Walking into Panda Express is like stepping into a warm, delicious hug from your favorite foodie friend. The smell hits you first—sweet, tangy, garlicky goodness wafting through the air like an irresistible siren song. But let’s get to the real star of the show: the orange chicken. Oh yes, the glorious, crispy, sticky, sweet-and-spicy masterpiece that dances on your taste buds like it’s got its own rhythm. It’s my absolute favorite, and honestly, I’d fight someone for the last piece (in a friendly way, of course… maybe).
Every bite is a crunchy, saucy celebration of why fast casual Asian-inspired food deserves a permanent place in our hearts—and stomachs. Pair it with some fried rice or chow mein, and boom—you’ve got yourself a flavor-packed party tray on a plastic plate.
Sure, it’s not “authentic” Chinese food, but it’s authentically delicious, and sometimes that’s all you need. The staff is always speedy and friendly, the portions are generous, and you can even pretend you’re eating healthy by adding a scoop of super greens. (Balance, right?)
Panda Express, thank you for keeping my orange chicken cravings alive and well....

She proceeds to place them on my plate after I requested her not to. She holds up the plate and says WITH ATTITUDE "THESE ARE WELL DONE, SEE!" I tell her I longer want that entree and I proceed with another. In all other locations (whether it be Panda Express or not), they always hold a piece up and ask me if the piece is okay with me. I've never had anyone give me an attitude for wanting something a bit more well cooked. I heard her mumble something but it was unclear as to what she said.If Panda allows their "Supervisors" to have this attitude they no longer have my business. Check on your supervisors! Joss probably thinks she's all high and mighty but in reality, she should be cleaning that bathrooms with...
Read moreHaven’t been in a while thought I’ll give them a second chance one person in front of me four people working guy literally takes 15 to order, literally come my turn no white steamed rice, so I ask for half and half chow mein and fried rice. Then she says sides I’m like you have no choices to choose from you have two sides ? She’s like yup that’s it ! Literally never seen a panda do poorly run. A complete waste of my time when I say never again I can’t emphasize enough never again. So I left no food and a 20 minute wait while 3 people stood around one person making food. Lol what a joke this location is off palm in imperial beach, California. Buyer...
