the honey walnut shrimp had been sitting for a while and it wasn't crunchy which was unfortunate, and we weren't greeted when we walked in and we had to initiate getting our order taken. i think that the lobby could have used a little more attention as some of the things we saw while eating were kinda gross, like dead bugs on the window sill and chunks of old food. the service was the most upsetting part and i don't know if i would eat in this lobby again. read more

Food was alright but the order was wrong, and my order of "mixed veggies" had no veggies other than a heaping pile of kale and cabbage that took almost ten minutes for them to prepare just the pathetic veggie side. The beef and broccoli was also severely missing the beef part. Not sure if 6 o'clock at night is just a bad time for this location or if it is always like this, but from other reviews it seems like this is not isolated. Would not recommend this location. read more

They have the lobby close time at 8. Posted right on the door. I was there at 7:55 and I was confused. Whole staff got annoyed and gestured to me. Extremely bad experience. read more

Many of the employees are rude in the drive thru. 2nd time in a row that the cashier made rude comments and rolled her eyes when we asked a question. The food also wasn't like it normally was, the Rangoon's we were given 2 of the 3 had no cream cheese in them. Normally this location is wonderful and I understand the circumstances but customer service is very important. read more

Just went here a couple days ago and went thru the drive thru. Ordered food and water to drink and they tried to CHARGE me for tap water!! What?! I questioned this and the so called 'manager' said they charge for water, and I said since when. I had visited them just a week prior and told them at that time I wasn't charged for water, and their response was "yes you were". Ok so now you're calling me a liar. They then said "well McDonald's charges for water.". No they don't. I finally got fed up and just got my food and left, minus the tap water. Will I EVER go back here?. NO way, their food is mediocre at best, and now to charge for tap water?. Shameful. read more

This location does a really good job. The Orange Chicken is always tasty, portion sizes are generous, and the food is hot and fresh. The drive-thru can sometimes have a long line, but it moves pretty quickly. I don't care for about half of the entrees that they offer, but the ones that I do like entice me to come back once every couple months or so. Chow Mein is the only side I ever get, but it's not all that great (bland). I've found that if I mix in the Kung Pao Chicken entree, it makes it taste a lot better. The entrees I would recommend (in order) are: Orange Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Kung Pao Chicken. The SweetFire Chicken has good flavor, but a lot of breading. The veggies in the Black Pepper Angus Steak weren't cooked long enough. The Mushroom Chicken was pretty good, but I was disappointed by the lack of chicken (mostly veggies). The Black Pepper Chicken was too peppery for my taste (and I don't like celery), but it was good mixed in with the Chow Mein. The Broccoli Beef tasted like something you get from the freezer section at the grocery store. And finally, the Beijing Beef had an odd texture, but I think I remember the flavor was ok. Despite all this, I keep coming back for those few dishes I do like because they're done so well and are a good value. read more

So, first time back to Panda Express since we'd had a bad shrimp experience in 2020. This time the shrimp was good but the chow neon was cut short. Tiny bits and pieces of noodles. Not sure if this is a new recipe, but we prefer our chow main noodles longer than one inch. Gonna give another try someday soon. Drive thru service was quick and professional. read more

Just ordered Panda Express via Uber Eats since I couldn't leave work and was starving. If you are hungry you better anty up for their large sizes because the small wasn't enough to feed a small child. I've never seen such a small portion of anything from any restaurant before! If I can find a way to upload a pic I will but these chinese take out containers are made for sauces, not main dishes. They are literally 2.5' tall x 2.5' wide by 2' deep @ $6.20! Are you kidding me? NEVER AGAIN! read more

Panda Express - Panda Express $6.20 serving!!!! How is anyone supposed to make a meal out of this? The fortune cookie was more filling and almost bigger!!! - Chinese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I have used this location on Sunset road for about 2 years and had usually good experiences. However on 17 Feb of 2021 they mixed up my order with someones order. Not much of my order was right and the item (Teriyaki Chicken) had no sauce. But what really upset me was no one answered the phone when I called to complain. Further after I left a message, my call was not returned. I thought I could call the corporate office and tell them...no. This was Panda Express #1073 in Bellingham Washington. $23.99 wasted of food that was mostly thrown in the garbage. You won't get my money again! read more

It's acceptable, sort of. Panda Express is a high-end fast food place (now there's an oxymoron if there ever was one....). The food is not terrible, and the prices are low, but it does have some real problems. First, and this is a problem with almost every Chinese restaurant in Bellingham, there are too many dishes which are sweet: Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Beijing Beef, Chinese BBQ, etc. To give you an idea of how bad this is for you, a modest serving of Beijing Beef will cost you a whopping 800 calories, while a similar serving of Mongolian Beef (a savory, not sweet, dish) is only 200 calories. Second, you'll be eating mainly chicken and beef. There is not much in the way of seafood and no pork. Pork is a staple of Chinese cooking, and cheep to boot. Why don't they have pork dishes? Finally, don't expect any spicy dishes here. This is food for the masses, and here in the Pacific Northwest that means not even a hint of spicy heat. Still, if you are aware of the nutritional content of their offerings (readily available on their website) and order accordingly you can get some acceptable food here. Take it home and spice it up! read more

On 07/09/23 at around 5: 20 pm, we went here for dinner. I ordered white rice, steamed broccoli and kung pao chicken, which they had just cooked and poured into the stainless steel container. This was the reason I ordered it. However, the young woman server gave me the tiniest portion of the kung pao chicken. It barely filled the small square of the styrofoam box. In other Panda Expresses we'd been to, the portion of the entree should overflow the tiny square and run onto the rice. When it was my husband's turn: He ordered white rice, honey walnut shrimp and broccoli beef. Same thing. The 2 entrees barely filled up the 2 small squares of his stryrofoam box. We ended up paying $20.85 plus tax for 2 boxes of mostly white rice. It was very disappointing. Not sure why she was so cheap. She seemed polite enough so I don't think it was personal. I can understand if they're trying to save money, but these miniscule entree portions are ridiculous. However, they really piled on the white rice. read more

Gross! Brown rice was old and hard. The orange chicken gave me a stomach ache. Panda Express? Probably never again. The people working at the counter were nice enough to replace my food but it just didn't feel right to eat. read more

Now, I come here often and most of the time the service and food is good:) but today was not the case at all. My boyfriend and I went in for lunch and got a plate and a bowl and 2 orders of spring rolls, but after I payed for our meal we found out they ran out of spring rolls and offered us egg roles as compensation, but we politely declined because we don't like egg rolls. We expected a refund for our spring rolls since we wouldn't be getting any, but we didn't and we got egg rolls either way. Extremely disappointed, but it wasn't our main concern, when I opened up my bowl I found a large piece of black lettuce completely moldy and extremely concerning. We called and nobody answered us the first time and the second time we got an answer and they didn't seem concerned in the slightest. Now my boyfriend and I both used to work in customer service so we understand how hard some days can be but we just wanted our money back from a terrible experience and got nothing:/ read more

We were big fans of Panda Express back in LA. We like that they don't use MSG in their foods and have no trans fats. My husband loves their orange chicken and I like that they have veggie entrees. But this review isn't about the Panda Express back in LA, it's about the one in Bellingham. The one in Bellingham is so bad we don't go there. We tried it a few times and just couldn't get into it. Firstly, their portion sizes are WAY smaller than in LA. They use the same take out containers but barely put anything in there. For the price you're paying, you're really getting jipped. Secondly, the food, although they're the same entrees at all locations, just tastes bad. The meat is dried out and everything is overly greasy. Maybe if this is all you know, you'd think it was decent food, but we can't eat it because it just isn't the same that we're used to. Instead, we get Chinese from Haggens. read more

The food at this location is not as fresh as the one near College Way. The orange chicken I had was drenched in sauce that was too sweet. The side of fried rice was under seasoned. Also, I notice that this location is stingy with the amount of food they give. The Boy ordered the shrimp and he had 4 pieces of shrimp as an entree choice...4. The cashier was ok I guess. She overcharged me for one of my entrees, but I was too tired from the drive to argue with her. The food scooper really needed to be happier. As I said, I was tired from the drive from Canada, I didn't need some grumpy food scooper giving me the death stare and giving me so little food on the plate. The table I sat at was sticky. The fortune cookie I ate was ok until I broke it open and saw black mold like dots on the inside of the cookie. Disgusting! I will never return.. read more

Just no. The service is bad, the food is sketchy, and it costs more than it ought to. We've waited 30 mins in the drive-thru and I've never been once when all the entrees were available. You're "out" of beef and broccoli? How is that possible at 5pm on a Thursday? Once, they had me pull around to the parking lot to wait on my food. I waited 30 mins then called them from my car. I got a terse apology because they'd forgotten me. read more

I actually love Panda Express. I forgot it was even here. I was happy to rediscover Panda Express again. It's fast fresh Chinese Food. I saw them making it over the grill! There are many option to choose from. We usually get orange chicken, chow-mein, egg rolls, mix vegetables and prawn or whatever the specials is. Every time it has been fresh and amazing. A great go to place after a shopping and craving Chinese food. read more

GAMEY. I'm disappointed this Panda Express is consistently earning itself only 2 star reviews, but I have to jump on that same bandwagon. The other reviewers are right. I was really happy with Panda Express in the Greater Seattle area, and was excited to see one in Bellingham. But every time I went there, the food tasted gamey to me. I gave them several chances with the same result, and gamey meat creeps me out, so I didn't go there for about 4 years. I thought perhaps they were going through a bad period, or had a bad cook, and I gave them enough time to work through it. But I went there today, and it's still gamey. I won't be back. :( read more

Don't go here!! Rude! Wrong items! Waste of money. Go to the mall always fresh and great customer service. When I go here on drive thru they always have my order wrong you have to make sure to ask for your fork or napkins. Manager sucks! Spoke to him about my situation and when I came. The next day for my meAls done properly he said he never said that to me ? We drove an hr away from there to be said we weren't going to get our order done right. Sucks!! read more

They were not practicing proper safety, there was an employee without a face mask I am very disappointed. Also I was lied to when they said they were making a new batch I said that's fine I'll wait 10 min later I had to walk in (lobby should be open it should be curb side) and noticed they weren't cooking it yet and am still waiting ... 15 min later read more

They hustle you super hard at the drive thru I always feel like I'm at a shady used car dealership. Every time I'm asked like 5 questions after my order! "Do you want to donate to this? Do you want to add egg rolls to that? Do you want to try this garbage item today?" I realize that this is probably a non negotiable policy for the employees but it seriously is super frustrating when I get interrupted during my order and they try to constantly upsell me read more

Yup never going to Panda Express, should have gone to Hawaii BBQ instead. Got a bowl orange chicken and fried rice, they only gave me 4 pieces of orange chicken. Disappointed. read more

great food, great friendly staff. When food was sold out, the staff got right on it and food was delinered to my table within 2 to 3 minutes. read more

I've been here a few times and the people I encounter are always quick and pleasant. The last time I went in, I was probably in and out the door within 3 minutes with tasty food in hand. read more

Wheres the meat? First it was the mixed veggies replaced with super greens with kale stalks as big as pencils for you to choke on. Now a reduced menu with little sign of any meat, steak entree serving sizes were tiny with a few little bitty pieces of beef. Beef n Broccoli had 2 tiny pieces beef. Orange chicken pieces tiny like popcorn. Take out container mostly filled with noodles for $10.00. All employees were masked so that is why we give one star for effort. read more

It's fast food - so my expectations aren't high. I'm pretty easy to please on this front. When I have been here, the place is usually clean with fresh options to select up front. The food is consistent and the prices are fair. read more

Zero stars if I could. Nasty place and very rude workers. If you don't want to work there then don't. Do NOT take it out on the customers. The workers here are awful and slower than molasses. read more

SLOW service! Went thru the drive thru and total wait Time from start to finish was 25 mins!

I don't know WHAT has happened to this Panda location, but 25 minutes in the drive thru when the restaurant only has 2 cars in the parking lot, and a total of 4 patrons inside is UNACCEPTABLE!!! and then to get home and find 3 tiny pieces of honey sesame chicken buried under a MOUNTAIN of asparagus is ENRAGING!!!... I USED to eat here regularly,,, never again! read more

NFG!! i get the impression that when the pans of food get low the portions get smaller and smaller and smaller. JUST MAKE SOME MORE PEOPLE!! I've never seen such small lazy portions. Its almost insulting. The food itself is exactly what you would expect from a fast food joint. Service and portions and just both very very small. read more

Very disappointed with my experience here. I've been to Panda Express before but my experience at this location was really rough to say the least. I went through the drive through and order 2 of the 2 item entrees. It took 20 minutes to get our food. When we did get our food it was extremely salty and and uneatable. Maybe it's just my experience and it was an off night but I don't think I will be returning anytime soon. read more

Update: After a year and a half, I finally went back. Totally normal now! I've (only) gone in the evenings and it's been a few minutes per car with friendly staff. read more

Worst experience I've had there. I won't be coming back. If you are looking to have great customer service and not be talked to like you're an idiot, then don't come here. A very rude employee at this location asked for my I.D with my debit card but I was my boyfriends and I explained that I could just use cash because he wasn't with me and she very rudely told me to just leave and get out of her drive though. I'm assuming she was having a bad day or maybe she was just upset over that stick that's up her ass. read more

While your waiting on me, please don't stop to yell "Welcome to Panda Express" to every customer that walks in the door. Staff is all too eager to use word tracks without listening and being more personal with guests. Sample this, sample that, egg roll, etc. I understand suggestive selling but slow down and be personable. Food as expected. read more

I meant to drive to Panda Palace which has more positive reviews but made a wrong turn and ended up to this wrong "Panda" instead, to my regret. The guy who was taking our order wore a headset who appeared to be distracted at all times. Then, the pork meat of one of the entrees was still raw within. He also missed putting the veggie rolls and had to be reminded when we all have already started eating. Thumbs down. read more

Not consistent in service or quality of food I usually go through the drive-thru. Been going to this Panda for a few years and the service and quality of the food is not consistent. I actually don't mind waiting if they don't have my preferred item (which happens a lot) because at least I know the food will be fresh. Last night it was not. My String Bean Chicken had obviously been sitting in the hot case for a while, because the green beans were not "green". They were more of a gray color, very limp and no flavor. My Broccoli Beef was not much better. I usually order the two entree plate so that I can get a maximum of veggies, especially since they got rid of their mixed veggie side - but that's another rant. To top off the old food, the fried rice side was completely covering the container bottom and the entree's were served on top. There is usually so much rice, I ask for them to go easy since it's easily 3 servings, and even though they verbally acknowledged my request I still got way too much rice. But at least this time around my order contained the correct items. That is not always the case. Panda, bring back the mixed veggies! Get rid of your cabbage side dish. Add kale to the veggies if you need to, but bring back the veggies! That is really the only thing that sets you apart from most "fast food" restaurants. read more

It seems everyone is hammering on this Panda Express. Our experience this evening was very good. We walked in, walked right to the counter and ordered, no waiting. The food was fresh, and tasted excellent. I am on weight watchers and was easily able to select a couple of dishes that fit into my program and enjoyed them. My wife who is far more critical of restaurant's enjoyed her Angus beef dish and was quite happy when her dinner (much better than Bayou on the Bay dinner last night). read more
