Yummy food. Fried rice was poofy and delicious. Had the 2 entree meal with Sriracha Shrimp and Orange Chicken. Orange Chicken was sweet, tasted like General Tao. Sriracha Shrimp was not that spicy. Everything tasted even better with their chilli sauce. Sure to go there again! read more

Panda Express - Fried Rice with Orange Chicken and Sriracha Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

See all

One word..."FAIL" Figured I check out this new spot that opened up for a quick lunch. I walk in and half of the dishes aren't even available and this is just before noon so don't you think you should stock up for the lunch rush? The lady helping mentioned she could take my order I pay and they will bring it out to me...sure why not??!!! 20 minutes later after watching everyone come after me get their food someone finally makes eye contact with me and asks what I was waiting for...turns out they gave my order to someone else. The lady goes to that table apologizes and bring them their correct order while I'm still standing there without an explanation of where my lunch is. Then they push a plate to me and apologized for the long wait, i look at it and tell them that's not my order. So after a 30 minute ordeal of waiting around I just asked for a refund and when the Manager comes over to process doesn't even care to ask why or what is wrong or insist how he can correct the situation. Yah..."FAIL" read more

Very disappointing experience. If you've had Panda Express in the States and then try this place, you'll be grossly disappointed! The food tastes like cardboard, small portion size, VERY expensive and is of low quality. read more

Very, very disappointing. My husband and I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now and we finally did. We both ordered a plate each. I also got an egg roll and my husband had a spring roll - we shared a medium drink. It came out to $29 dollars - so not super cheap Chinese food but unfortunately it tasted like cheap stale Chinese food. The rice was very dry and flavourless. Tasted like old Chinese buffet rice. The chicken was chewy and again tasted kind of old. It could of been good if it was fresher possibly? My egg roll was alright but unlike any egg roll I have had before because it had a strange flavour while my husband threw out his spring rolls they were that bad. The amount of food you got was ridiculous for the price too. One little scoop of food... Would of honestly been better going to the mall for Chinese. Better portions, better food and cheaper. We didn't go at an odd time either it was around 7:20pm. So there really wasn't any reason for the food to taste like it was 6 hours old. Staff wasn't friendly and didn't seem to want to be there. We definitely won't be back. This is one of review that surprised me. I had heard such amazing things about this company from my friends in the states. I guess they couldn't bring that same amount of skill here in Canada. read more

Short Version: 1st visit offered bad service, no value and I was waaaay over charged. My $8.80 two entree meal became an $11.80 one entree meal for no observable reason. Terrible experience. Long Version: I clearly should have read these reviews BEFORE trying this place. I will spell it out. Hash-Tag-Fail. The generic "Chinese" food was well....generic. The silly format of ordering was not explained well. Panda Express makes you select "entrees" not proteins. I'm not sure they understand what entree means. Also, that's a french word, why are they employing it in a chinese restaurant? I just said that I wanted one protein(shrimp), some veggies and some noodles. Seems like a reasonable selection for chinese food. The minimum "entrees" you can order are 2. Since I only wanted one protein I thought there would be a cheaper option. I was wrong. They just substitute the tiny scoop of broccoli in place of a beef or chicken option. Ok fine, that's just the way the menu is set up. Terrible, but it's the way it is. It's only $8.80 anywyas...EXCEPT! then they charged me an EXTRA $1.50 for the shrimp I selected as my one protein. To recap, I have chosen less items then they are charging me for PLUS paid a premium for the one "entree" I did select. When I brought this to the attention of the staff they just looked bewildered and said that's just the way it is. On top of this, the lady behind me had some sort of mix up and they immediately gave her a free entree voucher!! Are you kidding me?!?! What ever...I will not come here again. Lesson learned. If that wasn't enough as I finished eating, (who I assumme to be) the manager brought 3 staff members out to the dinning area and sat them at the table beside me. He then began to discuss HR problems about how the feud between the two useless girls up front had started to affect the customers and service. I only have a 1/2 hour for lunch otherwise I would've just joined in on the meeting. It's not like they cared about employee privacy in any way. I made a mistake choosing this place to eat. They are doing me a favour in the long run I guess by encouraging me to just make my own damn food. Thank you for being Terrible Panda Express. read more

Nice quickie Chinese , u can sample food n decide what u want . Like their chilli beef and Hakka noodle combo . Awesome

This place is very bad. I had their noodles on a Friday night with some friends and I had food poisoning all weekend. I would never go here again. Honestly if you want Chinese food in the area, you should go to Congee Queen. This place is not worth your time. It just tastes like food court food. read more

This is definitely one of my favourite places to go to eat. I live over an hour away , and drive here just for the food / service . The employees are always super friendly and helpful even when busy . Always exceptional service. I highly recommend eating there . :) read more

The customer service was fantastic. Friendly staff. Long line up moved fast. It was my first time having Panda Express and the food was really good for Chinese fast food. Good selection too. read more

The food and the service is excellent. The choices of main dishes is versatile and unique to their own flavours. The choices of sides do include a range of vegetables, noodles, and fried rice. The server was very kind and accommodating! I am definitely going back! The restaurant is truly different amongst the other choices in the Heart Land Plaza area. My honest opinion of the Oriental Food is great, and it also the quickest! read more

The service was probably the best I have ever received for any restaurant. From the server, to the cashier, to the cook - absolute 10/10 customer service - so friendly. I had asked if they had more beef and broccoli as there was only a small portion of broccoli left on the hot plate, and they cooked a new batch for me, no problem. The beef and broccoli were cooked to perfection. However, the chow mein noodles and the other meats we had (orange chicken and Beijing beef) were underwhelming (not bad by any means, but just meh). They really need to get more carb options such as Shanghai or rice noodles. They only had fried rice or chow mein. Although I haven't tried any other locations, I feel this is an issue for the company, rather than the actual store. read more

Friendly staff, they literally go out of their way to provide you with excellent customer service, and they don't even accept tips ;) Good food, but then again you can't go wrong with Panda's Orange Chicken and Beef & Broccoli. Honestly I don't understand why people are bashing this place, but then again I only visited this one time.. Definitely recommend it to everyone! read more

I have been to this location a handful of times and all visits have been constantly the same with fresh, fast and friendly service. let me add the employees here are very friendly id have to say one of the best service i have gotten from any restaurant. read more

This was the most disgusting food I have ever had! My husband brought home takeout this evening. We live about 25 minutes away and he wanted to get takeout at another restaurant that opened at Heartland and I thought I could have Panda Express. They have a good reputation in the States and I thought why not. I have a fish & seafood allergy so these types of chain, though not authentic are usually safer for me. What he can home with was a soggy bag of sauce. The takeout container had less than a tablespoon of kung pao chicken and strips of teriyaki chicken and about 2 cups of rice- so $13 for mostly rice! The teriyaki wasn't breast meat it was thigh (I think) and it had no taste whatsoever, it was gross. The kung pao was mostly chicken skin!! I spit it out and threw it in the garbage! Please, do yourself a favour and go somewhere, anywhere else. read more

Food was good. Ordered it by phone and it was ready when I got there. Little pricey for dinner for two.

Don't waste your money or time here. Mediocre bland food. Poor selection. Plenty of things on the menu but very few actually available to order without a 15 min wait. Anything that looks remotely nice is classified "premium" and costs $1.50 extra. Not going back there. read more

The food is definitely prepared well and tastes fresh and spicy enough to hit the spot, However a bit pricey and portions are quite small. The location is very clean and service was good. read more

Quick and easy. A decent selection. It's a good spot for lunch. The only disappointing part was no pandas. I had my hopes up to see one. Maybe next time. read more

It's going downhill. Food tastes different and takes a long time to wait. On a Saturday they still make a tiny bit of food at a time. I would understand if they don't want to waste food on a slow day but even on weekends? read more

After seeing the Panda stare at me for a while, we finally had the opportunity to visit, and we were not disappointed. The food isn't gourmet, but it's good. It's a better and healthier version of Manchu Wok. I read the reviews and it seemed like they had a pretty slow start, but I think they are on their game now. We went for lunch and pretty much all the dishes were available. The only thing we were running low on was stir fried vegetables, and even then, by the time our party of 5 ordered, the new batch of veggies was ready! It could have also been our fault as three of us ordered "all veg" as the sides instead of a veg/carb. Their famed orange chicken is YUMMY! Also tried the sweetfire chicken (the one with pineapples) and the green bean and chicken dish. We enjoyed all of them and would definitely go back again. Yay Panda! read more

Panda Express! Best Chinese food I've had in Ontario so far. It actually compares to PF Changs in Buffalo. Smells great. Looks great. We had orange chicken, sriracha shrimp, mixed veggies, fried rice, Kung pao chicken, sweet fire chicken. All were seasoned and cooked to perfection. read more

good food and fresh. but amount of food is becoming lesser and lesser each time i visit. usually chinese food have really good servings. read more

Like every new business there will be growing pains. One of the problems with this place is they're trying to balance having fresh out of the pan food ready a la carte. They cook small portions so it's not sitting out long. Trying to do this and trying to serve a lunch rush doesn't always work. As a matter of fact if l walk in and don't see the girl with the Raquel name tag, I usually roll my eyes and mutter,"$ hit". She seems to be one her game and handles the kitchen staff well. The food is not bad. But some of the sauces can be a little on the sweet side. The portions are generous. I usually have the Beijing Beef or the Sweetfire chicken. Clean, open concept, friendly staff. read more

While this Panda location had a slow start (no advertising???), now I'm met with lines out the door at lunch time. Thankfully, the lines go pretty quickly. Even with the crowds, they take time to do special orders with a smile. I love that I can get veggies instead of carby sides and many low calorie choices. The food is always fresh. You can see bins of fresh veggies through the doors of the cooler. If something isn't out, they'll make it for you. The plates are over-flowing. A side of teriyaki for the veggies has never cost me any extra. A sample is always allowed, if you ask. The only thing I would change is putting the sauces back out instead of having to ask for them from the cashier. Bizarre that they've had to do this in Canada but not the US. And please, MORE LOCATIONS!! I'm so happy to have discovered this gem! read more

We went during a busy lunch hour and they weren't lacking any options! The staff is great, and the manager was super nice! I'm from the States and love Panda down here. I gotta say, this Panda Express was a lot cleaner and more modern than 99% of the ones in the States. xD Portions were similar to the US, and everything tasted the same. Great job:) read more

Stay far away!!! Very expensive. 2 choice of meal, fried rice, and a small drink does not cost $20. You are paying their costumer service coz they are always smiling. ( I wonder why ) read more

Very small quantity for the price. Any other hakka Chinese places in the area will most likely beat this place in both value and taste. Food is never heated properly usually varies from warm to cold. read more

I'm so happy that they have Panda Express in mississauga! When I entered the place, the staff greeted me and they were so friendly and has a great customer service. The ambiance was great, place is clean! They have a lot of food options. When I learned that I can do half and half of my sides (rice, noodles or mixed veggies) it made a whole lot easier. The orange chicken is amazing and the spicy shrimp (chef special) was so good, it has a spice kick to it. Although I have to wait for a few minutes for them to get ready my order, totally understand because deep fried foods take more like 6-7 minutes, and the not-deep-fried-food will probably take 3-4 minutes. And also there were some empty pans, but the ladies in front told me that I can get spicy shrimp with a little bit of the honey walnut shrimp because they didn't want for me to wait that long and actually that was a pretty smart move. I don't even mind waiting, at least its fresh and hot (everything on the table is FRESH and hot). For the waiting part, it's fine. I'm still a fan! P.S Panda Express should have some more cream cheese wantons! With the dumplings. (I noticed that its not always there) Overall, I love the place! The staff! and the foooooooooood!!! Must try the: Orange Chicken, Spicy Shrimp (Chef Special), Beijing Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp and Cream cheese wantons! Thumbs up! :) read more

I finally got around to visiting since they first opened in heartland. The restaurant is clean, servers are very kind and helpful and the food is great. One of the best chinese takeout I've had. Everything had just come out of the wok when we ordered and the serving size was way beyond what we were expecting based on the low ratings. I suggest the orange chicken and honey shrimp. Yummy!! Will definitely be coming back for more!! read more

Darn it, I should have read the reviews before I go but I went thwre based on high reviews of the US chain. Well I guess I'll say I agree with the previous reviewers and found that the 50% of the dishes were finished or about to be finished. And I thought may be coz I went there on a Saturday evening but now I see that that's not the case. They scraped the pans for our order and the portion was really really small! The 3 entrée plate could hardly be compared to a plate of food that you can get even at a mall food court:( and it was priced at $9.98 plus tax. the Honey Walnut Shrimps were the only seafood available and you get charged $1.49 extra (loool) The taste wasn't special, (but maybe coz it came from the slightly warm bottom of a pan) so I was left very dissapointed. Great start of a business people. Usually it starts good and then quality drops, but these guys decided to change that too:)) Ah well, it's just another place I ain't going back to. read more

food is definitely a 10/10 but the servers always load the container with the rice and only give like 5 pieces of chicken :(

My friend and I came here the first time today. I ordered chow mien noodles with orange chicken. It is at best a 5/10 meal. The cost to quantity ratio sucks to be honest. My friend ordered 3 things. He said the rice is good. Shanghai beef was good. The atmosphere is nice and clean. You can try samples of stuff which is nice. The best part about this place was the sobey energize green tea. Tasted like heaven to wash down the taste of the wannabe Asian food. The fortune cookies taste awesome!!!! read more

It's comparable to anything inside a mall, which doesn't necessarily make it bad. My main gripe is the food is never ready here. It's usually just a lot of empty trays the few times I've been here. Be prepared to wait, which kind of defeats the purpose of going here in the first place. Food is pretty good, but a little pricey compared to the equivalent. read more

OMG I can't believe Panda Express is here. The orange chicken is to die for! They closed the ones in the malls in Niagara Falls NY and I thought I'd never get it again. I can't wait to go...il. Be there every week :) read more

It's a good place to eat. The food is fresh and tastes fantastic will get again to try the soup.

Unfortunately this review comes with a poor taste in my mouth. I am a huge fan of Panda Express and am super happy they've finally come to Canada. I'm hoping quickly they open a second location because this location is horrible. I've been to this location 5 times, 4 of which I had waited for over 5 minutes to be helped. THIS IS A WALK UP CAFETERIA STYLE STORE I've watched as the staff behind the counter would rather talk and joke amongst themselves then attend to a paying customer. A second visit showed the staff speaking amongst themselves in another language laughing and giggling. I waited for a full 5 minutes which doesn't seem long but if you are the second of only 2 customers it's an eternity. The food was cold and portions were small. For 15 dollars I will be taking my money elsewhere. Thanks Panda Express but until your store understand customer service, I won't be back. Signed, Sad but loyal customer read more

Buyer Beware - Extremely underwhelming and bland . . . I ordered their signature orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp with a side of steamed rice. All three items were super dry and flavourless . . . Portions were minimal and I can tell the server was counting the pieces of chicken and shrimp spooned into my take-out box. Overall the service, flavour, food quality and dollar value per portion are way below average . . . I would advise against dining here. However, if the craving persists then head to Schezwan Express, which in my opinion is a much superior alternative than this dismal establishment. read more
