Great service, the employees were great. But the food was eh? Impressed with the employees but that's about it

Extremely close to hotel. Really busy. Ordered on the app. Service was very slow. Long lines waiting. Employees never lost their cool. Each customer was waited on quickly as possible. Food was delicious and fresh. Hats off to the staff. Reasonably priced. read more

Panda Express - absolutely the best chow mein and string bean chicken - Chinese Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

It's Panda Express. Quick and fast Chinese food. The drive thru was efficient and the food was good! I ordered the honey sesame chicken bowl with rice. I would definitely go back to this Panda Express if in the area! read more

I went here one night and Landon was such a great help. He was very polite, respectful, and accommodating. He made sure we had absolutely everything we needed while doing so in a timely fashion. Great to see a young man taking pride in his work and how he carries himself. read more

For the past 4 years I eat here at least twice a month. Every single time I go through the drive through they park me for 20 minutes and forget part of my order. read more

Panda Express typically has consistently good, quick Chinese food. This location typically lives up to the same quality as other locations but fails miserably when it comes to speed. Combine that will still locking people out of the dining room (I guess COVID is still only a thing here) and it makes for an experience I'd highly recommend avoiding. We placed out order online and still waited in the drive through for over 45 minutes. read more

Panda Express - Panda Express building - Chinese Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Food is always good and fresh. BUTT the portions have been seriously reduced. Looks like about 50% less. When I previously walked out, I was full. BUT, the last couple of times, I walked out hungry. read more

It's a chain restaurant, so you kinda know what to expect going in. I have had some issues with other Panda locations during Covid and this was my first time back in about 8 or 9 months. However, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality and quality of service. The line was a little slower than typical (pre-Covid) but I was so happy with the taste, temp, and availability of what I wanted that I was willing to overlook the line speed. Go check this location out! They are doing good work! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Unlike literally every other Panda Express in our corner of the state, this one will not let you sample new items... the food that we did get was pretty good though. There was a regular customer, a Cane's employee... he came to get food, then conversed with a Panda employee. Dude was yelling to the employee, they seemed to be friends, but the employee didn't ask him to chilll and not be soo loud. The young lady serving food and checking people out had an attitude that left a lot to be desired... she did her job efficiently, but not very friendly. read more

The conscience of this location when I'm working my route . The food is usually tasty as well .

Me and my mom went to Panda Express, My mom did not want to go inside so we went to the drive through and this young lady said something very disrespectful to mother. My mom added a water bottle to the order but the young lady had an attitude and said the total is still 9.53 (which was the total when we added the water bottle). If you could Panda Express please fix this problem or I am sueing. read more

This food wasn't amazing, I order the broccoli and steak, literally revived all broccoli, the chow main was straight cabbage... I was highly disappointed. read more

Broccoli was overcooked and hard to chew. Service was good. Food was too salty. Tables were dirty. Nice decore. No outlets to charge your phone. read more

If you don't have time to cook or in mood for fast casual Asian/American food. This is your place. I'm happy they have one in the area but kinda of a drive for me tho. But if you are in the area, well worth it. They well know for their famous orange chicken. Or at least what people tell me. I have tried it here and a must if you don't know what to get. Freshly made food and hot. It doesn't taste like it's been there for a long time. It is not a big place to dine-in but if you have a large party. You can definitely take-out or they have drive-thru. They offer both tables and booths seating. Recommend the tables with chairs since they have padding. Bench seats look comfortable but not padding on them. And they have few beach seating. The rest are tables or community seating. Unfortunately they don't have sweet tea on tap but do have bottles tho and other bottled drinks. Only thing on tap is sodas, so I opted for Barq's root beer and Dr. Pepper. Ordered the lo mein noodles since they just brought it out. (Have fried and steam white rice), orange chicken, Beijing beef, and walnut shrimp. Both are excellent! Free WiFi and super friendly staff. A must you are in the area and craving Asian type of food. Understand it is not authentic Asian food but close you are going to get fast casual food on the go. Chopsticks offered if you are up to the challenge. Otherwise they have plastic forks too. No mask required but the staff was wearing them when we went. read more

See all

When your wanting quick and fast Chinese food but still pretty darn good this is a good place to come! My favorite menu item is the sweet fire chicken breast, you get that sweet, but not overpowering sweetness with peppers ( it say's spicy on it, but I'm not one for SPICE and this one is not spicy), it's delicious & It's the best served with white rice! Yum! If they are out of that one my next choice would have to be honey chicken breast, I want to try the Black pepper chicken eventually! Whatever you do though don't get the "Crispy Almond chicken breast "! It's nasty, I was very disappointed with this one! You can never go wrong with pairing it with white rice! read more

When Panda Express was being built here people were soooo excited. I had never eaten at a Panda Express so I kind of started to get excited too. They kept saying, "it's cheap Chinese fast food and its good!!!". Yeah. They were full of crap. It is not good. Not good at all. I went once and it wasn't good. It was bad. So I was all like...surely that was an off day or something, because all of my Slidell peeps wouldn't steer me wrong, right? Right? Wrong. I went again. And it was bad. So. In summary, it is not good. I would stay away if I were you. You're welcome. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Disappointed in my order. And previous orders. The noodles entree is filled with cabbage. You barely get any noodles. I ordered double noodles this time... and it was mostly cabbage. Also I didn't receive any fortune cookies with my order. Ugh. read more

I ordered a bowl with white rice and orange chicken. Ate a few bites to find out that the chicken wasn't cooked. It still was red in the inside. And I happen to look in the bowl more to only find a long black hair read more

Very slow taking orders and getting food. Spent 30 mins in line to get the completely wrong order. No excuse for this.

Very fast friendly service and delicious hot fresh food! It was one of the BEST Panda express Ive been too so far! My husband and I enjoyed it very much! Thanks! I forgot to take pics before we ate! we are in a hotel near by. read more

My last three experiences at Panda Express in Slidell Louisiana has been awful. The first time there was nothing but onions in the chow mein. I figured it was probably the bottom of the serving Wok and I let it go. The second time I went it was extremely dry and again most white onions. Tonight I went and it has so many raw onions in it that my entire car was smelling nothing but raw onions. When I opened up the container you couldn't even see any noodles there were so many onions. I don't think I'll be going to Panda Express again especially the one in Slidell read more

Panda Express - This is the chow mein you can't even find Noodles it was nothing but raw onions and smelled horrible - Chinese Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

The food was hot and fresh and the worker was very personable. We were going to go to the chicken finger place next door but we prefer to eat food with vegetables so this was perfect. I like how you can do half and half with your rice, noodles or vegetables. read more

Panda Express - My leftovers...I always get two meals out of the two entree plate. - Chinese Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

The fried rice tastes like white rice with no seasoning. Shrimp and sesame chicken was descent. It was ok in a rush.

Very very good, clean, always the same consistency, so friendly and super fast. Food is always hot!

At first while ordering they did not have honey sesame chicken which was completely understandable but then they did not have soy sauce which left me puzzled because what Chinese restaurant does not have soy sauce? My dad had ordered the orange chicken and it had many chewy parts and it included a long blonde/gray hair which made him choke and gag, my family has brunette hair. We will NEVER be eating in Slidell again because of how bad this overall service was. read more

Friendly staff, but if your looking for a place to eat and be cool in doing so during the summer it is not the place to go (No A/C)! It was actually cooler outside at 90 degrees! Also, the noodles were soggy :( read more

I wish I could give 10 NEGATIVE. Stars. Don't visit here. This was my FIRST & LAST time to eat here. 9 People behind the line. 15 people waiting to be served. Our plates sat on the side of their buffet line 13 minutes after being plated before it was put on a tray. 4 people reached across my plate to get something. Eww. While tasting our food 3 employees placed their order for Raising Canes. AND BROUGHT IT IN THE RESTAURANT AND ATE IT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!! If the employees won't eat here...WTH?? HUGE WASTE OF MONEY! #PANDAEXPRESS read more

One of the best Panda Express' that I've been to. Javen at the front counter was especially courteous and made our experience that much better. It's also very clean which is always much appreciated. We'll be back! Thanks Javen! read more

The best customer service I've ever had. The girl who took my order, Taylor, was so nice and made sure everything was perfect. If she hasn't already I'd give her a raise. read more

Good food, The recipes are not the same than last time I eat a king pao in a Panda Express, but I wasn't disappointed read more

This place has the slowest service. Do not go here if you are on your lunch break. Not sure what the employees are doing if it takes 20 min in a drive thru with only three cars in it. Never again. read more

4th complaint in a few months. Each time is either lacking the food you order, out of the food you want or poor customer service. Don't go to Panda if you are within 1-2 hours till closing. They shut down the kitchen and anyone in drive-thru your choices are whatever is left before down the drain. last night 3/23/21 at 8:15 (they close at 9pm). 4 items I wanted out. I asked if they can make fresh and I will be glad to wait - nope. (Orange Chicken, Beijing beef, honey walnut shrimp, not even an eggroll laying around) Got my kitchen sink of crap thru drive thru and extremely poor customer service. Panda West coast has always been good. Local ownership here - POOR operation. DO NOT EAT/ORDER here in Slidell, LA Disappointed every time. And I don't need a lame $10 'try us gain certificate', just run your operation and service better read more

Don't expect to get your order delivered if the app is down because the manager isn't capable of resetting the server.

The chicken string bean tastes a little weird. The workers are nice. But We waited for 25 mins for our food (drive thru).

I have never been so disrespected in my life. It's a long story... I recently moved into a new office and it's been taking me sometime to get the office situated how I like it. So, I left the office, calling my mother who stated she hadn't eaten today so I ordered her supper and was given a time to pick it up. My husband and I decided on Panda instead. I went to Slidells Panda Express and went in the drive thru since I was in a hurry. The girl tells me one of the things I chose was delayed for about 8-10 min so I said no, I'm in a hurry and chose something else. I drive up to the window and after I paid she tells me to drive around to the front and park and as soon as it's ready she will bring it out to me. I asked her what was the delay and she said she was plating it now, so I drove to the front and parked..and waited. After about 10 min, I walked inside with my receipt and asked the manager how much longer, what was the delay. She says it's the teriyaki chicken, it's almost ready. I said no, I need a refund, I can't wait. The manager says she will have to call her manager before she can do that and disappears with her cell phone. Approximately 10 min later she comes to the register and tells me this is the last time she can give me a refund, that since I like to get refunds from them, I must not like their food so don't come back! I said wait what? I haven't even received my food yet and I can't wait...what are you talking about? She then proceeded to verbally abuse me, interrupting me when I was just trying to figure what was going on and she called another worker over to the register, I guess to witness the refund. This guy, Terry then joins in the melee. I told the manager I don't care what you write on it but I want my receipt back and with a smirk she says oh you can have a back, do you want me to give you the customer care number? I told her she was a horrible manager and Terry began telling me to leave also. As I'm walking to the door Terry continued to act up ... go, leave, we don't want you here.... I was so ANGRY, I immediately called corporate and reported Liz the Slidell manager and her sidekick Terry for verbally abusing me and the unprofessional behavior. I guess ill have to wait and see whats done...Btw, the reason I asked for a refund during another visit was because I found metal shavings in my chicken! Since then I have received a mass produced apology that was emailed to me. Really? Do they think this is sufficient? read more

Piss poor service!! Sit in the drive through window over 10 min with no response. I pull up to the window and ask if there speaker is broke or something they say no and can't take my order at the window. By then there is already a line . I work local and they just lost my business for good. 11/27/2020. 12:15 read more

The man cooking in the kitchen, while obviously very busy, turned to welcome us anyway. The lady working the counter/window was very polite, friendly and patient with all of our questions & sample requests. The meal was great & we felt appreciated by the military discount you offer!!! read more

I was staying at a motel in Slidell and passed by the Panda Express several times. I had never tried it before now, so I wanted to give it a shot. No. I decided to get a panda bowl. I ordered the Mandarin Chicken which was a huge mistake. It was extremely grisly and had tons of fat, more fat than actual meat. I ended up throwing away half of the chicken. I got the chow mein as my side, and it was mediocre. It was very oily, and didn't have a great flavor. I know I should have known better because it's fast food, but for 5 bucks and some change, I expected a little bit more. :/ read more

I have to say that my experience at Panda has been quite different than the others commenting here, although they are from quite a while back. About 2 years or so ago they completely changed staff and management of the location. I regular (2 to 3 times a week) stop in on the way home. You really cannot go wrong with any of the choices, but I really like the Orange Chicken with Bacon; however, it only available at certain times of the year. I like the Black Pepper Chicken as well, and it is my other go-to choice. The food is always fresh and if there is none of what you want out; they can prepare it in only a few minutes, and the quantity of what you get for the price is very good. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Keep in mind that like almost all Chinese places in the U.S., this is American style Chinese food, not like what you will find in Chengdu, Dazhai, or even Beijing. If you have not stopped in lately I recommend that you give it a try. read more
