Just walked in for the first time at the Boardman location, never been to one before. I even said that to the lady , she was very helpful on how to order there except for mentioning you might burn your mouth off if your not a fan of super spicy food. I wished she would of said that, but of course I could have paid better attention because I ordered the orange chicken it was way to spicy/hot for me, this stuff made my mouth on fire! The lady at the counter was so nice and offered me something else. I think they need to tell the manager when something like this happens but I'm sure the employee could of handled the situation. I decided on the string bean chicken. It was okay but not great, I got this with lo mein noodles which were dry, but the sauce from the chicken helped. I also tried a chicken egg roll, realized that wasn't for me either. The service was exceptional, and the restaurant seemed very clean. Thank goodness for the wonder woman behind the counter! I wish I would of got her name! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Absolutely disgusting and not worth the money. I ordered a bowl with sesame chicken and super greens. There were 5 small pieces of chicken on top of "super greens" that looked like they were pulled from someone's compost pile. It tasted like it too. Would not recommend. read more

My wife and I love Panda Express! Wonderful food, very clean restaurant, friendly and helpful staff. What more could you ask for? Lately, we have been going to eat here once a week, it's that good! My favorite entrees are a plate of the Orange Chicken and the Beijing Beef. My wife loves a bowl of the Super Greens with Broccoli Beef. Great stuff! read more

I was super excited to try this place, as I had never been to a Panda Express before. However, it really didn't live up to my expectations. The atmosphere is pretty nice inside. It's clean and there's a lot of seating options. I waited for a while in line, to find out over half way through that they were out of pretty standard items, which was frustrating. The food was alright. I got the Orange Chicken and Fried Rice Panda Bowl. It was good but a little dry and lacking on taste. For the portions and quality of food you receive here, I feel like it's a bit overpriced. Overall, the Panda Express really wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I might be willing to try something else here in the future, but haven't felt the need to go back yet. read more

Everything about this place is great! The service, food, the staff, all so lovely! Would recommend to anybody! They also do so much for the community! read more

Went there a few minutes ago and got a plate. Only writing a review to acknowledge that whoever the man working the window today first shift was very naturally nice, personable, and respectful. The food was good but most of the time I know what I'm getting from the food at fast food joints, the people always make my experiences, and he was able to make mine today. Good people are hard to find Panda! read more

The food was good, we ordered on the app and when we went in to pick it up it took 5 minutes for anyone to even ask us what we needed (they weren't busy) we got home and we were missing an item and our one order was completely wrong. Just frustrating when your hungry and expecting certain food. read more

I may not be surprised, but I am disappointed that there is no longer beyond chicken on the menu. I will not be visiting this establishment nor any others- as this is just a reflection of the policy that incubated aforementioned shitty "experience" I received at another location. Basically I got off work and they took my money (it was a Sunday, some banking error) and didn't give me any food, then called the cops when I got angry?! (In cranberry) I had no gas as I had been "driving" for Uber at the time. read more

No shrimp fried rice. Only vegetable fried rice. Very little vegetables basically fried rice. No shrimp eggroll. Only chicken eggroll and it was terrible! I'll never go back read more

My dad has always loved Panda Express, and my husband and I had never been here, so we decided to try it for lunch. Restaurant is nice and clean. We arrived early for lunch, it was only 11:30. Our rice was so dry that my husband started choking and had to go to the restroom, because he was coughing so much and thought he was bothering other guests. When he came out, he added soy sauce to his rice, but it didn't help at all and he was afraid of choking again, so we threw the remaining food away and went across the street to Primanti Bro's. read more

Tough call on what to rate them 1 1/2 would maybe be the best if I could do it. I had never been to a Panda Express before so was excited to try them out. I've not found a place that I like for takeout Chinese for lunch so gave them a shot today. I got the beef with broccoli, black peppered chicken and a side of fried rice. The beef, as others mentioned, was somewhat spongy but tasted ok and the broccoli was nice and crunchy. The chicken on the other hand, was almost inedible it had so much salt - it really should be called salt-chicken rather than black pepper chicken as I could not taste the pepper at all. Rice was meh and tasted like it had been in a warmer for some time. In spite of this, I would have given them a two star rating but as I went through the drive-thru I looked in to see one of the girls take off her hat, redo the bun in her hair then shake her hat out before putting it back on. This would not be an issue except she was standing right by the woks were they do the cooking. There was no food in them at the time but I doubt they'll be wiped out before they are used. I'm choosing to believe my food was ok as I didn't have time to go elsewhere. read more

we finally were able to try his location without a long line out the door. I got the Brown rice with peppered chicken and general tso's. my peppered chicken was cold, not just a little but a lot cold, my general tso was a bit warmer but still cold. I can't understand with this level of business and money flowing through the door how their items can be cold. I also am a not able to understand how they charge the prices they do for the portion sizes. My rice was inedible this has only happened to me once before at a mexican place we went to this summer. I am strongly against chewing crunchy rice no matter how much stuff I put on it in a effort to flavor it. Nasty We got a egg roll for 1.80 cents not worth it. we got two orders of cream cheese ragon-3 for 1.90 not worth it at any level. Jennifer got some beef that she said was good but that was for an upcharge. we also got charged for 3 drinks and only ordered two. Their drink (soda) selection was limited and they were out of some of the options. For a new location their staff was undertrained in both food prep and customer service. Plus my efforts to ask the staff questions (since we have never been to this location) were fruitless and they had no clue. we spent around 32 dollars for our food. I can spend this money at many other locations and get higher quality, larger portions, and quality service. Mr franchise operator look at this location and make some improvements. This review should be a one but I will be nice since you are new. read more

I'm from northern CA and have been a Panda Express fan for a long time. Because I traveled extensively in CA in pursuit of my work, I've had the opportunity to eat in PEs throughout the State. The food at each PE was consistently excellent wherever I ate. This was not the case at this PE. The food was mediocre in taste, the portions were small and (to make matters worse) my favorite noodle dish (chow mein) was made with a pancet-like noodle instead of a real pancet boodle. My wife, who is a big fan of fried rice, poo-pooed hers as soon as she took her first bite! We had a two egg rolls w/ our meals and they were also cold, tough and tasteless. Scheeze. I don't know what to think other than what a disappointment. Please PE franchiser, send a few of your people to CA for a week for training on how preparing great Asian food is done. read more

I was so happy to see Panda express open when we ran to Boardman to do some quick shopping that I just could not help but squeal. And then i drug my sister to lunch -- good thing she likes Chinese! I had the 3 item plate and she had the 1 item bowl. I chose the Walnut Shrimp, Chicken with Mushrooms and Teriyaki chicken, fried rice, cream cheese rangoon and a Pop. She had Orange Chicken with white rice and cream cheese rangoon and a pop. I love the walnut Shrimp so much. It has such a good sauce on it i think next time Ill do a double of it. The chicken and mushroom was ok. A little to mushy for me. The teriyaki chicken was really food though and I will def do it again. My sister loved hers and cannot wait to go back again. We decided next time no rangoon, They were greasy and not a good flavor. But other than that it was excellent! read more

Very clean restaurant and restrooms. However, the food was not good. Small servings. Didn't even finish. It tasted gummy and dry. The cook should probably be aware that we could see everything she does. read more

Worst chinese i ever had . Teriyaki chicken was so dry it gagged me . Going down rice was also very dry and pieces of of itwere so hard i thought it was plastic. And the broccoli was raw it was so hard.. never again. Waste of money.. had to toss it in trash. read more

Probably the crapiest one I've been to EVER the girl who took my order was rude as hell. Then they screwed up my order so bad no chow mein nor the right sides. I have to drive 40 minutes to get food here and NEVER again. I've worked fast food before and good lord they shouldn't be working. Orange chicken was so burnt my dog wouldn't eat it read more

They forgot to give me one of my bags on a pick up order. They called me and told me this on my way home to East Palestine. Once I got home I called and verified that they did forget a bag. Manager drove to East Palestine and made the delivery. Much appreciated, good customer service and food is good to. read more

Nothing has flavor, ordered 5 different menu items. Everything is breaded and there is barely any meat in what you're eating. It's gross. The dishes are never cooked right either, broccoli is over cooked for example. Save yourself the frustration if you find yourself craving Chinese food and avoid this place, utter garbage. read more

Worst Chinese I ever ate. It was dry, tasteless and not worth the money. Will never get again. I had teriyaki chicken very dry and no taste. Also had fried shrimp. Not bad actually best thing. Had noodles hard dry and flavorless. Also got orange chicken all you could taste was the orange and beef and broccoli which was not tasty. Friend rice not bad but dry and flavorless. Sorry folks but don't waste your money Derek I do not know how to direct message you read more

I love this place!! Great food, great ppl, great environment!!

We came here a few times when it first opened and we were always happy with it. Came today for the first time in a while... and wow it went to crap. The service was miserable. The food was bad. Vegetarian food had a chunk of beef in it. Just sad how far this place has fallen. With this management it will be R.I.P Panda Express boardman. read more

Let me preface by saying that panda is my favorite fast food chain, I lived in florida for awhile and it was always good and nice quality, despite lines from the touristy area. This is the only location around here and the quality is very hit or miss. The building is nice, but guest service is terrible. They never welcome you and rarely ring the bell if you donate, which are staples at other locations I'm only writing a review because this last visit was the worst. We arrived for dinner an hour and a half or so before closing and they claimed they weren't making any more food, so we were served small portions that had obviously been under a heat lamp for a good while and tasted like char. No way we should have been served what we were. People were literally getting turned away because they didnt want to cook any more with an hour left in the day. I've continued to come to this location despite always being hit or miss because it's the only one nearby, but it does not live up to other pandas I've been to by long shot. There are better Chinese places in the area, so I'll be avoiding here from now on. Bad franchise making a bad representation for the brand overall. Hate leaving a bad review, but man, this place really let me down. read more

This location was just opened and I had high hopes for a new and exciting place to get quality Chinese food...I couldn't have been more disappointed, the customer service skills of the staff are severely lacking. The use of profanity, obscene gestures and having staff more interested in talking to each other than the customer is unprofessional, honestly I would be worried about bringing children here because of that exposure. Aside from the lacking customer service, the food was poor quality, being luke warm at best and lacked any real flavor...Panda Express should be ashamed and embarrassed to operate a location like this one. read more

Horrible customer service. No one at the counter yet I could hear voices in the side room. No bell to ring for service. I waited patiently; still no one appeared. I called them from my cell phone while standing at the counter hoping someone would walk by to answer the phone. The phone was ringing and ringing yet, no one would leave that side room to even answer the phone. I had to go behind the counter and yell before anyone bothered to come out. Without even a single person minding the counter, who knows how many people just walked out. Who knows how many people walked out with something they didn't buy. read more

I really enjoyed the orange chicken and hunan shrimp (spicy) on my pick 2 combo. I actually went back for another pick 2. Both the lo mein and fried rice were as good as any authentic chinese food joint. My friend ordered a pick 3 and i noticed that it was the same amount of food on the pick 2 just split into 3. I would go back, but i would only use the drive thru because the crew behind the counter had nothing but their friends in the seating area, shouting spanish loudly back and forth, it was more of a hang out for friends only. As we ate, we were made fun of by the other patrons that were friends with the workers behind the counter. They wouldnt stop stairing and shouting jokes aimed at us. It almost seemed like gang territory ran by hoodlums. The food was good but i probably wont go back because of how i was treated eating inside. read more

They greeted me with a very friendly hello welcome to Panda! They were all smiling and friendly to me, they also were nice to each other and help each other. As I sat eating my food, which was delicious, I enjoyed the uplifting nice music they were playing! They were very busy but they work well together and no one had to wait for food. They just kept it coming! Great job! read more

I tried this location shortly after it opened. Service was slow. Food wasn't prepared. Orders were backed up and servers were utterly confused. I ordered a shrimp tempura style dish. The shrimp was overlooked and chewy and yet, the batter on the shrimp wasn't fully cooked and gummy. Quite the accomplishment. I ordered the brown rice and it was hard and undercooked. I enjoyed my Coke. Even the fortune cookie was in on the gag. It read "Not every new experience is worth repeating." read more

They didn't have sweet and sour chicken for my brother and they didn't have wanton soup. However the place is very clean and tidy. Lines are short and the steak is very good. When we were in line there were many employees but not one could get my food I had to 5 minutes to get my food. read more

People are too damn picky!! Food is excellent, service was good, love Panda Express!!

The food was cold. Tough. And the steamed veggies not even cooked. I'm giving it 2 stars because the people that work there are outgoing and friendly. read more

Do yourself a favor, find another place to eat. Staff is overwhelmed, food came out over cooked. Not a lot of beef in the beef with broccoli. They say this is the fast food of Chinese restaurants. Well, just like the other fast food places, you will not be happy with your meal. On the plus side, the place is very clean. read more

Wow the first and the last time I will eat at this location! Pulled up saw a young man came from outside probably a cigarette break and went straight to serving food didn't wash hands or anything! The workers were more into their gossip amongst themselves on there little walkie talkies. The one lady kept turning off the soda machine welllll before they had to close. Food was luke warm and the rice was cold like really people smh. A young lady must had recently gotten off of work we came in and she was laying in a both like it was her bed! Then I was watching the tv and the one girl who kept shutting of the soda machine turned the tv off that I was watching keep in mind I was sitting right in front of it not to mention yet again it was welllll before closing time. All while cleaning the glass over the food with glass cleaner while food was below. All in all someone from corporate needs to come in and just observe because that was just horrible! read more

Been here a total of three times for lunch. I always order the same thing. Orange chicken and white rice. Maybe it depends on what time of the day you go, but I have not had any complaints about the food. It is always hot, and cooked well. read more

Do not eat here- for food safety reasons. We arrived an hour before closing. Most options were gone, including fried rice- they refused to cook more. We then sat at a table where we had full view of the kitchen. They proceeded to "clean" the cook area by throwing buckets of water up against the walls- the first was the same water they had just mopped the floors with- it was splashing everywhere, including in the cart full of unused sauces and such which were not even covered. The sauces were then covered with saran wrap and put back in the refrigerator. We stopped eating immediately and I said something to the employees and their reply was "that is how we have to clean". Yuck, yuck, and more yuck. And as a side note- you are "open" until you are closed- every customer deserves the same quality food and options no matter what time they get there during "open" hours. read more

First time at a panda express and it was my last. The food was tasteless and spongy. we waited in line for over 20 minutes and there were only a few people ahead of us. Several employees were just standing around in the kitchen area with a rag in their hands so as to appear "busy". I was not impressed. There are more than enough oriental restaurants that serve fresh, hot, delicious cuisine, why waste your time on a chain restaurant. read more

Was served raw chicken. Then the manager called the kitchen out and screamed at them in front of the entire restaurant

I got extra napkins quickly when I asked for them, & I had 3 small children in the car with me
