Thank goodness for ol' reliable Panda Express. This one is just as good as everywhere else, with good sized portions at reasonable prices. Easy in, easy out, and this location even has a drive-through. Thumbs up. read more

Panda Express is saving my life in Maui. This review is, admittedly, bias because my affection is primarily due to having a food option that my bank account can tolerate. $10 for a bowl of orange chicken and chow mien is a survival tactic for me at this point. Jokes aside, this location is easy to access and has not been overly crowded either time I visited. The staff have been friendly and efficient. For some reason, the drive through isn't open but I did notice hiring signs on the window so perhaps it's a staffing issue. Going inside to order works just as well. If you see me at Panda Express during my time on the island, just know I'm doing what I can to not return to the mainland as a pauper. read more

They were open during a Kona low, which was nice. Food is mid and the poke at Foodland is cheaper. I would rather perpetually have a hair in my face than eat at Panda Express again. Boo read more

5 plus stars! Last year we had an unfortunate experience. Fast forward t this years visit to this location while vacationing. BEST PANDA EXPRESS! All I can say is wow. I ordered using the mobile app and when we arrived our order was ready as promised. We were greeted with a smile by two young ladies as we entered. We picked up our order and ate in the restaurant. The dining area was very clean and inviting. Our food was both hot and fresh and the serving portions were generous. Our faith in this location has been restored! We live in CA and visit this location every year and will continue to do so. Mahalo Panda for a wonderful quick and delicious meal! read more

Panda Express - No can like that closed early!!! - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Closed 20 minutes before posted hours. Says 7:30 pm weekdays on the door and they were locked up before 7:10.

6/28/2021: Here's my Panda Express Receipt proving I ate here after visiting Minit Medical for my eye infection. Sadly, I was feeling exasperated, since my left eye was puffy, running like an open faucet; I needed Chinese Comfort Food STAT! Anyway, Panda Express is the only "acceptable fast food" I'll eat aside, eating Foodland's Poke and steamed rice purchased from their deli counter; in fact, not only did I eat at the Lahaina Panda Express, I ate at the Kailua-Kona, Big Island Panda Express, too. Both Panda Express Restaurants are decent restaurants but, I must give props to the Kailua-Kona Chef for making everything delicious. Still, I think the Lahaina Panda Express Chef must have a meeting with the Kailua-Kona Chef in order, matching the same sauces and same quality. Moreover, I want complimenting the Wait Staff for carefully wrapping my to-go plate; I explained I was riding the Maui Bus so, the Male Wait Staff went into the kitchen with my to-go plate, he wrapped it with Saran Wrap, and carefully placed my meal in the Panda Express paper bag. Kudos, Bravo, and Mahalo! read more

Panda Express - 6/28/2021: Panda Express Receipt. - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

This place sucks, The workers are rude and will snicker at you, they don't take proper food safety precautions so u will find hair in ur food (cream cheese rangoons twice) they will forget your order and send u off without the correct stuff, then when u ask about what ur missing they'll look at you like your crazy, terrible service terrible practices, terrible location don't go here read more

Foods good, service is what u expect BUT drive through is ALWAYS closed for some odd reason. Annoying when you want to swing by for a quick dinner pick up; I often just leave and get something else. read more

Panda Express - Disappointed - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

The drive thru was closed walked in two customers ahead of us in line ordering. They had at least 6 workers all were speaking in Filipino language to each other while taking orders, cashiering and cooking. The Kam pao Chicken had more peanuts than chicken and vegetables also it was very oily. We asked for chop sticks instead of forks and to keep the fortune cookie which seemed to irritate the cashier. Don't think we will going back!! The ambiance is definitely unwelcoming! read more

ordered for for 11 wasn't ready til 11:30 because staff forgot about our food while we are standing right there.

Upon walking in here we weren't greeted or even acknowledged by staff. I ordered the food through my app and because it was so hot that day we decided to eat in. We asked for plates and the workers were so rude. They didn't want to help and had major attitudes with all of my family. We said thank you on the way out and the workers said nothing at all to us. We were the only customers in there. Skip this location and try another one. read more

July 12th. 10:30 am I ordered chicken teriyaki with broccoli beef and rice And when I open my plate and saw the chicken looked weird and uncooked so I ask if they can replace her for me and they gave me an attitude like I asked him for something inappropriate...... All wanted is normal cooked chicken so I can eat good not bad chicken. Very unhappy because eat there 4 times a week . read more

Do not go here a half an hour before closing. Right now they close at 7 PM. The dining room closes at 6:30. I was told that I had to use the drive-through. There were four, no more than five cars ahead of me by the time I got to order it was just before seven. There were three options available for the entrée. They really need to put up a sidewalk or window signage that says the dining room is closed, I saw at least a dozen people trying enter the dining room. Other signage that entrées will be limited through the drive-through would be helpful. I could've saved myself 1/2 hour of time. As there is only one way out of the drive-through and I did not order any of the items that I don't like, I had to wait until the person in front of me exited. It was frustrating. Unnecessary. And even though I live in Napili, I will probably avoid this location for many many years to come. read more

The food was exactly as you'd expect for Panda Express. The orange chicken was cooked perfectly compared with other Panda locations. If you're looking for some quick and easy fast food with a reliable taste and good service, this is your place! read more

This review is for their catering service which I was amazed by due to their efficiency. The west side's one and only Panda Express is located across the Lahaina Cannery and Lahaina Gateway shopping centers, in a cluster of other businesses including Walgreens, Starbucks w/ drive thru, and a yet-to-open Burger King (as KFC pulled out.) The inside is clean and spacious, with regular and high top tables, and a few outdoor seats. A drive thru is available. We were on our way to the west side to have lunch at another establishment, when my mom tells me that we had to also visit family in Lahaina because someone recently passed the day before. Thinking back to when my dad passed last year, the family we were about to visit brought over tons of food to us, which is what local families do to ease the burden and show respect. I reminded her of that gesture, which she was so glad I did, but then asked "Where are we going to get food from in Lahaina?" With such short notice, Panda Express came to mind as I know they do catering. Thing was, do they require a minimum amount of time for catering tray orders? My spouse phoned in, asked questions, and in less than 45 minutes, we left with a half pan of mushroom chicken, half pan of beef broccoli, and half pan of chow mein in hand, complete with heavy duty plastic sporks and a tong for serving, neatly stamped with "Panda Catering" on them. What a nice touch. The half pan of entrees were $40 each, and the half pan of chow mein was $18. SERVICE: Phone and in-person service was quick and friendly, something that's evident at many of the PE's I visit. OVERALL: Extremely fast and efficient catering option! So why not a 5? The food is good but not great. read more

Panda Express - Chow Mein (half pan with included heavy duty serving utensils) - VN - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Noodles tasted like they were burnt and the orange chicken wasn't sweet. The food had to have been sitting in the front for a while because the chicken was super tough. read more

Panda Express in Lahaina has reopened. But their hours seem a little inconsistent. Yesterday they closed 1 hour earlier than their posted hours. read more

We are still not eating out in sit down situations. Went to panda express tonight. Called our order ahead. It was great because we could pick up our called in order from the outside window. Did not have to go inside at all. We did have to pay with a plastic credit card. They have not gotten into the CV 19 headspace of accepting digital currency via my Apple wallet. When I asked them that I wanted to use that form of payment - they hardly even knew what I was talking about like I was from Mars. Regardless, our order was executed perfectly. The food was great, as always from this location. What's really nice is where this location is located , a drive-through Starbucks is right next-door, accepting digital currency, across the parking lot is Burger King, also accepting digital currency. All in all we love this place and the people working here are great. No attitude. Just happy to be working, unlike other places serving fast food we've found throughout the USA. read more

Panda Express - My fortune today - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

OK am I going to compare these 4 stars to an actual restaurant? NO! But for fast food, we were happy to find this easy dinner after a very long day of driving. No one was up for manners and sitting for food - we wanted quick, comfortable, reliable, casual. We brought this "home" and ate it in our hotel room watching TV just trying to relax - it tastes EXACTLY like it does at home, and for fast food, consistency is king. It means a lot to a Mama when her kids are satisfied with dinner after being so HANGRY. Thanks for the consistently tasty orange chicken, Panda Express! My boys felt comforted by your familiar quality and flavor. read more

Ate at Panda Express because we were stuck in some heavy traffic heading back to Lahaina so for a quick dinner I said let's just eat at Panda Express. It's in the same shopping center as Walgreen's. 2-entree plate & 1 side is $8.79 + tax .37c = $9.16. I got chow mein seemed to be made fresh, tiny thing of mixed veggie, & some kinda gross hot & sour soup. Don't get the soup! I should have gone with the Kung Po Chicken that looked good to me. Charged it. Got a stale fortune cookie too. read more

This was the first place I saw a Panda Express with a drive through. I am not tired of my chow mein and orange chicken. Super convenient, I wish more of them had a drive through. read more

Feel bad that I have to leave two stars. Huge Panda Express fans. The closest one where we live is over 45 min away and we happily drive there all the time to eat. We just visited the one in Lahaina for the second time this past week. We just got home tonight to eat and unfortunately we found thin strip of plastic in our daughter's bowl tonight (see pic) and the order was not 100 percent correct. This was the second questionable experience at this location. We visited last week and the order was not correct, the fortune cookies were stale and the Rangoon's were empty (see pic). The staff (via drive thru) was friendly and courteous, but they need tighten up a bit. I feel terrible leaving a bad review because we visit Panda quite often, but I have to call this one out. read more

Panda Express - My go too every time, same order same thing all the time - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Panda Express - nothing extraordinary, but super convenient with its drive-thru and perfect to-go spot. Reliably salty mainland Chinese dishes with a ton of side options (just the way I like it), but they also have some healthier options for those are into that I go directly to my night job from my full-time day job, and Panda is on my way to my second job so it's a typical stopover for an always hungry gal like myself. They have awesome catering options - my boss is a HUGE Panda fan (we even had it for her office birthday) so we frequent their pick-up and catering. You can order online and even set the time to when you'd like to pick up - soo great for the office and parties! I really like their to-go containers too, makes it easy to transport I like the panda bowls with brown rice, steamed veggies and broccoli and beef - they chow mein, springs rolls, orange chicken are all staples too, you really can't go wrong! I really appreciate that they ask you if you'd like to donate your change to charity, and who doesn't like a free fortune cookie with their meal?! Reliable, convenient, and yummy - good enough for me! read more

Rudest service ever! In the drive thru. First they couldn't get the order right. Then the female couldn't figure out how the orders at panda work. We asked for an orange chicken plate they continually kept added walnut shrimp bowl. Then they put the orange chicken in a bowl and said she couldn't make the plate. She is the one that did the order incorrect 4 times! The male was a little better and fixed the order but was rude as well. To top things off the food was not fresh and they did not honor the posted hours on the door and online. We'll never go back to this location. read more

Ok. First off. I like panda express. But it is a chain..... Nothing wrong. Good food clean place. I only give it 3 stars cause of the obvious fake reviews. It's a chain... All over the US. People are saying how hard it is to find or ..... The place to go when on Maui..... Let's get real...... Like saying McDonald's is the place to go when you traveled a thousand miles and spent thousands of dollars..... Your gonna go to a statewide chain and be bothered with giving it rave reviews. Only on complaint right now. This is my pet peve..... As I'm writing this an employee sits down next to me and starts watching videos on her phone during break. Sorry. Unacceptable. Just changed it to 2 stars. Hard to find a quiet indoor place to eat..... Especially on Maui. read more

Worst customer aervice ever!! Do not come here. The workers are rude and when asking for my fortune cookies, they claimed to already give them to me. After explaining we did not get them the workers only gave me 4 after ordering a family meal and asking for 6. After that the workers began to roll their eyes at us and giving us disgusting looks. read more

Panda Express - the inside of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

My children love eating here, but the drive thru cashier was very rude! I wanted to add an additional drink to our order and she instructed me to drive around a 2nd time to order. Seriously?!! read more

The cashier is so not helpful - when I asked for water, she said the water is sold out (while showing me other soft drinks). Asking for some plates - 'we don't have any'. I don't get it. How can you not have plates when you are in a fast food business? I asked her for utensils. Oh, she was so ready to say 'no' but then realized that I pointed to the bin of folks right behind her. I don't know what makes her so impatient with me - I was quite polite and a paying customer. Store manager - please have a conversation with this young lady. she really should not be serving customers. Maybe you should promote her to management as she has all the attitude of one. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

great team player and constantly help others meet their customer requests. Well done! Good job

I am not sure why management or maybe corporate has decided that tea shouldn't be served anymore unless its bought in a bottle. First the raspberry iced tea was stopped, then earlier tonight I was told that they no longer have passion tea which I prefer less than the raspberry but would still rather have over soda. Maybe the employee just didn't choose the right words and meant that they ran out for the night? That I can understand, because they would need to make a new batch which would take a fair amount of time. But I did ask if they had ANY sort of tea and was told that they only had bottled tea. Also big manager dude, chill out. You push your employees too much. If you add more pressure to expedite faster, that is when mistakes tend to happen. Id rather wait an extra minute or two for my order than get it faster but with something wrong or missing. read more

Excellent food, generous quantity, price around $10 a plate. This is one of the best options for consistently delicious Chinese food in all of Hawaii. Really good if you're a tourist in need of some quick food read more

Panda Express - Two-item plate with noodles/fried rice, beef broccoli, and string bean chicken breast, $9.80 - Chinese Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

This place saved us! After 2 attempts at other places that were closed due to the rain or long wait times we thought we would try it as we were getting hangry. We are from Canada so don't have this chain and I assumed it was like Manchu Wok, a super American style Chinese food. This place had really good flavoured and crispy chicken and beef! The fried rice was so so. The spice level was actually good as well, usually the American Chinese food places when they say spicy it is super mild. read more

disappointed second time in 2weeks the food has changed kung pao tastes burnt. i know staffing is scarce on the island but ???

Easy access and way out. I love this location with tasty food and friendly service. Associates are very happy and welcoming.

Walnut Shrimp tasted fishy. Orange chicken strips cut so thin that they ended up chewy. Got charged .49 cents for a empty cup for water, not on menu board or mentioned by cashier. Disappointing visit. read more

Bad, bad, bad. Unless you are desperate you don't want to order there. Go to pizza hut instead.

On vacation and went in with my kids. I don't have anything against Michelle but whatever happened in her life I was not at fault nor my kids. She was extremely rude and impatient to the point where my 9 year old ask why she was so mad. I hope she feels better and hopefully she remembers that the people who walk into Panda Express had nothing to do with her problems. read more
