I was famished after spending an hour getting my phone fixed at the nearby mall. Craving "fast" food, i came here for familiar standard Panda fare. It was quite busy; long queue starting to form, and patrons waiting for Items to complete their orders. Standing in line provided opportunities to observe: Josephine's in-charge demeanor and actions demonstrated grace under pressure: she greeted customers pleasantly; filling orders dexterously - not skimming on serving portions; all the while multitasking with professional aplomb such as replenishing food trays, communicating with cooks, and overseeing service. Team members Darwin and Steven seamlessly followed up on my order in a friendly manner, not letting the rush diminish customer service. I had a satisfying dinner, commensurate with what to expect from a quick, reasonable priced (@$10 each) meal. read more

Panda Express - Chow mein with orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

What's wrong with your food? The Walnut Shrimp is flour Shrimp. It is never like this before. Use plenty of the flour to make small shrimp as same size as before. How smart ! additional charge for flour. Whoever has this idea please taste it. If the owner does not want to run this business please shut it down. read more

Mark, thank you for your service and being very helpful and empathetic. I was not having a great week and today just seemed to be the worst. Mark gave me words of encouragement and I appreciate you. read more

Panda Express never fails for a good and quick Chinese food fix. I craved for chow mein and came here after work. It's in the Cerritos area near Which Which restaurant and Wing Stop. The restaurant is nice and clean. As soon as you step foot inside, the aroma of the delicious Chinese dishes hits you. Heaven! They offer you a sample of whatever dish you want. I tried the shrimp and it was good. I ended up ordering the chow mein, orange chicken and kung pao chicken. The only issue I had was we had to wait for 15 minutes for the kung pao as they were still cooking it. Benefit: we got a fresh one. read more

The manager was great! Me and my son get panda every Friday as a end of weekday treat. My son always gets the cub meal and as most know kids seem to choke on things at this age of 4. The manager without asking cut the chicken up in bite size pieces and that was such a nice touch to our experience. read more

My family and I love Panda Express. But today, it wasn't so hot. Ordered an orange chicken bowl with fried rice. I know they don't give a lot, but they give enough. Today I ordered through grub hub and they skimped out on the orange chicken. We got 4 pieces of orange chicken, and a piece of chicken was legit BREADING. Anywho, still like panda. But i was just surprised at the quality of it today. read more

Love this Panda Express. I have came to this panda numerous times and just wanted to write a nice review about it. The staff and very nice here as well. Even though finding parking is kinda hard especially on the weekends, the good food makes up for it. The line gets a little bit long but the staff work very quickly here so the line goes by really fast. Anyways this panda is always clean and well kept, definitely recommend stopping by here for a meal. read more

The food is still good but higher price and less food. They changed the tray to make it look like you got the same as you were before but just look at the inside separators, they are a lot smaller and the side container is ridiculously smaller. read more

Wow so they charge extra for the beyond orange chicken but give u 6 pieces? It was what was left in pan. Like seriously? 9$ for a bowl - she wrote on the lid so i thought she was waiting for a new batch cus she out my order to side n proceeded to help next customer.... Couple minutes after when i wasnt looking my order was good n ready for cashier Then got home n saw 6 pcs ... she really tricked me there , she was shy to put the last 6 pcs in my bowl in front of me then does it anyway... avoid this branch read more

Service is ok . It sucks that most panda hardly serves decent size portion . Not sure how people feel about this . read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

Garbage. Their "mixed veggies" are usually just broccoli. They never drain the veggies causing a watery mess in your bowl. They literally served me mushroom chicken with 3 pieces in it but I didn't see them serving it because I had to sit and wait for my food. My food was cold by the time I got home. Less than 5 minutes. Food board needs to come in here and check your food temps. I had to microwave my food before eating it. Waste of $15 for 2 bowls. This place is pure garbage. Go ahead and put something different at this location. read more

I'm usually pretty satisfied with the food here, but not tonight. I had Kung Pao chicken. There was very VERY little chicken in it! Usually they're generous with their chicken. I guess they're trying to save money. Pathetic. Next, I bit into an egg roll and I could swear that it was rotten. I them away!! read more

My first time at panda Express! They are Very stingy!!! I got a free orange chicken bowl from T mobile Tuesday and there were very little orange chicken. With the amount of orange chicken I got, they will never have my business. Also, Jane ignored the whole line of people waited at the mobile order pick up. I saw my food ready on the counter and she did not give us the orange chicken bowl until 15 minutes after. read more

Workers were very nice and helpful. Overall nice environment. Thanks Mr. Steven for helping me and my friend out, u are the best. Good food.

I had the BEST customer service experience here!! I mean BRAVO!!! I left my purse at home and only Could pay for my meal with Apple Pay. We tried multiple machines, but it kept saying "declined". They even restarted the machine for me. I told the manager i was there picking up my daughters lunch, i was taking it to school cause today's her birthday. The manager told me i could just take the meal and she trusted me to come back and pay. I could've literally cried. I didn't want to leave without paying so i asked if there were any other forms of digital payment allowed, luckily they accepted Venmo and i was able to pay! They really tried to help me in many different ways, and it was just so warming to witness and feel. Thank you. read more

Panda anda me! Anda you, too! Even you, bro! When I want something hot, fast & fresh, I head to Spearmint Rhino. Oops, uh, er, sorry, Freudian slip. What I meant to say was I head to Panda Express. Broccoli beef, green bean chicken, eggplant tofu & Beijing beef - those are the usual suspects for me. I whip out my receipt w/ the code, entitling me to a free entree to go along with my 2-item combo w/ fried rice and it's chowtime. I was a little perturbed when Panda Express replaced fried white rice w/ fried brown rice awhile ago, but I'm glad the big muckamucks saw the error of their ways and brought back the OG fried rice. Yeah, brown rice has fiber, but it also has phytins, which are antinutrients. Phytins block the absorbtion of nutrients in the GI tract, causing leaky gut syndrome. This Panda Express location has always been clean & and very convenient for me, due to it's close proximity. The staff during my latest visit were especially friendly from start to finish. They even obliged me when I ask for more rice and extra fortune cookies. Because having one fortune just isn't enough ;p The line usually goes by quick & I'm in n' out in no time. Tables & stool seating for those looking to dine in. Parking is located at the Cerritos Promenade, which can be hard to come by. I suggest parking near Island Pacific to find a spot. Located very closeby, there is another Panda Express across the street in the Los Cerritos Center. But, for some reason, the food doesn't taste the same. When I want Panda, I go here. Not a date spot, not a hoity toity white tablecloth restaurant, Panda Express is one of my favorite places to go for a quick meal that I don't feel bad about eating. The World Wildlife Fund would approve ;p Recommend! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM read more

PE is in no way real Chinese food, but when you're "hangry" (hungry + angry) and tired of burgers, PE is a fast, decent option. You walk in and order cafeteria line style. You can order a la carte or go for one of their Panda Bowls (one entree over rice or chow mein) or two/three entree plates. Today I opted for a two entree plate ($6.70) with teriyaki chicken and kung pao chicken with half chow mein and half fried rice. The teriyaki chix here is good - they actually slice up the grilled chicken to order and ask you if you want the sauce on top or on the side. The chix itself is nice - moist with a good ginger and garlic flavor. The sauce is ok, but a little too sweet for my liking (I get it on the side to control that sweetness). The kung pao chix was tasty as well. Chix pieces in a spicy sauce with zucchini, onions, red bell peppers and peanuts. Their chow mein noodles and fried rice are always just meh - both on the dry side and not very flavorful. Basically just carbs to eat with your entrees. All in all fine as fast food goes. It's a nice change-up from standard fast food fare. Tip: If you take some time and complete their online survey, you get a code that gives you a free small entree with your next plate on a future visit. read more

Ordered string bean chicken and beef broccoli. They piled the entire entree side with nothing but beef broccoli that was covered in gelatinous goo. Broccoli was nothing but mush. String bean chicken had like 4 Ckn pieces and limp and mushy green beans. Absolutely disgusting read more

Panda Express is fine. I've never gotten sick when eating here which is a good thing lol. I usually go for my Chinese food fix every few months. I usually order orange chicken, broccoli beef, or honey walnut shrimp with chow mien and their super greens. The food isn't the best but its edible. I've been a few times during COVID and they seem to be doing a good job with safety and health. All in all, Panda Express is just fast food Chinese food. Nothing special, but just enough to settle my fix. read more

I'd leave zero stars--horrible customer service from employee Christine. I did not appreciate the attitude and rude remarks made to an employee named Thai. Who was extremely helpful and didn't deserve to be mistreated in front of guests. The lack of professionalism made me and my partner uncomfortable. For a company that voices that they care about their employees and is an advocate, the bar is on the floor. Extremely disappointed. This location was the most convenient Panda from my job, and after today and seeing the employee who typically handles my order be mistreated, I had to speak up. Thai has exceptional customer service, and I can't let this go unaddressed. Upper management DO BETTER!! read more

The staff here at Cerritos Panda sucks. Worst Panda Express experience ever the orange chicken was cold and dry so disgusting the chow mien taste like card board. The food servings are so little you don't get a full portion size that you would expect for paying over 15 $ for a plate of Chinese food. They serve good amount of noodles but I ordered chowmein without rice because they tend to serve so little, almost like they don't have lots of food to serve maybe they are running low on product which is the managers fault. The staff does not know how to interact with customers they don't greet you when you come in and you don't feel like you're in a good place and especially if you have to come back . I am never coming back to this establishment in Cerritos this place is trash. read more

Whenever I'm in this area. I'LL Come here Occasionally for Lunch. I must Say Giselle(employee) is thee Absolute Best! She is So Awesome, Nice and Patience. Also Good Customer Service Skills, She Makes My Day. Keep doing a Great Job Giselle! read more

Came into rush hour and there was a long line, but the workers were so nice about everything and polite.

Don't order here. They skimp on the entrees, gave me two broccolis and 2 pieces of meat lol.

Food is dry and over cook and portioned are never the same. There not easy to talk too. I better getting a hot dog. Their honey sesame chicken is so overcooked. It's not even a joke. And their noodles are dry dry. There no Steak in there pepper steak. read more

Every time I've gone to this place, the amount of beyond chicken they put in is smaller and smaller. I don't pay $12 for a plate to only get a handful of pieces. They used to fill it up more and now with the prices going up, the food amount is going down and it just sucks when you're so excited for food and you see this. read more

Due to covid 19, they're only doing pick up. Not sure about delivery. Have never been to this panda before. When I ordered online, I specifically clicked the option to have utensils, napkins, and chili paste. None of those were in our bag. To add to the disappointment, there was not ONE fortune cookie!!! WTF PANDA?! Check your bags before you leave!! read more

I'll give them 5 stars cuz the good organization while ordering and delivering food during this pandemic times good job guys read more

problem with the experiences at this location was how stingy they are with their portions. I even asked politely for her to give me a bit more honey walnut shrimp and she gave me literally one more and said she can only give me that much, but she said it with an attitude. At that point I was kinda fed up with her. but the next girl after her was more polite read more

He was very rude and was not helpful at all I will never go back. read more

7/29/21 - My sister and I went today to order our usual a la cart items. We usually get a large chow mein and a medium honey walnut shrimp. Well today we were in for a shock! The staff that took our order didn't even fill the large carton to the brim with chow mein and when it came to the shrimp, the staff counted how many shrimp went into the carton. My sister asked him if he was counting the shrimp and he said he was only allowed to put 14 shrimp. When we got home I took pictures of the food and I even counted the shrimp. We were ripped off - we only got 13 shrimp for $10.20. This place used to give big portions, but now we won't be coming back!! Such a disappointment! No wonder it was empty. I'm not even going to give this place a star, but it won't let me post unless I rate it. JUST KNOW IT'S NOT WORTH A STAR!! read more

Panda Express - Chow Mein and Honey Walnut Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

Been a little while since I've eaten here. Their top selling item orange chicken is so bad you'll want to spit it out after biting into its hard crust only to find freezer burned thin slices of meat. So dried out you can tell its frozen before fried. Honey walnut shrimp too is over battered and tastes like batter, not shrimp. I used to prefer their chow mein but that too is dry and pretty chewy. Not worth the visit, money or space in my stomach. Never going here again. read more

Everytime I come they always skim me on the chow mein or rice. The don't even fill it up to the line. All the other panda locations I go to don't do this. read more

Panda Express - Little bit of chow mein they always skim me and never fill it up to the line at least - Chinese Near Me - Cerritos, California

First time to order online at this location, I was disappointed to have waited over half hour for my order. I gave ample time before picking up my order, when I got here, I was asked a couple of times if I was helped and been telling them I am here to pick up my order. No one prepared my order when I came 10 mins after the pick up time. It was fine to wait for a few minutes but to wait over half hour, it's unacceptable. I do not recommend this place for online ordering.. bad service overall. read more

I had 2 items plate for dinner at this location. I had throw up in the middle of the night. I had throw up again 5 times this morning. I thought Panda is well known for their cleanliness and high standard in the fast food industry. If they are so clean then why am I having food poisoning? Old oil? If the multi millions/billions business which can generate like 50K-100K/week per store, shouldn't they be changing their oil more often since all their secrets to the food is sugar and oil? Expired walnut? Okay. I ordered honey walnut shrimps and kung pao chickens. Their fast selling item is kung pai chickens. They should be using that a lot and wouldn't be any expired products on hand. On the other hand, premium item like Walnut Shrimp is not a hot selling comparing to Kung Pao, maybe they used expired walnut? Whoever put away deliveries and obviously either cooks or managers, such a shame on them for not doing FIFO. If you take the ownership of your store and responsible of your work, you would off doing FIFO and not serving expired items to your customers!! I will submit this health department to Ensure no one will suffer from food poisoning like I do. read more

I'm not a huge fan of Panda Express but my boyfriend loves it so I decided to give it another try. Turns out I shouldn't be giving Panda Express any other chances because after so long of not trying it & finally eating some I get this metal piece of I don't know what in my rice/chow mein. It looks like a piece of metal from those metal sponges. I'm just glad it didn't cut my tongue. read more
