We got to go orders a few weeks ago. It was around 4pm on a Thursday. The parking surprisingly wasnt bad which is not normally the case at this location. Everything wouldve been fine if they had gotten my order correct and if the workers were nice. The ladies that helped me were less then friendly and just rushing everyone eventhough they werent busy at the time. I had to wait an extra 8 minutes for Beijing Beef only for them to give me a chicken dish instead on error 😒

I hate that they mix in the old food with the belly cooked food. I got Orange chicken, half was perfect and the other half you could tell was old because it was luke warm and the breading had become mushy. The servers dont slow down long enough to get your order correct and they just dont seem friendly at all.

If you order online, check your food before leaving.I ordered half and half (rice and chow mein) it was mostly rice with chow mein covering the right side of the rice.Also ordered teriyaki chicken and beef broccoli. Most of it was chicken and one small scoop of broccoli and one piece of beer covering the right side of the chicken.0 stars if possible. 👎

Found a long blond hair in my daughters food. It was wrapped in the noodles. And I’m completely disgusted! I work in food services and finding hair means that someone was careless!!!! Please make sure your customers are more careful so this doesn’t happen again

Their prices keep increasing. Yesterday 5/11/23 it cost me $12.71 for a bowl with mainly chow mien, veggie which was most hard cabbage and onions, and the silllzling shrimp which consisted of 5 small shrimp. Ridiculous! I’m never going back to Panda Express, it’s a big ripoff.

Food was very fresh, the restaurant was clean and the crew members were very friendly and helpful. If youre looking for something light or are watching your carbs/fat, would recommend a small bowl with the green bean chicken and steamed rice! Very delicious and filling!

From the moment I walked in I felt very welcomed with a happy hello from every staff member there. The staff there were very cheerful to make my already great day even better! Hats off to the Chefs there making delicious amounts of selectioned food items as well as the cashier Cynthia for making my visit an upmost pleasant one. YOU GUYS ROCK!

Quick Take Out for dinner because it has been hot and I didnt to cook. I placed my order online and scheduled pick up time. Online ordering is easy and saves time. We ordered the family meal which included: Chow Mien, Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Beijing Beef, Veggie Spring Rolls. Portions were gracious and still priced favorably. Check out Panda at the Promenade Shopping Center in Cerritos near Target-West.

Tonight, was the worst dinner ever! I ordered chow mein and orange chicken. I ordered another bowl, as well, but that one wasnt that bad. The chow mein was hard and dry. My boyfriend didnt even eat it! I wasted money, time, and gas! Come on Panda, get it together! You guys have a good name for yourselves, dont mess it up now.

2022-11-29 04:36:43

Disgusting! There is not a single item on their menu without added sugar the poison of the 21st century. Sugar is the cheapest most dangerous ingredient 2nd to MSG added to food. No wonder Americans cant lose and keep weight off. Panda ought be ashamed of themselves especially wheb they didnt start out like that. No respect for health of their Patrons

Review №18

2022-02-11 22:49:25

Horrible customer service. they gave me the scraps from their chow mein, broccoli beef and teriyaki chicken. not to mention the cashier with an attitude so disgusting, her makeup couldn’t cover that up. she scoffed when i asked for teriyaki sauce and once again when i asked for straws. i dont recommend coming here solely because their customer service attitude is beyond disgusting.

This place is the worse place that Ive been to. No cookies, no ice, cut back on servings. Go somewhere else and get better service than this place. Youll be much happier.

Ive been going here for almost 5 years, the staff that work here, never fail to impress. Been ordering in person, via the app, and through delivery services. Have yet to have any issues with my orders thus far.E.G. Spills, damage, quality issues, etc.

I ordered Postmates from this particular Panda Express and we all know Postmates isnt the best app when it comes to customizing your order. So what I did was call them immediately after I placed my order. I specifically wanted a plate with double chow mein and double orange chicken. Postmates will not let you do that. So I had no choice but to put chow mein and rice, orange chicken and some type of beef. When I called I said I just placed an order on Postmates but Id like to add special instructions they said of course what name is it under? I told them my name and proceeded to say ignore the rice and beef, its double chow mein and double orange chicken please, Postmates wont let me modify they said of course no problem. The food was correct when it came and of course it was amazing. I wasnt sure my plan was going to work, but thanks to the workers that took the time to hear me out, it ended up great. Thank you guys!

I waited 27 minutes to make my order and finally get the food. There were 3 people in line in front of me. Due to Covid there were restrictions on walking inside. They only 3 people working, I waited outside and the girl kept calling the wrong number it wasn’t the one I had but it was my order. The honey sesame chicken was cold, the angus beef was also cold. And they didn’t even put a fortune cookie inside the bag. Awful place... I won’t ever go there again.

Food was fresh, and food was constantly made. Long lines during dinner, so be prepared for a wait.

Review №24

Food is always old and I waited over 15 min to get my order while my friend finished his meal so I gave up and the, female manager was worthless.

Same old same old but still good Asian cuisine. New items are always popping up so might be worth a try every few months.

I want a manager to call me or email ASAP . I had my three kids buy their own food. But my son was told he couldn’t get more noodles in his bowl because he had to get rice . Of course I didn’t realize this until we got home and I asked him why did he get so little .This is really bad service every time I come to this place is something. I need the manager to call me

Went in last night around 930. I needed veg fried rice without egg for my mom. Anthony was taking my order and asked the lady(manager, maybe) said they dont make it and cant do any special requests The lady told Anthony, if he wants to, then go in the kitchen and make it himself, no one else is going to make it now.Anthony went ahead in the kitchen and made me a veg fried rice without egg. Now thats what I call great customer service.Anthony you rock!

Orange chicken was hard probably from the day before.

Credit/Debt card users be aware! The employees swipe your card twice without your knowledge and authorization. It blocks your transaction on the bank’s end and causes your card to decline, even though you have over $200 in the account. I had to call the bank in order to unblock my card and pay with cash. I’ve never had any credit card issues at Panda Express so this was by far the worst one ever. The food is good but the employees are not and incompetent of transactions. So again, be aware!

My experience at this location was awful. I placed a catering order by phone 2 days before and I paid. When I arrived they had no vlur I placed an order, they wanted me to order again and pay again. It took 45 minutes for them.not give ne an order i placed 2 days before. It was awful experience

Great food, clean open atmosphere. Staff is always friendly. Depending on time of day parking is a bit of a hassle. Theres 3 others within 5 miles of my home and I like this one the best.

There Panda server/cashier last night served me the Kung Pao chicken and chow Mein without chicken. This is the second time I go to there and the 2nd time they mess up. First time I asked for 2 entrees in each order and when I got home, there was only one entree in one order. They dont take pride in their job. Seems like theyre always in a hurry. Chow mein noodles were very tasty.

Really like this panda..but today was different. I was really wanting orange chicken and what they had at 11am was a sad batch is what the employee called it. When I asked if there was more sauce or if I can get some extra as this batch is dry and had hardly any on it and she says I know it usually does but couldnt even give me a little thing of extra orange chicken sauce..pretty sad.

The food is DELICIOUS. If you see a lady name Jessica say hi and she will give you a free chocolate chip cookie. There bathrooms are very nicely cleaned. Try the orange chicken with fried rice and ramen noodles it’s soooooooooooooooooooo good.

I love Panda Express. Been eating there for years. Sad to see the rise in prices when i can now go to the independents and get an enormous plate for less and having been forced to retire from the VA Hospi due to ageism im now living on a fixed income. So i must go for the deals.

This place has horrible customer service! I asked for extra becuase the young lady serving my food was skimping me! She proceeded to give a reason why versus just adding more food, at the end of the day Im paying for the food! Charge me if you need to instead of giving me attitude on why I cant have more. Ill never come back to this location

Friendly staff, decent prices, good portions. Sometimes I feel bad because the staff seems to be a little stressed out but it seems to be because they are eager to make the client happy and they are always very busy.

Uncaring and irresponsible during this pandemic, I picked up my food, asked for packets of chili 3 times when finally some one helped me and gave me a handful of packets...dropping them in my bag with acknowledgement of sorry for the wait...got home and all packets were soy sauce. So disappointed.

As the description says: simple chinese fast food chain ...Above average meals for the price. Those of you who want something for nothing, please stay at home and bother the government. Sweet-fire chicken and teryaki chicken with rice and vegetables, $7 ..you will not find a better meal for that price within the fast food world. Enough said.

My little ones favorite Chinese food, only eats broccoli with rice....I know its odd but Im happy he eat broccoli 🥦

Review №51

2021-05-13 23:55:56

The whole purpose of ordering ahead thru the app is so that the food will be ready by the time I get there, NOT have to wait in line for almost 15 extra minutes behind people who walked in for my food to be ready.

Panda anda me! Anda you, too! Even you, bro!When I want something hot, fast & fresh, I head to Spearmint Rhino. Oops, uh, er, sorry, Freudian slip. What I meant to say was I head to Panda Express.Broccoli beef, green bean chicken, eggplant tofu & Beijing beef - those are the usual suspects for me. I whip out my receipt w/ the code, entitling me to a free entree to go along with my 2-item combo w/ fried rice and its chowtime.I was a little perturbed when Panda Express replaced fried white rice w/ fried brown rice awhile ago, but Im glad the big muckamucks saw the error of their ways and brought back the OG fried rice. Yeah, brown rice has fiber, but it also has phytins, which are antinutrients. Phytins block the absorbtion of nutrients in the GI tract, causing leaky gut syndrome.This Panda Express location has always been clean & and very convenient for me, due to its close proximity. The staff during my latest visit were especially friendly from start to finish. They even obliged me when I ask for more rice and extra fortune cookies. Because having one fortune just isnt enough ;pThe line usually goes by quick & Im in n out in no time. Tables & stool seating for those looking to dine in. Parking is located at the Cerritos Promenade, which can be hard to come by. I suggest parking near Island Pacific to find a spot.Located very closeby, there is another Panda Express across the street in the Los Cerritos Center. But, for some reason, the food doesnt taste the same. When I want Panda, I go here.Not a date spot, not a hoity toity white tablecloth restaurant, Panda Express is one of my favorite places to go for a quick meal that I dont feel bad about eating.The World Wildlife Fund would approve ;pRecommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

The girls were very friendly, but the cooks were terrible, the food was raw and it took them 15 minutes to give me my Chao Ming order, its a shame about such a nice place, Im a panda express lover but now Im leaving disappointed
