    Chicken and string beans, teriyaki chicken and all greens teriyaki was all dark meat
    Brooke G.

    Eh, veggies were fresh, I love their sauce, however, the teriyaki chicken was all dark meat I couldn't eat...I'm sad faced

    The simple beauty of the delicious Orange Chicken!
    Christine B.

    For some reason, I'd convinced myself that I didn't like Panda. We've been a couple of times lately and I've realized it's actually quite good! The one item bowl with orange chicken and chow mein (or rice) makes for a delicious meal. You can even ask them to add in some vegetables. My husband and I have theorized that if you see an employee changing out an entree pan with a fresh pan, it's wise to order that entree. We base a lot of last minute decisions on that and it's served us well. Despite what other reviews say, I've found the employees here to be efficient and nice. As fast food choices go, Panda is a fairly decent one.

    Plate- 2 entrees one side
    Abir L.

    My husband and I occasionally like to eat from Panda Express. This branch is the closest to our house and we've tried it multiple times now. We tried dining in once but we mostly order take out. This was the first time that I went to get the food (It's usually my husband). I got there a little after 6:00pm and there was a line for takeout. Only a couple of tables were occupied. I ordered one 2 entree meal and one "bigger" for my husband which is basically 3 entrees and a side. The sesame chicken is back so I thought, must be a popular choice, let's try that. We are big fans of noodles so I ordered that for both of us. We also got the spicy beef, the broccoli beef and the string been chicken. I also got 1 order of vegetable spring roll which is 2 rolls. I paid around $20 for everything and quickly went home. I must say this was by far the best meal we'd ever had at Panda Express. The food was hot and fresh and everything tasted delicious. I see why the sesame chicken is back, it's really good. A tiny bit sweet and the taste of sesame is not overpowering. We've not been so lucky in previous times we got our food here but we're thinking it's the time that made a difference. In all the other times we've been to this branch, we were there pretty late in the evening, like 8:00pm onwards. This was the first time that I got the food during the dinner rush when the turnover is high and the food is coming out of the kitchen constantly. We will make sure we are here around that time in the future too! Very good food for the price we paid. We will be going back.

    Picking up some dinner to go
    Stephanie M.

    After doing housework all day yesterday I was way too tired to cook so we came in to Panda to get some food to go since the dining room was still closed to people eating there. We purchased a Large side of the chow mein and a two item combo to go. We were lucky the chow mein was still cooking so i didn't mind waiting a few extra minutes for it to come out since their food is under heating lamps all day so it was great as always. Or two item combo consisted of half chow mein and half fried rice here again the chow mein was really good but the fried rice was crazy crunchy a person could've cracked a tooth totally nasty! The orange chicken and the beef broccoli was good and we purchased an order of spring rolls to go with our meal. I honestly have to say that Panda Express is like playing slots in Vegas you're not always going to win. I guess it depends on what day you go in and who is cooking it unless the rumors are true that most of their food comes frozen then how can you honestly screw that up.

    plate with grasshopper

    ordered some plates off of DoorDash and paid 41 dollars only to find a giant grasshopper in my chow mein upon taking the second bite. Absolutely disgusting.

    Dangerous sauce spill just being walked around
    Sherry C.

    This panda is subpar. It has the ability to be amazing but the skimpy amounts of food they give 90%of the time makes them cheap on food but high on cost. People are always standing out the door and waiting for food. This staff is never prepared for the dinner rush. And by Rush I mean four people in line. They are always waiting for the veggies and orange chicken. Tonight on our visit there was a very dangerous sauce spill on the floor in the middle of the walkway. Instead of cleaning it to prevent a fall the workers walked around this for nearly the whole time we were eating. Then one employee went on dinner break right in the middle of the big rush. This restaurant is always freezing cold and dirty. Only reason why we eat here is it is close to our house. There are much better pandas to eat at.

    Evidently, half a bowl servings are "accurate portions." Since when? If you haven't read my review yet, I recommend you do....

For years I have driven 25 minutes for takeout and never regretted it. High decor -No, limited selections -No, quiet -No, great food -Absolutely, incredibly friendly and pleasant staff -100%. Our typical order is a large General Chicken with extra sauce and Malaysian fun chow. The general chicken is perfectly breaded, deliciously flavored, slight bite and an uncious taste making you want more. The Malaysian fun chow has wok fried wide rice noodles with a hint of char, shrimp, bean sprouts,onions, veggies and a light but savory taste. Another home run! Don't let the exterior or inside decor persuade your judgement. Hands down the staff is second to none and the food is fabulous. Asian Cafe Express is an incredible value for the food quality and portion size. Trust me, if you give them a shot, you will also be ordering here for years. To the staff, fabulous job and thanks!

    A Mesa Asian District Gem Worth Seeking Out…read more Asian Cafe Express is a lovely strip mall gem near H-Mart in Mesa's Asian District, and after 21 years in business, it clearly has a loyal following for good reason. We brought in a fresh lobster from H-Mart to try their "bring your own seafood" cooking option and chose the garlic onion stir fry preparation. It's $14.99 for anything under 2 lbs and $7.50/lbs for anything over. It came out excellent, served over crispy egg noodles with classic Asian flavors and plenty of wok-fired goodness. We also enjoyed the Peking pork ribs, which were deboned, tasty, and slightly sweet; the stir-fried green beans, which were fresh and well prepared; and the garlic spicy chicken wings, which were especially flavorful and highly recommended. The red bean drinks were traditional and satisfying, with soft, nicely soaked mung beans and no milk. Service was friendly, efficient, and personal, handled by a couple of ladies who clearly know the restaurant and their customers well. While we were there, plenty of regulars came in for takeout and several tables were happily dining in. Overall, we really enjoyed Asian Cafe Express and were surprised we had not stopped in sooner. Highly recommend, especially for the "bring your own seafood" cooking option and the garlic spicy wings. We will definitely be back.

Ordered the pork and chives dumplings, XLB, and Beef chow fun. Service was expedient and waters were already preset on the table. There was a QR code on the table that allowed you to order online or if you waited a few more minutes, server will come over and take your order. All of our food came fast... within about 10-15 min. Chow fun had the wok hay ( wok air that makes food taste good) and thick slices of velveted beef slices. Pork and chive dumpling and XLB were juicy and moist and delicious with the ginger black vinegar chili oil sauce. I really like the food here and staff moves fast. Great place for a quick lunch.

The spicy is mild overall with a light chili spice on initial bite. It fades, so the dipping sauce was nice to have with it. The Xiao Long Bao were the winners of thee meal and would be why I go back. Easy to eat and tasty. I only wish the soup inside was a bit hotter. The Chicken Sheng Jian Bao was good, but the breading a little thicker than I personally like. This felt more like a dessert with the sesame bottom. Good taste, just heavy. Felt like we were rushed a bit and we're asked several times if we were done. There were empty tables, so that knocked it from the higher 3.5 side to the lower. Yelp is a flat star rating.

It may be a smaller, family-owned spot, but the heart, passion, and consistency here are unmatched. Hands down, the best dim sum I've had in Arizona.

I'm not sure if we just chose the wrong dim sum to order in the menu but it wasn't what I expected. First bite of chicken feet tasted off. The shumai was meaty and felt too much in one bite so I only ate one. The rest was mediocre. We did order two main dishes as well but we thought the main dishes were a lot better than the dim sums we ordered. If I had to rate the food. Main dishes: salty fish and chicken fried rice 5/5 spicy eggplant w/ beef 5/5 Dim sum: Shumai 3/5 Braised chicken feet 1/5 Custard buns 3/5 Shrimp dumplings 3/5 Shanghai soup dumplings 4/5 Bbq pork slices 3/5 Steamed pork ribs 3/5 Overall experience was ok. The dim sum was definitely not the highlight. I think it's the main dishes that were good that we wished we ordered more of as they did have a generous selection to choose from in the menu.
