Most chaotic Panda Express experience ever... This Panda is located in Berry Hill on Powell Avenue across from the large Staples/Home Depot and for the most part is your standard Panda Express, with the exception of service, organization and overall flow. The process from entry to cashing out was absolutely chaotic. First the young lady taking initial orders was less than friendly, very low-speaking and was not moving very quickly. This followed by 6 other people on the line doing 15 different things, which created absolute confusion amongst the staff and customers was exhausting to watch. The kitchen and line was disorganized and I felt bad for the Team Members as you can tell several of them were trying to be helpful, but just did not know how. The food was as expected and wanted, no issues there. Packing of the bag was a bit haphazardly as the lid of one of our bowls was not sealed and the sauce leaked all over the napkins and other bowl. Overall, not a fan of this location. The store was in good condition and clean, but the process was just a bit messy. read more

Food taste great. I wanted to get a small drink. They said they were out of the small drink cups, but I could get a large OK. I asked the large still gonna be at the small drink price since that's what I want. It was the small drink. the answer was no I work in the restaurant business. I would've given that drink cup for the same size price of the small one. This seems like a rip off to me not very happy with this location sorry hector read more

Stopped by one evening after the movies for a late night bite as there weren't many options in the area. When I checked online it said that the business was closed around 10 so I got there in the nick of time. I ordered the plate with sesame chicken, Beijing beef and Chow Mein. The Beijing beef wasn't my favorite but the sesame chicken was good. It was delicious and well seasoned. The chow mein was filling. If I'm ever at the Regal and it's late, I'll probably prioritize eating here vs other spots. read more

I love this location, always friendly staff. Best panda in Nashville, open late, food is always hot, never too busy. Hidden Gem

Terrible service there, they give you what they want and get angry if you say anything to them

Amazing food great service and very clean and nice and smelled amazing. Going to come back

Really satisfied with my visit. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, but most importantly, the orange chicken was crisp and sweet. Exquisite chefs and careful employees make this place the Panda Express that it is. If I lived here, you could find me here for every meal. No affiliate benefits came with this review. read more

I got a 2 entre plate that had 4 pieces of sweet fire and a half assed scoop of orange chicken. When I asked if I could get a real scoop of sweet fire he looked at me like I had 2 heads, so I changed to a large plate to get a meals worth of food. must be trained to upsell now. I absolutely love panda, just not this one. read more

Eat here at your own risk!!! There was a fly in my food. I ordered a bigger plate with chow mein, Beijing beef, orange chicken, honey sesame chicken breast, and honey walnut shrimp... there was a fly in my chow mein!!!!!!! I also didn't get a receipt so I couldn't even get a refund! ‍ also when I told one of the workers that there was a fly in my food they kinda seemed annoyed??? They told me that I couldn't get a refund because I didn't have my receipt that they put in my bag when I first ordered, but I never got a receipt. So when I complained to the manager they replaced my whole order. After they replaced my whole order I looked in the bag and STILL NO RECEIPT‼‼‼‼ idk what kinda shit theyre on where they can't print out a simple receipt, cos everyone else in the store seemed like they had a receipt but... won't be back here any time soon‼‼ left an extremely sour taste in my mouth‼ and the food was barely even hot!! One last thing. The tables are somehow always dirty even after they open for the day? But yeah eat here at your own risk. read more

We stop here when visiting Vanderbilt at 100 Oaks. Food is consistent to the Panda Express brand. Quick service even if it is not really friendly service. But what do you expect?? read more

Small amount of food and the vegan option isn't here anymore. They could add a marinated mushroom option and I'd be satisfied but for just chow mein noodles as the vegan option is crazy. read more

Panda Express - Chow Mein. They wouldn't even fill up my whole plate. Big rip off because it used to be bigger. It's just noodles - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Rude customer service and the food was hard and stale. Employees kept telling me the beyond chicken I ordered wasn't real multiple times even after I said that I knew. read more

Fast and tasty Asian cuisine without the waits that can leave you or your person hungry. Nobody needs a hangry relationship fight club division so it's a fast fix to curb appetites, raucous hangry ness and quite satisfying - food stoke all encompassing. read more

Good value, friendly helpful staff, great leftovers. The beef is wonderfully hot! Chow mein noodles are better than the rice

My boyfriend and I love panda, but will be heavily questioning whether or not we go again after this. Long hairs were in his chow mein and beef. Blehhh. Be sure to check your food before you dive in. He pulled one of the hairs out of his mouth. read more

See all

Slow kitchen. Mass confusion at the line The girl at the front of the line just kept shoveling people along, that guy next to her kept getting orders wrong all the while making everyone else in line feel like an asshole for having to correct him. Very unprofessional, very chaotic and unpleasant. It should not be the customers responsibility to keep the peace and order read more

The prices and portions are not compatible. I am also not happy that my straw barely reaches the bottom of my large drink. The workers are not friendly. Overall the food was good, but just that, good. read more

My fortune said, "Be willing to admit your mistakes." Okay. Choosing here was definitely a mistake. I'm not sure what the draw is here. The entree selections are either empty and not available when you want them, or look like they were dished out when the original Ming dynasty was in power. For the price I should have just found a hole-in-the-wall Chinese buffet with better selection and the ability to get some soup and dessert too! read more

The line was quite long, although it was well worth it! The food was very fresh and freshly cooked! The parking is a bit of an annoyance because it's limited. However they do have extra parking to the side by the movies. I get the noodles & sweetfire (little bit of a kick but not bad at all!!). I love the pineapple and bell peppers with the friend chicken! They had a pretty decent outdoor seating with umbrellas to enjoy it outside if you wish read more

I've always liked Panda Express. I think the first one I went to was in Cool Springs Mall years ago. I also run into them quite a bit when I'm out in Cali. This location is nice because the food is always fresh, mostly due to the constant flow of people in and out going to 100 Oaks or Hollywood 27 movie theater. Although I'm not a big fan of peas and carrots in my fried rice or the extra cabbage in my chow mein, the main dishes make up for it. Some of my faves: Mushroom Chicken, Chicken and String Beans, Kobari Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Eggplant Tofu. The company likes to tout itself as "Gourmet Chinese Food," but I'm not sure why. It's decently priced and always fills me up. Strangely, it doesn't make me hungry an hour later like other Chinese places can. read more

Wasn't going in looking for a 5 star experience, after all it is Panda Express. I was also not looking to be ignored for the first 5 minutes while standing to order. Employees weren't personable or friendly at all, took 15 minutes from the time I walked in the door to the time I left with my to-go order and not one time did they apologize or even say, "we'll be right with you." Food was what I was expecting at least and was decent take out Asian. Staff could use some work in hospitality for sure. read more

I have eaten here three times now and all three times, I am not impressed but hey its Fast Food Chinese food...so what do we expect right??? The place is so small and always crowded. So, I thought, hey it must be good !! Right?? Large Crowds...but not the case in my opinion. And again, this entire review is MY OWN OPINION...so don't base your choices on me... The staff is really nice, but they are always in a hurry and I feel like I am Rushed...I don't like that feeling. I have to make decisions quickly...literally split second decisions or they will go on to the next person and just leave you standing there. Even though there is a bank of employees in the rear ( you can see them cooking) and fresh food is being pumped out quickly...I just don't like the taste of much of it. The prices are sort of high, and they give you small portions I feel. With taxes and drink, it totals about $10 or more per person, so I would rather go to a buffet for that price...at least I will have more decisions but mainly I will not be RUSHED... I am going to say the RUSHED feeling is the main reason I don't like this place. The third visit was MY LAST visit....sorry Panda Express, You are Just NOT for ME....but on a better note...the staff smile a lot and the place is bright and clean...just small and crowded. read more

Sometimes you just need some Panda Express. No, it's not authentic. No, it's not "good." But sometimes it's just exactly what you need and nothing else will do, you know? This location is fine. There's often a line, but it moves quickly. And there are plenty of tables inside and outside, although I'm a loyal "to go" girl myself. I like their healthier (non deep fried) options they've been adding to the menu lately, and I'm just not into things that are breaded and then doused in sauce, but they've got all the old favorites, too. read more

Employees are legit NPCs, and they do not wear gloves. Saw the employee put my noodle back on the tray with his bare hand.

Great Management and customer service. This Panda Express is impressive. Just watched the manager go over to two elderly woman and be so sweet and helpful. read more

A lot of negative reviews here. I have only had positive experiences at this location though! I usually go right before the lunch rush (11:30ish), or at 3Pm. The food is has always been fresh. Ever got the first scoop out of a fresh cooked Beijing Beef? Also, given the selection in Nashville, this Chinese food is honestly better than any Chinese Food, I've had around here read more

I typically love Panda Express, but this location is a very bad example of what Panda can be. Other reviewers that have mentioned being ignored for extended times before being acknowledged are spot on. Once they actually start to help you it's in a very non friendly, unwelcoming way. It makes you feel like you're inconveniencing them by being there. The food has issues too, I'm currently eating burnt rice. There's literally chunks of black rice. It tastes like a campfire. I've also been charged for larger drink sizes than I've ordered, so there's some potentially shady practices going on too. Thought third time might be the charm... but it's looking like I may not return to this location. read more

I have eaten at this location several times and it is usually good and fairly clean. I am disappointed that they switched from Pepsi products to Coke products however. Otherwise, I would recommend it. read more

Since this is a chain restaurant that is typically found in mall food courts or airports the reviews of this place will probably be bad and some terrible personal experience someone had. I like this panda express because its located next to some cool shopping locations (electronic express, Russ, tjmax, pet smart, Michaels crafts) so you can grab lunch while shopping. They have a ton of choices at this location. They have 6-7 different chicken dishes atleast! The food line is clean however the tables never seem to be bussed and the trash is always over flowing. The food over all is fresh and good tasting. Considering Nashville is the worst town for good Chinese food I'm happy this Panada Express is here! read more

Panda Express is fast food chinese - but it hasn't disappointed. My husband and I are from Los Angeles where there were a lot of these, so we were so excited when Nashville got one! It's similar to Pei Wei - but is clearly more "fast food." I love the Orange Chicken. My husband always gets the Kung Pao Chicken. The Golden Treasure Shrimp is great, too. You can't really go wrong. I also like the Veggie Egg Rolls. I recommend the two entree plate: Pick Fried Rice, White Rice, Chow Mein, or Veggies. I usually get half White Rice and half Chow Mein. Then pick two items.... Yum! They give you a fortune cookie too! :) TIP: You get more food if you order to-go....even if you eat there. :) read more

Two years in Nashville and the best Chinese food restaurant still currently open (What happened to Bamboo Garden?) is Panda Express. And this makes me a sad panda. Well, Panda Express is definitely American Chinese food, it is filling, and it is cheap (around $6-8 per meal). I would give it a C+ for authenticity, due to surprisingly good Gan Bao Chicken and stuff like black pepper and celery chicken and the honey walnut chicken that was always a guilty pleasure of mine as a kid. Heck, I'm even support the orange chicken Panda Express claims to have invented. On the other hand, they get docked for the sweet and sour and Mandarin Chicken. Really, any dish with only meat on it should be skipped, for it will be liberally doused in sauce. The food is cooked pretty quickly by a very visible kitchen team (with woks!), and service is prompt and friendly. There is little I can complain about here. ...except during lunch and dinner, when this place is jammed with people like sardines. Please Nashville, get a good Chinese restaurant. This is killing me. read more

This was my first time here and I got there yesterday around 3 pm . Every thing ( most of the bowl )was empty . I asked for the steak and they told me I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes, the girl wasn't nice or friendly , I asked some questions and she acted so impatient I got the beef broccoli and it was hardly any beef in it and I also got spicy beef which was cold and not fresh. The food didn't have any flavor and was not fresh ! I will never go back read more

I loved this location. It was fast and friendly. I tried a few things and then ordered what I wanted. I was sad they didn't have the mango drink their menu was promoting since my husband specifically wanted that, but otherwise it was a pleasant experience. read more

Meh. I know its fast food Chinese, but I've had better Panda Express elsewhere. Chow mein was stale, like eating gummi worms. The chicken was nice and tender though. They ran out of Teriyaki chicken and I was told it would be "1 minute" and brought to my table... It was closer to ten minutes, but hey, fried rice by itself is not so bad (sarcasm). Lots of young folk working there, which isn't necessarily a problem, if they are trained properly. I like when I get customer-centric workers. When a patron walks into a restaurant or store and you have to wait for the employees to finish their conversations, it's annoying and a sign of poor customer service. Am I right or am I right? Food: Meh. Customer service: Meh. Parking: Okay. Price: Good. Actual Pandas: None. Maybe next time. read more

For fast Chinese, it's the best. Their Beijing beef is my favorite dish but their shrimp dishes are great as well! If you're in a hurry and need Chinese food to go, this is your best bet! read more

Panda Express is what it is. You aren't going to get gourmet Chinese food here, but it will be tasty for the most part. You can get in and out in 10 minutes, and the food is freshly prepared (which is half of the battle with Chinese) I still prefer a Pei Wei or PF Chang's to this, but my wife and I ate until we couldn't eat anymore and the total bill was $15. read more

Now many will see this 1 star rating and likely think me a prude- but hear me out. I just moved the the Nashville area from Chicago- where I worked full tiem as a Chef for Panda Express. I know how to cook nearly all of the dishes and after tasting Tennesee's Panda quality from not one- but several different resturants I am apalled. I know for a fact- that their meat is of a lower quality- that they skimp on either the sesame oil or the cooking wine for the chow mein, (It's been a year since I actually cooked cut me a break) and that their cooking times are off. I have seen their people in charge- and it appears they RUN the place exactly as they do in Chicago. The manager's are professional and know how to do their jobs. Spendid people. THe only fault with (at the very least) 3 of the however many Panda express there are in Tennesee is the taste. I thought at one point that maybe my taste buds had changed- but I took a trip back up to Chicago a few weeks ago and tried Panda out again. Same old good taste. Quality. I hope my review does something to improve Tennessee's quality. For those interested in appealing to me about this; leeland.winfree@gmail.com I worked for the Panda express on State street. Resturant code 2012. Brian was my manager- and when I worked there Ken Chan was our District Manager- but I hear he was recently replaced? Aw well. Cheers, -L read more
