    Kung Pao Chicken with Brown Rice & Spring Rolls
    John S.

    It is fast food Chinese, however it is pretty good. On my most recent visit I had the Beijing Beef and Orange Chicken Plate with Fried Rice and Vegetable Spring Rolls. I asked to taste the Beijing Beef since it was listed as spicy before ordering and found it to be just the right level of heat to my taste. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside without being too done. The serving size was plenty for lunch.

    Chicken with mushroom, Beijing beef and raw white rice/raw fried rice. Thankfully, I did not get cracked teeth.

    Are they cooking rice at local kitchen or just serve cooked one at store? I ordered plate with half & half of fried and white rice. Both were still raw "uncooked" means most of rice were harder than "al dente", like "grain". Surprisingly, fried rice was looking fried and tasted but rice are almost raw. Is there anyone who can teach cooking rice? It is not so difficult.

    This was my second visit for lunch. I don't know why other yelp folks give poor reviews. The staff were very nice and helpful with my hard of hearing with that HUGE exhaust system they use. The menu was plentiful and was fresh looking and tasting. I arrive just before noon and by 12:30 I was done with my meal and the dining area was about 25% full but a line to order was getting long and to go pick up were plentiful. I enjoy my meal. The bathroom,soda area and tables in the dining area spotless. I will say the dining room was chilly to sit and eat.

    First let me say how much I love this restaurant. When I walked in the atmosphere was so inviting. It was quiet and calm with only a couple of people inside so it wasn't stressfully busy. It's so clean and neat inside as well. When I went to order, the staff were friendly and helpful and made sure my order was correct. I ordered the plate (it comes with 2 entrees and 1 side) and I got the Orange Chicken, the Honey Sesame Chicken, and the Chow Mein as my side. The food here is so delicious and fresh that it doesn't leave me feeling gross when I leave! Also for the price of the plate, the portions are amazing so you truly get what you pay for! All in all, if you want some good, fresh, and affordable food. This is the place!

    Ordered the Mongolian beef, Kung Pao chicken, had noodles and half rice and my goodness everything is terrrible! I only gave 2 stars because the girl at the drive thru window was super nice. The noodles were flat and so bland. The beef had so much sauce on it it overpowered everything and the chicken tasted straight like peanuts-nothing else. This was my second attempt at this location and I was not pleased the first time either. So I won't be back. Edited to add that I don't know how to DM a business. But no thank you anyway.

    Orange chicken and brown rice

    I've never been a fan of orange chicken until I started coming here. It is so delicious!! I usually just get it with white rice. Their chicken and spring egg rolls are also equally delicious. Their chicken teriyaki is also divine.

    Yeah, no self-respecting foodie would be caught reviewing a fast food, Chinese chain restaurant. And especially not someone who loves the finer points of Szechuan, Cantonese, and Hunan cooking styles. Well, sometimes you are in the mood for Chinese food, and fast and convenient are important. The Panda bear to the rescue. This Panda Express is a stand-alone building that is new and is aesthetically pleasing. I would encourage you to try with an open mind and realistic expectations. I studied the menu carefully, and settled on two item lunch. Fried rice, Pacific Chili Shrimp, and Green Beans with Chicken. In context, I thought my lunch was actually pretty good.

    Checked out the ole Panda today with my foodie buddy Paul. He beat me to it so I'm the 2nd to review. We both love Asian food and we both came here with an open mind. It was quite busy at lunch time on a hump day, but that's the best thing about these places. It's FAST! It takes longer for you to pay than it is to get your food because most everything is already cooked and sitting under the warming lamps. This is a brand new location on the corner of Lorna and Hwy 31 by the Galleria. The area is a booming with new construction and is being "revitalized" with a recent opening of Walgreens and Steak and Shake on either side. There is also a Whole Foods opening soon in the same parking lot. The exterior is beautiful with a surprisingly contemporary interior. There were clean booths, table, chairs and even tables with handicap access. Also worth mentioning are the bathrooms. I can't speak about the women's but the men's bathroom was spotless! Think mall food court but much nicer and with a nice restaurant type interior with a self serve soda machine and you have this Panda Express. Oh I forgot, they have a drive-thru! Now that's convenient. I haven't tried it so I can't attest to the wait times, but if the food is already prepared and you just choose from the list, surely it shouldn't take that long. Their menu is simple and their pitch is that you can create any combo you wish. They have a kids meals for $5. You have option of Bowl (1 entree & 1 side) $5.90, Plate (2 entreess & 1 side) $6.90 or Bigger Plate (3 entress & 1 side) $8.40. Your choice of sides are chow mein, fried rice, mixed veg, white or brown steam rice. I ordered the Bigger plate with their new Pacific shrimp, string bean chick breast, black pepper chicken with fried rice. They give you a healthy portion of fried rice. The shrimp was quite flavorful with large pieces of snap peas and bell pepper. The string bean chick breast was also flavorful and spicy. The string beans might've been a little over cooked sitting under the hot lamps but tasted delicious. The black pepper chicken was my favorite. It had generous pieces of white onions, celery and of course black pepper. Paul also got the shrimp and string bean chicken and he enjoyed his meal as well. My daughter tried the brocolli beef. She said "it tastes like beef and brocolli". I had a good time. This Panda Express certainly took the image of mall fast food out of my head because this location was a refreshing change. If the food we were served had been made fresh after we placed an order, I would've given this place an extra star. The food tasted as good as I would expect and the atmosphere was enjoyable despite the bustling afternoon lunch crowd. I'll try the drive thru next time.

    I arrived at the Hoover location at 11AM which is time this restaurant is scheduled to open. There was absolutely NO FOOD READY on the Hot Bar and along with myself and several other people we had to wait 30 minutes for our food to be cooked. When I asked who was the manager, the cashier said she wasn't sure. No one apologized for the delay and no one asked if we wanted courtesy drinks. They really need to improve their customer service skills. I gave it two stars because the food is good but they could use a major lesson in time management and customer satisfaction. After paying for my selections, I asked for a courtesy drink & received a small Mountain Dew. I would recommend this location but if you don't want to wait for your food to be cooked, try arriving at 11:30 AM instead of 11:00 AM.

    This place is a little too nice and clean to just be called a fast food restaurant, but the food is hot and ready when you walk in. The staff is all super friendly here, though I did have to get the cashier's attention more than once at the checkout. They have pretty simple menu options so even the fussiest eaters can choose something they like and order it every time they return. We all know someone like that LOL!

    Chicken egg roll (toasted)
    Alfreda B.

    Very disappointed that my chicken egg roll was overcooked and cold. This was the only item that was ordered, since I was craving an egg roll. I enjoy crispy egg rolls but not burnt egg rolls. This batch should have went in the trash. I gave 3 stars because the server was friendly and fast.

    All the vegetables were way undercooked. The shrimp tasted fine but everything else was hard to eat. Paid $8 for 5 shrimp basically.

    Food was just "ok" and the egg rolls were terrible. Few selections and grease laden.

    Stopped by Five Guys for a quick lunch with my niece and it hit the spot. I ordered a bunless…read morecheeseburger and it was still just as juicy and flavorful as ever--perfect if you're skipping the bread but still want that classic Five Guys taste. My niece got the little bacon cheeseburger and was all smiles the whole meal. The portions are generous (we shared the fries) , everything tasted fresh, and the staff was friendly. It's a simple, no-frills spot that's great for a casual lunch, especially when you just want a solid burger and some time to catch up. Service was quick and and I was back at work in time! Bonus: those free peanuts while you wait never disappoint!

I ordered a double cheese burger with a large with a lot of toppings on top of the burger. One of the cool things I saw with the community art board filled with other crayon masterpieces. Of course I had to add my great art as well. I love that this location made me feel like part of the five guys family. Overall I enjoy visiting five guys because I know I am going to get a top tier burger and great service.
