Panda Express is always there. They might not have the best taste Chinese food, but you can get decent experience here.

I don't normally leave reviews for chain restaurants, but just had to give this location a shoutout for customer service. My server was just so kind, enthusiastic, and helpful. He genuinely seemed like a great person. I believe the name on the receipt may have started with a W. I was happily surprised to see the eggplant tofu dish offered here, which is the only vegan dish Panda Express has (besides the beyond orange chicken which is available at limited periods). I wish this dish was offered at more locations. If it was, I would eat at Panda Express more.

I only get 1 item at Panda and that's their scrumptious, slightly charred and satisfyingly crunchy chow mein. For $6 large box, it's also unbeatable value. This location in south Lake does not disappoint. Also got their watermelon mango drink, it's bland and watery, but can't complain at $3. Nice upscale ambience for a Chinese fast food place.

I had super low expectations based on my experiences in the east coast but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know if all (west coast) panda locations are like this but the service was great, the food was fresh, and they have craft drinks! I got the plate which came with 2 entrees and a side. I went with chow mein, honey sesame chicken, and eggplant. What impressed me the most was that they were refilling the options constantly and if it was running low, they gave the option to wait for the new batch which was already on the way. I'm not much of a fast food Chinese American eater but this will definitely be a location to add to the books if I'm in the area shopping and starving.

Overall a good experience from this Panda! I stopped by for lunch after doing some shopping nearby and thankfully it wasn't busy at all. The parking lot in the back leads directly into the restaurant which is convenient bc finding parking on Lake is... not happening lol. Service was great I was greeted as soon as I walked. In. I ordered steamed rice with orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp. The orange Chicken was very good as per usual, but the the shrimp and rice were a little under and over cooked for my liking. I still enjoyed my meal though!

Officially my new favorite Panda Express location. Orange chicken PLUS special teas? Yes, please! Not to mention they have some of the nicest, most on point staff here. There is a parking lot in the back or street metered parking out front. Clean, well stocked, organized and efficient location well stocked with tons of options. I had the pineapple pomegranate lemonade and it was so delish. My orange chicken bowl was the usual hot, crispy and tasty I've come to expect from Panda.

Refreshing New clean Panda Express restaurant with Tea Bar. Simple clean organized restaurant inside. Stopped by for a quick bite as the day permits. Grabbed some quick comfort food rather than sandwiches and healthy joints nearby. Ordered the plate with 2 entrees, started with Half Fried rice, Half chow mein with popular Orange Chicken and Beef with Broccoli. Parking is available on the street or in the rear parking lot in the rear of Bldg. Good location and option to eat on Lake Avenue just south of Colorado Blvd.
