This is the "Subway" of Chinese food. You stand in line, tell the employee which items you'd like, they put it in a styrofoam to go container or plate. They put ours in a to go container, though we were eating there. Staff seemed a little overwhelmed, and service was a bit rushed. The guy kept forgetting what we asked for. I ordered walnut honey shrimp, firecracker shrimp, chicken egg roll with sweet sour sauce, 1/2 veggies and 1/2 noodle. The honey shrimp were my favorite! Decent sized shrimp, light batter, and a semi-sweet sauce. I will order this every time! The firecracker shrimp was good too but if I had to choose one, I'd go for the walnut honey shrimp. I really liked the vegetables but wasn't a huge fan of the noodles. They were a tad bit chewy and not very flavorful. I dipped it in the firecracker shrimp sauce. I did not like the egg roll or sweet sour sauce. The egg roll had a weird texture and I'm pretty sure there were noodles inside it. The sauce was so sugary and crazy sweet. I would not order the egg roll, sauce or noodles again. Before we wiped the table down to sit (all the tables needed some cleaning), we stopped at the station that has plastic silverware, napkins and silverware. There were no forks and it was pretty messy. Went up to the counter and it took a few minutes to get someone at the counter to bring out forks. I ordered a soda and ended up drinking water. No one told me the Diet Coke was not working on the soda machine. Two were out of service and all the other options contained auger. So that was a bummer and waste of money. Would have taken way to long to get a refund. I'll eat there again now that I know what I like there. It's a fast food place so the experience was pretty much what a expected. read more

Campus location at UNCW is your better choice for Panda Express in Wilmington. Is inside campus facility and not accessible to public. Bummer!!!!!! read more

The portions are pathetic. My beef & broccoli came with less than 1 square inch of beef. My wife's chicken & string beans came with 1 string bean. Also we were missing our crab rangoon. Did not receive hot mustard. $22 for two incomplete plates made without care. Very bad service read more

I am as exhausted lastnight and didn't feel like cooking dinner or spending a lot on ordering so I drove through Panda. I ordered the two combo plate. Beef with broccoli and chicken with green beans. They said the latter was going to be awhile so I switched to Kung Pao. I ordered the super greens with it. The cashier guy was really professional and nice. I also ordered the veggie spring rolls. Qi pulled over in the parking lot and had a spring roll. It was absolutely flavorless. When I got home I dug into the meal and it was honestly terrible. There was not a lot of meat and the valor tasted like a bad Chinese take out. I remember this place at one time being good and maybe I'm spoiled by eating really great quality Asian food but this was bad. The greens were even gross. read more

One of my favorite places is Panda Express. While visiting my friend we stopped by to pick up lunch. I always get the the teriyaki chicken. Today I added the new Crispy Almond Chicken. I did the Panda Exp review and suggested that they add this as a regular item. It was flavorful and had a good crunch! Alina the manager waited on me and was cheerful and made me feel welcomed. I will stop by this PE when visiting Wilmington. 9/28/21 read more

Panda Express - crispy Almond Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I happen to love Panda Express, however I'm not sure what happened here. The last two times I've came to this location my orders have been wrong. I should know not to drive off until I inspect my bag to see if it's correct. Shame on me for not doing so which has lead to this review. Orders should be correct especially when you can't go in for some reason customers have no choice (Drive thru only) I asked for Beijing Chicken with noodles and all I got was noodles! Seriously. Gas is to high for me to be driving back to say hey this is incorrect. Needless to say I've learned a lesson. Do not drive off until you open every single item you ordered and let the ones behind you know hey do the same before you drive off. The noodles was dry and I'm thinking how is that even possible? So disappointed Aside that the drive thru window employee was bubbly and friendly another star for that otherwise 3.. read more

Panda Express - Ordered Beijing chicken and got just noodles smh - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

This restaurant has very friendly staff, store is always clean and food is always fresh. You can beat the value of their lunch anywhere

I ordered a beef and broccoli bowl tonight and was so disappointed when I got home cause there was only big stocks of broccoli and literally no beef in it. Not at all worth the money I spent, wish I could get it back! read more

The food was fresh and good however the grilled teriyaki chicken was chicken thighs that they chop before serving. The chicken had more fat and bone pieces than meat. read more

Panda Express - Fried Rice, orange chicken, teriyaki grilled chicken with spring roll - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I finally tried out the new spot in town. I hit the drive through at 715 on a Wednesday and didn't get my food until 745. They also ran out of sides and only had brown rice available unless I wanted to wait ten additional minutes for other options. I attribute all this to being a newly opened restaurant. The important part is the food and it was great! I got the famous orange chicken and then also kung pao chicken. The kung pao definitely had spice to it! I will give this place a little more time and go back once they have all the kinks worked out. I feel like it will be a regular spot! read more

I have mixed feelings, the food is usually fresh and taste good with the occasional over done veggies. my problem has always been portion control here, some times I order and I feel like the portions were good while other times I feel totally ripped off. for over $10 a plate portions should be regulated and consistent. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

After all my years going to different Panda Expresses, including this one, this was the worst meal I have had. The broccoli in the broccoli beef was soggy, the kung po chicken was loaded with oil and the chow mein tasted like it had been there all day. read more

While the food was as expected, the service was bad. First, I was told I can't order two items together because that's not what the menu says. Before I turned around and walked out, I was then told that I could but it would be charged differently. Thats fine but why try to argue about it? And then after I pay for the food, she tells me I didn't want a drink after I said something about it TWICE. But the way she wanted to argue every little thing was such a turn off for their customer service. read more

Portions are tiny for the price. Might as well get a bowl for how much you're gonna get with a plate.

I often enjoy the Panda Express. this location is constantly closing their dining room and is drive thru only

Rudest customer service I've seen in a long time. I witnessed them being rude to multiple customers including by myself from what looked to be the manager. Such a shame. read more

I was so excited to eat here because not only was I craving orange chicken but this is the first Panda Express I have seen in this area. When we got here the drive thru was way backed up and inside the line was almost out the door. The service was subpar, 2/5 employees we came into contact with were friendly/happy and the others looked scared/nervous/unhappy to be there or not knowing what they were doing and wanting us to leave already. The lo mein noodles were hard, though they looked 'fresh' and overall it just wasn't the best experience here. I forgot how overly priced it was for the type of food you were getting. If you want something easy but overpriced then this is the place but if you want something better then you need to look elsewhere. I'm hoping that if I try again I'll have a different experience. read more

This place is ghetto!! First the inside to walk in was closed before 9pm so had to go to drive through My order was wrong. I ordered 1/2 rice and 1/2 chow mein and two different chicken orders. And this is what I got all rice and all orange chicken. When drive through was confronted about the problem. I was given a very ghetto attitude the girl in the drive through wouldn't give her name. I was given a small different chicken to replace and chow mein. When my husband was telling the girl the problem. She told him to F off and to f his mother. I was in shock. That's girl didn't know but my husband is going through the death of his mother now and she was very unprofessionally. I don't know who was the manager on duty last night but some people there need to have a job change !! And the girl was laughing when we had to drive back around to talk to them about the missed up order. Very disappointing and unprofessional place and was given a very limited menu when we went to order the first time read more

my family ordered online from panda express on 7.13.20 at approximately 7:45pm. we like the "usual freshness" of their food and we haven't been in a while. long story short, they was an extreme shortage of noodles in our lomein dish. check your pick up order before you leave or you may regret it ! read more

Panda Express - First day open! - Chinese Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I'm a long time Panda Express fan but this location was not ready for the crowd it currently is serving. Drive thru wait is 30 min and there's a line out the door. I mean how hard is it to scoop orange chicken and rice onto a plate? Hire more staff or more efficient ones at least Checking back in, lines have gotten longer. Need to speed up drive thru line. Add a forward-facing menu to start. And hire more efficient workers! read more

Good food and for a good value. I placed a mobile order and it was ready before quoted time and was delicious with a heaping of food!

I went there 2 times at Lunch time At Wilmington NC . Me and my Wife will Keep going. We loved it.

It's like average food-cheap Chinese-so I'll eat it. But the employees are absolutely awful. Everyone sitting around on their phone. I went in at about 9:00 and was told they could not sell me any orange chicken because they had to "save it for online orders." In reality sounds like they were just too lazy to make more. How are you going to tell a paying customer standing right in front of you no, so that a customer that you COULD get can get the food over them. It was the worst experience I have had at a restaurant. When I asked to speak to a manager he was sitting at a table in the dining room with about 4 other employees and was no help. Don't recommend this location. read more

I decided to give this new Panda Express a shot during my lunch break today. I ordered online and it said it would be ready around 12:40. I had to wait about 20 minutes. At 1:00pm the order was finally ready. With the option to order online , waiting an additional 20 minutes for a takeout order that should have been ready beforehand should not be acceptable. In addition to that,the Beijing beef that I ordered was overly fried where you can actually taste that it was burnt. Food was not that good. I will probably not be going back again. The experience was horrible. read more

I would highly recommend eating here if you like paying full price for toddler sized portions. This is a chain and I've had it in other states before so I knew what to expect taste wise. read more

I understand this is a newer location but the manager should be aware of our First experience visiting this location today. The chow mein was significantly under cooked, every empty table was dirty including trash on the floors and chairs as well as all the trash cans overflowing. read more

Not impressed and this is the oddest Panda Express ever! I'm orginally from California and there is literally a Panda Expresson on every corner so I know how its suppose to be. Anyways I ordered from the drive thru and ordered THE PLATE, ok when I tell you my plate look so empty and sad, basically I was stil hungry afterwards and got myself a bowl of pho, then I told my friend about it, she said she walked in and ordered from the inside and her plate was so full she couldnt finish it. Ummm...only Panda Express in Wilmington well...damn thats just sad. Hopefully they will improve over time. read more

Initially the service and food were great, but I'm dissapointed to say when I was about finished with my meal and what I thought was a pepper, ended up being some kind of roach/water bug. Unfortunately I won't be coming back and I urge others to check their food! read more

When I lived in LA, Panda Express was a frequent stop gor me. Good sized portions always welcome! I was thrilled when one opened here. So one of the first weekends after stay at home orders, I went to the drive thru. I went to the window to pay I attempted to tip the window server with money sanitized and in a plastic bag. She yold me "we are not allowed yo take tips." I was told yo pull up front to wait for my order, so I did. A half hour later...no food. I went in and there was chaos. One poor chef was doing his best. Ten minutes later my food was brought to me as I waited inside. I got home, opened the container...tiny portions! I was very disappointed. It will be a while before I return. read more

The service is soooooooo slow! Spent a good 15min.standing in line, then the girl could barely speak up or make eye contact!

Yummy. The orange chicken, white rice, and the honey walnut shrimp were wonderful. Very affordable and the portions are pretty big. Fast and friendly service and I will definitely return for their chow Mein bowls. read more
