Panda Express - Lahaina (Keawe St)
About
Convenient Flavors in the Heart of West Maui
Located just steps away from the bustling Front Street corridor, this spot serves as a reliable go-to for those navigating the Lahaina area who need a fast, consistent meal. Whether you are coming from a morning of exploring historical sites or heading toward the nearby harbor, the setup offers the familiar comfort of American-Chinese classics without the long wait times of a sit-down bistro.
The Signature Experience
The scent of ginger, soy, and sweet chili greets you the moment you walk through the doors. The star of the menu remains the Original Orange Chicken—crispy, wok-fired bites glazed in a sauce that balances citrus tang with a subtle kick of heat. It pairs perfectly with their signature chow mein, which retains a distinct bite rather than leaning into the sogginess found elsewhere. If you prefer something lighter, the string bean chicken breast provides a crunchier, more savory profile that stands out against the sweeter offerings.
Practical Dining in Lahaina
The atmosphere is strictly functional and high-energy, catering to locals on their lunch break and tourists grabbing a quick bite before an afternoon excursion. Be aware that during the peak midday rush, the line can snake toward the entrance, and parking in this part of town requires a bit of patience as the lot is shared with other nearby retail points. It is a high-traffic hub, so expect a lively, slightly noisy environment that prioritizes speed and efficiency over a quiet, intimate dinner setting. For a no-fuss meal that hits the spot when you are craving bold, familiar flavors, this location delivers exactly what you expect.

The worst Chinese food. Seriously lacking any flavour. Don’t understand the hype.

This review is for their catering service which I was amazed by due to their efficiency. The west side's one and only Panda Express is located across the Lahaina Cannery and Lahaina Gateway shopping centers, in a cluster of other businesses including Walgreens, Starbucks w/ drive thru, and a Burger King that was supposed to be a KFC before they pulled out. The inside is clean and spacious, with regular and high top tables, and a few outdoor seats. A drive thru is available. We were on our way to the west side to have lunch at another establishment, when my mom tells me that we had to also visit family in Lahaina because someone recently passed the day before. Thinking back to when my dad passed, the family we were about to visit brought over tons of food to us, which is what local families do to ease the burden and show respect. I reminded her of that gesture, which she was so glad I did, but then asked "Where are we going to get food from in Lahaina?" With such short notice, Panda Express came to mind as I know they do catering. Thing was, do they require a minimum amount of time for catering tray orders? My spouse phoned in, asked questions, and in less than 45 minutes, we left with a half pan of mushroom chicken, half pan of beef broccoli, and half pan of chow mein in hand, complete with heavy duty plastic sporks and a tong for serving, neatly stamped with "Panda Catering" on them. What a nice touch. SERVICE: Phone and in-person service was quick and friendly, something that's evident at many of the PE's I visit. OVERALL: Extremely fast and efficient catering option! So why not a 5? The food is good but not great.

We were out shopping while visiting Maui, and we stopped here. I seldom eat that much fast food, but this was a nice change from the usual burger and fries. It was nice having so many entree options, and it not costing an unreasonable amount of money.

Food is great, but tables are sometimes not super clean. The staff is busy making food so there's noone to really clean up I feel. But the food is great!

When we first ordered food from this specific restaurant we thought the portion and the coldness of the food they served would be different. But after ordering the second and third time it was still the same. The worst one was when we ordered Broccoli Beef and was only served mostly broccoli and three small cuts of meat, have I also mentioned how stale and cold the food was? Never going to order from this location again.

It's like every Panda Express. They make sure not to give you even the tiniest bit if extra food, counting out the shrimp to make sure a spare doesn't slip by. Employees in every Panda Express are always in a bad mood. I've been in several and no matter how hard I've tried to be pleasant and friendly, you never get it in return. Obviously, it doesn't hurt the company so they don't care. Personally, I'd never eat from there. It's my son that likes it and it was for him and went there for.

When I first moved here the food was awesome and the service was spectacular. A true ohana vibe. But now the service sucks, drive through is always closed, doesn’t give sauces, there’s always an attitude and the food is never hot except for the spring rolls. Doesn’t tell you about any up charges, no refills on drinks and no come in an hour before closing they will make so many excuses on why they can not serve. Second time this place has given me food poisoning. Thought maybe it was a mistake the first time so I thought I’d give it another shot. Apparently I was right the first time. Definitely will not eat here again. Do better guys.
