Food was delicious except for cashiers. One cashier said, " You want one sweet and spicy and chicken and pork fried rice?" then I said, " Yes ma'am." Then she said, " Okay, $22.45." By the way she was using her hand to act like she really wants the money.

I love my Panda Express. I genuinely do. I came here before the pandemic, and I HAVE RETURNED! Anyways. My son, Andre, is on his second day on the job. He's THE SOLE REASON why I'm writing this review. Second day and he treated me like I was 1,000,000 bucks. Love this man. Give him a raise. Oh yeah the food is still good too

I had a very long wait since several items were out and mid-preparation. I was waiting for almost half an hour. The staff noticed that I had been standing in line for a while, and asked for the cook to make the items that I was waiting for first, and gave me an appetizer on the house. Thank you, Mahi and team!

My friend Kiev has been to this place and got white rice, orange chicken, and mushroom. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere is that it is located in the mall in the food court.
