Panda Express

A hour before closing and they have nothing prepared and they stopped cooking due to them closing in a hour and all remaining food has been sitting for god knows how long. NOT HAPPY!

This Panda Express is really good. We usually go there around 5 PM usually for take-​out. The service is good, place is clean, food was fresh. As far as portions, we have never had small portions. They are generous and give us plenty to eat.

This location used to be really good. I’m sad to say it’s not so good anymore. The food tastes great, it’s not the cook’s fault… But management is stingy. Often there’s not much food prepared and when you get your order they’re very stingy on what they give.
I ordered the entrée with steamed rice and noodles and Kung pao chicken and orange chicken.
Got home and noticed there were only three pieces of chicken in the Kung pao. And some nuts and veggies.
I counted the orange chicken, only 6 pieces.
All I thought was: «Really?»
Barely anything. Other Panda Express locations offer real food portions. The way they’re supposed to be. But sadly not this location.
Management: if you cut back portions you’re going to loose customers…
Look at your ratings?!

The took forever to bring out a lot of the food… as more people came in they still continued to make small potions of the food… this will be the last time I will be coming here

Every time I go in around 8:30pm — 8:40pm I find that hardly any food is left and I am always told the chef refuses to cook this close to closing time (which is supposed to be 9:00pm). The first couple of times I believed it, but after THIS many times it sounds like it’s either a well rehearsed scheme employee’s use to go home faster, or Panda Express doesn’t allow it’s employee’s enough time for the closing duties expected of them so employees begin their closing duties during open hours. Either way, I’ve seen MANY unsatisfied customers fighting and arguing with employees about this while others have just simply walked out. Is this just the Panda Express in Santa Paula, CA or does this happen at Panda Express everywhere else? While I’m not important enough to inconvenience the chef to cook the meal I came in to pay for, the server girl did offer us a 10% discount to compensate and admitted that the chef should still be cooking our requests. While thats a nice gesture, I’d rather pay full price for what I asked for than get a 10% discount on the weird combination of whatever is left.
Panda Express, if your going to allow your cooks to choose your hours of operation, then at least give us the courtesy of posting your closing hours as 8:30pm to more accurately reflect when we can place an order.

Nice location, but the Customer service is bad. They ran out of all the most popular food choice at dinner time. The servers are rude and unfriendly. They make customer wait for food and then forget they have a customer waiting. Think twice before going here again.

Came here sunday 11.16.14 at 830. Over half of the food was put away. Asked if they were closing up and the server said, «it depends.» Posted closing time is 10. Wtf? Why did I try again? The worst panda ever!

Not a bad location, as it can be seen from the road, and the service is decent. I have had better food from other panda express locations, but its not horrible. Parking is easy to find.

Worst service in the world. Rude and unwelcoming… I felt as though we were being rushed out the door and the servers didn’t want to take the time to get our orders right. I can not tell you just how horrible this experience was. I have had better, and more considerate service at a McDonalds drive through… That’s how bad it was.

Took my team there for after tournament dinner and they had cleaned up all the food 17 minutes before closing time.
This is totally unacceptable. Either post accurate closing times or close shop and get the heck out of Santa Paula.
I will never visit this Panda Express again.

It’s alright. They have gotten better, at least now there food is in stock, when they first opened nothing was ever ready. It’s typical Panda Express quality. Nothing special, it’s clean and fast. Can’t ask for anything more.

This was a really nice location. It is easy to see from the road with plenty of parking. The inside was quiet and clean, and the staff were all friendly. Even close to closing, they still had plenty of items to choose from, and they have later summer hours!
The only strange thing I noticed is that there wasn’t a single Asian person working there… not that it matters or anything, just an interesting observation — probably just a reflection of the area we are in.

This place refuses to stock sugar packets. Weird.

Panda Express is my favorite fast food. The smell of the chow mein and orange chicken make me hungry even after I had lunch. I could not resist so I got a bowl with orange chicken.
The staff are very quick. Place was neat.
