Pan asian Express(Foodmania)

A full day of shopping requires sustenance and sadly there is not much choice for real food at the factory outlets. Therefore, we were not expecting too much from the limited choices. However, Pan Asian Express was a very pleasant surprise and the food while simple was delicious and service quick and friendly. We very much enjoyed our soup noodles.

Atmosphere: 4/5 - At the end of the day, this fast-casual restaurant is located inside of the Woodburn Outlets. It's fast-casual nature comes with a minimalistic interior and menu, very much an "enjoy-and-go" vibe.
Food: 5/5 - As with many Asian restaurants, the food is the belle of the ball.
Drinks: 5/5 - Rather surprisingly, Pan Asian Express features a deep menu for drinks, including juice, fountain soda, canned drinks, coffee, and tea.
Service: 4/5 - During peak Outlet dining hours, it can get quite busy and orders may have longer wait times (10-15 minutes). However, the restaurant is clean and was able to field all my requests (extra hot and teriyaki sauce, additional plates and bowls, etc.). There really aren't any further expectations of service above that.

Recommended: Quite honestly, any Teriyaki or Yakisoba dish.

I've tried the Hot & Spicy Chicken and Tofu, Chicken Yakisoba, and Teriyaki Beef on various occasions. Generous portions absolutely packed with flavor left me full and satisfied. The meat was also well-cooked and tender. Interestingly, the restaurant also serves hot dogs and fries. A particular shoutout to the Garlic Lover Hot Dog, which comes with grilled chunks of fresh garlic, and a delight to anyone looking for a savory treat. Overall, this place is my go-to during my visits to Woodburn and I've yet to be disappointed.

Don't forget to try the house-made hot sauce! For those with spice tolerance, it elevates every dish.

Convenient location especially you do not want to leave the outlet. The food is OK. The service is just so-so. It is pretty much self serve anyway. Don't expect too much except save you time.
