The food was good as usual! However if you get there before closing time, you will wait a bit for a fresh bash of rice! But totally recommended

They changed the staff here. Every time I come, I end up facing something different. Either the food I want is sold out, or they tell me to wait 10 minutes and don’t seem to care at all. Sometimes they give me the wrong bag, or I have to wait way too long. The service is really slow, and sometimes they don’t even give utensils. There’s one hardworking girl, she’s slim. Whenever I see her, I feel happy. I think, “Okay, everything will go smoothly here.”

Food is standard as other panda express restuarants. Employees serve with a fown and lack of customer courtesy. Not rude but lack luster. When asked about napkins they stated that they Do Not Carry napkins o_0 then suggested i try to ask another vendor for napkins. I find that very odd. Beijing beef is a bit dry as is the Fried rice.

There was not much food at 7:30 and employees were t interested in making much more. They did make more orange chicken though.

There was no line but it took a bit to get my food. My Walnut Shrimp is either burnt or has mysterious black substance lol. The couple infront of me got a box brimming with food unlike mine. We ordered the same but got different quantities. Not sure how I feel about this place. The cashier was atleast nice though..
