Pan Asian Express

Are you dying of hunger? Is the MGM Grand’s food court the nearest solution to curb the growling from your starving belly?
You may step into the food court and Pan Asian Express may catch your eye. «Wow, I could really go for some Chinese food,» you think to yourself. The name might even remind you of something similar, say… Panda Express?
Well, if you’ve gotten that far, then S-​T-​O-​P. Take a step back. And go to McDonald’s instead.
This establishment is NOT worth your time, stomach space, nor money. You are paying for tiny portions of poor quality food. And while I wouldn’t expect food court quality to be the greatest nor Vegas prices to be the cheapest. this was just disappointing on a whole new level.
A single entrée, single side bowl was nearly $ 10 and was TINY — maybe barely enough for a child. I got my bowl with mixed vegetables and broccoli and beef, and while it was edible, it was not satisfying in the least. A double entrée, single side plate is much more worth the price at $ 11, but still definitely not worth the purchase at all.
In short, make the short walk to somewhere else on The Strip — or else you’ll very likely regret it!

If you’re staying at the MGM grand and you’re looking for a knock-​off Panda Express with higher prices, then this is the place for you. Does it get the job done? Yes. Was it satisfying? Yes. Would I come back here? Not immediately but I wouldn’t knock it off completely.
Pan Asian Express is your typical Chinese restaurant with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and a variety of other generic Chinese dishes. It’s a great place to eat if you’re craving Chinese food but I wouldn’t highly recommend it either since they are about $ 10 for a 1-​entrée plate.

I had to give a star to be able to write this review :|. Please do not waste your money here this place is disgusting!!! When I ordered I should have known bc they were low with chow main and instead of expecting a cook to prep a new bash the cashier brought a new round out of a warmer!!! wtf wow. This food is WAY TO OVER PRICED and pre cooked (rubbery taste). I hated every taste of it that I had to throw it away :|~ STOP AND RECONSIDER WASTING YOUR MULA HERE!!!

NO. Just NO. They dont even deserve 1 star.
Located in the food court inside Mandalay Bay, I went here for lunch on a tuesday after going to Shark Reef in the morning. There was a convention so the food court was packed. All the food stands had long lines while Pan Asian Express only had a couple people in it. I didnt want to wait so Chinese food it was.
I got the 2 entrée meal which came with a side. I got Orange Chicken and Sweet n Sour Pork. The side was the fried rice.
Oh man. Where do I start. I guess there was a reason why there were only two people in line. This place sucks! The Orange Chicken tasted more like pink chicken meaning that I dont think it was cooked all the way. The tempura breading was a bit thick. Maybe thats why it didnt cook all the way. The Sweet n Sour Pork tasted more like chicken than pork. Again it had a thicker than normal tempura batter and the meat inside was tiny. The Fried Rice was way too salty. I think they put too much soy sauce or something.
I ended up eating only a quarter of my food and just threw the rest away. I didnt even want to bother with returning it and getting a refund although I should have. Total I paid was 12 bucks and change which included a soda with no refill. The soda was the only thing that allowed me to wash down any traces of horrible crap that I ate. As im doing this review, im happy to report that I didnt get food poisioning. I wouldnt be surprised if my fortune cookie said «That was not chicken».
Service was decent. I got my food and paid. The lady that attended to me was nice. Its just that the food was atrocious. I hope these guys are not affiliated with the actual Pan Asian restaurant located off of Durango Dr in the Lakes area.
In closing, DO NOT EAT HERE! If you are going to pay for overpriced food, go to any of the other food stands. Im sure pizza, subs, and burgers will taste way better at those venues.

Ate here again with my friends around 7:30 in the morning really good place to start the day with good service and good breakfast. See u there on sunday again

Entrees served in very small portions. Fried rice way too salty. Don’t just get samples on the entrees. Make sure you try the sides too.

This was unequivocally the worst food I’ve ever eaten. The rice had no flavor, the chow mien was mushy, the orange chicken was old and soggy, and the sweet and sour pork was inedible. The food make feel feel sick for about 6 hours. I don’t understand how they stay in business. Stay away!

Salty ass chow mein!!! Expensive for crap or food wish I should have read reviews before coming here. stay away. salty food
Update… wow this food really did damage I got sick in the middle of the night my body literally rejected it. I hate being that person writing a negative review but seriously this place should be closed down.

Two stars since I actually finished my plate. I was starving and looking for a quick greasy Americanized Chinese fast food experience and unfortunately even with the bar set appropriately low, this place still disappointed. Go to Panda Expeess by Harrah’s to get your fix.

Overpriced crap Asian food. Noodles had wayyyy too much garlic and the entrees weren’t that great either. Better off eating McDonald’s nearby.

Sad! Though fried rice was fresh, chow mein, Ginger Chicken, & Crispy «Cashew» Chicken were OLD and Dry! Then, when asking about a cup of ice water, I’m told they only have soda water. Huh? I’m not shelling out $ 3.45 for a regular (read: SMALL) soda/​soft drink — probably without a refill anyway! Poor customer service, old/​dated food, and attitude from the cashier! NOT coming back here. (Can I give ¼ Star???) AND, when almost done with «Cashew» Shrimp — that only had peanuts! — there was a half of a cooked toothpick!!! (I HOPE it wasn’t a used Sample Toothpick!) :-(¼ Star is now downgraded to officially ZERO STARS!

This place makes Panda Express seem like high quality fine dining. Probably the most bland, tasteless chowmein I have ever had. Even soy sauce couldn’t help it. Server had to dig around to find chicken in the kung pao dish. To top it off, it was about $ 10 more than Panda Express would have been for the same dishes. Very disappointed, won’t be back, avoid at all costs.
