Panda Express 750 South Progress Avenue, Meridian, ID 83642

"One of the things I love about this place is their willingness to make anything on the spot for me. The food in the containers is usually fine but sometimes I just want it super fresh like watch it be cooked fresh. They are always very polite and professional with my requests."

"I don’t know what is more odd about this store today, the crew or the number of empty food options at 2pm. Service is normally good here but this crew definitely made us feel like we were inconveniencing them by waiting to place an order or even just asking for napkins and then watching the team member walk away without acknowledgment of when we’d get the napkins. Unfortunate service level today at a store that’s normally offering a higher standard. We were told our wait was 5 min for more orange chicken and longer for green bean chicken but it’s now been 12 min with no mention of when our orders will be ready. Unfortunate when we’re the only ones in the store."

"Manager Mary Jane is a treasure. I ordered on the app and drove over to dine-in for a late lunch. My order was ready, so I sat in the CLEAN dining room to enjoy my meal with a few other tables. It was mostly quiet and I could concentrate on my reading. My order was nicely packaged with everything I could need, including the receipt to check my order. I had the Beijing Beef bowl, which was perfect; Warm, but not too hot, delicious, balanced, not salty, not slopped in the bowl, perfect ratio of beef to veggies. I got on a bed of Super Greens, which were crisp-fresh-cooked, bright green and yummy. I also had the Chili Crisp Shrimp on White Rice. Just the right amount of heat & spice. Big fluffy rice and again the perfect portions as in the Beijing Beef. The rice had ample red peppers and onions. I can't believe that I ate both bowls completely, as I had planned on taking some home for later! Looking around, everyone seemed to be happy, there weren't any Karen sightings. All the employees were working hard, continually doing what needed to be done without any unnecessary chit-chat. I approached the manager to give her my compliments and even though there wasn't any customer currently in line, she was busy in the kitchen. She approached with a smile and we had a nice conversation. I must say that I have had previous mixed feeling about Panda Express, but if all the other locations are as super as this one, then I will be coming much, MUCH more often. Thank you to everyone working there!"

"Arrived at the location at 4:22 pm, on October 29 2022. ordered the standard plate: chow mein, double orange chicken. After innitially ignoring me for 3 minutes, the server started by greeting me with a toxic attitude and told me it would be a second before he would get to me. The server, Robert R, then had me repeat my order multiple times and questioned every item I ordered multiple times as well. Robert R made facial expressions as if what was being ordered was invalid. During the transaction, at the register he did not ask if I'd like an appetizer or a drink. I asked for a drink and he scoffed, telling me to cancel the payment and he would later add the drink. As I sat and ate the food, I listened as multiple (10-20) customers all received the same monotone voice and attitude. Absolutely disrespectful atmosphere, I was not a single smile from any employee, not welcomed into the restaurant, and not talked to with professional manners. Would not recommend this location, worth driving a few extra miles to get to the village area Panda Express."
