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)

Grilled teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, fried rice, chow mein and a side of vegetable spring rolls.
Anders N.

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.

Walnut Shrimp.

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.

General Tso + Kung Pao Chicken, with a side of 'half-n'half'.  Delicious and hot at 10:50am.

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.

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

Lo main was aweful

Walnut shrimp was chewy and the walnuts had a bad taste. Definitely like the thought of eating there , but it's

I mean it's the same every time! I love the orange chicken but if I want to be honest the super greens and teriyaki chicken are great

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

The place reminded me of Ling Wu in the Grove area because the decor looked similar. Maybe they are owned by the same people? Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

If you are looking for Americanized Chinese food that you could find all over in the 1980's this is…read morethe best I have found in several decades with the added bonus of not feeling hungry again in 30 minutes and no MSG hangover. There was nothing that I would not eat again, but the highlight was definitely the crab rangoon, the best that I have ever had anywhere and I have lived in 5 countries on 4 different continents and been to another 32 countries. The PuPu platter was good, but I would likely go with separate items in the future with potentially skipping the shrimp and spring rolls. I really liked the ability to pick the spice level on the entrées. I recommend ordering the fried rice entrée, the fried rice that comes with the other entrées is ok, but the fried rice entrée really takes it up flavor wise. I have to assume the Indonesian food is authentic as there were at least 5 families in traditional dress going in for pickup or dinner. I definitely look forward to trying Indonesian selection next time around. It is a family owned establishment and they could not be nicer. Definitely worth the out of the way drive for me.

Soooo good! I asked on next-door what was good for Chinese food near me, several people recommended…read moretwin panda although it was a little further than I wanted to drive I'm glad I did! Shrimp and walnut prawn very delicious good size portion nice big shrimp and not gooey . Combination fried rice has plenty of meat. Great flavor and shockingly also has large shrimp. Mongolian beef because I thought I had to give it a try most Asian places I am very particular and don't like chewy meat. Very good not chewy! Bakmi Ayam noodles with chicken and mushroom very good. I like this more than I thought I would. I also appreciate that it had fresh greens on top. it's also served with some chicken broth. I did not use it yet, smells amazing though. When I walked in, I was greeted by two friendly young ladies. I placed my order and waited. I do not have a large waiting area. They also do not have a large dining room. I would love to come back and bring friends as it's a very cute place and the staff is very friendly. Small and casual decor would be a great place to come with friends. They do have some Asian beer in the back cooler. I can see from where I am standing. I apologize, not taking a photo of each dish however I didn't think about it until after I made my plate.
