Food was ok, but didn't come with rice. I assume, maybe my fault, but don't most orders come with rice? Also, no sauces for anything. Again, don't most come with sauces even without asking? First time ordering so maybe I'm at fault, but site was not clear in my opinion. Probably would not order there again. read more

We wanted to replace the Beijing beef, but they gave us a hard time despite another customer trying to argue on our behalf. By the time they gave us a side of spring rolls, I had lost my appetite. Not coming back! read more

Always busy and unorganized store. Gave me wrong order almost every time when I was there. Some employee doesn't speak English much. It causes a part of problems. read more

Horrible service. The associate asked me what side I wanted and I said fried rice repeatedly, he still insisted repeating the question 5 times and confusing me. He didn't even listen to my answer but kept repeating. Very strange staff lol unbelievable experience read more

Terrible portions. Paid almost 8 dollars for not even 10 small pieces of chicken and rice. All the staff is joking around and on their phones too. read more

I've only been to this location once and the general manager was sleeping. Food was old and cold but they didn't charge me for my meal so I can't give just one star. read more

Love this Panda! They are so cheerful and friendly, and the food is always hot and delicious. I've never had any issues here. Do yourself a favor and take the survey on the back of your receipt (call or go online) and you can save $$ on your next visit! read more

I dig. Who doesn't secretly crave their orange chicken from time to time. Every single time I've been in here they UNDERSTAND my order, whether it's subbing, adding or changing something... I guess it's not that big of a deal but it truly is to me after this week (read: Boston Market Fairfax oy vey). So it's worth noting and is much appreciated. The place is in tip top shape and very, very clean. I've even taken it upon myself to lean in by the cash register to peek to the "kitchen" and you can even see the freshly chopped veggies ready for the next batch of _____ to be cooked. The older woman that I encounter most times is very sweet and cheery. Definitely one of the better ones I've been too. The one in Merrifield is trash compared to this location hands down. read more

My husband and I used to meet up at Panda Express in San Francisco when we were dating, so the Panda has a bit of romantic nostalgia for me. That being said, I have been married for awhile now and my eyes (and taste buds) are not nearly as clouded over as they were back in the day. I was excited that Centreville was going to get a Panda Express when they first came to town (I think they have been open for about a year). Centreville is getting better as far as dining choices, but at one time it was truly slim pickens around here. Unfortunately for Panda, there are so many excellent Asian food restaurants in this area, that Panda now seems a little too Americanized and "fast-foody" for me. We visited the other night and I did notice that they have improved on a few things. For instance, there is a sign that says if any of the food pans are low (or empty), they are happy to cook up some more for you. Which is good, because the last time I went there half of their trays were empty. This time, everything was well stocked (it was about 6:30 pm on a Monday night) and most of it looked pretty good. They have a new dish called "SweetFire" which is supposed to be a spicy version of sweet-n-sour chicken. Trust me, though, it's good but not very spicy. My husband, who is sensitive to that sort of thing, ate it without any after-effects, such as heartburn. So if you like a slightly spicy sweet-n-sour, go for it. If you are looking for heat, don't bother with this one. The Crab Rangoon is a tasty treat and a bargain besides. You get three large pieces filled with the creamiest cream cheese I've ever had in Rangoon, for only $1.25. We ordered three of them (nine pieces) and it was enough for a meal at only $3.75. This was probably the best dish that we ordered. Other things we ordered were Kung Pao Chicken, which I found to really have some heat (courtesy of a decent amount of black peppers), Mushroom Chicken (big on mushrooms, very short on actual chicken), and Orange Chicken (overall pretty good). All in all, the food was okay. The fried rice and lo mein were unusually dry and nothing to write home about. They have a decent kids meal (one entree, cookie and drink for $4.50). And they are very generous with the fortune cookies and plastic utensils, just in case you were wondering. read more

I go to Panda Express in Centreville and it's pretty good. I always get the classic orange chicken with some cream cheese rangoons. The chicken is always so crispy and the rice is so soft and warm. And I can't even get started about how good the rangoons are. They never disappoint. The only proba I have ever had was when I ordered it on Grubhub and the chicken was watery and I got no rice or rangoons. Other than that sad incident, PaNDA Express is great if your looking for some Chinese fast food! read more

This is the best panda I've ever been to. An employee even went around the tables offering sauces and fortune cookies.

I am not going back or at least I am not going there for an early lunch. Okay. I went back to this Panda Express for an early lunch--around 11:15AM. I felt like I was the first customer of the day. There were some empty trays and some half filled trays. No big deal. So, I picked three dishes--orange chicken, kung pao chicken, and black pepper chicken. None of the beef dishes were ready. It was a take-out order. I came back to my house and I soon realized why those trays were only half full at the beginning of the lunch hour. THEY WERE LAST NIGHT'S LEFTOVERS. I could tell by how the food tasted. They tasted like crap. We can all guess by their prices that Panda Express does not use high quality ingredients especially chicken meat. I'd say the quality of chicken they use is no better than McDonald's if not worse, because McDonald's would get way higher volume discount than Panda Express. So, it is obvious that the chicken will taste very bad a day after they are cooked. I don't know if recycling yesterday's leftovers is a standard normal practice at all Panda Express locations or not. But, I am not going back or I will make sure not to go there for an early lunch ever. read more

Its cheap, fast, and everything you'd expect from a Panda Express. I've had better (esp. the one in Sierra Vista, Arizona), but it serves in a pinch. My standby order is white rice, orange chicken, and beijing beef with a side of mandarin sauce. The parking lot is just awful (why oh why must people in this area place THAT many speed bumps is beyond me). If you want a great smoothie, hit up the Cafe next door. The only drawbacks are they never seem to have enough staff for the lunch hour rush -- so get there before noon or after 1pm -- and they don't have the full Panda Menu (I'm not sure why, but they don't carry everything offered on the Panda website). read more

Solid four stars for this Panda Express. I've been here probably five times since it opened. The food is always fresh here, and there is a very friendly lady who will always give you a bit extra if you are nice to her. The orange chicken is fantastic, as is the kung pao. It is INCREDIBLY QUICK. Honestly, you can be in and out in less than two minutes. I love instant gratification with decent food. Don't forget that it is diiiirt cheap for a ton of food. I am a happy camper. read more

I have always loved Panda Express, and the last one I went to was actually at Tyson's Mall years ago. Anyways. My boyfriend and I decided to go for "pre-Valentine's Day" lunch. We each got two dishes and a side. For me, it was Orange Chicken, Sweetfire Chicken, fried rice and two spring rolls. The Sweetfire was okay, not as spicy as I was expecting and kind of reminded me of a mild Sweet and Sour Chicken. The Orange Chicken packed a lot of flavor and was fantastic. The fried rice and spring rolls were also good, I've had better of both, but they weren't bad. My boyfriend got the Mandarin Chicken, Orange Chicken, Chow Mein and an egg roll. I tried some of his Mandarin Chicken and I liked it more than my Sweetfire. He said that the chow mein was not as good as he had hoped and that he wished he had gotten fried rice. He said nothing about his egg roll, but I assume by the speed at which he ate it that it was good. read more

It's a Panda Express. They're all sort of the same. This one is clean, the food could be fresher. What boggles the mind is why they advertise their firecracker chicken so heavily. It's one of the worst dishes I've ever had. Don't expect to return here unless it's for free food. But then again, this was sort of hard to classify as food. read more

Their lo mein tasted like it was stir fried with really really old oil. We found a long hair intertwined in their lo mein, didn't like it, but we just took it out. It happens. Then yesterday's take out had a piece of plastic in the kung pao chicken, upon a closer observation, it looked like someone's used band-aid. This is just unacceptable! Don't think we'll be eating here again. read more

We go to Panda Express all the time and all over the place but this one is hands down the best. The food is great and fresh. Also I would like to mention that Lily is the BEST so friendly and just down right awesome a true asset to the company! read more

Food (Beijing beef and Orange chicken...my favorites) and customer service (May and Sufei) are always better than I expect. I really appreciate seeing May during my visits!!! By the way, I've also noticed a positive change in the fried rice...AWESOME! I always thought the fried rice was delicious; but, my taste buds are telling me some positive has taken place with the fried rice! read more

The tall Asian man working cashier was very enthusiastic and lightened up my day I have never made a yelp review before but hasn't Louisiana's encouraged me to write one the food was also delicious. read more

Technically I wouldn't give any stars. I go in to get my lunch and I was surprised by the line being held up because management decides they want to make a scene on the floor with one of their employees. He was talking down to her as if she was a child. I don't care if it is the employees fault, they had no right to speak to her like that. He wasn't even listening. It very unprofessional and distasteful to do that in front of customers read more

It's cheap, fast and honestly I am not going there expecting authentic food. It tastes good. The people are pretty helpful and friendly.. I always get the chow mein noodles with honey almond shrimp and orange chicken. I generally don't stray from that. The honey almond shrimp is big shrimp which is unusual, good quality... yumm... It is not the most convenient location but it is pretty dead by 1pm. I do wish they carried some other items like the website. read more

This review is two-fold. I had a catering order from this location in October; I placed order online about 4 days prior to the event. Order was ready when I got there, it was right and it was HOT! 2nd part is for lunch yesterday I wasn't always a fan of this chain, however since this one came to Centreville I've changed my tune!! I was offered a sample of an entree I'd not had before (Beijing Beef) and ended up purchasing - it was soooo good. They were very friendly and gave me all options for my order. Food was fresh and hot. Most important to me ~ restaurant was very clean and in order; floors swept and free of debris, doors/windows all clear-no fingerprints, tables in order with chairs and cleaned off. No trash on the tables or counters. I will def'ly continue to patronize this location! read more

So good and fresh. The place could be a little cleaner but staff is nice. Staff provided us with various samples and gave us great portions. read more

I don't understand the bad reviews. This is the best Panda Express I have ever been to and one of the best fast food places I have been to May, The manager is always friendly and overs some of the best customer service I have seen. She knows my mother as she comes in often too. The food is always hot. Service is fast and friendly I have not one slight negative thing to say and I have been here uncountable times. Highly Satisfied. The location is ALWAYS super clean. read more

This Centreville-based version of the chain is exactly what you'd expect. They have a good variety of chicken and meat-based dishes, and keep moving newly cooked food in and the older stuff out as the day progresses. Service was good; they offered samples of a new chicken dish and the manager came out to ask us where we were from (survey for their consideration of the next branch) and took the opportunity to ask us about our meal. They are good at moving you through the line quickly, but I have not been at a lunch rush and cannot say if it would be different then. The price was reasonable enough, especially for a family. You might get more at another area chinese takeout, but you'd pay a dollar or two more per person as well. We had two adults, one grade-schooler and one toddler in our party, and everyone was satisfied. The adults, who would generally choose spicier fare if possible, did not think the spicy option offered ("Firecracker Chicken") was very spicy at all, but it was still too spicy for the grade-schooler. On the other hand, the Black Pepper Chicken did have a nice peppery kick, and they passed my childhood Beef With Broccoli test (if a Chinese restaurant can't make good Beef With Broccoli, you can't trust them on anything else). read more

The worker gave me the smallest three orange chicken bowls ever. This location is so cheap OMG. Waste of money and very disappointing. The bowls were not even half filled decently...not even a one scoop. The rice was not even half filled... not a scoop!!! And orange chicken was less than one decent scoop!!! I counted a d received 7 pieces of mostly small and 2 bigger pieces. What the heck for the price I paid. JUST CLOSE THIS PANDA EXPRESS IF BUSINESS IS THAT DIFFICULT. No customers are willing to pay the price you're charging for these small portions during the pandemic. Serve a decent scoop or don't do business at all please. read more

The servers were very courteous and the food was delicious! Very flavorful and hot and fresh

For a fast food restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised by their quality of food and customer service! There wasn't enough beef & broccoli for my order, the woman taking my order said they'll make some more. I had small children with me, instead of making us stand there and wait, she gave me rest of my order first so that we can sit down to begin eating. When the entree was ready, she had it brought to our table! Two thumbs up for attentiveness and service! read more

It's a really bad service, the lady was so rude at my grandmother cause she don't speak English, you should change the people who it's working, and don't be acting so rude with the customers, I won't come back again because I feel discriminated read more

They get five stars because of quality of food and service for a very affordable price. The place is clean and designed very well, and the food cooked up to good standard. The staff was pleasant and professional. Panda Express has my support :) read more

I placed a large catering order at 9:30 am and their system let me know that due to the size of the order we could not pick up the order until 1:37pm. I waited until they opened and called the store and spoke with May?. I explained the situation and asked here if there was any way we could get the order sooner. She said no problem come in at 12 and we will have the order ready! Thank you! I was fully expecting on having to deal with hungry grumpy employees and you saved the day. Food was great by they way! read more

Came in at 840 and they had all of 4 entrees left they were all crusty from sitting. Not the best not the worst I have ever had.

i loveee panda express!! They have the best food, its not really real chinese food but mostly its sooo good the orange chicken its the best thing there. I aso like the kong pow chicken its really good too they have the cheapest meals too only 7 dollars for the two things plus rice or noodles and 10 for three things!! read more

The people here are friendly but I've eaten better chinese food elsewhere.I didn't expect much since its Panda Express, the McDonalds of Chinese food. If you want fast Chinese food for cheap then you found the right place. read more

Fast, not bad. Good orange Chicken

Love this place. Love seeing the food prep area and especially how clean it it. Food to go is very easy to eat in the containers they give you for carry-out. Portion sizes are great for Guys read more

Good fast food. They need to recycle though, clean cups, bottles, forks, knives, etc. They also should not use styrofoam containers and plastic bags. read more

Just ran in to grab lunch in between rushes and it was very clean. Lady was very attentive. Only down falls are that my sweet and fire chickens and orange chicken taste almost the same and my rice does have much flavor. Some bites of rice are over cooked while some are under cooked. But I'll be coming back. read more

Place is horrible. Every time I've been the food was cold and mixed. Like noodles in my rice. Service is horrible and all around lazy. Avoid this location read more
