Panda Express Atlanta Airport
The setup is pure airport efficiency—a counter for ordering, a line that moves fast during off-hours but can bottleneck at peak times, and minimal seating that spills into the shared Concourse E food court. Posts on X and traveler reviews paint a mixed picture: some praise the consistency (“same Panda taste anywhere”) and quick service, while others flag grouchy staff or spotty stock—orange chicken’s been known to vanish late in the day. It’s not authentic Chinese by any stretch—more of a comforting, mall-food-court riff—but it’s a reliable pick when you’re navigating ATL’s chaos and need something hot and filling.
Approximate Prices (airport-adjusted):
- Entrée Plate (1 entrée + side): $10–$12
- Bigger Plate (2 entrées + side): $12–$15
- Sides (e.g., fried rice, chow mein): $3–$5
- Add-ons (spring rolls, rangoon): $2–$3
- Drinks: $3–$4
Prices reflect the airport bump, so it’s pricier than a standalone Panda Express, but portions are decent for the cost. If you’re in Concourse E and want a fast, no-fuss meal with a bit of flavor, it’s a solid bet—just don’t expect a culinary revelation or a quiet sit-down.
