    Airport food, limited choices and you're a captive consumer once you pass security. Even fast food is twice as expensive inside the airport. I'm not a big fan of fast food but Panda seemed to be my best bet. There was a line and they were moving through the food fairly quickly; so it was being refreshed and restocked with fresh product often. Even though there was a line it moved quickly and the staff worked in a synchronized, conveyor belt fashion. The food was as expected and as it has been at the many other Pandas before.

    We all know what panda looks and tastes like. Because the airport traffic the dishes are slightly fresher. Be prepared to wait at time. Not sure if I am a fan of the new hot orange chicken. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable considering the airport premium. Wish they had more fortune cookies... they always happen to be sold out when I swing by.

    This is a very good Panda Express location. The food met my expectations, and the staff were very courteous and accommodating.

    Terminal A location

    This is the one in the Terminal A middle area, it was busy and their prices were ok, similar to what I pay in NJ. They didn't have mushroom chicken (sign, but nothing cooked), and if trying to avoid nuts and fried food, there wasn't much else (kung pao and walnut shrimp, the fried orange chicken, chicken w/ honey sauce, and spicy beef). Orange chicken had too much soy sauce making it taste weird and wasn't crispy like it should be. Beef broccoli was ok, though. I've had better! Also, no panda reward points here.

    I love Panda Express. Their food quality is very consistent across all restaurants all over the country....yes, there have been 1-2 that are not great, but this particular one at the Denver airport was really good. When I got to the restaurant around 10am there was only one person in front of me and I was able to order quickly. Unfortunately they did not have the teriyaki chicken dish, which is my favorite, so I had to settle for other dishes. I got half and half (fried rice and noodles) to give my mouth a nice sensory experience....yes, at any Panda Express, you can always opt to get 1/2 and 1/2 of any of the starches as well as the steamed vegetables. You have to ask for a fortune cookie, they don't give it automatically.

    Last week, I was on a 2 1/2 hour layover here at the Denver Airport. There are several choices, but I chose this one. The line was a little long, but went quickly still and was well worth the wait. Both lady and guy helpers were very nice and gave good service. Since this restaurant is in the airport, it is shared seating with all the other restaurants in the area. Decent seating, comfortable enough to finish your meal and go. They do seem to keep the front of their restaurant very clean. Their store front gives you the inviting and welcoming feelings. Now to the food! Everything looked really good! At this type of place, I always pick items that look fresh, have ample amount, if I can even still see steam coming, and when you actually see them put in a fresh bowl. So, my choice combo from here was Orange Chicken, Beijing Beef, and Chow Mein. It was all so fresh and yummy for my choices! Both main meats had little excellent spice kicks to them. They gave me enough to where I ate it all and was very full. I also did get the most humongously large drink and an order of 2 crispy spring rolls. Perfectly complimented my meal and even kept me full the rest of the day! Highly recommend! It's also my daughter's and my favorite when at the Denver Airport together!!!

    Hot food that's ready to-go, makes this a quick on-the-go that you need if you're in a hurry. Four stars compares this to relatively the same restaurants

    Timestamp of receipt

    Location is in A Gates for the Denver Airport. I'm only here for vacation. This location is understandably pretty busy, I had ordered 2 Bigger Plates. (1/2, B5 Beijing Beef, F4 Honey Walnut Shrimp, C3 Kung Pao Chicken) + (1/2 -chow Mein with mixed veggies, C1 Orange Chicken, CB3 Honey Sesame Chicken, cream cheese wontons) The Manager on site took order, I asked for mixed veggies & they had none but I let her know I was willing to wait. She seemed a little annoyed, it was a very long line and a rush but I was okay with standing aside to wait. The first plate was prepared, I waited for my second. She told me just to pay now and then they would get it out as soon as it's done. When I'm about to go to cashier, a man rushed in front of me and told another older lady who was handling the food on the second end of the food display, that his plate was incorrect and there was a language barrier. He seemed frustrated and walked away. (I think that's important to capture, it's already been chaotic experience then) At this point, I go to the cashier who seemed irritated as is, and already had my order rung up. (Her name was Andrea, per the receipt. For better description in case I'm wrong with the name, she was in her early 20s, has glasses, and braces. Working along side was this pretty girl same age range with good make up) Andrea asked if I wanted anything else. I told her a small drink then said never mind because the price was already $26.68 (assuming it was a high from having 2 bigger plates) After I stand to the side, I read my receipt and realize they charged me incorrectly (I've been charged 2 regular plates, I needed to get the 3rd entree to complete bigger plate) so I go to the girl w good make up n let her know because Andrea was cashing out another customer. Andrea then takes the receipt and says "no I asked her if she wanted anything else and she said no" The Manager then steps over and Andrea repeats it again in Spanish to the Manager, and at this point it's become a bigger issue than I imagined. I let them know I'll just take the order as is, because it was busy and charging me for the two other items just seemed like a hassle. Andrea makes another comment stating "it wasn't her fault." At that point I said that I understood it is busy and maybe that's why you rushed to put in my order for the plates so it's whatever. The entire time, Andrea was being very rude and never once spoke directly to me. Just comments to manager & coworkers. I stood to the side and waited for my food, as I watched the manager and 3 employees (ones I've stated previously) look over towards me, giggle, and whisper. I expect that from the employees but from the Manager is wild. Once I got my food, it was still wrong. I got fried rice instead of chow Mein and Manager did throw in a small entree.. but it's the principle at this point. I wasn't going to do a review but seeing as this is an ongoing issue with this location, it only seemed fitting. Food was fine, they didn't have everything that is labeled out on the line. Seems to be a common thing here, again looking at reviews. Service was terrible. Really bad way to represent not only Panda Express but the impression of how Colorado hospitality is too. I've also tried leaving a review on Panda Express direct site but it does not look like I have all information I need for it on this receipt.

    Fried rice with King Pao Chicken and Sweetfire Chicken Breast
    Brian T.

    Having a 3-hour layover at Denver International Airport, I asked myself, "What is the most filling yet affordable food around Concourse A?" Enter: the Panda Express plate. You choose 2 entrees and 1 side item for $8.30. Not a bad deal! Beware, though, certain entrees will upcharge you a buck or two! The fried rice is fair, and the Kung Pao chicken leaves something to be desired, but I love that they both contain vegetables. And although the kung pao chicken doesn't taste great, it has chili peppers cooked into the mix, providing some heat to my taste buds. The spiciness is necessary, considering your overall meal will be lukewarm. I have become a fan of the Sweetfire chicken! It doesn't offer up much meat due to the thick breading, but it tastes yummy and is easily the best part of my meal. If you're stuck at Denver International in Concourse A, looking for an inexpensive meal, and not in the mood for McDonald's, KFC, or pizza, then get in line at the Panda!

    Fast and convenient. Line was long but it went by pretty quick. The food itself was really bland. Like everything was super under seasoned.

    Heard so much about Raising Canes. Even tried to go into a new one in D.C. a few weeks before…read more Turned out it was so new it was opened yet. Anyway. Saw that there was one on the path to the Denver airport. I could gas up the rental car and get some chow before entering the land of over priced airport food. Look the service was fine and the food was ok. But there was nothing special about the chicken fingers or the fries, or the sauce for that matter. The tenders were lacking in any real flavor on their own. They need some spice. Same with the crinkle fries. As a delivery mechanism for the Outback Bloomin Onion style sauce thats about all you could say for the main dish and side. But I didn't even use all the sauce, so paying extra for more is right out. I found it interesting that you need to ask at the counter, and get a code, to use the restroom. It looked like a nice enough area, but obviously there must be a reason for it. We're due to get some of these restaurants near me, but I don't have any reason to go back. Chick-Fil-A, KFC, Popeyes, or Savvy Sliders all offer vastly better product. This is a 3 not because of anything bad. Just wasn't anything better than 2.5 average.

    I never thought I'd say it, but Culver's ButterBurger has officially overtaken In-N-Out for me…read more The cheeseburger was cooked perfectly juicy, flavorful, and served on a soft, lightly buttered bun that added an extra layer of richness without overpowering the beef. The cheese melted beautifully, and every ingredient tasted fresh and well-balanced. What really sets Culver's apart is consistency and overall flavor. While In-N-Out has a loyal following and delivers a solid burger, Culver's feels more substantial and satisfying. The beef has a richer taste, the toppings are fresher, and the buttered bun elevates the entire experience. In-N-Out is still a classic, but after this visit, Culver's takes the crown.

    I was really disappointed with my experience. We ordered two Concrete Mixers through DoorDash, and…read morewhile I understand delivery times can vary, the issue was entirely with the restaurant, not the driver. Our order took a long time because Culver's sent us a message through DoorDash saying our order was made incorrectly and would be remade at no charge. While I appreciated them acknowledging the mistake, it significantly increased the wait time. Unfortunately, after waiting even longer for the remake, our order still arrived incorrect. Mistakes happen, but it's frustrating to wait extra time for a remake only for it to still be wrong. I hope Culver's improves their quality control, especially for delivery orders.
