What diners say — our read

The inspection record is the stronger half of this page. When service comes up here it is usually a criticism, and the ratings attached average 1.9. After that, pacing appears most often — 24% of the corpus, averaging 3.0.

A third strand, freshness, appears in 16% of them at 3.3 stars. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 1, the most frequently given rating (12 reviews). Older reviews score better than newer ones (2.5 recent against 3.0 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (90/100) with 2 intermediate and 4 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on April 8, 2026. On health score it sits safer than 51% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

If the staff is what you care about, the reviews are the better guide here; if it is the kitchen, the grade is. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Very rude staff, orange chicken tasted like the oil hadn’t been changed in days or they just took straight from fryer and tossed in sauce before letting the oil drain off. My work partner and I eat at a panda at least once a week and this store is the worst we’ve ever been to. And it was at least 85 degrees in the store.

  • June 29, 2026

    Repeated my order 3 times. Still got it wrong.

  • June 24, 2026

    I contacted PE 2 years ago about problems I had encountered trying to order online. I just tried again and still failed. I have reloaded app. Tried accessing PE.com directly and wasted another hour trying to figure out what was wrong. I guess they get enough drive thru business they don't need mine.

    This was different than ALL other Pandas I have been too. They are stingy on their portions, I got 3 Bigger Plates and an Egg Roll. They only give a leveled scoop for each entree and a single piece of chicken. Most stores give the entree section heaping and full and enough Teriyaki chicken to fill the small container for the 3rd selection. The other very disappointing thing about the place is that they don't let you try any of the entree selections. They had a brisket option but without being able to taste it, I would not take the chance. I can say they will not have my business when we come back to visit. I don't expect superior food from a fast food place but I always get a bigger portion at the other stores I have been to. As a kicker, had to wait 10 minutes for their #1 seller Orange Chicken after being told it would be only 2 minutes.

    Went through the drive thru, the young lady was very nice. It was late, close to closing, the food was still fresh and service was quick. Great location.

  • June 11, 2026

    Completely wrong order in drive through.

  • June 9, 2026

    It's ok, a bit busy and they dont give you as big portions as the other Panda Express in the area. Bathroom code is 54321

  • June 8, 2026

    Had all the trays filled and lots of greens.

  • June 3, 2026

    Ordered food tonight at the international location horrible burnt taste to the food, never had a problem with this location until tonight.

  • May 23, 2026

    Fast food Chinese.

  • May 8, 2026

    This location opted to close over 1 hour early tonight rather then be open for customers getting out early from Rockville 2026. Suggest if you like predictably you do NOT even try to go here. They could always be closed 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • May 6, 2026

    I only have a 3 star on atmosphere bc the place is small compared to all of the people there scarfing that awesomly delicious 😋 food. Just not nearly enough seating 🥴

  • May 6, 2026

    The food is consistently good at this location and the staff is always helpful but the dining area always seems to need attention. You need a code to use the bathrooms at this location.

    Dear Manager, I am writing to report a very unpleasant experience I had at your restaurant. During my visit, I found hair in the meat I was served. This was extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Unfortunately, I only noticed this when I was almost finished eating, which made the situation even worse and caused me to feel sick to my stomach. I believe this is a serious sanitation issue that needs immediate attention. I kindly ask that you review your food handling and preparation processes to ensure this does not happen to other customers. I would also appreciate a response regarding this matter.

    Manger was pretty rude . Went elsewhere .

  • March 29, 2026

    Delicious Chinese food at Panda Express! They have a menu with a variety of exquisite dishes; I highly recommend it.

  • March 27, 2026

    Well worth the wait.

  • March 15, 2026

    Ideální na rychlý oběd.

  • March 10, 2026

    Reading the reviews I was totally turned off in trying the food there. The kitchen needs help.

  • March 9, 2026

    Absolutely! The worst attitude of any counter employee that I have had the displeasure of dealing with. Does not belong in a customer service position with your company.

  • March 9, 2026

    This place is very consistent. Consistent in making you wait for a very long time and being out of menu items that is. It's really not fair to the staff to be in such a very busy location and only have two people working.And then making customers wait in the line for drive tour for like fifteen minutes. Lowering my food rating after eating it. Small portions. Every other piece of beef I had to spit out because tough to chew. The 2 items I chose on the menu. We're up charges, so it's bait and switch kind of menu also

  • March 5, 2026

    Very good prices good hot fresh food

  • March 4, 2026

    I got food poisoning here yesterday afternoon.

  • February 25, 2026

    Enjoy my food here, especially the mushroom chicken.
