    2 item combo not good
    Rick L.

    Food wasn't that good. Seems like a lot of Panda Express are really getting bad and getting bad reviews on YELP. They also charge $.99 for a cup for water. Wife and I both felt sick after about an hour later. We won't be back.

    I love Panda Express, and I like this location. However, I will admit they have their good and bad days... what do I mean by this? Some days the food is really on point, and then on other days the food doesn't taste as good. Sometimes it's not as fresh or seasoned. Besides the food, the service is quick even if there is an enormous crowd in the store. The staff are usually patient and kind regardless of the long lines and attitudes they may receive from guests. I've never had any awful experiences with them, most of my visits are positive as long as the food is great.

    This panda express is even worse than any of the others, they'll let two people in the restaurant to order while everyone else waits outside and you have to have a muzzle to even be on the property. FYI, this is the only restaurant that is not allowing inside seating, everything is to go, you have to wait in line to get in, and then exit and wait outside for your order.

    Ordered from Panda the other day. The food was awful. The beef broccoli was mediocre but the fried rice was awful. I won't be going back.

    If you're looking for Chinese noodle cuisine in Waco, this is it! I'm coming from California, so…read moreit was nice to have this authentic place. We tried the stir fry sliced noodles, potstickers, pan fried meat buns (bao), soup dumplings, spicy beef noodle soup with hand pulled noodles. I highly recommend the pan fried meat buns which are huge! The fluffiness of the dough is the right texture. I also highly recommend the stir fry sliced noodles. This is was on point for the texture of the noodles and how this dish really should be. This is a signature dish of northern China. The spicy beef noodle soup had the spicy heat but it was not too spicy. This was more like the China version of this soup with beef pieces vs the Taiwanese version with braised beef shank slices. It had the nice addiction of bok choy, which is a staple. But also had sliced carrots and shiitake mushrooms. The hand pulled noodles of this dish was definitely the highlight and were the real deal. Long and great texture. The potstickers had wrappers that were notably thinner and a ton of meat inside. This tasted more like Korean mandu dumplings. The soup dumplings were also bigger than what is typically had in California. The wrappers were not as super thin on these (probably due to the size) and was not as super juicy, but I'm comparing to the pinnacle of soup dumplings from Ding Tai Fung in California. Staff was super friendly and checked on us a couple of times. I'd definitely would come back.

    Okay I came here about 3 months ago and tried this place and thought I ordered the wrong thing I…read morejust didn't like what I ordered. It was the shrimp tempura and the stir fry noodles. Service was great as well and clean place. I decided to try it again and fell in love with their noodle soups, vegtable fried rice and the service was amazing!! Food was out within literally maybe 7 mins!! Staff is very nice food is amazing and reasonable pricing for the amount of food that you get!! IM IN LOVE AND WILL BE BACK!! So excited I came back and got to try it again and loved it because my husband loves this place!!

    Everything about this place was so so good food and drinks amazing 10 out of 10 unfortunately I…read moredon't live in Waco but if I did, I'd be there all the time. I will definitely try to stop by as often as I can when I'm traveling through!! here's an updated menu for this location as well as some pictures as of the interior! Service was also very good!

    Drink: I ordered a large peach green tea with boba, no ice,…read moreand it was fantastic. The tea was brewed beautifully , fresh, balanced, and not syrupy sweet like some other boba spots. The boba itself was perfectly chewy and just sweet enough to complement the drink, not overpower it. I also really appreciated that, even with no ice, they filled my cup completely to the top. Simple, thoughtful detail and it makes all the difference. Service: The staff here was genuinely kind and patient. I asked a few questions about sweetness levels and tea bases (I'm mindful about sugar intake), and they answered every one with care, no judgment, no pressure, no upselling. They made the drink exactly how I ordered it and didn't try to push other menu options on me. That respect and attentiveness go such a long way. Ambiance: Cha Community has such a warm, creative vibe, red brick walls, cozy coffeehouse energy, indie music, local art, and stickers that make the space feel personal and loved. The whole café smelled amazing, and you can tell they've put heart into the details. It's the kind of place that feels like a little pocket of calm and connection in the middle of the day. Overall: Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Waco. The experience was night and day, proof that quality, care, and consistency matter more than anything else. Refer to my Poppa Bear review if you want the comparison, but honestly, just come to Cha Community first.
