Wild, that I haven't written a review for this Panda Express on Dimond...seeing as they have the most affordable family meal around! $39 for 2 lg sides and 3 lg entrees! Guaranteed leftovers. Their only competition is the Costco food court! In this climate even Mcdeez is a guaranteed $50/visit, with zero leftovers smh! I've yet to visit the interior of this Panda Express! I can tell from the drive thru, that it's bright, clean and modern inside. Panda Express' "drive thru crew," is top notch. One of few drive thru's where I know they're gonna get your order correct with zero missing items. Not to mention they also get your order out, fast. No complaints when it comes to the food. Fast, hot, flavorful, affordable, with large portions. read more

Not sure what all the bad ratings are about- but I do note they're all written by disgruntled people who only have one review, so I'd take them with a grain of salt. First off, this Panda has a really nice interior for fast food. The owner clearly invested in this location. It's also well managed. The dining room and bathroom are IMMACULATE. The food and portions were perfect when we visited. This is a much better managed location than the one in Spenard. The food quality here is better than some of the sit down Chinese-American restaurants in town. Definitely will be back. read more

Panda Express - the dining area of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

When it comes to food I'm not that picky. But when it comes to something that can get you sick from not being cooked all the way I'd say this place can take you there. Never have I ever known you could f*ck up a simple cubed sized steak and deep fried orange chicken. This place also f*cked up my drink with not checking on their equipment. Hoping people can see this review so they can get new cooks or something to make food actually edible. Surprised this diamond location is still even up. read more

Door dashed an order bag covered in grease and smells odd never ordering from here again Edit side note also ago leaked grease all over my floor I was a manager at a fast food place but come on I wouldn't let anything like this go out no problem to the dasher they where doing their job but this come on read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I love Panda Express but this location gives such small portions. Sometimes I come and the portions are large and sometimes it's like some ate part of it. The portion scoops need to be bigger. I've been to other panda locations and they have huge scoops of portions. What is this turning into chipotle. read more

Everything is delicious :) the first time i came here to try the orange chicken and it was delicious. Now im back and got a meal and its tasty, plus the customer service is very friendly and sweet. The restaurant is so peaceful and clean i like it ! read more

Not sure how this place has such crummy reviews. I was SO happy to see Panda Express was being built on this side of town! The best orange chicken ever! A bowl combo is $9.10. This is one meat and one side. I really like the orange chicken + fried rice bowl... and for $9 you can't really complain. Currently the dining room isn't open. Your options are Drive thru or order online and pick up. Typically I go through the drive thru which has always been pleasant. Tonight we had a trailer on the truck so we did the online order with pick up. The online system is super user friendly and they give you a time ETA before you order, and then an exact time for pick up. Currently they have someone bring the food out, so you don't have to leave your car. Did I mention the order chicken is so good?!? read more

Not bad not bad. I haven't been here for years. Probably since my college days! But decided to get some food to go and they were across the street. Ordered a few items! Prices are pretty reasonable for fast Chinese food with a drive through! The Orange chicken was as good as I remembered it to be years ago. Kids menu is worth it for the $7. Probably won't come back for another few years. But satisfied my guilty pleasure. read more

Panda Express - Orange chicken rice bowl - Chinese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Let's get started off with how horrible and badly made the noodles or rice is. Every time I've gone there they manage to mess something up. I'm done getting uncooked chunks of chow mein or badly made rice, orange chicken is good though read more

Not impressed. There food is below average & over priced at the Dimond location. Now this restaurant in Henderson Nevada was great every time I ate there . The staff would offer you a little taste if there was a dish I was interested , extremely polite employees, happy to wait on each customer with a positive personality, and the restaurant & women's bathroom spick & span. The was tasty, hot and yummy every time I flew in to Nevada. I highly recommend the restaurant in Henderson Nevada,not so much in Anchorage Alaska! read more

Ordered ahead. When i arrived for pick up, I was quickly greeted and was given my order. Everything was packaged well and my requests for particular sauces were provided. One thing about Panda Express is that it's always consistent and you know what you're getting. Between this, and the good customer service, would def recommend. read more

Don't eat here, unless you don't mind losing your bumper in the drive thru. They heat only a small portion of their drive thru so there's like a foot and a half drop where it ends. It's been that way for over a month now. Lazy. Food was fine. Same as every other Panda Express. read more

The food is alright. without a doubt not the highest of qualities of asian food you can get out there, but it is fast food so what can you expect. I come here religiously when im craving quick chow mein. their chowmein and fried rice are exceptional. the price? ehh could be better but overall not that bad. the firecracker shrimp is also amazing if you like spice. read more

It was 9:24 pm when I was driving through the drive-through and I was told by the employee that they are limited to what's available. Keep in mind they do not close till 10pm. Everything I ordered that I wanted they were out of so I told them to cancel my order then and I left unsatisfied with the customer service. Employees unwilling to have food available for customers, especially when it is 9:24 PM and closing time is not till 10:00 PM. read more

I ordered via the drive through at the Dimond Blvd location in Anchorage. The person taking my order entered the wrong rice, even though she repeated what I had ordered correctly. Over half my order was incorrect, and two items I had ordered were not included in the bag, which I found out when I got home. The cook apparently filled my order with whatever he wanted, not what I wanted. Although the food was good, it was disappointing not to receive what I ordered. read more

Don't bother. Order 3 entrees? Expect 2 bites of each entree to be packed in to a takeout box with the other half of the space wasted on fried rice. Fried rice isn't even that good either, it's dry and I had clumps of barely cooked rice. Chicken is served cold and flavorless. If you want sauce, don't expect to get the one you ordered. Place closed walk ins frequently and only accept cash in drive through. Just leave this dumpster fire of fast food alone. read more

I ordered teriyaki chicken TWICE and most of chicken was black/burnt!! I tried calling the phone number on receipt but NO ONE answered!! I checked number on Yelp, it was different, so I called. It was Cane's chicken under the Panda Express in Yelp. I do not recommend eating at this place. FYI...Also always check if they (Panda) put the teriyaki sauce with your order....most times it will NOT be in order. read more

Really poor customer service. My to go order is ready on the rack but they close their lobby and tell me to wait behind 7 cars in the drive through. Everything is already paid for, can't you just bring it out? read more

I usually stop by to get food here because it's close to where I work. Had some good services through the drive through. Really adorable kids passing out the food, telling us have nice day and drive safe. Also cracking jokes trying to gain attraction to the restaurant. My only issue though when I decided to dine in to eat some of the workers seem like they hate their job. Which made my experience a little bad and they also close really early when it says they close at 10:00. The food was mediocre. read more

So my family and I have busy lives and sometimes don't get the chance to cook and need to grab food on the way home. I'm not sure why we keep going here because there have been several occasions, including tonight, that we arrive just after 9:00pm (and they don't close until 10:00pm) and there's hardly any food. Not only is there hardly any food left, they refuse to re-stock or cook fresh food when you ask and the food that is available is cold and horrible. The "dining area" has been all but closed down and it is apparent that they are in a rush to get out of there as soon as the clock hits 10:00. The staff is completely rude, to adults and children, and I'm not sure how any member of management is okay with that. read more

This place started out great, but went downhill fast! I keep coming back with hopes that it will get back to being great, but it hasn't happened and it will soon be closed down. As other have stated they close down making food way before closing time limiting your options. Even during summer when people are outside enjoying the extended daylight. They should really take a lesson from Canes Chicken down the block who stays open late and the line of cars is continuous. Even Taco Bell and Mickey D's are always open later and packed with cars. In addition the portions have drastically been reduced but I guess that's inflation for you. If the owners would just send secret shoppers to find out for themselves. It may be just this location as I've been to the Spenard and Tikathnu location and they didn't seem to have the issues. Tonight my family stopped there and there was no one in drive through and it's 7pm but they didn't have Teriyaki Chicken and we would have to wait 15 minutes for them to make. It's common for them to not have much available the later you go in the day even if it's and couple of hours before closing. Will continue to look at Charlies Bakery first before going to Panda. read more

This place is terrible. They closed up early clearly to try and go home early. And at 20 min to closing they had everything already completely put away and wiped down.... Poor customer service. We won't be bacj read more

This new location is great for people on the south side of town! Don't have to drive to midtown just for some decent Panda Express. Always consistent with their food. Great service. read more

How is this rating so low? Been here several times and the crew is always nice and the food has been great every time.

Don't waste your money, the chicken green bean entree had minimal chicken, old soggy green beans and onions.

Craving the original orange chicken is what got me coming here on a Wednesday evening. Anchorage is growing with new chain restaurants every year, and looks like it's on its 3rd Panda Express location in town. I ordered online for pickup for a family meal (2 sides, and 3 large entrees) and it was a bit frustrating that the lobby was closed to the public. This meant that even though my order was ready to be picked up, I had to go through the drive thru window and wait more to pick up my order. I don't know if they can update this information online. Otherwise, don't bother calling ahead for food. Chosen the chow mein noodles for the sides, and orange chicken, broccoli beef, and Beijing beef (sweet/spicy beef) as the entrees. They tasted like expected: cheap bare minimum flavored Chinese food. Except on the colder side. The food got cold by the time I picked up from the drive through. It is a shame though, because the orange chicken was really what I was looking forward to. It was on the soggy side and no crunch. Tasted kind of old too. Won't be coming back unfortunately. Chow mein was a bit dry, and the beef broccoli was mostly broccoli (80/20 ratio). Beijing beef was super sweet and had gelatine consistency. No bueno. I was bit of a sad panda with the food and experience. read more

hairs in my food as well as very soicy chicken when I ordered orange chicken. Rice also smelled like smoke which made me lose my appetite

Ordered two bowls and two 2 entree plates. Customer service in ordering and at the window was great. Food. barely a 2. Portions were so small. Broccoli Beef had a whole 4 small pieces of meat for the bowl. All four orders ere not enough to feed 3 small eaters. We are not big eaters. Bland taste, rice was dry, no distinctive flavor variation other than the one spicy chicken. Would not eat there again due to poor value for meal received. Orient Express, Miso's, Haru far better value. I have only written 2 reviews ever. read more

The smell of the food I ordered to go just seemed off (chicken & broccoli) . The chicken texture was soft and rubbery all at the same time and the broccoli was heavily soaked in a salt brine. I took a few bites and just couldn't eat the rest. I doubt I'll ever eat there again. read more

Horrible they gave me a bowl with orange chicken when I asked for broccoli beef and they charged me extra for something I didn't want and they wouldn't answer there phones never ever go here ever read more

This place has very terrible service! Workers were being very rude! Lady at the counter didn't want me to have my change back and gave me all pennies! Bad Oriental manners! Find somewhere else to eat! read more

Food is alright. But the last 2 times including today, the food is soggy and undercooked. I thought I would give them another chance but again disappointed. Ended up just throwing it away. read more

I ordered a kids meal and a plate both had very small amounts of orange chicken and rice. The plate had about 6 pieces of orange chicken. I called to complain and the worker told me that that is a normal portion but I have gone several other times have had more. Very disappointed and highly unsatisfied. read more

Was hoping this convenient drive through would offer decent chinese food and a few things are good but most are so far below par as is most Chinese food in Anchorage. Have tried different items in 3 visits. The fried rice is terrible and I would think you would want this to be one of your best made dishes. The only things I will get again are the Black Pepper Angus Steak and maybe the Honey Walnut shrimp. I hate to write bad reviews but I want them to up their game and get a manager and crew who cares about the food. It is too expensive for the value. I hope the owners take these bad reviews to heart and do a much better job. I just don't know if I'll go back. I think I will watch future reviews and see if they have improved. read more

Ordered online at 8:30. Said food would be ready at 8:50. Waited in the cold until 9:15. The broccoli was disgusting. The teriyaki chicken had globs of fat in it. I threw the fried rice out. Even the packaged cookies sucked. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. IT'S AWFUL FOOD... WORST I'VE EVER HAD. read more

In the drive through; They need to stop asking for donations and trying to suggestively sell one item to every customer. You hear it three cars back and annoyed by the time you get to order. Look most peoples impressions and should be the goal of every drive through full stop. is efficiency! Don't need you to try and sell me the same thing every time! if I want it I'll order it. And no I didn't come through your drive through to donate nor do I want you soliciting everyone in front of me making it take longer to get my borderline edible food. Your food is shit your service and donation solicitations are worse. Save your little hand trap for the dining room. STOP ASKING FOR DONATIONS! And LET ME ORDER WHAT I WANT WITH OUT HAVING TO RESPOND TO THE SAME QUESTION YOU ASKED THE 3 cars in front of me!!!! Only three cause no one want to be harassed for a donation and there's no way to avoid being asked. So I'm not the asshole that has to say no twice before I order! Stop eating time on those two thing you might have time to fix the food quality. It's already just sitting in Schaffer's waiting to be served so stop wasting my time and food quality while y'all ask un necessary questions and give your employees a little pride back! read more
