From walking in post-lunch rush, to the staff making sure my daughter and I were sent off with a happy farewell, this was a pleasant experience at this location! The food was fresh, every person who stood in line, the drive thru, and to-go customers were greeted and made sure they were communicated with. And even past the rush hour, the dining area and bathrooms were very clean! The day was colder than normal, but I was able to take off my coat and enjoy the late daddy-daughter lunch with comfort. The managers on duty seemed to make sure both customers and employees moving at a good pace. Shout out to Calli for her great service! Will definitely be back! read more

The food is awesome and the portions. The service is wonderful and fast!! Great place!!

I went for lunch today to try that brisket bbq but it's expensive as hell small drink would've been almost 20 bucks geez so I passed it n got something else y'all are insane no wonder your reviews are sooo bad .never again read more

My gut instinct said, hell no, but I still decided to give it a go. Nasty rubbery chicken. Dried undercooked and old rice. Mystery beef to go with the undercooked broccoli. Greasy chow mein noodles. Weird garlicky seasoning. It tasted worse than frozen chinese meal. Rubbery, spring rolls. Too bad we have to drive to Pflugerville or other towns to get decent panda. Shouldn't it be consistent at whatever location you go to? We are not going back. Maybe they hired all the former dynasty employees. If you want nasty chinese food temple is your place. read more

The 4 stars are for customer service CA-Asia was positive and welcoming. Even though they had to tell people they ran out of food. Attitude is 90% of the battle. read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Good selection and fair value. Food good for the price. Great kids box meals. Orange chicken good, teriyaki chicken ok, fried rice good. Broccoli excellent. read more

We placed an online catering order a day before for an event we had and needed food for 50 people. The order was almost $500. It was $75 alone for delivery in the same area, so we opted to pick it up. The time was set to pick up at 12:30. We got there right on time and waited over 40 minutes. The food was not ready. They were super dismissive and rude. Nobody tried to help us carry the food out or check that it was even all correct, so me and one friend had tons of stuff to carry. They did not include the fortune cookies or things we asked for on the side and when I asked where the cookies were, she said they were out, but I saw people sitting in there eating and they all had them and they were selling bags of them at the register. Also, it was just lunch time how were you out when it's not of the only things you need to keep stocked... Nobody updated us while we were waiting. We stood there forever, even standing where we could ask somebody a question and nobody acknowledged us. We will never do a meal from here again. At very minimum they should've had the food ready on time. They had plenty of heads up they knew we were coming and the customer service was absolutely unacceptable. We stood in the online pick up area for about 10 or 12 minutes before anybody acknowledged us and then when the lady did, she just looked at us and said it ain't ready and walked off. No apologies. Nothing. read more

On March 6th, I was contacted by American Express when my credit card was fraudulently used twice at this Panda Express location in Temple, Texas (I'm in California). They took immediate action to block any further transactions and investigate. I was then surprised to find email confirmations of the fraudulent dinner orders, using my Panda Express account. I called the store, but no one answered. I decided to try again a few minutes later and was so glad when Benny answered. After just a couple sentences letting him know that my AMEX was fraudulently used at his store, he apologized for what I was experiencing and was already at the register searching for the orders. In a matter of minutes, he successfully reversed both transactions! Although there was no fault by the store, his sincere empathy for the situation was so kind and much appreciated in that moment. He explained that I should receive emails of the reversals and said to call again should there be issues. Such impressive service from Benny! I hope Panda Express takes notice to recognize and reward his actions. He is a credit to the team and sets the example to follow. read more

They were so overworked and backed up and still pushed food out and food was amazing!!! Service was also amazing super respectful under stress read more

They have a nice dining room area! Service is good and staff are friendly! It's good food for a fast food restaurant! We had the lunch plate choose two. Kung Pao Chicken and Black Pepper Angus Steak with Super Greens! Kung Pao Chicken and Green Bean Chicken with Super Greens! Orange Chicken with Noodles The Super Greens were a little too raw for me. I'd liked them to have been cooked a little more. read more

The always skimp me on honey walnut shrimp. Last time I went, the serving bowl was almost empty and the girl dumped shrimp out of the scoop while she was serving mine, just to leave 2 shrimp in the bowl... and I only got like 5 or 6 shrimp read more

I see why this place doesn't even have 2 stars! Go ANYWHERE ELSE but here! I ordered from Grub Hub and when my driver went to pick up the order, they gave my order away to someone else. My GH driver was so nice and waited there, even recommended that I called the store. She had asked them to re-make the order and they refused. I called and they gave me the same story. Like oh well, we gave it away, you have to deal with GH. I told them this was their error, not mine. They can fix this my simply making my order and giving it to the driver that was waiting for them. They continually refused. Put me on hold. And nothing! I can't even believe customer service this awful still exists. Now, I have to hope that I can get my money back, since this location is truly the worst! I will never eat at a Panda ever again! This was just a few minutes ago. I hope the company reads this review, and takes necessary action for the staff working tonight. My GH driver told me that as soon as they hung up the phone, they were laughing at me. Just atrocious behavior! read more

Love Panda Express! They are quick and food is always on point!!! Clean environment too

The Good: None The Bad: Their lobby was closed at they have the decenc to put a sign directing to the drive-thru. Have you ever ate their food on the go? No? The is because is designed to be eaten while sitting down. In top that their food is not that great and their prices are up the roof, they expect you to eat it on your lap? Must be out of their freaking mind. Management must be smoking crack The Ugly: see the bad above read more

Made the same mistake yet again but NEVER AGAIN! 30 minute wait time for "fast food", missing item I paid for AND HAIR IN OUR FOOD DISCOVERED AT HOME! Unfortunately this place is fun by teenagers it seems like who don't give an F about anything!!! read more

absolutely horrible amount of protein and veggies. This is up there with Chipotle! I couldn't believe they put that amount read more

Panda Express - $10 for a bowl of rice! This is up there with Chipotle Horrible amount of protein - Chinese Near Me - Temple, Texas

Always out of something. It never fails, every single time I run through the drive-through. There is some thing on the menu that they're out of. Rice? Sorry we're out ... how about noodles? Grilled teriyaki chicken? It'll be 15 minutes on that. Would you like to wait ? Let's stick with good ol' reliable, orange chicken. Nope... You guessed it - they just ran out. I feel like I should start asking them what they DO have before placing my order. I'm not sure if they need new ownership or management... Or if the person in charge of making sure the line is stocked needs better training. This location really needs help. read more

Food was not good, don't recommend it! Definitely not worth the price Service was good, polite and fast! Used the drive through,did not go inside read more

Things were pretty slow today, since we had to wait an extra twenty minutes even after ordering ahead online. However, the employees were friendly & things are slightly unexpected during this CoronaDrama! I will give appreciation to the company for offering the $20 family meal during this time, though! read more

Panda Express is my guilty pleasure, but something is deeply wrong with this location. I've given it a few chances, but they are always somehow out of key menu items. If and when you DO manage to get your food, the quality and taste is really... off? Super greens taste like they were cooked in old laundry water, teriyaki chicken is inedibly fatty and charred, chow mein is dry, etc. With rising prices and tanking quality, I won't be back to this location. read more

We always get the orange chicken, teriyaki chicken and beef and broccoli along with fried rice and cow mien noodles. Have enjoyed it every-time, never any issues. Service is very fast, friendly and patient. Haven't tried anything else other than what's listed so no clue on how it tastes or anything. Would recommend read more

Wednesday 8/21/24 at 4 pm, drive through window order placed for the Plate. Out of 2 of the entree options, accepted an option that was #3 desired entree. portions were ample, food was under room temperatur, consistency was mushy and gooey, taste was "Old" as if it had sat for possibly most of the day. For 2 days thereafter, experienced upset stomach similar to what it feels like to have eaten spoiled food. Not first time I e experienced this location not having several menu items. Have eaten food from other locations in Livingston TX and San Antonio TX without these problems. Don't think I can try this W Adam's location Again! read more

Food is always tasty, hot and ready to eat. Service is fast. No matter when you go it's crowded so try off times.

Great food terrible service in my opinion This was my third time coming here. I always manage to get hot and fresh food read more

The Manager was rude ( in my opinion) to a super nice Employee that was helping me out just fine. I don't like how she treated her. Also my plate was super lightweight and I don't think it was worth $15. I see that it gets very stressful for the Employees when to the lobby gets full. I see that they are doing their best in trying to get the food served to us on time. I think the manager shouldn't yell "why are we backed up" the reason is pretty Obvious & Clear. There is a whole bunch of people waiting for their lunches & we are waiting for the food to be cooked. This has nothing to do with the servers in the front, they are waiting for the cooks to get done cooking read more

Hello, I've been in the restaurant industry over a decade so I've got a pretty good understanding how things work for the most part. I've never seen such poor service and standards from a fast food restaurant before in my life. I can not go to the Panda Express on W Adams in Temple, TX past 7:00 pm on any night due to them now having half the menu available and horrible customer service. I would recommend looking at sales data and trends to see why sales are down in the evening and why only certain items are sold. Any other fast food you go to, this would not be acceptable to not have at least 90 percent of the menu available after 700 pm?! Please fix this. Thank you. read more

Why are they always out of food at 7pm? Ridiculous! A 1 is generous!Cream Cheese Rangoons (made me pick an item) read more

Panda Express - Orange chicken and shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Temple, Texas

They run out of food for half the menu or more, more often than not. Basically the only one I've ever seen that does this.

Check and double check always forget egg roll and order missing third entree; broccoli mostly stocks and cabbage is the UNedible parts

My first try at this location. The food line was missing several entre choices. What we did get was disgusting. The staff seemed very unmotivated and trained. Whoever owns this location, you may want to train your staff better. I tried to speak to the manager on duty but was never acknowledged standing there so we threw our food away and left. You can be sure I will post a review on every page available I can find. Me and my family will never be back. read more

Recently moved to the area and tried this location in Temple for a quick bite. Ordered the orange chicken bowl and egg roll. It was so good, I went back 2 more times within a week and a half. The last time I went with husband and granddaughter and we ate inside. 4 star because not a fan of their drink selections. Would have enjoyed zero products like Coke or Pepsi zero (not diet). Picky when it comes to tea. I like nice fresh brewed tea with spenda, but they didn't have that option. I would definitely go back tho because the food was delicious. read more

Horrible customer service first of all. The lady gave no attention and all she wanted to do is hurry me along. Also I got the bigger plat and on the side she gave me a half scoop and I asked for another small scoop a small scoop she refused to put more and read more

Never coming back here - the last 6 months and the service here has deteriorated completely. Today was the last straw - drive through - out of white rice, which is typical, but they missed something I ordered. This place can't get an order right even if they have it! No thanks - I'll take my money to places that do it better and do it right. read more

I should have known from the review rating not to go here, but it' is close to home so stopped. Why is it that they NEVER have steamed veggies available. Twice I have tried to get them and they are always "out" and will have to cook some so there will be a 20 minute wait. This is supposed to be Fast Food. Geez! The food is just ok at best. read more

not once do they ever have everything available- they run out of fried rice consistently. Whenever the lobby is busy they close the drive thru? worst panda I've ever been too, there's ALWAYS something wrong. read more

Horrible service. Ordered delivery only they sent it to the wrong address and they said "there's nothing they could do"! No refund, no nothing. I do not recommend ordering from there at all. read more

We went inside to order. As we were in line they took everyones order in front of us like normal. Then when it was our turn They just ignored us and didn't say anything as to "we'll be with you in a minute." Finally after after I said something someone came to take our order. We told them what we wanted. They said that they were saving it for someone else. Like what the hell! Why even have it out there on the floor for those who are coming inside to ask for. Every time we come here their service is so under par it's ridiculous. I will not be returning here nor will my husband. read more
