Score

Low Risk

Public records show six inspections at Panda Express stretching back to 2023. On Jul 15, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly five violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “ice buildup in walk-in freezer” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Among Port St. Lucie restaurants, the typical score is 81; Panda Express is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
