Panda Express

Good services and kind. Also thank you so much Judy for wait for me. Ur the best! :)

Yep, it’s panda express! Nothing significantly different from other locations in aspect of food kind and its taste. Just okay overall. Staffs are not sweet but absolutely fast to satisfy customers in a long line as sending back in a second. Good job!

Haven’t ate at Panda for almost a cool decade. Today I decided not to be cool. There’s a reason why Panda is the McDonalds of Chinese Food places. Food was dry and chewy. Overpriced. You get only 1 soy sauce and 1 hot sauce, if it was complimentary it would be on the tables. Slow staff. They don’t hook it up. Took me 20 minutes just to get to the counter. Don’t waste your time and money when there’s authentic chinese literally footsteps away.

Fantastic Chinese food! It’s always so busy but the line moves quick! They have great customer service! Always see smiling faces!!! I like that about here! Price is always good for all the food you get. No complaints for sure!

The place is inside the Pavilion, a market place looks pretty big. Thank you for the red envelop for Chinese New Year! Thank you for the free food item comes with the envelop.

The employees here basically want you in and out as fast as possible without any customer service whatsoever. No smile and hardly heard the lady greet. There was barely a line too. Just an awkward furrow of the eyebrows thinking «Huh? Alright then». Same ol’ Panda Express taste and food. No customer service or any emotion coming from any employee when I went.

I frequent this panda location the most because it’s the closest one to me around the temple city/​Arcadia area.
Like all px, the food is decent, typical American-​Chinese food. Some of their dishes have the proper elements, but doesn’t have the same taste as an authentic Chinese restaurant.
They add a lot of sauce, salt, and flavoring to the food. It’s also very greasy, so I try not to eat here too often.
The price tag is very attractive at just around $ 7 for a two item combo. My usual order would be half rice/​half noodles with broccoli beef and string bean chicken. Sometimes I like substituting the rice and noodles for all vegetables. Gets a little redundant in the greens department, but it’s healthy.
My main gripe is that a lot of their dishes are put out for too long and doesn’t look very appetizing. You can see the oxidation in the veggies and the lifeless look of them. Limp, brown, and soggy!
I know I could probably ask them to make a new batch but that would take 10 – 15 minutes and I’m usually in a rush to get in and out.
I don’t mind that the food isn’t authentic, I would just like everything to be more fresh. With that being said, I’d probably still return because I’m not picky when it comes to food.
Also, they don’t accept coupons or vouchers; you’d have to go to the Santa Anita mall location to redeem those.

When I’m hungry… really really hungry… my mind is only on three places: Chipotle, In-​n-​out, and Panda Express.
I always get the old lady and she always overfills the container. Which is a GOOD thing. She’s real friendly and tries to make small talk with everyone. I’ve been in line with some really ugly customers that aren’t clear in their instructions and get angry. It amazes me how old lady can be consistently cheerful in this customer service job after all the crap that gets dumped on her.
Old lady needs to get a raise.

There was a recent remodel inside this Pavilions where Panda Express is located. Now there is a nicer and inviting eat-​in area. And they carry the famous Panda passion– fruit iced tea which I love.
–1 they don’t accept Panda Express gift cards yet they do accept Vons gift cards. Even though it sounds like they are part of Vons, they still will not let you pay for any groceries at their register nor pay for your food later when you’re done shopping. They used to and it was super convenient.
–1 Service is inconsistent. They have improved a lot since my last review but if you get either old lady you still will be annoyed with small portions and the feeling of being rushed.
Overall a good Location to visit and even a good place to sit down and eat.
Tip: It’s inside Pavilions. You need to ask for Sauce packets or chopsticks.

I go to this particular establishment on a regular basis to get my fill of legitimate fake Chinese food and, out of all the Panda Expresses I’ve had, this is the best bar none. The service is pretty wonderful (I used to always get this enthusiastic older Asian woman), food is always fresh (never had food poisoning here), and the portions they give are large. Sometimes I don’t ask for more because they give so much. My favorite is the eggplant tofu and I’m lucky because fewer people choose it. Really good to get a quick fix.

This location has been a lifesaver many hungry days. It is inside the Pavillions which makes a trip to the store seem useless, i think to myself «why buy all this to make food when it’s already ready for me right there!»
My only grip with this location is they switch out the entrees. Some days I go and they do not have what I want. Imagine that, your taste buds are preparing for something specific and you get there and they don’t have it. Its the worst. Now I call ahead to see if they have what I want. When they don’t I go over to the one at the mall. (I eat Panda A lot)
The workers are always very nice. food usually seems fresh and if it doesn’t you can wait for a new batch. Another thing that makes this location different is the receipts. They do not give you the normal Panda receipts with a survey thing on the back, they are generic Pavillions receipts.

Love this place, Judy is a nice manager there! It is good fast food Chinese I always get the Kung pao chicken, orange chicken but everything is good!

Panda Express!!! One of the better Panda chains. It’s located inside the Pavilions. Seems to always have a few people in line. Food always tastes good. The fried rice and noodles have that definite «Wok» taste. Worth it if you are in the area and are craving some fast food Chinese.

this is the closest panda express if you’re in temple city, that and it’s in the same plaza as la fitness means I’m always here.
this one used to suck because they didn’t have string bean chicken because they claimed it was «out of season» even though every other panda express had it.
they are also sneaky to only put large and medium cups up to make you think those are your only choices. don’t be fooled you can order a small!
other than that this is just standard panda express and I’m just writing reviews to get a Unilocal badge.

The food here is decent. The prices are fine with me. Service is pretty fast. They always run out of chow mein everytime I go and I would have to wait a couple of minutes. Other than that, it’s not bad.

when i saw this panda express i was really excited… imagine my disappointment when i realized they didnt serve actual panda. i was looking forward to eating some of that juicy, tender, endangered panda steak. after arguing for about 10 minutes with the lady behind the counter… i decided to get a 2 entrée meal. i swear i saw a worker go into the back with a sack that said «panda chow»…
i first had to choose between rice and chow mein. i went with the chow mein. shit looked damn good. now i get to pick my entrees. they had many choices… orange chicken, mandarin chicken, mushroom chicken, kung pao chicken, potato chicken, black pepper chicken, sweet and sour chicken, sweetfire chicken, string bean chicken, cashew chicken… wait… those are ALL CHICKEN. this place serves 10 different types of chicken… and not a single panda based dish.
i went with the kung pao chicken… i figure he was the hardest to capture because of the implied ninja skills in the name. my second entrée was BBQ pork. it looked really good… it was red… like communism.
overall it was a bit of a let down. the food is ok at best. adding panda to the menu would make this place a daily trip for me… until then, it is a sign of shame and disappointment for the chinese people.

Despite what parents and some other people usually say… the stuff in this location is quite decent. I’m pretty much okay with any item here since I’ve tried everything at least once (as far as I can remember).
It’s not too cheap compared to the actual asian food court on the other side but it’s okay I guess. It’s good enough to make me come here perhaps once every 2 – 3 weeks.

Located inside Pavilions, Panda Express is one of the few Chinese niches I eat at. Yes, Panda Express is essentially sacrilegious, but I err on the side of conventionally trite Chinese food.
This is the very kind of meal that I mentally club myself over and the kind that I physically punish myself over the next day at the gym. I try to justify the whole thing by getting all steamed veggies versus rice or chow mein.
I usually order my 2 entrée plate and take it home to feast on, but if hunger proves too much then feel free to ravage your kung pao chicken at one of the dirty tables offered nearby. And while you’re at it, help yourself to some reading material at the checkout stand to compliment your lunch/​dinner.
Orange chicken samples, fortune cookies, grocery shopping afterwards… love it.
