Panda Express

This Panda Express, situated at 40820 Winchester Rd within the Promenade Temecula mall in Temecula, California, offers familiar American-Chinese fast food. As part of a well-known chain of Chinese Restaurants, this location aims to provide quick and convenient meals to shoppers and mall visitors.

Many customers find this Panda Express to be consistent with the brand's other locations, which is often seen as a positive attribute. Contrary to the perception that mall food court restaurants might have lower quality, some reviewers have found the food and service at this location to be on par with standalone restaurants. Specific dishes like the Chow Mein (rated 9/10 for being tasty and freshly made) and the Kung Pao Chicken (rated 9/10 for a good balance of meat and vegetables) have been well-received.

The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the mall, near the Round 1 arcade. Customers have noted that the workers are generally nice. While the line can sometimes be long, it tends to move at a relatively quick pace, which minimizes the inconvenience of waiting. For some, this Panda Express is a favorite choice within the mall's food court.

However, a significant negative review raises serious concerns about food safety. A customer reported that their son experienced a severe allergic reaction after eating shrimp purchased on Saturday, April 5th. They described the shrimp as being in poor condition and attributed their son's subsequent three days of allergy symptoms, vomiting, and diarrhea to the restaurant's food quality. This incident highlights a critical need for careful food handling and quality control to prevent such occurrences.

In conclusion, while some customers appreciate the consistent food quality and friendly service at this Panda Express in Promenade Temecula, a recent report of a serious food allergy due to potentially poor quality shrimp should give potential customers pause and emphasizes the importance of food safety practices.
