My husband and I have eaten at many wonderful, authentic Asian restaurants in New York City, San Francisco, Sydney, and Melbourne.
If you want true Asian cuisine, do not go to Panda Express. However, Panda Express is less expensive than many Asian restaurants.
Original Orange Chicken: Very bland. Sweet sauce that was unbalanced with any salty or sour contrasting flavors. Even hunting for any orange taste, my husband and I were unable to detect any orange flavor.
Recommendation: Try the "Orange Chicken Bowl" at the "Fry'n Wok" in Temple Terrace.
Spicy Orange Chicken: Bland like the Original Orange Chicken. However, there is a nice kick of heat to prevent this dish from being dull.
Beijing Beef: Stay away. The sauce was exceedingly, sickeningly sweet. For balance, this dish needs help from Lao Gan Mo Spicy Chile Sauce, Soy sauce, Vinegar (Rice or Chinese Black), gochujang sauce, Garam Marsala, Curry Powder, etc..
Super Greens: Boring steamed vegetables.

We live across the street from this Panda Express and it’s genuinely the best I’ve ever been to consistently. The food is almost always perfect which isn’t an experience I’ve had from other Pandas. Special shoutout to Douglas, he’s a dedicated worker with a charismatic attitude that rubs off on you anytime you see him, you’re the GOAT Douglas!

Reece was wonderful, and so we’re the two young people serving up entrees and sides. All were polite and friendly.
This was our first time at a Panda Express. Husband and I both chose fried rice, but he got the teriyaki chicken (did not like the sauce, but loved the chicken), and I got their signature orange chicken (the sweet and sour sauce was the best I’ve had in a packet & Husband agreed!). Husband got a small drink. I stuck with water. We helped ourselves at the beverage station, next to utensils and napkins. Both of us agreed that our chicken choices were excellent. The sweet and sour sauce on the fried rice was wonderful.
This place is easy to find. It’s right off of SR 54. Just east of the Veteran’s. It’s got lots of parking spaces, with lots of seating inside. There are a few places outside to eat. It’s bright and clean inside. We look forward to returning to this business.

Left a review on the website but wanted to make sure it's seen here too...Have to recognize the people who deserve it! We come here all the time & would never leave a review but the new guy Jon really changed my perspective on this place unlike most of the other team members we've came across he greeted us with such a nice smile & welcoming presence despite being super busy! He's such a down to earth guy we even got to chat a little & come to find out he's only been here A MONTH! Looking forward to coming back again because of him! Thank you Jon for being awesome! #GiveThatManARaise!!!😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The food is great however we’ve now been here twice when they’re supposed to be open and for some reason the dining room is locked?? I just wanted to sit down and have a bite to eat but the only option was take out.
