    Food was good, not great & what's expected from a Panda Express. This location, they put way too much oil on their food and it's just drenched in it. Other than that, Audrey (cashier) had a cute smile.

    Best food ever great customer service 10 out of 10 must try again it was very Skibidi.

    Glass in my spring roll!

    Placed a Panda Express order and ordered spring rolls and bit into a piece of glass in the spring roll!! Please check your order if you ordered around 11:40.

    I've had some great experiences here with the customer service but a few unpleasant ones as well, thankfully those were years ago and haven't occurred since. I come to this panda pretty often given its proximity to my job so I'm very familiar with the staff and everything that comes with it. They get stupid busy during lunch time, as can be expected with any spot located in l'enfant during lunch. This place is located in the back of the plaza so I think it misses even more of the foot traffic it would receive being in the front of the plaza. The food is usually very fresh and flavorful, especially their take on super greens. Love love love their super greens. I also like that they have the lil free entree offerings if you fill out the survey on the receipt, check your receipts!!! The pricing is inexpensive, especially when you do the free entree. The location is clean for the most part. Love the ladies that work the registers, they are so pleasant!

    What is this? The texture wasn't chicken. Yuk!

    I ordered the teriyaki chicken and the pepper chicken. I started eating the teriyaki chicken and it just didn't look like chicken. The texture was rubbery and slimy. I couldn't eat it. The rice was dry. I'm done with this place.

    My husband and I decided to grab some breakfast/lunch at Union Station before our ride out to one…read moreof the museums today! We've only eaten at Canes in Nashville but weren't overly pleased that time! This time wasn't much better. Our meals were definitely prepared quickly for as busy as the location appeared to be. We both ordered a 3-finger combo with fries and a large drink. The meals were NO WHERE close to resembling the meals in the picture menu featured in the order kiosk. The chicken fingers were barely the size of sardines and the fries barely matched the size of a kids McDonald's happy meal French fry (approximately 15 non-crinkle cut fries.) The drinks delivered were normal medium size drinks at any other chain... passed off as large drinks. The Cane's sauce tasted very diluted or watered-down. This was NOT a visit that would make us want to return to this location nor to the chain in another location. Absolutely NOT a $27 meal but most definitely an unexceptional experience.

    I honestly do not see the draw to a place like this. Especially on is such a busy building where…read morethere is standing room only. It is chaotic and so unorganized. Typical for a place like this it is loud, packed, and overwhelming. There are kiosks to order if you prefer not to talk to a person and the traditional registers where you have to talk to a person. Once ordered, you just wait around for your food and hear your name shouted. The food was dry, as expected. But for a quick-ish lunch, this place will do. It's nearly quick I should say, all dependent on the amount of people standing around in here.

    This was my first visit to Nando's in downtown DC. I ordered the half chicken with no sides, and…read moremedium spicy sauce. The chicken came out with blackened edges because of their preparation method. I don't prefer that taste, but others may. I did not find the sauce to be particularly spicy so I added the 'extra hot' sauce on the side, which helped to add more flavor. Surprisingly, the chicken breast was very moist, along with the thigh. The ambience is casual and relaxed. There are plenty circular or modular seats along with smaller tables along the back end of the restaurant. My biggest complaint was their restrooms. They have gender neutral restrooms; two stalls total. Both restrooms were in great need of cleaning with a LOT of bodily fluids all along the toilets and floors. Also, there was no option for hand towels, only an air blower to dry your hands, which is one of the most disgusting ways to dry freshly washed hands. I recommend either creating one male and one female stall instead of unisex because men and women have very different habits in the restroom. On the positive side, Carolina and Barian were quite helpful and kind. They made the overall experience better.

    I visited Nando's PERi-PERi for dinner on July 8, 2026, around 7:00 p.m. with a group of eight. A…read morefew of us were first-time visitors, so after being seated, we waited for someone to take our order. Unfortunately, the hostess never mentioned that we needed to order at the counter. There was a sign, but it wasn't very noticeable when we walked in, so we completely missed it. A quick explanation when we were seated would have made a much better first impression. Once we realized how ordering worked, everyone went to the counter. I ordered last, but my meal was fairly simple: The Wingman (6 wings with PERi Chips and PERi-PERi ranch) plus a side of rice from the kids' menu. Everyone else received their food, ate, and finished before my order ever came out. To the staff's credit, one employee noticed I still hadn't been served and appeared to rush my order. When my food finally arrived, I was disappointed to find one of my six wings was so small and burnt that it wasn't edible (see photo). Some of the other chicken served to our table was also a little over-charred. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the lavender lemonade, and I liked the variety of PERi-PERi sauces available to customize the flavor and heat level. Overall, the experience had some service and food quality issues, but there were enough positives that I'd be willing to give Nando's another try. Hopefully, the next visit will be smoother.

I ended up getting a kids meal--steak quesadillas, rice, fruit, and a drink--and honestly, it was perfect.

Like, respectfully--this could take anyone out, adults included . But luckily I had two water bottles on me, so I made it work. I poured half into one bottle and diluted both, and that drink ended up lasting me the rest of the day. Honestly, the whole experience felt like a small win.
