Panda Express — Restaurant in San Antonio

Panda Express excels at speed and flavor, but not at health. This specific Panda Express has some pretty interesting hours, as one non-holiday I visited they were closed at approximately 4 PM and another day they were just about to close at closer to 3 PM. This could be a mistake on my part so you'll just want to see for yourself.

Putting together a plate under 500 calories can be a challenge if you dont want to double up on vegetables with the vegetable base, and something like broccoli and beef as the entree.

They are consistently behind on making the entrées so they never have more than two or three ready. Their portions are smaller than off campus locations. Also the entrées and rice taste different than other locations. I’m not sure if they use less or different ingredients for sauces but three different occasions the food was not edible due to bad taste or dry crusty noodles and rice.

Also I understand the workers are students but their lack of service and just being rude had deterred me from returning to this location ever again. I’ll spend more money at Freebirds next door but get what I...
