Panda Express use to be my go to place for cheap Americanized Chinese food. They are consistent as long as the food is freshly cooked. Their bigger plate use to be $6 or $7, now it's over $10. At this point, you can remove cheap from my previous statement. If you are looking for low carb options, follow me. I always get the Bigger Plate with the Vegetables as side and 3 servings of Teriyaki chicken (NO SAUCE). This is usually around 4 net carbs maybe a little bit more. The place is moderately clean. Sometimes I have to clean my own table. Whether if you're here or in west coast, the food is always consistent. Like McDonalds you always know what you're going to get. That is why they are successful... they are consistently okay. Except to the Shanghai Steak. It was good with asparagus for a while until they changed it to green beans (to drive food cost down). read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

The food is fresh and tastes great I have never waited but a few minutes Service was good I really like pandA express read more

Mobile order: Went to pickup order and was told they don't have it! They say wait a moment while we try to find order. I wait, I was told we will make your order now. I'm in the drive through and I watch as they make it 6:03pm. Unfortunately not all my order is ready and I'm told to pull around and wait some more. I wait 35 minutes!!! All while my food sits while remaining order is filled. My food is cold at this point!! I'm frustrated because I'm not dressed or feeling particularly well to go in and complain at this point. I did a mobile order so it will be done and ready to pickup! I don't t want to deal with people not feeling well. What a joke!! read more

Panda Express - My order!! - Chinese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

When I went to order food, the server, Sapphire, told me I would need to wait about 6 minutes for the orange chicken because they had run out. However, as more guests arrived, she served them the new batch I had been waiting for and completely forgot about my order. When she finally saw me again, she pretended to look through bags, as if searching for my order. Instead of acknowledging her mistake, she lied, claiming she had given my order to someone else in the drive-thru, even though she had served customers who arrived after me. It wouldn't have been a big deal to wait for a fresh batch, but her dishonesty really left a bad impression. So I took my service elsewhere. read more

Drive-thru service is fast (3 minutes from order to payment to driving away with food) if you are the only vehicle in line, but it seems to disproportionately slow down with multiple vehicles in line (possibly due to larger orders or waiting for a fresh batch of food to come out). Food is usually hot and fresh, but occasionally (like today), the side (Chow Mein) was more cold than hot or even room temperature. I have only had to wait once for an entree to finish cooking; most visits the food is always filled and ready to serve. Prices are in line with all other Panda Express restaurants I occasionally visit; expect to pay ~$11 per person (~$13 if getting a drink also). I have only used the drive-thru service at this location, so I cannot speak to the atmosphere inside, but the staff in the drive-thru is always friendly enough with the 20 seconds of interaction I have. read more

I ordered thru Uber. Bigger Plate, fried rice, chow mein, Honey walnut Shrimp, teriyaki chicken, beef broccoli. I received no teriyaki chicken . The food was cold and beef broccoli had no flavor, more like gravy than sauce. Fried rice had no flavor, was dry and had a few bits of carrots in it. The chow mein had no flavour and noodles were dry on edges. Shrimp was good but cold. Eggs rolls were ok. I was very disappointed. Nothing like chinese anything. read more

Why bother being open if you just stop making some items. You are not "out" of something. It's just inconvenient to make chow mein before closing. 45 minutes before closing the dine in portion an hour and 15 before shutting down. read more

I have been here before months ago. Now it seems to be a new staff, I waited for 5 mins at front counter, no one acknowledged I was standing there. Service is SAD, but these younger employees want 15+ an hour to work. Explain this ,,when you don't acknowledge your customers. I WONT BE back read more

Food was hot, fresh & delicious. Placed to go order on the app, went through the drive through for pickup & they asked me to put into a parking spot & would bring the order out. A server brought the order out within 2 minutes and was very friendly. I will definitely be back to this location! read more

I enjoy Panda Express and service always good. However, twice I have gone. No veggies. They ran out. No teriyaki chicken ready, you have to wait 15 min. Seems they are not foreseeing when something runs low. Hope this gets better or I will go elsewhere. read more

Drive through experience was quick and easy, staff is friendly and helpful, Quickest Panda I've been to in a while!

all this meat no sauce. no teriyaki , no duck sauce, no sweet and sour, should have just went to Wendy to pick up sauces for my food. SAD!!!! read more

Pretty much the worst experience at a Panda Express. The food was cold and the service was just plain incompetent. Giving the same order 5 times in row, watching them scrape the wrong item off my plate and laying the new item in the same spot. Cold noodles and crappy food. Horrible. read more

Every time I come here I wonder why I come back! These people can never get anything right all I ordered was a kids meal with a side of spring rolls, just to get rushed through the drive-through to have to park and go back in and get my spring rolls because they were not in my bag. When I walked in and let them know they all looked at me like I was crazy and acted as though they didn't want to give me or owe me anything. I get back to my vehicle to finally enjoy my lunch just to see that they also did not give me a straw for my drink n or napkins! Do better and please get friendlier people because this team here is not. I felt uncomfortable as soon as I walked in this place! This location sucks and I will stick with the one off nine mile road! read more

I've had nothing but bad experiences with this restaurant. Orders are either screwed up, cancelled without your consent, or just not ready. The staff are rude and unapologetic. Corporate needs to look into this location and how it is being run. The worst panda express I've been to (and I've been to many). Today (2/6/2021) I placed a mobile order at 10:50am to be ready by 11:03am. I arrived at 11:08am and the food was not prepared. They hadn't even started working on my order. I then had to wait until after 11:20am before I finally got my order. In the meantime, they served many other customers who arrived after me. The staff were rude and did not even offer an apology. They acted as if I was an inconvenience to them. They also gave very little food and forgot to include teriyaki sauce in my teriyaki chicken order. read more

Staff was very nice and generous with their portions. I've read some "not so good" reviews about this particular store however, my experience was delightful! read more

Very good oriental! When it isn't well it isn't But the walnut chicken. The orange chicken and the black pepper beef are my favorite entrees. My other favorite is the egg rolls. Thanks for the takeout! read more

OMG.........I ordered chicken with mushrooms, orange chicken and chow mein noodles. It was the nastiest meal I have ever had. Chicken in both dishes had bone and grizzle chips in the meat. The noodles tasted like rancid grease. So bad I removed the app from my phone. Threw it in the garbage and made my self bacon and eggs for dinner. Don't go there. UGH read more

Good food and friendly staff. Staff are sharp and clean. Service, appearance, and cleanliness are a thing not seen too often these days, so we'll worth letting others know read more

Panda Express - a view of the dining area - Chinese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Don't trust their posted hours! They are one of those restaurants that chooses their own hours. Third time I've shown up to their doors during open hours, but still no service. I showed up 10:30am on a Sunday waiting to pick up friends from airport. Closed doors. Food is great. But if they need to shorten their hours to better fit their employees, then please do so. Because online hours are what I look at before making the trip there. read more

Been coming here at 9pm for almost 10 years since I moved here, closest thing to island food back home. Never had an incident or complaint until tonight. Every time I go through the drive through the cashier usually lets me know whats cooked and ready and if anything I need to order isn't ready, they usually let me know it's gonna be a short wait so they can cook the food. I usually ALWAYS tell them no problem, I don't mind waiting and I'll happily pay for any extra charges. This night was completely different, the cashier who took my order (wearing the name tag powell, mentioned her name was mohome or something similar, she's usually polite or was my last 2 visits but I could tell she was angry because I wanted to order food that wasn't ready yet) was determined to not hear anything I was saying and even more determined to not make anything I ordered, she was extremely rude with me and said she didn't care that I traveled a whole 45 mins to get there at 9:21pm for her to say they close at 930pm when I've been coming to this place for years knowing they don't close the drive through or stop making food until closing @10 pm and never had an issue even made some friends at this store, they usually also offer me the option of a discount for the food they do still have hot or just have me wait. There was none of that, from the moment I pulled up her exact words were, This is all we have we're closed, I tried to ask her to repeat herself because I had a hard time understanding her, she got short with me and said "DO YOU WANT THE FOOD OR NOT" when I pulled up to the window because she never let me order or talk she pointed at the Sunday store hours on the window sticker showing closed at 930pm and today is Wednesday. Clearly stated Mon-Fri 10am-10pm/Saturday Sunday etc. I'm not mad because she was rude, I'm mad because she works for a company that I'm sure would love to take my money for the food I traveled there for but because she wants to go home early, nobody, not even a paying customer can stop her. Definitely won't be going back there while she is on shift ‍ at least it wasn't a complete waste but I had company over and was only able to get 3 plates for a group of 5 people. Told myself it happens and to let it go like I always do, but this is a problem. read more

Food is good but I can't stand for employees using their cell phones while working. People like to eat in peace and not hear about why their black brother is being hassled. read more

Very clean location, very busy place, probably because the food is so good and the workers are so nice and helpful to the customers. Would recommend to anyone, nice on the wallet and worth the cost. I personally recommend the sweet fire chicken breast! read more

Delicious delicious delicious.!!! I have never been to a Panda Express before. And have heard mediocre things. Apon arriving I was Immediately welcomed by the friendly staff. (Brandon) Shortly after ordering I felt the staff were warm and welcoming. They helped me order. Upon the register the friendly staff asked if I would like to donate my change to charity. I was like "Yeah!!" The best way ever to get people to donate to charity; 5 out of 5 stars. Great job Panda Express read more

The service is horrible. They are rude to say the least. I have visited this place twice and both times I regret. From ordering at the speaker to receiving your food at the window. They are not courteous and need customer service training. read more

The manager here must've told employees to still use orange chicken even tho it was expired.. 2 weeks/ a month expired is "no big deal" apparently because it was once frozen.. Would not suggest eating here, when I tried to report this up the chain.. I found that I'd virtually impossible and was met with rude employees and terrible phone quality/technology? At a certain point these companies need to stop the robot with limited options and let you speak to a human in this country.. Pretty easy to say no more (atleast this location) Panda Express for me or the pregnant wife which sucks.. i feel like it's an easy fix if I could just talk with the next person in the chain since the manager is living in a delusional world. Thanks Panda we'll miss you read more

This is my second time with my family at this location and I just had to write a review. Upon arrival, we are immediately greeted by the friendly staff and although they were busy, they were very professional. The food quality here is amazing and I'm very pleased with this location. We will definitely visit again, soon. read more

This location only had about 2 1/2 stars but I was very impressed! The staff had a good hustle last night and made sure we had everything we wanted. The fold was phenomenal, just the way we like it! The restaurant was well kept up with and clean. I've been wanting to have panda for awhile now and so thankful I was finally able to find a good location. If you are looking for a delicious lunch or dinner, stop here! read more

Love panda express! Definitely try a sample of the entree before committing to it! My wife and I always get half and half fried rice and noodles with Orange chicken (the orange chicken is what they are known for!), honey walnut shrimp, and mushroom chicken! Love eating Chinese food without MSG! read more

They are open till 10 pm every night but if you go after 8 pm they will only have one or two items on the menu available...which is very sad way to run a restaurant. read more

I get the Shanghai Angus steak with rice when I come. I always ask for it crashed and they make it it's season will and juicy. Very tasteful read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

The only did that was good about it was it clean and the chicken/ shrimp. We got noodles and they were cold. We had to wait for 5-10 minutes to get our order taken. Not a good experience for my first time eating at a Panda Express. read more

Rude and disrespectful. They locked the door as my family and I were walking up 1 hour before closing and screamed at us to go to the drive thru. Of course, we did not! Not sure what kind of service we would have gotten. Plenty of other places to choose from, never going back. They probably don't care anyway... read more

I ordered lomein with orange chicken and teriyaki chicken. When I got home I saw I received fried rice and there was teryaki sauce poured all over the orange chicken and the teryaki chicken. I tried to call 7 times and no one answers the phone. I have always received the teryaki sauce in a small container on the side. This is very disappointing as it would take me over a half hour to get back to the store and return home. I would not have left such a terrible review if someone would have just answered the phone and discussed this. Why would I order orange chicken just to have it smothered in teryaki sauce?? read more

Both times we've visited this location they have been out of several main items on their menu including chow Mein, white rice, and orange chicken. They need improvement in planning on how much food they need for the day. The staff is friendly and they do a good job and we're very fast with our order. Just be prepared to be flexible. read more
