Panda Express - Marion

Overall, it was quite good! This was my first visit since the government lockdown. I think they should invest in separate tea containers, as every time I go, the iced tea tastes like mango. When I ask for a refill to try the other container, it ends up tasting like mango as well. I'm not sure if the Kung Pao recipe has changed or if the person cooking it actually used a wok, but it had a lovely smoky flavor from the fire, which I really enjoyed!

The opening hours listed on Google were incorrect, leading us to wait outside for their opening, which was fine. One of the employees kindly apologized and informed us of the correct time. We decided to order online and enjoyed our meal outside since the dining room didn’t open until noon. I appreciated that they brought our food to us outside, which I thought was a nice touch. The orange chicken and walnut shrimp were both very fresh. It was enjoyable to sit outside, away from the main road, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

The checkout process was quite slow because a $25 gift card only registered as $7.20. I'll be reaching out to the management about this issue. On a positive note, the food was good.
