The girl with winged eyeliner was handling the register. She was super rude. I spent around $20 something there and I asked if I can have 2 fortune cookies, because I have two kids. They are always excited about fortune cookies and this is the reason they wanted me to buy panda today as well. She gave me 1 and when I asked if .. I can have one more. She started giving me so much attitude. Well, I was …still ….very polite. Then I asked her if I can have 2 small packets of hot sauce and soya sauce because I bought chowmein. She confirmed with me about which ones I want (rudely). And when I reached home, I checked… she put sweet and sour packet on purpose. Even after confirming ….she did that. One thing I don’t understand, if u don’t want to work then don’t work. Really poor customer service by that winged eye girl medium height. She was rude to other people in line as well. My family always buy dinner or lunch from panda at least twice a week. Every week we give 200$ business to panda. But we will not go there anymore. At least …..until…. She is there. We don’t want to feel disrespected.

Restaurant encourages you to “skip the line” by ordering on mobile, which I did. I arrived and waited for 20 minutes after the estimate “pickup time”. Tried to step up to ask for my order and was just ignored. Proceeded to receive cold food that was missing an entire entree. I try to give the benefit of the doubt to places like this, especially considering how busy it is, but this was ridiculous. Do yourself a favor and go to the Chinese food places that actually care. I never leave reviews and this was infuriating enough to warrant one.

Welcoming environment with very friendly staff workers. The food tasted, filling, warm, and smelled delicious. The seats are nice and comfortable. But when I came there was still some food scattered along the table whoch was kind of disgusting. Bathrooms are clean. Definitely recommend this place!

Kind staff and fresh food when I went. Most importantly, they have sweetfire chicken!!! Please never get rid of this perfect entree! Southern california is so sad without it.

Food was awful. This location has been bad every time I have tried it. I try about once a year, hoping it will improve to no avail. They also dont have hot mustard, which is tragic.

Well, I was expecting streamlined delicious meal at panda express, orange chicken, rice, beef, and broccoli. The worms when I showed up to the panda express on Mission Street in Santa Cruz, I was completely let down. The first thing that I noticed when I walked in the door, but the fact that there is nearly no food options available now well, it was close to closing, I still found quite a new frustrating when the employee insisted that my friend Haider got white rice, Cardoso but things got much sisters I pay for something in the restaurant I expect to particulars I expect to come as it was 10 however when I was at this panda express, that was not the case. When I ordered a bigger place to come through on a long one side, I was not serve the proper precautions I was charged more than I Drugs employee one question about why he didn’t give me extra entrée on the side has a bigger. Please send it to put the extra orange chicken inside of the box and that if I wanted him to separate the meat out into another container from my box, he could do that used to acknowledge that he had served me less than he should have disgruntled. I paid the amount due for a bigger plane and left the store absent in selection end in food service.

Heres a tip: Focus on the customer in front of you.Food was ok, normal Panda Express. But chinzy portion sizes and disinterested - almost rude - staff means I wont be coming back and NO, I do not recommend this location.2-3pm rainy Saturday afternoon. Youd think it would be quiet. But like me, perhaps there were other people wanting to get out of the house/hotel and made a trip - specifically - to get some Panda. The dining area was about 1/4 full, a constant line of 2-3 customers. So, the 3 people working were busy, but not slammed at all.Tip #2: Even though I seem to order pretty much the same thing as the previous two people in line.. I am not them.And dont get me started on the cashier - who clearly needs to not only work on her ESL skills, but stop mumbliing so loud the customer can hear, but not loud (or clearly enough) to completely understand. And if a customer asks for some sauces - in my case I asked for 5, because... I use 5 of each to go with all of the items I order - dont just grab a couple, dump them in the bag and walk away.So now I had sauce for SOME of my chicken, ONE of my spring rolls, but none for the rest or for my 3rd side of Orange chicken.Finally. I have NEVER been dismissed so thoroughly or casually in my life! Not even at any of the DMVs Ive visited over the years.And no fortune cookie? Who doesnt get a fortune cookie???Apparently the people who want extra sauces and who says No after asking you to repeat the mumbled Do you want to support ~mumble, mumble~ cause? dont get a cookie.No, I wont be returning here.No, I dont recommend.

After taking a super long time to make my order, which I can understand since it was busy, they forgot parts of my order. I of course didnt realize this until I drove all the way home and was missing my food. When I got back to the store I asked if I could get a free egg role or something since at this point I had waited for my order for about an hour and I had spent about 40 minutes driving back and fourth for my food. They of course didnt give me a free egg roll and just left me with a hungry stomach and an empty tank of gas.

Chinches on portions!!! 41st ave is way better!!! I got my food Togo and had to go back in to complain about 3 pieces of orange chicken on my combo plate. I wont return. 41st ave location gives you so much more

The workers here always get online orders wrong for delivery. Its happened 4 times now where the delivery is completely wrong, yet the receipt clearly states the order. Not sure if its just stupidity or plain disregard. Dont order delivery from this location.

I am upset with these folks. I have eaten here many times over the years and never had a problem, but I did today. I ordered iced tea to go with my meal. At the drink stand, the tea was obviously just water. An employee was standing there cleaning up. I told and showed him the problem. He said he would tell them and it would soon be fixed. My wife and I ate our meals. When we had finished and there was still no tea, I went to the register and asked for my money back for the tea. That simple request had to be kicked up to a supervisor. The supervisor was highly suspicious. I showed her that water was coming from the tea urn. She then checked the paper cup to make sure we had not substituted another beverage. After all that, she still refused to give us a refund. She offered me a bottled orange juice, which was not of much utility after the meal. I took it, being certain I would get no other satisfaction. Turned out the oj actually cost less than the tea. I felt both cheated and insulted. It would have been so easy and so appropriate just to refund the money I had paid for a product I did not receive. The true character of a business only shows up when something unexpected goes wrong. This particular Panda Express and its supervisor could easily have done the right thing but chose not to. Shame on them.

I ordered Kong pao chicken and wok shrimp, but the server gave me someone else’s plate. I just found out this at home and too far away to drive back to Panda Express. Bad experience!!

The girl at the counter last night copped a major attitude, after I declined donating. This is a major scam! The money goes to their own charity, Panda Cares. No mention of St. Judes on Panda Express website. It ruined my dinner with the person I was spending time with. And has always bothered me since I first went to Panda. Its unacceptable to be treated so rudely!

Customer service was great the manager I believe was very helpful and on point with getting there line down. However the chef that was there cooking in the back Idk if he has been there or just taking over the food sucked. When I go to pandas anywhere there should be a consistent product like in-n-out.

Horrible experience! 2 staff memebers have issues with customers service. I asked Richard if he could pay for the person behind me food just to be kind. His response was to roll his eyes and give me attitude telling me he doesnt know what he order. He simply could just looked and I would have been on my way. I told him nevermind once he made an issue about it and also said that his attitude wasnt needed whenever someone is trying to do something nice. His smart remark was to tell me to cheer up. I let it go, but after waiting for 20 minutes for food that be was suppose to be in 10 minutes which still wasnt so I asked for a refund so I could go back to work. The manager name Jesus didnt want to give me a refund because there was nothing wrong with the food. The issue is I never received any food and was going to be late for work. He still refused to give me my money back so I asked for corporates number and he refused to give that me also. I wasnt yelling or acting crazy I just wanted to leave with my money since I couldnt leave with the food since it wasnt ready yet. Horrible manager skills. Overall I had to leave without my food and no refund. The manager Jesus stole my money and had me leave without my food. I would not go back there.

This location is generally great. They make great food, especially during mid shift hours. They tend to open doors a minute or two early, which I think is admirable. Always kind. This is a tip top location

This Panda Express needs a face lift. Staff was ok but not professional. One side dish of my order was not finished and I had to wait for 10 mins. That was wouldn’t have bothered me but the rest of the food in the box was just sitting in there for 10 mins getting cold, I did not feel well for hours after having that meal.

I came thousands of miles away to visit California, and Santa Cruz was a stop along the way. I was quite hungry, so I decided to stop at the Panda Express on Mission Street in Santa Cruz, California. A worker there decided to be rude (her name I cannot recall at the moment) and Jacob, another employee was exceptionally dismissive and forgetful with orders. Jacob in specific would constantly be going back and forth, checking the other customers boxes, and then preceded to check the same boxes of food again 3-5 times over... I have seen countless reviews for this specific Panda Express exclaiming the same situations: rude employees and terrible service (not to mention the burnt food: the fried rice and cream cheese rangoons I received today). As the cherry on top, if you will, the servings they provided are strangely low. How is a grown person supposed to get their fill when the employees give so little food? Anyways, TLDR: please consider (and reconsider) your food options for trips and residents of California when you think of the Mission St., Santa Cruz Panda Express.Edit: Another female employee, as my partner recalled, was playing with her nose before going back to cooking. She didnt even bother applying Germ X or soap. Cannot have had a better experience 🙃.

The elder lady that works there in the mid mornings most days was so rude. I dont know what I did to make her treat me in such a way because she was nice to everyone else. My coworkers got thier food and were already done eating by the time she got my order. I asked for soy sauce and she tossed two packets at me. Chill lady what did I do to you?

Maybe 41st is better now?Ordered thru the app for the first time. Disappointed at the lack of attention. No sauces, utensils or napkins as requested. Even ignored me while waiting. The floor design is terrible, no space for waiting for pickup orders, paper straws are on the wrong side of the soda machine for flow.Now for the food. Noodles were obviously burnt, and only 2 shreds of beef were in my broccoli. Plenty of orange chicken tho.This place needs people who care about retaining customers.

Review №22

2021-03-15 21:25:44

The foods good, like any other Panda Express, but the service is horrible. Ive been in line with 3 people in front of me and it took 20 minutes until I was finally able to order. Once I ordered the cashier didnt listen and didnt charge me correctly and I just left not wanting to deal with them again. This was not an individual instance either, Ive been here multiple times with short lines but it takes forever. The organization of the workers and their ability to efficiently cook and serve are just not good.Edit: I gave them another chance and ordered online but they neglected to give me teriyaki chicken, they just gave the chicken and no sauce.

I dont understand businesses new motto of asking you can they round up your change so they can give you green money back! This happened to me the other day over at this location when my bill was $14.06 the worker asked me if he could round it up I said what do you mean round it up dont you mean round it down? They then came up with the excuse of the donation is for the children.I dont care who the donations for because aint nobody getting no donation from me unless I want to give it up. So watch out people businesses are trying to get richer off of you !!!Another notorious place is McDonalds for trying this.

I’ve gone here three times and during the middle of the day - so not closing time - so I don’t understand why food is always out and you have to wait up to 20 minutes for chicken teriyaki. Each time. The manager needs to learn how to time the cooking because it’s clear he/she/they/it is failing. Other pandas may have bad customer service but not having food ready is even worse!!! UPDATE - today I went earlier around 12:30ish and the crew was great, the manager was serving and they were out of veggies when it was my turn. She immediately cooked some herself and was ready in less than 5 mins. And the cashier was very prompt and friendly. Changed stars to 4!

Completely disgusting!! The chow main was super dry, the white rice was so hard I thought I was chewing on rocks, I had to spit it out before I hurt my teeth. In the mix was a hair that I ended up putting in my mouth and almost choking, nearly gaging it out. I feel sick to my stomach. The worst panda express from all panda express restrictions I have tried.Last time I had this place was more than a year! I got food poisoning to an extreme, and usually I never do from most restaurants.BEWARE!!!WORST EVER....Dangerous to eat, and taste horrible. I had gone a year before, came back thinking they had improved... big mistake. Go to any other panda or anywhere else for food.

Chinese America food, so if you are looking for authenticity, this is not it. But it is made for the American pallet. Generally cheaper than real sit restaurants so it is good for a quick bite. Although the parking lot is huge, getting in and out can be problematic because of yhe traffic at this location.

Ordered teriyaki chicken with no teriyaki sauce. Waited for chicken orange and teriyaki for 10 mins, long line was waiting. One cook, 1 cashier, 1 scooper. The food portion was not ok. Bad experience, maybe just the crew this day.

I was at Mission Panda last night 16 april 1 day before Easter, I got the plate with 3 items, the older white cashier was very stiff with the servings literally he just fill them up verily, he told me there was nothing but was it was left there, so not much to have but old food, I pay he told me my card was denied when literally I know I gave money on it, I hand it him another card he charge me, I left feeling worried about my card I arrived to my work, I called my bank as I was sure I have money thousands I mean, the dude charge me TWICE for the same meal in a different card and of course he never offer me at RECEIPT NEITHER or put in the bag, I think they do this to people when we are in a hurry, ne never pick up the phone when I called; literally a Thief and a lier I told him I have money he said it doesnt go through, so today Im going to talk to their manager and today its Easter I think they might be doing to people when in a hurry and in holidays, watch out people get a receipt always and do but before close it was awful

Context:-Havent thrown up or gotten food poisoning in roughly 10 years-Had breakfast last morning and panda express for lunchI came home and threw up a total of 5 times throughout the night. Worst food poisoning Ive ever had in my life. Friend of mine ate with me and she said she felt nauseous the same night before I told her I got food poisoning.I would not risk eating here

Very small serving size. Held back servings compared to all other panda locations. Not worth the money when ending up with 3 orange chicken pieces for lunch.... 41st location is much better...

One of the worst Panda Expresses you can go too.. unfortunately they don’t inform you about anything, it took my fiancé and I almost 30 minutes to get one bowl and one kids meal..... I have also personally received food poisoning from this restaurant because of the food being left out at room temperature for hours.. The attitude of the employees is also very unprofessional and RUDE. I do not recommend coming here at all.

2018-05-22 20:15:34

Orange chicken is the only reason I ever come here. I mean it is the most popular menu item. So I have all the right to be upset when the chicken is majority crust and breading. And they give SUCH less chow mein and chicken here. I have never had a more measly portion at any other Panda Express. And when I asked the girl working if I could have some more food because she really did not give me a proper scoop, she gave me an eye roll and said nothing. I will not be going back.

Review №42

2017-02-09 07:36:43

The employees are busting their butts and doing a good job. Only 3 people working during dinner time on a Wednesday night. Youd think the manager would schedule more people. Nonetheless, the employees delivered. But they did seem stressed (yet friendly), which isnt their fault, considering their situation.

Kat :) was very friendly even when it was extremely busy. Ive been to whole lot of panda express in the bay area (Im not from San Cruz), however this place is the best! 10/10 Foold tastes unique, original and delicious.

Panda Express offers American-style Chinese food thats tasty and fast. I personally get fried rice and string bean chicken, which clocks in at fewer than half the calories of their famous orange chicken and is still delicious. This location looks great inside and the staff are usually pretty friendly. The store offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

You cannot go inside anymore. you walk up to the door and they take your order there. then you walk to the exit and wait for your food. admittedly, the service was very fast for such a long line and they got our food correct and it was piping hot. Thanks!

Never order from here online they will only help the instore people and ignore those who are waiting for their food thats already been ordered over 30-45 minutes priorPoorly ran as far as staff goes this place could do better.

Mm. Nothing like a hard rock in the stomach to help you forget about eating for a few hours. Great pot stickers. Seriously. Burp and blow it in a loved ones face. Their expression will be PRICELESS. But be prepared to get hit cause it is potential enough to piss them OFF.

I say its only ok because it seems they are constantly waiting to replenish the items and you have to stand around waiting for food to be ready. The food itself is awesome and for a great price.

Food here is what you expect from a Panda, but what makes this place better than others of the chain is the employees. Ive come here with 15 minutes until closing time, where theyre out of a lot of stuff and if they have the ingredients set up, theyll make what I wanted to order.

Every single time I come in at 1030 for my lunch nothing is ready. Im going on 20 minutes waiting for chow mein. They should just open at 11am since they are never ready at 1030. Now I have to go back to work without eating. So frustrating

Had lunch here on the way from San Francisco to Monterey. The taste is not bad, and it is always good to have Chinese fast food when traveling. I also relied on it to save my life last time when I visited San Diego. It happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there was a sticker on the door of the store saying Happy New Year, Wish You Good Fortune in Chinese.
