If you had Panda Express before, then you know the taste already! They are very accommodating at this location. I have become a regular there since the day they made my food fresh (per my request). If you don't see an item placed out that they carry, ask for them to make it and they will and it will be nice and fresh and extremely hot! The staff is also nice; never had any issues with them. They are very welcoming too... I would recommend here, especially after a day of shopping. |

I came in around Christmas shopping time with my mom and our friend. The staff were ok, nothing outstanding, but the food was cold and chewy and small portion sizes. A couple walked in with a little lap dog and the employees just let it roam around the store! Yes, the pup wasn't rolling around in the lo mein, but still, that can't be abiding food/health codes. |

If you have eaten at one Panda Express, you have basically eaten at them all. Mall-type, fast Chinese food . I personally love the orange chicken. If you know what Panda Express is, you know what to expect and you generally won't be disappointed. |

My biggest complaint was that I went there at lunch time, and a lot of the containers that should have food were empty, thus giving you a very limited choice of items. The food was not particularly flavorful. I wouldn't bother returning. Bamboo Creek by Publix in the Town Center has great lunches for about $6, good atmosphere and tasty food. Much much better. |

This is the worst Chinese food I ever had and expensive for what that give you. Also, the food was very cold. Will not eat here again. |

I would give Panda two stars if they did not include "Gourmet" in their name. This is basically a fast food buffet (the "Express" part is accurate) with a limited number of items displayed in steamer trays. You make your choices, they dish it out, there is limited seating. Food is OK but does not compete with China King. My wife remembered Panda from another city and liked it, but sorry to say this restaurant bears little resemblance. |

The food was good. I had the firecracker chicken, beef and broccoli and mixed veggies. My wife had fried shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and noodles. we noticed they had to fry fresh shrimp and added another order. The shrimp were tasty. We did not know the chili sauce was like eating fire... so if you like spicy order the fire cracker chicken and ask for lots of chili sauce. Panda Express could get addictive for us. Eat well and save $$$. |

The meats were great but the side dishes were dry. I would go again and only get the entree. The staff offered us as many samples as we liked since we had never been there before. |

I knew going into Panda Express that it is not a traditional Chinese Restaurant, but is more of a fast food/mall food court restaurant. My expectations were not high, as my experience with them in Arizona was not good either. When I walked up to the first counter, I ordered the two-meal entree with a side (side being noodles or rice, etc.). The chow mein noodles were separated near the back; the back half looking mighty crispy and brown, and the front half looking how they should. I asked if they were different, and the lady said no, but that she would give me the portion in front. Typically in a restaurant, the first thing you want to do is remove anything that is unappealing to the customer to keep them happy. The noodles in the back section did not even look edible. Then she asked what I wanted for my two entrees and I said I had not been here before and would need to look at the choices. At the time, the entire counter where the dinners are stored was occupied by people in line, so I could not get around to look. She continued to stare at me, then asked me again. I repeated I did not know their menu, but asked for two typical "mall" foods I know I liked - Bourbon chicken and Sesame chicken, neither of which she had. When she asked a third time, I said "let me look" and I stepped around BEHIND all the people in line, standing on my tip-toes trying to see the choices. I felt rushed and unappreciated as a customer, just to get home to eat it and be incredibly unimpressed. |

If you have not been here - you have to try it! This is the first place I ate at when I visited Palm Coast before I moved here from VA. It is set up like a Chipotle andI Love it. The Beijing Beef is unbelievable. I ALWAYS get the Chow Mien, Beijing Meef and Kung Pao Chicken, so my review is based on that. Plus The service is always great. I am addicted to this place now. It is worth the money and very affordable. TIP: TO-GO YOU GET MORE! I will not eat at another Chinese restaurant... if you tried it and did not like it, sorry, you should give it another shot. |

Arrived around 2 PM and the selection in the hot trays was very poor. They only had 2 or 3 of the entrees and what was there looked very dry and old. The sides like crab Rangoon and egg rolls also did not look fresh. Service was very friendly but the choices were too limited and the orange chicken I did have was very sweet with little flavor. I'll pass and visit a real Chinese restaurant in the future. |

If you like Chinese buffets and/or mall food court Chinese food then you'll probably like this place. It is very much like a fast food place. We were not impressed. Food had been sitting there a while and the people working there were not very helpful. The line was a mess and there was a lot of confusion. Everything we got tasted the same. We will not be back. |

Not sure if this is gourmet Chinese cuisine, but it is quite tasty and very good value for money. For a mall food court style restaurant, it offers a good alternative to burger places or fried chicken. |

My wife and I got takeout from them the day they opened. I will say that the staff was very nice, but the food. Oh my goodness, the food was bland. The little flavor it did have wasn't very enticing. I got the Mandarin Pork, Beef & Broccoli, Chow Mein and a Chicken Egg Roll. The Beef had some very odd flavoring on it, didn't taste like any Beef & Broccoli that I've had in the past. I also got the Chow Mein and that was also lacking in flavor. The Chicken Egg Roll was all mush. It felt like it was made for someone without dentures. The Mandarin Pork wasn't bad...in small doses.
My wife got the BBQ Pork and the Orange Chicken with the Fried Rice. The BBQ chicken was overcooked and her rice was bland. She did say that the Orange Chicken was alright, but not any reason why we would want to go back.
Also, their soy sauce, talk about watered down. Luckily we had soy sauce in our fridge, but that still didn't make it much better.
Overall, nice employees, very disappointing food. |

The food tasted great. I was very happy with my choices. My husband however had only a very small amount of the entree on his plate. It didn't compare with the amount on mine. He was very disappointed. |

I thought the food here was very good. Being new everything is nice and clean and the staff gave out samples and smiles. Menu selection is limited and I found the sweet and sour sauce to be too sweet. Overall this can't be beat for value. |

Noticed Panda Express was open so stopped in for lunch after shopping. As soon as you benter you get a bunch of welcome calls from the staff. You can try samples of the entrees and I ended up ordering Beijing Beef and Orange Chicken with rice. All of which were delicious and very fresh. Prices can't beat either. You can get two entrees and a side for $5.75 or three entrees and a side for $7.00. Not sure if this is very authentic Chinese food or not, but it's very tasty, fresh and cheap. |
