Super dried out food and tastes different from all other Panda Express, completely disgusting! Panda Express is good but never get it from this location. read more

I thought the service was good. My phone was out of service and one of the staff was nice enough to let me use her hotspot!

Ryan hit it dead on. There is no way this concept should work. Unless your a flabby girly men Americans like all of us give or take a few. My wife warned me; but I was short on cash after some Pappa (sito/deaux) damage over the last week so I gave it a shot. The alternatives in the vicinity were Jack in the Box so I chose the lesser of two grease outlets. My cashew chicken wasn't horrid so I'll give it a star. The fried rice was a bit crunchy and needed some serious help from 13 sauces (they have 2) so no help there. The chicken egg roll (dark/white sorta meat) was acceptable as was the egg drop soup. It wasn't as bad as I expected. For the money; it was spot on. Real Chinese food at this point would have cost you $18 and your first born to work in their kitchen. Habla Espanol? Its worth the stars that I gave em' read more

This location has horrible customer service. Don't come here! Management really needs to hire more qualified employees who don't let customers wait over an hour for their food with no explanation as to why it's taking so long. read more

I highly recommend not coming to this PANDA EXPRESS . They never have teriyaki chicken and I order an extra side, a 1/4 of the bowl is what they filled it up with . I asked for fried rice they gave me plain white rice .‍‍ Biggest dirt bags that have a job work here at this PANDA EXPRESS . Fuhk this place !!!!! read more

Let this be a review comparing this Panda Express to an ideal Panda Express. Obviously you don't go to Panda Express to be blown off your socks with amazing service or food. You basically come for a quick run for Americanized Chinese food. Service: I don't recommend going through the drive-thru lanes. Three reasons: 1-Chances are the staff may hear your order wrong. 2-There is plenty of parking space 3-The drive-thru lanes can get pretty long. The workers do yell orders to each other and appear very busy. When they do get to you they are friendly. Don't expect to be pampered at a fast-food place. Food: For a quick bite.. Panda is my go to place. The food isn't the freshest, the best tasting nor the cheapest.. but its easy and simple. You get to sample their food and from there build your own combo plate. I do notice that they never have cheese ragoons ready. I don't mind because I can eat my own food and they usually bring the ragoons to my table within a few minutes. Atmosphere: The kitchen is a bit chaotic at times, but inside the dinning area it is really chill and quiet with people conversing. The place isn't shady with anyone going to attack you or your car. The place actually looks quite nice and built not too long ago. Overall: Lets just say as an Asian growing up with real authentic Chinese and Vietnamese food and not having a problem with Panda Express says something about their food. Now if they claimed to be authentic rather than gourmet Chinese food then I would have a problem. This is a great place to grab a quick bite with friends without the hassle of going to a "real" Chinese restaurant. read more

Panda Express - Chow Mein, Honey Walnut Shrimp and Angus Shanghai Beef! - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went during Covid -19 and food came out hot, fresh and spectacular without me even mentioning that it come out that way. I hadn't had Panda Express and quite a while and was quite surprised! read more

Food is always coming out fresh at this location. Its pretty busy so things can slow to a crawl during lunch but never had a bad experience. Dont get bother getting the brown rice. Not enough people order it so when i ordered it, the pot was full but the rice was hard and dry. read more

Food was horrible, tasted like it had chemicals in it. They had no sides so charged me $8 for just orange chicken on top of all that. You are an hour from close, how do you have no food. ...? read more

I don't eat panda bc I've had food poisoning from eating there! Also I thought I give panda a second try and guess what I got sick again !! On top of that, DONT EVER ORDER THE "shrimp w/ walnuts" u get no walnuts and when I ask for more they want to charge u! Gross and nasty !!!!! Michelle Contreras read more

I frequently come here to grab a bite with the family. They usually are very good with having everything. Staff can vary... sometimes you're greeted well and other times they're in their moods. read more

I don't know if they instruct them to give you the minimum portion possible but ever time i go the bowl is half empty . There is also always something wrong. This time I wasn't able to pay with card. They asked me for cash only read more

Panda Express food is the same everywhere, but this location is really slow on the uptake. Every time I've been there it seems to take a really long time to get my food. The most baffling part is I've never seen more than 4 customers there at a time, and there always appears to be a lot of employees working at the time. I'm dead serious, the employees actually outnumber the customer (which anyone in retail or food service can tell you is pretty rare), and in spite of being overstaffed it takes forever to get you food. The employees are good otherwise. They're as friendly and professional as you'd expect from a chain Chinese food restaurant. No complaints on that aspect of the service, they just need to step their speed game up a bit. read more

Are you serious 2 and a half stars overall??? Are you serious??? This place is the pinnacle of fast food? Culture, fat portions, ambiance, its all here? 2 and a half stars?? One of these reviewers is complaining about his service at 9:40. They close in 20 mins numb nuts obviously what you're looking for is not in the cards. As for the rest of you people, y'all are just naysayers who want to see the world burn. read more

OK, I really do like the concept of panda express. However, and this is probably an issue with most Asian fast food restaurants, the food is too salty, to oily, and too frantically fast. I guess I am just conditioned to expect a more relaxing experience maybe I'm from the older generation. But I like to have the ability to say less oil, less salt, and less frantic pace. read more

Do you ever get strange cravings for things that you never really enjoy? This is my relationship with Panda Express. Why did I come here? What am I doing with my life? Never again. read more

I immediately regretted going to Panda Express. Even before I ordered, I just looked at the faces of the other patrons, and saw the hollow-eyed pall of guilt mixed with confusion and a deep dulling pain coming from somewhere mysterious. Eating at Panda Express is the kind of experience that makes me question my value as a living and breathing entity on this earth. It is everything that's wrong with the earth all reduced and concentrated into a chinese fast food restaurant. The panda is the perfect symbol for this place, though. It looks cute and inviting. But try and cozy up to the Panda, and it will tear off your arms with its massive claws and continue devouring a forest of bamboo. read more

Bad stripmall "chinese" Food. Good god. Has Anyone in Austin eaten good chinese food? Obviously by the choices offered in our city, the answer is NO. The food here is like those Chun King frozen dinners from the 70-80's - BAD. the service is a complete joke. First, there is some stupid ordering process which not only confuses the patron, but also the staff. they bump into each other reaching for each dish. On top of that, the staff are all pakistani/ indian so there is an even WIDER divide on the communication and food authenticity. Shit, i wish they'd just open an indian restaurant, the food would probably be better. read more

Worst Panda I've ever been to. Slow doesn't even begin to describe how bad the service here is. I ordered two entrees, both of which were empty when I arrived and had to be cooked fresh. The first entree only took about 7 minutes to cook. I completely finished eating my first entree and side in about 15 minutes, in those 15 minutes, they hadn't even started cooking my second entree yet, nor did they have any plans to start any time soon. 22 minutes after I arrived, and my food wasn't ready. I finally left. I had already paid, and had no second entree to show for it. This Panda steals money from you by attrition, eventually you will just give up and leave, and they will still have your money. No apology, no refund. Will never come back to this Panda. read more

They close the doors at 9:30 when they close at 10:00 and when I went through the drive through they only had 5 of the entrees available. Extremely unprofessional, I doubt the owner knows it's being run in this manner. read more

My general review strategy is to review things based on what they are - so if the experience I had at Panda Express was great albeit inauthentic and the service was good, I would unquestionably give it a good rating. Unfortunately when my roommates and I wanted something fast and remembered this Panda is across the street, we went through the drive through and not only was the food cold and limp but they messed up two of the orders and were remarkably unfriendly when we had to go back and have them give us the rest of our food. We did get comped sodas, which were flat. read more

DANK, straight up dank. Great service, great staff. Dank (except the Kung Pao Chicken this time around but you can't win them all) I would add a picture of my food but scarfed it down hahah read more

There's really no good reason why this concept should work. And yet... First of all, this is fast food. And a chain. And anything but authentic Chinese cuisine. This is the homogenized "American" version of Chinese food. And yet I find myself here every two or three weeks (generally hung over), and I'm just never dissatisfied. I've tried a number of the dishes here, and they've all worked out. The portions are fairly generous, and six bucks will get you out the door with a veritable feast. I'm not known for my prodigious appetite, but somehow I manage to down every bite, every time. And then it's time for the requisite Panda Express coma. Go figure. read more

Sure it's a chain restaurant, but I come here they take my order right, I get all my food, taste is delicious and price you can't beat! Staff is friendly! read more

I am not too big a fan of Panda Express, but sometimes when you gots that craving for Asian American food, this is the quickest way to go. I like the fact you can switch your rice to fried rice, noodles... or mixed veggies, which is what I always go for. Schwing! I do like that they are always clean and you get to see them cook your food, so you know they aren't spitting it... while they're cooking that is. And for the most part, the food is rather fresh. This location makes me a bit impatient because they are always sooooo slow. There's this one guy with a limp wrist who scoops the food sooo slow I think I heard time yawn. He's the main problem with the slowness. Otherwise, all good. read more

Mandarin Chicken = Turd on a Plate!!!!! I should have known better than to even try the damn thing after eye-spying it through the clear container lid. You tell me..what's more appetizing.... limp, dark meat chicken, or fat and tendons in every piece?! I would have lost my lunch had I any in my stomach to lose. The only reason I'm even giving this place 2 stars is because I do like their Sweet Fire Chicken Breast. Basically the idea here is, don' t try to go a more healthy route by ordering grilled chicken. Go ahead and get the fried varieties...that is obviously where they are using their all white meat. Oh, and the spring rolls BLOW!!!!!!!!! KJ....OUT!!!!! read more

I don't know what caused me to head for fast food Chinese last night, but I thought it was a good call for some late night grub. Normally Panda Express is pretty darn good as far as fast food is concerned. Sure real Chinese is better, but late night drive thru can't be beat. Or so I thought. Food was a little dried out from the heat lamps, so better to hit this place closer to the lunch or dinner rushes. Anyway, it's fast food. You get what you expect and I'd rather this than most fast burger type places. read more

Disappointing. I realize this is 'fast food' Chinese, but a girl can dream... I'm not the biggest Panda fan, but I do love their Walnut Shrimp with Chow Mein. Panda is about 1/8 mile from my office so I ventured into the drive thru line in hopes of making it a quick trip. I sat in the line with only 2 cars in front of me for over 20 minutes. With 10 minutes to spare, I got back to my desk in hopes of scarfing down my overpriced, under portioned lunch. Unfortunately for me, my chow Mein was burnt. And, not physically burnt. It looked great, but smelt and tasted like burnt plastic. :/ I figured it wasn't a huge deal as I'm trying to cut back on carbs anyway. Then, I tried my shrimp and it tasted like sweet vinegar... Gross! I wouldn't recommend this location. There are other Chinese restaurants in the area that cost half the price. read more

Well let me tell you what. I thought I had found Austin's best asia food experience when I went to Buffet Kingdom down on Westgate and 71, but golly was I ever a horses ass for thinking so! This Panda express is the absolute best asia food I have ever eaten. Not only was the food amazing, but the atmosphere and decorations made me feel like I was actually in Chinaland! Anyways, I ordered what I order at every asia food place to see if it's worth a holler, sweet and soured pork mixed into orange chicken on top of some eggrolls and a bowl of misso soup poured on top like thin gravy (hold the vegetables!) I can usually tell when a place wont be good when they don't do my special order, but wouldn't you know it, they did it just how mama likes it! Now this fine dinin' on a budget isn't for everyone, I understand some of ya'll out there don't understand amazing food when you eat it. But believe me, you order what I always get and you bring a bottle of homemade skittle infused Alizé Wild passion with you, and you will never want to eat asia food anywhere else! read more

This location can get very busy at lunch time, especially inside. My favorite entree is the Beijing Beef. It's got the great balance between spicy and just a little bit of sweet. The orange chicken is also tasty, but it is very sweet, and sometimes you crave a little spice. Neither of these are especially waistline friendly when eaten regularly so I mix in another, healthier entree on occasion, the string bean chicken. It's pretty good and it's healthier because there's no breading, just grilled chicken. The way to make it really good is to put their hot sauce on it. It comes in ketchup like packs and tastes like Sriracha sauce. It gives it that kick of spice that really raises the dish to another level. I have had good experiences with the staff, both inside and at the drive thru. read more

Went through the drive thru yesterday and was blown away by the amazing, friendly service from Mike at the window!!! He was very sweet and definitely brightened up my day with his great communication and smile. Through no fault of his own, my chicken had about 4 more mins until it was done and he apologized profusely for it and asked me if I wanted to substitute it for something else or wait. I opted to wait. He hand delivered my food with his huge smile and another apology. Seriously, hats off to Mike at the window.. Someone should promote him to manager!! He sets a great example for this establishment! :) read more

Absolute Worst Management We arrived to a line almost out of the door. Some people were canceling their order and some were waiting for what seem to be everything except the rice or noodles. We get up there and the staff was nice but running around like crack heads. Management was hanging out at lunch while the workers were scrambling. My wife had to wait 10 minutes for orange chicken are u serious. I had to wait 20 for my teriyaki chicken. Not to mention that our rice portions were for kids. read more

I stayed at the nearby hotel and it does not serve lunch and I walked around and saw this place. This is a typical Panda Express. The place was moderately busy but I was served right away which was good. The food was adequate but can't beat the wife's cooking. One weird thing though. There was no hot sauce at a Chinese restaurant. What's with that!? read more

This is now our favorite Chinese Restraunt in Austin . They added pork spare ribs and a shrimp dish that has a premium price but is worth it. The chow mien is loved by my five year old. He had me come here twice this week. They let you Sample the food because it all made. They also let you know the calories of every item. read more

I asked to use the bathroom that had temporarily out if order sign on it. Once I saw an employee come out of it. I asked the employee if the bathroom was operational and he said it was. I was told that the bathroom was not abro customers. The manager even said that there wasn't a reason other that the owner wanted it that way. There was another employee that came out after the manager wouldn't come back out to talk with me and she was just rude. She told me if I wanted to use the restroom. I could come back tomorrow. What a way to treat customers! read more

This is a great location. It is very clean inside and the staff is very friendly. I like how they have varieties of choices of they food. I love the egg rolls ,the chow mein ,honey walnut shrimp and mushroom chicken. I would highly recommend it . read more

Horrible experience. Rude employees, would not listen to what I was saying, rolling her eyes at me. After talking about my order then she said we are out of that anyways. Ok l said can we wait for more and she said no. I'll never go back to that location probably any Panda Express again. read more

Good place.... great customer service, everyone helping each other.... that's what you call team work... they attended me with in seconds... first time here.... and it will not be my last.... great food.... good job to everyone that worked this Saturday the 26th of August..... read more

This Panda Express has the SLOWEST drive through, it's mind boggling. I actually had to park because I was not gonna wait in that line at 8 pm. I'm starting to think these employees don't work fast enough and it causes back ups. If there was another Panda close to my school, I'd go there instead of this one. read more
