This location has really gone down in quality! The honey walnut shrimp used to be so good, the past 4 times or so I've been there it's soggy and bland, I'm not sure if they've changed it but I think I'll just give up on it, you pay extra for it and it's not very good anymore. Every time I'm there, the drink machine is broke or there is no ice. OR, they only have large cups, which are huge and they charge you for the large even though you wanted a small and they don't have the cups. Today, there was no ice (or small cups anyway) and the bottled drinks were all warm. They really need to step it up, it used to be a good location. It's just getting worse every time. read more

When I am short on cash, and I want to get something tasty that'll make me full, Panda Express is nice because I can get a nice sized box of fried rice for $2. I don't know if I saw the word "Chinese" anywhere in the store, which is probably a good thing, since the store is about as authentic Chinese as Graumann's Theater in LA is. The place is clearly a chain, and has the slick corporate look to it. But it has a nice selection of all kinds of, um... Asian-style(?) dishes, all of which are fresh and loaded with veggies and meats. If I was in the 100 Oaks area, and my family needed a quick lunch, this would almost certainly be my choice. Nice little place. read more

3 stars is definitely means A-Ok in this case. Panda Express is just that, A-Ok. Some where I will return because it happens to be one of my favorite chain Chinese food spots, but it is obviously not in the ranks with fresh, traditionally made Chinese - which is nearly impossible to find in Nashville. That situates it at 3 fabulous stars. I grew up eating at Panda Express in our Malls back home in CA, they are a staple there along with the stand alone restaurants like this one in Berry Hill near the 100 Oaks Mall. The location is super convenient, directly off of the 65 and close to 100 Oaks and the theater. We first visited during Christmas time following a hellish shopping trip, the space is clean, organized and runs like a well oiled cafeteria-style, move that tray fast- kinda place. You request your selected dishes as they scoop them into your plate and serve you over a glass barrier. Fast and efficient. I also enjoy the clear view of the grill/kithcen area where the cooks are preparing the food,. The service is quick, food served hot and the quality is better than most fast food style chains. Prices are definitely fair and they offer special items on the menu which change periodically like Coconut Shrimp which can be added to your meal or chosen as one of your "meat" choices. They also offer veggies, low mien, egg rolls, fried wonton and crab rangoon and fried rice. You can also get steamed rice if you prefer. Overall worth the visit if you are in the area to take in a movie, shop at 100 Oaks or work nearby. read more

2013/026 I like going to Panda Express because it's just like a Starbuck's or McDonald's -- the food is consistent and uniform at each location. So is the seating arrangement, since this place was almost a mirror image of the ones I frequented on the other coast. I was in the shopping mall at 100 Oaks and had a hankering for something Asian-ish. I got my usual and it tasted just the way I expected it to. Up until I got to Nashville, I thought for sure I never had cream cheese in my Chinese food before. But when I saw their rangoons, I was suddenly reminded that I did have them back in California. I thought it was weird back then, too, but it didn't stop me from ordering them. The ones here had a weird herb used to season the cream cheese. I don't remember them tasting like that at other locations, but maybe it's been a while for me. read more

The staff was very nice - and the place was pretty clean. However there were three of us - and we all tried a couple different things and none of them were cooked very good. Things were quite over cooked,or the seasoning was either missing or over-powering. I would suggest sampling things ahead of time (if the line isn't too crazy) read more

I grew up on Panda Express, so I was pleased to see it finally expand out to Nashville. If it's busy, the food is fresh and it tastes OK. The orange chicken is what they're really known for. However, if you go during an off period, be warned: You might end up with a plate of warm vomit. Half the food is fried and all of it suffers from lingering on the hot bar. Here's a tip: sample the food before you get it. If the fried food is soggy, don't bother ordering. You're going to hate it. Otherwise, it's passable chinese food. Probably better than the greasy chinese take-away near your place, but nothing to write home about. I can only think of 4 chinese places in Nashville that I'd rather have than Panda Express. read more

Qudoba / Chipotle meets Chinese. I have never been to a Panda Express before and I must say it surpassed my expectations. Everything is fresh and you can see all their cooking and ingredients out in the open. The food is NOT cooked to order. It is all already cooked, so probably best to go when they are busy. I got Pot Stickers, Kung Pow Chicken and Beijing Beef with fried rice, all for $7. It was way more food than I could eat. Everything was very fresh and quite delicious. Apparently their most popular signature dish is Orange Chicken, I'll probably try that next time. They offer over 12 different entrées to choose from. They will let you sample as many of the entrées you want by giving you a small amount on a tooth pick. They also have "Smart Wok" entrées that are 250 calories or less. The dining room is very clean and they have all kinds of choices for drinks, soda, energy drinks and several kinds of iced tea. I'd go back because of good value and great taste . I'm giving it three stars instead of four because the food is sitting under heat lamps and is not cooked to order. In my opinion for a restaurant to get 4 or 5 stars I want the food cooked to order, although for the price and taste this is quite good. read more

This was at a time that is later than I am usually there, but the line moved quickly. It appeared that the store was staffed with another person than normal. I got in, all items were readily available, and I left. For me, this was the ideal fast food experience. Everyone is always friendly, but sometimes they do not have all of the dishes ready and I have to call an audible. This time a 10 out of 10! read more

A great place for quick cheap "Chinese food," staff is always friendly even during stressful times such as rush hour and apparent under staffing, and it's always clean and we'll maintained. read more

Panda Express - The orange chicken may be the most delicious thing panda express has to offer - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The online ordering process was easy and clear, and I knew exactly where to retrieve my order. The food tasted great; fresh and flavorful (but not enough peanuts in the kung pao chicken) and I got a big meal for the money I paid. The counter server greeted me cheerfully and she was very helpful with instructing me where to find napkins and forks. read more

I just got a plate from the drive through at the Nashville Charlotte Pike location. I paid extra to get the Shanghai Angus beef. When I got home, I was disappointed to find that there was hardly a decent piece of the Shanghai Angus beef, the serving was mainly gravy and vegetables! read more

Berry Hill Chinese fast food chain in Vanderbilt Health Clinic 100 Oaks location, it serves instant Chinese standards. At the counter I point out the selections I want and pay and eat. The Panda Bowl and the Orange Chicken are good enough for me. They say it's gourmet, I say it's okay. read more

Decent, Americanized Chinese food that will definitely satisfy your craving if you are looking for a quick lunch or dinner. I like the Beijing Beef, Orange Chicken, Peppercorn Shrimp, steamed veggies, and the potstickers are pretty good. This is definitely not where you would go for an authentic Chinese meal, but it is tasty every now and then if you are over this way and in the mood for something kind of Chinese-y. read more

My wife and I ate here twice this past winter. The prices are cheap and the portions are adequate. But PE is, like all fast food Chinese cuisine, an underwhelming experience. The seasoning of most dishes is bland, the meats are chopped into tiny pieces so that you can hardly tell what you are chewing, and the sauces are gummy and usually overly sweet. The servers at the Powell Avenue location are pasty-faced runts with attitudes. Aside from that, Panda Express is great! =;) read more

This has become one of my favorite lunch places. Food is cosistently good. Sometimes the line is long and moves slow but this is usually due to so much to choose from and not the staff. Quality of food is worth any wait time. read more

Fast food at its best. Honey walnut shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and a wad of lo mein all for $8. Fast chirpy service...welcome to Panda how are you today, well just peachy when I get that honey walnut shrimp in me ...Pandaaaa! read more

I love panda express, they are the best americanized chinese food chain in my opinion. Beijing Beef and String bean chicken are two of my favorites! Of course, get them fresh otherwise it's not as good! The price is just right, and you get a lot of food! Add on some crab rangoons and you have a huge meal. The service is fast and quick, perfect for when you are in a rush! read more

For the price and efficiency, this place totally rocks. Occasionally, I need to pick up take-out for the kids. It's fast and I always get the same thing; honey walnut shrimp and fried rice. I also enjoy the orange peel chicken and lo mien. Full of flavor and super convenient. read more

Due to a high turnover rate and great location the food is always fresh. However, it takes between 15 and 20 minutes just to get through the line at lunch. They don't offer any soups and just replaced traditional steamed vegetables with some kind of power veggies. Prices may be moderate but they really pack on the rice especially in the bowl option. Not going back. read more

I would rate this higher if only this particular Panda Express were consistent. The last time I was here everything was excellent. Food had a lot of flavor and staff is always friendly. I came in today with my family and everything was very bland. They were giving away free fire chicken for the Chinese New Year and the first couple bites were spicy. The rest of what they gave me tasted the same as the mushroom chicken I ordered. My daughter had fried rice and told me it didn't taste the same as what she normally gets. Maybe I'll go back, maybe I won't. There's another location inside Opry Mills mall. read more

This place has definitely gone down hill. How are you going to be out of half of your menu at lunch time? You know to expect a lunch rush, you should prepare for it. The bathroom needed service but I can't imagine them tending to it when they can't even keep food prepared. Will not visit again. read more

Everyone at this location is and has always been very friendly and polite. I enjoy the food and the prices are very reasonable, this is one of my favorite locations. read more

Until today I had forgotten how bad Panda Express was. I have been there before so I wasn't looking for authentic or great Chinese food. But today was worse than ever. The fried rice was pasty and flavorless, the eggrolls were so greasy you could barely eat them, and the kung pow chicken had maybe two peanuts in it. We were trying to decide between this and Panera Bread.I wish we had gone with Panera bread. read more

Pleasantly surprised. I did not typically associate Panda Express with high quality, but noticed they had switch to all natural ingredients. The food really tasted great. I had shrimp and beef dishes. Try it! read more

I have been here 3 times and it is always good whenever I come. Friendly staff and rather quick service. Food is always tasty and I have no complaints. Always fresh. read more

Food and service is really good, my only complaint is the last three times I have been to this Panda they didn't have ice for their fountain drinks you would think someone would take care of this at some point read more

Today we came like 1pm for lunch and ordered fried rice and sesame chicken and beans and chicken sesame chicken is ok but the beans chicken is got spoiled I eat one pice of chicken I felt like vomiting because the chicken and beans got spoiled please don't serve spoiled food read more

Delicious!!!! Orange chicken is the best! Very polite service and they will make you whatever you want if they are out at the moment and get it to you as soon as it comes off the wok! read more

OUTSTANDING!! I pulled in at lunch and seeing all the cars and traffic, thought, "this will be a while." I walked in and walked out literally in less than 5 mins and they were super packed!! My order was hot and right and super good! Best Panda Express experience ever!! read more

This place is so poorly run you're going to wait a long time in line, wait for your second entree and then end up eating cold food because your food sits up at the register while you're 9 people deep in line to pay. Consistently a frustrating experience, but you won't feel alone. All the customers standing in line next to you are loudly expressing disappointment amongst each other. Poor training and management going on here. I should know, I'm familiar with restaurant operations. Go somewhere else. read more

Never have I been disappointed in this place. I love the teriyaki chicken and lo mein.

I go here at least two to three times a month. It is always fast. Always courteous. The food is always right and sometimes someone even walks around to check how things are going if it's not too busy. read more

The day I visited, there were predictions of bad weather. David M. was apparently the only one that showed up for work that day. There were 2 cooks, but David was the only employee behind the counter (this was right in the middle of lunch). The line extended all the way to the back door of the restaurant. He was greeting everyone, making each meal, and ringing every customer up. Never once in the 30 minutes I waited in line did he seem to lose his cool or be frustrated. He was the true example of a hard worker! Please make sure he gets recognized for his commitment to Panda Express, as well as to the customers. read more

It was dinner time and the place was hopping! The service was fast and the food was fresh! I ALWAYS get the Orange Chicken with fried rice! Delicious!!!!! read more

I go here weekly as it is in my usual rotation of lunch places. Always have a good experience! They are very nice and they try to be as fast as possible. I really like the lunchtime staff. They do an awesome job! read more
