Server and cook
Robert S.

I visit this Panda Express every two days because it's the only local fast food place that consistently served fresh food, and they offered brown rice, which was a major plus. When I came in today to order my usual, I was disappointed to learn that they no longer serve brown rice. Despite the letdown, I decided to stay since I was hungry. I noticed there wasn't much Beijing Beef on display, and what was there didn't look appetizing. I asked the server helping me if more was being prepared, and she confirmed that it can be, though it would be a wait. Fresh food is worth waiting for, so I didn't mind. However, just 30 seconds into my wait, an order was placed on the bar to be added to the service line. As the server turned to pick it up, she accidentally knocked the tray to the floor, along with everything around it. Both the cook and the server were visibly shocked. The server promptly grabbed a broom and mop to clean up the mess. While sweeping, she picked up the dishes and took them to the back, all except for a measuring cup, which she left near the station where ingredients to each dish is kept. Concerned, I discreetly took a picture of the measuring cup to remind her not to forget it, as a few more guests had walked in. To my dismay, the cook then picked up that same measuring cup and began using it to prepare the ingredients for the Beijing Beef. He paused, seemingly remembering that it had fallen on the floor, and looked up at me, then quickly looked away. At that point, I left the store and will not be returning. What started as a simple mistake left me questioning everything about the cleanliness and food safety at this location.

Build Your Own Plate - 1 Full Side

Ive gotten the rice 2 times now burnt. Very nasty and wasteful. I always get the same thing, double orange and half rice and half noodle. Recently they've been burning the rice so I can't enjoy one of my fav entrees.

rangoons NO SAUCE!!! what a nightmare!!!!
Daniel R.

I just ordered the cream cheese rangoons and they forgot the sweet and sour sauce rendering the whole point of cream cheese rangoons MOOT. What now? i cant go back it's too late- they'll be ice cubes by the time i get back! WHERES MY SAUCE!

Rip off 7 bucks small shrimps not even filed WTF? 8/4/19
Peach N.

ZERO STARS! August 04. 2019 Well being it's my birthday it was ruined by the nasty food we got here! We always stop here and I have gotten the walnut shrimp many times here. So today I ordered my walnut shrimp and upon opening it carton it appears to not be full for the 7 bucks we paid? I noticed the shrimps were pewny not the larger ones as we had at every Panda location? This is the real ass kicker those jerks had the audacity to put old shit topped off with a few shrimps. After the first shrimp I noticed they were hard dried old with tails still attached. Then I poured out the shrimps and all the breading was soggy and gloppy a mess. They pour that sweet sauce all over them so they were mushy. I will never return to this location ever again, they should be ashamed serving such garbage I hope I don't get sick I only ate a couple so hopefully I am good PEOPLE SKIP THIS PLACE SAVE YOUR MONEY $$$"$"

Dirty Broccoli!
Pykee C.

Ordered a meal with Super Greens dish and found a Broccoli that still had dirt on it. Told and showed it to the manager who says "ok", made a tiny apology and offered to replace the same dish but refused it because it's the same batch. Lesson learned...avoid this location and never eat at any Panda Express ever again! because it's true - the bigger they grow, the standards go low.

Family Meal for 2 is a great deal! Ordering online was easy…read moreand the food was ready right when it was supposed to be. When I walked in, the woman in the front was actually calling me at that moment to let me know our order was ready. You get an INSANE amount of food for two people with the meal deal. 2 entrees, 2 pc of fried shrimp, 2 pc eggrolls, a large container PACKED with fried rice, and a large container of the most delicious and comforting wonton soup. We got the Family Delight, Kung pao chicken, and We added a third entree so we could try the noodles. The third entree definitely wasn't necessary for just two people we now have leftovers for at least three days. The food was hot, ready when expected, packaged nicely, and delicious! We're so satisfied with this and will definitely be getting the meal for 2 again. I am seriously so surprised at how much they pack food into these containers! They're not stingy with takeout at all!

We ordered takeout since it's conveniently located next to our gym and there was very little wait when they opened at 11:30 am. The food didn't take long to prepare (about 20-25 minutes) and still tasted warm and fresh when it arrived home. The servings are large, but white rice was not included with the entrees. The restaurant is clean and easy to locate in this shopping complex. The staff is very attentive to phone orders, and even prioritized taking a phone order ahead of me, even though I showed up first. Their service is hit and miss, but food is consistently tasty. Much better than ordering from a fast food Chinese restaurant. Give them a shot if you have patience and like freshly cooked Chinese food.

This little restaurant is amazing, absolutely love that it's stuck around on CSU Channel Islands'…read morecampus for so long. When I was a student here, I often frequented Mom Wong's or Tortillas and they're still here which is incredible. Mom Wong's is very student-friendly prices as well. Each dish pictured here was about $10-12 and the portions are huge! Seriously, if I was still a student here I'd be going here every week because I'd have enough food for three days. Now for the quality of the food... each dish was great. The chow mein, which included chicken and shrimp, was awesome. Seasoned nicely and not too greasy. The orange chicken, which looked and tasted a bit more like sweet and sour chicken (not mad about that!), was also very good and retained its crispiness. The fried rice, which is what my wife ordered, was good, kinda soy sauce heavy but it had a nice flavor overall. (Tbh idk why but I've never been a huge fan of fried rice).

Suddenly, I wanted to eat dumplings, and I decided to try here…read more It's located in the back of CSUCI. At first, I didn't think there was a restaurant there. Inside the restaurant, the ambiance is casual. I ordered the Juicy pork dumpling($10.99 ) and Milk tea with boba ($4.49). The dumplings were very juicy and a little sweet. That would be nice if they had some ginger slices and black vinegar for the dumplings. About boba tea, it's good. I prefer the tea to be stronger. Boba tea was warm, which means it's fresh, but needed more ice. They always serve in to-go containers. This place is good for friends, couples, and families. Parking is in front of the restaurant.

I like the house special braised pork belly which is a caramelized and salty meat in a pot. Delicious with copious amounts of white rice. Some of my favorite items to get at this place are: -Stir fried intestines - these are cooked with spices and numbing pepper. The intestines taste like they were deep fried and have a crunch to them. -Mushroom medley - 3 different types of mushrooms in a brown sauce and some type of white meat. -Beef rolls - sliced beef inside a flaky savory pancake with hoisin sauce and cilantro This is a great spot for Hunan-style dishes that have the complex smoky, spicy, and numbing spice flavors. I'd go for those dishes over more traditional fried rice, beef and broccoli type Chinese food.

The Ordering Experience:…read more Ordered via GrubHub, but disappointed to find staples like Peking Duck, Dan Dan Noodles, and Shrimp Dumplings missing from the online menu? Broccoli Shrimp ($19): The broccoli was perfectly steamed, but the shrimp were a letdown Instead of the expected jumbo/large size, they were small (51-60 count) and lacked flavor Also, the peas and carrots felt out of place in this dish Spring Rolls: Crispy and worth the price! (Note: They were served with ketchup?, so have your own chili crisp ready) Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables (The Star!): Absolutely delicious Perfectly textured pork with just the right amount of fat-not too heavy or falling apart Even with the overcooked vegetables, this is a "must-order" again The Verdict: Good flavors on the traditional dishes; just wish the shrimp size matched the price point!
