I have seen Panda Express locations in mall and airport food courts but had never been to one until this new location opened literally right down the street. I was curious and besides I got coupons in the mail, so i had to go try it out and have now been there twice in two weeks. The opening week excitement has died down but there is still a steady stream of traffic in the restaurant and the drive through. The staff has been through its training and seems to work well together. On my first visit, a guy was steam cleaning the wok, then choppiing food, then getting supplies, then filling pans on the serving line all without wearing gloves or washing hands. That may have been fast but it wasn't efficient and it certainlky wasn't sanitary. That particular guy was not there on the second visit and things like that seem to have been corrected after the opening week frenzy. Panda Express has done for Chinese food what Chipotle did for the burrito- stream line the choices and put the process on an assembly line. There are standards like Kung Pao chicken, which tends to be presented either mushy or burned to a crisp on a buffet, but was just right here and with just the right kick of spice for flavor. Some premium entrees like the firecracker shrimp are labled as premium and have an additional charge. Both takeout and eat in portions are generous and I felt like I got my money and my appetitite's worth. There are additional items like spring rolls available for an additiona fee as well. I recommend takeout because the one drawback to this place is the tables are small and crowded and the line inside can back up into the eating space. Panda Express has paper napkins, straws, and (unwrapped) forks at a stand near the side door. There is a restroom, but I didn't check it.
