Ordered the 2 entre plate, these 3 little pieces of beef and 5 broccoli.....thats all we got for the one entre! Unbelievably ridiculous for the price! Not to mention the green bean chicken. I will not be going back to this location again. I suggest not wasting your money.

They Didnt have the line food item that I wanted. I didnt mind waiting since its usually always there. It was rush hour. However, when the item was made, they gave me such a poultry amount that it was disappointing. I guess there are a lot of people already waiting for that same item, so they still have to be a little stingy with it.

Portion is soooo small, it doesnt even make you feel full.While the person in front of me got his portion squeezed in with soo much.... Fovorie?? Maybe they knew each other??The whole the manager stood there and wait so she can rings us up... Just a smile on her face when she saw the big diff in portion size.Overall, Panda Express is Dead!!!NO MORE PANDA EXPRESS!!!You guys/gals must have seen it too....

June 11 around 7pm my kids and husband wanted some panda express. We stepped inside everybody said Welcome bit when I was ordering I definitely didnt feel welcome,specially with that lady in black shirt, she had a really bad attitude, no patience at all rushing me to order even though there wasnt anyone waiting. She got mad because I asked for a plate, but ended getting a bowl. The cashier lady is really nice. I was really upset because of the other ladys attitude. But the cashier was so nice and caring. J

These guys just dont get it. Every time I go here or order online, something ends up wrong. They are the new McDonalds of Brea. To be a little more clear: There are always missing items or I just cant get a normal, accurate order. Today, I ordered online and part of my order was a bottled sprite. The sprite was hot. It wasnt even cold just a little. Its like it was sitting in a hot stock room. I think the problem with this store, other than competence, is that they ONLy focus on hurrying. They should start by focusing on efficiency. All they do is hurry hurry hurry so of course service wont be sincere or accurate. Laslty, McDonalds hasnt missed an item for me in a long time lol. Thats where you guys are. Think about that.

Greeted warmly from server, and she was busy cleaning the glass and windows. Food was hot and fresh. Beef brocolli wasnt the best, but the kung pao and bejing beef qas the best. Not sure if corporate was here evaluating, but theybwere doing a great job. (Restrooms were clean)

I ordered 4 entrees and 2 sides for work pot luck. I dont usually eat at panda because, I was in a different city and my Chinese restaurant to go to located another county. Food was surprisingly good, but please next time you have someone to deliver our food, make sure they speak and understand English. Service was 3 stars for having us waiting for a while for our foods and when I asked him questions, he spoke in his native language. 🤦‍♀️ oh well. Next time Ill pick it up.

What rude, unprofessional employees ask for a bigger plate item on the menu the amount of the food is not enough for the price they charge. I asked them that I liked more. They acted that they didn’t hear me. I asked again. The tall girl shakes her head as a negative answer. Well, Nop 3 pieces of orange chicken are not enough for 14$. I immediately rejected the food and told them, “I don’t like your attitude.” and I walked out. Ill never go to this franchise again.Personally, when I ask, I like it more. Ill be happy to pay the extra fee for it but the level of communication is so poor that they didnt even ask the customer or offer. That indicates a Lack of management and training.

It’s ridiculous portion and terrible service. They forgot to put salt on fried rice. Quality has been down so much. Use to like this place. Disappointed.

2023-04-27 21:56:31

I will start by saying Ive lived in this town for a very, very long time. Will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give this place another transaction. Ive noticed a trend with mobile orders. They will always, always serve the line first. Doesnt matter how long in advance you order.For the second time now, I go and end up being the last one served, last to leave. Sitting for at least 10 extra minutes both occurrences.After they asked my name to verify order multiple times, they then had me verify my phone number. Didnt feel right.They also only give fortune cookies when they feel like it. Havent gotten one in the last 4 to 5 visits.Store needs a new logistics/customer service leader.

They are open until 9:30 but stop making food at 8:30 so if you’re looking to get food here before they close all they’ll have is old fried rice and chow mein, everybody wants to go home so they shut down early

Took over 10 minutes to get food and then I see they take a lot of orange chicken from my plate. I ordered two entrees of orange chicken and after the lady took out some it look like 1 1/2

2023-01-26 01:21:31

Employees sat in the middle of the dining floor and treated table as break room. Servers were rude to chefs and vice versa. All around unprofessional. Food is still good for the price though and its a convenient spot.

The ABSOLUTE WORST TASTING CHINESE FOOD, EVER. 9 employees and I still had to wait over 15 minutes to get a tray full of chum. I got more food in a bowl than a plate, which is $2 more. The portions were near microscopic, the prices were higher than other Chinese food restaurants, the food tasted like garbage. I didnt even eat, it was so bad. I will never come here again.

I used to love Panda coz food is tasty and they give a lot.....things have changed over these past few years. Depending on the location sometimes food is not worth your money but in all locations they give you a little. They change an extra dollar for those steaks and expensive meat and yet they give you like 3 or 4 small slices of the meat. I honestly wouldnt recommend Panda unless theres really not much choice. They need to understand that people deserve what they are paying for and why are they so stingy in giving out food when they make so much profit?

Review №21

2020-11-04 20:46:53

They give you the plate half empty. Not really worth the money. Is this really worth $9?!

Review №22

2020-03-10 09:49:01

Dont get the teriyaki chicken unless you like fat and gristle.Update: Look how much chicken they gave me. Very little. Mostly vegetables.

Review №23

2022-01-02 04:48:59

Every time the food tastes different. The staff is rude. The portions are halfway empty if you dont watch them. I asked the manager for my money back of course returning the food and she said that I have to address the issue with the customer relations.

Placed a mobile order..i went to pick it up cause it was ready...ended up waiting 45min...they hadnt even started on it. Not very organized...they were literally going around in circles. No one knew what to do...i know its Chinese fast food, but can you hire some Mexicans

Review №25

2017-11-27 03:06:38

The food is always fresh and delicious, but we had an unpleasant experience while dining here. The girl cleaning tables and pushing chairs in was doing so obnoxiously loud. Both my wife and I looked at each other and kind of grit out teeth at the same time. Next time we will take our order to go...

Panda is a panda. They’re all about the same quality wise. This location has nice staff. Usually pretty clean. Recently tastes like they changed the recipe for the orange chicken. It got more tangy which I don’t like therefore the 3 stars. Also their teriyaki sauce has been changed to packets for covid which I don’t like since it’s not the same teriyaki sauce.

Came in about 8 pm low selection unwilling to make fresh portions also rushing while placing orders when nobody is waiting behind us.

Review №28

2022-06-24 01:09:42

Rude staff. Im not the only one that said so here..half empty portions. Ive been to several locations. Never had any complaint with portions.

Review №29

2021-01-03 04:08:47

Never order through here with Uber eats. I try to be a patient man and I understand mistakes happen. Theres no excuse though when theres an issue literally every single time I order. I have no issues with any other location that I try to order through except for this one. Will never be ordering from here again. Absolute joke

Review №30

2022-07-08 22:38:03

I usually get the same thing two of the bigger plates and the 1 entree so when i left i was missing 1 item i went back and they said it was my fault that i didnt order 2 of the bigger plate they were charging me for it instead of them saying that it was a misunderstanding they could of gave me the one entree it was only 1.62 plus they were rude and i eneded up leaving this is a horrible place

Best Panda Express location in North Orange County. The parking is difficult around lunch time but dinner time is all clear. The staff at this location are very nice. The resturant is also very clean. I drive past another panda express to come to this one.

The service was fast and friendly. When I got home and began to eat my food I found hair in my chow mein . It maybe a while before I eat at Panda Express again. Try and use the hair nets.

The employees are helpful and friendly. They change the food bowls infront of us to fresh stock.The food is fresh hot and good. The restaurant was clean very bissy easy dinning in. Easy to find parking. In good location.

Review №36

2020-12-15 04:55:49

If I could give zero stars I would. Went there a couple times over an hour before closing and they were out of half the items. Asked if theyd make more and they said no. Why have it on the menu if they arent going to always have it prepared? Also the serving size has gotten way smaller. This Panda express is the worst!

Review №37

2018-08-25 05:09:36

My last visit was disappointing. I ordered a bowl with chow mein and orange chicken. Unfortunately, the orange chicken was undercooked (pink). Slow down ppl and make sure the food is cooked completely before serving it.

Review №38

2018-04-11 01:13:30

Good food, but if your Ordering online, dont expect it to be 100%accurate, in fact just order there lol its faster then them trying to find your order, was only in a rush cuz 30 min lunch. All in all good place

Review №39

2017-09-22 01:13:00

The cashier was a bit slow when charging people and held up the line. the food was good but it felt a little short of what Ive gotten before as if they didnt put enough into the box

Review №40

2019-07-06 18:20:19

All 3 things I ordered (orange chicken, angus steak, and chowmein) was old. I kid you not, even the fortune cookie was stale. Won’t be back here any time soon

Review №41

2012-09-10 23:59:59

The food is purely gut filler, nothing special. But I swear the servers are robotic. They serve, day the exact same thing to a customer and keep asking if you want side dishes...egg rolls greasy egg tolls. I have taken a new tactic when asked if I want extras that I didnt ask for I dont answer. As I stated its not Hong Kong its cheap below average greasy what passes for chinrsr food.

2020-01-27 02:53:30

The food is good. Sometimes there’s a wait but at peak times the food is very fresh. The worst thing here is THE BROKEN AIRCONDITIONER. IT IS LIKE SIBERIA. IT FEELS LIKE THEY WANT YOU TO LEAVE.

Review №45

2014-12-06 04:30:11

The food here always seems DOA in the pan.Employees here are brain dead most of the time. Obliviously a badly managed restaurant.The one in Yorba Linda is much better. Food is always fresh there.

The food has NO flavor, its not good, my frustration is that its expensive and they give very little and they charge an extra 1.50 extra for angus meat and they give you only 3 pieces of meat 😡 I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR ANYTHING!!! dont waste your money there ITS NOT WORTH IT and part of it hurts your food
