Panda Express

I walk in at 8:40 with nothing but empty food trays with a little sign that says “if you don’t see your food choice just ask and we will kindly make it” and the first thing I’m greeted by is “all you see is what we have right now”. I get you close in 20 minutes but that’s kind of crazy to say at a big place like Panda Express. So I ask if I can get orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp, the lady then walks over to a old man cooking and says to cook the items, definitely the old man is pissed he’s being asked to cook food during working hours because he stood there in silence looking at her then slowly turned to go cook while throwing bowls and trays down. I always get the cream cheese ragoons but I felt bad even asking for him to cook those too. I went ahead and paid and patiently waited, was kind during the whole process and even wised everyone a good night on the way out. Upon going home and taking the first bite of chicken it was very raw! (See photo) Seriously how is this even okay? Management is obviously not watching the staff until close and can’t follow simple heath code. Me and my girlfriend could have been very sick from this, not to mention he was not wearing gloves so I’m sure the raw chicken was not handled well at all. I shouldn’t have to feel like a burden for ordering for and especially afraid to eat at this location again. Please have something done!

I love Panda Express as much as the next guy, but as I’m absolutely destroying my plate, I notice something on my noods. I notice that there’s some kind of paper material stuck to it. At first, i thought maybe I had dropped some straw wrapper in my food, & thought nothing of it. But as I continued eating, I noticed another noodle with paper on it. Come to find out, the packaging of the meal was peeling due to the heat of the meal. The chow mein had come out fresh, so I know it was pretty warm. I hope someone at panda that can make a difference WILL because I don’t feel particularly good when I’m eating paper at one of my favorite take out restaurants ): (Sorry if pictures do it justice. Peep nood & packaging)

This is by far the best Panda Express on the coast of CA. As someone who eats panda express nearly everywhere I go, I have to say that this is the only chain who has truly receptive service and will cook a fresh batch of Beijing Beef if the bowl is near empty. (Only do this during non-rush hours please) They are polite and attentive and the staff is always on top of their service.

Panda held a fundraiser for my grandkids school and we ordered dinner for the house. It was ready very quickly for pickup and it was delicious! Thank you Panda Express for providing such great service, food and the opportunity to help the school PTA.

not the best experience. the service was okay, and the interior was clean. but the servings were tiny & the chow mein was under seasoned. the food wasn’t impressive in my opinion.
