Very poor quality chicken. I’m not sure what happened. I used to come to this place quite a bit years ago. Lived out of state for a while and ate at other Panda Express locations without issue. Came back here and the food was just awful. They must have changed chicken suppliers other the years. It was disgusting.

American Chinese cuisine at its finest. Sure its not authentic, but it sure is tasty. This is one of the better Panda locations. The seating is spacious and the line moves fast. Its also one of the few that has a drive thru so you cant beat that. It can get quite busy during lunch and dinner times which is to be expected.

My husband likes this place, however, the person that helped us gave so little of everything especially the main entrees. So disappointing of this place. They have poor management.

Ordered meal online for specific time. They didnt even start until I came and ask. Workers beheve like its absolutely normal. Be careful: you need to make sure you have 10-15 min more

Have ordered online for pickup twice. First time they gave me a completely different order. Second time all food were over cooked and rubber band was left on a piece of broccoli and melted down on the food.

My visit here the other day was great I was able to get everything I wanted from the menu and it was nice and hot and delicious. Also it was nice the lady refilled my drink for me unfortunately she forgot I asked for no ice and when the cup is filled to the top its half a drink and the soda is gona so I appreciate her refilling it for me.Overall great visit cant wait to come back and try a few of the other great items on the menu Thank you!!

Fast food chain serving American Chinese cuisine. Drive through does miss some request at times so make sure to check your order before you leave. Staff is friendly and helpful so cant get mad at a few little quibbles.

The super greens here are consistently great, cooked just right, still crunchy. The people are super friendly and enthusiastic. The place is always clean. One of my favorite Pandas.

Review №16

2022-11-05 00:48:24

Terrible food, complete waste of money. The sesame chicken had no sauce, the fried rice had no flavor and was mushy, the honey shrimp didnt taste like any I have ever had before. Will be er eat at Panda Express again.

Review №17

2020-08-10 14:58:06

Unfortunately I had to go through the drive-through. My secret trick is either go when theyre very busy and the food is consistently updated. Or sit in the dining Room and wait until they put out something fresh and new. And simply order that. Theres a big difference between fresh and food thats been sitting in the warmer for 15 minutes.

Review №18

2019-11-16 18:30:29

The food was good, the service not so much. I understand when they are busy, that they can run out of something, however its poor management. They should be monitoring how much they have and begin cooking more when they get a little low, before they run out. That said, if they run out of something and you make a customer wait 10-15 minutes for their order.... good management would be to offer that person a small drink or an egg roll or something to tide them over until their food is ready. You certainly dont add insult to injury by filling orders of others who havent been waiting first. Im sure drive thru is usually the priority, but you dont fill the orders in front of someone who has been waiting while telling that person more will be ready soon.

They were ringing it up as plates instead of the cub meals. Secondly, I asked for sprite as their drinks and they were NOT good. Im sure when they fill it up they can tell if its running out, Ive been a manager and knew whenever sodas were out & changed immediately. Now, my kids are out of drinks for their meal. Waste of time there, last time being there everytime something is wrong with that place .

I visit this location a lot because it’s on my way to work and it’s convenient because it has a drive thru. I’ve never had a problem until today.First off, the manager is terrible! She does not care what your issue is, she won’t take care of you. I spent over $40 and I’m missing straws, teriyaki sauce packets, and 2 cookies that are supposed to come with the kids meal. The manager wanted to argue with me and tell me that they did everything right and all she would do is replace the sauce packets (which means I have to go out of my way and drive 17 minutes after already being there.)I will never be back to this location!!!

Review №21

2022-08-10 04:14:44

Bland and they skimp really hard at this location. Brocolli beef? Yeah your getting just broccoli. Chow mein? Expect mostly cabbage. Kung pow chicken? Its a scoop of peanuts. Dont recommend you go to this location

Review №22

2019-01-29 13:27:52

Our go to fast food (occasionally). I do Ike the new greens they have. Service is fairly quick even with a line. But I admit my selections are limited. I only get the greens, eggplant and plain chicken. So I cant say much about the other dishes.

Review №23

2017-06-19 23:32:00

Compared to other Pandas the flavor is decent here. Portions can be smaller than usual and the drive thru is one of the slowest especially when Im only getting one plate. If people are getting a family meal they need to go inside!!!

Review №24

2019-05-18 04:28:34

I have been to multiple locations. Just left this one 40 minutes ago. Went through the drive through. They got the order wrong and I asked for 4 fortune cookies( 3 kids in the car) and the lady at the window comments that I only ordered 1 plate. I said yes and she proceeded to hand me my bag....I should have looked in. I got home and there were only 2 cookies. Its only fortune cookies Panda Express.....stop being so cheap!!

Review №25

2017-11-13 19:08:07

Picked my order up from the drive through, once I got home and opened the bag (that was tied), there was 2 ear wig bugs on top of my container. The container is obviously not air tight, so I had no idea if they had been in my food or not. Ruined my appetite and I did not eat the food.

Review №26

2022-11-09 22:56:01

Waited an exceptionally long time for an entree to cook. Ordered 2 family meals, but when I walked in there was no peppered steak.

Review №27

No food quality/teriyaki chicken burnt blackNo respect towards customer specially ladies here in store they laugh and made fun out of it

Review №28

2018-11-03 20:36:17

This panda express is absolutely horrible. Tables and floors very dirty soda machine dirty. Nothing stocked had to ask for forks lids and straws. Also the food tasted different than any other panda ive been to before like they didnt know how to prepare it properly. I will never come back to this location and would have given it 0 stars if it would let me.

2016-10-10 20:18:44

Paid $12.63 for my lunch to have it over cooked and yet still cold from sitting. I asked to have fresh Rangoons due to the ones sittings there being burnt, I received nothing but attitude from the manager. I said if Im bothering you and making things hard never mind Ill go without the manager just agreed and didnt make any new ones ....oh and at the same time I had her and the cook she was flirting with the hole time I was in line, look at me with a pissed off looks on there face. I will never come back to this place!! It is horrible!!

Closes sometimes prior to their advertised closing time, oftentimes out of a particular dish prior to starting more. Messed up my order a handful of times out of the last 10 orders. When its ready and fresh, food is good and cheap enough to justify the problems.

Review №31

2023-03-24 04:09:15

Pretty sad how they wont cook new stuff 30 minutes before they close. Paying customer very disappointed.

Shout-out to the team at the Panda Express in Lincoln. The drive up order was ready within minutes, food was very fresh and the flavors were amazing! Thank you Panda Express for being open on a 110° day!!

2021-08-19 01:12:48

Waited ten minutes in drive thru parking....got order, it was completely wrong, went back through drive thru, asked for what was missing, got extra small carton with 3 pieces of the wrong beef. Very bad experience today.

Review №34

2022-05-14 04:44:29

Disgusting! The food smelled a little weird, but then as soon as I took a bite of chow mein it tasted like cigarette smoke. I almost threw up, clearly someone was smoking near the food. 🤮🤮🤮

Review №35

2019-04-24 03:30:27

I noticed the food here is kind of a lot better than what it used to be. The Cooks have gotten better at preparing their food and its a lot more fresh I noticed every time we go in. Just stop raising your prices!

Review №38

2020-12-21 22:31:42

This is the worst location Ive been to. Food is cold, even when requested they dont give you the chili or hot mustard sauce. This about the 3rd time Ive been there in 2 months. Im not sure what happened because it used to be very good.

Review №39

2018-10-27 17:30:17

Great pseudo Chinese fast food, served hot and fresh at prices I can afford. Usually very clean. We eat there 3 - 4 times a month.

Review №40

2019-06-05 03:44:25

Very disappointed with the amount of side meat they put on the plate. Ordered a bowl, my bowl was FULL all the way to the top with rice. On top of that maybe close to half of the serving spoon. Will not even put a full serving your spoon on the plate. Spend your money elsewhere where you are going to get what you are paying for.

Review №41

2021-06-18 04:44:09

They close at leat 30mins every single day. Because they are lazy and they want to leave when its closing time. And they r slow. They r very light on the portions. What they give u on the bigger plate is what most places give u on their normal plates

Review №42

2015-11-19 03:30:45

Its a standalone Panda. Service is way better than at a mall but food can sometimes be a bit old depending very much on when you eat there. At peak, this is not typically an issue.

Review №43

Review №44

2019-10-05 20:28:27

I went in there waited 10 minutes for fresh chow mein. After asking a previous individual for Less vegetables and more chow mein?! The individual that finally came up to me wanted to charge me double for chow mein because Im asking for Less vegetable? Clearly I walked out. I will get her name momentarily for the record

Review №45

2021-06-19 21:50:03

Not anything like the panda of old days, the food was poor quality, and did not look good. Take out order, was just thrown in the container in a hurryNothing was of good quality. Will not return

Review №46

2016-08-18 00:46:09

Always busy but worth the wait for a hot fresh lunch. The combo two items is a great deal. Try going with half rice and half chow mein, no up charge.

Review №47

2018-12-17 02:09:58

They always take forever. Even when they are not busy. You will sit in yhe drive thru for ateast 25 minutes. Going inside it will take longer. Because it happens so frequently after this visit I will not be visiting them again or any of their other locations.

Review №48

2020-10-12 21:40:24

I like this one because it has a drive-thru. Not much else to say. The food is the same as any other Panda Express but the fact that this one has a drive thru means I prefer it.

Review №49

2019-07-26 05:16:23

Staff is lazy and will do what they can to avoid working within an hour from closing time. So if you want something within that timeframe, it’s best to keep driving.

2018-04-09 04:09:34

Worst service ever I waited 25 minutes for teriyaki chicken they put 40 plus pieces in the window and then said I had to wait further a young Spanish girl with a red bow in her hair was the rudest person Ive ever been served by I will never come back if I can help it I left with just my husband food and I got nothing because she still said I had to wait because they swerve the drive through firstThe restaurant was filthy and the bathroom toilet had smeared poope on it, bad badIve been coming here for a few years its gradually got this bad but I never complained but the staff tonight just didnt care and where rude to more people than just I. Im a regular person who eats out every day due to my career and never had a problem anywhere like this place ever !!
