About Panda Express

Panda Express, located on Garnet Avenue in San Diego, is a well-known Chinese restaurant chain offering a variety of familiar American-Chinese fast food dishes. This particular location provides both in-restaurant service and catering options for the local community.

One notable feature highlighted in a customer review is the restaurant's ability to handle a large, last-minute catering order for a wedding. Despite the unexpected nature of the order placed through their mobile app, the staff at this Panda Express location reportedly accommodated the request efficiently on the day of the event, providing necessary items like plates and utensils and facilitating easy pick-up. The reviewer specifically praised their popular orange chicken, noting it was a hit among guests.

In terms of services, this location offers both standard fast-food service for individual meals and catering for larger events. The positive catering experience suggests a willingness to go the extra mile for customers, even under challenging circumstances. The availability of a mobile app for ordering is also a convenient service feature.

The reviews provide mixed feedback regarding the current environment and food quality. While one customer had a very positive experience with a large catering order, another recent review (date unspecified) expresses concern about decreasing food servings and a perceived reduction in the amount of main ingredients in dishes, alongside rising prices. This suggests a potential shift in the restaurant's value proposition over time.

Currently, no specific promotional information is mentioned in the provided reviews. However, the instance of successful last-minute wedding catering could be seen as an example of their service capabilities for events. Local users considering Panda Express on Garnet Avenue should be aware of the contrasting recent feedback regarding portion sizes and pricing when making their dining decisions.

It was December 4, 2024 and my wedding was to be December 5, the very next day. The caterer my husband and I picked fell through and we were left with less than 24 hours to figure out what we could do. We went over the possible restaurants which could help us with catering without breaking our now non-existent budget since we had not yet gotten our refund from our previous caterer and will not for the next seven days. My husband suggested Panda Express catering, at this location, since it was very close to our wedding venue, and we love the food. We ordered the food after hours on the Panda Express mobile App, which was very stressful because the poor workers were not aware of such a huge order ahead of time. I can only imagine the looks on their faces and curses uttered when the employees went into work that day, December 5, 2024, only to see a catering order to be placed. I have had many times when I say, "I should have called out," and I would not blame the employees if that was what was said. The morning of, however, there were no problems or complaints from the employees when they called my husband to ask what accommodations we needed (plates, forks, chopsticks, napkins, etc), and when my husband informed them of the family members who will be picking up the catering, the employees made it easy. So, to everyone who made my wedding day an easy process, for coming through for my husband and I on the most important day of our lives, THANK YOU!!! The only issue was, I should have listened to my husband and ordered more orange chicken because those dishes went FAST!! Thank you so much again!!!

They have become very stingy with the food servings. I ordered the bigger plate and my plate was so light even the chow main was half full and the beef broccoli was only broccoli couldn’t find one piece of beef. The prices have gone up and the servings are way smaller.

The food was pretty good but the guy that helped me seemed mysoginistic or intimidated. He didn’t seem to know his menu very well and seemed upset when i corrected him. Back of house is pretty kind.
