Panda Express is what it is. Kinda like pizza, even if just okay, I'll still eat it. I do really like their chicken items and classic noodles. People are very nice and the line moves fast. I will say get it fresh or wait for a new batch if something you're eyeing is getting low. I've even asked and, while maybe not policy, they have made a new one if willing for just park at a table for a few minutes. This food doesn't travel excellent. For me it's like in between Safeway Chinese (which I like, if you know you know) and a restaurant. For the price, a solid choice. Great for kids. read more

I agree with several other reviews I've read about this Hazelwood location of Panda Express, the prices are good and the service is quick. However, I've had so much variance in the quality of the food from this specific location that it gives me pause to consider coming again. On several occasions the orange chicken has been hard and chewy, and difficult to eat. In addition, the broccoli and other vegetables we so overcooked they were mushy and quite inedible. I did notice someone ask to taste a sample of several of the dishes last time I was here, I may consider doing the same thing if I come back. Perhaps that will enable me to determine whether the food is fresh or not. The store itself is always clean, and the parking lot is quite large. Halsey/122nd is a high crash intersection, so please use caution when entering and exiting the parking lot. I've seen far too many serious accidents here in the past. read more

I don't know if this guy's name but he's a young white male, and I had told him my order which he had never took and I had waited there for 15 minutes past my break at work. The lady at the cashier was nice and helped me, but I do not appreciate the long wait when I had literally just got a side NOT A MEAL and also had to re-order twice. read more

1. when I tell you i dont understand the question, saying it slower doesn't do anything but piss me tf off. 2. don't comment on my dog when I'm clearly not happy with your customer service, I'm not playing nice with you anymore!!! 3. I understand if it's "the state" that put in place that you are charging for a bag but to tell me yeah if you don't want to pay for it I would just put everything in your hands is f-ing absurd. 4. If you're going to hire children, make sure they leave their attitude at the door Edit: 5. I guess I shouldnt be surprised that my plate with chow mein and honey walnut shrimp is bland and my shrimp breading is soggy and falling apart read more

This is the only Panda Express that still serves Black Pepper Chicken. Today I ordered it through Uber Eats. It took One hour and twenty minutes to arrive and was predictably cold. But the grossest worst part is the bone that chipped my back molar. Completely foul and lawsuit worthy but Uber could care less. My relationship with both companies is over. See you in court. read more

I've been to many different Panda Express locations and I'm always impressed by how hard the staff works. I always notice the workers hustling to get everyone's food even when it's busy. For 11 dollars, the bowl is a decent deal, not bad at all. It's enough to get you full. The orange chicken is delicious and the fried rice is a bit plain on its own but it goes well with the orange chicken. Definitely my favorite way to eat it! read more

Super duper helpful guy (I think his name was Nelson?)! Catering order came out a hit with the staff, thanks again!

This is the "plate"... why did I say super greens and was given a stock of a cauliflower and a piece of broccoli with some sad kale?... no chicken in my "sting bean chicken." Do better yall. Tasting like old microwave noodles. I better better ramen than this read more

Panda Express - The "plate" - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Customer service would get negative stars. The employees are so lazy. There were like 10 employees working and half of them watched a houseless individual clearly under some type of influence to harass each and every Customer to buy her a meal. There was another woman passed out in front of the door. And why do the employees act like it's such a big ask to mix the refreshers? They're literally all the same price so what difference does it make? They act like they're brewing it or squeezing the fruits by hand. Laziest folks I've seen in a while read more

I got a medium entrée teriyaki chicken paid 8.40 and it's not full. The employees were really nice and I understand that the business is trying to save money but you this is wrong. The chow mein noodles seem really thin and dry, soft n chewy. This panda is not my normal location, maybe the patrons at this area enjoy different style of food. read more

I ordered online to be delivered on 9.12.25. The delivery was before 11:00 and I ordered it at a little after 10:00. The order was sent and delivered very efficiently. The issue is the rice was really dry. The chow mein also seemed a little old. I really feel I got reheated from the day before. The moral of the story if ordering right after they open, be ware of possibly getting day old food. I was very disappointed. read more

Sent my sister to the Oak Grove Oregon location for Orange Chicken with Rangoon for me and this is what came back. Spicey Chicken over the same spiced noodles so hot I could not eat it. Tried several times to ingest it because I had surgery and didn't want to have go back. Didn't think I needed to either. The Rangoon was awesome but that wasn't enough to eat. This was the 2nd time at this location so I probably won't return read more

Super positive workers, they seemed like they wanted to be there. Also great orange chicken at this location, always!! Thank you!!

We have been to the Mall 205 location about 6 times. Today, as well as 2 other times we left to head home and discovered that our order wasn't complete. They staple the bag closed whenever we pick our stuff up. So, it's not an easy thing to check to see if our order is complete before we leave to go home. The last two times, I drove back up to get the things that they left out. Tonight, we made it all the way home and I just didn't have it in me to drive a 4 mile round trip just to get one thing that I ordered. The food is pretty decent. The things that make it into the bag are pretty good. So, my advice is that if you order from this location, absolutely make sure that the order is correct before you leave. I've certainly learned my lesson. And... I'll probably order from a different one from now on. read more

Not all Panda Express's are the same. The menu and the recipes from location to location will be about the same. But the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the physical facility can vary a lot This one is a nice one. This store is very bright and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food all looked very fresh on the steam tables. We're here to yet enough Food for 4 people. We chose a total of 7 different items plus Brown rice. Five of these items were small entree cartons , ala carte. Two were medium size. All the items plus 1 small dolphin drink came to $38.10. We took it back to my brother's apartment and had dinner. I'm happy to report that it was plenty of food for the 4 of us With some left over.Our favorites were the string beans with chicken breast, broccoli beef, and the mushroom chicken. The one loser Item was the item that was heavily advertised on TV, the Szechuan Chicken appetizer. It was too dry and the flavor was not very complex nor interesting. Obviously, this is not fine dining. The food is just OK. But when you consider the speed come up the convenience come up the price and the variety, it's not a bad experience. Jim read more

My 19 year old daughter just called to place an order for some catering. The lady that picked up the phone was extremely rude and passive aggressive. My daughter only spoke with manners and with no aggression. I didn't get this employee's name. This isn't the only time I've gotten bad service here. The staff are lazy, unclean, and unfriendly. I would rather go to the Panda Express on 122nd and Halsey. read more

This location is always super busy, so expect to wait for awhile. Kinda of irritated because I ordered my food at 12:45 and scheduled it for 1 and I've been waiting for awhile and then was told it would take almost another 10 mins (so my order is now 20 mins late). People who ordered much later than me have been getting their food before me and the staff is very passive for the most part. Glad I wasted my lunch to sit and be ignored. Edit: food was cold read more

Worst customer service. All the employees had gave attitude , acted annoyed customers were even there. Rude ad hell...

The ladies working tonight did a fabulous job. Asking how we liked what they had. Super friendly and personable. Thanks to Leslie and her coworkers for making our visit pleasant compared to other nights visited. :) ***** read more

I would have given zero stars if it were possible. Rong, the active manager (or maybe the only one wearing a black polo t shirt in there who decided to step in) was quite possibly the rudest manager I've met. In her words, "I'm not here to serve you, these two are".... wow, just wow. And to Susan, who did nothing at all and just watched as the manager acted out in this manner, to clear this up. You too are in the 'Rong'. Don't visit this location. Gross establishment. Wouldn't even hear us out when they got our order wrong. read more

Went to the Panda Express at mall 205. Was waiting for them to make noodles for about 10 minutes the server had friends come in they waited for noodles and when the noodles was done she started serving them up first while everybody else was waiting so I mentioned shouldn't mind be done first and she just said ma'am everybody is waiting I'll get yours when I get to it read more

I recently ordered for delivery and the food tasted very good. My problem is with the quantity. While there was a generous portion of food for the "sides", there was a dinky amount of food in the "Entrees". I ordered the "Bigger Plate" that comes with 3 entrees and 2 sides, so there was this tiny little box on top of the regular container that had the 3rd entrée - at first look I thought it was some kind of "extra" bonus Christmas item or something to hold the fortune cookie, but No it was the walnut shrimp entrée! read more

Panda Express - The tiny box of walnut shrimp next to my check book for scale - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Cheap and quick. When you have a half hour for lunch you go with simple. I've had enough Subway to last me awhile so I wanted different and staying at Target and grabbing food can be blah, and they gyro place in Mall 205 is nothing special. So in walking distance is a salad place, sushi (that doesn't open til after 11) and Panda Express. Plus one of the McMenamin's places. Panda Express it was. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've been to one. I think the number is three. Twice in Texas, once here. It's not a place I ever go out of my way for. Portland is known for quite a bit of great food. From what everyone says, Chinese is not one of them, or at least East Coast Chinese food. Shandong over in Hollywood is pretty good, but it's different. I ate simple and quick and will admit the mixed veggies were steamed and crunchy. Lots of broccoli, carrots and green beans. My mushroom chicken lacked much chicken and my beef dish was tough on the beef. You'd think that me being there early, the food being fresh(at least I hope so), that it might be a bit better..... oh well. The counter person was friendly! That's all. read more

2 stars cause the food is good & never had a problem with it. But customer service is a big factor to me and i'm unimpressed. I've shown up with 10-15 minutes before actual closing time to them having no food and being essentially closed. I understand it's not the nicest thing to do to showing up last minute,but I wouldn't be asking them to make anything just for me.. But at least be able to choose from the options still in the pans before close. Both times now i've shown up at 10:15 & 10:20 the pans are completely empty and clean. Quite frankly rude in itself if you ask me aswell as discouraging as far as wanting to come here. read more

I visited this panda express while traveling in Portland with my family. we just needed a quick bite and we are familiar with panda express good quality food. The location was nice with plenty of parking around and in a little strip mall not far from our Airbnb. The place was nice and clean with plenty of seating areas for all customers. The service at the counter was really good, waitresses were friendly and generous in allowing us to taste several new flavors They have a particular no chicken dish that I highly recommend, unfortunately I forgot it's name. The large portions were hot; food was fresh and tasty. Really not bad for a semi-fast food place! read more

Yep - I did it and I will do it again . When it comes to dirty greasy Chinese food - which in this case isn't dirty or greasy - why would you go anywhere else ? Everything here is fresh - and if comes out the same every time . Even some of the better "Chinese " restaurants in the area can't get the fry on their chicken dishes right like this corporate gem . but the crowd at this location is a little creepy ... as in who knows what they just did ( or maybe buried ) before coming here ? I kid .. My only point of contention is with the staff - they were literally screaming orders at each other while us creepy patrons were quietly eating . They were soooo loud and disruptive I just wanted to tell them " Hush !!!!!!" It was the manager as well. Way way way too loud . Hush , hush , hush hush . I hope someone can offer the staff some training and help them to understand that space is shared and no one wants to be subjected to screaming of orders or weird questions about how much an employee weighs . I'm not saying don't chat - do what you need to - but do it respectfully , which ALWAYS means quietly . read more

I have always liked this particular Panda Express location. But this evening was impressive. Lots of people and you could see the online orders coming in. The staff were well organized, pleasant. Efficient. Work with a person, do an online, work with a person.... Smooth. I didn't see any disgruntled faces in the crowd. And food was great! read more

I Had mixed experiences with Panda express at this location. Delivery was cold and I paid extra for an item that should have been in a child menu. My advice go with the ma Pa restaurant than this chain for quality and portions. Not impressed with them and Grubhub. read more

Why does this location hire the stupidest workers?! I ask why an order wasn't ready as I drive for a courier service and I get the response "I don't know" and side gossiping as if I all of a sudden can't hear or see anything. The manager of this location needs to get their crap together and get a better team! read more

When I arrived at this Panda Express located at Mall 205 pre Pandemic, I noticed the short wait in the order line. I asked the counter clerk what soft drinks were available... and then I saw there was a soda fountain. I ordered a medium size drink. She said I could get a refill whenever I wanted. I asked about the dinnertime rush. She said there really isn't one until about 6:45 PM. I asked her about where people park when there isn't any parking inside the smaller parking lot out front. She said... there's a bigger parking lot to the south. I asked a few more questions about the Sauce that is on the Orange Chicken. She asked me if I was going to buy a meal with my soda pop. I replied that I would usually, yes... but, my Darling Husband prefers to eat at a different local Chinese restaurant a few blocks north. I asked her if she was the manager on duty that afternoon. She said,... "It's already the evening shift." So, I asked her again if she was the manager on duty. She said the manager had already left earlier. I asked her if she knew why so many people go to the other Panda Express locations. She said... it's because of the Broccoli Beef... that meal is very popular. I asked her what she was going to eat for her free meal. I recommend ordering some soda pop at this Panda Express if you are looking for something to drink while you are shopping in the neighborhood of Mall 205. read more

Probably the worst Panda I have been in on the West Coast! Horribly small servings! I would avoid this location! Have been in various locations up and down west coast and this is by far the worse! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ugh. Can I give something negative stars? Nothing is good about this place (which is sad, because I have been to the original Panda Inn in Glendale, and it is pretty dang good). My dad is in town, and he wanted to go here so he and his wife could get something that "they would know that they liked". I hadn't been to one of these places in years, and I generally avoid fast food (except for Popeye's and the occasional Burgerville), but I agreed to go anyway. I especially avoid bad Chinese food, because it is so prevalent, and bad Chinese is REALLY bad. Well, this is one such place. Anyway, we went, it sucked. The service was, of course, fast, but the food was nasty. The broccoli beef was tasteless (somehow they have a magical sauce that can cover up even the light, natural flavors of beef and broccoli, and make them taste like nothingness). The chow mien was gross. The "mandarin chicken" was the usual lowest-common-denominator: sweet + salty + chicken. I was hungry, and it was paid for, so I ate it. I hated myself all afternoon for doing so, though. All of the fortune cookies are depressingly cheerful (and all carry the corporate Panda name below the fortune). Everyone knows that their fortune is not going to be all good, and usually, when you go out to Chinese, at least one person at the table gets the ambiguous fortune, such as "Use caution when commuting to work tomorrow", or the ever alarming "Enjoy your life to the fullest" (the second one always seems like it should have an ellipses at the end). Here, it seems, everyone is destined to be rich, famous, or at least well loved. I call BS. Next time my dad comes to town and wants to go to Panda, I will either a) go somewhere else nearby and get food, like a 3-week old sandwich from the cooler at the am/pm; b) forage through the nearest dumpster for the least rotten non-panda food morsel I can find; or c) go hungry. Any self respecting human should avoid this place at all costs. read more

Terrible service and roaches.. Stood there for 30 minutes waiting for my order. Turns out they just weren't making it. "Forgot" about it. Never eat here. read more

Look, Panda is Panda. It's as authentic a Chinese meal as Taco Bell is old-style Mexican. So there's that. This location features one particular staff member that adds a twist to the standard Pandafare, though. She SCREAMS at people. There were six people in the place. Quiet as quiet gets. Except when she "talked". She wasn't mean. Just incredibly loud, enough that the few other patrons in there were clearly noticing it, too. She smiled. Then she yelled at you. Then she smiled again. It was odd. read more

This place will NOT be earning my business again. I got there and tried to get in the side door. It was locked. I figured "maybe it's an emergency exit", nope. When I went inside it was marked "during business hours this door must remain unlocked." That's a fire egress code violation, yall can get fined a lot of money for that. When I went to get my food, I noticed that everything was almost gone. This was at 8:30 and they close at 10:30. That's unacceptable. For a place that doesn't serve your food fresh, they should have everything full, ready to go at all times. Even the sauces were empty. They literally scraped the bottom of the container to give me the sauce that came with my teriyaki chicken. It looked like tar. It was gross. I ordered half chow mein and half fried rice. They filled the container full of chow mein and gave me maybe a quarter cup of fried rice. That's just annoying. I eventually sat down with my food and went to start eating my teriyaki chicken and noticed that when they cut it they didn't cut it completely. it wasn't in individual strips, they were still connected a little bit. I managed to break it apart and took a bite and it was just gristle and connective tissue. There was no meat at all in this big bite of chicken that i took. That ended up being like half my portion of chicken was just gristle and fat. In addition, the orange chicken I got was not very well sauced and soggy. Not crispy at all like it's supposed to be. But what really did it for me was the horrible condition their bathroom was in. The floor was literally flooded. I'm talking like a half inch of water on the floor. And instead of cleaning it up like a responsible employee would, they just decided to throw in a wet floor sign. Nothing makes me angrier than such a blatant disregard for your patrons' safety. Imagine somebody in a wheelchair trying to transfer from their wheelchair to the toilet on the slippery floor. That's a lawsuit. Regardless of whether or not you had the wet floor sign up. I noticed when I went to order that there were like three employees just hanging out in the back area doing nothing. They could have been doing literally anything else. They could have been refilling the food, or mopping the floor in the bathroom, or literally anything else. I think the employees here are lazy and management is probably poor as well for not getting on top of their lazy employees. I will not be returning. read more

Panda Express - Delicious and fresh! - Chinese Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Two stars is generous. I'm amazed at how they can take as many ingredients as they do and they can make dishes with no flavor. Today's entrees were Black pepper chicken and Beijing beef. While the chicken had good pepper flavor the veggies were lost. The beef was not good at all. Such small pieces and they are fried to complete oblivion. Save your money for the vast choices that abound here in P Town. read more

Maybe I'm just used to Californian panda expresses, which aren't always great experiences, but this panda was clean, well run, and the staff members were friendly.

It's exactly what a trip to panda should be. read more
