Interesting!! at this location the black pepper chicken is made to order. Since it's not a hot item here.. well no pun intended. It doesn't sell well I guess. We have been waiting more than 20 minutes for it . Other than that when an item is almost done, they replenish it. however, with the chow fun they put the old one on top of the new chow fun . I had to request for the new one. Gasp !!! It's casual & clean. You can also dine in .They have restroom available. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is the Panda Express at the Kamehameha Shopping Center. I wasn't expecting this place to be so busy. It was on a weeknight and the line was out the door. No joke! People must love Americanized Chinese food. There's nothing wrong with it. I quite like it myself. Out of all the Pandas that I've been to I received the best service from this location. The manager on duty was named Angel. I remember because she has the same name as me. She rang me up and asked if I was in their loyalty program. She scanned the code on my phone and asked if I wanted to use some of my points for a free entree item. Of course I did. I asked for sweet and sour sauce. She gave a generous amount, not just one or two packets. What I love about Panda is the food is always fresh. They cook them in small batches. They also have an open kitchen so you know everything is clean. My favorite items to get are the chow fun, super greens, teriyaki chicken, Beijing beef, black pepper angus steak and walnut shrimp. read more

Panda never disappoints, five stars with regard to a fast food restaurant chain. I love their rewards program and their food is consistently great. Whenever they have a new entree, they are more than willing to let me sample as well. I think their customer service is really awesome as well, lots of smiles and greetings whenever a patron walks in. My go to meal: Plate lunch with half rice (fried or white) and chow mein. Honey walnut shrimp and string bean chicken. With a side of cream cheese rangoons. Honorable mentions are obviously orange chicken, black pepper sirloin steak, or honey sesame chicken with a side of veggie spring rolls. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, I'd suggest hitting the super greens with broccoli beef, mushroom chicken, or black pepper chicken. I do appreciate their options for lower calorie meals, though it isn't 100% accurate because serving sizes definitely vary personally to person, it can be a great way to get a yummy meal in while not feeling too heavy after! TIPS & TRICKS: * I personally feel like a plate lunch feeds me twice, so I get even more bang for my buck. But if you really want to feel like you win big and don't mind eating the same thing for a few meals... get the family meal for $40. Three large entrees and two large sides! We brought it home and it fed two people for 5 meals, we also used our app to get a deal and ended up only paying $35. read more

Trying to be more health conscious with less starchy foods like rice and noodles when eating Chinese take out / fast foods. Panda Express has "super greens" which consists of broccoli, kale, cabbage instead of rice or noodles. In addition, had their chicken mushroom and beef broccoli. It was a pretty healthy and tasty plate lunch!! Price is very reasonable and they give generous portions! If you're not as hungry, my friend had their Bowl which had Super Greens & Chicken Mushroom! They were busy but the staff was quick and pleasant. I'll be returning for sure. Only critique I have is I hope they would add some sort of pork dish. read more

My dad is Panda Express NUMBA #1 FAN! Lol!!!! As the years pass, my elderly father no longer cooks so a great alternative is getting some Chinese fast food grub from Panda Express. Luckily there are many Panda Express outlets all over the island, and yesterday since I was working in the Kalihi area, I stopped by the Panda Express at the Kamehameha Shopping Center. This particular Panda Express location at the Kamehameha Shopping Center is pretty spacious, and the food selection is plentiful. Because this restaurant is in a major strip mall, finding free parking is easy. Depending on when you come here, this particular Panda Express can get pretty busy, but the staff here at Panda's is pretty efficient in processing the many hungry eaters who come here for their Chinese fast food fix. Quick Tip: Keep your receipt when you pay for your food, and go online & do the "customer survey feedback" so you can get a code to get a free entree the next time you come to eat at Panda Express. DEALAGES Yo! read more

Food is pretty consistent. They let split my starch with the cabbage/broccoli mix and I basically love that they have the fresh veggies. The girls were so sweet tonight I had to write them a review. I'll go back. read more

Got a bowl and a drink, they gave me my food and drink but never gave me my receipt when I asked for it and pointed at the thing that says a meal is on them they smiled and walked away so I'm obviously like wtf cause it literally says I'm suppose to get a free meal if they don't give me a receipt while I'm still at the register. The chow fun and orange chicken had no flavor which is shocking. It tasted very bland, but the PE by NEX is one of the best one for flavor ! read more

2.5 stars seems accurate. I know better than to have high expectations for fast food chains and I feel a bit silly writing a review for this place but here we are. The pros: Convenient location with plenty of parking Staff are fast and efficient The store is clean Prices aren't bad, especially when they have BOGO offers (I get these via email) Fast and convenient The cons: The flavor at just about ANY other Chinese restaurant is better I don't think food quality is a focus at this company Portion sizes are stingy IMO (see pics) Buying food here does not support small business After a long morning of being stuck on back to back calls, I was starving so I decided to use a BOGO bowl coupon to try the new Beyond orange Chicken. I like being able to order and pay ahead so I walked in and my food was ready. I was pretty disappointed to see that the portion of eggplant tofu was so tiny. It literally had only 2 pieces of tofu!! A few eggplant slices and peppers and mostly noodles (the entree portion was sitting on top of more noodles). The Beyond Orange Chicken was tasty and I love this new meat alternative offering. I hope more fast food restaurants will get on board with this. For the plant based people, planet and the animals. The mixed greens were utterly tasteless so I added sauces at home (chili garlic oil, hot sauce and oyster sauce). It's a decent quick meal option and probably slightly better nutritional value than McDonald's. I like how you can choose how healthy you eat here and the calorie content is included on the menu. read more

Picked up our 2 choices 1 with Chow fun and the other with noodles. I had the chow fun with Spicy pork & Beef broccoli which I enjoyed it was not too spicy and the Beef Broccoli was tasty and the broccoli not over cooked. The chow fun was ok I wish they put some mustard sauce in when you do take outs. My wife had the noodles with Beef & Tofu and Orange chicken which she enjoyed. Good thing we ordered a head of going down because there was a long line going out the door for customers wanting to order, for phone in orders they have a separate line so we were in and out real fast. We ordered for a fun raiser to help out a school! read more

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... I had a generous Panda Express gift card to use and I chose to redeem it at the Kamehameha Shopping Center location for our family's 4th of July dinner. With lots of free shared parking, this Panda Express is clean, modern, and efficient. I got three entrees: Beijing Beef (a bit spicy), Chicken with Green Beans, and Orange Chicken (my niece's favorite), and five drinks. My nephew and nieces were surprised with the drinks. I really wanted to get them "Panda Tea" - because they like pandas - but the tea machine wasn't working or they had run out. So, I just got the pre-poured drinks in the display. They turned out to be one strawberry lemonade, two raspberry lemonades, one mango lemonade, and one regular lemonade. Everyone liked their drink! I guess I should return and hopefully, "Panda Tea" will be available! read more

Cashier dropped our food by mistake. She's very nice and offered to replace it (as they should). But it was different lady who scooped the food. And the food she replaced it with, she only put half in the boxes. Lady, it's not like your pay will get affected or deducted from correcting this mistake!! I mean we paid for these by box not by weight, so we expect it to be full!! The first side order boxes were full, but the food that's replaced was only half full!! The young employees there are very nice, warm and friendly. It's the middle age Filipina lady in her late 40s who is dishonest and bad customer service!! read more

My husband and I decided to come today because our kids were craving orange chicken. I wasn't too thrilled having it be a Friday evening and pulling up only to anticipate long lines and a crowded dining area, but to my surprise, it was empty! Service was fast and friendly. There was no waiting for any of the dishes to be done cooking so we all got our food at the same time. The dining area was clean and well maintained and so was the soda fountain (no sticky mess). Food wise, Panda Express is the same whichever location you go. The only difference is when you can actually taste the rush rather than done correctly. read more

Give a little more care to the exactness of an order because food is an awkward thing. Not everyone likes shrimp or poke or sushi. More for you, none for me!

I didn't know that Panda Express had a tea bar. I tried the creme brûlée milk tea and it was just okay. It was a little too sweet... I'm not sure if there was an option to get it less sweet or not. I also added in boba and it wasn't that good. The boba was a little too hard for me. They have a wide variety of drinks at their tea bar! We also ordered a 3-entree plate. Not a bad deal compared to everything else on their menu. We got the broccoli beef, orange chicken, and eggplant tofu. For the side we did half chow fun and half fried rice. Their food is always so flavorful and delicious. The worker was also very nice and put our third entree in a separate bowl so that it wouldn't be overflowing in the plate. read more

I know it's a panda express, so I wasn't expecting much. Of all the locations I've been to, this location is the worst. Kids size portions, cashier lazily put my plate in a bag that would've flipped my plate of I didn't rearrange my own plate. The final straw was when I didn't get a fortune cookie. Never coming back to this location read more

didn't get out order correct. missed an entire order of eggrolls, didn't give us any sauce, and gave us 2 fortune cookies with no fortunes inside for 7 meals. also charged us for extra bags. overall 3 strikes not a good experience. read more

Food was typical Panda, service, not enough employees to handle the customers. My biggest gripe, napkins, I ordered 3 plates n a med side order orange chicken, he gives me 2, napkins, I ask for more, gives me 3 more. The female before him gave another customer at least 10 and he only had 1 1/2 plates. read more

I love this Panda location it is convenient with lots of parking! The staff is friendly and efficient! The store is clean and has ample seating available! Today my large catering order was orchestrated perfectly thanks to Adonis. He is so helpful and handles orders and customers in such a skilled way. Mahalo! read more

I've never been to this Panda Express, but I do love a good orange chicken bowl every now and then. I was in kalihi and decided pandas sounded good, so using my trusty yelp app, I found this school street location. Lol. I didn't even realize this place existed in Kam shopping center. The interior is pretty newly renovated. There are also plenty of seats, which is nice because I usually go to kapahulu where there are NO seats. They have high top counter seating and booths and regular tables. The have a lot of people coming in here, so you know the orange chicken is freshly made. It's not sitting around for hours like at some of the other locations. I honestly don't go to Panda Express very often, so I don't know if other pandas have this, but when I went to this Kam shopping center location; I found out that at least this panda now serves cooks drinks! They have milk teas with boba and other fruity drinks. The milk tea was decent, but the boba wasn't that good. I'd come back now that I know where the Panda Express is near kalihi. read more

Got to Panda's at 820pm which is a good 40 minutes before closing. We'll when I was choosing my entrees, I was told no more chicken and string beans and Beijing Beef. Also looking down the line, many of the entrees were gone. The explanation...they didn't want to make entrees because they're closing soon. Are you serious? A big order of orange chicken just came out as well as fried rice. What kind of business practice is this, especially from a large chain like Panda Express? I could see if it was a mom & pop small restaurant. The only reason why they got 2 stars instead of 1 is the girl gave extra large portions and was nice about it. read more

0 stars for customer service. I get it, it's 8pm and you close at 9pm so you don't want to make more of a dish. But don't say it out loud where the customer can hear you! Chris was asked to make more of something and got all irritated that he had to make more. RUDE! My husband ended up getting a smaller size so CHRIS didn't have to make more. read more

Ordered a Panda bowl today, with 1 choice, mushroom chicken and my starch was fried rice. When I opened my container, the fried rice took up more than 3/4 of the container. As you can see in the first picture, that's when I first opened my bowl. My second picture is after I took two bites. My third picture shows after I took another two bites everything was gone just fried rice. I hope management sees this and corrects it! Beware Panda Express School St. Skimping in customers!!! read more

They finally made a panda express in the Kamehameha shopping center. Right in the middle of everything rather then going pearlridge or ala moana. The parking lot is big but busy. It's pretty nice & big for this location. They also have a tea bar that the drinks are so refreshing. I just get the original lemonade or Thai tea. Every time we eat here it's always the same thing. Fried rice, orange chicken, mushroom chicken & honey walnut. For some reason I like this place better than the other one because all other panda express always runs out on what we order. This place keeps up so that they don't run out of food. Your also surrounded by many other food & drinks all over the shopping all. It sucks that Hawaii prices are way more then mainland. Two plates in California less then $15, here is about $20 For two plates. read more

Fried rice is yucky. Hard, not fully cooked. I'm not happy with it. Customers service is good

I've actually been here a few times but forgot to write a review. I don't go here by choice it's always because my kids want their Orange Chicken. I can't complain because by now I have it down to a science. I can feed all 3 of us for under 10$. How is that possible?!? I always get the 3 entree meal and for the starch I get half and half, so fried rice and vegetables. Then I get Orange Chicken, Ginger Fish, string beans and chicken. I usually have a redemption code from the receipt from the last time I was there which gives me the 3rd entree item FREE! So back to the rating, actually the food at panda is usually pretty good and consistent it's also a convenient place to pick up pans to take to potlucks and parties. The Kamehameha shopping center is actually new and clean and has a modern look to it and it has a full Tea bar which is awesome but the teas are pricey and will tack on an additional 3-5$ to your bill. My only issue is the inconsistency of customer service, sometimes they are over board and try to shuffle you down the line like cattle with prods too quickly. I know exactly what I want and ordered it...I then asked her can I try a piece of the steak entree because I might get it next time...I was totally ignored and my plate was handed directly to the cashier and she told me you go pay now! LOL I just shook my head and paid because I'm not going to make a big deal out of it but sometimes it's in the details, like listening to your customers. Oh well no problem I'll be back I'm sure as soon as my boys are craving orange chicken! I'll try again to get to try something else. read more

So literally my favorite Panda location yet. It's so clean in there and looks so nice. Their food is always fresh, as usual but I love that they have a mini tea bar! Not to mention they have my absolute fave chow fun. Not all locations offer chow fun. I've come in here a lot lately and the workers are all friendly which you don't always get. Totally recommend this spot! read more

This is the main Panda Express that me and my family order from. It's close to our house and Kam shopping center has lots of parking. They can get pretty busy at peak times and that's understandable. The food is always tasty and most times fresh. The workers are okay and it's always clean. I like their Panda Bar, where you can order drinks from and they're not all that bad to be honest. We also "cater" party platters from here too. read more

Great place and spacing. Always love their food. Their popular orange chicken never gets old but For those of you who loves sweet and sour and a little kick of spice into their food, try their Beijing beef. Absolutely amazing. The employees are great and comfy to talk to. An improvement they can make Is their prices. They also have a new panda tea bar and it's good. Just the price of a Small* size green milk tea would be over $3... And large is almost $5-6. But overall just yolo it sometimes and don't bad afraid to try different things. Their food is always good :) read more
