The Fortune Cookie 🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣 apparently
I work at Panda and if you want Chinese food just go to an actual Chinese restaurant
I worked at Panda years ago at a casino in Vegas. I remember once a nice Asian lady came up to the counter and showed me her chipped tooth from chewing on orange chicken! It was her top front tooth too! Omg I was in shock and felt bad for her! That orange chicken was extra hard. She was too nice, I would have sued for dental care. She just walked back to her seat.
Damn this is the whole menu. So what do we get from Panda ? Water ? 😂
Some restaurant chains now charging for a glass of water.
Basically don't eat at Panda Express. Surprised Beijing Beef went through this unscathed. 😂
I remember when Panda was affordable. In the mid 2000s you could get a one entree plate with drink for 5 dollars, now it's more than twice expensive. This place used to be the fast-food of Chinese cuisine, now it's becoming a sit-down restaurant with its pricy menu.
Everything is up about 150% to 200%, in terms of prices. It's not exact, but approximate based on a bag of hot cheetos that used to be 99 cents
As a former employee/manager of panda express and currently a head chef at an Irish restaurant, I also went to culinary school for more context of my background knowledge
Panda express is a fast food chain in the end of the day. The mushroom chicken and green bean chicken are the "healthy" dishes and the cornstarch that holds the sauce does wither away. I've also worked for PF Changs and this also happened to our dishes as well when we held them for long periods of time at the window.
Orange chicken. Anyone who has background in culinary knowledge knows that orange sauce, sweet and sour, general Tao sauce is pretty much 66% sugar and vinegar. This also applies to Changs chicken FYI.
All these things applied here about shitty employees not washing things or not following recipes is due to the store managers. This has nothing really to do with the company itself because they've set great guidelines and training for employees but it's up to the employee to follow the rules and guidelines.
I worked with them pre pandemic and the store I worked at last was in charge of training managers and I was sent to open new stores in the Midwest area. When you follow the guidelines and procedures, the crappy quality food doesn't exist. If you don't follow them then you get low quality food and service.
I has to hold the standards set by the company because we trained the managers in the area and wanted them to do the same.
Yep - in any business, standards are there for a reason, especially restaurants. Reminds me of when a fellow who's a decent cook decided to put his own spin on bleu cheese dressing. Dumped in buttermilk and blended it so there were no more chunks. It then failed to adhere properly to chicken wings and was all drippy like ranch. He insisted for a couple months so I just stopped getting my favorite wings in the area until he relented due to more people complaining.
I haven't been in a commercial kitchen since 2005 but I miss it every now and then. When I cook at my buddy's place in the country, all of our standards are consistent from one time to the next because we put in the work and wrote out SOPs. He's a plant manager so he gets the importance. Ribs, pulled pork, jagerschnitzel with kasespetzele, beef bourguignon, beef mudiga, short rib ragu, cheesesteak - our classics are set in stone. Plenty of space for experimentation on other dishes that aren't our idea of perfect! Shockingly, our closing procedure is set in stone too. Makes it easier after a fun weekend.
Low quality ingredients also make for low quality good...
I always get the orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp with chow mein haha
I believe this video. I've only eaten here three or four times, but every time it was terrible. No more.
I love the orange chicken the best with a side of shrimp fried rice and Pepsi .
I used to work at Panda Express. If y’all only knew what really went down behind the counter
So basically, just don’t eat there. Gotcha.
Lol, if you think avoiding Panda Express and eating at local Chinese food restaurants instead will get you food that is guaranteed handled and prepared with more care and or freshness you’d be incorrect. If anything the mom and pop places are more likely to serve you yesterday’s leftovers because their bottom line is a lot closer than Panda’s.
Your best bet with any restaurant is to go at peak times and order what is most popular because it’s constantly being made and cycled out. Popular + busy = fresh
Also, restaurants in the US are health inspected minimum of 2 times a year. More for stores with issues. Info is public and you learn all sorts of things by reviewing the reports lol and can see patterns in a stores violations. You may find you’re better off cooking at home. Ha
So damn near the whole menu, got it.
Free panda express as an employee doesn’t sound bad as long as you know how to balance it. Orange chicken ever can get boring. Btw I’m Asian rice one fried rice won’t get old to me.
I have never had a bad meal at Panda Express, I guess I'm just lucky, or maybe you searched the web for a few negative incidents so you could have something to post.
Panda is only good when it’s fresh and that’s about it
All dishes at panda have a 10 minute life span, the microwave is used for only a few seconds anything more than that it’s the fault of the store management, the teriyaki chicken is cooked in a press and does not need to be flipped multiple times this would be at an older store or an old comment, the rice does use brown rice toward the end of the night, the veggies are washed in a sink so they may have not washed the sink properly before washing the veggies in there again this is a management issue that needs to be brought up to that stores management and ACO Area Controller of Operations , the broccoli beef thing is accurate if you want more meat then get a meat heavy dish such as Beijing beef or teriyaki chicken,
I always gets the orange chicken and brown rice bowl. Yum!
Any worker who works at a fast food restaurant will get sick to the food real soon. I know from experience. BTW it is fast food do you expect homemade food?
I love broccoli beef... except yes, far too often the ratio of beef to broccoli to beef is wayyyy lopsided. I want BEEF too. Too often I've gotten a bowl of broccoli with a sliver or two tired beef... The best brccoli beef dish has the ratio about 50/50.
Walnut shrimp & Crispy beef are my favorites.
I've worked at Panda and not only did everyone eat there, but when I worked for my last day the boss let us take plates home at closing hour. lol
Panda has the best Orange Chicken in the world!
I love the mushroom chicken and the ragoons. 😂
At the three Panda Expresses I visit, they are constantly making spring rolls and cream cheese wantons as they are fast sellers. They all also have open kitchens and full windows into their walk-in fridge. Once to the halfway point, they all stir the chowmein. And they do a main scope and a balancing on both the beef with broccoli and mushroom chicken to make sure you get mushrooms or beef. They are relatively close together, so maybe they are run by the same franchisee who just runs them better. I have also seen the workers eat most of these dishes. None have drive thrus. The only thing I have personally seen was the Beyond did just sit there when they had it, because it wasn't prepared vegan/veggie for my area's vegans. It was also one of the dishes I never saw an employee eating, though I did see one manager try unsuccessfully to nudge an employee into taking it rather than the regular version. All restaurants have less than appetizing facts about the process, but as long as the health inspectors are sharp on their game and there exists good managers and training, it's all good.
If I were a Panda franchise owner, I think I would be spending some time in the store - staggering the days and times to get an idea of which shifts are on the ball and which ones are dropping the ball. This review is an excellent reason to check out Panda’s competitors.
Panda Express has no franchises and will never so long as both orginal owners are alive
-ex manager
Competitors? You mean the cheap Chinese business joints you find on every other corner? They have no widespread competition, other than family owned Chinese restaurants which are also extremely hit or miss.
So basically don't eat Panda Express? Are there any items left on the menu at this point? 🤣
Plastic in noodles got it 🤔 Avoid Panda Express 😭
Bring it on!
Panda food less meat..but more all broccoli unions and bell peppers..
Bahahhahhahahahahaha, this is awesome cause it's the entire menu bieng dragged
The worst part is getting their when they first open and the food looks like it was yesterdays long dead leftovers. Just take the hit panda and start a new batch in the morning.
It's against the law to do that, that's 100% illegal. Panda Express mandates food must be thrown out every 45 minutes and follow food SAFTEY LAW.
The latest you should go to panda is 8:30 because you'll be lucky to be served anything that wasn't made 40 minutes ago
In short: Don't eat Panda Express. There, saved you 11:44
K no panda express whatsoever got it thnks
I had to travel to Indonesia just to eat actual panda bear meat.
Wow 😮!
What a huge crock of shit.
@@traceywashington2818 Good grief. You are one of the most gullible bastards on the planet.
Really Bear meat I Hope you're joking
I hear free range panda tastes best
I smell mold in orange chicken ?
I avoid any chain altogether for several years, food is disgusting, unhealthy and overpriced. Only specific privately owned places on occasions only, eat at home thousands of online recipes. I value my health, my bank account and supporting my own community. Hope all the chains all close and greedy corporations are gone, and the only places left are locally owned diners and restaurants.
They make sure to give you the least amount of food
Don't care. One of my favourite take out places.
Chicken is delicious
So Panda employees seems to complain a lot
My son loves the orange chicken, I’m not a big fan, if anything I’m more of a fan of the employees than the food. I thought I’d try the teriyaki chicken(due to the picture) just threw it away, it tasted nasty and didn’t look anything like the picture. I don’t mind the ragoon but can only eat one or two tops.
Good ai voice
New store in our town have tried it three times and will not go there again, funny entree taste on the walnut shrimp, fried rice tasted like it was burnt, on one drive thru egg roll missing, on another visit egg roll so over cooked tasted week old and reheated. Panda Express not for me.
Yes. Basically nothing TO get 😂. Ugggh this video ruined Panda Express for me lol
So much assumptions and ghost accusers.
Sounds like it's an employee and staff problem if they producing crap stuff. The panda were I'm at are usually serving food fresh from the wok and it's not slime or under cook.
The chow mein used to be good but every time I get it now it does taste like dish water. It’s foul
Im not a fan of Panda Express we just got one in our area a couple of years ago overall I've been disappointed. I make my own chow mein, low mein and fried rice.
Sounds like we should avoid the chain completely. No problem.
"Bashed" strikes again. Wonder what entity paid for this hit job???
Then why are you watching it
Tell me how they're wrong.
Just avoid the store altogether.
Ahhh, the low effort nonsense I've come to expect. Tiny sample sizes and no actial research. Panda Express is trash food, but every time I see a Mashed article or video, I know I'm in for some truly substantiated claims and insightful takes.
Nothing like processed food
I tried Panda Express once. Thought the food was disgusting. I have never gone back.
HUM 😊 PEOPLE CANT COOK AT HOME.YA WHANT THEM COOK YA MEAL.OUTCH 😮
There could be an entire episode just on the amount of sodium one chicken sandwich combo has from chik FIL a 😣
I stopped eating at Panda Express when I found a broken piece of glass in my fried rice...
How in the hell would that even happen there isn’t even any glass at the store aside from windows and steam table glass and I imagine that the steam table didn’t shatter into your dish
real chinese food
ALL POINTS TAKEN! I ONLY GET THE KUNG PAO CHICKEN HALF WHITE RICE AND HALF NOODLES! I DON’T LIKE THEM SCRAPED FROM THE BOTTOM I ALWAYS ASK FOR FRESH BATCH…I’LL WAIT! AND…I WILL NEVER EAT A HOT DOG AGAIN…”A STEP ABOVE DOG FOOD”…YUCK!
We'll never go again. Went last night and there were "fibers" all through the entrees we had. They said it was Vegetable fibers from cutting vegetables THE NIGHT BEFORE!! When we went back to return the food for a refund a guy from the kitchen kept walking out and putting his hand on the top of the trash can then going back into the kitchen. Really unsanitary conditions at the one here in Bartlesville Oklahoma. Never again.
THEEE WORST place to work. Bullies’ paradise.
Panda’s broccoli beef - nastiest shhhh.. EVER 👎🏻🤢🤮
Disgusted. I am not going here again
Would have been better to make a positive video about the best items to get at Panda Express. It isn’t entertaining to me to see a video about foods to avoid or see the good foods viewed negatively.
I don’t like Panda Express because it’s not that good to me.
Panda Express food is nasty!
What's the logic of this video 🤦
So what the he**can you eat there??
Here is a cheat sheet don't eat any fast food!!!
Silly hit job. Why not just title this “don’t eat at Pandas!?”
This voice over sounds annoyed lol
There food sucks
Dumb video, considering how large panda is and how long they have been around, yes, you are going to have consistency issues, which seems to be the only real complaint in the video.
