Its been a while since I had food at panda express, but they really surprised me. I took a family deal to go, I got home, everything looks good but the broccoli beef... 90%broccoli vs 10% or less beef. I think is time to re-name that dish.

Food was super hot. The orange chicken had a different salty taste that I wasnt really into. The service was fast and pleasant. First time I used their rewards application which was nice. Only came here because it was nearby where we were in Seaside. I probably wont be back just because its pretty far. It did have the Panda express signature flavors other than that orange chicken. If youre reading this I assume you know what Im talking about.

The line is always wrapping around the restaurant or out the door but the food is ALWAYS so worth it! The staff is very friendly and hardworking and dedicated to each and every customer and they all work very quickly to try and make the wait for customers not so long. Even though the line is usually long, the wait isnt so bad sometimes

Panda Express has a great food selection & great prices! Currently, due to Covid-19, they have a system in place where you go to the door on the right side to place your order. Then you go to the door on the left to pick up your order (when they call your name). Then they placevyour order on a tray, and your change & the receipt in a basket. Thank you!Crystal is very nice and friendly, great communication, wonderful customer service! Thank you Crystal!--Andrea

We ordered the fried rice, chowmien, potsitckers and orange chicken. The orange chicken was the only thing that was okay. The rest of the food had no seasoning at all tasted like a really bad school lunch. It was cold and very bland. I hate to complain but it was a waste of money. Love panda but wont be back at this one.

So I went to seaside location super busy tonight I went in with my 3 kids. I ordered family feast. 5 sides I order chow main and rice 2 orange chicken and beef&broccoli. Additionally I ordered m-white rice m-walnut shrimp & m- kung pao chicken. Now my daughter was crying so I didn’t see when they were putting the food into containers plus long line. So I paid then I checked food in the restaurant and I had 3 chow mains. I told a lady in the front and she went to get me the rice then come back to say That I DID NOT ORDER THE RICE AND THAT I WAS LYING WOW!!!!! Then I leave the 3rd chow main because I didn’t want it. I walk up to the girl who help me I told her it’s rude to say that I was lying when she clearly miss heard. I left mad. Then I come home and served my kids and myself I am pregnant and my daughter started complaining about the orange chicken it was freaking raw!!!!! Week later no call from nobody!!!!!

I was literally starving after driving for hours before stopping here. The manager was serving at this location and gave really small portions. When I open my meal and took a couple bites of rice I saw this black curled hair inside of my food in the fried rice. The food didnt taste right either, as of the recipe wasnt followed or it was old. Completely ruined my day.

Decent and fast. Always crowded at lunch time so go a bit later if you can, and definitely wait for the trays to be refilled with freshly cooked.

Nothing special about this panda its not the best one but not the worst either just kind of middle of of the fence on this one i can say that there food is a bit bland and lacks flavor. Usally pretty quick moving line

I like their food: fresh and clean. However, they need more workers. Recently, I was there after work. There was a long line and I waited long. Only one server was taking and filling BOTH mobile and on-site orders. Other workers were doing other things such as handling payments or refilling the food. Their system is inefficient. I hope that they have more servers. Filling both mobile and on-site orders seemed to be too much for one server.

Decent fast Chinese food but where’s the mustard? They’re no longer carrying it. It’s like a burger joint that doesn’t offer ketchup. Who does that?!

If you want slow service from people who do not listen, this is the place for you. The bathroom is gross and they will sell you iced tea…even though their tea machine is out of order. But then again, what do you expect from people who don’t listen?!?!

Everyone loves panda express. Its Chinese food without the commitment to buying an entire box of one dish. This location is pretty clean, the people who work there seen to be nice. They are usually busy though, with a line wrapped around the store sometimes. They also didnt have toilet paper or soap the last time I was there. Probably because it was so busy, its not typically like that. The food was good, as usual.... However, I only got 4 pieces of broccoli and 3 small pieces of beef in my broccoli beef... Again, probably because they were really busy. I would just order ahead and check your food before you leave when considering this location during prime meal hours and holidays.

Dont be fooled... this location is buying their higher reviews by offering free food for 5 stars. Staff is rude, food is cold. This is not based off one visit.. its based off several.

Came an hour before closing and they had no beef and broccoli among many other popular dishes. The fried rice was missing vegetables and tasted bland. Seemed liked they were just trying to leave.

Good place for quick cheap Chinese-ish food lol. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and quick. Occasionally they get a little mixed up but Im not expecting 5 star service here so I dont get mad.

Food is always great. Gave 1 ⭐.stop asking to donate spare change. Was asked today only for the cashier tell me the bank do not give them coins. Sounds like scam since panda is the only one who still use coin shortage as an excuse to keep your change. Would love to get a reply from the higher ups.

The location is open for to go only, when I picked up my order I just realize they have given me unwrapped spoons when I didn’t get any type of soup and what is most important, they only allow ten people at a time in the building because of the Covid-19 but they have no problem to give you unwrapped and uncleaned plastic utensils. Wish I could give a better review and for them to also worried about customer service and follow all the proper sanitary measurements.

This is the only fast food I would eat right now. At least I can get veggies here that still have a crunch to them. Service was pleasant and quick. The wait was about 25 minutes due processing call in/online orders at the same time. Overall worth the wait but next time I will order online for faster pick up.

Panda Express is generally consistent food wise. The only thing that sets one apart from another is the quality of the staff. Better staff, friendlier attitudes, cleaner restaurant, etc. The Panda Express in Seaside, Ca...is better than most.

We came in at 8:50 pm and they close at 10 pm on a Sunday. We had to wait about 15 minutes and when we got to the front they said they were making anything else because they are closing soon. It was 9:10 so they had plenty of time to make more teriyaki chicken. They just wanted everyone out ASAP. I get it everyone wants to go home but they have no good customer service and they skimp you out as much as possible! I had to tell them I want more because I’m eating for 2. The girl rolled her eyes. I should of got the name but anyways. This is why they work here, because they have no customer service and probably won’t move up with this kind of attitude. The food is most definitely plain. The worse panda I’ve ever had.

2019-04-19 03:05:16

I love Panda Express. These guys are great. The food is great. The staff is great my only gripe are there are some long lines sometimes. 15 -30 minute waits. Even though its understandable since sometimes they are cooking the food it still sucks. All in all a great experience. Take out is the way to go.

Review №32

2022-05-05 00:06:17

The workers dont know how to operate the computers, or how to do the math themselves. Theyre taking trash out through the main dining area while its crowded. There are four people waiting for their food, and a line of fifteen people waiting on all that so they can order, and not to mention they dont have change, and so they basically force you to donate to something because theyre going downhill. If a corporation is dying, either do something about it or let it die.

Review №33

If anyone loves Panda its me but this is unacceptable. Yesterday I went and ordered 4 bigger plates and they didnt have any broccoli beef which is fine but once I got home they gave my plate two wrong entrees so I had to go back. And the following day (today), I ordered a bowl and plate and even after I had specified that on the plate was white rice and bowl was fried rice, she began to serve fried rice on the plate only for me to correct her immediately. In the same order as soon as I got home I came to realize they missed an entire entree of teriyaki chicken for my plate. I recommend avoiding this location and going to the one by Trader Joes because the staff at this location seem to make the same repeated mistakes and show no apparent effort to care or pay attention to customers and their orders.

2021-12-20 03:02:35

I’m not sure who really is at fault but I placed an order on DoorDash and when I received it two entrees were missing. I tried to call Panda Express 3 times and never got an answer. My DoorDash driver told me he only picks up and delivers. So where do I go from here. I really don’t want to pay for any of it as it was our family dinner.

Review №35

Not sure why but they now close at 7pm which is basically the working mans dinner time.If you are unlucky enough to go in close to closing time you get left overs. Won’t be going there anymore I will give my business to the noodle bar or Chopstix better food and they want your business.

We arrived at Panda Express just a few minutes before closing time. There was a long line, but it was moving quickly. The ladies behind the counter worked fast and efficiently. The cook was hard at work, getting entrees out. Although my favorite entree wasnt available, there were other selections that were just as good. The server was apologetic about not having my selection available, but she was quick to recommend another. Our food was neatly packaged, and we were on our way. My only gripe is that we did not get so sauce. Oh well, it was still delish!

Save your time and go straight to SEASIDE. On my past 3 visits to MONTEREY closed before schedule posted signs, staff borderline rude and last night turned up 10 minutes before closing and was offered dishes that were fit only for trash. I would suggest the pans with dried on scraps are at least stacked giving the impression that you value your customers more than that, as these were offered as an option. Just say sorry our kitchen is closed and Im sorry this is all we have! They could also proactively say our Seaside location is open until 10pm, they also closed at 9.30pm.The food was Panda Express at its best and service was genuinely good and the young lady who served me prepared the plate with care and attention.Good job Seaside.Just be aware the closing times are not accurate.

Seriously???? FILTHY bathroom. The chicken teriyaki had absolutely NO flavor - at least the chicken was tender! The walnuts in the shrimp dish were tiny and hard. NO BOTTLED WATER!!!! And they couldnt confirm whether or not their fountain water was filtered -- I could literally taste the chemicals in it!

Used to be a really good place but the past few months quality has gone down a lot. Been giving them a lotta chances cuz I love panda express, but everything is always soggy like if i heated it in the microwave. I order with doordash a lot but it’s the same if I go pick it up. They also never give Sweet & Sour w the appetizers (even though supposed to come with it, no option to add on doordash) and if I ask in person, I get a lil container filled like 1/4 full lol they give them out for free so idk the point of putting so little in the container or not putting sauce in bags at all. Weird

Panda Express food is good but the employees who work in this location specially the server and cashier need customer service training. Ive been working customer service for more than 10 years, so I know how it should be. The server has a thin voice and hard to understand with the radio on. I wanted the Family Feast thats why I pointed the to go box which is on the side of the counter but she said that they only have the plate for to go. I was a little bit disappointed because I have to order seperate plate for 4 with the same order. I just ordered 3 bigger Plates and the server started to be unfriendly which I dont get it. Also, the cashier talked like I dont understand the process of paying it. She just dropped our food infront of us instead of giving it to us. Then she just left and I wasnt even finish signing the receipt. Their customer service is poor because of no flexibility, unfriendly, and LACK OF MANNER! And where is our fortune cookies? First Panda Express location who doesnt give fortune cookies.

One of the female workers was rude and arrogant while picking up an order. Gave me 4 thumbs down in a row and nearly got me kicked from uber eats. I didn’t do anything except refuse to full the drinks because of health concerns. We aren’t allowed to be hands on with the food besides the bags for delivery. It’s only this one female though. I go on the weekends when she isn’t working and nothing! They’re great! We talk and have a good time while waiting.

The bad rating is for the food. Not worth what you pay. Fried and lot of sauces and no flavor at all.

2021-09-06 21:24:35

2019- Very good food but disappointed from the portions and the price, Im sure its not the employees fault more like the greediness of the franchise owner and corporate thing, that my rating is based on. I will give it three stars.2021- totally one star very bad quality I gave three stars before based on small portions but now not only the small portions with high prices but also the quality of the food is really bad and sad.

We, I mean my family and I get so tired of my five or six dishes that I cook very well but are so boring. I wish I could cook Asian style it is exciting and delicious. If you want something that is reasonable nutritious and easy on your pocketbook try Panda Express at least once a week. The family will be so happy you did!

2021-07-31 20:48:17

Its nice to be able to go in now and see the food. Easter to make a decision. Always clean and for the most part quick. No matter what time of the day it always tastes the same and choices are always available.

I came in at about 4 oclock, the place was empty and the trays were low. I had to wait as they made the Angus dish and as I was sitting a young kid emptying trash told me to wait outside. I was not aware that I couldnt wait in the building, especially when no other customers were there. It was a little awkward because they had to send out a guy that looked like he just started on the job that day to implement the rules. I wish I was told at the time I paid, at the register.I called when I got home because my kung pau chicken was burnt. The person who answered passed me on to a supervisor that was really not interested in what I had to say.Just bring in the receipt and Ill see what I can do. Unfortunately for me, Ariel, the cashier didnt give me a receipt.Im screwed and they do so well why would they really care about one unhappy customer?Sincerely, Richard Coppola

We love the Panda Express. I always go there and pick up a family feast to bring home. Its a lot of food and usually lasts us a couple of days. I feel like the chain is making efforts to have healthier items but of course we dont usually go for those. In any event everyone always enjoys their meal. The lines get long sometimes but in general unless you have to wait for something to be cooked they move pretty quickly. Theres lots of parking at this location as it is only one of a few establishments using the parking area.

Review №48

2015-09-20 04:09:40

The food was burnt. The service was rude. They served little portions. I didnt get at all what I paid for and they didnt even get my order right. This is the worst Panda Express Ive ever been too. I usually cant wait to have PandaExpress, but this store in Seaside, was a huge disappointment. It needs new cooks that can cook chinese food, and friendly customer service that also gets the orders right and gives you your moneys worth. I say for now take your dollars and go elsewhere.

If you like Panda Express you will like the food here. However this place is always busy at dinner times 5 to 8 pm. Long line and then you typically have to wait for the main entrees and side dishes. Panda should consider opening another store in Monterey.

They are closing early at 7:00 p.m.?? Ran out of food after the wife stood in line for 45 minutes, she had to tell staff that they should warn others behind her that they were out of most items.

Review №51

2019-07-23 18:23:36

I went in at 12:30 7/22/19 not many people, service was nice, food was not, I realize this was newly opened but the experience was bad.ordered a 3 entries meal and pot-stickerscooks were standing around for the most part not refilling the counter food without staff asking them to and they did so begrudgingly.Most of the breaded/candied foods was rock hard, even broke my plastic fork. When I asked to taste some it was hard for the lady at the counter to stab one to get a taste, this means they were not changing the food out enough and let it overcook I think.The friend rice was not cooked all the way, rock pebbles, not fun to chew.The double mushroom chicken was fine, flavor was right and easy to chew like normal.The orange chicken was hard to stab and chew as was the shanghai beef was also tough and hard to eat.On the potstickers, I had to wait 5 minutes, as they had not made any, they were soft and easy to chew when I received them, but no sauce .Overall only 2 things of my order were really edible in a normal fashion, I typically eat at gilroys, bay area, salinas pandas, so I have plenty of experience with the chain.I sincerely hope they improve with time, but as it stands i cant in good conscience recommend at this time.

Review №52

2019-06-30 19:24:50

The service at the location leaves much to be desired for. They dont have half the menu items available to order and the lady in charge of the register gives attitude and does not listen to consumer requests.Their soda machine is broken and they are fixing it in the middle of that day on a Sunday and have tools and dirty water all over the floor.When a customer asked for napkins, she barely acknowledged him and pointed with her mouth to the box of napkins on top of a table.

Review №53

2021-11-14 03:16:53

Horrible service today 13/13/2021 we went at 6:25PM and waited half an hour and 10 minutes before they closed they stopped cooking the when there were 15 people still waiting in line and they said that they werent going to make any more food. 1 person who looked like they were in there 60s said they were waiting for 40 minutes and he was talking to the manager how it was unfair that they had to chose what was left on the menu. The man left angry and so did others.

I like Panda Express enough to endure visiting this particular outlet on occasion. My main complaint is the young ladies that ladle the food onto your plate frown consistently and show no outward signs of friendliness or concern.In five visits not one of the servers has smiled. Eye contact is never achieved.Generally when I smile at someone there is an acknowledgement of some sort. Never here. Its uncanny.The food is okay but more often the choices are limited because the cooks do not feed a steady supply to all of the food trays.I suggest when robots take over for this chain the software developers write AI code that can deliver a friendly tone.Thats all I want from fast food restaurant employees. Its not asking for much.

Review №55

2019-06-01 00:18:39

The restaurant was so disgustingly dirty that I cant rate them any higher than a one star, if possible I might rate them a -1 star it was simply that filthy.I understand its a fast food joint but really I would think that the corporate offices must enforce some sort of cleanliness policies (which if they are, they are certainly not being followed in this location).I arrived at roughy 2pm that day and all (*ALL*) of the tables had some sort of food crumbs on them from noodles, to rice to bits of vegetables that come in the fried rice etc. The floors were absolutely abysmal.I finally chose to sit at a table with the least amount of debris/leftovers on top of it, but to get to the table I had to wade through trash on the floor (consisting of things such as used napkins, plastic forks and knives etc) and had to step over food that messy customers must have spilled off their plates that nobody seemed particularly interested in cleaning up any time soon. In fact I was sitting there for near 35 minutes and not once did anybody come out from behind the counter to wipe down some tables or pick up the trash on the floor.Food? Well, what can I really say about it. It was typical Panda Express food, no better, nor any worse than any other Panda Express. I didnt get sick so thats a plus.This store (franchise maybe?) needs to clean up their act and their store..Update: Went to this store again, still filthy for an eating establishment, but this time I thought Id try their steamed vegetables to try to keep my carbs and sugar under control. I returned to my office and found the vegetables were more raw than cooked, you know the taste you get from a raw stringbean vs a cooked stringbean? Yeah, all the vegetables tasted in their raw state.In my opinion, the corporate office needs to look into this stores best practices and see why the store is so dirty, and why food is undercooked.Another Update:Ordered on-line, arrived at store at designated hour and no food was ready, was told it would be another 10 minutes for the cook to heat up what I had ordered.They seriously need to start calling out to the cook to start heating up more of whatever items is getting low but they dont. This store is just pathetic.

Panda express has excellent food. I dont go often because I think its a little pricey but when I do go I dont waste my time on plates. Its seems more sensible to buy the family deal..my granddaughter loves Panda Express!

Overall, Panda Express will meet your needs. There is usually a line. My three-star review is not a bad review; it just states that this restaurant meets the standard of tolerable dining. The food is ultimately fast food: greasy, full of carbs and fat, and not all that good for you. They have some healthier options, and I try to stick with those.

Review №58

2022-04-17 22:06:16

The food is average, the portions of shrimp are small, they put less than the norm. But the worst thing is the toilet, no paper, no soap, everything is broken. Sadly, customer service is broken.

Review №59

2020-08-16 05:00:03

Ordered through uber days and it took 2 hours for them to prepare my food. I wouldnt even wait that long for food at a sit down restaurant. I wouldve been more understanding if they explained what was going on when I called but they never answered any phone calls.

Review №60

2019-02-23 23:37:31

Awful, rude service. It felt like I was inconveniencing them my by having my family there. Food was as it should be and it was mostly clean but to have someone sweeping under the table while we were eating was annoying. Im sure the one inch noodle and mushroom could have waited until we left. We will not be going back .

Review №61

If you’re looking for the real Asian experience, pass.If you’re looking for a quality fast food restaurant, this will satisfy not only your tummy but pocketbook as well.Ive eaten at several Pandas, as mentioned in previous comments, the consistency between them is amazing.I gave 4 stars to them solely grouping them in the fast food collective.

Review №62

2019-05-23 20:40:53

Food is always tasty, but they really have to keep on top of the food items. Too many times then run out of food and you have to wait for them to cook.some more. This location would run a lot more efficiently if they replenish the food on a more timely basis.

2018-05-11 22:53:06

I love Panda Express! This one is a great location. Close to the freeway. I love how you can see the workers cooking and everything is freshly made. Very yummy. Probably best place to get Chinese in town so far!

So me and my gf went there and ordered our food, we waited for them to finish making more teriyaki chicken. They served people before us and wired 5 additional minutes. Then after eating our food we began to feel nauseous and then vomited. Food was under cooked.

While they do have a pick up, youll have to still go inside to get it. As of right now they are limiting it to 10 people in the store, but that didnt seem to apply to pick-up orders. Still no indoor dining.

Review №66

2018-08-21 02:43:53

Everytime I go to Panda Express theyre always wait time because they are out of two or three items and usually one of them includes the rice or the chow mien noodles. I feel they should never be out, always have a replacement ready. The Panda Express I frequent in Sand City. Thank you.

Gotta do Panda every few weeks. Consistent flavor and busy enough that fresh food arrives often. Kinda loud so always do takeout. Kudos to staff for keeping place clean despite constant traffic.

When I arrived to pick up my order I was told they were out of the selection I had made.I asked if I could have the shrimp and pay for the difference and was declined. I explained I couldnt eat from the selection choices given to me.I ended up paying for and bringing home a dish I did not like.Poor customer service 😒

I tried this place a couple times 6 months ago. Didnt like it then because they were unprofessional and didnt seem to care about the customer. Went back today because I had a visitor that was craving panda. Same people. Still rude. They messed up my order and instead of just fixing it when I told them I was missing something, they all got into a blaming argument over who screwed it up.

Clean fast food, service was polite and efficient. They chowmein was dry and chewy. The Honey Sesame Chicken and Shanghai Steak were both tasty. Potstickers were good too.

I like the food when they get it right, but this location needs to get it together. I visited last night and they were closing at 7:30 PM. The stated hours are supposed to to 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. I have been there before before 7:00 PM and they said, no more teriyaki today. They have filled my order with Chow Mein, when I asked for white rice and fried rice, missed the fortune cookie. They just have it together. Last night when I walked in there was soap all over the floor behind the counter, half of the menu items werent there, or very little of it, not enough for an order. I just left. I wrote Panda and am waiting to see if they reply.

The food there is good but you have to make sure when you get the noodles that you actually get them from the bottom because the ones on top or cold independent sitting near Healy display window and get extra sauce if you want teriyaki chicken other than that everything else is pretty much up to par

Always come here, but today they forgot to put one of my sides in my plate, still got charged&found out once i was home. The workers kept leaving, new ones would come in. I understand they take their breaks, but should keep each other updated on what is going on.

How do I know if they served the correct amount of meat ?I usually have teriyaki chicken so I know how much usually they serve but here the guy who chopped my meat was off with the amount he served but how can I argue with him?

Gave them 2 stars because every time I have been there they have had the items not made yet. Also the cashier has always had a hard time understanding that I do not want a plastic bag. The food is mediocre and gave me a stomach ache

Worst panda in Reno. I ordered two double orang with teriyaki chicken and got only orange chicken. They said they were out of white and brown rice so I said no sides on both and got fried rice. I ordered two drinks and then at the window they said do you want two free drinks but gave us our drinks that we already payed for and no free drinks smh.

Review №85

2018-04-12 01:59:10

The staff is less than friendly and this store is ALWAYS out of white rice. This has happened to us on more than one occasion. How does a Chinese restaurant run out of white rice and take nearly an hour to replenish. This is poor management of product and from the attitudes of the staff, poor leadership.

There are no plant based vegetarian or vegan options. One can get rice, noodles and stemed vegetables which are sides but no entrees without meat. They used to have an Eggplant Tofu entree (only one) dish and it has been eliminated from the menu so Im disappointed.

2020-12-18 00:43:33

This panda is good but it’s often hit or miss when it comes to the freshness of food. And the white rice is never good. But that’s true of most Pandas I think.

Review №117

Better get there before 8 pm, otherwise you get left overs and less than normal portions. By 8:30 pm all chairs are placed on tables and staff are more interested in leaving than helping.

Its good for being a Panda Express. I just wish there was some kind of lines on the floor so people knew where the line was going because people always just block the entrance and more than a line they just form a mass with no clear shape.
