New Panda - Cream cheese was a rock. Had to be a few days old. Terrible is an understatement. Do not go there. - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

Yeah, it's really ridiculous how much food you get. It's not that bad... but now that everything is getting soo expensive, the serving portions is worth the extra star. It's not the fanciest place either, but heck, 80's deco can pass for some tasty food. I generally got the wonton soup which is pretty good. Today I got curry chicken and white rice. My mom and brother shared a combo C. The total cost for both and a drink was $15.37, but there was enough food to feed 5. They load their containers to the brink of collapsible with extra chow mien literally escaping the sides of the containers. When you order a combo, they're soo used to people not wanting fried rice, you can just ask for extra chow mien instead. You also get choice of three entrees under the "steam table." If you REALLY want to be picky and choose the best possible looking food, you can ask for the chef to custom you a plate with shrimp or other meat. The guy has been there FOREVER and will be happy to. My mom and brother really do not care on appearances though, and were happy with the 5pds of Chinese food they got for 6.99. A custom plate would run you $8.50. I'm okay with it because of its genre: not fancy Chinese food, just good food at an awkward location. Note - I do not know if they will do any tofu combination, but next time I go I'll ask because I LOVE tofu curry... read more

Pretty dang close to, no, in fact the WORST Chinese food I've had in my 41 years on this planet. Sweet & sour pork and chicken were terribly dry. Will NOT be returning. Disgusting. Until today, I've never felt compelled to spit out my food into a napkin. UNTIL today. To label this slop inedible is an understatement. Really bad. read more

Love this place! Food is great, amazing noodles, and the curry chicken and curry beef are AMAZING. I came to this place regularly for my local fix of chinese cuisine. Since the quarantine however, besides people getting upset over stupid stuff, the prices have gotten rather steep. A combo B used to be about 7-8 dollars without a card surcharge. Since the quarantine started the price of a simple combo box have gone up a few dollars to 10 dollars a box with an included 60cents....no wait 1 dollar.....no wait 2 DOLLAR card charge. This means whenever you buy food here you get charged an additional 2 dollars making that 10 dollar fill you up tasty meal into 12 dollars if you don't have 11 dollars on hand (with tax after the 10 dollars). This may not seem like a lot, but when you go as much as I do, it starts to add up. The food is really good, but I don't go often now. read more

... yYou guys, this Chinese spot is the king of all Chinese fast foods. If you haven't ate all day and you're trying to feast, they got you. Great hefty portions and fresh food. You will not complain. read more

Been coming to this place for YEARS and I've NEVER been disappointed!!!! The employees are always very sweet and helpful, and the food is always on point!!! The won ton soup is probably the best I've ever had and their orange chicken is absolutely delicious. The servings are huge. Be prepared for leftovers because you will have them. Not only do they offer tasty food but are reasonably priced. What more could you ask for. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

New Panda - Combo B: Beef n broccoli, orange chicken and half n half chow mein and fried rice all for $6 - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

Delicious but gave me food poisoning. I fed the rest to my dog and she got diarrhea. Not enough pepto in the world for a return visit

The amount of food the pack on is definitely more than the price! Love it here. Their food always hits the spot when I want some quick "greasy" food read more

We get food to go there all the time and have done it for a very long time. Their food is delicious and proportions are very large. I believe you get a lot of food for the money. They are always friendly and helpful. Very nice people! I would definitely recommend this business. read more

The fried rice had a very strange almost "buttery" flavor that was disgusting. The fried wontons were burnt to the point where they looked like little hockey pucks. On the plus side the mushroom chicken was good and the BBQ pork . read more

Do you come here for the service? No. Not that's it's bad or anything. What about quality of food? Not really. Don't get me wrong, it's good but it's not 5 star Chinese mandarin good. YOU COME TO NEW PANDA FOR THE MOTHER FUCKIN PORTIONS. HOLY SHIT. THIS RESTAURANT IS THE REASON WHY AMERICA IS OBESE AND I LOVE IT. The dudes behind the counter stuff your plate so hard you think they were in a porno about stuffing things really hard. The prices are NOTHING compared to how much food you get. Dudes, I would drive from south side of Oxnard to EAST FUCKIN VENTURA to get all the Chinese food I could ever eat because fuck Panda Express and their counting small portions ways. Go to this place when you're drunk and or high or if you want to just live the American Dream and eat to your hearts content. read more

The chicken was somehow both mushy and chewy at the same time, difficult to eat and even worse to digest. The experience was like eating shards of hardened shoe leather suspended in jelly. The fried rice was okay. The man behind the counter seemed in a big hurry to get us out the door despite being the only people in the restaurant. He charged me a whopping $2 for using my card, which is the most I've ever seen in any establishment. He swiped my card before I could change my mind and give him cash. Tons of food sitting out in the trays but I never see any customers here, so I kind of doubt he cycles it out regularly. In hindsight, the lack of customers should have been a red flag. I just figured it was because of covid times. $16 for one two entree plate and a drink, and I barely touched my food. I thought maybe putting it in the fridge for a few hours would enhance the consistency of it, but no. It's inedible. Sad. Oh yeah, and the guy wasn't wearing a mask either. Not what you want to see when someone's handling your food. I can't recall if he was wearing gloves or not, I was too blindsided and galled by the $2 credit card fee. Yikes! read more

This place is robbery! Ordered a Combo B $9.99 with 2 items and a large Pepsi = $22.????? Was my damn soda $10??? The food isn't all that either!! Egg rolls were bland, chow mein (ehhhhh) and the server didn't even care to offer soy sauce packets for my to go food!! I don't care to ever try this place out again! read more

I bought the two item combo to go and got the worst orange chicken I've ever had. Dry, tasteless chicken. Tasted like it was cooked last week. I almost wanted to drive back and ask for my money back it was really not worth the drive back. I ordered the mixed vegetables as my second item and the vegetables were soggy and tasteless. This place is a very sorry excuse for Chinese food. read more

This place sucked, sorry to say. Walked in and there was nobody behind the glass to get served, after a good 5-7 minutes of standing there some man sitting at the tables with his phone yelled and said " do u know what you want" thought it was rude and unprofessional, I ordered the chow mein noodle which is not that great, tasted sweet for some reason and the broccoli in the beef and broccoli was Burnt to a brown color, no green vegetables should be served brown. Overall was horrible , the staff and food 2 thumbs down , I write this with my honest opinion. read more

Absolutely delicious. Best service. So nice and great conversation! Really cool guy ! I highly recommend.

Walked out after they tried to charge me 1.99 to use a credit card. Food is already over priced and the credit card fee was ridiculous.

Be hungry Seriously! I heard a dump trunk backing up, as I ordered. Got 2 items plus noodles and fried rice. The styrofoam container couldn't even close. Enough food for several meals, but maybe I got that point across by now... Got the curry and some rib meat. Wouldn't order the rib meat again, but the curry was good. All for $7 plus tax, license and destination fees. read more

Very good food.. been here about 8-9 times... everything was good & i loved it.. great seasoning on food...sometimes we would eat in and sometimes to go...until i went to the restroom!! OMG!! So nasty never going back... SORRY!! but if restroom looks like this,and this is what customers see... i dont want to imagen what it looks like where we are not allowed... where is sanitation department..EWW!Eww! read more

I love this place! My husband and I eat here quite often since the food is outstanding, the service is great and the amount of food they give you is insane! We usually order one combo to split and that is still too much food for the two of us to eat in one sitting. That and their prices are so reasonable. Great fast-food type Chinese restaurant. Best in Ventura. read more

Too tired to cook and craving Chinese food? New Panda is your go to place if you live near the Petit and Telephone crossroad. Affordable and tasty. I wish they had more vegetarian options but I'm quite happy munching on the fried rice and chow mein. Remember to hit the gym after. Cheers! read more

Food was ok. Ordered beef and broccoli and was give 3 pieces of broccoli and 2 pieces of beef. Orange chicken was good. Rice and chow mein were tasty(only reason I'm giving them 3 stars). Price for value is not there. I would find somewhere else to go. read more

Very disappointed . I've been here before and had a decent meal, for lunch and diner. Tonight was very disappointing. I came in here more than an hour before they close. They're chow mein was almost out and didn't look quite appealing. So we kindly asked if they could make more. Since we were going to be taking 3 large plates and all chow mein only. They rudely said no, that they were no longer cooking. And that we could take what they had. They basically offered us the scraps. When they had more than enough time to make more when other fresh dishes were coming out of the kitchen. This is what happens when you leave young stoners in charge of the restaurant. No customer service and very rude staff. Our family will not be coming back to this place. read more

New Panda is terrible. I went in expecting to compare it to Panda Express which is okay but not a high bar to reach. We were hungry and fooled by the good reviews. In my opinion it was very dirty. There were no high chairs which is odd because it shares the parking lot with a kid's gym. The food was terrible and greasy and after 5 minutes we tossed it and went to subway. Subway may not be great but it's predictable. One positive is their staff was friendly. read more

As much as i've been to and enjoyed this place very much in the past, it has become one of my least liked places. I don't live nearby so when I come to that area of town I call my order in so I can grab it on my way home. The last three times I've tried to call the line just rings and rings and no matter how many times I call, I never get an answer. it's very frustrating because if I go straight to the store and place the order, most times I'll spend 20-30 minutes waiting. I try to call ahead of time to avoid that wait but apparently they've decided to stop answering their phone. Too bad because I actually enjoyed some of their food. read more

Negative review went there on a Tuesday at 5pm and man did I receive the worst service ever. Waited 45 min to only get my order wrong I will never ever go to this place again I revote my good review read more

I would not go back to this place again. 1) Food is overpriced for no apparent reason.its greasy oily, all you taste is oil..maybe I am health conscious person, but poeple can do better than this choose place like. 2) I told him to give me smallest chow me in possible for la carte order...When he brought up..He gave me the largest one..charged me for it..I stayed quiet...but the food is waste now...beacause I will never be able to finish it..since I a m not home.So try something else, but not this. ..This is for somebody with very high metabolism. ..definitely not for me. read more

Some of the best orange chicken I have ever had. My first time in I got the Combo C (three entrees and rice or chow mein). Bbq pork, orange chicken and sesame beef.. the serving size was HUGE. I normally eat tons of food and their portions surprised me. The service was super friendly and the food was just outstanding... this is now an instant favorite for me in the area. read more

New Panda - Combo B with Orange Chicken, Kung Pao and half n half (rice and chow mein). Hot, gooey and delicious. - Chinese Near Me - Ventura, California

Huge portions, nice staff, delicious food! I definitely recommend this place. I always go to Panda Express but this tastes more authentic and flavorful. read more

Definitely a fan of this place. Keep dying to go back for the orange chicken. Like everyone else mentioned, this place is a VALUE. They pile on the food. All Orange Chicken and Chow Mein for me SIR! I miss you when I am broke. read more

WOW... probably one of THE DIRTIEST restaurants I have been to in a very very long time. It was actually disgusting. Walked in on New Years Eve (last night), and no one was there. The tables were sticky and one table hadn't even been cleared with old food stuck on the table. 3 people were working an older lady, an older man and a younger mid 40's guy. Not even a smile one of their faces. I wanted to patronize local small business and it was really bad. I asked to use the restroom and he gave me this long coat hanger thing. When I walked into the restroom I have to tell you I thought I was in an old gas station restroom in Compton. Graffiti all etched into the toilet seat, on the walls, and an inch worth of thick gooey grime everywhere. I didn't want to touch anything. The floor of the restaurant itself and the baseboards looked like this as well. I thought if the front looks like this God knows what the back kitchen looks like. It was literally gross! The food was not good either. The egg rolls were so oily I actually had to spit it out. Tasted like it soaked up too much oil. The chow mein literally has a puddle of oil in it at the bottom. All I tasted was that dirty oil taste when they reuse oil over and over, (like some donut shops taste. It's a distinct taste). The orange chicken was hard like it had been cooked way early then re-heated. Not fresh and melt in your mouth. The beef broccoli was chewy meat, and soggy broccoli. They will not make it if they do not clean up their act! Literally. It doesn't take but $30 to paint a bathroom, change out a toilet seat and keep the place clean. And this was NOT new graffiti. Had been there a long time. Regardless... this is not LA... this is a nice neighborhood in Ventura. read more

I have been coming here for several years! There is no better Place around! I have also lived in woodland hills and tried to find a similar place but nothing could satisfy my New Panda palate! Wonderful staff, generous portions, and the best Chinese food I have ever had!! read more

My favorite Chinese food place they have the best portion sizes for your money and the best bbq pork I've ever had!

Pros, Cons, the summary PROs--5 stars--Biggest reason is they are very, very generous with their portions. Plenty of grease and such, but I don't care, I want delicious food. All of their options are good, and you get plenty of them!! I usually get it to go. For the amount of food, it is very cheap too. I always go here when I need a Chinese food fix. CONS--No real complaints.....what you see is what you get here. Will I be back? Hell yes, they pile on the food and this place is bang-for-your-buck. You'll get your $$ worth and then some. read more

Chinese food is good. Service is always fast and hospitable. Serving sizes are the reason I keep coming back. The server don't stop until he cannot close the lid of the to-go box. It's glorious. Food * * * * Price * * * * * Food Scooping Skills * * * * * Overall * * * * * read more

So happy I came here their chow mien is sooooo delish! And it seems as tho the sesame chicken is pretty popular I did order it but got the last of the batch so some pieces were a little tough to bite on. But the flavors were delish GREAT PORTIONS! I will go back for the chow mien noodles and the portions it was good take out. We need something like this in Santa Barbara. read more

Hadn't been here since my college years but I was in the area and was craving their chow-mein. I remembered how they served a ton of food in their to go plates and they did not disappoint. One plate is definitely sharing size. It's not by all means the best Chinese food ever, but it's comforting and satisfies your cravings. Place was clean and service was great. The owner seemed to know everyone that came in. He was very friendly and outgoing, made you feel at home. read more

Yeah blah blah blah to all you haters and wannabe critics that didn't give them 5 stars. For what you pay you get about two meals for the price of 1, so much food. Go and check it out I hightly recommend it. read more

You get what you pay for. I got the two item combo. Chow mein, rice, orange chicken, and BBQ pork. Pork was barely warm, orange chicken was crunchy and greasy. Everything was super salty. I did get a lot of food, but threw away over half of it. I was super hungry that's why I ate almost half of it. I definitely would pick Panda Express over this place. Unless you like low quality Chinese food, I wouldn't go here. read more
