I usually don't bother to post something negative, and this location is usually spot on, but this Panda location messed up my lunch order through the app. I was really looking forward to eating my order with chowmein, however I received plain white rice ;( 2 stars because the staff was nice & accommodating. read more

Last time I came, the food wasn't hot. Well I'm back again. The chicken was hot. The noodles and the rice were both almost cool, not in a good way. I think what they do is when the noodles and rice get low they cook more and then they take what's left and throw them on top. Well, I got what was left over for the noodles and the rice and it's supposed to be served hot and taste really good. It didn't taste good today. Now it is nighttime and it's still in my refrigerator uneaten. This is really disappointing because I used to like eating here and now I dread it. read more

What's up with the low star ratings on Panda Express? What's not to like about PE? Some dishes are made to order, the stir fry wok is always cooking and the food is fresh. It's not traditional Chinese food but it's freshly made with good options and fairly healthy. Prices are very reasonable and service is just fine. I don't understand why people rip on PE. It's not a fair assessment at all. PE is always my option when needing something fast to eat or running thru the airport hungry. I took off 1 star bc today (at this location) there were only 4 dishes available for purchase. Well, it is New Years Eve and they are closing early. 4/5 RECOMMEND read more

This place was pretty clean considering I got there close to closing time. The guy who helped me with my entrées was pretty cool and outgoing. Can't go wrong with the orange chicken. To be honest, I don't know what orange chicken is supposed to really taste like. I just know that I always have to compare it to the panda express orange chicken because they said the tone with what I think it's supposed to taste like. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

Panda Express continues to excel! At being consistent, at least lol. Of course, you're not going to get authentic Chinese food at Panda Express, but for the convenience and the price point, I'm fairly satisfied for what it is. You can find this Panda Express at Cerritos Promenade on the northeast corner of South and Gridley. Please make a careful note of this location if you're ordering online or trying to look up the location on Google Maps. There is also a Panda Express inside Los Cerritos Center just on the other side of Gridley, and I'm certain someone out there, either a local or a visitor from out of state, may place an order at either Cerritos location and go to the wrong one. Luckily, they're pretty close to one another, but with how congested parking can be in this part of town, it can still be a headache to navigate through their respective parking lots. I was passing by the area on a Saturday early afternoon and wanted to treat myself to a Panda Plate. Between the two locations, this one has the Beyond Original Orange Chicken whereas the Cerritos mall location does not. Beyond Original Orange Chicken is pretty much self-explanatory: Original Orange Chicken, but made with Beyond Meat, which is plant-based. It's a premium entree, which would incur a $1.50 upcharge. The other premium entrees at this location are the Black Pepper Sirloin Steak and the Honey Walnut Shrimp, I had already tried the Black Pepper Sirloin Steak before, but not the Honey Walnut Shrimp, so I went with Honey Walnut Shrimp as my other entree. For a plate, you can choose a side or go half and half. I always do half and half of Super Greens and one of the other three: Chow Mein, Fried Rice, and White Steamed Rice depending on my mood at the time. This time, I went with Chow Mein simply because it's easier for me to pick up noodles than rice with a fork. I made my order inside the Target on the other side of the parking lot, requesting ASAP pickup. The app estimated about 15 minutes, and I spent about 10 of those minutes window shopping. When I arrived, an employee, Jolie, was ringing up another customer, and there were two customers at the start of the line to order. After she finished with that customer, she assisted me, and I told her my name for pickup. Despite coming in about 5 minutes early, she was able to bag up my order and hand it to me within the next minute or two. I sat at the two-person table closest to the front door, but the chair there was a little wobbly, though not nearly enough to hamper my dining experience. In my online order, I requested for all the sauces, but they missed the teriyaki sauce, which is the largest packet. How'd they miss that?! Whether or not they ran out, I won't hold it against them that much. Other than that, my order was accurate, and it was about on par with the other Panda Plates I've had at all the other locations. The Chow Mein never tastes as good as it looks, but isn't too bad once you add a sauce or two. The Super Greens seemed a little more flavorful here, which I'm glad to report. The Beyond Orange Chicken was surprisingly quite tasty, but also disappointingly quite stale just like its original version. A good option if you're trying to avoid meat, but worth the upcharge? Maaaaaaaaybe if you're feeling adventurous and want to try something new. Or if you want to avoid an upcharge and choose that as your free small entree after completing an online survey, that's an idea I'd recommend going through on. I was more disappointed with the Honey Walnut Shrimp, however. The shrimp as well as the batter that enclosed the shrimp were two different entities that I didn't think went well together here. Perhaps cooked fresh from a wok at an authentic Chinese restaurant as opposed to a heating well at Panda Express would have been a million times better, but I can safely say I wouldn't order the Honey Walnut Shrimp again. There's even an article on Mashed about why you should avoid that premium entree. I'm all for simultaneous savory and sweet, but Panda Express doesn't seem to get this right with their Honey Walnut Shrimp. Service was pretty good from Jolie, and she also provided good service as well to the other customers who came in to place an order. About the same level as all the other Panda Express locations I've been to. Definitely another plus about this fast food chain. I also want to elaborate more on parking in Cerritos Promenade. It can get pretty congested in the immediate lot around Panda Express that you may have a difficult time finding an open spot there. I'd recommend parking in the much larger lot in front of Target, but farther away from the department store. Overall, it's not a bad Panda Express location to go to. I don't know if I'll be back to this particular location since there are a few others closer to me, but just know that if you live closest to this one, you have a fairly solid spot for fast and convenient Chinese food that won't break the bank. read more

This location gives pretty decent good amount of food. Good deal with the dodgers code. The chow mein r el dente, chicken and shrimp r very well seasoned. The veggie could use some improvement they r kinda a bit tough and hard to chew. Service was quick. Parking is kinda hard to find since it's in a crowded restaurants complex. read more

Panda Express - Build Your Own Plat Build Your Own Plate - 2 Half Sides - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

First time at this location.. It's typically busy since it's in an area with a lot of other businesses and tight parking. My husband and I decided to get Panda Express for dinner since we were at the Target at the next lot over. It was super busy since it was during peak dinner time. There were a lot of people dining in, waiting in line to order their food, and even some who were standing by the register waiting for their online order to be completed. My husband and I got the Panda Family Meal. It comes with 2 large sides and 3 large entrees. We got the fried rice and chow mein for the sides, and ordered the orange chicken, chicken string bean and broccoli beef. The portions were huge and we had so much leftovers that we were able to pack a few lunches for the week. Service was very quick and friendly. The customer in front of us was being a little difficult and rude to the workers, so I'm glad that encounter didn't change their moods towards us. It's safe to say we will be back again! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

OMG this Panda Express is unbelievable, I would give them zero star if I can. I've been coming to this location for a while now and today I made my decision not to come here anymore. I've ordered my regular plate and also ordered a kid's meal. The portion of the Kids meal were incredibly small, the rice didn't even come near the rim. I've ordered Kids meal many times before so it was obvious she (Caro) gave me extremely small portion. Not only that rice was so dried they must be made this last night or maybe left over. I came here at 12:00 noon on Thursday, Caro was very unkind and rude to me and others. NEVER NEVER WILL COME HERE AGAIN! read more

I noticed this location has two stars, but hopefully this review leaves a good impression. Came in and was served by Amanda. Very bubbly, energetic and welcoming. Ordered a big plate so that's three items rice and chow mein. The amount of food that is served in one box was enough to feed 2 to 3 people.

I've never tried this location because of the usual long line, but I decided to wait, and I was so happy I did! The food all looked great! I got the plate with fried rice, orange chicken, and honey walnut shrimp and a Fanta Strawberry. They were very generous with their portions! I'm used to getting smaller portions from my other local Panda Express locations so I was surprised! The employees were super nice. I didn't catch the other girl's name, but her and the girl that worked the register, Anabel, were great! I definitely will be coming back to this location! read more

I tried to call and complain but the phone just rang and rang and said to call back. I tried a couple of times. same results. My mother was very disgusted with these order. We will not get returning to panda express again. read more

Panda Express - There was no message inside the cookie. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and they only gave a couple pieces or chicken and a lot of rice. - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

2/7/2025, First off, this Panda Express, like all the others, gives way too much chow mien loaded with onions and chopped cabbage (both of which are "filler" items added to the chow mien to add volume) and too much rice. If you get the mixed vegetables instead of the rice those vegetables or veggies they call them is all filled with cabbage (so I ask for just the broccoli instead). Other items along the line are also filled with chopped onions and those red peppers, so when I asked for the Beijing beef, I asked to exclude the onions with are the filler items mixed in, but still I ended up getting many onions included. The price of my bowl was nearly $10, so the prices of Panda Express keeps increasing every 9 mouths, it's become a real rip off because I don't want to be paying for all the cabbage and chopped onions that I have to pick out of the plate or bowl. I also don't ask for rice anymore since they will pile up on the rice on the plate along with the chow mien because these items are also very cheap for the restaurant to purchase in bulk. Panda Express is simply just a depressing restaurant to eat at. The food honestly really sucks! read more

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE - IS NOT ANTIQUATED Gonzalo is unfortunately an ill-experienced manager. After paying for our meal with a credit/debit card, we asked a team member for change to break a $20 bill so that we could tip the restaurant. After waiting for 10 minutes for Gonzalo (the manager) to return from the restroom, to address our request; Gonzalo rudely stated that it was against company policy to make change. We asked to return/refund the transaction back to the card so that we could re-purchase the meal with cash instead. Without any respectful explanation, he again replied that that was against company policy. We asked if he could perform the request with respect to avoid a poor customer service experience, and he again stated that that would be against company policy. Critical thinking, good judgment, and courteous customer service were clearly not of any interest to Gonzalo. The other staff members, Nicholas and Cinthya remained professional, friendly, and warmly accommodating. We will not be returning to this location - after over a decade of patronage. Gonzalo could benefit from enhanced training. read more

Rude staff. Asked about the discount before closing. They looked at me crazy. And questioned the validity of what I asked. They said they never have done that. That's fine but inform your employees how to address this question professionally. Also this place has gone down hill since I been last. Probably bad management that is used to rude customers so they automatically treat customers rude. read more

I accidentally placed an order at this location but quickly called in to cancel, withing 2 minutes. I was insured by the employee that my order was canceled and I would get a confirmation soon. What I got was a pick up is ready notification, and when called back, the same employee was dismissive while telling me he'll cancel it when he can. I sent a family member to pick up my meal but there was nothing there, I had to pay a second time at my local location and feel like that employee just took my original order. Customer service doesn't exist here. read more

I'm sorry but for this location to be our first time coming to eat I simply was ordering my meal and I guess the miscommunication between me and the server Daniel. Now I understand employees sometimes have rough days but for me to come in and simply asked to wait for fresh beef broccoli and then to get a very disgusting attitude towards that employee just because I asked for fresh food is ridiculous if I was a crazy person I would of spit in his face for being very disgusting and looking at me with disgust I suggest you tell your employee Daniel next time to take his anger out to someone else and teach him some manners I hope he looks back and think was it worth treating them that way the only reason I even gave a 2nd star is because of the employee Daisy very professional and keeping her line moving I didn't receive and disrespect from her she should teach her employee Daniel how to treat customers with respect and at the same time keep the line moving. read more

Fast food places rarely have good ratings but I think this is a solid location. The food is consistent with normal standards, the employees are helpful, they have a clean bathroom and the inside is typically clean. My only thing with this location is that its in a very busy plaza so sometimes you have to park very far to get to them, so just an fyi if you stop by after work. read more

Horrible customer service, lady at the register was unbelievable rude and unprofessional

The last time I ordered from here was right when the pandemic started, so it has been a few years since I've had Panda. We ordered a family meal online for pickup around 5:40pm and the restaurant was packed upon arrival which let me know that Panda has been going strong since my last visit. They did have a full staff working, which I appreciated. However, I still did wait (along with another customer who also ordered online) for about 15-20 minutes. The food was fresh and packed well, so the fam enjoyed the meal. read more

My complaint is mainly for the slow and failed services. Food is typical Panda, nothing different. I went there last night at 9:00pm 1) there is a senior guy at the first station where you tell them what type of combo you want. He is not the quickest, but okay. The problem is the rest of the 4 younger crew members doesn't seemed to know what they are supposed to be doing. Whatever they were running back and forth doing was not packing the customers' order. The boxes keep stacking up after the first guy's station, making the wait longer and grueling 2) The cashier, who was also the guy who packed my last item messed up royally and forgot to put what he had just packed into my bag. He had that in his hand a second ago! Like chicken running without a head. Of course I was already very frustrated at that point and forgot to check the order. read more

We have been to this location many times but today is the worst ever. Sunday, Father's Day June 18 1:30 in the afternoon after church, we stopped by this location and found no line but empty trays of food. The broccoli and beef looked so bad like it was sitting there for a few hours. So we opt for my favorite orange chicken and mushroom chicken for the kids. Couple bites down, we realized the rice was not cooked. That is just not ok. We cannot feed that to our 1 and 2 year old. Their stomachs won't digest raw rice. I have included a picture that show the rice has a bright white center instead of slightly translucent creamy color. That is raw rice. I don't how they can miss that and that rice went through that many hands between staffs to make fried rice and being served on our plate. Also unbelievably, they screwed up the orange chicken. It was the driest I have ever tasted. How can you screw up your signature dish? I will definitely try not to visiting this location from now. But this one is closest to our house. It sucks. read more

The Dodgers won...which means we all win by getting a plate for $5! I got this last week in the Cypress location and it was absolutely disgusting. The broccoli wasnt cooked, the chow mien looked like uncooked noodles, and they skimped on the food. So coming here, I was hoping for better. I came in on a Monday night around 8:30 pm, and it wasnt too crowded with people. They did have a line of to-go orders and I was one of them. The cashier helped me and was actually friendly, which was a nice change. In addition, the moment they handed it to me, I could it was going to be better already since it was heavier than last weeks. I got home and opened up the food to see it and it automatically looked and smelled better. Taste wise, it is what it is, average tasting food that isnt exactly Chinese food. But its usually always consistent and this time it was. It was night and day better than Cypress. If I go back to Panda, i might actually drive a bit further to this location because the food was that much better. read more

The other reviews that complain about the portions are correct. I come to this location pretty often. It's hit or miss but the last 3 visits were a miss. These folks are hella stingy. The guy gave me two jumbo scoops of steamed rice that took up most of my container.. then gave me one scoop or orange chicken and one scoop of beef with broccoli. Total of 5 pieces of chicken and 4 broccoli.. absolutely NO beef. I honestly laughed when I got home and opened the box. I guess I'll start my new year's slim down early. Thanks, Panda man read more

The PM manger here is so nice, and patient. It really sets the tone for the whole environment. Thank you so much for your great service!

Don't go to this Cerritos location! Go to the Panda in Los Alamitos on Lincoln Ave. instead of this Cerritos location! It is worth the extra miles!!! So on my mobile app order I had to put "Load it up, please," because they always skimp at this location! However, this time, this was the least amount of food I ever got!!! Literally like 2 noodles of chow mein! Now, I shouldn't even have to tell them to load it up in the first place but the fact that I did and they put less than ever before leads me to believe one of two things: 1) they misunderstood and I thought some how that I asked for less or light servings OR 2) they purposefully saw the instructions and deliberately went against the instructions hoping I would just accept the small portions without any recourse since this was a to go order Like I said I will continue to drive the extra miles to Panda in Los Alamitos on Lincoln Ave. as they give proper serving sizes, their orange chicken is soft and not rock hard like it was fried yesterday, their broccoli doesn't taste like it was cooked in chemicals, and their beef doesn't literally taste like soft canned dog food!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT VISIT THE CEREITOS PANDA LOCATION = SMALL PORTIONS + GROSS FOOD!!!! read more
