Panda Express - Memphis

The food is fine (most of the time) but there is just ALWAYS something wrong with this location. I have never been to this Panda Express to find them not having some kind of issue. Some examples I 've run into on different visits: -out of orange chicken -out of all sides except the vegetables (no rice or noodles) -out of ice -not serving drinks -cash only -card only -out of utensils -drive-thru closed Today I pulled into the drive thru and was told I 'm gonna need you to come inside. I chose to go somewhere else. People use drive-thrus for a reason. I understand being short staffed, but close the inside if that 's the case and just run as drive-thru only; that 's what every other fast food place does when there aren 't enough workers. People who wanted to eat inside will be just as happy to go through the drive-thru, but no one wants to be forced to get out of the car. Maybe one day this location will get itself together and be able to serve all customers all of the things they want, but I have yet to see it in two years of coming here.

The food is good.the grill chicken and steak is very tender. I like the drive through but you can only place two separate orders.the honey shrimp is good but there is a upcharge on it.that I didn't like.

Arrived at 11:15 to beat the lunch crowd. Saw a car in the drive thru and thought MAYBE they reopened their drive thru. Nope.. Decided to go inside instead. The employees were still pulling chairs down, lights were off, and they were laughing at me because I was trying to get in and the door was locked at 11:15 !! Don’t you open at 10:30?? Decided to head to Zaxbys and service was quick and excellent. Store owners, this is sad.

Though only 6 of us in there at time. They got us in and out fast. Best buy for food if you close to a location. Had plenty served. Had left a Oriental restaurant wanting 20$ per person. Here, well 11$ will visit any Panada over restaurant. No tip required LOLFood: 4/5

My date and I were hungry after a movie, so we decided to give panda a try. They were closing in an hour so, we felt good about the food quality. When we got there, there was no fried rice and only maybe 5 total options available. But we are here now, I don't know the guys name. He's Mexican decent, but he was wonderful. He fried the white rice for us. So, we get orders in. And then it happens! The young guy that's was making our plates, with no gloves on or face mask. Filps a noddle that was hanging out of the to go box with his bare hands. My date which happens to be a doctor was livid. We paid and just left. Maybe more training, and manager over site. The food was a 5 out of 10 at best. Don't know if I'll ever eat there again. ?
