The Biggest New Restaurant Openings in D.C., March 2025 | Eater DC

"A national fast-casual chain planted a campus location on George Washington University's grounds to give college students a quick option for portable lo mein and orange chicken. The new concept is a 180-degree switch from the space’s former life as Beefsteak by José Andrés, the celebrity chef’s veggie-friendly counter that closed a year ago." - Tierney Plumb

Restaurant Work Should Not Be Painful | Eater

"The fast-casual chain is testing automation and equipment upgrades—automated woks that eliminate the need to flip and clamshell grills that cut cook time in half—and adding operational fixes like high-capacity dining-room shelving to reduce steps, all intended to lessen time spent actively cooking and make shifts less physically demanding for employees, though fitting new gear into every location and the cost remain limiting factors." - Jaya Saxena

It was on point. Nothing different from the usual panda express, It had been a long time that I didn’t have some. I had some good chow mein fried rice ,orange chicken , plus teriyaki chicken . It was delicious and the price was reasonable. I ate my food at the food court peacefully.

We ordered 8 items and sat down to enjoy them here. I initially declined a bag since we were eating at the tables, but when I realized we had leftovers, I sent one of the kids back in to ask for one. They told her it would cost 10 cents. Thanks for the common courtesy Panda Express — I guess the kids will be carrying their own boxes the rest of the day instead.

I’m giving the food five stars when comparing it to other Panda Express restaurants. The place is immaculate and the employees were joyfully engaging with each other and enjoying each other’s company. They offer a warm greeting to everyone who walks in. My food and experience were as good as you can get from this brand. Well done to the management and the fun team.

We were back in our hotel in DC and checked if there was a restaurant open around. Surprisingly most restaurant were closed or about to close. We found that Panda Express was still open for another hour (most restaurant close at 6pm in DC, crazy!) So we headed there and found nice staff, great food and just the kind of place you want to eat something hot before heading to bed. Definitely recommended. The staff are so nice and so helpful. A really nice experience to repeat.

Good place to get some reasonably priced asian food within minutes of walking in. Order your food at the counter and take it with. There is plenty of seating at the plaza and it’s a great place to people watch and just take it all in. The food here is fast, but the quality is good and the cost is reasonable - about 10$ for a 2 entree plate, which is a fairly hefty meal. We went with the orange chicken and the chicken with mushrooms - no complaints on either, and they were both as good or better than what i have eaten down the street and i paid 3x this price.

Decent food. But Laure was just shockingly rude taking our order. Maybe better not to work in customer service if you don’t want to work in it.

On the last day we were in DC, we basically walked on average about 11 to 12 miles daily, we were extremely tired. This place being right below the hotel, and 1 of 4 other food still open at around 6pm, this seems like the best option at the time. The food is exactly what anyone ever ate at a PandaExpress would expect, lots of grease, loaded with salt, and when you are hungry and tired, it tasted great. One of my son wanted to be strange or funny and wanted just a bowl of white rice and nothing else. It wasn't on the menu, but they gave it to him. Being Chinese and know how real Chinese food taste like, I would not normally go to a PandaExpress, but it wasn't bad either.

Getting to this place is an absolute nightmare. Tourists on foot beware, if you're not staying in/familiar with the area. It was so confusing and scary to navigate. We ended up in all kinds of weird underpasses and dead-end stairways and once we found our way into the mall (took 20 minutes), everything was closed and the lights were dim, which was terrifying, to say the least. But the food court was open! ...for some reason? This Panda Express actually delivered big time. Generous portions, food was good, and the food was so fresh I could sit and watch the steam rise from it. If you want a soda, get a bottle, because the fountain was completely flat. This mall is super weird, but this Panda Express is good!
