This is an apples-to-apples review. Compared to other Panda Express cafes, and compared to all other fast food places -- this one is a winner. We were there at a non-meal-rush time -- about 2pm on a Friday. Only 4 tables occupied at the time. The food was hot, fresh, and exactly what I expect Panda Express to taste like (PE is husband's favorite fast food.... so I've eaten a lot of PEs, from one coast to the other.) Usually, my biggest complaint is that PE food is cold before you can get it to the table. By the time you walk through 25feet of cafeteria line and stop to pay and chat and pick a drink and find the flatware -- the food is stone cold and has a texture like rubber-bands. However -- we got our meals in to-go boxes and it was still steaming hot when we got to the car. I always get a plateful of the veggies with a couple of entrees -- and sure enough, the veggies were fork-tender without being mushy. Entrees were hot, but not overcooked (as can sometimes happen with a steam-table.) Husband's steamed white rice was also perfect (it sometimes turns to paste if left on the steamer table for too long) -- so they are keeping the food at the right temp. Not much else to say. It was a satisfying lunch in portions big enough that the puppies got a taste, too. read more

I've been to this place several times and I really don't like how they serve food here, the portions are just meager.

Found a suspicious bone in my orange chicken have never seen this before. This isn't the first incident of this. read more

May 10, 2026 I placed mobile order that was not ready when I got there the lead (Walter who I believe lied about his name) was to busy talking to an employee about " Dykes" and showing photos of said "Dykes" instead of working on the mobile orders .. would not recommend disappointing experience.. they tired communicating in Spanish which back fired because I speak Spanish .. Walter needs to take a course to improve his lead skills read more

I've come to this Panda pretty often while in town. Service is always great, my order is never wrong. The food always tastes fresh. Most times I'm getting food to go and have a 10 min drive hime and the food is still hot. Keep up the good work. read more

Just got home and opened my two entrée meal and it is absolutely terrible. The beef and broccoli has no flavor. The broccoli is total mush. The beef is dried out. There's absolutely no flavoring in the rice and it's not all cooked. I came across chunks the size of a marble that are glob together. It says if they didn't add any seasoning. The noodles taste like they're almost ready to go rancid. I just wasted $11. read more

See all

My issue is when I turned my chowmein back in to replace it for some fried rice due to the fact that it was dry and had no flavor, the lady that exchanged it for me had an attitude in return. read more

My orange chicken was not sauced properly and was also soggy, very disappointing. When I go to spend MY money I expect the food to be good, GET BETTER PANDA. read more

Wow. Service was slightly below average and I had to wait for them to finish making more broccoli with beef. Well my container had all broccoli and one piece of beef the size of a quarter. Waste of money. I'll not be going back. read more

You know how they have all kinds of photos in the store about their awesome crispy almond chicken? Guess what? Enjoy the pictures. They don't have it. We were told their distributor doesn't have it and they will not be getting any. Take down all the marketing hype in the store for a product you don't even have. read more

Ordered ahead on the app 45 minutes early for pickup at a specific time due to a known constraint I had later that evening. Arrived 5 min after requested pickup time only to find that they hadn't even started my order yet. When I pointed that out I got a very short condescending "we are right in the middle of our dinner rush" and further ignored. Did I mention I stood at the pickup area for a good 3 minutes more (now almost 10 minutes past my request) being dutifully ignored by multiple employees. Like no s#1t Sherlock, I can see you are busy I know you have a rush which is *why* *I* *ordered* *ahead* *for* a *scheduled* *pickup*. So, if doing that is irrelevant and your not going to honor my virtual place in line favoring only people standing in front of you (which by the way I watched you fulfill at least 7 orders while I was standing there holding my ****) then why offer it as an option? By the way, I ordered from your website and not a 3rd party delivery app and it's not like you aren't just plopping crap from a bulk pan into a styrofoam tray as opposed to actually needing time to cook to order. And, after a very short drive back home everything was stone cold and entree portions were nearly non existent. Utter garbage and terrible service. I needed something quick fast and in a hurry, pretty much your entire business plan, and yet you failed miserably. Never again. read more

I really like this Panda Express because they have orange chicken. From my experience some only have either orange chicken or sweet and sour chicken. The service is pretty quick but it is a little loud in there. But that's too be expected during busy hours. It's only around $10 for a 3 item/foods plate. read more

Only good sometimes. It's always very clean though! The employees are also usually friendly

Unfortunately there are no exceptional Chinese restaurants in Mcminnville. This is a fast food restaurant but it does have pretty good food and service. read more

Ate at Panda tonight In McMinnville, OR. Worst PE we've ever experienced. Small servings by Maddie who had a sour attitude. Three small pieces in my green beans with chicken. Same for my husband who had broccoli with beef. Almost no beef. Again smaller servings than we've ever had. Plus I got charged for a shrimp entree but didn't have one. We're not happy and won't stop there again. We were SO disappointed. read more

I enjoy eating at this restaurant. Jerry took well care of us and made sure we had the right order. Felt very welcomed! Will definitely eat here again! read more

Don't order this through door dash they give you half portions or the wrong order all together. This store is sloppy but they gave portions of a bowl when I ordered a bigger plate. Staff should be trained better and not try to charge full price for half portions read more

New management. Portions are much smaller. Wouldn't recommend. Panda has always been getting a lot of food for your money... Too bad to see they're not making enough money on their bulk food. read more

I ordered food from Panda Express yesterday and spent $46 on dinner and the food wasn't good at all I will never order from here ever again.

Tonight was unimpressive. I ordered online to pick up at 7:45, and it wasn't ready until 8:05. I ordered half chow mein, half steam rice and received fried rice. When I arrived only one person was ahead of me, read more

This Panda Express has great service and we like to comeback when in town. They were happy to make a dish that wasn't available at the time for us. read more

As a large national chain you expect a certain level of service and quality. Tonight was a less than great visit. Got there just after 8 (like 8:15) and asked if they were about to close. The server said, well, yes. (they close at 10). There were a number of customers kind of hanging out, most of the food containers were sad and empty. Seems everybody was waiting for fresh food. We thought about leaving, that would have been the smart move. Fresh Chow Main and a Orange Chicken. No flavor in the slightly undercooked noodles, the chicken was drowned in sugar sauce. The black pepper chicken was soggy and limp. Their new General Tso's chicken was tasteless, fried. Not worth the money. Too expensive for not so fresh food. We'd hoped for more. read more

The food is always good but there is no sense of leadership at this location. I understand it's kids' first jobs but there needs to be someone to teach them how to problem solve. The last couple of times in the line will wrap around behind the door. Simple things that should be taught in a training. Food is always good and fresh.. but again the hold up isn't waiting for fresh food it's just skills behind the counter. read more

This started out being a good place. Its gone down hill fast. ? They give small portions, the food was cold. What happened Panda Express? read more

Excellent food. The POTSTICKERS & EGG ROLLS are often NOT made. I appreciate the WHOLE GRAIN BROWN RICE! Need more employees to fix the entrees and missing items. I would buy more food IF ALL items were made and available. Need enough EMPLOYEES to be able to serve a line of customers. One night the had no foam shell plates. We were served with smaller foam bowls. They need to order essential items like serving ware. read more

What the hell is the point of ordering online if you're not going to bother to make it when you get the order? I don't want to have to wait in line when I arrive just so I can beg you for my order that I already paid for. The whole point of ordering ahead is so that we can just pick it up. read more

repeatedly packed the wrong food for door dash, refused to remedy issue. never put soy sauce, chip sticks or cookies in the bag even when asked for. portions getting smaller, quality getting less read more

I came here on 2/27/18. I had the chow main noodles, with Orange Chicken and Baijing Beef. It was good and had a lot of flavor. I would definitely eat here again in the future. read more

I try and order online to save my family from waiting in line but you do not have all your food options online that is available at the location. Other locations have the food options online and it makes it a lot easier. You don't show teriyaki chicken as an option. No one will answer your phones, ever. I will wait and go elsewhere when we are hungry from now on. read more

Stood in line waiting to get service while the girl behind the counter was busy talking to some regulars. After 10 minutes I left. Hello? I know you want to be kind to your customers but I'm there to get a quick lunch not waste my time while your giving your regulars a discount and hoping for a date. read more

Expect a long wait, even when they are not busy. Last time I went I ordered ahead. I showed up 20 minutes after my food was supposed to be ready and still ended up waiting for 15 minutes. The couple next to me ordered online and said they had been waiting 30 minutes for their food and they had showed up on time. read more

Ordered bowl. The chow mein had no taste. Tge teriyaki chicken had no taste. Had to tell person dishing up the bowls three times what I wanted. Then was asked again what I wanted. They have no retention of anything. Never eating there again. read more

Make sure you pick up your order. Paid the extra $1.50 for honey walnut shrimp and it was delivered to my door. 3 pieces of shrimp. Lesson learned. read more

No complaints about the food. It was exactly what we expected from a Panda Express. I will say however, it was embarrassing and sad to watch one of the employees, Hayley, bully and degrade another employee (didn't get that girls name) in front of everyone. She was unbelievably rude and pushed her out of the way a few times. By the way Hayley was talking to her my guess is she is new but rather than taking opportunities to teach her she just scolded her multiple times in front of customers. She was literally being a bully. Very sad to watch. read more

Servers was impatient. The table was dirty even though the restaurant was empty. The Beijing beef tasted like paint!!! The vegetables where not cooked and where also cold. Bathroom was out of toilet seat covers. If the web service on my phone and the the yelp app would have cooperated I would have avoided this sorry excuse of a restaurant. read more

This location has the worst customer service I have ever received. They were busy and the girl behine the counter was extremely rude. When we paid she basically threw the cup and bag at us and walked away. She looked annoyed to even be there. They were out of most of their food and when asked how long it would be for ragoons she rolled her eyes and yelled at the cooks behind her. Someone should really train these people on customer service. read more

Done...been here to many times when they run out of items...both lunch and dinner hours...6 employees here one cooking one helping customers...the rest? You tell me read more

A chain fast-food Chinese restaurant. I used to enjoy this place a lot but sadly the food quality has gone down lately. Also coupled with increases in price, I can't really recommend this particular location. The best selections in my opinion are the chow mein, orange chicken, and the sweet fire chicken breast. read more

Worst customer service ever. The boy working was talking crap about us in Spanish to the other girl worker next to him. Little did he know I understood him. I will not be coming back. They lady then went to give me the last 10 pieces of orange chicken they had instead of giving me fresh food which I paid for. read more

My boyfriend and I both decided to eat dinner here since we have loved previous Panda Express's in the past. The service was good, and we were waited on quickly, but when we sat down to eat both of our meals were lukewarm. They tasted fine, but definitely should have been hotter. We both ended up a little nauseous later that evening. If the food's not hot, don't eat it. Maybe this was just a fluke experience, but we won't be returning any time soon. read more
