I was craving Panda today and when I walked in NOBODY was there. Victor greeted me and quickly took my order. I couldn't decide what size to get and he was very knowledgeable on his portion sizes and what would satisfy me best today. He was very personable and helpful. At the end of my transaction I realized that there was Mexican coke and I ordered one of those and he offered to get me a colder one from the back! I know that's right Victor! Thank you so much. Such a breath of fresh air relating to customer service! Wishing you success in whatever you do read more

Panda Express - Not a paid review - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Stopped here for lunch and ordered take out. No greeting upon entering for me and a few other customers. This placed lacked customer service. The food was good and hot which is the reason for the three stars. I ordered chow mein, teriyaki chicken and Beijing beef. read more

We stopped because we needed to order to eat elsewhere. Both of our children have used this location, but we never had. Our meals were both tasty, enjoyable, and reasonably healthy. We will be very comfortable returning. read more

Just came to this location at 9:20 and they only have like 4 selections to choose from. All dried up. I ask are they bringing anything new out and they inform they are thru cooking for the night although they close at 10. Smh. So we stop cooking 40 mins before closing. That's insane read more

Well to start off, the cashier, Evelyn, was great. She was friendly and asked if I wanted any sides or sauces. Unfortunately the 2 girls working at the start line were very rude and didn't seem to know how to answer any questions. I let them know that I wasn't sure where to start ordering because I had never been there. The girl just stared at me and until the other girl saw and said you start over here. After we ordered our bowl and plate I asked if I could order a single side of teriyaki chicken and again the girl just stared at me and said nothing. The other girl stepped in again and said no, you have to order a bowl or plate. Thankfully I made it to the cashier, Evelyn, and she did a great job finishing our orders. The 2 girls laughed and snickered at us for asking questions while we checked out. As a business owner I was shocked. It seemed as if one if the girls hadn't been trained at all a The other girl had a rude tone. I'd never go back to this location. The food wasn't great. Most of the meat buffet bowls were empty or almost empty and the food was bland. read more

Panda Express - My mushroom chicken to go. - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Friendly staff, food was great, BUT DON'T ORDER ONLINE! When I went in I was told they needed to see my order email. I'd left my phone was in the car, and she made me go get it. I then had to wait behind 3 people in line when I came back in before I could show it and get my order. It would've been faster to just order inside. I read the email and text and it said to give my name. That's it. No other place does this, so I thought it was odd. She said it was so she could verify my order was correct. I could have done that, and it's not like she looked in the bag to verify it was correct. She was nice about it, but it was just strange. My advice if you go, it's faster and easier to just go inside and order. Even if I had my phone with me, that's too much to go through for $9 mushroom chicken. read more

Three items for the V-Crew. Prices & portions are easy for this chain of fast-casual Chinese food. Another good point to share - the food stays replenished as one Cook keeps the huge wok flipping while the other Cook runs the somewhat open kitchen handling the prepping, frying & whatnot. Dining inside is still closed, yet the area is well maintained with complimentary Hand Sanitizer available. Restrooms are open. CUSTOMER SERVICE ROCKS. read more

Parking is available in a small free parking lot. I assume that parking is hard to get during peak hours, since Panda Express shares the parking lot with the other stores within the same strip mall. Covid-19 precautions are taken seriously. Facemasks are required, and there are signs on the floor indicating where customers should stand while in a queue. According to the floor signs, the door at the front is the entrance while the door on the side is the exit door. While I was there, it looked like all the employees and customers wore facemasks, but one of the employee didn't wear her mask correctly since her nose was not covered. I came here for dinner at 6 pm. Only one other person was inside the restaurant ordering food. I was quickly greeted by an employee at the serving line, and I was asked what she could get me. I ordered the Plate with chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and Beijing beef. The employees dishing the food up were quick and efficient. Pricing was good, and the amount of food I got was very reasonable. Honestly, at the time that I came here, I expected the food to be fresh, but most of the food didn't look fresh at all, looking either dried out or overdone or both. I actually chose food that I didn't mind eating and that also looked the most presentable. Indoor dining was not allowed. There were signs on the tables, and all the chairs had been removed. I paid for my food and took it to my car to eat. Uh ... the food was overall awful. Yep, it's my fault for even giving the food a chance. The chow mein noodles were cooked well, but lacked flavor. The honey walnut shrimp was overdone. The Beijing beef was also overdone and the meat, which had a good flavor, was a little tough. I didn't finish my food. My Panda Express experience was a fail. The customer service was good, but the food was terrible. read more

very rude ! today they charged everyone full price meals and did not have anything to drink (fountain) but water ! when i asked for they "special made" drinks instead to accommodate them having nothing but water . they wanted to charge me extra again for a drink when they didn't have anything to drink at all!! very bad customer service !! read more

The food was super bland with no flavor!! All of it tasted the same. I went to pay and the girl at register waited till there were at least 3 of us waiting to pay read more

Hey folks! For me, Panda Express is the quintessential "not remarkable, but good + cheap" spot. They're a model of consistency, friendly, and I'm a definite fan of fullness for less than $10, which is why they're kinda my go-to if I don't bring lunch to work. Note: this isn't authentic Chinese food, and I don't think it's supposed to be. I DO expect that they'll consistently provide me with a dose of mall food court vittles, along with some fresh out of HS nostalgic vibes. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu - from the staple orange chicken, to the black pepper Angus steak, with it's $1.25 upcharge - so go nuts! read more

After eating nearly half my food, I noticed that there was a bug (looks like a maggot to me) in my food!! I immediately began to gag and throw up! This is sick! I will be contacting corporate immediately about this. I should've went with my first mind and not eaten here seeing that they had a 81 health score. This by far the absolute worst fast food experience I've ever had! I will be eating home cooked meals for the foreseeable future. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!!! UPDATE: Yes corporate contacted me but it doesn't seem like they are trying to properly resolve this. I was even asked for proof of lost wages when it's THEIR fault why I got sick!!! The more I think about it, the more upset I get. This isn't good customer service. read more

It's been awhile since we ordered at the drive-through here at the East Cobb Merchant's Walk area location. Then, a bowl of food could easily be stretched to two meals. But now, the bowls were in smaller containers and filled about 3/4 full. My daughter and I each ordered the broccoli beef bowl with power greens. my bowl had just two small partial strips of beef - one the size of my thumbnail, and the other not much bigger. My daughter's was about the same. The power greens were mostly broccoli. A very small piece of kale leaf and a very small piece of cabbage sat at the bottom of the bowl. A bowl filled with, essentially, just two cups of broccoli was not worth the cost. We've enjoyed decent food there in the past, and this was disappointing. read more

Unfortunately it is 7:00 and there are 8 people waiting because they haven't cooked enough food. It's dinner time. They have now also locked all doors and refusing to allow other customers into the restaurant. This is the second time they've closed the restaurant well before closing time. This is an ongoing issue and it seems like lack of leadership and not following company policies have led to multiple issues. read more

My job is about 5 mins away, so I'd like this to be a viable lunch option, but since I don't go to lunch until 5pm, its a sure bet that if I go here, I'm going to be late coming back from my 30 mins lunch just because traffic on Windy Hill at 5pm is nothing nice. My first visit and I was ten minutes late getting back from lunch. I've been to other Panda Express restaurants, and I don't recall anything impressive about any of them but again, at least its a different lunch option that near my workplace. It may work out better for me to grab food before going in, but I go to work at noon, and can imagine this place being swamped at noon time. I ordered my food and it seemed like there was a $1.25 up-charge on almost everything I selected (honey walnut shrimp/pacific chili shrimp) instead of paying $2.50 extra for having two shrimp dishes, I opted for the grilled teriyaki chicken, that was being just put out. It didn't have much flavor and the sauce she gave me turned over in the bag, so I had warm teriyaki sauce on everything by the time I arrived back in my office. There was no line at 5pm, but of course that's because everyone is in their cars trying to get on 75 North or South. Spent $10.23 on what started out as an $8.40 lunch with no drink. It came with a couple of vegetables, and a week later I can't even recall which veggies I got. Im thinking brown rice and green beans. read more

Panda Express - Running low on Honey Waln - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

It's a Panda Express, which is a chain..so I came here expecting the goods I've gotten all over...and this is exactly what I got! To start, the place was crazy busy with a line of 10 deep, however the people behind the counter were quick and efficient getting through everyone within mere minutes. I always go with the 2 meats and a side plate, typically I would get half rice and glad chow mein then two meats and I feel this gets you more bang for your buck. Today I settled for just chow mein, orange chicken and one of their specialty beef dishes. The serving sizes were great and everyone I came in contact with was friendly from start to finish. Again, you don't expect a five star dining experience at Panda Express...I got exactly what I expected...a full belly at a cheap price within minutes. I will definitely be back to this location when back in the area. read more

Panda Express - Two meats. One side. And an egg roll. - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Jhanee and staff were super helpful and informative ! Will definitely be coming back soon

I keep trying to like this place...not just this one, but the franchise as a whole. I had to pick up something on my way to the office and this was on my way, so I stopped. First, let me mention the parking lot sucks. It's small and hard to maneuver during peak times. Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted and offered a sample of anything I wanted to try. I tired the orange chicken. There were quite a few options, but most looked as if they've been sitting out for a while even though this was noon on a weekday. I ended up getting the orange chicken and chow mein as a side. I got a drink too, bringing my lunch to $9.36. Anyway, in the future I will stick with Chinese restaurants. Panda Express is bland and never as good as I hope it will be. It just lacks flavor and the chicken is always chewy, like it's been microwaved 10 times. My advice is to avoid. read more

Unprofessional and very rude. Opened at 11 am rather than the 10:30 time listed on the door and website. Once I signaled to the 2 people inside asking if they were open I was seen and then promptly ignored. After about 5 minutes one person came to the door and couldn't even open it. Never been to this location before, and I'll never come back. Wish I could give 0 stars. read more

Came here 3 times , Service was great and speedy, Food was great. Will come back whenever I'm in the area

I visited the Panda Express today in Smyrna, GA at about Noon. There was about 10 people eating their lunch at the time. A young girl came in with a blanket around her, and she went placed it on a chair, and went to the check-out. It looks like they gave her a cup of water? I was sitting near the garbage can where folks drop there trash and leave. She went to the trash and started pulling out dirty plates and was licking them. I had the feeling that I was going to throw-up. An elderly couple got up, they grabbed the girl by the shirt, and brought her to the counter where she picked out some food, and they paid for it. She went back to where her blanket was, and she didn't sit down, she was standing and devouring the food. Why didn't Panda Express give her some Rice or something, they could have helped this girl. She was a black female, about 20 years old. I will never eat at this location again. read more

We ordered 4 bigger plates. One of the plate was veggies, broccoli beef and king pao chicken. When I ordered I was told I need to wait abt 10 mins for Kung pao chicken. Then we stood there for 15 mins. I checked and found king pao chicken was already cooked. I asked why they told me I'm waiting on the broccoli beef now because "they have to be ready all together at the same time. We don't want the dish to get cold". We ordered 4 plates what about the others? What logic is that.....I'm speechless. Be more flexible people nobody wants to wait 20 mins at a fast food place I'd rather microwave it when I get home. read more

Panda Express - From outside. - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Ordered for take-out. Large signs in the windows directed me to walk to the side of the building to order and pickup. I ordered a medium orange chicken and a Mongolian beef bowl with chow mein. It took about eight minutes for my order to be prepared due to the safety restrictions put into place. The food was what I came to expect from this chain. The employees were friendly too. Nothing exceptional stood out from my visit to warrant anything above an average rating. read more

Great food! Panda Express is always great, and this location never seems to be crowded. The employee was so very friendly. Very generous with portions. The orange chicken and Honey Walnut Shrimp are my favorite. My only complaint is that it's very hard to turn into the parking lot. Other than that, though, I recommend this Panda Express. read more

Everything is bad here. Orange chicken tastes paste and the Beijing Beef. Time for the franchisor to have an inspection

Even though I usually have to wait for my food to be cooked (they tend to run out), the customer service is great. The young lady named Dom is always pleasant, thorough and delivers awesome customer service! She actually has some of the best customer service I've ever had at a fast food place. It's always consistent. My food is always fresh because the items I typically get (teriyaki and green bean chicken) is usually cooking as I'm there or just came out. I don't have a problem with this, so no complaints this way. This is the only location I frequent because of the service and my food is always fresh. I do go early in the day, so maybe that's why lol. It is fast food, so my expectations are never that high. I would definitely recommend this location (again, I've only been early in the day during lunchtime). read more

Service: 5 stars: the woman servicing me was very pleasant and professional. She would do well if she decided to be a waitress at a upscale restaurant. Food: 1 star: I should've tasted it before I walked out but the rice was about 5 minutes under cooked smh everything else was fine but the rice ruined it. Cleanliess: 4 stars : from what I observed pretty tidy no real complaints. Price point: 1 star : I should've went to the mall and got chinese styled food. Sadly the rice is always cooked to doneness there and you get more food. I would've given them 2 stars but I ordered 3 boxes of food and all the rice was 5 minutes undercooked. The rice should not have been crunchy. read more

I should have read the reviews at this location before eating here. the rice and veggies were heavily salted. The rice was cooked with a lot of oil and tasted and looked Mexican rice. They also have little food the plate. I'm glad the location I regularly go to knows how to cook and give a good amount of food. read more

Nice quick service added onions and peppers to my meal has acts for can't say anything nice or it was a good experience the line was a long and staff was friendly thanks read more

Still regret coming to this location, I just spent 12.99 just for more onions and celery than meat in my triple black pepper chicken. And when i showed the server how it looked she tells me thats how it comes. Now a 1:1 ratio of chicken to celery to onion makes sense, how ever its not realistic but seriously about 6 pieces of chicken to 13-15 pieces of celery and onions is ridiculous. I never have this issue at the roswell rd or kennesaw location. The portions are just uncalled for for the amount I spend. I made the mistake of coming here just because im hungry. Will starve next time. read more

Panda Express - The ridiculous chicken to celery and onion ratio. - Chinese Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Worst experience. I don't know why but it's always been that we end up having bad experience at Panda Express. Last time when we thought of going to Panda Express for dinner it said 9.30 but did not mention it was for drive thru sit down closes at 9.00pm. So this time we went at 8.30 and what do we get. Half of the stuff is over and they clearly told us that they were not making anything new. Seriously was very upset read more

Always good food, and fresh. Friendly and quick staff. Clean inside and out, and they also practice the precautions for covid.

This location only offers less than half of the entrees they have listed. More than half the pans in the store are empty and they are out. So I am guessing they are just truly skimping on items that cost more money for the store and getting items that are mainly packaged and deep-fried to save money. They also don't have the side veggies or brown rice as the side item- just the fried rice, white rice and chow mien- all super cheap. The recent time I went, they only had 4 chicken dishes and a shrimp dish as entree. None of the beef, the teriyaki chicken and half of the other chicken dishes. For the prices, the quantity of the entree is very small and they pile on the side. You're pretty much paying for refined cheap rice or noodles w/ small scoop of whatever entree they have. The food didn't taste good and tasted chewy and way too sweet. The rice was dry and crunchy. Go to another location as I don't see this one being in business for very long. read more

NEVER opens on time. It's clearly advertised that they open at 1030 on weekdays, however, at even 1045 they still have their doors locked and look at you like you're absolutely insane for pulling in the door at the time the doors should be open. No one even bothers to acknowledge that a customer is waiting. I'm am surely positive that if you are to be opened to the public at 1030, you should probably be to work a bit earlier to prepare not start preparing to open AT 1030. The prices never make since. They literally ring up anything and try their best to explain when you look baffled. read more

Would leave 0 stars if I could. Went last night around 9:20. Was told that I could only pick from what they had left and they wouldn't make any fresh food. They close at 10. Only had steamed rice as a side and 3 different entree options. Terrible business. read more

Food is ok but service is horrible. Kimberly the check out girl can not count change then when I explained to her that she gave me to much back (which not many people will do) she was confused further.

My boyfriend went to go pick up some dinner and asked for some vegetables. A young woman came storming out of the kitchen and literally screamed at him for requesting an item. This is in no way an exaggeration, she screamed at him at the top of her lungs. Clearly she has some kind of mental problem and shouldn't be working with the public. He then asked for some teriyaki sauce, which is just too much to ask because they all seemed genuinely annoyed that he would request such a thing. We will not be returning to this location. I'm absolutely livid that my boyfriend was treated this way. How on earth does this woman even have a job? She should be in a straight jacket. read more
