My girlfriend and I decided to come by and get some dinner, both hungry. I got a bigger plate and she got a bowl. The only reason this isn't a 1 star is because the food was fresh and tastes good. The issue is in the attached photo. My girlfriend's bowl came with at most 5 pieces of chicken, if you can qualify some of those tiny pieces as a legit serving. Definitely didn't get our moneys worth. Edit: Then, after posting this review I had to lower it to a 1 star. I found this sharp object in my meal and it stabbed my mouth and made me bleed. (See attached photo for sharp object) read more

The employees that work at this location would probably benefit from joining some sort of community outreach program To learn realistic timelines Maybe some basic English also At 6:30 PM during a dinner rush they had almost no food available and everything was at 10+ minute wait Even though the server said it would be three The one Cook We're sitting there on the phone next to the fryer the whole time texting away I haven't eaten my food yet, but I would bet it's overcooked read more

Love this place i like being able to come in and see the food before i order it and they always give me all the sauces i ask for (:

Ordered the combo plate by delivery. Got the chow mein, fried rice, beef and broccoli and grilled teriyaki chicken along with some vegetable spring rolls. Despite the wait, food arrived still warm and wasn't shuffled. The spring rolls were just okay, they were not greasy at all and had a decent crunch. The chow mein was decent and got the job done. I appreciate the simplicity of both the chicken and the beef and broccoli. Neither were too sweet and both provided room for my own addition of soy sauce and sriracha. I lucked out and got a good size portion of chicken on the plate too! I think it's pretty cool that they seem to have some healthier options you can load your plate with (looking at the super greens). First impressions for this franchise are just okay, I want to give them another try in the future and sample some other items on their menu. Pretty good value for what you get. read more

Huge shout to my boi Jerome great customer service first time visiting this location will most definitely be coming back good portion of food unlike other places plus most of the places I been too there noodles are more veggies than noodles read more

Love Panda Express!! Quick easy and fast, also tastes good. I like to get the two or three entrée plate and I get orange chicken and some other type of chicken. The Mongolian beef is also good, love the fried rice don't get the eggrolls or any of those type things. I do not care for them. If you are looking for something to get and you're on the run this is the fastest fast food you could possibly get I even think they rival Taco Bell on quickness. read more

The portion sizes are a joke! My walnut shrimp had 4 shrimp and 4 walnuts. The fried rice had zero egg. Everything was small and tasteless. read more

Paulita R. Is rude! Very poor customer service. I feel bad for the staff members who have to work with her. Her poor attitude towards customers and dismissive perspective towards staff members inspired me to go somewhere else for dinner each night. I live within walking distance of the Anderson Mill location but don't mind going to the Round Rock location for better service. read more

We came to this location before and the food was delicious but today was terrible, the food was not properly prepared and made us sick with some sort of food poisoning. This is not a safe place to eat. They need to hire better cooks. read more

Staff was very friendly. Food was fresh and they packed it on with hefty servings. Restaurant itself was very clean and they played good music to give it a great atmosphere read more

The manager, Vincent was extremely accommodating! We showed up 30 minutes before closing so our favorite dish, king pow chicken was running low. When he sensed our disappointment, he insisted on whipping us up some fresh kung pow chicken. He went the extra mile to make us happy, and it sure worked. read more

In general, I like Panda Express. While it lacks 'authenticity', it can often make up for it in consistency, freshness, and convenience. Also, looking back on 10+ years of eating at Chinese restaurants, I can count the number of bad meals I've had at PE on one hand. While more traditional Chinese places have had better food, I've also gotten about three times the number of flat-out-awful dishes there as well. So on the balance, if I want decent-to-superior fare for mainstream Chinese, a PE is a good bet. Tried the newly added General Tso's chicken along with the Kung Pao here and was suitably impressed. The food was hot, fresh, and the store was impeccably clean. I need to preface all these good words with a cautionary note: I happened to be there right as they opened, so of course the food was right out of the wok, there was almost no one in line, and they'd just done the morning cleanup. The chicken in General Tso's (deep fried) was excellent - still crisp, with some sweet and hot notes. The Kung Pao could've used some more peanuts but the veggies were nice and fresh without being cooked to oblivion in the wok. About the only 'eh' note that kept me from a 5-star review was the lateness in opening and preparation. As I said, I chanced to be there and hungry at 10:30am. They didn't open until 10:40, and once my order was taken, it was another 10-15 minutes to be served as the chow mein hadn't been cooked up yet! So, a little slow on the draw for 'fast' food, but great nonetheless. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK being seen eating here by Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

Panda Express - General Tso + Kung Pao Chicken, with a side of 'half-n'half'. Delicious and hot at 10:50am. - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Currently 6:09, had to wait a few minutes afterwards for fresh chicken (reading these reviews I might've been lucky) chickens good chow ribs good chow mein was a little old. All in all happy with my purchase. The employees were a bit defensive, but what fast food employee isn't (im also a fast food employee taking peoples bs calmly takes practice.) Chicken was cut lazily and large but still taste great. Took a chance here with all these horrid reviews, but good meal, all reviews seem to be from 8-9 months ago read more

Panda Express - a plate of noodles and meat in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have found that if you go to Panda Express during off-peak hours, you are in for a miserable experience. First, if you go through drive-thru (not at this location) you can't see the food. I can guarantee you that they sit in the pans and the bottom portion burns while the top portion gets cold. Yes they stir it, but only when the customer is walking in or watching. If you go during peak hours and can catch them putting new product on the line, then it's really not bad. This location has been great during 6-7:30. I can typically order the chicken, beef or shrimp dishes and be fairly happy. Lately I've had no complaints. It gets 3 stars because historically it has not been so dependable, but honestly I think the secret is timing. They aren't going to keep fresh, hot food in all the pans throughout the day, it's too costly. So do yourself a favor, go during peak lunch or dinner hours. You'll have a better experience. read more

Tonight, Amy caught me as I was about to drive away because the automated system told me they were closed. She went the extra mile to take my order and provide me all the options available with kindness and patience! The best customer service at any Panda Express I've ever gone to! Izzy, and Kendall shines in their teamwork to prepare and bag my order with such swiftness! Honestly made my night how warm they all were and the good vibes they gave off makes me want to come to this Panda more often! Highly appreciate their dedication and care they took even to the last minutes of their open hours! read more

Don't bother ordering online -- you'll end up waiting longer than if you order there. I placed an online order today shortly after noon. The email said my food would be ready at 12:28pm, so I arrived just after that, figured out which door to go to for pickups, and asked about my order. They hadn't started making it yet. No problem, they're clearly fairly busy, and I don't mind a few minutes delay. 10 minutes later, I ask again. They have not started making my order yet. Another 10 minutes standing in the 95 degree heat, I am again told that they have not yet started making my order. Apparently there's a backlog, which from observation seems to be all of the people that have shown up after me to place their order in person. A few minutes later, I'm told they're waiting on fresh teriyaki chicken, so it'll be another 5 minutes. Finally, at 1:02pm, I receive my order. By my count, 11 people placed and received their orders after I arrived, 5 delivery orders were picked up (two had the same driver), and they still failed to actually get my order correct. The food was definitely fresh, at least, but certainly not worth waiting in the heat for 30 minutes. I do not intend to return to this location. read more

Third time getting food via Door Dash from this location. Every time the food was poor quality and less than normal servings. When I go myself to get take out the food is fresh and good size servings. It's the responsibility of the managers to make sure each customer is getting the best food. It is not equal if you order thru Door Dash. read more

The Doordash delivery driver dropped our food off at the wrong house. I couldn't get in touch with the driver so I called the restaurant. I spoke with the manager, Naresh, and he was kind and patient and helped us resolve the problem. When we got the food it was fresh and tasted great. Thanks, Naresh, for great customer service! Doordash, you get a 1. read more

Geez guys-I read the reviews for this place and they didn't seem very good so I thought I'd post one for you all! I've been going here for a few years and have always gotten good food. People need to stop being so critical! It's a "fast food" Chinese restaurant-geez what are you expecting? Gourmet chinese, white table cloths with waiters? The place is clean and inviting and it's fast and fresh. I noticed they have started offering fundraising for schools. Panda Express also has party trays available which would be perfect for my family or office get togethers (no slaving in the kitchen for me) Plus, hallelujah, they offer you something besides soda! Sobe, Gaterade, bottled water and juice. If your looking for good alternatives for deep fried fast foods -and this is a fast, inexpensive, good choice. read more

Panda Express is Panda Express and that's why we like them. You can get the same dishes everywhere you go with about the same expectation. This Panda Express is no different. The service is pretty good and the selections are varied. LET ME BE CLEAR, if you're looking for an authentic Chinese food experience, then you need to MOVE on. If you're looking for quick, tasty and convenient, then this is your place. I don't often come here, but when I do, I order the orange chicken and a side of rice. Get the Dark dipping sauce to pour over the rice, it helps! read more

I had dinner here. The options were limited. Some items appeared to be dry and old. Chose the fresher options.

Panda food smelled like piss and cockroaches, they never have food ready to be served, and always want to close early. So even if they are open until 10, they stop making more food after 8:30pm. read more

I am updating my review. We returned during COVID and ordered curbside. The experience was good, given the circumstances and portions were better. There was more beef in the Broccoli beef.

Food = excellent. Service = ouch. It's become a joke in my family, "what's missing (or added) this time?" I promise, no exaggeration...we've been to this location at least 15, maybe 20 times in 2 years and every single time something's been wrong with our order. It's too bad too. Most of the people here seems well-meaning, some a bit apathetic (like tonight) but accuracy is their Achilles. read more

If I wanted a veggie bowl I would've asked. These noodles have more veggies everyday. I always ask if they could make more and they say no. Also, the honey walnut shrimp always looks a week old and they never want to make fresh. Last guy told me, "oh sorry we are out, it's just what you see there. We will get more tomorrow." It's like eating leftovers sometimes. read more

Panda Express - Half veggies half noodles. Last weeks shrimp. - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food I received from my Favor runner, from this location, was horrible!! I paid $41.00 for less than half a scoop of kung pao chicken!! When I opened my box I couldn't even distinguish the different meats I had as it was all mixed. The noodles were very dry and old. I knew the service was going to be bad when my runner text me saying Panda Express is out of ice, do I still want my drink? I said yes because I can put ice in it. Unfortunately when I took a sip it was not only warm, but also flat!!!! As a regular Panda customer, I'm kind of disappointed that the food and drinks were this way. Attached is a photo I took when I opened my box disappointed. But I was working from home and super hungry so I picked at it. read more

Not a good dining experience. Service is horrible and spotty availability of entrees.

I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO IF I COULD. they forgot a whole bowl in my order and when i called back to ask for it to be delivered or to be refunded, he fought me to try to give me a future discount instead of just refunding me. he said they would need to call corporate and they were short staffed. what an absolute nightmare and HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! read more

We've been to multiple Panda Express restaurants. I prefer this one by far.. the food is 9 out of 10 times really good, hot, and fresh. I have had a couple of issues with food, but they were quick to resolve and make it right. I have been to another PE and thought I was never going back, this location changed my mind. I love this place for a quick Chinese food fix. I will definitely be back! Thanks Panda Express for this location! read more

As a fan of real Asian food, I am compelled to harpoon any restaurant that tarnishes the good name of Asian food everywhere.. If you want crappy, cheap Americanized, bland, Chinese food served in a McDonalds-like atmosphere... Panda Express is for YOU!

ZERO.. read more

Y'all really need to chill with the amount of onions or whatever veggie you put in the Chow Mein. No one looks forward to it.

Typical Yelper: "I always laugh when people give such negative reviews of a chain restaurant. For what it is - it's good." No! You're wrong. For what Panda Express is - fast Chinese food - it's still gawd awful! I know it's frozen, but the quality of the meat is just plain bad. It's always either chewy and/or gristly. It's always lukewarm. It always looks more processed than a McNugget. The artificial dyes used in some of PE's dishes are out of this world colorful. You may or may not get food poisoning from this location (I know of 3 stories). Also if you ask for chow mein, you'll probably get fried rice. I also chose to review this particular Panda for a reason. The service is SO BAD. My cousin had a gift card and wanted to go really bad, so I relented. We walked in and only one man was working, and he was chatting on his cell phone in Spanish the WHOLE time. When it came time to check out using our gift card, it wouldn't go through. Guy (in between cell phone breaks): Not supported. Me: Umm.. what? Guy: It say not supported! Me: Can you try it again? Guy: Not supported. Me: Well are you running it as a credit card? Cos it's no- Guy (annoyed): Not supported! Fine! I just take out some cash because I'm obviously getting nowhere with this fool. Does he seriously think I have a credit card that is purple with a picture of a giant panda on it? The answer is yes, my friends. read more

I just got off the phone with their "guest relations" department. And told them I did not want coupons. I have been eating at this location ofr more than 2 1/2 years and the service is horrid. I typically order a 2 entree plate with a side of some sort. 40-50% of the time at least one item is wrong. They will flat argue with you if you order something that is not currently prepared like the side of sweet and sour chicken for $1.49. I have been here dozens of time and unless you have the patients of a saint bypass the stress and bypass this Panda Express. read more
