Panda Express

[Blairman]

Has anyobe else been to the new Panda Express on NW Highway ?

Went this weekend, the drive thru was EXTREMELY slow, and seemed a little over priced for average take-out. Not exactly impressed

[metro]

I think it just opened this last week. As always give the new restaurants time to work the kinks out, especially a new concept to our market.

I think it opened within the last4 days....

I'd agree, I liked the orange chicken, but the Lo Mein was very dry. I'd probably give them another shot though. The service was good, but I went inside and there was no one waiting.

Orange Chicken is the only thing to get from them. That is their main offering. Use to get food from them everytime I flew through O'Hare Airport in Chicago.

UGH, they had those in DFW when I lived there and HATED them! the food wasn't very good and it was WAY overpriced!! I went through the drive through, didn't go it it's better to go to pei wei YUM

I haven't tried the one here, but the Kung Pao is great also. The usually have a monthly special/recipe and had Kung Pao Beef that was superb. The food is more California Asian than what we are used to. The more you eat it, the better it gets.

I was crazy for the Orange Chicken when they first opened a location in San Antonio, but now i can't eat there. They put a lot of effort into preparing the food during the first few months, then it became routine and wasn't the same

I ate at Panda Express last week... fried rice was horrible, almost inedible. Everything else was mediocre. They also forgot to give me my spring rolls. Probably won't visit again.

Also, I am confused as to why Taco Cabana left that location. Every time I went there (different hours throughout the day) they seemed to be doing pretty well.

watch out for the live roaches under your rice

I ate at the Panda Express on NW expressway this past weekend. Maybe my expectations for a drive-through chinese weren't very high, but it wasn't bad. The lo-mein was a little dry, but a little soy sauce fixed it. I had the hunan beef (not very good) and the orange chicken (pretty good). I loved the spring rolls. Very fresh and with a perfect crispy exterior.

There is new activity at the Denny's that was just built a few years ago north of the intersection of May & Memorial (north of Barnes & Noble, next to Taco Bell). Denny's closed last year and the site has sat there vacant for a while. It's a nice new building and just recently I've noticed crews in there doing construction.

Any idea what is going in that space?

Sorry I meant S&B burgers.

Edit.

[theilluminatedfirefly]

Really? Glad to see someone taking over that space. I've heard good things about S&B Burger's.

We will have plenty of burger places over here - Smash Burger, Five Guy's, not to mention Johnnie's.

Thanks for the intel.

[theilluminatedfirefly]

Looks like they are also developing and building something new next to the S&B Burgers place. Any idea what that will be?

Also, I noticed yesterday the sign is up at S&B.

Which direction from S&B? North, south, east?

[theilluminatedfirefly]

North of the S&B, right next to it. The lot touches the QSM access road; 140th I think.

Panda Express.

[theilluminatedfirefly]

Sweet!

Update -seems like they are taking foooorever building the Panda Express. They had to fill in a lot of the land because it was on a slope, but seems like it taking a lot longer than the usual fast food joint.

The building also looks like it is two stories. Not sure what that is about. I can't imagine that it is a functional second story, but I don't know why they are bothering to build it that tall. Anyone heard anything?

I passed by it today and kind of thought it resembled the new McDonald's on 23rd and Penn, just smaller.

[Pete]

It's going to be one of the new Panda Express prototypes:

That explains the design. Thanks Pete.

[theilluminatedfirefly]

Thanks Pete. Now if they will just open it. I'm hungry!
