Panda Express - Mount Prospect

Quick service and reasonably priced food (though we all know it's not the healthiest option). I particularly enjoy their orange chicken and Beijing beef, which is why I chose to visit. The prices are very budget-friendly, and you get generous portions! Although the line was long, it moved quickly. The only downside was the tables—they were extremely dirty and clearly hadn't been cleaned. If dine-in is an option, I believe they should definitely make an effort to clean the tables.

When I entered, the restaurant was bustling, but all the staff were working together to keep the line moving smoothly. I inquired about the Pepper Chicken and whether it was spicy. The staff member assured me that it was made with pepper but not spicy, and she was right! However, I did notice that there wasn't much chicken in my serving. On a positive note, the tables and floors were clean.

They are not open at 10:00 AM or 10:30 AM, despite what their hours say. If they didn't want to work or had their lunch ready, they could have at least informed me instead of just watching me wait for them to open. It's no wonder they are not prepared.

I was just one of many waiting customers. I was told to wait 5 minutes for my vegetables, but ended up waiting 27 minutes while others were being served. When I asked the cook, Denny, how much longer it would take, he said he had just started cooking. Instead of addressing my concerns, he argued with me. The service was the worst I've experienced, so I decided to leave.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was poor and the rice was extremely dry. When I asked the staff about it, the girl said they didn't have any sauce to soak it in. I then called over the cook, who showed me a different sauce, but he seemed frustrated. I tried to speak with the manager, but noticed that all the employees were just goofing around in the back. I won't be returning to this place.
