It took over twenty minutes in the drive thru to get two plates of orange chicken and some damn chow mein. HOW!? How could it take that long for some fast food!? I had to get out of my truck to check the window and they were shocked to see me. Girl was like "we're good, we got it. How can I help you?" Homie help yourself! How tf can yall be so bad at fast food!? If you can't serve some chow mein in a box then time to rethink your lives. Never coming back and if you're thinking of going here DONT DO IT. Staff is a bunch of bozos!! read more

Panda Express - Plate - Chinese Near Me - Richland, Washington

The teriyaki chicken seemed to be boiled, undercooked chow mein, small portions, this was by far the worst panda I have ever been to. Visited 4pm 5/19/25. How can the food taste like it has been sitting out all afternoon when there is a line in the driveway. read more

05-31-2025 at around 10:40am - 11:00am the cashier girl Alma was giving the worst customer service and had a moody attitude. On top of that, when she called my name to pick up my food of 2 orders and spring rolls, she didn't even give me a bag and I even said thanks and she just looked at me and walked away. The 2 orders she gave me were completely wrong as well. She gave me the wrong order. People like this should look for another job if dealing with people is not their thing. read more

Eduardo and the team were wonderful. I ordered an item that was on the national menu (Protein Plus). The team made the extra effort to put it together! Two additional team members checked on us while waiting. Did you know that offers pup cups? read more

Consistent quality of food and service however one time a server in the drive thru complained that my friend gave him "too much money" because he gave him like 20 something dollars in ones. read more

Messed up my order and someone's order, then told us to come back tomorrow for a replacement order but they were rude

Griffin was so accommodating and helpful last night. We rarely get take out but our dinner became a disaster at home and so we were desperate for take out. I went here and the inside was closed but the drive thru was open. I went up to the window and Griffin was so kind and understanding. He definitely made my night!!!! read more

Excellent taste orange chicken with greens, cheaper that others. Why do I have to type 85 characters? Lol

I Truly enjoy the food from Panda Express, however the service can improve. I rarely go into the restaurant to eat anymore because of how busy it is. Today I placed my order online, got a notification and proceeded to pick it up. After waiting approximately 15 minutes, I was told my order didn't appear in their system. I provided my verification email and the text i received to be told my order wasn't there. I asked for a refund and was told they couldn't do that because the order didn't appear on their end. Making it seem as if I was lying about my order. The gal came back out and stated she needed my entire order #. And of course I'm still waiting while a person "with a higher status" checked on the order. Once he was able to verify I placed the order, he sent the gal back out and she stated someone else had taken my order. Even more frustrating is the fact that every time I order online they ask me for verification (text/email) but allowed someone else to walk out with an entire family meal! Needless to say after a very long wait, I was able to get my order. The whole experience was frustrating. read more

So employee try telling me that he didn't have any chance to give me back and he was going to keep it, I told him no and then I'll give me exact change then, so in return he gave me my food sideways dumping everything read more

4.5 stars decided to round up Ordered A plate with The original Orange Chicken, and Beef and Broccoli with Veggies on the side with a Dr.Pepper. Chicken was sooo crispy the broccoli was crisp but cooked well! The Soda syrup was low so it was really worth drinking but i was truthfully blown away how good it was! I tend to cook "chinese food" at home because most restaurants cant get it right this was delicious! Will come back again read more

I ordered an orange chicken bowl with fried rice and they gave me the wrong order which is okay, I understand that people make mistakes. So I went back to get my order and they gave me undercooked rice along with 2 burnt egg rolls. I'm not normally one to complain but this rice crunched when I ate it and the egg roll tasted like it had been scorched by hellfire. I would not recommend this location unfortunately. read more

This place is a mess! The food is good, but everything else is wildly below the normal Panda Expeess standard! The drive-through menu looks trashed like it's been vandalized and unused for years. The service is highly unprofessional and very un-accommodating. The speaker at the drive through order area abruptly switched persons in between reciting back our order, and didn't even recite our order back correctly. They didn't have steamed veggies and said we would need to wait, so I asked if they could substitute another vegetable dish instead and they could not. Maybe it's something with their system that renders them unable to be flexible with this, but otherwise a place with good customer service would make it happen. The workers were friendly, but whoever's training or overseeing them needs to step up their game. I've never been so appalled at a Panda Express before. read more

Panda Express - What is happening?! Menu is trashed! - Chinese Near Me - Richland, Washington

Ordered at the drive thru, got to the window and the guy tries to hand me the styrofoam "dine-in" container with noodles hanging out of it and sauces leaking down the sides through the window. I said "bag please" and he looked frustrated and told me I was supposed to ask for a bag when ordering! I told him " I am in a drive through, why would I NOT want a bag?" The order was also wrong and he said he would bring it out if I would park and wait. Minutes later, out comes a different person with my meal on a tray (still no bag and order still wrong). I saw another employee trying to hand another drive through customer the same "no bag" container. Do they really expect people to just set those containers on their seat and take off now? I really hope they re-think this absurd new policy. read more

I had to wait wait for my food to get done all I ask was to at least have the soda that I ordered for my wife to be made the same time as the food so that the ice would not be melted be for I got home. This was not a big ask for the time that i have to wait. read more

This place is my son's favorite place to eat and this is the location I go to the most. There has a been a couple times when they got my order wrong but they always make right. Today, they thought they were out of any extra veggies so initially, I was disappointed because I feel like I really need my veggies today but that manager, he took another look in the walk-in and found some broccoli. Even if I didn't get my veggies, I'd still give them five stars. The employees are always kind and their food is decent. Thank you!! I'll be going there again and again! read more

Panda Express - Veggies with mushroom chicken and teriyaki chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Richland, Washington

This Panda used to be my go to, but the last few months have just led to one horrible experience after another. I get that their job is high tasking and stressful, but they also get paid enough to make up for that work. So, the down attitudes (even at open, in the morning, wow...) aren't appreciated. Beyond that, the food will have a 50/50 chance at being edible and good, warm... and I'd say like a 70/30 chance they get your order right. I've gotten completely wrong plates that I didn't pay for, and also they SUCK AT PORTIONING here. 50/50 super green and chow mein comes out to 80/20 chow mein. I want my greens dudes! Inside dining is always stupid loud, you can't even focus. Beyond that, there is ALWAYS SOME food item unavailable, OR I have to wait anywhere from 5-7 min in the parking lot. They've actually done this to me and then completely forgot about my food so I sat in my car for like 15 minutes. Today I came in and after they opened, 10:07 am they didn't have any honey walnut, no sizzling shrimp, no super greens and a few other items missing. So my question, what are they doing BEFORE they open? Messing around? Because, food should be ready at open. You don't come to Starbucks and hear, "Oh we actually haven't made the mocha for your drink so you'll have to wait 5-7 minutes for that!" Ridiculous. Respect peoples time! 30 minutes after they opened they finally had food available. So I had to sit around for that whole time. Not worth the trouble anymore. Cook some of this delish food at your house (it's pretty easy and wayyy healthier) until they stop acting less then serviceable. :) read more

Food is alright, do not buy a fountain drink. There isn't ever any ice and the soda will come out as foam and won't ever actually fill up. Go to a different location or family owned Chinese cuisine. read more

I'll start off with the fact that I found a dead insect in the steamed rice, so that was wonderful. That put a hard stop to eating the food, so only getting a few pieces of orange chicken didn't end up making a difference. And as a nice topper my drink was only about half filled and the person in the window was kinda rude about it. What the heck is the deal here? I get that it's crazy times because of the pandemic but there's no excuse for having bugs in the food and the crap quality of the experience overall. I will never go here again and will definitely be telling anyone who will listen about my experience today. read more

This location has been consistent, excellent panda food. It's my kids' favorite fast food so we eat here at least once a month. We've only had one incorrect order in the last year. The online order / pickup since covid has been excellent. read more

Lmao I seriously waited in the parking lot for 10mins for some Rangoon's and they didn't even put them In the bag , by the time o got home I had no energy to go back , that's insane . read more

Terrible customer service made me feel stupid for even ordering people were rushing me I didn't even get to finish my order and there was nobody behind me even. good food but man that just ruined my night for no reason and I never leave reviews yall just hurt my feelings fr cried bc I felt so dumb work on ur customer service fr read more

I dont know why there are so many negative posts on this site. Sometimes i wonder if its even about the food at all. my experience has been great every single time. The portion sizes are always plentiful and even when something is not available they cook it to order. Drive thru for Panda is perhaps the fastest drive thru in all of Washington state for all the Pandas. All in all a great choice for fast food Chinese-American. read more

This is getting pathetic, every time. Something is wrong. I don't understand how this is happening, I worked for panda for 3 years and never have I ever seen such failure in a workplace, every time the food is wrong. Today ordered Rice and teriyaki bowl, and a chow mein black pepper bowl, and a small side of The new steak entree. the 2nd bowl came out with white rice instead and the premium entree I paid extra for was Beijing beef. I'm seriously considering never coming back. It's getting to the point where I believe the workers are doing this on purpose, the old manager may and Abel were so nice before, I wonder if they're still there, something must be wrong because the FOH is always messing stuff up, when I ask for chili sauce I get 1 packet for 2 plates, like really? I wish I could give 0 stars read more

This is a good Panda Express location. Some might think a place isn't good if the workers there aren't always chipper and smiling but I disagree for a place like this. Those cooks and servers work their butts off near those hot, muggy ovens and warming plates to keep their large menu stocked allll day. I've never had them tell me they don't have something I wanted and nothing ever looks or tastes like it's been sitting there for too long. I'm always impressed by how clean the kitchen is considering the massive amount they're constantly cooking back there, too. I went once went through the drive-thru about 10 minutes before closing time, and my friend had absolutely no clue what he wanted so we had to walk in instead. The staff didn't seem passive aggressive at all about the fact we were in there when they had to start cleaning up for the night. And the food was as fresh as it's ever been. read more

After waiting 7mins in drive thru, had to wait 4 minutes out front for my order which consisted of two things and was a total of about 9 bucks. Really panda! The employees were polite. read more

Panda Express - Does this look like enough sauce to you? Why bother putting it in the bag :( - Chinese Near Me - Richland, Washington

I don't recommend coming here at all. The food was barely warm. I was eating my honey walnut shrimp and I found a piece of raw chicken in it. Very disappointed as I normally love Panda Express. read more

I went and ordered a plate and the egg roll and veggie spring rolls and then when I paid I noticed the rolls weren't inside, I asked if I could get them because I didn't see them and with an attitude like I should've known already how they work she told me "they're in there" so I said no I don't see them and again same tone, "in the container" and now I get home just to see the attitude was for not reason because I don't have my rolls in the container. I don't care so much the missing food more the attitude. So unprofessional and then to be wrong.. read more

This is a continuous problem. They are sold out of majority of things that people would regularly want. If I'm gonna spend $20 to feed one person I'm gonna get what I fucking want. This is fucking ridiculous stop hiring dip shits to do a job they don't know what the fuck they're doing if your job is to order food for a restaurant know how many people are buying and know how Long your supplies will last that's your only job so I suggest you figure it out or your store is gonna close and you won't have one read more

Hours are wrong on google and yelp. Says they are open until 10:00 but they closed at 9:30.

Is it that hard to have a smile on your face when you open the drive thru window, and at least say thank you? Apparently it's hard to put in the correct sauce packages too because it happens 8 out of 10 times. If you hate your job that much get a different one. read more

This is the place to go if you like to be ignored by people not really doing anything. I love panda but this location sucks And why be open at 10:30 if there's no food ready? read more

Panda Express - Burned Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Richland, Washington

Food portions were good, taste was good. Three stars cause toilets were both clogged and not working.

This Panda Express needs to up their game. In the past they were great but it's been getting worse and worse over time. They have inconsistent portion sizes, usually on small side (my husband had 5 slices of chicken teriyaki in his order, a half serving from our past Panda expirences.) Noodles were just thrown in our To-go box so that they covered the entire bottom of the box with the skimpy serving of the two entrees on top. It made me wonder if Panda Express had reduced their portion sizes all around. Then my husband went to the Panda Express in Pasco off of Rd 68 about a week later. He said they did a much better job at that location. The noodles and entrees were in their correct spots, not mixed together, and the portion sizes were noticibly larger. So, now its confirmed to my husband and I, that portion sizes haven't changed. The quality at the Richland Panda Express is slipping, and you won't get a consistent meal here. Something needs to change at this location, for now we'll pass. read more

One of my favorite places to go in Tri-Cities but my goodness is the staff absent minded. I get the wrong order almost every other time in the drive through, sometimes not even close to what I ordered! But I like their food so I'm the fool! read more

I just went to the drive through And first of all they messed up my order I wanted to go back but I was so hungry and my family as well. when I got home and started eating my son found 2 long hairs in his food and 1 small black hair ! That just gross out my entire family and no one ate their food like who would ! they also didn't give my kids their 2 kids meal cookies I called right away to speak with the manager , he said that was weird because the people working right now was only males! Like really ! The person that took my order in line was a fricken female ! Now if she only taking orders or she cook or never did or I don't give a dam the thing is I found hairs and that's already fricken gross Pretty much he called me a liar , I clearly said I don't care if it's drive thru just because it's drive thru and I'm taking my friken food home don't mean I'm lying ! I clearly told him I can take the food with the hairs right now ! It was all wrap up way in there ugh gross He said no I'm guessing cos Covid what ever but I don't care I'll take the food , I am very pissed off he was being all rude and telling me I am liar! This supposedly manager has no ethics and does not know how to be a manager and does not use his common sense ! And does not know how to treat costumers , it's sad how panda hires people like this that can't even fake being nice at least because they are getting paid ! This place needs new manager please or close this place down ! Won't be coming back and I hope everyone else doesn't either I wish I could give this place 0 stars Gross read more

Panda is one of our go to restaurants - a family favorite and great for an easy date night. This location is my favorite in the Tri. But, for the love of God, chow mein should not be more than 50% cabbage. I love vegitables in my noodles but this is ridiculous. Filling out the online survey on the back of the receipt gets you a free entre! read more
