Several major issues: 1. Tables were unclean. Not just one but three out of eight tables in the room. 2. Had to wait 40 minutes to get food because they had to cook every other time. This was not even lunch time. No reason for them to be unprepared. 3. Understaffed- only 1 person serving, one chef, and one cashier. Lost valuable time of traveling because of these major delays. At least the blonde in front me was awarded an extra spring roll for "waiting too long" Good thing I didn't expect the same treatment or I'd be disappointed for not getting a roll. read more

This is my first time at panda Express and I'm kind of disappointed. I got the broccoli beef and orange chicken with chow mein because that was pretty much all they had. They were out of string bean chicken, kung Pao chicken, mushroom chicken, Beijing beef, Shanghai Angus steak, and black pepper chicken. The employees were nice though. Chow mein was cold. But the proteins weren't bad. Hoping I caught them on a bad day guess I'll order ahead next time read more

Humongous thumbs down the food was disgusting my noodles were doughy and the chicken was slimy that's disgusting and they didn't have any straws read more

Food was ok tonight, but they didn't have any white rice?!?! It was 6:30pm. How do you not have white rice? Pretty big component of Chinese cuisine. Heard numerous people ask for it while we wait, so it wasn't a lack of demand. How long can it take to cook some rice? read more

I went to get my husband something for dinner, but I only had $11 on me & wasn't sure if that would be enough for what I knew he wanted. (Shanghai Angus Steak &/or Sweet Fire Chicken) So when it came time for me to order, I kind of hesitated & then I apologized & explained why. Without missing a beat she said, "Don't worry about that. If you go over, I'll take care of the rest personally." I ended up having enough, but her offer was so unexpected; I was pleasantly surprised! Kindness is so hard to come by these days. Her name was Bea. read more

So i go in for lunch today. The girl behind the counter says ill b right with u. Im the only one in line. She procedes to finish with the trash can while i wait. Finally she says how can i help u. Orange chicken. Fried rice. Get to the register she says do u want to eat it with a spoon or chopsticks? Um neither. I left pissed. Wasted 15 mins of my lunchbreak. Ate at golden wok. The rude girl at panda didnt even apologize read more

If you are craving Chinese food and don't want to wait you can give this place a chance, but don't expect much! You'll get better food and it will always be fresh of you stop at one of the many small hole in the wall Chinese food places around town. It doesn't take that long to make any of the standards that Panda Express has...orange chicken, Kung po chicken, etc. Make the most of your money and time and go somewhere else. Also, unless they make them right before your eyes, pass on the wontons! read more

At 630 on a Sunday they were out of most items!!! What is the point of even ordering if you can't get what you want??? Go to first wok or chans hot wok!!!! Much better food and service! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Walked in at 8:00 tonight knowing they closed at 9:00. Totally out of several entrees including the popular orange chicken. Asked if they were going to make more and they said they are done cooking entrees for the night. No more cooking an hour before closing? Ridiculous and unacceptable! Short term profit moves result in long term lost business. read more

I was really surprised by this place. My husband and I tried this restaurant on a whim and expected the food to be the same caliber as those cheap Chinese fast food restaurants in the mall. You know, the ones that are always trying to lure you in with soggy free samples? But the food was fresh and the atmosphere contemporary. Not to mention that we didn't have to deal with the mall food court crowd. I found myself mesmerized by the beautiful tiling behind the soda fountain and the bathrooms were clean and the fixtures up to date. I had the Orange Chicken and the Beijing Beef while my husband had the Shanghai Angus Steak and the Sweet Fire Chicken. The Orange Chicken was pleasantly crispy while coated in a tangy, slightly sweet and mildly spicy sauce. I can see kids loving the Orange Chicken. The Shanghai Angus Steak was amazingly tender and the sauce was amazing. The prices were very reasonable and the portions HUGE. We were able to order two entrees, an eggroll, pot stickers and two medium sized fountain drinks for about $20. The staff was friendly and prompt. We have since been to this restaurant three times and plan on making this a frequent stop. read more

Never again will i come here there food made me sick to my stomach the service sucks 0/10 I will never recommend this at all

Cheep not great China place that my wife and I thought was kinda bland Staff was nice place was clean food just fast food Chinese! My 3 year old loved it other then that not much to say. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Ordered online. Went in to pick up my order. They had already given my order to someone else then accused me of not having an order there or even at that location. It took them 45 minutes to re make my order. Employees were extremely rude and slow. We will never return to this panda express ever again read more

I wanted to say I just came in here and the worked named Sydney was very cheerful and happy. Honestly I wish more jobs had people like this. She made the atmosphere very welcoming! read more

Ordered ahead of time to cut wait time. It took 45 minutes! They got 3 orders done in that whole time. The kids working the line were incredibly flustered... perhaps some retraining needs to be done... this was not just a one time thing read more

My husband likes this place, so we stopped by today. Spent $15 for two meals without drinks. When we got home, they gave us the two same entrees instead of the ones we ordered. My husband is not happy, as they gave me two of my shrimp entrees and he can't eat shrimp. Now we are 15 minutes away, with no money, or food my hubby can eat. read more

Super disappointed. I have visited this location multiple times in the past, and had no issues, but in recent months things have taken a serious turn. I usually like to stop here after grocery shopping on Sunday mornings because it's centrally located and (in theory ) quick. I never like to make a quick judgement so I've given them a chance the past THREE weeks. The first week I arrived at about 11:30 and the doors were locked and no one would greet me. I figured this was an honest mistake because of the time change, so I brushed it off. The next week they were open, but it was a nightmare. The employee on the line must have been new because they didn't know what was happening and gave me food to go with NO LID because they couldn't get the lid to attach. Half the food wasn't ready, and none of the tea. Then today I tried again. They open at 11 (in theory) and I was there at about 11:15 and again the doors were locked. There was an employee in side, they ignored me, but when another family attempted to enter, they came to the door and stated that they would not be opening until later but did not offer any explanation. Guess I'm gonna have to try to find egg rolls elsewhere. read more

Not impressed with the Florence Ky store. I have been a long time fan of the Panda and anxiously waited for our local store to open. Oh my, are you serious! We have visited the store 3 times and what a let down. Couldn't eat what we were served the 1st two times and walked out the 3rd because of lack of service and displayed food. As I mentioned previously, I have been dining with Panda Express for the past 5 years during my travels to Indianapolis and Columbus. We finally had one open in Cincinnati about a year ago that I went to frequently but when one finally opened near my home I was excited. What a shame to open a new location without bringing in experienced staff that knows what they were doing. By no means am I knocking Panda Express " it is great food for the price" just the local chain. PLEASE, PLEASE fix our location. read more

One of my favorites. Just moved here from San Diego CA and I was so glad to see one out here. If something isn't cooked right they will fire it up fresh for you. Also ask for the pot stickers right away or call in ahead of time. They only make them when ordered. And they are awesome. I think because it's so new out here not everyone gets it or likes it. But it will probably grow on yall. Orange chicken , rice and soy sauce mixed in the rice is my top meal. Give it a shot. (: read more

Alex M-That link works, however.. I spent 30 minutes explaining my experience but when I click to send, it clears my entire review. Somehow Im not surprised. Just ask May how she treated me that week. She can fill you in. Im there 2x week for lunch. Im going to Thai Chili now. read more

I really like Panda Express and I've always liked the food at any location- occasionally I've gotten an item that isn't hot but just warm here but overall I like it- I consider this fast food Chinese... Not "authentic" take out Chinese - they are two different things. One of the workers here is especially friendly when I brought my child in alone he helped us to our table and filled up our drinks and stuff so I didn't have to leave my daughter alone! Great service read more

I did not like the food at all this evening, first off when we went in I noticed that there was maybe 3 peace's of broccoli in the vegetable mix and it was only a half scoop left, { didn't want to wait } so I just got the rice. I also noticed that a lot of the good on display was dried out and did not look good at all. I got the teriyaki chicken once we got home we noticed that the food was cold and old food, the rice was not cooked right and was not all the way done. I'm not happy at all about this and hope this post gets to management or corporates that this can be fixed. read more

Excellent sauces. The Beijing beef is amazing! Fresh veggies, fresh food. I wouldn't be deterred by those few 1 star reviews. If they are low on an item, they are already in process of making more. Which means you get the yummy stuff straight from the wok. Very clean environment, always nice employees. I would venture to say this is my favorite place for Chinese take-out. read more

Love Panda Express. They always go out of the way to make sure everything looks good and I'm happy with the service. They always do what they can for my picky eater. Food is always fresh read more

I went to Panda Express today and got food and they were only offering things that were already made and it was 9 so I do understand but charged my friend the same price and a little more when they said it would be 50% off. We sat down and starting eating and my first piece of chicken I eat was brown/pinkish inside and I didn't know what to do. It was not a very good experience to be a completely honest and the employees were a little rude also. read more

I went with high expectations. A Chinese food chain SHOULD be good. Don't waste your time or money with this place! I ordered the Black Pepper Chicken and the (something) beef with chowmein a side of crab reguin(sp) with an order of spring rolls. The chowmein was dried out so bad it was rock hard. It literally crumbled when I would use my fork. The crab reguin was the same, extra stale and ice cold! The chicken was just gross all the way around. The best part, the beef. Not enough though for me to ever go back. I don't see this place being open for to much longer! If you're looking for Chinese try any of the other billion places in the area but skip this one! read more

Although I'm not a big fan of Chinese restaurants, I do really enjoy this chain. Some workers here really have it together, and there a couple that I'm not sure really know what they're doing. I'm usually here around dinner rush hours, and our service/meals are usually satisfactory at this time of day. read more

I expect this place to be open for just about another 90 days... That should sum it up. Nothing like rock hard rice at a Chinese restaurant.

BEWARE! I'm So disappointed in this panda express! We arrived at 10:55 AM they had opened at 10:30. There was virtually only 30% of the menu items ready for sale. Everything you tried to order they said they did not have and that it would be a long wait while they prepared. There were four workers only one was cooking two were walking around doing nothing and one was taking orders very rudely! I waited over 30 minutes for one entrée. When they finally gave me my teriyaki chicken it was just grilled chicken with no sauce. That is not teriyaki chicken that's just chicken! I took it back to the counter and ask where the sauce was and they said oh we have to heat it up - they had not even made the teriyaki sauce yet! And it was not ready for another 12 minutes! This is supposed to be a fast food restaurant! Not a 45 to 50 minute process to get your order. I will never ever ever ever ever ever darken the door of this pathetic excuse for a restaurant again!!!! read more

This was the dirtiest place I have ever seen. It looks like they clean it only once a year. It gets worse the outside was like a garbage truck just puked on . read more

Very happy every time I go. I usually visit between 12:30-1:30pm. Even during lunch rush they do a good job keeping food fresh and refilled. Portions seem right for the price. read more

On New Years Eve at 7:25pm I pull up to this location and employees are cleaning and the doors are locked. I tried to call their number and it's busy. I sat in my car for about 10 minutes calling other locations. The other locations closed at 8:00. The time I sat in my car I watched three other vehicles pull up and try to go in. They were still getting customers so I'm not sure why they closed so early. read more

Just came back from Panda Express and it's consistently good in my opinion. I ordered something that was not available and they brought it freshly done to my table. My favorites are the orange chicken and the Kung-pao. This last one is spicy but nice. read more

Will not be returning. The Chinese food place at the mall is better, but this was lacking a lot. The orange chicken was okay, which is what passes for General Tso around here. Barely warm. Fried rice was barely warm as well with absolutely no flavor. Dry too. Expensive. Friendly staff, but that is it. read more

Ordered sweet and sour chicken meal. Only got 4 small pieces of chicken. Hardly a meal and wasn't worth the money. I would recommend any other Chinese place. read more

The first time having panda the food was so good I wanted to go back again. I returned weeks later and the food was horrible tasted like a child tried cooking their first meal, I couldn't believe it the rice was hard no flavor the meat was warm there were no veggies, half the pans were empty. It was just horrible I was so upset with how the food was presented I got my money back I wouldn't recommend this place this place should not be considered Chinese it's more like a piece of crap. I've noticed they don't have set cooks anybody could cook the manager should taste his product before allowing them to dish out dog food lol to customers lol. This placed is better off being a McDonald's to replace this business. Don't waste your money go somewhere else. read more

Passed this place several times before actually trying it out. Glad I decided to stop in! Ordered half rice-half noodles with black pepper chicken. Very good! Portions are large so I would recommend getting it in carryout container or splitting the meal. read more

Let's start by saying, I love Panda Express. Their food is fantastic... When it's available. I walked in today at 11:55am, right before the lunch rush, to get a fairly simple meal... Half white rice, half veggie, and two common dishes (beef and broccoli and mushroom chicken). They were out of both main dishes and told me it would be 5 mins. I said fine, I can wait, at least it will be very fresh. To their credit, they offered a free soft drink. So, 15 minutes pass, and no food. I walk to the counter to ask where everything is. Mushroom chicken was made, but no beef and broccoli. She said it would be 10 mins to make beef and broccoli, so I go to change my order because I can't keep waiting. They are now out of steamed veggies. Mind you, the two cooks were cleaning instead of cooking this whole time. So after 15 mins of waiting, I got about half of what I ordered. I don't know if the management is being cheap and understaffing or telling employees not to cook until ordered to prevent waste or what the deal is, but you should have a fully stocked line when lunch rush is about to hit. I'll continue to love Panda but would think twice about this location. read more

So after a long work day I go to relax in my hotel room right. After a while I start getting hungry actually starving. The fat kid comes out for some reason idk maybe it's because I was bored so my appetite spiked. Anyways I get on GPS & search nearby restaurants then the I come across Panda Express. My mouth is salivating for some of that orange chicken. Quickly throw on some clothes hop in my truck & cruise on down to the ole Panda. Walk in ready to smash on some food. Get up to the counter & the lady says what may I get for you today. Of course I already know what I want. Two orders or orange chicken & chow mein. She immediately says we're out of orange chicken & our kitchen is closed so we won't be able to make anymore. Right then & there all my hopes & dreams are crushed I mean absolutely shattered. I told the lady I guess I'll go somewhere else. So now I'm sitting at Hooters drowning my sorrows in Budweiser since they don't have some good ole Busch Light. I mean it was 8:50 you don't close till 10:00 something seems off about closing the kitchen that early. Maybe it's because you're in a rush to get out of there back to your boring ass life. How the fuck does Panda Express not stock up their Orange chicken before they close the kitchen. Poor management skills. Over it. A hard working American getting fucked again. read more

greeted very pleasantly, order was filled quickly, there was no delay getting my order the food was there, the server filled my plate right away and I was able to eat and get back to work, cost is reasonable read more
