Panda Express - Mount Vernon

I'm not quite sure what went wrong with the chow mein, but it was about 85% onion. I could only manage a few bites before I realized there were way more onions than noodles in the entire dish. I think I ended up pulling out nearly two whole onions while searching for the rare noodle hidden among all that onion. It felt like whoever made this had watched Shrek a few too many times, because these onions had layers of even more onion underneath. Stanley Yelnats would definitely have flashbacks to the mountain if he ever dared to take a bite of this monstrosity. On the bright side, the chicken was good!

The portion size of the "BIG" plate was incredibly small—I've never seen portions this tiny before. Usually, I leave the restaurant with leftovers, as I tend to go when I'm very hungry. This was my first time ordering from Panda via DoorDash, and I'm not sure if I'll do it again.

I really enjoy Chinese food, and this restaurant is a fantastic spot for it. The dishes are delicious, especially the orange chicken paired with chow mein. So tasty!

I can't comment on the customer service since I stayed in the car while waiting, but the food made the experience worthwhile. I definitely plan to stop by more often in the future. A little tip: I recommend getting an extra meal to take home because you'll definitely want more once you've tasted it!

The taste and flavor were what I expected from a chain restaurant, consistent as always. However, the Chow Mein was slightly on the dry side. Having just moved from Arlington, I noticed a significant difference in portion sizes compared to the Panda Express in Smokey Point. I received only about a third of the amount I’m used to, especially with the Chow Mein.
