I'm a big fan of the new Cantonese bbq brisket. It is actually tender and packs a punch in the flavor department. Definitely shines above the rest. The visit was about usual. The staff were very busy with online and drive thru orders. Luckily, that means the food was pretty darn fresh. The egg roll and spring rolls could have been better if made to order, but still good. The restaurant was clean as usual, with plenty of seating. Another great visit. read more

See all

This is probably the perfect place for anyone who has allll day to get food. But I work for a living and have limited time. After standing in line for 10 minutes with only 1 person ahead of me I finally gave up and left. Would not recommend! read more

Came towards close i know thats not the best time but we order took ten mins to get our food . The portion size is usually great but this time was really good .food was not that fresh .mainly disappointed about the time . read more

Pretty disappointed...Zero Pandas inside. But I guess it was pretty Express. Drive Thru was snappy. Clean. Consistent. They pretty much sell the same 8 things +/- Steamed Rice or Fried Rice. Meat. Rice. Rangoons. Egg Rolls are crunchy. New Super Greens Option is cool for those people (and one of my unique kids) Give it a shot when you're too tired to make something. Winter is upon us too...pretty nice driving thru from your warm car, eh? I've never really had anything but good service, but it's so express...is there even time? read more

I had never tried Panda Express before. I was surprised in the quality of the food for it being so fast. The flavors were good as well. I went inside to pick up the food and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The inside was clean and well kept after the lunch rush. I will definitely consider coming back in the future. read more

We decided to try it again because they are very close and it seems like there are always cars there. I'm glad we did my wife had the Kung Pau bowl with steamed rice and she thought it was excellent. I had the plate with. Orange chicken and black pepper angus steak. The orange chicken and fried rice was excellent, well cooked and tasty. The black pepper angus steak was pretty tough and didn't seem to have much flavor at all. All in all seemed like a nice place pleasant friendly people, and good food. It was really nice to go thru a drive thru and not be bugged for a tip or feel like you are pushed to tip. We will definitely go back. read more

Had a coupon so tried Panda Express. Not much specific to say other than we didn't care for our meals and won't be going back. Had two chicken bowls. Rice was spiky, not fluffy. Sesame chicken was a little gummy. I remember it being better. Drive-thru service was fine. read more

I really like some of the items on Panda's menu, and I appreciate having a Chinese restaurant who publishes nutritional information. Unfortunately, I haven't succeeded in actually obtaining food at this location. On this attempt, I observed a line of about a dozen cars, which at my usual Panda on S 72nd would take 15-20 minutes. But after half an hour, I was only halfway through the line. I couldn't justfy waiting nearly an hour for fast food. Fortunately, this is one of the few places that offers an escape route from the drive through. Note that going inside to pick up an order carries its own risk of delay: the line of cars may well trap you in your parking spot. read more

This was a quick stop for a take out lunch at Panda Express however there was no aspect of 'express'. There was a line of 8 cars ahead and the line stood still for 3 minutes then slowly crept forward. I should have parked the car and walked in, would have saved 10 minutes according to my estimate. They also didn't have teriyaki chicken, strike 2 for me. The fried rice and egg roll was bland. Perhaps, its time to find a fast food Chinese restaurant as a backup. The orange chicken was the saving grace of the whole meal. read more

Nastiness. How does anyone eat this crap. Dried out and not good beef. Veggies were shriveled. Noodles were cold

Well, after striking out at the Panda near 168th and Maple, I'd begun going out of my way in my quest for Panda Express teriyaki chicken. I don't know why that is so difficult to get, but I went this past Wednesday evening to the location close to 180th and Center. I arrived and my receipt is time-stamped 8:34pm. I asked for a large teriyaki chicken and medium fried rice, same as always. Pull up to the window and they tell me it's a 14 minute wait. I'd left early for work, knowing I was going out of my way, and if they were right on 14 minutes, I'd still make it, so I agreed to pull around and park in the Panda Prison to wait. TWENTY TWO MINUTES later, my food came out the door. Yup, late for work thanks to Panda-Not-So-Express. But you know what REALLY got this review just one star? While I was waiting, I had nothing to do but watch the inside of the restaurant, and I saw an employee filling the utensil cups on the counter. He brought out four cups of utensils. He placed two on the counter, and the other two must be reserve for quick refill when they're busy. Those two cups, he was going to stow in the cabinet below the counter. He bent down to put them in, and about half of the forks from one cup fell on the floor. Plastic forks, probably a restaurant-cost of less than a penny each, not wrapped in plastic, and he PICKED THEM UP OFF THE FLOOR, PUT THEM BACK IN THE CUP AND STOWED THE TWO CUPS IN THE CABINET!!! Pity the people who then used those forks in the restaurant Thursday afternoon and evening!! read more

A 3 because I think it all tastes good and I'll go back for sure but I continue to get the wrong order. LOL! Someone's gonna be mad today that they ended up with veggie spring rolls instead of orange chicken for sure. Not sure what the problem is but I'm not going to open my food at the drive thru to make sure it's correct. Anyway, the orange chicken I didn't order was very good! ;) read more

the service here was great and ordering was easy, the lady givin me my food was so nice and didn't come off at all rude, and when i left with my food i was in such a good mood xoxo goodnight read more

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR DRIVE THRU ORDER EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE DOGS OR SCREAMING KIDS IN YOUR VEHICLE! The food is good, the price is too high for a fast food place. The boy in the drive through was very nice and had a smile on his face. They messed up my order and didn't give me items ordered which makes it even more over priced when you don't even get the food which is ordered and payed for. read more

I like their food but they seem to never plan ahead with their food. No fried rice or their new special even though it'll be the most popular. Not the first panda I've experienced this with either. The guy in drive didn't care. It just sucks after a long day of working at fast food myself where our guests come first. Just sad. read more

Got drive-through here around 9 PM in the evening. Our order was a couple bowls of chicken with chow mein, which turned out pretty good, although the amount of chow mein compared to the meat was disappointing. The total came to around $13, not including drinks. Overall, service was reasonable and the food could have been better. read more

Wow. I've not been witness to such disinterested management in quite some time. During my entire visit (getting take-out mind you...and it took 16 minutes) what I can only assume was the manager on duty was neither helpful, nor considerate to customers OR employees. They were running low, or were out of several food items (@ 7:00pm on a Sunday) and when I requested these items, I was told that they were cleaning the fryers, and that it would be too long of a wait, choose something else. Pretty hard to do with the limited selection. During my wait for my order to be packaged, I overheard this young woman speaking with a very rude tone to her co-workers...stating that she is the ONLY one that can cook, so the drive-thru is just "gonna have to wait damnit"...yikes! (note: she is the ONLY one that can cook, however she was never in front of a wok...) When my order was complete and ready to be bagged, the young man helping me realized that they were out of bags. He asked a co-worker where they were, she didn't know. He then asked the "manager" and she replied..."huh, we're out of bags...I guess that sucks" The only reason that I am even giving 2 stars is because the food wasn't terrible. Nothing to write home about...but by that point I was simply glad to be out of that awful environment. read more

They are not consistent with their covid policies. Came in and dealt with them wanting us to order online only to have a family come in right after us that they decided to serve without having them order online. Was almost insulting watching that family get to order in-person while Panda Express denied us the same service 1 minute prior. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED in service from the center st location Panda Express this evening at 8:25pm (supposed 5 minutes before lobby closing but NO HOUR SIGNS and A PERSON ALSO EATING IN THE LOBBY) My family of six with baby and I began to order but the immature 18 yo woman working proceeded TO NOT MENTION THE LOBBY WOULD BE CLOSING as she continued to fulfill our order. To add, the woman let my mom and my two other daughters order before mentioning anything. When my daughter and I stepped up to order, we wanted chow mein. The bowl was low but the we agreed to wait for the next bowl. The woman then said "sorry ma'am, the lobby is closing and we can't serve you chow mein." She then said "the drive through is open til nine but we can't make this food for you." To me, this lady just sounds ridiculously idiotic because does she not realize that she is making food for the drive through, but she couldn't serve the people right in front of her. I would like to say that I am extremely upset about the laziness and stupidity of the people that don't want to do their jobs these days. I mean without my service as being their customer, their bills would not be paid. It is truly so sad that the world has come to this. My daughter said "i guess i'll have your rice" but when we finally decided to leave this RUDE business, the worker threw the rice from the box back into the rice container so unsanitary. Before you think i sound like a Karen, I have worked since 6:30am and attended a softball game, so my family and I were expecting an evening to eat dinner and relax. But instead my mother and two other children had to take their food to go while my husband, baby, and other daughter were refused to be given food unless through drive through. My husband told them that we were going to chick fil a as we knew that their service was guaranteed to be better. As we were proceeding to leave with already VERY DISAPPOINTED opinions about this location, we were approached by the store manager. He asked "sir what is wrong" to my husband and my husband went to tell him about how his employee refused to feed us chow mein in person "because they couldn't make it" but we're able to serve it to the people in the drive through. My husband then said "not to mention, she didn't say ANYTHING about it being closing hours for the lobby" then he also said "how was i supposed to know that your lobby was closed when there are NO SIGNS on your windows or doors that your lobby closed at 8:30." When the manager looked at the door with no signs, his face was blank. He had nothing to say about that or the way his other employees were disrespectfully treating us. When I mentioned the fact that I would be making this post the manager said "have fun with that!" with a smile, not trying to understand or help us at anytime. When we finally got home, I tried a bite of my daughters food and found out that their chicken had tasted mushy and like it was sitting out all day as well as their rice that is always dry as a bone and not appetizing at all. MY FAMILY AND I ARE VERY MAD AND WILL NOT BE RETURNING BACK TO THIS PANDA EXPRESS BECAUSE OF OUR EXPERIENCES HERE! read more

This place is super slow they told me 20 mins for teriyaki chicken been waiting over 30 mins already

I bring my family here often and we enjoy the food. The kiddos usually ask to come here too! The thing that I really appreciate is how nice the employees are. Ahmed, in particular, has been such a pleasant person. He's always very kind to my kids and always has a smile. So...thank you to whoever hired him! He's been awesome! read more

One of two brand new stand-alone Panda Express locations in Omaha. First impressions are great. They offer a fairly wide selection of american-ized Chinese food served cafeteria-style. I ordered the combination black pepper chicken & broccoli beef with steamed rice and a bowl of hot & sour soup. Everything tasted great, and was dished up very quickly. Even though this first visit was dine-in, they also have a drive-thru, but it appeared to not be in service. They did just open. read more

Good drive through food, however tonight the girl working the drive through was not very friendly. I'm a little hard of hearing and had to ask her to repeat something a couple times. Then when I got to the window she handed me my food, and when I asked her for some hot mustard she rolled her eyes. She also didn't say a word, like thanks, or have a good evening... Yeah is fast food, but pull the stick out of your rear. read more

There are times when you just don't know what to prepare for dinner, and the nearby Panda Express provides a convenient solution. Everyone in the family can have something they like. The food is fresh, tasty, and the restaurant is clean and neat. Most often we will eat in but sometimes get the dishes to go; either works but a bit of the taste seems to be lost in the take-away experience. read more

They open at 10:30...I arrived at 11:30, along with half a dozen other customers. The doors were locked and an employee came out and stated that it would be 15 or so minutes before they actually open...I've never heard of this happening at a Panda Express location. I'll stick to going to one of the other around town, had one too many less than great experiences at this location. read more

I so much want to like this place, trust me, I do. But wow, Panda disappoints once again. No soup. No fortune cookies? You ran out you say? Would that be just another clue to inept management? I think so. I was shuffled through the line so fast, I don't think they even greeted me or thanked me. Just wow. read more

Have been giving them several visits, but still the same issue. The amount of vegetables vs meat is ridiculously unfair. Meat is about five times less than vegetables in a mushroom chicken order, I bought broccoli beef and was the same.... yesterday was my last time there. read more

I've never been very impressed with food-court-in-a-mall Chinese food and that's basically all this is. Pre-made piles of buffet chinese food sitting under lamps is not my idea of good food. Call me crazy but I like to have my order prepared after I place it. There is no reason to eat here when there are much better choices nearby for the same amount of money. Hong Kong Cafe, JC Mandarin and Grand Fortune are all much better. read more

This is America, and you have to carry sweetener. You may not like it but its just how it is. Don't be odd.

I went through the drive thru and ordered at 8:01 p.m. With one other car in front of me I did not get my order until 8:18. I also had to correct my order at the window. It is ridiculous a "fast food" order would take almost a 1/3 of an hour to get an order. When I got home the food was so salty it was not eatable. It will be a long time before I ever consider going to Panda Express again. read more

I've ate at a panda express before, but this one must have had all the wrong people working here. The crab rangoons taste like cardboard with mushy stuff inside it. I ordered hot and sour soup and it was so congealed I almost threw up! My entree wasnt anything special and it took them 15 minutes to cook it and I waited even longer to get it. I'm so unimpressed! I'll never eat here again, at least at this location. And I didn't even get a fortune cookie :( read more

Perhaps there are peak times to go when the food is better, but the past few times that I've eaten here, my food had just sat out so long that it was soggy and sad-looking. I got a bowl of hot and sour soup once and it essentially tasted like a bowl of lukewarm, day-old gravy, BLEGH! read more

Food was pretty bland but not bad. Service was friendly though seemed rushed despite the fact that no one else was waiting. Drinks are giant. read more
