Panda Express — Restaurant in Seminole

This was the worst Panda Express that I've eaten at. The food was unforgettable. I ordered noodles, burbon chicken, egg roll and cream cheese Rangoon. Service was good. But the food was another story. I dined in, it was nice and clean but the garbage was to full to throw anything away. The first thing I threw away was the noodles. The noodles were so soooo dry!!! Was suppose to be Stir-fried wheat noodles with onions, celery and cabbage. There was nothing stir-fried about it. It had a couple of celery and onions and no cabbage. The burbon chicken! Was nothing burbon about it. They cut up a piece of grilled chicken and poured a few packets of burbon sauce over it. After complaining about the noodles, I was given what was suppose to be fried rice, (nothing fried about it). Everything was a total, total waste of my money. I had a party of 3 and we all threw out the noodles. There was nothing Asian about any of the food. Not even one Asian cook. They had Americans trying to cook Chinese....lol. And to top it off!!! As soon as I got home, I got sick and everything came up and out. This was one of the worst experiences in my life. Never will I go to that Panda Express in the Seminole City Center....

I've been here two times. The second time I ordered online in advance so that I could just pick it up and go, but they waited until I got there to put the order together. There was absolutely no advantage to the "express" line notion. Notion, because there is only one line. I still had to wait on the people "in front" of me, and the next people had to wait on me. The only difference is I went out the door instead of to a table.

The quality of the meats is probably higher than most other "Chinese" restaurants I've been to, but the Chicken Egg Roll and Spring Roll are probably both about the worst I've ever had. I've never been terribly into sweet and sour sauce, but this wasn't a great one, though I did like the teriyaki sauce.

All in all, while some of the food is better than most places, it's still way overpriced. What I spent on dinner last night would have been 3+ orders at almost any other Chinese place I've ever been, and the food definitely wasn't that much better. The plates are mostly rice or noodles with tiny spoonfuls of "entrees". My wife's shrimp entree was two pieces of shrimp! Plus, just throwing it out there, those take out...

Absolutely pathetic experience at Panda Express (around 6–6:30 PM)

Walked in last night and wow… what a joke. Almost all the food was gone or scraped to the bottom of the pans (see my pictures if you think I’m exaggerating). When I asked about the food I actually wanted, they told me it would be “10 minutes” to make more. Yeah, I’ve fallen for that before — waited, got gross, soggy slop. Not making that mistake again.

The girl working the counter? She had open, nasty sores all over her face. Absolutely disgusting. Why on earth is someone in that condition being allowed to serve food? Meanwhile, the cook and her coworkers were busy playing and chatting instead of actually doing their jobs and keeping food stocked. The whole counter was a mess, cluttered with boxes and junk. It looked more like a playground than a restaurant.

This place is embarrassing. Do better — or just close. Over these places hiring people who clearly don’t care and have no respect for the customers eating here!!! Next time I won’t be writing on pandas review or calling your corporate office! I will be calling Pinellas County health...
