Panda Express — Restaurant in Ankeny

Oh my, oh my. I believe it was Sunday the 9th. Around one. Me and my family came into eat. My wife was the first to order she wanted the fire roasted chicken I think it's called. It had the label above saying it was. They informed her that it was kung pow. No big deal. Im next I get the plate. I'd rather have the fire roasted but I take what was there as a substitute and not labeled correctly. Then I get the honey sesame chicken or I thought. It was labeled honey sesame chicken. Did I mention I'm allergic to shell fish, well if I didn't I am. Like EpiPen allergic. Well it was some kind of breaded shrimp. But I looked kind of like the breaded chicken you'd get with sweat and sore. Well anyways I figured out what it was didn't panic. Finish my meal and headed home with the shell fish lump in my throat. Puked on the way home. Was surprised how it tasted on the way back up. Got home took some Benadryl and opted out of the pen. It worked but it put me to sleep and I wasted the rest of my Sunday on the couch with the regret of eating at your establishment. Get it together P .Express. it could have been...

Listen, I know working in the fast food industry sucks. I work in the service industry too and can at least put on a fake smile, fake cheerful attitude, and get through my shift. I know it’s 30 minutes till you close and I’m sorry I didn’t know my order immediately. I should have taken the hint you didn’t want people there since the menu board in the the drive through was turned off even though it was night. I dislike people too, but the tone of voice and the “I could care less” attitude isn’t needed. If you hate your job here, apply somewhere else! Literally everywhere is hiring. Girl, I’m sorry I came through at 8:30. You’re almost to the end of your shift. You can get through it. I believe in you. 3 stars because I like the food here, but I’ll be nervous about coming to this location again. I don’t want to upset anyone working here by giving them my business. Not like the corporation would...

Orange chicken is dry and practically flavorless. The sauce recipe needs some attention. It was thin, bland, and barely present. As an avid orange chicken connoisseur with 12k+ reward points, I’ve had this dish from dozens of locations across the US, and unfortunately, this might take the top spot as the worst.

Typically, a good orange chicken sauce is bold and vibrant, bursting with the sharp tang of white vinegar, a bright citrus aroma, and just the right balance of sweetness and heat. Here, it tasted like someone diluted orange juice concentrate with warm tap water and called it a day. There was no zing, no depth, no complexity-just a faint hint of orange clinging to small chicken chunks that are 80% breading. It was an all-around letdown that completely missed the mark.
