Panda Express — Restaurant in Layton

My husband and I shared the bigger plate with orange chicken, chow mein, and Beijing beef. We had to wait over fifteen minutes for the chow mein (there was a huge line waiting for it, and we honestly should’ve just switched our side to something else). But the staff was very polite about the wait and got everyone through pretty quickly once the chow mein was ready. The food was average for a Panda experience, which is to say, pretty good and definitely bad for me lol! I did NOT like the peppers in the Beijing beef, but I’m not a huge pepper girl and the beef itself was good. This Panda location is VERY clean and tidy. There are plenty of tables and chairs if you plan to eat in, which we did. Someone came around when we were about halfway done asking how the meal was and if there was anything else we needed. Pretty good service after the initial holdup for chow mein! If you want chopsticks, you have to ask at checkout—they keep them behind the counter. We went around 5 and there were probably ten people there, but when we left at 5:45 there was a huge line in the drive through—so long that we couldn’t pull our car out for ten minutes. I would suggest going on the earlier side because everyone seems to want Panda around 6pm. Also, go in if you want faster service—the drive through was moving super slow when we were there, but the lines...

I'm a sorry fan of Panda Express! When we arrived they were have a dinner rush through the drive through with cars clear o out to the start entrance... No shocker because they are so good, fast but always tastes fresh and delicious! My favorites main course is by far the Lemon Walnut Shrimp with the Lo Main. It makes a perfect meal leaving you craving it again for the next day or later on that night. There were so busy but never made me feel rushed! The service was amazing! Thank you all so much for the service with smiles, extra care and fast service with fresh tasting food to take on the run... Perfect for me. They do have a drive through services or you can go in and order and sample any of their entrees. They are all so good that it is hard to choose. I ALWAYS seem to have at least 1(usually 2) sides on the Lemon Honey Walnut Shrimp and then make different choices for me Side dish. A LOT be of food so I get to have left overs that don't lady to long. Thank you so much to the staff, chefs and super help. You all work so well together and especially when you are under a very busy today for evening dinners for a lot of families? Amazing and delicious... Everyone needs to go check it out ASAP! You will be glad you did. Thank you again for the great dinner and great service! See you...

The staff is never (and wasn't this time either) very friendly, at all. They always make you feel like they are extremely miserable being there and everything is a hassle to them. Just simply ordering, they NEVER smile, and they seem so annoyed with everything. It's ALWAYS like that (and I don't order anything "special" and don't have any"special requests". (Although that should make no difference even if I did). I used to live in Florida and grew to love Panda Express there because everybody was so awesome there in the atmosphere was so friendly and inviting and it is the complete opposite here (and the food is often old and cold and clearly has been sitting there way longer than it should). I was in there Sunday and got the honey walnut shrimp and it was so old, it literally was cold and the sauce was all thickened up and dried out and gloppy... I was extremely upset that I had to pay the extra $1.25 for extra old food. I was starving so I ate it and I was the only one who ate Panda Express in my family that night and I was extremely sick the following day with a stomach bug. Needless to say I will never be going back to Panda Express again and throwing my hard-earned money...
