Panda Express interior
Panda Express #2259 (2,578 square feet)
2031 Coliseum Drive, Peninsula Town Center, Hampton, VA
Opened April 18th, 2014
Hampton's Coliseum Central area is home to one of two Panda Express locations on the Peninsula, this one being the older of the two (Yorktown is the other location). The restaurant seems to follow the same footprint as other standalone purpose-built Panda E's, where the dining room is horizontally spread across the building's right half. The back of the house occupies the back left corner and the ordering/prep counter occupies the front left. Seating consists of upholstered booths/chairs and molded wood laminate chairs, with two circular booths wrapped up in partitions, and a muted color palette is used that compliments the warm lighting quite effectively. The company's Chinese flair seen here is something that I really like about them, which may be a little samey when compared to other locations but gives the chain character that sets them apart from hole-in-the-wall Chinese places.
