Tastes about the same ur average panda express. Portion sizes fluctuate a lot.

Fresh and tasty food. Staff is always friendly and quick! You dont have to wait very long to get your lunch...

Pretty standard but its pretty awful how the servers just pile the food into the boxes and dont close them properly. All the aauce falls out and its just not very appetizing.Sure, students dont have much choice for food but please improve on the presentation.

Good prices and a lot of food! A Panda Express like almost everyone of those.

Compared to other Pandas, the food is about the same in quality - however, due to the HUGE number of students they serve, the food is always fresh and hot during the quarter. The line moves fast and the prices are average. Its a good eating option on campus

Its the service you expect from any sort of Panda Express and has the same taste as all of them. The food is average (obviously since its fast food). The speed of the restaurant is quick and the food is hot since they serve so many people.

Extremely rude staff. My friend and I got two different orders, they put it into one, and the girl cashier gave us attitude for not telling her it was two separate orders. On top of that, they were speaking Spanish the entire time making it feel like they were talking smack about us behind the counter. The food was not good either since the chow mein and rice was dry and on top of that I got more oil and mushrooms than steak for the Shanghai Angus Steak, also being charged $1.25 more. I will not come back here

Pretty typical. Its one of the more popular places for lunch on campus, so expect it to be swarmed. During the day food turnover is quick, so everything hot and fresh.

Two stars for being edible. Their Kung Pao Cucumber is pretty good, plenty of cucumber, chill pepper, and peanuts, with some finishing touches of chicken pieces. Other food are mostly edible matter.

Not real, wholesome, and sustaining food of course. I was hungry two hours later. It was more to satisfy my cravings.

I think its priced a little higher than other Panda Expresses, but at least its on campus and gets the job done.

Served very small portions and when I asked for more because the amount claimed to have 41 grams of protein I was told thats the amount when it was half as much as I got at every other Panda Express I had ever been too

Good place to be, also the cheapest in comparison with what you will pay for the same food in downtown SD

Decent for a quick meal. Most dishes have very thick and sweet overpowering sauces.

Meh. Perhaps its because we came right before closing, but the food wasnt great. Everything was drowning in sauce.

Experienced food poisoning after ordering what turned out to be undercooked teriyaki chicken at the UCSD Panda Express.

Fast american chinese food. Eat there if you have to. There are better options in the price center.

The rice sometimes is really stiff and unpleasant to eat. Make sure to check before getting it.

I love the orange chicken here! The rice is a little dry compared to Japanese food, but its edible. You may not need the fortune cookie they give you every time... it will keep your mouth moist.
