    This place is great, and I'm not sure why we hadn't tried it sooner! We saw this spacious location a few weeks back, and it is larger than most Panda Express locations we have seen, and made a commitment to try it one day. The wife and I ordered just one item for our lunch - a 3 entree "bigger" plate for $12.10 and we knew it would be plenty for both of us. On top of that great value, we used their mobile app for the first time, and also saved an additional 20%. For the 3 entrees, we picked their signature orange chicken, Beijing beef, and teriyaki chicken, and made the one side a 1/2 of white rice and 1/2 chow mein. It was a delicious and satisfying lunch for us. There was a bit of excess battering on the orange chicken, but that was just fine. For the price, one really can't complain. Next time, we may try the broccoli beef and kung pao chicken, and they have plenty of delicious entrees to try. This is a busy location and there was a continuous line at about 12:30pm on a Wednesday and that surely helps to keep all of the entrees hot and fresh. The dining room is very spacious, airy, and comfortable. I'm a big fan now of this location in particular, but also of the chain itself for its economical and delicious offerings.

    This Panda is the bomb dot com! Staff were friendly, service was speedy and my food was hot and fresh. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of inside seating. Highly recommend this location!

    I was passing through this area, and I saw a Panda Express . I haven't been to one in a long time and this location was really good . A lot to choose from, and everything was available in large portions, I had the Kung Pao chicken and orange chicken with rice and noodles , everything was good and I would recommend this location

    I really like this location of Panda Express in Skokie. Seems renovated or opened recently. Not crowded, short lines, quick service. The food is good, as usual.

    Bathroom no diaper changer, not baby friendly

    This place is always busy, the food was hot and the service was fast. They also give you a sample if you are unsure of what to eat. They had some new entrees on the menu, both were on the spicy side. They have fried vegetable rice, steam rice, lo mein noodles, and some beef, shrimp, and chicken entrees to make your plate. The restrooms are not baby friendly, they don't have a diaper changer. They also have a kids menu, which come with one entree side, your choice of rice or noodles, a chocolate chip cookie and a soft drink of your choice all for under $5.00.

    Mmmm..hungry

Clean restaurant..can't complain...thank you!!! 100% satisfied, First impression in Chicago!!

    This to the left is how much cabbage was in this one bowl from the chow main noodles I had 6 pieces of chicken Really that was. $ 7.00

    This is all cabbage from my lunch bowl I had 6 pieces of chicken to the left came out of that one bowl for $7.00

    Plastic

    The fact that I had to make 2 trips and I don't get the miscommunication between managers I told them I paid cash and they couldn't refund my 30 dollars and offer a gift card and r something considering I found plastic in my food and I go to panda atleast once a week this is not my usual location but I expected more smh they just want to replace the food and wanted me to wait another day till the contacted the owner and why they couldn't say that the first day

    Fresh,fast good service. Prices aren't as inexpensive as they used to be tho. Picked up a large order of the steak dish for Hubs..not looking at the prices,big mistake! Cost 14 bucks!! OUCH!! COULD HAVE HAD A STEAK DINNER ELSE WHERE! all.in all ok, grandson loves the place, so before or after the movies,nice little date.

    Chicken and more chicken

    See all

    What I didn't know was that I had to wait like 15 seconds before they rolled out fresh orange chicken.

The ordering process was easy -- I was able to customize it and request curbside pickup and place my order in just a few minutes. So far, so good. My only disappointment was that there was no way to request that it be toasted. But since I was trying to avoid people and crowds, I decided going into the store to do that wasn't worth it. I drove the less than five minutes to the store, and parked in one of the curbside pickup spaces, arriving about three minutes before my sandwich was to be ready. And then I sat. I watched several customers go in, order, get their sandwich, and leave. Ten minutes after the scheduled pickup time, I called the restaurant, knowing there must be a disconnect somewhere. There were no customers in the store, yet the phone rang, and rang, and rang, with no pickup. After over 20 rings, I gave up and hung up. I finally realized I was going to have to go in. I'd gotten in the car in my favorite work-from-home outfit, a long black caftan -- not something I'd usually wear out in public except in and out of the car. But it looked like I had no choice. I climbed out and walked to the door, opened it, and stuck my head in. "My curbside pickup order?" I said. He replied jovially, "Your sandwich is right there," pointing to a rack near the counter. "It's curbside pickup," I responded, and went back and climbed in the car. He came right out after me, and to his credit, he did apologize over and over. But he also re-read the receipt, where it clearly said "curbside pickup," as if to verify that I was telling the truth. I asked him why this confusion happened, and he said he just hadn't noticed that it was curbside. Hmmm ... I'd think, during a surge in the pandemic, that it might be kind of important to check that. He started to hand me my sandwich through the window, but stopped and pulled it back and studied the receipt again, then he shoved the sandwich toward me with the receipt facing me, pointed to one item, and said, "MVP - what is this?" It was all I could do to control my impatience. I calmly said, "That's MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette, the topping you were supposed to put on my sandwich. Are you saying you didn't do that?" "No," he replied. "I don't know what that is." I looked at him, speechless. "Here, I remake," he said. I told him no, that wasn't necessary, but that he needed to learn what toppings were and weren't available at his restaurant, and let corporate know if they didn't have that one. I thought I was pretty civil, but by now I was 15 minutes late leaving the restaurant, and had a work meeting I was supposed to be calling into at home at right about that time. I made sure I mentioned that to him, too. He kept apologizing profusely, but by then the damage had been done. The sandwich was okay, not great. I'd ordered double meat, and that made it pretty good, but the bread would have been much better toasted. I saved half of the sandwich for the next day, when I put some butter and garlic powder on it and toasted it under the broiler before re-adding the meat, onions, and pickles, and that made it much better. Too bad I can't request toasted from the app. That's a definite minus for me. But the real minus was the guy in the store who just didn't seem to care, and didn't bother to find out what he didn't know. Will I go back? With Jersey Mike's just a few doors down, and Penn Station at the other end of the shopping center, it's doubtful I will. If there wasn't so much good competition nearby, then maybe. The sandwich was fine, but the overall experience was a definite downer.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not taking my first sip until I had already pulled away, and I would have been late for work if I would have turned around to go trade in the sugar bomb for what I actually ordered. Way to ruin my morning, McDonald's! I noticed that this location does not use stickers on their coffee cups that identify what order is in what cup. If they would consider doing that, that seems like it would be a small step that would greatly diminish the possibility of mix-ups such as this happening. Now I do not trust this particular location anymore to give me my actual order, and will need to switch over to stopping at DD in the mornings, instead. Again - ugh! :(
