Everyone's reviews (high or low) are pretty spot on. It ultimately depends on your own definition of "fresh" and how much weight you give to the things you value most. If "fresh" means to you "not premade, canned dried, frozen or spoiled," then yeah, it's fresh. If you are only considering "fresh" as recently made or "hot off the grill", then you are rolling the dice, and your timing is everything. This is a cafeteria-style place, like a Panda Express. Fresh dishes will be made and left in the luke-warm warmers. Our timing wasn't great, so the broccoli for example, was almost out, not good and quite overcooked, as was the tofu. The coconut rice, green beans, sweet potatoes, and steak were good. Agree with others' reviews of the mac and cheese. They add a loose alfredo-like sauce over pre-cooked noodles. The sauce had just came out for us, so it was hot, but even then it had little to no flavor. The sauce choice was fun. The cilantro vinaigrette tasted as expected. Yes, the portions of each are on the smaller side, but no different than most places like this. The cost is what I'd expect, starter bowls ranging from ($9.99-$11.99). The extras can add up. A McD's combo meal is just as much or more. The service was great! Everyone was helpful and friendly. May try again in the future when driving through and not in the mood for Panda.
