Went in at around 1:30 on a Sunday, as that's what my daughter requested for her birthday lunch. Walked in to a busier restaurant. That's where the positives stopped. The chow main noodles were lukewarm, the sesame chicken, which was an upcharge, wasn't very hot. There were zero tables clean, and when my wife asked for a rag, the cashier rudely said "there's a bucket by the drinks." When we looked in said sanitizer bucket, there was nothing. At all. Out of coke, cherry coke and no tea to be found. Sticky floors. Overcooked egg rolls. If there was anything to say positive, the manager on duty was working her tail off to get things squared away. As a former manager of a food establishment, I get it. Rushes happen. But what I experienced today was so far beyond that. Definite culture of status quo in that restaurant. Will be hard pressed to ever set foot in this establishment again. read more

Yesterday evening my husband and I went to Panda in Branson. There was a couple groups of teenage boys there one group was a head of us and another came in when we sat down. Both group of boys got heaping amounts of food. I'm not talking about an extra scoop of rice or noodles I'm talking about 3 or 4 extra scoops of everything. The people ahead of them got normal portions we got normal portions. Why did the boys get so much food and everyone else got normal portions? The girl serving was young so I'm guessing she was trying to impress them? The total wasn't any higher. read more

The Worst customer service !! their "in charge" person yelled at us across the store, then she (Summer, that's the name she gave) refused to give customer service information , she told us to "look it up yourself" the person checking us out walked off 3 times without explanation, we tried tell her communication is vital in customer servic, she got snarky and rude ! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK !! the worst read more

This place doesn't even deserve a one star, never coming back again. I ordered the large plate of OC and ChowMein and Destiny barely gave me any chicken, just the fried bread pieces from the bottom of the bowl. I was like okay one bad experience, whatever.... My girlfriend and I came back a 2nd time and I ordered the biggest plate thinking I'd get more, same thing, Destiny barely gave me any chicken and chow mein and my girlfriend only had 3 pieces of beef in her beef and b. Terrible service. You'd think getting the biggest plate you would get more food and leave full but it was barely an appetizer, I left still hungry and unsatisfied. Do yall make more money by giving people less food??? It sucks because I used to like Panda Express, never coming back here again. read more

The staff are so incredibly rude. Their customer service is seriously lacking. My daugher was crying when we left. Im reporting this to corporation. read more

It is a drive-through, but the food and service are excellent. Very, very friendly and very very fast.

Worst food and staff ever. The food was not edible and the sales manager cussed me out and the general manager Curtis called me a thief because I wouldn't take something else off their menu and I asked for a refund for the disgusting food I received. Save your money and go somewhere else, literally ANYWHERE else but here. The cream cheese rangoons were over cooked and the cream cheese was so dry it was almost chalky. The meat (beef and chicken) was so dry and crunchy you couldn't tell there was any meat in them at all. It had the same consistency as pork rinds. read more

Panda Express - Beijing beef and honey chicken - Chinese Near Me - Branson, Missouri

See all

I travel a lot and visit Panda often all over MO, AR and more. Disappointing to have my "home" location when I can sit down in the lobby with my family only to have the lobby closed. I understood during the pandemic but since then it remains closed and very frustrating to do take out to have cold food by the time I get home. With so many places in Branson to eat in our family oriented town, I would like to see this location be more customer friendly. It's been 3 years....time to open up! read more

Longest wait in a drive through I've ever had (also the way their drive through is set up once in you have two choices wait or jump a curb...for safety reasons I suggest wait) and it's happened many times. Food is just not worth the price and the wait but go inside and you'll have a better experience. read more

Major fail for a takeout joint. My daughters are competing in a dance competition this weekend. Small windows of time that they can eat. I picked up their (and my) lunch in the drive through. Three bowls, a side of greens, egg roll, rangoons. Get it back to the venue. No napkins. No plastic ware. No sauces. No fortune cookies! Seriously, this is not finger food. Forks are a requirement for pretty much everything on the menu, and certainly for most of what I ordered. How are we supposed to eat this?! read more

Food is great, service is even better. Emily is fantastic! The Kung Pao has the right amount of spice and the Chow Mein is full of flavorful veggies. I wish the Panda Express in Colorado Springs was half as good. read more

Never eat here the food gave me food poisoning the food looked good at first and the people serving were nice but when I got back to my apartment and finished my food my stomach started hurting. The restaurant looked low maintenance and low quality and the crab raggons were squished together. read more

Sat in drive through for 15 minutes at least eight cars behind the drive-through ordering station. Never moved. Tried to call them because I was stuck in the drive-through line and needed to get out with absolutely no phone answering after several phone calls. Obviously they don't want anybody's business. read more

Broccoli Beef was mostly broccoli, only 2 pieces of beef in my Plate meal. And it was seriously overcooked (brown). I went through the drive-thru about 4 pm today. Service was friendly and fast, but the broccoli beef looked either over cooked or it had been sitting around all afternoon. Do better, Panda. read more

Staff was nice and will to answer questions. Took the time to smile. Don't see that much any more. Thank you guys.

No white rice at the lunch hour. What Chinese food restaurant is COMPLETELY OUT of white rice ! Making things even better...she told me it would be at least an hour before any rice was ready. It takes me 5 minutes in the pressure cooker at home to make white rice and they are saying an hour? Worse panda ever. Bad panda. Don't go he Update have been here twice since the review. First time was decent, second time no white rice AGAIN. Today left out 2 entire entree's. Don't go here. Just don't. read more

This is the beef and broccoli. Also was charged incorrectly, given the wrong order and mocked as I was leaving. Wow. read more

Panda Express - Beef and broccoli which is all broccoli. - Chinese Near Me - Branson, Missouri

The beef and broccoli was by far mostly broccoli, and the mushroom chicken was by far mostly zucchini. Pleasant drive through experience. Decent taste. Good egg rolls. read more

Sesame chicken and beef and broccoli tasted as if they sat in a crockpot past the point of disintegration. It all had a similar after taste and was like old mush. The fried rice was okay, but cooked in old oil. The cheese rangoons had been sitting in their own oil to the point that the pastry was rubbery. And finally we had eggrolls which were not fresh and tasted like old mush on the inside and a rubbery wrap fried in old oil. Branson Panda Express deserves zero stars, a health inspection, and new managemen. read more

Can't eat inside yet. Food was good typical Panda Express. Would like to be able to eat inside fast food joints again.

I usually don't like to complain, however, this Branson, MO location has been nothing but problematic for me. Every time I go here, something happens. This location has problems getting food out and ready. Without fail, any time of day. I ordered food 03/23/2019 I walked in and ordered 3 3-item plates: Double Kung Pao w/ White Rice & Fried Rice w/ Spring Rolls Double Kung Pao w/ Double White Rice w/ Spring Rolls Teriyaki Chicken & Orange Chicken w/ Chow Mien & White Rice w/ Ragoons. ..and now I look at the receipt to write this review, I was even charged extra for spring rolls, as the spring rolls were supposed to be the third side for the bigger plate, that has kung pao instead listed as the third side. Anyways, I walk in around 8:20PM and order food.. they explain the kung pao will take 12-15 minutes. I say okay, I don't mind waiting, so we'll wait. Wait until 9PM after putting our order in at 8:23PM. One of our entrees was teriyaki chicken, and when I ask for the sauce on our way out, the cashier explains it's going to take another 12 minutes for them to heat up the sauce. I asked why there was no sauce made when I ordered the teriyaki chicken, and she tells me she didn't know I wanted teriyaki sauce on my teriyaki chicken. Seriously? This is so annoying. I don't mind waiting a little longer for food, but this location is constantly disappointing. I really enjoy Panda, but this location is lackluster. read more

Yet another example of crummy food in Branson. We were hopeful since Panda Express is a chain, but the food was so very disappointing...chow mein was dry, chewy and undercooked, the teriyaki chicken was downright burned, and they said the orange chicken would be fine for my kids but it was too spicy even for me! The bathroom was a mess and out of toilet paper, the trash cans throughout the restaurant were overflowing and there was sticky sauce spills in so many places on the floor inside and out on the patio. Will NOT be coming back. read more

The last three times I've gone through the drive thru they have directed me to park in a parking spot where I have waited 15-25 minutes for my food. I have never ordered more than three items and have not ever gone when the location is busy, yet it still takes almost half an hour to get my order from a drive thru. Going inside is worse, they are always out of something and every table is filthy. read more

Ordered food. Door dash delivery. Food was cold and hard. Missing sauce. Threw it in the microwave....because that's what we like to do when we spend 68$....microwave it...:-/. Rice was bone dry and noodles were way overdone! Look somewhere else for your Chinese food wants! Very poor. read more

I ordered through drive thru via Casandra S. She was very helpful and efficient and was able to read my mind. I ordered white rice but found veggies in my order with my string bean & chicken entre and actually was quite thrilled. After I had ordered white rice I was kicking myself for not choosing veggies! I felt better eating a healthier late dinner than I had planned. She is a great mindreader! Also, the drive thru was my first time ordering food at this Panda Express. I was 3rd in 4 car line up. I felt the line moved quickly and there wasn't a need to park for delivery to my car which tells me they are prepared for later dinner order rush typical during the traditional 5-6pm time slot. Thanks for that! read more

Decided to try it a second time to give it another chance. The food is decent, hence the 2 stars versus 1. Don't be fooled by the menu pictures of the dishes though. Expect 2 small pieces of meat in any meat dish and the rest will be noodles or broccoli etc. What a ripoff. read more

My daughter and I enjoy having lunch together at PE. That being said, the drive thru was apparently out of order. Instead of having a sign at the beginning, you have to drive through another business parking lot and around the building. The sign had blown down but luckily I saw it laying there. Then we went in. They were out of sweet and sour sauce. Do you really make this homemade? Definitely could be a bit cleaner. The rest of the food appeared fresh and tasty. Wish PE had soup! We will definitely come again but this location needs to get it together. Went here again this week and it was much worse. Filthy. Asked for napkins and they were too busy to give me any. Another customer waited for a manager for 15 minutes. We left before one came out. read more

Customer service was terrible the guy who did our orders stood there for 2 or 3 minutes talking to the other associates, not only that he did the same to the guy behind me. Everyone except for the cook in the back was very lazy taking their time doing their job and three bowls were empty of food. The food was dry and you can tell they weren't attending to it in a timely manner. I don't even work food service and I could see this as an apparent problem I can only imagine what somebody who does work in that business would be thinking??? By far the worst Panda Express I have ever been in. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a one star. When I first ate this place, it was good. But ever since then, it's literally the most disgusting place I've ever gotten food from in Branson. McDonald's beats this place, and I honestly hate McDonald's. Also would like to add, the person who took my money touched me with his greasy gloves and honestly felt like he probably didn't change them all night. read more

I went once and it was pretty good. I went again through the drive through and placed my order, sorry we are out of that, I placed a second order they were out of that too. Finally I find a third option and ordered that. When I got home I had about one tablespoon of chicken, I am not exaggerating, the rest was overcooked vegetables and hard rice. $9 for a tablespoon of chicken? Never again! How can you have a restaurant and be out of so many things and seeing the other reviews this happens a lot. I live in Branson but won't be back or recommending this place read more

Worst experience we've ever had! Had a long car ride and was so excited to visit one of our favorite restaurants... none of the food items were available and the napkins were completely out. The Employees WERE RUDE to us... no sauces... our table was disgustingly dirty! There was a huge line of people and everyone was disappointed. We waited an extra 15 min for half the food to even be filled. Overall bad experience and will never return. Would rather eat McDonald's read more

Not what we were expecting. The chicken dishes are okay. The chow mien is dry and tasteless. The primary taste in all the food is salt. I haven't been in a Panda Express in several years. The quality of the food has deteriorated. Disappointing for $9 per plate. read more

Don't know what gorilla made my to go plate but thanks for the wonderfully blended and pre sauced meal. Leaking, slapped together mess. Guess Branson still needs a restaurant with Chinese. read more

Well, it happened again. I had a bad experience there last week but decided to give them another chance because I had like the food in the past. Arrived about 11 AM for lunch ordered orange chicken and another entrée. The food was soggy and you could tell that it was left over from the night before. When I confronted A woman who called her self the manager and ask for my money back she told me that she could not do that it would have to come from corporate. Finally after waiting 15 minutes and two calls to Corporate I received a refund. Pitiful food and customer service read more

I love it here already! The food is always very good and the staff is very nice. I can not decide whether i love the orange chicken or the honey chicken more. We are so excited to have one in Branson read more

First of all these front end girls need a course on etiquette and politeness and learn how to smile, They also need to learn the customer is always right even though they aren't. I love Panda Express but just NOT this one. I will never return due to rudeness # 1 and # 2 because the food was NOT fresh and the asparagus couldn't even be bitten in to, The chow mein was old tasting and not even hot. The size of the portion was ridiculous. I asked her this is an entree? OMG there were 4 pieces of broccoli, Ok I'm done with writing this review and done with Rosa as well. She needs training or firing. Elizabeth was NOT friendly as well but when she heard me ask for Rosa's name she sure was able to smile big then. She got a little concerned that we were not happy. I think some Asian workers would do the trick. read more

The worst fast-food Chinese restaurant I've been to. Quality of food was sub-par and drive thru service was average. Their version of Springfield Cashew Chicken was a joke. It was just over cooked, dry chicken pieces no bigger and a quarter with ONE cashew per order. read more

I'm really not sure how there are so many bad reviews. I've been eating at this location thousands of times since their opening in 2014. Only maybe 2 times was the food less than delicious. Every other time was absolutely fantastic. read more

We had heard it was a good place to eat ,I ordered take out .We tried several entrees six on all for 3 people with noodles or rice, we could not find one thing we liked even the famous orange chicken was sub par. The most disappointing thing was the crab Rangoon which was really high priced,these are usually our favorites and they were awful. We won't be going back and since we live in the area that is a shame. read more

Eating out with food allergies is not fun but the cook and the friendly staff made sure to steer me clear of any food that could have come into contact with the food that I'm allergic to. read more
