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.
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.
I gave up all processed and fast food, sugary drinks and bakery sweets over six months ago. I have lost 15 pounds. I now eat the same fresh chicken, ground beef and salmon that I cook for my cats. Happy Sardine Sunday! LOL
@@daisyle1203McD’s charges 7 cents in L.A. for a bag to put your drink in. I like the bag so I can toss the empty cup in it when I exit the car. The are nickling and diming people to death at Must Miss McD’s!!!!
I learned to make my own version of Chinese food. I bought a wok, sesame oil and get the soft Japanese yakisoba noodles at Vons because they are bigger and tastier and they come with a dry packet of sauce mix i can put in the wok with a little oil & water and slightly boil the noodles in it. Then stir frying them when the water boils off. I have a rice cooker for rice. I steam & cut up carrots & onions. Fry some egg in a pan. Stir fry the steamed rice with a drizzle of Kikoman soy sauce for 2 or 3 minutes turning it over and stirring it up, just toasting it and then mix it with the vegetables & egg. As for the meat dish. I buy a sauce that goes with it and just cook the meat in the oven while I wok the noodles. Or I microwave a frozen beef with broccoli or orange chicken or other.
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
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.
It's still a way better deal than other fast food though. Every meal at Mickey D's or B.K is over 10 dollars. I easily get 2 meals out of a Bigger Plate and I'm a big eater.
i’m gonna be honest, the food really isn’t that expensive. The food you mentioned is around 8 dollars without soda (just get water). Your price was 5$, compared the price to minimum/low skill wages, ranging anywhere from 4-6$ you mention to now 10-20$ It’s pretty affordable (for fast food, with minimal effort of your own), a little less than 1 hour of work = 1 meal! same as it was before. (justify the 1 hour price by considering it as 1 hour of your effort being transformed into someone else preparing and buying ingredients for your food.) it’s essentially a 200% increase for panda today as the same with everything else in life. Inflation’s real and we just gotta accept 1$ does not mean the same thing as it used to, we just use the same bills.
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.
1:29 I think this is like in most places when you work in the food industry. If you get the food for free you get tired of it real quick. It might be great a first but this usually wears off after the first two weeks. Especially at a place that has a limited menu. It's either this with Beef, Chicken or Shrimp.
This video relies more on hearsay than on proper investigation. The complaints from the employees seem to stem from either laziness or ineffective management. Having worked in a family-owned restaurant myself, I know that any food left out will quickly become unappetizing, which is why standards are put in place to maintain food quality.
I just had Panda the other day. It was the first time in years. My 8 year old daughter loves it. I like the black pepper chicken ...but like in the article...I always get more celery and onions than chicken. It's delicious though. 🤷🏾♂️
Employees losing their appetite for the food their restaurant serves is an extremely common, if not inevitable phenomenon. You see/smell it every day. You eat it almost every day. You can eat as much as you want, basically... it's ALWAYS there for you to partake... Just like a stale relationship, you're bound to lose interest. I LOVE sushi, but after working in an AYCE sushi restaurant for months, my appetite for sushi dropped sharply. Now, I can only have fresh nigiri or sashimi, quality over quantity.
Never been disappointed with panda express aside from one location in MD serving extremely watered down sodas constantly. At least in texas, the places are nice and clean, the food is great. And it is a good deal. Bowl can last me lunch and dinner tbh
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have explored the Panda express menu for years. I think most of their menu items are just ok. The only thing I actually really like is the sesame chicken. The flavor and texture are just way better than anything else on the menu to me. I also like how it comes with greens and peppers.
I must be a panda express worker, cause I agree their entire menu is tasteless, and greasy. I tried to give it to my cats to avoid a total waste...even they didn't want it.
Employees being shocked at the sugar in orange chicken isnt gonna stop me, I was a frequent customer at my workplace before I started working there and when I found out the amount of sugar in the drinks I'd usually ordered I still keep making myself one almost every day I work and I've been there a year and a half 🤣
Seems like a location issue or region issue. The one that I go to is constantly moving all of the food and everything is always fresh. I’ve never had an issue with the food.
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.
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.
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.
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.
So much assumptions and ghost accusers. Sounds like it's an employee and staff problem if they producing crap stuff. The panda where I'm at are usually serving food fresh from the wok and it's not slime or under cook.
I avoid Panda Express in its totality!!! If you have had a bad experience at a small Chinese restaurant, try again. The best Chinese food I have ever had has been at small “mom and pop” family restaurants. Especially once they realize you are a regular customer.
TLDR - This video pretty much said not to eat at Panda without even saying it. This video mentions nearly the entire menu of items to avoid at Panda lol.
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.
This review tells me that theres not enough leadership within panda express to ensure quality and accuracy of the order's. Nothing on that menu is hooribly difficult to prepare and if you follow the right processes you can maintain the food safely and serve it fresh. The problem is laziness and poor leaders. Not very surprised
so one guy made a reddit comment saying it COULD be cleaners and you decide that you should post that to an account with over a million subscribers? come the hell on
Panda Express is disgusting. And I have eaten (or thrown away) at several different locations.The meat - beef, chicken is alway fatty, dry, overcooked and leathery. I don't know how they do it, but the broccoli is like rubber. Mostly the food tastes bad and is just inedible. I have never finished an entry because the food is so bad. Find a good local chinese restaurant instead - there are lots of them. Let Panda Express die.
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.
except that three is nothing at PE worth eating. the food is terrible. Go to a good local mom and pop Chinese place instead. they will appreciate your business. PE couldn't give 2 craps - but you will after eating it.
its not panda express. the people just not cooking it right. i been their the food was amazing, but most of the time its not as good. so whats the difference? who cooked it.
Wait... why are they washing the rice... in America???? Our rice is processed, cleaned, and has nutrition powder added to it. Its not like 3rd world countries that need to wash their 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
What do you think is the best item on the menu at Panda Express?
Chow Mein and orange chicken.
Beijing beef
The best made pickles
Orange chi
nothing. just say no to panda express.
Sooooooo.....they avoid the entire menu?
The Fortune Cookie 🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣 apparently
I work at Panda and if you want Chinese food just go to an actual Chinese restaurant
Right!!! I was thinking the same thing lol 😂😂
Why is this a franchise again?
I currently work as a cook at Panda and have very little to complain about
Same here, I’ve been with Panda Express for over two year now. We never microwave our chow mein noodles, that’s just being lazy.

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
It's still a way better deal than other fast food though. Every meal at Mickey D's or B.K is over 10 dollars. I easily get 2 meals out of a Bigger Plate and I'm a big eater.

Seriously… and saying that the Impossible Orange Chicken had a following? Ridiculous. Mashed clearly has WEF ties.
Been eating Panda since 2006 and never had a bad meal. Love them!!
I like how 1/2 the complaints were hey we actually have to know how to do our job to make it.

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.
I love the mushroom chicken and the ragoons. 😂
All I know is...They should have never discontinued the BBQ Pork. Panda has never been the same without it.
Try Pei Wei or PF Changs
I believe this video. I've only eaten here three or four times, but every time it was terrible. No more.
I have explored the Panda express menu for years. I think most of their menu items are just ok. The only thing I actually really like is the sesame chicken. The flavor and texture are just way better than anything else on the menu to me. I also like how it comes with greens and peppers.
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
Sounds like we should avoid the chain completely. No problem.
I must be a panda express worker, cause I agree their entire menu is tasteless, and greasy. I tried to give it to my cats to avoid a total waste...even they didn't want it.

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
Seems like a location issue or region issue. The one that I go to is constantly moving all of the food and everything is always fresh. I’ve never had an issue with the food.

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.
Plastic in noodles got it 🤔 Avoid Panda Express 😭
Bring it on!
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.

Sugar on food in panda express, Im Diabetic and I've been eating this, Nowander I've been getting blood glucose spikes, no more for me.
Garbage food at garbage prices, you could make an entire weeks worth of orange chicken at home for the cost of x1 plate
Just avoid the store altogether.
They make sure to give you the least amount of food
"Bashed" strikes again. Wonder what entity paid for this hit job???
Then why are you watching it
Tell me how they're wrong.
I avoid Panda Express in its totality!!! If you have had a bad experience at a small Chinese restaurant, try again. The best Chinese food I have ever had has been at small “mom and pop” family restaurants. Especially once they realize you are a regular customer.
I tried Panda Express once. Thought the food was disgusting. I have never gone back.
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
Panda food less meat..but more all broccoli unions and bell peppers..
Don't care. One of my favourite take out places.
Good ai voice
Bahahhahhahahahahaha, this is awesome cause it's the entire menu bieng dragged
Yes. Basically nothing TO get 😂. Ugggh this video ruined Panda Express for me lol
I had the Angus beef and I will never order it again
K no panda express whatsoever got it thnks
Panda has the best Orange Chicken in the world!
LOL You ain't tried to local Chinese hood joints. Panda is garbage.
@@VegasX900panda is a team of professionals
TLDR - This video pretty much said not to eat at Panda without even saying it.
This video mentions nearly the entire menu of items to avoid at Panda lol.
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.
Have never ordered there, never will
This review tells me that theres not enough leadership within panda express to ensure quality and accuracy of the order's. Nothing on that menu is hooribly difficult to prepare and if you follow the right processes you can maintain the food safely and serve it fresh. The problem is laziness and poor leaders. Not very surprised
so one guy made a reddit comment saying it COULD be cleaners and you decide that you should post that to an account with over a million subscribers? come the hell on
this just shows you why i avoid Panda all together. I eat there once a year, the day it supports my nonprofit.
Panda Express is disgusting. And I have eaten (or thrown away) at several different locations.The meat - beef, chicken is alway fatty, dry, overcooked and leathery. I don't know how they do it, but the broccoli is like rubber. Mostly the food tastes bad and is just inedible. I have never finished an entry because the food is so bad. Find a good local chinese restaurant instead - there are lots of them. Let Panda Express die.
They tried to serve me the Terriaki chicken half raw
I don’t like Panda Express because it’s not that good to me.
The chow mein used to be good but every time I get it now it does taste like dish water. It’s foul
So Panda employees seems to complain a lot
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.
except that three is nothing at PE worth eating. the food is terrible. Go to a good local mom and pop Chinese place instead. they will appreciate your business. PE couldn't give 2 craps - but you will after eating it.
Chicken is delicious
Much to my chagrine they do not actually serve Panda. I will not be returning to dine there.
Y’all are expecting too much out of PANDA EXPRESS lmao😊
All the food there has the same weird taste. I went there twice. Two different locations in two different states. I will not eat there again.
its not panda express. the people just not cooking it right. i been their the food was amazing, but most of the time its not as good. so whats the difference? who cooked it.
Wait... why are they washing the rice... in America????
Our rice is processed, cleaned, and has nutrition powder added to it. Its not like 3rd world countries that need to wash their rice.
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
Seems like every mashed food video is about everything bad which is literally EVERYTHING that is on every meu.
All panda express is, 1990s mall asain food with good marketing.
