In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in State College; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Pennsylvania are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 10 am–10 pm.

Panda Express is a little more than a 30 minute drive , looked forward to enjoying orange chicken and honey sesame chicken and Beijing beef. Also do 1/2 rice, 1/2 chow main because I can't decide which I like more!!

One day, I walked into a Chinese restaurant and was really impressed. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. I ordered some spicy dishes, and the food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The prices were also reasonable. In the end, I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend it as one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve tried.

I walked in to them making fresh orange chicken, however, the first bowl is my portion, verses my friends portion. They had plenty of orange chicken, so I'm not sure why my portion was so small. My server, Abigail S, watched me taking the pictures, and did not ask if everything was ok with my order. The rice, even though it was dried out, had good flavor. The orange chicken, even though I watched them make it, didn't seem fresh. πŸ€”

I really like Panda Express. Since moving to State College, PA, this franchise has provided disappointing experiences multiple times. If I lived in a bigger city, I would go to another restaurant. On multiple occasions, the store never has the mushroom chicken prepared to go. The store has express in its title, and we always have to wait for food preparation. Change the name to "Panda Waiting All The Time."
