01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of Collierville, Tennessee, Panda Express at 540 W Poplar Ave offers a vibrant taste of classic Chinese-American cuisine that resonates with both long-time fans and first-time visitors alike. Known for its quick service and flavorful dishes, this location brings a dependable and satisfying dining experience that satisfies cravings for bold, comforting flavors.

At Panda Express, the menu revolves around customization and variety. Guests can indulge in the "Bigger Plate," where they craft their own meals by choosing either two half sides or one full side paired with three entrees — all for an affordable $11.40. For a lighter option, the "Build Your Own Bowl" allows choosing two half sides or one full side alongside a single entree at $7.75, perfect for a satisfying, yet manageable portion. Young diners are also thoughtfully catered for with the "Kids Meal," featuring combinations of junior-sized entrees and sides, accompanied by a drink and cookie, ensuring a family-friendly outing.

The highlight undoubtedly lies in their famous Orange Chicken—a fan favorite that fans rave about for its perfectly crispy exterior and luscious, tangy sauce that lingers on the palate just enough to keep you coming back for more. The variety of entrees, from savory beef options to fresh vegetables, creates a rainbow of textures and flavors that make every bite a little adventure.

Dine-in guests enjoy a clean, welcoming atmosphere with efficient service making it a comfortable stop for lunch, dinner, or a casual meal on the go. Drive-thru patrons are equally appreciated, with attentive staff such as Takiyah—praised for friendly and prompt service—adding a personal touch that elevates the overall experience.

Customers consistently share heartfelt stories of positive interactions, highlighting the team’s commitment to customer care. From accommodating missed online orders with sincere apologies to managing busy shifts with grace, employees like Ms. Asia offer service that feels genuinely thoughtful and professional. Patrons also appreciate the seamless online ordering system that streamlines pickup, making every visit hassle-free.

Haven’t been to this location in years, randomly thought about orange chicken today after stopping by Walmart. Takiyah in drive thru provided excellent customer service. She asked if I wanted any other items, drink, donation. Service was quick and the food was great. A lot of memories working here too, glad it’s doing so well.

I tried dinner, it's tasty. Actually the cook missed my online order for some reason and he prepared it once I reached store and he reached me and apologized to me. Impressed with their customer preference.

I was there this week and watched how an employee worked to serve several customers mostly by herself. She was efficient preparing orders and polite to me as she worked. Thank you Ms. Asia for your good service.

Never have issues here. Have to wait sometimes for them to cook more food, but that's normal anywhere you go. Always friendly whenever we go whether we eat there or take home.
