Panda Express

I had high hopes for my very first visit at Panda Express this evening. Sadly, I was and am disappointed. Is everything supposed to be so DRY?? No sauce to be found for either of my entree’s. The “crust” on the walnut honey shrimp and chicken was soggy and like the sauce if there was any was all soaked into the crust which made everything gummy. The noodles or should I say, what noodles?? Mostly cabbage and half inch slivers of noodles and again, they were DRY!? It is simply $13 I will not get back. The food is not palatable, but that’s ok, I’ve lost my appetite. I’m not entirely sure I will be back. Pics will show the LACK of sauce, gummy shrimp/chicken, and Dry noodle-less noodles.

Not sure what was up. The interior was closed. The lobby wasn't open so i went through the drive through. I ordered broccoli beef as one of my meats. I instead received bejing beef. I didn't double check the screen on the drive through as i didn't notice there was a screen untill i was driving up to the window. Also chop sticks were not offered and there was no fortune cookie in my bag. Also the food looked old( veggies) and the sting bean chicken breast veggies were under cooked. The chicken in the string bean chicken breast as well as the string beans were dry and overcooked. The chicken was like chicken jerky. The mushroom chicken didn't have any mushrooms in it(it had 2 slices). Also the Beijing beef( which i received and didn't want was super dry and missing topping on half of it) . The attendant was nice but it didn't make up for the restaurants low quality.

We ordered a bunch of food to be delivered by door dash to our hotel because this is a tourist town. I paid $52 for what I pay $30 for at home, 4 hours away in the same state. They didn't bring any silverware and we had none in the hotel room. The biggest problem was the 12 crab Rangoon we ordered had absolutley no crab in them. They were filed with just cream cheese and chives. They were disgusting. No soy sauce was provided either.

I have always come here as a local and purchased the Beijing beef as it was my favorite but these last couple times have been awful. The chicken has had a discomforting taste and hasn’t settled well. It has made me sick a couple times now and today will be the last. Another favorite gone due to poor food quality and most likely sanitary problems in the kitchen 🥲

We got to the Branson, MO, location at 10:30, when they are supposed to open. We got the automated “We’re closed” message. We waited 10 minutes, double checked the hours, checked for any signs that they would be opening late, but nothing. We then drove through and knocked on the pick up window. There was no one in the building. To say that my daughter was disappointed she couldn’t have her favorite meal is an understatement. I don’t know what happened, but I am not happy with Panda Express.
