The first Drive-tru location i've visited, but I decided to dine-in instead. Came here on a Saturday evening and almost all their food was out. This was a first, because never have I come across a Panda Express that had almost zero food ready. On top of that, their "fresh veggies" were burnt. I only knew this because the staff server advised that I don't pick it. And if I wanted more options that I would have to wait a variation of 10-15 minutes depending on which item and how many other items I wanted that wasn't available. This was disappointing because only 3 things were available besides the fried rice, chow main, and "burnt" veggies. They did have their honey walnut shrimp, but only had 2 pieces left. I will never understand their portions for that entree, especially since they charge extra for it. I'm not one to ride on someone else's review, but a lot of people were right. no food ready, and they are more willing to have people wait for more food to be cooked. Either cooked smaller portions to avoid wasted food, or cook larger to last throughout the day. Especially for more popular of choices... read more

The food ALWAYS has gristles in it, and service is pretty nice, and I didn't care for the ambiance but usually dirty seats. Note for Panda Express: Hey get better chickens, and get a better cleaning service. read more

Approx 2 pm on a Saturday Why serve this crab Rangoon? Don't be playin'. How does that happen? It is crab ran-gone! read more

Panda Express - Crab Ran-gone! - Chinese Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

I was very disappointed with this Panda Express. I don't know if it's the volume of customers they have, but their food quality is sub-par and their selections are limited compared to others. I got the family pack to-go and it is nicely packed and carries well for the car. Now let's talk about the food. The chow mein was very dry and felt like it had been sitting there for a while. It needed a couple packets of soy sauce to give itself some flavor and moisture. The egg fried rice had overcooked eggs and the rice was also dry as well. You would think with their volume they would be turning over or producing fresher food, but I am baffled by the quality. The signature orange chicken was the only item that was good. I also tried the honey chicken and that was a disappointment as the breading used for it is flavorless and over battered. It tasted more like I was chewing batter than I was chicken. They gave me plenty of packets containing forks and napkins, but the way they pack them all but one of the packets had opening during transit or they were already opened, so I didn't feel comfortable using them. I am beginning to see why their rating on Yelp is barely average. It's sad because I have been to many of these establishments and this one takes the cake for the poorest food quality. read more

Panda Express - Family pack. - Chinese Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

The second main dish that I ordered was not ready until we had completely finished eating, could not get a refund. The food is very bland, not traditional seasonings. Employees were very rude. One guy looked right at me & walked away. Will never go there again! read more

The food is good, and that's the only reason they get one star. We walked in and no one acknowledged us. The staff was talking to each other, wiping counters, etc. We stood there for five minutes (no line or people in front of us) and never got waited on. So we walked out, and went to eat somewhere else. Thanks for nothing. I don't understand why customer service is so difficult these days. read more

The costumer services at front is the worst ever... they look like they measure the food, if they see that they put a lot of food they remove food , even if it is a little bit they still remove it, so you can get more plates and spend more more... you guys lost like 10 Clients today read more

Recently visited this location in Elizabethtown. It was about 3 pm, but Panda was a busy place for the time of day. We decided to go through the drive thru. On the sign they had labeled that they were out of quite a few things, including teriyaki chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and angus steak among others. It really seemed like they were out of a lot of things. We place an order for two plates from among what they still offered. The person in the drive thru was friendly and it did not take too long considering there were several cars in front of ours. When we got home, however, one of our orders (mine) was wrong. I ate it anyway, but next time I may just order inside so I can check my order as they fix it. read more

My review is mostly based on service. My kids and I had a long day and it showed, they were being awful and not listening. The main cashier was so patient and understanding even offering me free egg rolls to try and lessen the blow of my unruly children. We love panda always have. I always have a good experience here but our recent trip made it stand out. read more

Been to this location twice in the last month and both times they were out of teriyaki chicken. This past Sunday I went there they were out of sesame chicken, and orange chicken also. I used to like Panda Express but they've really gone down. I realize it's probably supply chain issues but it's getting ridiculous. read more

I go here at least every 2 weeks. Amazing food. I love fried rice and orange chicken. The only reason it's not a 4 star is because the drive through sucked. Every time we go we literally wait at the speaker for 10 or more minutes before they take our order busy or not. Once they take the order it's pretty much ready when we get to the window. They are always nice. read more

3/11/2023 Ordered through app, food was late and items were missing. After seeing the delivery driver and his vehicle I'm concerned about eating the food after it had been sitting in his vehicle. Even better! I started eating, I got the shrimp with vegetables as one of my items. It looked like it came out of a microwave and the vegetables were all stems! Ordered a couple weeks ago through the app, food was late, items were missing and I could see across the parking lot that my drink was wrong, it was orange and I'd ordered rootbeer. The driver was not the driver listed and he looked like he should be in a halfway house. I think I'm done with this Panda Express. read more

I'll just repeat what others have already said. Worst Chinese food in the area. My chicken tasted like it was cooked in 2 week old oil and I'm pretty sure the fools forgot to cook the rice. Pitiful. read more

Every time I have been to this location they consistently don't have items that are on their menu or have those items ready at opening. Always have to wait in the drive through to have to order with no line. Worst location in the chain read more

They did not open at 10 due to staffing and said to come back at 1030. I came back, still not open. This is a repeat problem for them. They are often out of items as well. read more

All of the pandas that I have been to in multiple cities and states over the past six years are getting quite stingy with portion size as they increase the prices- but this one took the cake when I went the other day to get a plate and the clerk put less than one scoop of rice and less than one of chow mein in the container, less than one of the two sides and then the third that wouldn't fit (it totally would have fit!!) she put in a side container with at least a1/4" of space left at the top. I asked her to fill it up and she said it was full and they don't let them fill it up anymore. I was mad and left! I did not buy anything and that is the last time I will ever go back to any of them again- the food isn't even that good anymore anyway. There was a time when they could barely close the lids they were so full and we went at least twice a week! Now I barely go twice a year and it looks like I'm done altogether now. It's just not worth it! read more

This is my second time and this experience was worse then the first. The little girl don't remember her name but if I did I would write it in caps. Very very rude and disrespectful. While placing order she messed it up when respectfully letting her know she catches an attitude. I asked for fried rice without eggs in it because I'm allergic and she said we can make it for you but I don't want to so it's is white rice or order something else. I asked to speak to the manager and was told they were not in the building but you can wait but they probably won't be back for at least an hour. This panda express is the worst. I give them a negative -20 rating. Bad service, bad food over all terrible company. read more

We rolled up drive thru, they gave us a minute to make our decision. They were fast and helpful. The food was okay, not the greatest. But decent for drive thru food. read more

The food was bland did not really have a taste and the temperature was on the cold side. I will not be going back anytime soon.

Every time we go in there we never get helped. They're too busy helping the drive-thru and the Door Dashers. They also don't have any food. This time they had no chow mein and no fried rice. They weren't making any more either even though the employee called for them to. There were three employees standing in the kitchen door yapping to each other and doing nothing. One of them walks over to the cooking area dragging her feet saying she wants to go home. Girl you might as well. This place has become an absolute joke. That sucks too since we bragged about this place when we finally got one. Embarrassing! How they even stay in business is beyond me. read more

One of the worst Panda Express I've been to. Have half the entrees out of stock, cash only, and drive thru only. Staff was rude and not helpful. read more

This is my second time coming to this location because my kids love this place, every time I come they are out of what I order and I have to wait. It is 1pm on a Saturday near lunch time, I have been waiting 7 min already, and my food has yet to come out. Pretty irritating. I don't think it's too much to ask for to have the items on the menu available for customers. read more

Wow! There are a lot of bad reviews of this place concerning their poor attitude, slow service, shortage and quality of entrees. I've been here several times and yes I have experienced the slow service but didn't mind the wait, which definitely is longer than one would expect from a "fast casual" restaurant. I don't really fault them for the quality of their food since at best it is average to below average. It does bare some semblance to Chinese food much like Taco Bell is to authentic Mexican food. While they are consistently running low on the popular dishes, the food at this location taste like all the other Panda Express restaurants I've eaten at, greasy and a little too sweet. The best example of their vaguely Chinese inspired food is their new sichuan hot chicken which is nothing more than chicken tenders covered with a weird "hot" sauce. The prices are about the same as independent mom and pop Chinese restaurants except for the white steamed rice which cost the same as all the other sides. Odd. If you want average Chinese food at a normal price, and have the time to wait then Panda Express is a good choice. read more

NEVER have anything ready, literally nothing. It's beyond ridiculous at this point that we even still attempt to go there. This location is terrible, we waited for 20 minutes in the drive thru to find out they didn't even have the most basic of items. Put a sign out or an employee to say hey before you wait in this ridiculous line we were out of everything but no, let the people wait in line to then tell them. read more

I have tried this place several times hoping that it would get better unfortunately this hasn't happened. The service has gotten worse and the food never seems to be hot, only warm. Think it's time to give up on them improving. Hopefully, Corporate will get this place up to the standard of the other PE's I've visited in Louisville. read more

I placed an online order at 2:30 pm for pickup at 4:30. The order was not ready and I had to wait for a side-dish on the order to be cooked. The excuse at the store was that they only get the order printout 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Then I had to wait for them to fill all the walkin orders before they started mine. My order was ready by 4:42. Not a huge wait, but it would have been just as long a wait if I had just walked in. Giving them a hard D for not training their staff to check online orders as they come in. read more

When you are craving Chinese this is a go to. The price is good and so are the portions. It's pretty clean in there and fast. Go during a meal time for fresher food. They have lots of options so there's something for everyone. Even some super healthy options! read more

This drive thru is what you call a "captive drive thru" once you get in, there is no way to get out. Landscaping and hills on one side. Restuarant building on the other. I waited for 25 minutes in the long line until it was my turn at the speaker to order food(which at this point I am captive in the line)when the person says " We are only accepting cash at this time, go ahead with your order..." to which I responded "Excuse me? I don't carry cash. I've waited 25 minutes in this line and now your telling me cash only? I can't even get out of line." At this point I am unbelievably pissed!!!. I WILL NEVER EAT FROM THIS RESTUARANT AGAIN! They should have set a sign out or something. You shouldn't treat your customers like this, if you want them to be future customers again. They could have offered to give me the meals & take my information, to come back the next day and pay the bill. Something, anything other than "sorry, cash only sir" EAT ANYWHERE ELSE IN ETOWN. Zero stars for customer service, I had to select one to post review. ZERO STARS! read more

Who advertises "it's here" and when you order it you are told we don't have that it's just advertising. Then the portion size of the regular plate and portion size of the bigger plate were exactly the same. My wife and I were so frustrated we literally counted the chicken in both boxes and they were the exact same. I think it's time to find another place to eat! And to cap it off what "Asian inspired" restaurant runs out of white rice?! read more

Panda Express - a plate of fried food on a table - Chinese Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

I ordered a big plate and literally it was almost half full I ordered just noodles and chicken and my plate it was so empty it's crazy how can they take it vantage of people like that read more

Horrible for vegetarians, the only thing available is rice and veggies which are cut into HUGE pieces so you have to eat enormous pieces of broccoli, etc. and the veggies are totally BLAND. The chow neon is not vegetarian, btw. And the manager was basically like "whatever". Until I asked for a refund which he was nice about. Won't ever ever ever be back. Ever! read more

Slower than pond water. During lunch hours drive thru could eat up a ton of time since they literally process one customer at a time.

worst chinese restaurant ever! not small, but tiny portions of food . the quality of what you get it terrible . our broccoli was even freezer burned. not worth a dime I paid for it. how does this place even. stay open. I'm completely furious . the entrees are even tiny. don't do it! you will regret it. never, never again. read more

NO POTSTICKERS??? Well, what exactly is the point then??????? Location very recently opened in a small, brand new building in the Hobby Lobby / Academy Sports / BW3 shopping area. They're still in opening mode, so they're staffed to the gills and getting premade food out hot and, well, pretty much exactly what you'd expect if you've ever been to a Panda Express before. The TL; DR, if you're not already familiar with the chain (which is, for me only useful because of the ability to get so-so flavored, piping hot potstickers without getting out of the car), it's basically Chi-merican with a fast food model, usually including drive-thru. Menu is organized around meals, where you pick from one to three protein items (from a limited menu) and a starch (chow mein, fried rice, plain rice) at the drive thru menu and staff get it all clamshelled for pickup at the window. Wait times weren't excessive and (having overheard orders from several cars in front of me) the cashier was doing a good job of explaining options or confirming customers knew an item contained peanuts or whatnot. There is an eat-in area which appeared clean and comparable to Chik-fil-a or the Arbys on the Dixie (which, I guess, would be a leg up on some of the in-town Chi-merican competition, if you were looking for a place to eat). For the quantity of food, more expensive than local carryout Chinese places. Given all of the options, it was annoying that the person putting my order together gave me the red glop for my appetizer order (which I'd said I didn't want) and forgot the extra soy sauce (which I requested). The texture of their eggroll wrappers is more like a deep fried taco shell (no, not in a good way). It was uniformly 'Meh.' I can't imagine that the convenience of the drive thru will come close to competing (even in Etown) with existing better Chi-merican carryout. read more

This place was slow months ago from a dasher perspective and here we are months later and still slow. Can't make money when accepting this restaurant. They don't start your order till way after you arrive and have been standing around for a while. Food takes forever to cook. They're so slow so I've never even bothered to try the food. Dissatisfied all the way around. read more

I love good Oriental food. However, the past few times I've been to Panda Express I felt rushed and my food left a lot to be desired. My egg rolls had to be cooked for me because they were out, but they were cooked so long, they were crunchy and hard to eat. They were an hour from closing but I felt rushed. Not sure I'm going back. read more

My goodness. Is this the Panda Express to hell? Or just to the nearest bathroom? When I opened the box and saw my order my colon groaned in protest just from the looks of it. It is amazing that it's legal for you guys to make this for public consumption, and even more so that the public hands over money in exchange for it. Next time my children make a dinner suggestion they are gonna get punched in the face. read more

Pretty good. The orange chicken was great so was the shrimp. Angus steak was a little tough and chewy. Rice was good but dry. Cho mein was also very dry. Overall it was a good meal. Staff very friendly and helpful. read more

This is the third time someone in my family or myself has gone to this location and they either don't have stuff or ran out (which when it is busy I understand). Not only were they out of stuff, when I got up the the order menu The woman working informed me they were closing 6 minutes after I finally pulled up (so 8pm) and the hours say they're open until 8:30... So They were out of stuff they simply didn't have which again I understand due to shortages, but they also only have single servings of very few things. Disappointed and probably won't ever go to this location again unfortunately. Do Better. read more

worst food I've had in Kentucky, just kidding the food here is to be desired. Don't eat at the one in Elizabethtown the very rude lady, had a horrible attitude about replacing uncooked chicken. The manager then took the chicken, and recooked it. I could have been sick, all because a lady had to wait for new chicken. I've not heard from their so called customer service read more
