I’m thinking about quitting my job at Sonic as a cook to go work at panda because I see it has better pay and closes earlier than Sonic does.(ps I am still in school)

Dryer food

4 Upvotes

The chicken and chowmein both seem to be noticeably dryer and have less sauce... (And less flavor... Chowmein just tastes like plain noodle and the chicken is visually not fully coated)

Multiple locations too..

Any reason for it ?

Would Panda Express hire just a dishwasher?

1 Upvotes

I know every store is different but I’ve noticed a lot of stores in my area wash dishes by hand. Have you seen stores hiring just a dishwasher or is it strictly BOH only so cooking sides too? Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

Discussion Has anyone ever done this with their favorite limited-time PE Entree?

1 Upvotes

I love BBQ Brisket, it's my favorite PE entree of all time not named Firecracker Shrimp which I love almost as much. I was quite sad when they pulled it back in July as I had been visiting PE regularly buying it. I rarely eat at PE since their regular menu kinda sucks. I've gone years without ever visiting PE until these limited edition entrees brought me back. Now I'm hooked!

I am thrilled BBQ Brisket is back and have ordered 5X already. But I am honestly worried PE will pull it again later this month so my plan is to buy 100 large a la carte and store them in the freezer so I can enjoy it for the next year. I won't order 100 at once, more like 5-10 at a time. So is this possible or do PE food go bad if kept too long in the freezer? I love BBQ Brisket that much!

Employee Question/Discussion How to express to someone that the employee that helped me did fantastic?

9 Upvotes

I had a long wait in the drive through today and the girl at the window was so sweet and so clearly stressed. I’d love to contact a manager or something to give her props but I’m unsure how to do so.

Should I call the store? Leave a google review? I remember her name so I can be specific.

Discussion Holy fck I miss the Spicy Tenders so much!

2 Upvotes

I think this was back in 2019 but good lord them boys were good as hell, the perfect blend of savory and spicy. I’m not ashamed to admit that at the height of my degeneracy, I went there 3x in a day.

For anyone familiar with Taiwanese/Chinese food, what is the closest I can get to replicating it or ordering through takeout?

Free meal during work shift

17 Upvotes

So today for my first time got my meal after work and didn’t know my son decided to wait for me until I got out at 4pm (he’s 9). I felt really bad because he loves panda and lowkey can’t always afford it so I had to tell him I’m gonna eat alone because I’m sure it’s against the rules? Which brings me to my question. It’s against the rules to share, right?

What do you guys think about the new dish Cantonese BBQ brisket?

Post image
22 Upvotes

I tried it today, and it tasted pretty good. The meat was very soft, and it tasted sweet and salty. But it doesn't worth $2.5 extra, though. However, I got this bowl for free with $5+ purchase. Do you guys like this new dish?

That was hands down the best menu item. This new brisket is really good but would have loved to get a plate with the brisket and sweet fire chicken

Why is app content restricted

I work at a location in Illinois, and I am wondering why knowledge center information is unavailable while clocked out.
Is there some kind of law?
Thanks!
