My wife and I decided to try Panda Express for a home date night dinner as it came highly recommended by a close friend of ours. We chose to order online, and pick up our meal since they didn’t have delivery. At first glance the price seemed too good to be true as we paid just over $20 for our meals (average dinner size portions for two at a typical Chinese food establishment usually running about 45-50 dollars,unless of course you want specific items). However upon arrival at the location in South Trail, I realized the portions were about a lunch size. I appreciated the simplicity of ordering on their website but it would’ve made more sense to provide a more comprehensive approach in the event I or any other patrons of this establishment would like a dinner size portion rather than only the choice of lunch or catered sizes. Upon opening the meal, I got the sense that the food was harvested from their buffet style layout on location as opposed to being made fresh (picture yourself having dinner from food prepared around 11 am for lunch, it sitting out in the open air of a restaurant for six hours after it had been made). Within the first few bites not only had both my wife and I concluded that it was starting to turn but additionally it must’ve been the last of what was already on display. Long story short my bathroom and I grew quite close that evening. I appreciate my friends suggestions when it comes to cuisine, however there will be no repeats for Panda Express after this experience. The food itself was extremely sweaty starchy, flavourless, and lukewarm. I will also add the spring rolls were undesirable, they smelled and tasted burnt and clearly had been sitting out all day. As a recommendation, throw a stone blindly in any direction in Calgary and you’d certainly be able to hit a fine Chinese food establishment superior to Panda Express (South Trail). It certainly did not live up to the standards that made it so famous in the U.S. Happy Dining.

Good food, friendly staff. Definitely a good food option for Calgary! Would be a lot more successful if it was advertised more or had more locations so all of Calgary can become more familiar with this new American brand. Panda Express is far better every time I've gone here in Calgary, than any of the times I've gone while visiting the U.S.

I have NEVER written a negative review of a restaurant, only positive. I am rarely disappointed. However last night I made my third ever trip to Panda on 130th, and it will be my last. The first thing I noticed being 3rd in line was there was a lot of confusion, and watching the 2 up front staff was like a cartoon, bumping into each other laughing making the fact that some dishes were "out" or would take 5 minutes was somehow funny. I know that fast food it where you find teenagers, but it shouldn't be ALL teenagers. When I got to the front, I ordered my son's favourite, orange chicken, and in keeping with the two prior visits, NO orange chicken. And 5 minutes to wait is ridiculous. This is obviously one of the most popular dishes, and you didn't just open yesterday, MAKE SURE you ALWAYS have plenty. It's not rocket science. I wanted shrimp, and the two shrimp dishes both didn't have enough for one order, so like anyone with half a brain I said "OK, just put the two together and I will pay the higher price" makes sense right? But you know what the geniuses at Panda Express decided "sorry I am not allowed to mix them". Are you kidding me, do they not get along, is my money not good enough. It's not like they have that many items, its actually an extremely limited menu. I just don't get this place, I wanted to scream and insist, but by this time there were 10 more suckers lined up behind me. I would recommend that if you have a sense of reason, DON'T GO TO PANDA EXPRESS. There are too many other awesome food choices around that have at least one reasonable adult in the house.

Nice and yummylicious food with reasonable price value. Variety of combo times to choose from. Great veggies.good portion of kids menu. My only recommendation is when you go there during supper time all the food on counter seems to have turned dry and all the veggies are soft and mushy especially brocolli. Try and visit the place during lunch hour for best experience.

Last visit was not very good. Rice was cold and hard and chicken was cold. Previously the food was much better.
