We come to this location about once a week and the food is always good but the service is terrible. They are always out of everything and so we have to wait 10 to 15 minutes for one or more of the plates while the other plates sit there and get cold. The girl behind the counter would not respond when I said the rest of the food was going to get cold, she just laughed and spoke to her teammates in Spanish.
The service was extremely quick and the woman who helped me was helpful and sweet. I ordered an orange chicken bowl and couldn't help but notice their panda bowls have shrunk over the years! I remember being able to get full AND have leftovers from one of their bowls but I was able to finish the whole thing in one sitting. Panda is just one of many restaurants that have downsized... but the food is still good.
I normally don't come to this panda Express but I will now. When I came in it was 7:00pm and most of the food was gone, Christian the cashier at the time made sure I was taken care of while the food was cooking and was givimg me timed updates on the food. At the end he wished me a good night and to enjoy the food, it's hard to get customer service like that now a days!
The store was clean, didn’t have any customers at the time, but the person who shined was a young lady named Justice who provided too notch customer service! She was informative, ordered fresh food from the cooks to fill my order and was pleasant and hoped to see me again. She’s a gem and I hope the manager there recognizes the great service she gave me yesterday during my first visit to this location.
Great dining experience. Friendly staff. Delicious food
Kudos to the Panda Express at this location! I had ordered a bowl (1 entree & 1 side). When I was given my receipt, I noticed that I was charged for a plate (1 side & 2 entrees). I brought it to their attention and they quickly corrected their mistake and gave me a side of my choice.
Great location / spot. Great service - very nice, friendly staff. Food is always on point.

I usually visit Panda Express on E Thunderbird Rd and 40th st. This visit I experienced employees testing the food with a thermometer and cleaning it with the same wipe then inserting it into the next dish of food and testing that one using the same thermometer. Besides the chemical of the wipe, they inserted into the food I eat, Another customer left instead of ordering because she is allergic to shrimp and observed them inserting the same thermometer they used to test the chicken, into the shrimp. I told the manager to be helpful, but she just said that's how it's done so I left. We did go to the Panda Express on Tatum and the manager there said they were cautious not to do that. As a Google Local Guide, I hope this information is helpful.
It's got good food, the same as any Panda Express. But the reason I put four stars is because someone "blew up" the restroom, as they say. It smelled pretty bad in there. But the food was great, even reheated, as I didn't finish it all.
My kids love this location. It's usually pretty easy to get what you want quickly, and the staff has been very friendly and helpful to me. They'll quickly whip up some fresh food for you if they are running low or you want something extra. It's not exactly gourmet so I'm not granting it 5 stars, but for a fast family fix we stop by, knowing they will accommodate us.
