I eat at Panda Express restaurants about 4 times a week throughput different locations as I work in different cities and I was completely dissatisfied with this location. The food is not what I’m used to from panda. Nothing was cooked correctly today. lol at all the chill is in one serving of kung pao and the veggies were raw. The noddles and rice were over cooked and the grill chicken cold. Then there wasn’t many selections and I told her it was fir fine in and she just hands me all my items without a tray. I tried to use the restroom but a homeless person beat me to it and was in there so long I just left. I won’t be back to this panda again. Corporate needs to come check this place.

Pretty cool that they a WIFI for everyone! A little pricey for a bowl and a side of apple pie dessert: $10.55 ... but, the cashier was friendly and fast. The place had fresh AC, and I got to sit all alone when there wasnt a rush inside.

Who ever is cooking at Panda right now the food is🔥 Fire!! All my food was fresh and well cooked!! Very flavorful, the cook knows what he is doing tonight and the server is serving it up. Thank you.

Received super small portion, compared to the other plates we were ordering. When we mentioned it to the server and asked for another scoop, we were instantly shut down with the excuse of only one scoop per serving...(which is B.S, cause Im literally watching them give 2-3 scoops to everyone ordering right now as I write this!!!) Food is good though definitely horrible customer service, and to top it all off the forgot the fortune cookies, and they argued about those as well... Smh come on Panda, you gotta do better....

The quality of food, service is very bad specially last 2-3 years. We made a mobile order and picked up the food and all 3 plates had wrong food. They asked us to bring the plates back to fix the order. Once they confirmed the order was wrong they tossed the plates. Made my order and this was worst, because when we came home saw the food was dry (like it was sitting their for while). Following day all 3 of us where feeling sick, stomach upset....

Panda Express in Los Banos is losing its touch. This used to be a great place to eat but lately the food portions are smaller, taste is bland and overall flavor is not the same anymore. Noodle are dry, meat is tough and just seem like Panda doesn’t care as much as it used to. This is just my opinion.

Bad service! Ordered food through drive thru. Upon getting my receipt I noticed they charged me twice for a large drink so I told the worker. He asked me if i just wanted another large drink so I said yes thinking it would be faster than requesting to get my money back. He then proceeded to ask me to park. For a drink? I was already at the window! Ridiculous...

The manager is so stingy I asked for extra hot sauce as I bought 2 party trays and 3 extra plates, she gave the look to the staff I felt bad for them.

This place was super busy you just have to check your order before you leave because they usually forget to put the teriyaki sauce in the bag and the soy sauce. They always forget to put our fortune cookies as well.

This location always gives you the wrong entrées and the amount of food they put on the plate is ridiculous seems like the workers are paying for the food 🤦🏻‍♂️Like stack it upp man 😂 They also never give you sauce for your food SPECIALLY when you get chicken teriyaki lol seriously the worst Panda Express I ever been too.

This place honestly always has you wait for food to be made . I was told the rice would be 10 min wait and I said no just give me what you have and I still had to wait at the parking for my order . Order placed via drive through at 3:24 and as I’m writing this review it is 3:37

Went to panda last night, went through the drive through, he stated to pull up front because they didnt have the walnut shrimp ready and it would be a 5 minute wait. Waited for 25 minutes for the food and when I got home it was cold like it had been sitting there for a long time.

This was a very nice place. Clean and the customer service was excellent. The bathroom had old napkins on the floor but besides that it was an awesome place.

2022-09-08 02:01:15

This location is trash, my orders are rarely right, cold, minuscule serving size, or just disgusting. Tonight I had a 30 minute wait on a mobile order that said it was ready at 6, they somehow lost it and when I did get it found a long strip of plastic in my steamed vegetables. Im done, this is just ridiculous.

Manager has no clue ! She was rude Said what you want us to remake it? No sorry, no courtesy at all, horrible customer service!!!Went trough drive thru for a bigger plate chow Mein was dry tasteless no veggies, beyond orange chicken was dry cold, beef broccoli had no flavor seemed like the broccoli was just steamed and thrown in the beef was super salty and old. Manager says want us to remake it I said yes she says it’s gonna be a while for the beef broccoli, I said no problem. They served me the same rice and chow Meir didn’t even make a new one, the orange chicken was the same all cold and tasteless (sauceless). Beef and brocolli was just as bad. Chef that weekend sucked !! When I worked here at this location my fried rice and chow Mein was the best super flavorful. I would even add extra basic sauce to make it extra golden and tasty. Panda just sucks I Guess !

Went in and asked for broccoli beef and all I got was 4 pieces of broccoli and a shred of beef, seriously ridiculous how they go on about serving food on your plates, I asked for broccoli beef, not broccoli mixed in beef sauce, how embarrassing.

Portions are inconsistent across panda stores. This one gave out small portions and the food wasnt that great either. Service was mediocre.

Don’t let the negative reviews stop you from eating here, I’ve been eating here since I moved to Los Banos in 2005, and it’s a great place !!! The food is amazing and tasteful . But since Los Banos has been growing over the years that’s why the wait time is a bit more longer than usual “that’s something to consider when going during lunch time or after school hours “ as it could be busy !! I normally only go to panda when I don’t want to make dinner, around 6:30pm -8pm and I’ve never had any issues ! Love the Beijing beef and mushroom chicken. ! The organ he chicken is always good as well !! I’m actually going right now 🥰

They never have what I want it’s always you’ll have to wait 10-15 minutes. I went yesterday 11/19/22 ask for grilled chicken wait 10 minutes so I said nevermind I will have walnut shrimp they said oh that’s 15 minutes wait also. Bad service never have anything ready. Knowing it’s a drive thru.

Made me sit outside for 30 minutes, waiting for the food I ordered in the drive through. Went inside and they apologized saying that they havent even started Making my food. They started and it took less then 5 minutes to cook it. Plus food is honestly trash. 2/5 cause they apologized.

The employees are so rude. We went a few months ago to drive thru and we asked for chili sauce and they acted like it was such a exceptional request. Went again today and we tried to order online but order didnt go through, no big deal we tried to just order at the speaker and they asked us to drive around again after 3 cars behind us. Umm no.. what a rude request. We knew what we wanted it didnt take long after finding out our mobile order didnt go through. Then we asked for chili sauce and the lady at the window roller her eyes. Im sorry if you dont like your job maybe you should look somewhere else not in customer service because that is unacceptable. It wasnt even busy at the time we went.Im honestly so appalled at the way employees treat customers now aday. Im a business owner myself and if my employee treated a customer this way I would seriously reconsider hiring people that appreciate work.

Im a local and have been frequenting this location for years, and usually have a great experience. Unfortunately, the last few times my family and I have visited, the service hasnt been great. The last time we visited, my partner had to wait 15 minutes in the parking lot, and when he did finally receive his food, food and sauces were missing. Despite that, we visited again this afternoon for lunch, and unfortunately service wasnt much better. Not only was the person taking the order rude and pushy, but we still didnt receive the right order, sauces we asked for, or 3 sets of silverware even though we ordered 3 meals. I try to be understanding because I know people have had days, but lately the bad service is overshadowing the good food.

I was told to go park and wait for my order.20min later everyone even cars with bigger orders that got here before me got theirs; besides me. Ridiculous!I had to call the store so they could bring my order to my car and told them it’s being 20 minutes. They had me repeat my order twice because they did not remember it!They need to be more organized!!!

The 🍊 orange chicken was fresh, always get a healthy serving of food here. Like to eat outside, had 🐕 in car with air on.I need to get the bowl next time, just wish I could get smaller portions. Because I want the 2 entrée and rice and noodles too

Came to this panda and ordered the family meal deal. As soon as I asked for it the server said it would be a 30 min wait. We said it would be okay, and as soon as we said it was fine she started talking rudely and with attitude.

2022-06-29 21:57:38

I hope ever customer reads this! The owner of this facility should be ashamed and so should the employees, they made me wait 45 minutes because they want to act ignorant and not take peoples food outside because they hate their jobs, it’s not the customers fault you employees don’t like it you get paid to do a job so do it. I was told to park even though my order said it was ready and I had ordered 15 minutes before that I had to pull up to the window again just to ask for my order a second time just to be told sorry, sorry doesn’t pay for time or gas why apologize for stupid behaviors people like that will always be sorry for life. So angry right now I hope business goes out for this place.

The employee taking my order could not hear me and sounded irritable. My order on the screen was correct but when I received my order at the window it was wrong. I had to park and go inside so they could correct my order. They forgot to serve me 3 of my items. Instead of serving me a new order so my meal would be hot they wanted to give me the original meal with the correct missing items. I asked if they could serve me a hot plate since I had been waiting and my the rest of my meal would be cold by the time I drove home. They were not happy with me. Its not my fault that they waisted both my time and their own. Next time double check that you have peoples orders correct.

2021-01-01 23:54:54

We ordered on line so we didn’t have to wait in line, food was ready but had to wait for all the people in line while they were trying to decide what they wanted, made me get out of the front of the line to take care of them first, when my order was already done. We specifically requested sweet and sour sauce for our egg rolls, we live 6 miles out of town got home no sweet and sour sauce. Called and asked themabout it and they hung up on me. Won’t go there again.

For some reason they always mess up my order, so I dont go in for 6 months, then I try it again, chicken is crusty. I just dont know...

Review №44

2022-04-13 05:00:00

Who ever is in charge of this place should really look into their employees. We came through the drive through and asked for beef broccoli and mushroom chicken and Aaliyah who took our order was so rude and disrespectful while taking our order. She clearly has never either been told how to treat customers or just doesn’t have simple manners and at the end to make things worse we received our order wrong.

Review №45

2022-08-18 23:22:50

HORRIBLE. Orange chicken NASTY. Chow mein NO FLAVOR. Teriyaki chicken …. COLD. Food was bland with in addition that the orange chicken almost tasted sour and not fully cooked and on top of all of this, I tried calling the store to let them know about my unpleasant experience but NOBODY picked up… just a bad place overall.

Review №46

2022-05-09 01:24:37

Please pay more attention to what you Guys send out via DoorDash! Even when a customer is in person! It’s the 3rd time I get a wrong order and it’s been both in the drive thru and DoorDash. You can’t just put what you pick in orders either because there’s a wait time or because it’s being sent out and you assume a customer won’t care they you send out and item not even ordered. PAY MORE ATTENTION your customer help you stay in business and you jobs.

Had to wait 10 min. for chow mein. Not a big deal. But when I got my food it was overcooked and cold. The freshly cooked chow main was even mildly warm. I was waiting in my car because I went through the drive through. Hoping I could salvage my dinner. I dug for some soy sauce, only to find none. Two stars because the flavor of my dry cold dinner was still pretty good.

Review №48

2022-03-04 03:36:42

Girl at the cash register was very rude and to top it off I asked for soy sauce and she blatantly lied to my face and said she put some in my bag and also got my order wrong. Need better management or some hr reps to teach these workers some manners.

Went to get a plate & a bigger plate. Wanted the walnut shrimp & they said they didnt have enough for even one side. We decided to wait the 8 mins & got beef & broccoli instead.. what was the point of waiting?

My honest opinion, well I have been eating at this particular Panda Express since it opened. And can honestly say the food and service are very disappointing.

Review №55

2017-01-25 08:03:31

Service is slow. Be sure and check your order before leaving the drive thru. Had issues with getting a wrong order and no receipt. I live 20 miles (one way) away so turning around to have my order done correctly isnt an option.Plus even after calling in to complain about not getting what Id ordered and being told the cashier admitted to not giving me a receipt. When I went back for a replacement order I was given a HUGE hassle. Ended up demanding the original cashier be called ( he was the assistant manager) and the manager on duty.I was treated like crap and accused of trying to get over on them!!! Really?! Id spent $35 for a dinner that when I got it home wasnt even what Id ordered. Very disgusted with the whole incident. Havent been back since.

Review №56

2020-11-23 02:17:15

Though I have stopped at this Panda before, today I waited in line for 15 minutes in the drive through to give my order. I was asked to pull up and my order would be brought out. After 25 minutes, I went inside and had it inquire where my food was. Granted they were busy, but there were also quite a large number of staff present. The server did give me 4 spring rolls as a compensation.I think a warning that it would be a lonh wait might have helped.

Review №57

2021-07-08 19:58:51

They were out of chow mein. And I guess a bunch of other stuff. So dont do online ordering if youre going for your lunch break. It took 30 minutes for then realize their mistakes and refund my money. I was late from lunch without eating. On a 100 plus degree day. The manager couldnt care less. Thumbs down

Review №58

2019-07-21 21:41:51

I asked if I could get the shrimp for one of my sides for my plate and she told me it cost more. I told her that was fine bc I was in a rush and I was in the drive through. I got home and they didn’t put my shrimp in my plate. They always forget parts of your meal here. I also called the store to let them know what happened and they never answered.

Review №59

Not good! The rice as always is not cooked. But cannot discredit the Orange Chicken and Black Pepper Chicken. Those are good dishes. I only hope they would start cooking their rice thoroughly!

2022-01-25 03:23:26

Worst costumer service ever. Workers are so rude most of the time, it’s like they don’t wanna even be there. I’ve asked for certain items and they give them to me but almost forcefully. Almost every other Panda Express location is way better than the one in Los Banos.

Review №62

2021-03-27 20:07:29

This place is always out if food then tell you its gonna be long wait. Why have a drive thru if nothing is ready? I came when on Saturday during lunch but it was actually slow and they were out of 4 things I was ordering for me and my family. I just left! Dont waste your time at the drive thru!

Review №63

2021-03-09 17:52:39

Was on my way fishing when I stopped by to buy food here. I bought 2 plates and didnt bother to open the plates to look to see if I had everything inside, because I usually do, but this time I didnt! I didnt notice until I reached my spot to eat and noticed I didnt have an entree in one of my plates!! The server knew I didnt have an entree yet still had the audacity to charge me full price! Dont order from here!! If you do, better look at your plates and stuff and make sure you got everything in there before leaving or else youll be like me, disappointed and feeling cheated! Whats worst is, the girl server smiled at me while she charged and handed me my plate of food!!

I had lunch here on a Thursday at 12 p.m. The employees were not friendly, some of them looked like they didnt want to be there, the restaurant wasnt even busy. One of the servers forgot to bring me my extra entree even after I reminded her, she looked annoyed, I had to get back in line to order it myself again. They mixed up the freshly cooked vegetables with the old dry ones that remained. One of the bathroom door locks didnt work, somebody walked in on me while I was in there.

Stay away from this Panda Express! The food and service is extremely poor. We ordered a family meal online tonight. The Panda Express website said the food would be ready at 5:28. My wife got there at 5:30 and is still waiting for the food at 5:51. This Panda Express has continued to go down hill over the years. I will gladly drive an additional 10-15 mins to the Santa Nella location. The manager and employees actually care about customer service and the quality of food.

Orange chicken looks like it got picked up off the floor, Shanghai Steak I got all the bottom vegetables including broccoli with the flourettes removed? Dont understand why thay think I want a broccoli stalk?On top of that the chow mein is awful and dry. This place sure has gone down since I moved here.

Last time ordering the kung pao chicken they gave me literally half chilies. Had about 12 pieces of chilies and barely any chicken. Pretty messed up. Was food for my wife and she was not happy. Servings are very poor and not what you pay for.

Two things: It was later evening and we stopped for dinner coming from Fresno on our way home. When we got home my wife discovered she did not have her purse. She had left it at PANDA. We made a call and YES, they had it. It was near closing time and we lived 1 and 1/2 hours away, so we made arrangements to return the next day, small inconvenience when one thinks of the alternative. The purse contents were totally intact. Wanting to reward their honesty with a monetary gift, we were told it was Panda company policy not to accept money. She further graciously contented the explanation saying we are here to serve good food and help our customers in any way we can. Such a high level of customer service one does not often experience these days in the commercial arena. It was reassuring to experience this amazing act of kindness and doing the right thing when it seems our society has gone crazy with selfishness and too many hurtful acts and words.The meal we enjoyed was delicious! And no MSG in any of the food! The crew that night was personable and efficient. They were busy the night we were there, keeping the cooks busy. The was minimal waiting for a favorite selection to be replenished ...well worth the wait.

Review №75

2021-04-09 23:19:41

The food is amazing but every time I visit the drive thru I have to park and wait 10-15 minutes for an item. Its ridiculous Los Banos definitely needs another Panda location we need options for better service.

Review №76

2021-02-05 16:01:11

Good food but the drive thru was very slow and I had to wait 20 minutes for mushroom chicken to finish cooking. My boyfriend ordered teriyaki chicken and after waiting for my mushroom chicken I had to go back into the restaurant to get the sauce for my boyfriends chicken.

Review №77

2019-04-03 13:54:29

When we ordered the bigger plate, they gave the smallest portuon sizes. We asked for extra sauces, they filled them a quarter full.. total joke. Dont waste your money here.Edited: My family of 4 has either thrown up or been on the toilet due to Undercooked chicken. If i could contact the manager I would tell Him/her to fire those people that work and cook there.

I wish I read the previous reviews before ordering my chicken teriyaki. There was no sauce. The amount of food they put on the plate was not worth the amount paid. Won’t be visiting this location again.

The food was good and the restaurant was clean. They need more employees theres always a long wait before you can give them your order. They are very Limited on employees.

The food at this location is the tastiest Ive found. Prepared nicely, plenty of vegetables in the chow mein, crunchy (not soggy) chicken and shrimp. The only negative thing at this visit was sweet tea in the unsweetened tea dispenser.

The rice and chow mein had very little flavor. The beef and broccoli had some what of a fishy or clam taste. Witch was unappetizing. The coke tasted between a light flavor of coke and a sprite but mainly carbonated water. And they need top aaf more flavor to their food!

Greasy, cold food, and out of rice?I thought all Panda Expresses were the same. Boy am I wrong! Out of white rice for over 45 minutes. What kind of chief lets this happen? The entrée was cold kind of mushy thanks to some cold broccoli. But the entire entrée was cold to the touch, like it had been refrigerated and not warmed in the microwave long enough. The taste of this Angus steak entrée was like some of the worst food I have tasted in years. A prior review said something about the food being greasy, that might be part of the problem with this dish. For that past year and a helf I have eaten at the Panda Express in Fremont 2 or 4 time a week, which when compaired to this one... Fremonts is a 9.5 and this one is a -7, there is no comparison.I also see no effort to speed up the process of getting the food out. On several occasions of driving by and seeing 10 to 15 cars in line from the speaker box, but only one if that many, at the pick up window. (Do I have bad timing or what?)

Usually I like panda but not this time. When I asked they said they had a new cook which Im hoping means they will improve. The string bean chicken was sweet like candy and it never is, the teriyaki chicken tasted off even the fried rice and chow mein didnt taste right.

My food tasted like it wasn’t fresh at all, bad taste and when they hung out the food to me On top of the plate there was a small spider on top 🤢(outside the plate ) employees bad attitude, and super bad customer service. Never going back there any more .

They are drive-thru Panda Express! Perfect way to beat the heat and get your Chinese Fast Food fix in for the day! Inside is clean, Associates are Speedy, efficient and friendly! Everything youd expect from a panda. You get more if you order a to-go plate in order from inside.

They have the worst customer service. They had me waiting in the parking lot for almost 20-30 minutes for my food and it was hot i had my daughter and nieces with me so I had to go in to see what happened to my order, those people never had my food ready. Im never going there again!!!!

Panda Express off of 152 heading out of Los Banos it is a great place .its always delicious but sometimes they have certain items that you need to wait 10 12 minutes and that just makes it thrilling when you are hungry and not happy because youre ready to go and just get your meal nd take off but yet were glad to have Panda Express in Los Banos

So, normally im a pretty good fan of Panda Express due to Price and Convenience..When I went on Sunday, I knew what I wanted before drive-thru but got flustered when she ask me to try the Shrimp promo ans I said sure why not!!..So in placin the order, she repeated the order backwards and then cut me off in doin so. I wasnt trippin cause it dors happen from time to time, but then after taking my order, She was talking trash about me with her mic on, so I heard every work she said. When i went to the window, now all of a sudden no one with authority was available and the one that took my order just happenned to be too busy to come to window..She was put in place by second party employee telling her from me..Next time\ you talk trash about a loyal customer, make sure your microphone is completely off, as people and companies get sued for lesser actions, if not worse. You never know who people are over the microphone, so treat ALL the same with some respect and patience. She lucky She wasnt a He, or I woukd havr gotten out if my car and told them myself..FACE TO FACE what I thought of her Poor and Disrespectful Customer Service..Thank You Fanny for covering for your Idiotic Co-Worker and I will make sure I post on website as instructed!!.✌🏽😎and I nvr complained or commented about her not speaking clearly and talking fast with her accent to understand what she was saying in the first place!!.😬

Food was good but forgot to give me a fork and said they did. Also didnt mention when an item was an extra charge. Overall was a good lunch but ended up being pricy and it was a pain having to turn around. Probably bwony be going back. There are several cheaper places to eat with better service.

The food was good, the service okay I guess but, the amount of you they give you of food you can’t finish it! I think they need to ask costumers if the amount of food is okay. So 3 stars.

Normally like Panda, but not this time. Sauces way too thick almost chunky. Had to wait 20 min for food. They told me 5 min first, then 2 more after 10 min. Then soon after 15 min. If its going to take that long, they need to say so up front

All pandas pretty much are the same with flavors however this one doesn’t carry some items like the rest. Such as potsticker or Ragoons. I’ve noticed with Panda Express in general they give less “meat” and more veggies🙄🙄 I mean balance it out!! If I order string bean chicken I want more than 2 pieces of chicken and a whole pound of string beans🤦🏻‍♀️

2021-09-29 19:03:27

This is by far the worst Panda Express that I have eaten at. Always out of certain items at dinner time Drive-thru is a joke always Missing items from purchase or sauces. Spend your money somewhere else!!

Review №113

Drive through isnt the best. a menu when you first get there would help you to have order ready when you get to speaker. Also sun shines on screen and you cant see it. Food was good.

This Panda express is the most awful place to visit or eat.. Having their customers waiting over 20 minutes after you were told 7 minutes before their food was ready.. Not having enough food prepped ..the floor is guisting..the counters are disguisting.. Not to mention the bathrooms are very disguisting.. Corporate really needs to come and in and do some rehiring and training... Their employees are rude as they can be

2019-05-04 22:46:36

I preordered my food because I was in a rush and sick, and when I went in TEN MINUTES AFTER it was supposed to be ready (after they had already delayed the order online As well) and it still wasn’t ready, so I waited and waited and waited, and an hour after I had ordered my food it was finally ready (all after I had to argue with the lady at the register and show her my confirmation email because she insisted I didn’t have an order) so I really don’t recommend here, any other Chinese is better honestly

Review №141

2018-12-04 21:54:11

Portions are getting smaller, if you get there at 9 pm they give you a look like they dont like you getting there at this time because theyre about to close dine in hours and choises are limited at this time, I dont think they have customers relation training.
