Let's not kid ourselves and call this anything other than what it is: American fast food dressed up in a takeout box. And you know what? That's exactly what I was craving. When you're schlepping through the chaos of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, dodging roller bags and listening for gate changes like it's the lottery numbers, sometimes you don't want artisanal. You want comforting. You want salty. You want familiar. You want Panda. Full stop. I went all in: chow mein, their famous sesame chicken, and the fire chicken. A combo that says, "I've accepted my fate and I regret nothing." And yes, I live to tell about it. For science. The line moved quickly, which at this airport is basically a transportation miracle. The food was still hot, generously scooped into that iconic little box that somehow holds three pounds of noodles if you believe hard enough. Efficiency with a side of steam. Now let's address the sodium symphony. The salt. The MSG. The glorious over-flavoring that makes your taste buds throw a parade while your bloodstream drafts a strongly worded letter. It's engineered to make you not want to slow down, but you absolutely must, because if you inhale it too fast you might briefly meet your ancestors. Worth it. Will it make you sluggish afterward? Without question. You will power-walk to your gate with the confidence of someone who just made a bold decision and is prepared to live with it. But in that moment? Pure comfort. Three stars for delivering exactly what I wanted, exactly when I needed it, with zero pretense and maximum flavor. Quality low. Expectations met. Average everything. Mission accomplished. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

On a Friday at 6pm, no rice or super greens. Only had chow mein; didn't even ask if I wanted chow mein or let me know that's all they had. Asked when will rice or greens be available and did not get an answer. The worker just looked around and moved onto the next customer. Had half of the entrees available. Broccoli beef ratio was ridiculous. Black pepper beef was super salty. Workers were super rude from start to finish; seemed like they didn't want to even be there. Not even the slightest smile from one employee. How is there over 7 employees in the small kitchen but no products available? Urgency is not a priority here. Don't get me wrong; I get it, it is airport food and I shouldn't be expecting too much but shouldn't Pandas be the same regardless? read more

Every time I pass through ATL and I have time, I go to this Panda Express. I got here around 9:50am and there was already a line waiting for the restaurant to open at 10am. I got a 2 entree plate with Broccoli Beef and Chicken with String beans. I asked for the Power greens and little of fried rice. The meal was, as usual, delicious....well made....well seasoned. The ladies working here were quick and pleasant...it took no time to order and pay. Great spot for a quick meal.. read more

Best panda I've ever been to!!! no cap. They hooked up my sides like I ordered double, scratch that, TRIPLE. Hooked it up forreal. Wish I had a picture to show y'all but I tore it up live. Shoutout to the whole night staff working Jan.19. read more

I love these lovely ladies at this airport panda. they made my day after a ten hour flight. shout out to Ms. Baldeh

Dee/Dione was amazing. Answered all my questions and very personable and professional.. thank you

This was a terrible experience. There were three staff members working the grill, plus one working as a server, but no cashier. The line was at least 40 customers long and didn't move an inch for more than 10 minutes. When the cashier arrived, the cooks promptly left, and there was still only one person working as a server. By the time I got to the cashier, my food wasn't there. So I had to go back and order a second time. The cashier then left, leaving me to hope that my card scanned correctly. I am sure this is a difficult job, but this was almost the worst customer service I have ever experienced. read more

This is the 3rd time I've come here and they didn't have steamed rice. The staff is fairly nice, however.

Food at this place is subpar compared to other Panda Express location I have been at. The place is super busy and a long line. When I got to order they had just ran out of mushroom chicken and I asked if more would be coming, the server angrily said "I have orange chicken here". PROS: Food was warm and the price not bad. CONS: workers are angry with eat other, cost is higher than other Panda Express locations read more

Had nothing, very rude, get a new crew in that kitchen thats actually cooking vs doing nothing, i ened up leaving

Didn't have basically half the menu, no plans to make certain items like chow mein. Long line

AWFUL EXPERIENCE. Went to order- no chow mein, no vegetables, only poorly cooked stuck-together rice. Got sesame chicken because they had no orange chicken. Tasted so bad I returned it and asked for a refund. The cashier didn't do it correctly and charged me twice for the same amount. I called afterwards and their phone number doesn't work, surprised? No. I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company. Terribly run business. Terrible management. Trash location. read more

Hey guys first review here welcome to my channel so I'd say the service quality is fine for an airport they got it done efficiently and they were well stocked. For food I got the mango kitchen and the beef broccoli and those noodles and white rice. I was skeptical for the beef but mmmmm it hitttt and then the mango chicken too like idk what they r doin back in that kitchen but it was delish so flavorful and then the rice was dry but I don't really care I love rice and the noodles were dry they need sauce but they're fine id still get them lowkey and the portions r very good only reason it don't get 5 is because nobody is perfect read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I never have high expectations for airport food, but this was a whole new level of disappointment. All the normal Panda items are on the menu, so we order as though they exist. We are then told none of those options are available. We went through probably 6 different items before the guy spread his arms and said what's here is what we have. Umm ok are the other items going to become available or do you just serve what you feel like cooking? It's a completely open kitchen so you can see the 2 cooks in the back dinking around NOT actually cooking anything while the 2 guys serving are fighting for their lives with no less than 50 people in line. We make our way to the register and ask for fountain sodas, but sadly the fountain drink machine isn't working. Thankfully the guy working the register could tell this was not a good day for anyone in line so offered us a free bottle of water. He was the only pleasant person in the place. The food was completely inedible so that was also nice. Don't waste your time here. Foul. read more

They're rude, but that's not the worst part. They're careless with food prep. I just had the worst food poisoning after eating their mushroom chicken. I had to go to the ER, the vomiting was every 15 minutes for 2 full days. I started vomiting blood. It's been 4 days and while I can keep down fluids, I'm in so much pain. They've ruined my trip to London, I had to spend the entire time throwing up in my hotel room. Avoid at all costs. Terrible people, dangerous food. read more

DISGUSTING MANAGER I said "huh" because I didn't hear what she said she then said "I don't like your attitude I am not the one " so I said "I am not the one" she then grabbed my two plates of food and said I wasn't allowed to have it she told my boyfriend he could have his plate but I couldn't use my debit card to pay for it. Ny boyfriend then said he would pay both plates with his card she still said no. so I grabbed my plate and as I was going to tap my phone to pay she cancelled the order. Then she told me I was going to jail over stealing food. So I didn't steal it I threw it at her. she then followed me around the airport and told other food places to not serve me she even followed me all the way to the train and started taking pictures of me. her name is Dee and this is what she looks like i think she's a manager and if so FIRE HER managers should be way more professional it's not the streets its an airport which is a loud environment so ofc it was hard for me to hear her clearly. 0/10 she's disgusting person and needs to be retrained on manners ! read more

Panda Express - Her on the phone with god knows who and also her brother who she called to come "handle me" - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Best tasting Chinese food I've had in two weeks. Was in terminal E lounge during a flight layover when I saw someone with takeout Chinese food. Asked him where he got it, and he gave me directions. Must have been at least 300 yards, as it took a brisk 5 minute walk to get there. Got in line with 17 people ahead of me, and was debating whether to wait. None of the 17 people was Asian, which was not a good sign. 10 minutes later, I'm second in the fast food line. Shapely stewardess lady ahead of me orders vegetables instead of rice or noodles to go with her entrees. I figured that if I was to get in as good a shape as her, I should do the same! Ordered the three entrée dish with kung pao chicken, Beijing beef and black pepper chicken, for $9.80 before tax. More expensive than even in Silicon Valley. Took it back to the lounge, where we are so hungry after our overseas flight, that I don't even have time to take a picture. We both dig in. The Beijing beef is a sweet sauce beef, with a covering of sugar cooked into it. Back in CA you have to pay a $1 surcharge for it. Small portion, but tasty and not overwhelmingly sugary. The Kung pao chicken comes with the usual red bell peppers and sliced onions, along with cooked squash amid red chili peppers to give it some kick. Best of the three dishes. The black pepper chicken is on the bland side and is the most disappointing of the three dishes, as it lacks spiciness which I was seeking. Instead of rice, we eat the broccoli and cauliflower to mix in with the meats. And finish the dish in record time, just before boarding, but not before another passenger asks us where we got our food. Best Chinese food I've had in two weeks, but then we've been in Switzerland and Italy for two weeks, not known for their Chinese food! read more

See all

I have been to Panda Express in different states and different airports. When you order a plate with 3 entrees, they r supposed to give you the third entree in a little box. Not here. She put all three on a plate. Small amount. They are cheating. The workers and cashier also have ugly attitude. They seem like they don't wanna work. Then they need to quit instead of destroying the name and standard of Panda Express!! Served Feb 5th , 24, 4:30 pm. Smh. Workers need to be disciplined. read more

For the most part as a regular customer I'll choose Panda Express for a non home cooking night and normally I have had good experiences and good things to say about this restaurant band, so my comment is not about the food it is about the delivery service I put in an order spent almost $30 requested delivery and a driver never showed up but marked on the app that they had completed the delivery I called every viable sauce in town to report the driver and this bad negative service one representative from the Panda Express corporation made it right, her name was Miss Tameka Jay she took care of the matter resolved my issue and restored my faith in the brand. Thanks Miss Tameka job well done!!! read more

Service was rude. I had attitude from the cashier. Next, I've been to several panda express restaurants and when you get a meal and the menu says entrée plus 1 side. The side is NOT the rice. When I went to the register and asked for my side in addition to my entrée I was told my rice was the side. WTH! Then the price on the menu board said $9.63. I was charged $12 and change. Again WTH! I got the entrée and nothing else. Ga tax is 7%. I won't go there again. There are too many other options right next to this place. No wonder there was nobody in line at lunch time. Uggh read more

They've opened back up, but the selections are extremely limited. You have your staples chow mein, fried rice, veggies. As far as the sides go, you have a selection of fire shrimp, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, crab ragoons, egg rolls, and spring rolls. I think a lot of patrons try to get 1/2 and 1/2 meaning half chow mein and half fried rice to start their plate, but after seeing how small the portions are, they end up going back asking for more of each. This causes a disruption in the line. Certainly, the service could be a little better and some of this can be caught up front if the first server is a little more clear about the portions from the start. But it is what it is. I'm just glad I can get my chow mein and orange chicken again. I've missed them for the longest when Panda Express was closed. read more

Let me leave a dry Yelp review the same way they made my order..DRY! I clearly made a request for teriyaki sauce over the rice! READ READ READ! Enjoy your dry review same as I have to eat this dry ass food Guess I'll be at Publix buying teriyaki sauce for the next wrong orders read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Worst Panda Express experience I have ever had. I have been a fan of Panda Express for 20plus years primarily for their consistency. Well this place failed big time.The food looked "watery" as I have never seen before. As I was still processing this, the server asked what I was having, I looked down and saw about half of the food selections were completely empty and asked for the noodles. She said "no noodles, only rice". I have never been told at a Panda Express that there are no noodles, if not cooked they usually have me wait for a new batch. Not a choice here apparently. As I looked past her to the kitchen area behind her, I saw one of the cooks reach into a container he had just cooked, grab a piece of chicken with his bare hands, turn to not face us, and put it in his mouth . Luckily this made me realize that as hungry as I was after a long travel day, I really did not want to eat here! So I walked away. Thankfully. read more

Witch Chinese restaurant on the planet. They did not have any rice. Really? Not like the employees let anyone know before standing in line for 30 minutes... read more

Stood in line for 20 minutes only to find out that they had two items and were no plans of replenishing any of the other food so whole line of people just poor service. Very disappointing for this franchise to have employees that won't take care of their customers. I certainly will think twice about coming to this franchise at any location again. read more

Located inside the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport this was actually a pretty positive experience, all things considered. (+) Prices are extremely and surprisingly fair considering that you are smack dab in the middle of the airport. I believe 2- 2 item meals plus 2 large drinks cost just a shade under $20. For airport prices, I will take that all day, any day. (+) Fast, friendly service. There was a line, but it moved relatively quickly and by the time we figured out what to order, it was time to speak to the employee taking our order. (+) Food was fresh and tasted good....for Panda. lol I mean, keep your expectations reasonable and you will be fine. It is still Panda, but it was just fine and did the trick during the layover. Still beats the hell out of airline food! (-) I'm not even sure if this is their responsibility, but the dining rea was a bit dirty and needed a quick once over. Wasn't too terrible though. I wavered between 3 or 4 stars on this one, but since this was affordable food in an airport, I am going to go with the higher rating. I mean, I have paid more for 2 pretzels and 2 drinks at McCarren before! 4 stars. read more

Panda Express - Plate (2 items, 1side) $7.20 - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Went to location at Atlanta airport. For some reason they only took cash. I ordered the 'big plate ' which had 3 entrees and a side for $9.80 plus $1.25 extra for walnut shrimp. Walnut shrimp was delicious and the other entrees okay. My side was chow mein, which was tasty. More than enough for two to share. Guess cost was reasonable for two eating at airport waiting for the next flight! read more

If I could give this a zero I would. There was STEEL WOOL in my food. Yes, the thing you clean pots with, in my food! Then when I took it back and said I want a refund, the lady said that should had to charge me for the one cheese Rangoon that I had eaten! Can you believe that?!! We had to wait for her manager to come out so that I could get my full refund. Al J. There isn't a way to DM you but my email is foi3707@hotmail.com and I'm happy to set up a call through that email. Thanks for your reply. read more

Panda Express - Steel wool in my food!!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I can't believe so many people are complaining about the price. It was less than nine bucks for a pretty large plate of food and we are in an airport! I guess NYC has ruined me. I think breakfast is overrated and I was connecting at 9 am and Panda Express had non-egg food so I got in line. One thing I didn't like was that the person serving me and the cashier were on their phones. At least the person getting my food got off to scoop my noodles, but the cashier didn't even look at me and was texting the whole time. I hate that, it's so rude! The food is not great but it's by no means horrible. Just standard American Chinese food. The nice thing about eating at 9 am like a weirdo is you know you're getting fresh stuff. read more

I was transferring flight at Atlanta airport. I was thinking about Panda Express and checked on Yelp. It said open from 7 am - 11pm ( or maybe 10 pm) wasn't sure. So I took an airport train to concourse E. It was 2 pm and the light was dark but I saw a lady was organizing and doing things at the back. I asked if it was opened. She said at 3 pm. I had time so I decided to wait. Almost 3, I started seeing people walking there and wait in line. I waited in line and what they had offer in that day was either rice or chow mein with 1 scoop of orange chicken as 1 side or with 2 scoops of orange chicken as 2 sides. I mean are you kidding me?? I waited for an hour for then to open for just rice or noodle and with 1 or 2 scoops of orange chicken. I gave a try anyway. I got noodle with 2 scoops as they claimed as 2 sides. Those were all they had. Got a bottle of Gold Leaf tea. Noodle was oily and no flavor. Orange chicken stuck together to be one ball. So much batter and barely had chicken in it. The flavor is just oil and sweet. There was nothing to appreciate about this meal and the money I paid for this. Only the tea was good because it was an outside brand. This was the worst meal and worst experience. I wasted my calories, time and energy for this. Never again. I was beyond disappointed. read more

This is probably the worst location they have in the Atlanta metro area. This location is super slow with the most rude lack luster employees and their food is not up to par with other locations. They don't service the neighborhood properly. They basically stop cooking food at 7:30 pm when they officially close at 8:30pm. Who closes at 8:30 anyway? Tonight it's 7:50 pm and the doors are locked. People are constantly coming while I'm waiting on my pizza. Close for good please. read more

Its your run of the mill Panda Express except in one of the buiest airports in the world. I was really impressed with the food quality, it was hot and fresh and very tasty. I feel like Panda Express can really be a hit or miss, sometimes its exceedingly impressive, others not so much -- especially in the not so busy locations. One caveat of this location is the lack of not offering one item bowls. It's either Al' Carte or Two / Three item plates. Although I comprmised I wasn't disappointed on this trip. If you have a connection or flight departing this airport and have that crave for american chinease, this location might suit your taste buds ! read more

Thank you Panda Express for coming in clutch while waiting for my midnight flight. Y'all were out of honey walnut shrimp unfortunately...but that's ok. Still bussin' every time! I had the wok seared steak & shrimp, chow mein, & sesame chicken. Yum! read more

Food is never fresh made overnight and thrown in warmer not happy with service rice was hard and chicken teriyaki was too sweet

Showed up at 9:50 to get my daughter something to eat before our connecting flight. Staff standing there with food prepared, one mumbled something about not opening til 10. I decide to wait, and was told aggressively by another staff member that I can't stand there and to go stand out in the concourse until they open, where I would have had no chance of getting my daughter her meal in time for the flight. Extremely rude staff, body language and attitude indicate that there wouldn't have been much care given to preparing the food anyway...decided to leave. Do yourself a favor and choose something else. read more

Just move past it, the noodles were hard, the food flavorless and the texture of the chicken left me with questions. Honestly the best part of the meal was the Dasani. One the positive side, the airport keeps the eating area clean. read more

Panda Express - Looks better than it is - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I ate here on a Sunday. The service was slow considering it wasn't that busy. I wanted Orange chicken and Teriyaki chicken. Unfortunately they were out of the teriyaki and I settled for the string bean chicken in its place. The food was good as usual, but I was disappointed that they were out of bottled water as well. I know it's the weekend and busier before the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration, but hopefully next time they can stock up on some extra water ahead of time. read more
