Comfort food

By joolscpa |

I can't think of anytime we passed through that we did not have a good meal from here. Actual visit - August 2015

Good quick meal

By tednjulie |

Had a layover in Atlanta not in the mood for fast food. Not wanting to head to another terminal gave P F Changs a try. They did not have my favorite dish, moo shu pork so I settled for honey chicken. It was fresh, hot, and quick. The waitress was awesome and attentive. Nice change of pace!!

Good Portion of Fresh Food

By JFGainesville |

We ordered a "plate" to share with two entrees and one side, so it was stir-fried rice with Black Pepper Chicken and Beef with Broccoli. Everything was delicious. Only $7.20 plus tax and plenty for two. In the "E" concourse food court.

Hungry during layover

By meeser |

I had a couple of hours between flights. Grabbed teriyaki chicken with brown rice and veggies at Panda Express. They cook it to order so I was able to get all white meat. The food was much better than anything I could get on the plane and it was very convenient to the delta flights.

Good Food

By LaShonda M |

Daughter enjoyed Chow Mein(Orange Chicken and Broccoli Beef). She said is was really good and ate it all. I tasted it and agreed. Would recommend.

Standard panda express

By WTJY |

If you are looking for your standard chain food then you can go to Panda Express. I have been here quiet often and like the orange chicken and fried rice . The food is same as you find at the other locations so it is comfort food.

Awesome

By Leaving_Samsara |

Everything was fresh and tasted great. Nothing was out of stock and the line moved swiftly for an airport location.

Im from china and i missed some chinese food so i went to panda express and TRASH it was not even close

By justmedanielallen |

I did not enjoy this place at all. Im from china and i live in america for work. I missed some chinese food so i decided to go to Panda Express .I regret that. Its food was very bad and it was nothing like chinese food.

Not Good, Not Bad. Average

By John v |

I was between two flights and wanted to eat something quickly. I saw this restaurant, that also has branches in The Netherlands. There was a line, but you were helped quickly. The food is stir-fried and put in large containers. You walk past the display case and say what and how much you want. You can ask for advice about the displayed food and the staff is happy to help you. I chose Chow Mein (fried noodles with some fried onions). Kung Poa chicken ( stir-fried chicken with peanuts, veggies and chili peppers) and wok fired shrimps ( stir- fried shrimps with veggies in sweet and spicy sauce. I also took a Coke. The food didn't taste bad and the portion were ok but this is not the real Chinese food. It is adjusted to the western taste. I did not check if alcoholic beverages and deserts were sold. The staff works quickly is polite and helpful. If you stand at the display case you can look into the kitchen and everything looks clean. For an eatery at an airport the prices are reasonable. This eatery is located in the food court in concourse E. It doesn't have its own dining section.. You must use the common dining area of the food court. There are also no toilets. You must use the toilets at the airport. You can also take away.

PANDA EXPRESS ATLANTA AIRPORT

By EXCORBIZ |

Good Sushi. The soy sauce and wasabi aren't as well as desired.

Love the orange chicken

By TooOldtoRun |

I try to go by the panda express on terminal E when I have a long enough layover. The place is nothing special but the orange chicken is excellent.

Fast Service - Reasonable Price

By Mike O |

This fast food restaurant is just that. At 5PM on a Thursday evening I arrived to find 10 people in line ahead of me; in less than 10 minutes I was walking away with my order. Well done. My food was moderately tasty; just what I expected for this type of chain restaurant. The Vegetable side had fresh, hot, and crunchy broccoli, carrots, and cabbage. The Orange Chicken has a bit of spice, and the Mushroom Chicken actually had mushroom flavor.

Great food fantastic value

By bernie680 |

Had 2 entrees and a side. Noodles and orange chicken and teriyaki chicken. I also had a regular Pepsi and all for less than 10 bucks. The good was delightful. Every bit eaten and enjoyed. That food was much nicer than was on offer in the Delta lounge. Give it a try you won't be disappointed .

Great Choice for Food in Atlanta Airport

By Michael B |

Located in concourse E, this is always a fresh food choice. The staff is always friendly and the portions are good.

Bad customer services.

By Brenda C |

They don’t have any customer services. They are not polite to ask about your food. I told the lady she just started yelling me with no reason. The worst is she is the supervisor in the area. Please please they need to take customer services Clasess.

Tasty and reasonably priced.

By WearyTr4veller |

Airports are often horrible places to eat: nasty overpriced junk food or pretentious overpriced slower food. The food I had was served quickly, it was hot, it tasted great and it was well priced. What more do you want from airport food?

Horrible food, sold in a misleading way

By Steamrabbit |

I first noticed that something was wrong with this place as I stood in line looking at what was supposed to be a menu above the counter. It has prices but doesn't actually say what items they sell. There is no menu per se. Ok, may I please have just an order of orange chicken? No. No, I'm not allowed to just order orange chicken. I have to pick a type of rice, and then I am required to choose two entres. But I don't want any rice. Too bad. When the box was finally handed to me, I sat down and opened it up and figured out pretty fast why I'm not allowed to opt out of the rice. This box was filled with 90% fried rice with a tiny, token amount of what looked nothing like orange chicken and some beef with broccoli on top of it. Also a couple of spring rolls I'd asked for. They are ripping off customers by giving them mostly rice. What little there was of the entres tasted awful. The beef was a pale, sickly color like pork gone wrong. The chicken (or whatever it was) just tasted like salty oil. It was the worst Chinese food that I have ever eaten in my life. In short, this is a horrible food vendor which nobody should ever patronize at all. Even by the low standards of airport food, Panda Express is awful.

Pretty good for airport food

By cowbulls |

We decided to give this Panda Express location in the International terminal a try, figuring it was going to be better than Delta's food service. We were pleasantly surprised. The two selection we picked were both pretty good and the noodles were also prepared properly. The service was not friendly, but not rude either. I would eat there again before my next International flight.

Out of everything!,

By Mr G |

Ok...fast food place...at an airport. Not expecting something memorable. But....they were out of noodles. Out of teriyaki chicken. Out of Kung pao chicken. Out of everything I wanted. It was 16:00, a peak time. Get a new manager. If he doesn't realize that this is rush hour at this airport, he doesn't deserve the job. And no one seemed to care. He should anticipate and plan. Have the fires going. And have the cooks and the front line talking. No excuse. On a positive note, what they did have was good. Much better than the Orlando airport.

Lady taking orders is the worst I’ve ever aeeny

By Erika W |

The lady taking orders refused to take my order. I said I half super greens and half chow mein and she just said no splits. Then I said super greens and she refused to talk to me. So I waited on someone else to ask if they had super greens and he said yes so I waited. Once the greens were ready, she refused to serve my order.

Fresh and tasty

By bill c |

As good as any standalone Panda stores. My meal was fresh and tasty. I sat in a back corner which gave me a slight break from the airport din and hubbub.The nearby cutlery dispenser had forks only. I would go back.

Fast and delicious

By Lindve S |

The service was quick and the orange chicken, Beijing beef, and chicken with mushroom were great. The chow mein has no flavor so that could definitely undergo some improvements. Affordable in an expensive airport priced environment.

The girl and register was very..... unwelcome

By SN123T |

I went to register and said. I want to have sesame chicken .. and the young girl just say..." I want? don't you have manner?... I would like.. May I please have" ... and so on... I was like what a f... is wrong with you? If you are in my place.. you will be single for the rest of you life... you

really surprised!!

By toniShanghai |

As others have said this is at terminal E Atlanta Airport. It is fast food but it's good fast food and good value. There is a choice not to have rice or noodles as you can choose to have their vegetables instead as I did. They also offer brown rice. You then add either 2 or 3 'main' selections as well. We have spent a long time in China and as a result rarely eat Chinese food outside of China, however we liked the look of the food and we found that this was very acceptable, freshly cooked, and good tasting. Also at $6.95 and $8.65 excellent value, especially at an airport location.

super fast service, long line and had my food in under 4 minutes!

By socker131 |

This was fast very good food and price was right. I had a 15 minute time frame and was able to get my food sit and felt comfortable while eating and was on my way in 15 minutes. I even used the free WIFI that is available in the food court area. A good thing to know as the Free WIFI in the Atlanta air port isn’t! The portions of meat and shrimp were very fair.

horrible food in small portions and friendly employees

By ThinkerDoer |

You get lots of noodles and rice and little of the entrees, many of which are rarely fresh. I would not recommend this, even though employees are friendly.

Awful service

By cynthiarob |

Don't try to order anything that isn't standard. With 5 FIVE servers who obviously don't speak English as a first language,ordering a "Big plate Special with one extra side was beyond them . They put the two sides in the carton and the third entree in a box on top.I realise the prawns had a small premium attached but the meal rose from$(around)9 to $(around )15. I said it was incorrect and was told it was correct. No way was I paying $6 for a few prawns.I left.......

Dont be in a hurry here for breakfest

By dan r |

Our group of 6 came in with high expectations, but left with disappointment and frustration. We arrived with a 110 minute layover, and there was 2 tables of 2 inside so that we felt we should get in and out with good time. We were seated and given the menus and a drink order was placed. There was only 6 things to order for breakfast and it was to early for lunch meals. (BOO ) After a wait of 15 minutes for beverages, we felt we needed to order just in case. We waited for 50 minutes for the food and kept telling the waitress that we still had to jump concourses yet to get to our gate. We finally got our food with the excuse that they had only 1 chef and he was busy??? Other couples came in after we had gotten our drinks AND got their meals before us. We will never go there again. Food was good, but we could of found better.

Never again

By Sue |

Rude. No service. The server told me if I dont know how to read. The cahier was so rude. Food was bad. Threw my money away horrible service

We Really Enjoyed Our Food Here

By PlsTravelWithMe |

We are a family of four who had a layover on our way to Cancun. We all bought our own two entree meals and thought it was fresh, tasty and a good portion size. On our layover back from Cancun we ate here again. No complaints from my family. It's located in the "E" Terminal of the airport.

Out go-to place at ATL

By dr_j_now |

We try to connect through Atlanta whenever possible; we love how easy it is to get around the airport. Panda Express is our go-to meal and it's always easy to access via the Plane Train. Service is always quick, food fresh and delicious, and the prices very reasonable; especially when you consider it's airport food! This is one of the best places to eat in this airport, in my opinion.

Huge portions and good price

By BRDave225 |

Panda express is exactly what you would expect. Fast chinese food. But when you're in an airport, they are a great alternative to the expensive dining choices. The food was good, and the portions were very generous. The prices were only slightly higher than those you would find in a mall. Definitely a great find, in the jungle of expensive airport food choices.

Standard PE food (good) but a real issue with personnel (bad)

By RobotButter |

I travel a lot, spend layovers in ATL a lot, and observe things in the concourse E food court a lot. I like PE food, and this location is consistent with the brand. But I am always "impressed" with how poorly the staff working at this particular outlet always seem to exhibit some sort of behaviors which should not be present. Grouchy service, insulting looks, muttering and scoffs at the customers, public arguments among the employees... for whatever reason, it really appears that no one ever wants to be working here. Keep in mind this review is a product of consistent, cumulative observations over several years - today just happens to be the day I'm sitting here and finally publicizing my observations. It is also worth noting that I only ever observe the opposite level of hospitality at all the adjacent restaurants -- so I can't bring myself to chalk it up to the surrounding airport environment. I suppose this location is fortunate enough to get fresh foot traffic on a daily basis that they don't have to worry about maintaining repeat business, but I can't imagine why only this spot is so adept at finding people who have no business being placed in front of the public.

Excellent for an airport food court place.

By MnineM |

Atlanta Airport. Terminal E. Food court. About 6 to 6:30 p.m. The food court was packed with the usual array of travelers, obnoxious to happy-to-be-here. Quality of food, quantity, pace of moving the line was the same as any other Panda Express (that has its act together). Rice + 2 entrées for $7.++

Always good

By Michael W |

You can always count on the same tasting food no matter where you travel from Panda Express. 3rd one I have visited at airports in 3 different states. Yes I know it's a chain, but I cant say the same thing about some other fast food chains

Panda Express is simply terrible! Highly processed food "passing" as Chinese.

By SavantIII_11 |

Panda Express is simply terrible! Highly processed food "passing" as Chinese. Stop wasting your time with the family fast food joints. Terminal B has a great adult restaurant fronting a "book store." If time permits, goto the international terminal for a nice selection of NEW adult restaurants.

Airport Panda Express

By RickMIusa |

Typical for an airport Panda Express.....food turnover is usually good so the items are fresh enough.....

Basic Chinese fast food but fresh ingredients

By Thomas V |

This is the basic fast food Chinese cafeteria line place in the E Concourse of the airport. Lots of garlic so be aware of the aftermath of eating some of the selections. They are fast and make lots of food so it stays pretty fresh so you can take it away or eat it in the food court. Spicy selections are good if you like heat. Pretty good value for the amount/volumeof food you get.

Fast and fresh.

By travelnduck |

With a layover I had time to enjoy a meal and this was a good choice. The line was long but received my food in less than 5 minutes. By being busy everything was of course fresh. Flight crews and airport employees were among the customers. When time permits I will be back.

Great customer service

By Layla Tasneem A |

The manager Fatima was very pleasant and had great customer service. And the food was great.

Uninspired staff - Uninspired food.

By Glen W |

Poor quality food, staff doesn’t understand English, items on menu not available. Avoid this restaurant, such a waste of space.

Typical Express Service

By SamoneSays I |

The service and the food at this particular location is very typical, the staff seems use to people rushing for a flight so they are already 5 steps ahead of you. If I were rushing the service would have been perfect, but I had a little time before my flight and wanted hot food. My order was rushed the rice was cold and they gave me so many peppers and onions that I couldn't even see the meat that I ordered. When I actually took my fork and pushed it around I counted literally 5 little slivers of beef. So it seems I paid about $7 for rice, peppers, onions and 5 little slivers of beef. I didn't complain but I'd probably try another option

At least it was vegan

By Cindy M |

Stuck in the airport waiting for international flight, wanted a light snack to hold me over until dinner. Got a side of mixed veggies. They looked undercooked so I asked for some sauce on it which they happily provided. The veggies were cooked slightly above being raw, so none of the natural sugars had come out of the veggies and none of the sauce would adhere to the veggies. But it was healthy, price was in line for the other options in the airport, and while the line was long, it moved fairly fast.

Amazing customer service

By Leelee A |

Customer service was amazing

Pretty Good and Well Priced

By David B |

This Panda Express had fresh, nice tasting beef with broccoli and fried rice when we stopped by. The price was about $8 for enough food to fill my SO and myself while on a layover.

Food poisoning between flights... not really nice!

By Andrea C |

My daughter and I were in transfert to Amsterdam, to take advantage of à night flight and try to recover jet lag once in Europe, we'd decided to dinner before the flight. I tried to eat something healthy and abondant, what an idea to go to the Panda Express at the intercontinental terminal of Atlanta airport. I take the "no choice" menu (because you don't decide what to eat), servers don't seems to understand you so they fill the box with food they select for you... some fry rice, a kind of chicken and vegetables siruped in non-identified transparent sauce. 4 hours later, during the flight, I was caught by vomit during the rest of the flight. I've been send by Delta crew to the Airport medical clinic to get rehydrated by intravenous infusion and anti-emetic tablet. Arriving at destination in France, I was sent again to the urgences of the nearest clinic to make all studies and rehydrate again. Diagnostic from the doctor : food poisoning I want to specify that we don't eat anything else during the flight. Fortunately my 10 years daughter took her food in another restaurant. I hope others travelers that eat there were not surprised during flight, such a bad experience.

Worst client treatment in USA

By Ole P |

Totally demotivated lazy, slow, barely speaking any understandable language, unpleasant, out of shape slobs . Very expensive food for 2 $47 and I will avoid eating their food everywhere from now on. Thanks for representing Panda in such a terrible way, yo!

Worst customer service

By Chau P |

The food was not that good (they ran out of popular dishes) and people are very arrogant. Will never come back.

Best Chinese food worth traveling to Terminal E

By ChadPeterson47 |

Of course Panda Express is a fast food Chinese. That's what it is all over the US. But what a treat it was to find this affordable food in this large Atlanta Airport. We were coming back from a 7 day Caribbean Cruise, eating highly fancy food. We had a 2 and half hours layover on the way back from New Orleans to Seattle. Our flight landed in Terminal A. Our next flight leaves at Terminal B. We took the "train" from A to B. Got to Gate B16. Now what. It was 530PM. Not that hungry yet. So I left my baggage with my wife at the gate, took the underground "train" from Terminal B to E, stopping a C, D. Took the massive escalator to a new city called Terminal E where a grand piano sits in the middle. Wow, why is Terminal E look so much better than B. Not fair. And I saw in the horizon a Chinese take out restaurant, Panda Express-The ONLY Chinese in Atlanta Airport (correct me if I'm not wrong) so I rushed to it like a thirsty gazelle looking for water in the Serengeti. Ordered the regular 2 entrée one side order for myself and my wife plus extra bucket of fried rice for later needs on my 5 hour flight back. And only $14. Took the underground train back to Terminal B and back to reunite with my wife guarding our baggage. It took 30 minutes total to go to the other end of the airport and back... what an experience and what a prize to eat this delicious Chinese food. Excellent taste. No MSG. Fresh, authentic Chinese. Better than some make believe American Chinese food found all over the East Coast and Midwest. The Chinese food on the Cruise ship did not even come close to Panda Express. Believe me, unless you think you have to have frog legs, snakes and jellyfish to be considered authentic Chinese, you should settle for Panda Express.

Quality and portions have dropped drastically

By paragkarania |

This used to be a good location to eat in the airport. As of the last 6 months the quality of food and the portion sizes has drastically reduced. Food is served cold and has little or no taste. Other concourse have better restaurants that serve similar kinds of food

Dried out, just not good.

By ApoloniaTraveller |

The orange chicken was kind of dried out. The other type of chicken I got was fatty and didn't even look like chicken. The lo-mein was ok. I wouldn't eat here again if I happened to be in the airport.

The Best Chinese Fast Food at the Airport

By InternetAla |

In general Panda Express is the best Chinese Fast Food. One suggestion is to be flexible with your food and look at the selections before ordering. Choose the ones that are freshest and it will go from good to Outstanding as the receipes are restaurant quality and tend to dry out if they sit out for a while. The Orange Chicken is the least healthy, but also the best tasting. Get the Hot and Sour soup as a 3rd item if it is available!

Cheap and good.

By Ricech03 |

Fast meal and a good price for the food. Not like a delicatessen real chinese food but very well cooked and savory. The chicken fries were crunchy till the last bite and the vegetables in the different orders were al dente... didn't like the springrolls because it taste like I thing it is...a frozen snack just fried and get still. Really like the prices well worth it and the one dollar package of fortune cookies was a steal!

Regular stop for me

By Maarten B |

I know this is a large chain but i just like the food. As far as fast food goes best option for atlanta airport. Delta lounge offers bo food so this is a good option close by.

Yum

By Maggie R |

Fast, efficient and in a high traveled well lit area. Good for kids and adults alike. It is a general but consistent product that they deliver.

Orange chicken is a must!

By MattB1222 |

The value for money is great and the service is pretty quick, the orange chicken and the beef were lovely with chow mein, I tried this in 2008 and when I knew I was coming back to USA this was the first thing I had to eat.

Rude as hell

By marshall l |

Rude!! Never been to a restaurant where no one talks to you just look at you like what do you want. Ignored me while I was trying to pay to so he could talk to his friends. I get it you don't like your job don't take it out on your customers.

Good price and good taste

By Roberto C |

I stayed at Atlanta Airport, this place has a food excelent taste and serve generous, I really recommend that place for lunch, the price are not expensive, and you are in the airport, good choice.

Excellent teriyaki chicken and roast ribs

By Paulyn G |

I always eat at Panda express on my monthly trip. Their teriyaki chicken and roast ribs are super delicious, must try. As Chinese, I love it very much. Best food in Atlanta airport.

My go to place when passing through ATL

By TooOldtoRun |

Dinner time layover at ATL. As usual I went to Panda Express in the center of terminal E. The quality of the food is the same here at the airport as panda express outside the airport. The service is relatively fast and the food is good. I see lots of pilots eating there and they should know the best places to eat at the airport!

Long line moved quickly - cup of water is very small

By travelmakesUrich |

Great choice when you're traveling and just can't stomach another burger. The line was long, but moved quickly, and the servers were pleasant. I had planned to buy a water bottle, but hubby texted that he'd picked up napkins and straws, so I just asked for a cup of water. It was very small, with no good way to refill it, so I'd recommend if you don't have your own water bottle and aren't going to get a soda, buy bottled water.

Good food for an airport

By WSW64 |

My mother and I ate here prior to leaving for a recent trip. The food was very good, better than most airport food.

Great airport food

By SimiKingston_Jamaica |

I was on connecting flight from Los Angeles and needed a hot meal before catching my next flight. The Panda Express at the airport in Atlanta (ATL) was near my gate E15. Though there was a line it moved quickly. I made my order at approx. 3:12pm and left at 3:15pm. The server was pleasant. Portions were good. I had teriyaki and sweet fure chicken breast with fried rice. The meal was hot and delicious🙌

Terrible service

By Getaway04541584476 |

The service was terrible. The people working there were not friendly at all, arrogant and were not very willing to help.

quick food-nothing great

By jlantern3 |

Hey, its panda Express at an airport=don't expect top quality Chinese. It served its purpose. Okay at best...nuff said

Double charge

By Voyager246386 |

O I ordered $10.79 worth of combo plate at Panda Veranda - #2. After checking my account, there was another charge of $ 39.93 from the same place.

Decent food prompt service

By KEW_147 |

The food was standard "Mall" craft service. I'm not sure that we got what we paid for it did not seem that the staff were well trained.

Pretty good

By Darry A |

The food was very good but the teriyaki chicken breast was a little bit dry. I am used to it being juicy in wisconsin. But overall it has very good.
