    Panda Express Carlsbad , This is one of my favorite Chinese food spots because of the wide variety of dishes. I usually order the Honey Walnut Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, Beijing Beef, and Orange Chicken. Honestly, I like almost everything on the menu. The staff here are always friendly, kind, and very helpful, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable. My family often comes here when we can't decide what to eat for dinner. Parking is spacious and very easy to find. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5

    The Management is OK, but unfortunately, every time that my family and I come in, there's a long wait time for the side items. The rice is either cold or crunchy..... they can do better!!

    This panda Express is clean, awesome service, swift employees while also being kind The portions are very well mannered and food is fresh and hot You can tell they get more foot traffic than other panda expresses in the area I will be calling this panda express my new location because the experience was better than other locations

    This is a box not a bowl

    Where to begin here.. absolutely awful location. Upon walking in there is a huge pool of water right by the door and I almost slipped. Should have just left then and there and staff wouldn't have even noticed. No greeting or anything when entering, staff were too busy preparing orders (possibly for catering?). This was before 11 AM as well when it should be completely dead and while there were only a couple people inside staff looked busy but also we're extremely slow paced and I stood first in line for 5 minutes without even being acknowledged. Finally when it was my turn staff were terrible listeners. This location is super weird. It's big inside, but that is the best thing going for it and the only good thing really. Then when I asked for a bowl I got a box and not a bowl. When asking for utinsils I got a cheap wooden fork. I don't know if they have to do this because it's Carlsbad or something, but no other Panda express does this, even in Encinitas and Del Mar. The food is not worth the price at all. Staff was slow and clueless and lacked any sense of priority. Overall the worst panda express I've been to and I asked for a refund.

    Worlds Smallest 2 item combo

    Please take a moment to look at the photo I posted. Is that not the most mid 2 item combo you've ever seen. And the crazy part is it looks better than it tastes. I ordered a side of cream cheese wontons and they were cold, chewy, and smelled like old socks. I even signed up for their stupid rewards program and they still skimped me. The only "reward"I got was food poisoning. I'm unsubscribing/deleting/unfollowing/boycotting panda. The last time I came to this location I saw a lady literally shit her pants right next to the soda machine... was it from the orange chicken? WE DONT KNOW! looking back I should have seen the signs...that's it...this is the final straw. You'll never see me again. You're better off going next door and getting a mystery meat sandwich from Jersey Mikes.
