Pan Asian Express - Mandalay Bay

We ate at the Mandalay Bay food court this afternoon. We ordered food from different places. A bit pricey, but the portions were good and the taste wasn't bad. Perhaps the common area with the tables could be improved. The place looks a bit run down and has an oppressive atmosphere. Next time, we might try the restaurants in the casino area. That area looks a lot of better inside the casino.

This business is very dishonest because the recipes they serve do not taste anything like the name they carry. I ordered KungPao chicken and Broccoli beef. It is as bland as it can get. I have had kungpao chicken many times and this is the worst variant of it. I doubt they have used diluted sriracha sauce in this. Terrible. The dish costs 27 USD making it feel like daylight robbery. Not sure why they ask for tips (15% by default) while making absolutely zero effort in making the food taste better.

Food was enticing but subpar compared to bigger named chains. Made our stomachs hurt a little bit the next day portion size was a medium effort.

Food was honestly really good. A little pricey like airport pricing but expected and still worth it. Great choices and freshly cooked food!

I have attempted to eat here twice in the past 2 days. First time was at 07:45 and everything was shut down, the lights were off, and there was only 1 worker lingering in the back. Second time was today, at 7 PM. Food clearly in front of us and the first two workers ignored us and the third worker tells us they are closed. When I asked what the hours are because online says they are open, they said they were “slow” so they were closing early. There was clearly food available in front of us and they still stated they were closed. Horrible.
