Panda Express

Usually quick but questionable Americanized Chinese-ish food, but 6pm Friday not good. Disorganized crew and process. After waiting in line for a several people to order for their whole families (and taking all the food I was interested in), they messed up my simple order. One item was even missing. Of course they have 6 ladies handling your order, so the gal at register does not understand - English or what the issue is. Definitely not a good experience this visit.

We decided we wanted to get food from here because we live Panda Express, so we pulled up and found there were too many people inside than we felt comfortable with, so we decided to do an online order and wait outside until it was ready. We got a time that it was expected to be ready, but that time came came and went without any notification that it was ready. The minutes just kept ticking by as the expected time of readiness just kept rolling over into the next minute. We finally had to call and ask if our order was ready and we were told that it was. So, I went inside to collect the order, and still had to wait while surrounded by at least 6 other individuals/couples also waiting. Because the pick up counter is on the opposite end of the entryway, I had to walk through a sea of people to get to that counter and again once I left. Pandemic measures were totally inefficient and ineffective. I know that not everyone has taken this pandemic seriously, but I do since I'm considered high risk. I've sheltered in place for over a year and now that I'm gradually making my way back into the world, it would be nice if I felt safe in doing so. In this case, I did not feel safe. I love Panda Express food, so my complaint is not with the food. And under normal circumstances having to go inside to pick up my order would not be a big deal. These things are considered when writing this review. But, having to wait almost 15 minutes past the estimated time of our order being ready, having to eventually call, and finally having to navigate past and through people, and still have to wait was more than I feel is reasonable. If this was a 10 point scale, the number would be a 7. I have no way of giving 3.5 stars.

Went here earlier since I was craving for orange chicken. I got the plate, which consists of two entrees. They have the angus beef which cost extra, but it looks good so I decided to try it. For the carbs I did half fried rice and half fried noodle. Overall the food was fresh and generous portion as well. I ordered the drink, and since there's no self serve, they had to get the diet coke for me. Not a big deal. The cashier was friendly and everything went smoothly. Will definitely be back.
