    Orange Chicken
    Ivan B.

    Panda Express will always hold a special place in my stomach. I remember going to Panda Express at mall food courts and it was the first place I ever had American Chinese food. I ordered takeout with noodles, chicken teriyaki and the famous orange chicken. Also ordered a side of rangoons. The noodles were nice, chewy and not over cooked. It had a mild flavor which I like since the entrees have plenty of flavor. The chicken teriyaki was flavorful and juicy. I like that they use dark meat for the teriyaki because it doesn't dry out as easily. The orange chicken is almost a must order when you go to Panda Express. The chicken to breading ratio isn't the best but it's what Panda is known for. It was still slightly crispy even after being doused in sauce and it had a sweet and tangy flavor that goes perfect with some rice or noodles. The rangoons were decent. They were still crispy when I got home but I thought they were lacking in flavor and could probably use a little more filling. Overall, I think Panda is a good place to go if you're looking for a quick and hearty dinner. You have plenty of choices and they have healthier options if that's what you're looking for. Nowadays with food costs going up, I still feel that Panda is a decent deal for the amount of food and quality that you get.

    Sondra was one of the reasons I'm making this place a five stars. One of the best customer service I ever experienced, I love coming here just for her!! The food is good and the price is reasonable. The line is always long but the wait isn't bad at all.

    A great branch for Panda Express!! Sondra made the whole experience remarkable! Great customer service!! Terrific! The whole team entirely made it wonderful but sondra stood out. The food here is fresh tasting as well. Tables are appropriately spaced out between other tables. Clean and organized store. High chairs and pwd tables available. Parking space is ample. Credit/debit/gift cards could be used here. See images for further reference.

    Tofu eggplant

    Eggplant in entree was inedible due to being raw and uncooked. One of the few locations that makes this and it was disappointing. Ask for tofu only.

    Three partially filled Broccoli Beef
    Michele H.

    We ordered online the family size and got two beef with Broccoli Beef, one chicken Grilled Teriyaki Chicken, one Side Fried Rice, and one Side Chow Mein. We also got another large broccoli beef and fried rice. When my husband was waiting for the food, the owner or manager came out from the back and started to scream at the employees right in front of everyone. He was screaming at them to watch what they were doing. They are giving too much food away. So, the employees got nervous and barely filled our containers. The employees didn't then fill the three broccoli beef containers. I was able to put the third container in the other two and make it whole, not overflowing. This left me with an empty container that cost me over $11. Ridiculous On top of them not filling the three containers, they filled half the box with just broccoli and barely any beef. I DO NOT recommend ordering their food ahead because you will get less than you ordered.

    Orange Chicken & Spicy chicken

    Not bad. Came when it was busy so the rice and chicken dishes were nice and fresh. Better here than I've had at airport locations. Service was quick and prompt. Good visit all in all. Quick dinner for $9, not bad.

    Ok, I'll start by saying the service was cool, quick and it's a pretty clean set up. They even have an open kitchen for you to see into, if you're into that, I personally am not but that's just me. Ok, as I've always known, the food at Panda Express always looks better than it tastes. So it was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye for sure but bland beyond belief. The rice was begging for flavor. Some of the veggies in my stir fry were burnt and the beef needed salt. I will say the walnut shrimp were good though. They have a nice sweet glaze but aren't mushy. The chicken teriyaki wasn't that bad either, and it was pretty moist too. It wasn't the worst teriyaki chicken but then again idk if I've actually had bad teriyaki chicken. This just needed more flavor, it felt like a LITE watered down version of teriyaki if I had to describe it. I haven't been to Panda Express in over 5 years and this was a reminder as to why. Highly doubt I'll return. Again the service was smooth and the establishment was clean but the food just didn't tickle my fancy. If you're into mall chinese food then this may be up your alley. For the price I spent, almost $17 for an entree and a drink I was left extremely unfulfilled and sadly let down. I kinda knew better, so I can't really blame anyone for my poor decision to give them another try. Good luck to your taste buds if you choose to venture here.

    The Panda Express I visited only put in about 75% of food. They need to stop robbing people.

    Honey Walnut Shrimp, Orange Chicken, and Chow Mein and Eggplant Tofu, Orange Chicken, and Fried Rice.
    Kimberly S.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch. Everything looked fresh and delicious. We each ordered one of their build your own plates which comes with a side and two entree choices for $7.50 My fiancé ordered the Orange chicken, Eggplant tofu, and fried rice. I ordered the Honey Walnut shrimp (Extra$1.25 up charge), Orange chicken, and Chow Mein. I always get the Orange Chicken here and it was great as usual. Someone suggested the Honey Walnut Shrimp to me and I now have a new favorite. The Shrimp was crispy sweet and delicious... Just perfect! This was a great quick lunch. The restaurant was very clean and everyone was friendly and the food was great. For a quick serve restaurant you really can't get much better. They even have a small patio if you like to dine outside. Definitely recommend...

    Noodles, orange chicken, kung pow chicken and Beijing beef. Cherry coke.

    Food is delicious but as you can see they load up the container with the side dish, either rice or what they call chow mein, which is my favorite. I think they have vegetables too. The entree portions could be a little bigger. The service was decent.

    I love coming to Panda Express whenever  I want a  quick meal but today I found a hair in my food. Actually Two hairs in my food

    Fried rice, chicken and string beans and orange chicken
    Annabelle L.

    So after some months and someone from Panda Express reached out to me, I decided to give this location another try. I decided to skip the mixed veggies because of the bad experience of undercooked vegetables. I had the fried rice with chicken and string beans and orange chicken. The meal was pretty decent. The orange chicken was on point. The chicken and string bean was cooked well and just right. Rice wasn't dry. The service was good today. Although there was a line for dinner, the line moved quickly and before I know it, my family and I are eating. I'm glad I gave this location another try. I guess last time it was just one of those bad days? Not sure but time will tell. I'll be coming back when I'm in the mood for Panda and will update all as necessary.

    Well what a shame. Saw a Bojangles for the first time in my life and had to try it, only to be…read moredisappointed. I went in and it was super big and super empty. They weren't busy at all and the staff member who approached me by the counter looked bored, yet she couldn't bother to answer a simple question and looked annoyed when I tried to ask for advice, with her only pointing to the menu. Sucks that automation is taking away jobs, but I felt deep in my heart for a moment that an AI could've treated me better. To think I worked at fast food once upon a time despite having a college degree during the financial crisis and worked much harder for only $7 an hour, and yeah even with inflation it's nowhere near the minimum wage now. Anyway, I did like the bit of kick in the batter of the chicken sandwich. I didn't like that you couldn't add extra pickles and frankly Popeye's has a better (and cheaper) crispier sandwich, which you can add a spicy sauce to. Oh yeah, looks like Bojangles also charge for sauce. Shouldn't at least one or two come per entree? Literally using the sauce to make your food taste better so we'll want to return, these are bizarre choices fast food chains are making these days. I can go to CFA for a better experience, and staff will seem friendlier and happier there. Even the Wendy's and BK next door have people who are at least chill (instead of downright cold) if not friendlier, which they are. At least the sauce cups are a good size though and I just paid it without a complaint. Still, so much for Southern hospitality! Mac & cheese was also very bland and generic, enough though I thought I read it was made with 4 types of cheese. I'll need to give their tenders and peach cobbler a try next time, but also noticed there was no way to order tenders without making it a combo. Not much of a first impression, what a shame!

    Being a southern fast food chain having it's only location in NJ, of course we had to visit and see…read morewhat all the hype was about. Within a month of its grand opening the lines at Bojangles were insane, so waiting for some of the excitement to die down was definitely a good call. We visited for breakfast without really knowing what the menu consisted of and were surprised to see a good amount of patrons grabbing some early morning eats as well. We opted for the chicken biscuit (+ cheese) and the sausage, egg & cheese biscuit. Biscuits were fresh, fluffy and buttery, they definitely made the sandwich. Unlike other fast food chains you can watch the staff prepare biscuits fresh in front of you, surprisingly rolling the dough out and not premade from frozen! While the sausage wasn't anything special (just tasted like a standard fast food frozen sausage) the chicken was incredible. Crispy, expertly seasoned, I completely understand the hype behind this chain. The Bo Rounds, their version of hash browns, were amazing. Their iced cold brew and coffee were surprisingly good, not something you expect from a fast food place. I'm only giving this 4 stars because it does seem like a good chunk of the original Bojangles menu is missing. I've heard such great things about their fried chicken, but it looks like this location only sells chicken tenders. What a shame, but we will definitely be returning!

Turned out to be a great choice. Although not easy to find on the tail end of a nondescript commercial strip, we saw its sign and walked in to a decent sized dining room with a half dozen booths along one wall and about a dozen tables spread across the remainder. Plenty of original watercolors displayed and for sale on the walls. David the proprietor seemed to be handling most of the operation himself. He sat us, took our order, disappeared into the kitchen to participate in its preparation and served our four courses to us in traditional style - separately as ready. The food was excellent. We chose from both the lunch and regular menu, which were integrated seamlessly. Fried Pork Chop, Crispy Fried Intestine, Fish Fillets in Chili Sauce from the mains, and Orange Beef from the lunch list. I started with Hot &Sour Soup, which was flavorful and loaded with tofu, sprouts, pork slivers and potent vinegar. Loved it! The Pork Chop was deboned and pressed thin. The result was a crisp sliced Katsu-like cutlet with nice flavor and long crunchy chew. The Intestine was also crisp and filled with green beans that mixed well with the hardened shell and soft innards. Not my fave, but my lovely partner ate it enthusiastically. The Fish and Chili was very good, with tender lightly breaded white fish fillets and red chili sauce that included small pieces of celery, sprouts and cabbage, in a large bowl. Finally, the lunch sized Orange Beef was delicious with sweet and spicy amber sauce coating the pieces of lightly crisped beef. Ubiquitous broccoli sprigs added color to the dish. Service was friendly and accommodating. David was happy to interact and talk about his business there. Red Onion is a Five Star keeper.
