Panda Express

This is just another average Panda Express, but there was only one person in front of us and my boyfriend and I waited kind of a long time for our turn. We had to wait 10 mins for more orange chicken and black pepper chicken, which sucks when it’s «fast food», but the workers were really nice and gave us free drinks while we waited.

I usually come to this panda a lot but today it was really bad service and food.
I was really looking forward to get orange chicken and when I get there it is all dry looking I asked the girl if I can get a side of the sauce or something and do
She said no they only use it in the batch, I said it looks really dry and not like it normally does and she said I know it does but I don’t know… really Cynthia V.
I’m sure they could have spared some orange chicken sauce… very disappointed in this panda

The server tonight was rude my granddaughter wanted to try fried shrimp she said she couldn’t try that one so I asked her to give it to me as a side order, we get home and the shrimp are over fried she couldn’t even bite it! hard as a rock!

Bad service. they ran out of noodles and took 15 mins to make more while a folks waited. Bad planning to run out on Valentine’s Day. They asked if I’d like something while I waited and then charged me for it!

People please stay away from this place unless your Chinese or a foreigner. I’m Latino and I got treated badly since I complained their vegetables look old. Not just that since I grabbed my own water cup the lady told me next time she will charge me for a water cup can you believe these people. Stay away please

I walked in tonight at 9:00 and the woman behind the counter has been telling me everyone for who knows how long «that’s all we have». I get the concept of waste count, but this place is packed with people and they aren’t making any food in the back for even the popular items. Kitchen staff must be lazy or the manager just doesn’t want to deal with making more food an hour before close.
As I was sitting with my limited choice of food on my plate, a woman came up to the counter and was annoyed that the phone was off the hook and she couldn’t order what she wanted.
Less than 5 minutes later more than 4 customers left because there’s no choice left for food options. Now another 2. And I’m sure there’s going to be more people leaving upset because there’s nothing decent in choice for them.
I’m definitely not coming to this Panda ever again. Thoroughly upsetting to be treated as such.

There food is so — so but the customer service is great! They are helpful.

So good but so bad… so bad. So delicious. Sigh. I’m happy they let me get half veggies for my side instead of just lots of other sodium-​loaded things I like.

I love eating Chinese and especially at Panda express. You get an option to pick both the fried rice and the chow mein in your box and they are fine with giving you 1 type of food in both sides. during weekends it gets crowded but you can get your order in less than 15minutes. The staff are friendly and patient even when it gets extremely busy. I love the mushroom chicken here and it always feels nice to see the fortune cookie with the food.

Honestly, this place is for if you want quick cheap food. The food is good but not great. If you want quality Chinese don’t come to panda. Come here if you don’t care about what you eat.

PE is in no way real Chinese food, but when you’re «hangry» (hungry + angry) and tired of burgers, PE is a fast, decent option. You walk in and order cafeteria line style. You can order a la carte or go for one of their Panda Bowls (one entrée over rice or chow mein) or two/​three entrée plates.
Today I opted for a two entrée plate ($ 6.70) with teriyaki chicken and kung pao chicken with half chow mein and half fried rice. The teriyaki chix here is good — they actually slice up the grilled chicken to order and ask you if you want the sauce on top or on the side. The chix itself is nice — moist with a good ginger and garlic flavor. The sauce is ok, but a little too sweet for my liking (I get it on the side to control that sweetness). The kung pao chix was tasty as well. Chix pieces in a spicy sauce with zucchini, onions, red bell peppers and peanuts. Their chow mein noodles and fried rice are always just meh — both on the dry side and not very flavorful. Basically just carbs to eat with your entrees.
All in all fine as fast food goes. It’s a nice change-​up from standard fast food fare.
Tip: If you take some time and complete their online survey, you get a code that gives you a free small entrée with your next plate on a future visit.

Panda anda me! Anda you, too! Even you, bro!
When I want something hot, fast & fresh, I head to Spearmint Rhino. Oops, uh, er, sorry, Freudian slip. What I meant to say was I head to Panda Express.
Broccoli beef, green bean chicken, eggplant tofu & Beijing beef — those are the usual suspects for me. I whip out my receipt w/​the code, entitling me to a free entrée to go along with my 2-​item combo w/​fried rice and it’s chowtime.
I was a little perturbed when Panda Express replaced fried white rice w/​fried brown rice awhile ago, but I’m glad the big muckamucks saw the error of their ways and brought back the OG fried rice. Yeah, brown rice has fiber, but it also has phytins, which are antinutrients. Phytins block the absorbtion of nutrients in the GI tract, causing leaky gut syndrome.
This Panda Express location has always been clean & and very convenient for me, due to it’s close proximity. The staff during my latest visit were especially friendly from start to finish. They even obliged me when I ask for more rice and extra fortune cookies. Because having one fortune just isn’t enough ;p
The line usually goes by quick & I’m in n’ out in no time. Tables & stool seating for those looking to dine in. Parking is located at the Cerritos Promenade, which can be hard to come by. I suggest parking near Island Pacific to find a spot.
Located very closeby, there is another Panda Express across the street in the Los Cerritos Center. But, for some reason, the food doesn’t taste the same. When I want Panda, I go here.
Not a date spot, not a hoity toity white tablecloth restaurant, Panda Express is one of my favorite places to go for a quick meal that I don’t feel bad about eating.
The World Wildlife Fund would approve ;p
Recommend!

I usually come here from time to time and the food is pretty good, I usually get the chow mein with beef broccoli and mixed veggies and it’s pretty good. The service is nice as well so I’d you want a quick lunch here is a good place to do so!

Their food quality is typical panda express but the amount of food is about half of size compare to other panda express. Go some other panda express to get proper amount with same money.

I wanted to have a quick dinner, so we went to this plaza since we both knew of some quick places to eat here. I was thinking of eating somewhere else, but we ended up eating here. The lady welcomed us and I ordered my ‘default’ Panda Bowl with Chow Mein and Orange Chicken. It tasted good as expected. The place looks nice and clean.

This was my first time at Panda Express. I had no idea what to expect but I did hear the food was good so I decided to check it out. I ordered the family feast which is two large side orders and three large entrees for 30 dollars. not bad! I got mushroom chicken, orange chicken and broccoli beef. I had tried orange chicken at a few other places but once I bit into The Orange Chicken from Panda Express I was in love. this was gourmet stuff. absolutely delicious! The rest of the dishes were as delicious. service was fast and friendly. I even got fortune cookies with a good fortune too… thanks guys!

This is one of my favorite spots I love everything here and they have great costumer service please stop this place.

Craving for some orange chicken close to Cerritos, so I stopped by a relatively busy plaza across the Los Cerritos mall. The service was not bad, however I happened to be in there when there was only one server and one cashier so the line was kinda long. In fairness to the server, who is a male, he tried to be fast and efficient.
Kudos to him. Unfortunately, he didn’t anticipate the several number of people coming in.
By the time it was my turn, finally, some help came. Ordered my bowl of steamed brown rice with orange chicken. Yummy!!! Cooked fresh and right off the wok! Perfect timing! But since they were busy, the cashier kinda messed up my order. She picked up my order and placed it in one of the customers but I wasn’t fast enough to say, «hey lady, that’s my order!» There was another bowl of orange chicken beside it so I just asked the server to check if the bowl
had brown vs white rice. It was white so he gave me another fresh bowl. They were pretty apologetic and accommodating so I had to commend them for that. Panda express has the best orange chicken ever! I
am half chinese and tried other orange chicken but Panda seemed to produce the crunchiest orange chicken bites! Love it!

This is my regular Panda. And like any typical Panda express, there are zero Chinese workers. It’s ok though! the workers are still really nice.
You will be offered a free sample. If I were you, I’d try a shrimp entrée since it costs a buck more.
You will be offered a drink. Say no and drink water cause it’s healthy. Soda doesn’t really go well with Chinese food anyway.
No, Panda Express isn’t fake Chinese food. It’s evolved Chinese food.

What the hell? Karey R. is giving a Panda Express 4 stars? Revoke her Elite status immediately! Un-​invite her to the next pastrami crawl! Slap her upside the head with a Panvimarn menu! I know… I know… it’s Panda Express. So here is my explanation: Of all the Panda Expresses I have eaten at, this one is the one I would chose to return to. That’s it. It’s a good Panda Express. Now, if I were to rate this against Fortune Cookies or Panvimarn it would get a –1, yes… a negative one. But, it’s a Panda Express and a good Panda Express. I would have given it 5 stars but it doesn’t have a drive thru and I would really dig a drive thru Panda Express, especially when both kids are asleep in the back of the car. So if you have to go to a Panda Express, I would suggest this one. It’s about $ 8 a person with a drink. I suggest the chow mien over the fried rice.
P.S
Please don’t take away my status.
