Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

OUTSTANDING!! I pulled in at lunch and seeing all the cars and traffic, thought, "this will be a while." I walked in and walked out literally in less than 5 mins and they were super packed!! My order was hot and right and super good! Best Panda Express experience ever!!

I love panda express, they are the best americanized chinese food chain in my opinion. Beijing Beef and String bean chicken are two of my favorites! Of course, get them fresh otherwise it's not as good! The price is just right, and you get a lot of food! Add on some crab rangoons and you have a huge meal. The service is fast and quick, perfect for when you are in a rush!

I would rate this higher if only this particular Panda Express were consistent. The last time I was here everything was excellent. Food had a lot of flavor and staff is always friendly. I came in today with my family and everything was very bland. They were giving away free fire chicken for the Chinese New Year and the first couple bites were spicy. The rest of what they gave me tasted the same as the mushroom chicken I ordered. My daughter had fried rice and told me it didn't taste the same as what she normally gets. Maybe I'll go back, maybe I won't. There's another location inside Opry Mills mall.

For fast Chinese, it's the best. Their Beijing beef is my favorite dish but their shrimp dishes are great as well! If you're in a hurry and need Chinese food to go, this is your best bet!

Panda Express is what it is. You aren't going to get gourmet Chinese food here, but it will be tasty for the most part. You can get in and out in 10 minutes, and the food is freshly prepared (which is half of the battle with Chinese) I still prefer a Pei Wei or PF Chang's to this, but my wife and I ate until we couldn't eat anymore and the total bill was $15.

2013/026 I like going to Panda Express because it's just like a Starbuck's or McDonald's -- the food is consistent and uniform at each location. So is the seating arrangement, since this place was almost a mirror image of the ones I frequented on the other coast. I was in the shopping mall at 100 Oaks and had a hankering for something Asian-ish. I got my usual and it tasted just the way I expected it to. Up until I got to Nashville, I thought for sure I never had cream cheese in my Chinese food before. But when I saw their rangoons, I was suddenly reminded that I did have them back in California. I thought it was weird back then, too, but it didn't stop me from ordering them. The ones here had a weird herb used to season the cream cheese. I don't remember them tasting like that at other locations, but maybe it's been a while for me.

I've always liked Panda Express. I think the first one I went to was in Cool Springs Mall years ago. I also run into them quite a bit when I'm out in Cali. This location is nice because the food is always fresh, mostly due to the constant flow of people in and out going to 100 Oaks or Hollywood 27 movie theater. Although I'm not a big fan of peas and carrots in my fried rice or the extra cabbage in my chow mein, the main dishes make up for it. Some of my faves: Mushroom Chicken, Chicken and String Beans, Kobari Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Eggplant Tofu. The company likes to tout itself as "Gourmet Chinese Food," but I'm not sure why. It's decently priced and always fills me up. Strangely, it doesn't make me hungry an hour later like other Chinese places can.

Decent, Americanized Chinese food that will definitely satisfy your craving if you are looking for a quick lunch or dinner. I like the Beijing Beef, Orange Chicken, Peppercorn Shrimp, steamed veggies, and the potstickers are pretty good. This is definitely not where you would go for an authentic Chinese meal, but it is tasty every now and then if you are over this way and in the mood for something kind of Chinese-y.

3 stars is definitely means A-Ok in this case. Panda Express is just that, A-Ok. Some where I will return because it happens to be one of my favorite chain Chinese food spots, but it is obviously not in the ranks with fresh, traditionally made Chinese - which is nearly impossible to find in Nashville. That situates it at 3 fabulous stars. I grew up eating at Panda Express in our Malls back home in CA, they are a staple there along with the stand alone restaurants like this one in Berry Hill near the 100 Oaks Mall. The location is super convenient, directly off of the 65 and close to 100 Oaks and the theater. We first visited during Christmas time following a hellish shopping trip, the space is clean, organized and runs like a well oiled cafeteria-style, move that tray fast- kinda place. You request your selected dishes as they scoop them into your plate and serve you over a glass barrier. Fast and efficient. I also enjoy the clear view of the grill/kithcen area where the cooks are preparing the food,. The service is quick, food served hot and the quality is better than most fast food style chains. Prices are definitely fair and they offer special items on the menu which change periodically like Coconut Shrimp which can be added to your meal or chosen as one of your "meat" choices. They also offer veggies, low mien, egg rolls, fried wonton and crab rangoon and fried rice. You can also get steamed rice if you prefer. Overall worth the visit if you are in the area to take in a movie, shop at 100 Oaks or work nearby.

Usually you would never catch me eating at a Panda Express, in Tennessee this is the only decent Chinese food available in our neighborhood (all of Nashville actually). This is not Southern California where there is delicious, fast, huge portions of Chinese takeout everywhere you go. This is fine, I guess while I'm living here to settle the cravings. I'll be brave one day and try the Beijing beef ! Looks yummy.

Worst food ever. Please go elsewhere.

This was my first time here and I got there yesterday around 3 pm . Every thing ( most of the bowl )was empty . I asked for the steak and they told me I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes, the girl wasn't nice or friendly , I asked some questions and she acted so impatient I got the beef broccoli and it was hardly any beef in it and I also got spicy beef which was cold and not fresh. The food didn't have any flavor and was not fresh ! I will never go back
(2)Samantha B.
I loved this location. It was fast and friendly. I tried a few things and then ordered what I wanted. I was sad they didn't have the mango drink their menu was promoting since my husband specifically wanted that, but otherwise it was a pleasant experience.
(4)Chris J.
The staff was very nice - and the place was pretty clean. However there were three of us - and we all tried a couple different things and none of them were cooked very good. Things were quite over cooked,or the seasoning was either missing or over-powering. I would suggest sampling things ahead of time (if the line isn't too crazy)
(3)Melissa B.
I have eaten here three times now and all three times, I am not impressed but hey its Fast Food Chinese food...so what do we expect right??? The place is so small and always crowded. So, I thought, hey it must be good !! Right?? Large Crowds...but not the case in my opinion. And again, this entire review is MY OWN OPINION...so don't base your choices on me... The staff is really nice, but they are always in a hurry and I feel like I am Rushed...I don't like that feeling. I have to make decisions quickly...literally split second decisions or they will go on to the next person and just leave you standing there. Even though there is a bank of employees in the rear ( you can see them cooking) and fresh food is being pumped out quickly...I just don't like the taste of much of it. The prices are sort of high, and they give you small portions I feel. With taxes and drink, it totals about $10 or more per person, so I would rather go to a buffet for that price...at least I will have more decisions but mainly I will not be RUSHED... I am going to say the RUSHED feeling is the main reason I don't like this place. The third visit was MY LAST visit....sorry Panda Express, You are Just NOT for ME....but on a better note...the staff smile a lot and the place is bright and clean...just small and crowded.

Never have I been disappointed in this place. I love the teriyaki chicken and lo mein.
(5)John M.
A great place for quick cheap "Chinese food," staff is always friendly even during stressful times such as rush hour and apparent under staffing, and it's always clean and we'll maintained.

Two years in Nashville and the best Chinese food restaurant still currently open (What happened to Bamboo Garden?) is Panda Express. And this makes me a sad panda. Well, Panda Express is definitely American Chinese food, it is filling, and it is cheap (around $6-8 per meal). I would give it a C+ for authenticity, due to surprisingly good Gan Bao Chicken and stuff like black pepper and celery chicken and the honey walnut chicken that was always a guilty pleasure of mine as a kid. Heck, I'm even support the orange chicken Panda Express claims to have invented. On the other hand, they get docked for the sweet and sour and Mandarin Chicken. Really, any dish with only meat on it should be skipped, for it will be liberally doused in sauce. The food is cooked pretty quickly by a very visible kitchen team (with woks!), and service is prompt and friendly. There is little I can complain about here. ...except during lunch and dinner, when this place is jammed with people like sardines. Please Nashville, get a good Chinese restaurant. This is killing me.

Since this is a chain restaurant that is typically found in mall food courts or airports the reviews of this place will probably be bad and some terrible personal experience someone had. I like this panda express because its located next to some cool shopping locations (electronic express, Russ, tjmax, pet smart, Michaels crafts) so you can grab lunch while shopping. They have a ton of choices at this location. They have 6-7 different chicken dishes atleast! The food line is clean however the tables never seem to be bussed and the trash is always over flowing. The food over all is fresh and good tasting. Considering Nashville is the worst town for good Chinese food I'm happy this Panada Express is here!

When I am short on cash, and I want to get something tasty that'll make me full, Panda Express is nice because I can get a nice sized box of fried rice for $2. I don't know if I saw the word "Chinese" anywhere in the store, which is probably a good thing, since the store is about as authentic Chinese as Graumann's Theater in LA is. The place is clearly a chain, and has the slick corporate look to it. But it has a nice selection of all kinds of, um... Asian-style(?) dishes, all of which are fresh and loaded with veggies and meats. If I was in the 100 Oaks area, and my family needed a quick lunch, this would almost certainly be my choice. Nice little place.
(3)Joshua P.
Good food once I finally got it. Had to wait 10 minutes which wouldn't seem long if this wasn't supposed to be fast food. Love the Beijing Beef.
(3)Kaitlyn K.
Panda Express is fast food chinese - but it hasn't disappointed. My husband and I are from Los Angeles where there were a lot of these, so we were so excited when Nashville got one! It's similar to Pei Wei - but is clearly more "fast food." I love the Orange Chicken. My husband always gets the Kung Pao Chicken. The Golden Treasure Shrimp is great, too. You can't really go wrong. I also like the Veggie Egg Rolls. I recommend the two entree plate: Pick Fried Rice, White Rice, Chow Mein, or Veggies. I usually get half White Rice and half Chow Mein. Then pick two items.... Yum! They give you a fortune cookie too! :) TIP: You get more food if you order to-go....even if you eat there. :)
(4)Glenn F.
For the price and efficiency, this place totally rocks. Occasionally, I need to pick up take-out for the kids. It's fast and I always get the same thing; honey walnut shrimp and fried rice. I also enjoy the orange peel chicken and lo mien. Full of flavor and super convenient.
(4)Gary M.
This has become one of my favorite lunch places. Food is cosistently good. Sometimes the line is long and moves slow but this is usually due to so much to choose from and not the staff. Quality of food is worth any wait time.
(4)Mike W.
Pleasantly surprised. I did not typically associate Panda Express with high quality, but noticed they had switch to all natural ingredients. The food really tasted great. I had shrimp and beef dishes. Try it!
(5)Janet S.
Fast food at its best. Honey walnut shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and a wad of lo mein all for $8. Fast chirpy service...welcome to Panda how are you today, well just peachy when I get that honey walnut shrimp in me ...Pandaaaa!
(4)A Renee G.
I expected better food though the staff was very nice.
(2)Douglas B.
My wife and I ate here twice this past winter. The prices are cheap and the portions are adequate. But PE is, like all fast food Chinese cuisine, an underwhelming experience. The seasoning of most dishes is bland, the meats are chopped into tiny pieces so that you can hardly tell what you are chewing, and the sauces are gummy and usually overly sweet. The servers at the Powell Avenue location are pasty-faced runts with attitudes. Aside from that, Panda Express is great! =;)
