    Well, look what's not covered at Panera here on Woodhaven Blvd in Glendale, Queens... Looks like manager Sirjana still doesn't know what she's doing. The lemonade lid was on top of the iced coffee container, leaving the lemonade container fully exposed to air and germs and bacteria. Please see photos below. I hope the district manager, Joel, does something about this....

    My sales receipt, September 17, 2024
    Tina C.

    Lunch on a Tuesday afternoon while in the Glendale, Queens vicinity calls for le pain (French for bread, loaf). This Panera Bread Cafe #204403 is accessible via MTA buses Q11, Q21, Q53 SBS, and Q52 SBS. Customer service is mediocre as my order consist of a complimentary French baguette bread side, but upon pick-up it was not included as I had to voice my interception to be properly compensated for inclusion of a missing item. "If you see something that is not right, say something!" which as a typical New Yorker I take it as a directive. After voicing my missing French baguette bread side the food preparer produced a rude scowl look. The staff who prepares the food orders and packing cannot read the order sales receipt which is clearly itemized line-by-line. Why are the staff utterly careless in their work? Accuracy for order fulfillment is a comical relief to Panera Bread as it is merely for public relations as a false illusion for a facade to be seen. Perhaps is it ergophobia for menial work? Hell no, I do not want to be a Panera Bread rewards or loyalty member!! I opt to take my order out after receiving such beneath and underperforming treatment despite of sufficient in-door seating available. Caesar salad (whole) $9.59 This salad was average, but it was filling and unlike cafes, or food chain restaurants Panera Bread's whole salad contained two (2) plastic condiment cups of Caesar dressing as provided. French baguette bread side This was excessively chevy and average. It does not taste fresh. I sadly miss Paris, France for authentic French baguette bread. Chocolate chipper cookie $2.99 Delicious as I am a enamored with the classic chocolate chip cookie. COOKIE!

    I have not been to this particular Panera for several years. Only one person at the cash register, still have to figure out how to use the kiosk. I like human contact and interaction as well as find out the latest products. Ordered the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich ($10.89) which was very good. It was light and not heavy. After meeting friend over coffee, went back to order lunch for the kids. They have Value Duets for $7.99 (these are fixed item 1/2 sandwich plus soup) went for the Napa Almond Chicken Salad Sandwich with Wild Rice Soup. Soup was a tad salty. Sandwiches were awesome. Never had their bread bowls (sourdough bread) before. Saw so many photos from Yelpers so you got me ordering one with Chicken Noodle Soup. ($8.89). ***Tip- If you Taking Out or Pick Up or Carry out. Make sure you have all your items before leaving the store. The ladies who prepared the food order did not put it the Chicken Noodle Soup. That sourdough bread bowl would have been naked and lonely without the hearty soup. Tables were not clean. Had to switch tables. Did not see anyone cleaning. Bring wipes.

    For a pastry ( bear claw croissant) to be in a bag with no individual label or packaging is wild; to squeeze it and put a pack of petite cookies ON TOP OF IT is even wilder. What's worst than squished food?? the flatbread to not have THE ADVERTISED RANCH OR CHIPOTLE SAUCE IN IT. So dry cheesy bread for the win I guess. IDK If this revenge for complaining about my last order but I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN Like no sauce. AT ALL. Hopefully my refund processes but they need to do better especially for its location

    Tomato soup
    Samah I.

    Ordered delivery thanks to the "spend fifteen get ten dollar off" promotion. Got a full grilled cheese and a tomato soup bowl. Can't say the grilled cheese lived up to its name because it was far from grilled. Barely cooked on the exterior and was still smushy like any ol' white bread. American cheese smacked between some white bread is not the worth 7-9ish bucks (but I guess that's Panera for you). The tomato soup is plenty and I plan on making my own grilled cheese and eating it together (I'm sure I can get a couple more sandwiches out of it). The service at the store is really great and that's about the only good part of the overall general experience.

    Side of chipotle sauce yummy

    I don't know how, and why this Panera only has 3 stars. I came in today to grab a quick bite , and upon arrival this place is HUGE. There was so much seating to dine in (even though my order was for pickup). There was lots of traffic but it moved very fast . The store is broken down, 1 side is ordering and the other rapid pickup. The restaurant was also very clean, I saw a nice man sweeping up before my exit . I honestly waited no longer than 10 minutes over my pickup time for my food, and given it was busy that was no problem for me . I was even offered 2 cookies for the wait which I declined but really appreciated the kind gesture. I ordered the chipotle chicken and avocado sandwich which was amazinggggg, with the chipotle sauce on the side . I also ordered a half of a tuna sandwich, which was also really good and large portioned both sandwiches were very fresh. Anytime I'm back on these sides of town I will definitely stop back in. Great customer , and fresh food you can't go wrong .

    The pastries of Panera Bread are decent and we visit there every one to two weeks when we don't have any idea what to eat for breakfast. We have subscribed to their unlimited coffee plan for months and this was our first time seeing that all the coffee wasn't served in hot & fresh. Hence, we were disappointed with their service at this location. The indoor dining is currently available and their safety procedures for COVID-19 is pretty good. The staff checked temperature for every customer and kept social distance between tables.

    Love this restaurant! Their app and kiosk come in handy especially when you don't feel like going to their cashier. I'm a big fan of their pick two option. I got their chicken Caesar salad with avocado since they ran out of croutons and chipotle chicken avocado melt sandwich with extra chicken. Also got a side order of their chicken noodle soup I enjoy as well. Always a good time when I eat from here. First time trying their juices..and I liked their Strawberry lemon Mint with Guarana & caffeine the most.

    After shopping for furniture for my new apartment I took my mom here to pickup dinner. She's never had Panera Bread so I wanted her first time to be memorable. We opted for our orders to be to-go. We were beyond exhausted and wanted to get home in a jiffy. We were greeted and treated so nicely by the young lady who worked the register. She took her time to explain the combos to my mom and what certain items contained. My mom ordered half steak & argula sandwich with a small lobster Mac & cheese. I ordered a full bacon turkey bravo sandwich. Once we got home we decided to dig in. My mom couldn't stop raving about her sandwich. She liked her Mac and cheese sans the lobster claw. It was extremely fishy and salty. We were both under the impression that the Mac and cheese would have sliced up lobster pieces mixed in, however we were sadly mistaken. She also stated that the Mac and cheese was a little too cheesy for which says a lot because she loves cheese. My bacon turkey bravo sandwich was on the bland side. I couldn't enjoy it because it was dry and lacked condiments. I tried jazzing it up but I ended up tossing it.

    This Panera is extremely fresh, clean kept, and provides excellent service. There is a giant fee parking lot which is very convenient especially being in queens. They have the kiosks to self order and it is very convenient. My favorite thing to have Panera is the broccoli Cheddar soup with caesar salad ( add avocado). This Panera is my absolute favorite Panera and I would highly recommend

    Yuk!
    Gregory A.

    Panera usually has pretty good coffee. This place does not. Extremely watered down, and virtually tasteless. If you want a better cup of coffee, go to a gas station. Service was good, and the place was clean, but what good is that when the coffee is only suitable for pouring down the drain.

    We went to Chimama's for a quick dinner tonight. We ordered the Khong Rou Fan, Niu Rou Mian, and…read morestring beans as an appetizer. I like their food because it's simple, tasty, and comes out quickly. The Khong Rou Fan is comforting and flavorful, and the Niu Rou Mian is always a good choice when you want something warm and satisfying. The string beans were a nice light appetizer to start. It's kind of a semi-service place -- you order at the counter and clean up after yourself when you're done, so there's no need to leave a tip if you dine in. The cashier who took our order is always nice, friendly, and polite, which makes the experience pleasant. The place is also always clean, which I appreciate. Overall it's a good spot when you want a quick, easy meal without a long wait.

The good- plenty of meat in Lou Rou Fan, the texture of stinky tofu, the no tipping but bus your own tray business model. Friendliness of staff behind the ordering counter. The so-so: not enough fragrance in stinky tofu, the slightly soggy/oily pork chop, and lack of fragrance in Taiwanese sausage. The somewhat expensive price( our lunch costing $56 total). Will probably revisit another time to see how other dishes taste and see what price point it will result in.

    3.5 Overall Decent…read moresized space for the area. They weren't too packed on a weekend afternoon. They seem to get more takeout/delivery orders than dine in. You order on iPad at the table, and the staff is available if you have any questions. When you confirm your order on the iPad, they will confirm with you. Service is friendly and helpful. The food came out quick! Their kitchen is in the basement and they have the dumb waiter sending up food, so very efficient use of space. The Dumplings in Chili Oil (can adjust spice level and cilantro) has added texture with crushed peanuts. We got the regular spicy, but could have gotten extra spicy. They were a decent appetizer but I'd go for something else. The Abalone and Chicken Rice Noodles had decent chicken flavor. There were a couple pieces of dark meat, which I enjoyed. Not sure if there was abalone in here, but if there was, it was nondescript. The rice noodles were well cooked. The Plum Juice had a lovely smokey flavor, along with a lemony flavor form the couple of lemon slices inside. It was not too sweet, though I personally could go for less sugar. Overall, a decent spot for rice noodles. They do have multiple locations, so go to the one near you! No need to go out of your way.

I've brought friends here because I've always enjoyed their dishes. There also aren't many noodle restaurants left in the neighborhood, so it's nice to have a spot like this. It's a great place to visit on a cold day. The restaurant itself is a decent size. It can get busy in the evenings, but for the most part, you can still find a table. The portions are quite generous, and the service is good. There's minimal interaction with the staff since you place your order through a tablet provided at the table. Be mindful if you have peanut allergies definitely let them know so they don't sprinkle peanut on certain dishes. Overall, this is a great place to get a warm noodle soups during Winter season.

    Maxi's Noodle is a Hong Kong-style noodle shop that focuses on wonton noodles, beef brisket dishes,…read morefish balls, and comforting soup-based meals. We walked into a casual, local space with a straightforward setup that works well for a simple meal rather than a long dining experience. The seating is limited, and the use of paperware even for dine-in orders gives the restaurant a practical, neighborhood feel, the kind of place where the focus stays on the food rather than the atmosphere. The biggest highlight is the wonton noodle soup. The shrimp wontons are larger than the typical Hong Kong-style wontons and are packed with shrimp flavor, giving the dish a more filling feel. The noodles have a good texture with a slight chew, and the broth provides a light but comforting base that ties everything together without overwhelming the other components. The beef options are also worth trying, especially the braised beef and brisket, which add a richer, more savory flavor to the noodles. Beyond noodles, the menu has a variety of classic Hong Kong-style sides and add-ons. The curry fish balls and fried fish skin are popular choices that add different textures to the meal, while the Hong Kong milk tea works well as a drink pairing, with a smooth, slightly bitter profile that cuts through the richness of the food. There are also vegetarian options available, giving the menu more flexibility for different preferences. Service is generally quick and efficient, and the portions are filling for the price. The restaurant can feel busy during peak hours due to the limited seating, but the turnover is fast enough that the wait does not feel excessive. The presentation is simple and functional, and the overall experience feels rooted in the kind of quick, satisfying meal that Hong Kong-style noodle shops are known for. Maxi's Noodle is a solid place for Hong Kong-style comfort food, especially if you are craving wonton noodles. The large shrimp wontons, chewy noodles, and affordable portions make it a worthwhile stop, offering a meal that feels both familiar and satisfying without any unnecessary fuss. It may not be the most polished dining experience, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a simple, comforting bowl of noodles done right.
