Panda Express — Restaurant in Lakeville

Yesterday.. my life CHANGED. I walked into no, I floated into a cloud of sesame-scented dreams at the Panda Express in Lakeville with the fam, unsure of how the food would be. With this location? Historically it’s a hit or miss. But on THIS blessed day? The Universe aligned. And then… there she was. ✨MADDIE✨ Not just a worker. Not just an employee. No. She was a WARRIOR OF HOSPITALITY, a NOODLE SLINGING QUEEN, an ORANGE CHICKEN ANGEL sent directly from the panda express heavens above. As soon as I walked in, her energy SLAPPED ME in the face like a cloud full of good vibes. Her kindness radiated brighter than the neon glow of the Panda Express sign at dusk. She looked me in the eyes, her deep, soulful eyes and said, “How can I help you today?” And I swear, I almost cried 😭. She scooped my food with the care of a grandma preparing a secret family recipe. Every scoop was delivered like a sacred ritual with love, precision, and what can only be described as a sprinkling of soul magic. She bagged our meal like she was wrapping priceless artifacts from an ancient temple. I got in the car.. shaking with anticipation. The first bite? 🔥🔥 I SCREAMED. Like, actually screamed. It was so good, I almost launched out of the sunroof like a firework on the 4th of July. The orange chicken? Crispy. Juicy. Perfect. The chow mein? FLUFFY, NOODLE-Y GOLD. It was like a panda gave me a warm hug and whispered, “You’re home.” Maddie, you culinary goddess, THANK YOU. I hope you get a raise, a trophy, a statue outside the restaurant, SOMETHING. This wasn’t just a meal. This was a spiritual awakening. A tastebud revival. A 10/10 experience that healed something deep inside of me. Run, don’t walk. Go to Panda Express in Lakeville. Ask for Maddie. Tell her she’s famous. Your stomach, your soul will...

This place opened about a year ago in since they've opened the service is going to crap and you order something they never have everything you want so you wait but they serve what they have so it gets cold while you wait for the stuff that they're just cooking The last time we were there we didn't get any utensils in our food to go they slap together handed to you and outdoor you gone cuz everybody's pushing through as they finally got enough to put three or four people out and they serve their friends more food than they serve somebody they don't know I ordered something a plate and I said I don't want to double thing of the chicken they put one they put the two scoops on there The guy before me was talking to him cuz he knew them all or did the chicken and beefy got as much chicken as I did and he got the same amount of beef and he paid the same price I did took I don't really watch them so just so they know the food half of what I got was cold The only stuff I didn't really care if was cold was for my daughter and she was an hour before she ate it she they brought that hot mine was cold no soy sauce is with it no spoon no fortune cookie here's your food get out of here old man That's what...

When I got there yesterday at about 600 I didn't get my order until 607 at that point there was about 20 people behind me in line My food that I ordered I bought a meal and I said I'll pay extra for an extra load of vegetables as the one of the sides well they gave me the side as a meal and charged me extra for a meal which didn't really seem great but I found out instead of getting for the family meal by 3:00 to item meals it's cost less but the worst part of the whole thing is the 20 people that were behind me all got serviced before I did I was yelled at by the lady at behind the counter because I was tired of waiting and I put my elbows up on the counter she said I couldn't they screwed up my order I didn't get any fortune cookies I didn't get any soy sauce I didn't get any hot mustard The lady taken out at the counter was rude I had free stuff because I'm on their app I didn't get any of it because they refused to honor the app so if you go there watch your P's and q's you might want to go to Apple valley they've always been polite and kind this new restaurant in Lakeville really bites If they weren't so close to home I'd...
