Recent customer feedback paints a concerning picture of the service and food quality at this particular Panda Express location. Multiple reviewers reported issues with receiving incorrect food items, underfilled portions, and a lack of necessary condiments.

Another significant concern raised by multiple reviewers is the unprofessional and rude behavior of the staff. Employees were reportedly more focused on personal conversations with other customers than on properly fulfilling orders, leading to errors such as serving the wrong dish, omitting sauces, and preparing food sloppily. One customer also reported their chicken teriyaki being dry and lacking sauce due to the server's inattentiveness.
Furthermore, there are complaints about very small food portions and a decline in food flavor since the pandemic. One particularly disturbing review mentioned finding a long hair in the orange chicken, leading to extreme disgust. The overall sentiment expressed in the recent reviews is overwhelmingly negative, with customers citing poor customer service, incorrect orders, subpar food quality, and inadequate portion sizes.
Based on this recent and consistent negative feedback, potential customers should be aware of the serious issues reported at this Panda Express location in the Gateway Towne Center regarding food quality, portion sizes, and customer service.

Customer Reviews
This place is the worst Panda Express I’ve encountered. I paid $12 for a medium side of honey walnut shrimp, to which they gave me a half empty container. When I asked the workers to fill it up, they lied to my face claiming the shrimp medium side came with 14 pieces. I’ve never seen a panda worker counting shrimp when I order them. And to make matters worse I got home and counted only 12 shrimp. The fact that I had to go home and count the shrimp was ridiculous. Extremely poor customer service skills. Also, my trays of food were very sloppy because the server was too busy talking to her friend that was in line behind me instead of doing her job. I was ripped off on my shrimp side. I was not provided the full amount of shrimp that they claimed was supposed to be there, and when I asked them to fill it up, they didn’t care and wanted to turn me away. The real issue is that their lack of foresight to know how much shrimp to have on hand, because I was shorted shrimp, so that they can leave one serving left in the tray in case somebody else asked for it a.k.a. the kitchen had fallen behind, and had not cooked enough shrimp. The shrimp was soggy and not Panda Express quality. I’m also still waiting for corporate to get back to me because I deserve to be compensated for this lack of food that I had paid for and no I will not be coming all the way back to this Compton location I was in the middle of a move and now no longer anywhere near here. Another issue is I ordered chicken teriyaki and because the worker was talking to the lady in line behind me, instead of doing her job, my chicken was dry with no teriyaki sauce on it at all. Furthermore, I ordered wontons and I receive no sweet-and-sour sauce. All this location cared about was taking my money and shooing me along. In addition, there was another issue that I asked for Beijing beef and she scooped string bean chicken into my plate and when I told her that’s not Beijing beef, she was so confused had no idea what I was talking about and then just scraped out string bean chicken from the train instead of serving me a new tray like she should have because she put the wrong item in it. so unprofessional and again it’s because she was so busy talking to the girl behind me that she personally knew. she’s on the clock and should not be having personal conversations while she’s working because all it did was make me have a very poor experience. Rude workers who care more about chit chatting with their friends and making up fake rules about counting shrimp. You guys are not doing your job because I as the customer already expressed that I was unhappy with the quality and quantity of my shrimp having to go home and count it is horrible. Leaving customers. Dissatisfied is a no for me. Especially at the crazy price of $12 for a medium side. And don’t be confused by the image below some of these were so soggy that the shrimp came out of the honey walnut batter, so it looks like it’s more shrimp than what it actually is. I know how to count but the workers don’t.
This place was doing pretty good. After the pandemic, this is the best place for the following: - VERY small food portions - Long waits - Food with NO Flavor - Rude employees. I don’t usually write reviews, bad service, I’ll let it go. Ridiculous small portions, I’ll let it go, but this time, inside my orange chicken, “A LONG HAIR!!!”, yeah, this is unacceptable. I’m disgusted to even explain. My fingers in my mouth to get the hair out. So, one star, but actually it’s a negative 5. Location: Gateway Towne Center
I waited almost 10minutes to get my food (they were out) just got home and the portions on this plate are a joke. Idk what happened to my string bean chicken - by far the worst location I’ve been to. The only good outcome was the food being fresh since I had to wait for it be done.
I placed an order online with an expected ready time. I arrived at the time and my order was not ready. I understand it may have gotten busy, or they could even be short staff. My order was ready 18 minutes after the stated time. The staff said hello when I arrived and asked my name. I was not acknowledged by staff until I was handed my order 18 minutes late. The taste of the food was terrible. Nothing had flavor. The chow mein tasted the same as the fried rice, which was flavorless. I requested sauces that I did not receive, and my fried rice had large chunks of egg. I don't have an issue with eggs, but I wasn't expecting breakfast size pieces.
Wow , bad experience… orange chicken bad kum pao bad ,show mein bad and bad services ask for large strawberry water and say is not large drink for strawberry there wow … please make good decisions for your kids and family until them do better quality food thank you
