Panda Express — Restaurant in Garden Grove

It’s a Panda Express location… Nothing better, nothing worse. Just Panda and all of the standard Panda Express food you know and with either love, or hate. They are most definitely NOT true classic and authentic Chinese food. It is VERY Americanized and bland on flavor and bite. But, that what they are known for. It’s Chinese style American made fast food with basic decor and flavors. They recently had some price hikes and are slowly working their way to a price point where real authentic will be the go-to over them hands down. The Orange Chicken is 75% breading and doesn’t really have an authentic mandarin orange kick and bite orange chicken lovers, love….. The Fried rice has no real flavor and the chow mien seems to be a bit too oily for a good taste palette. The Kung Pao is not bad, but the chicken is fatty. This goes for the chicken in general, including the teriyaki chicken. They used to serve the teriyaki sauce hot, not you get in a packet at room temp. Big loss in the points section on this review. The sad thing is, the sauce had the most flavor out of everything else… So you be the judge. But spending $25 on a couple of plates of basic fast food American Chinese is a real, HARD PASS, net time we are thinking Chinese for lunch in the area. From picture, you can see, this place is NOT crowded and low in customers who feel the change like I do…. * PIC taken at 12:30 on a Friday lunch rush on a busy road in the middle of a shopping...

This place is good for fast Chinese food. The quality is good and they keep the place clean. Food tasted good overall and they give out a pretty good proportions of food. They don't pack the box but they do fill it up. Service was great. Everyone was nice and courteous. My only issue I realized when I was here is that the customer in front of me sneezed while standing couple feet from the food. She was wearing a facemask but doesn't mean droplets can't ever land on the food since it's basically set up like a buffet line. Realization is that the food just sits there until a customer picks the wanted item. So, the food can sit there for awhile with a higher chance of having droplets fall on it when it settles down if a customer or employee sneezes. Droplets won't travel as far while wearing a face mask but will not contain all droplets completely from a powerfully loud sneeze. The sneeze guard is not sealed on bottom and in a 15 degree angle so doesn't cover the food from droplets or dust falling on top. Compared to a place where the food is prepared by order and packed inside a container as soon as it's done. Therefore, if you must have fast Chinese food now then I would recommend this place but I would not go to any fast Chinese food places until the pandemic dies down and just order take-out from a...
