The Baseline: For a Chinese restaurant the food must be fresh, classic dishes need to be executed with skill, accompaniment sides must match with the style, and the plating must be of good presentation. Food: The food at Panda is good to eat for quick meals. Pre-prepped food that just needs to be dished onto your box. I stick with string beans chicken, teriyaki chicken, and steamed vegetables to give my carb craving a break. Solid meal but I know I am eating a bit excess salt when I come to a Panda Express. Service: Fast and efficient and the staff was friendly. Ambiance: The Charger Commons is a nice shopping venue for restaurant chains. The inside and outside dining is nice at this location. Clean restaurant and restrooms. read more

Dined in on 12/22/25 lunch time and I was very impressed with how clean this particular Panda Express was. We were warmly greeted as we walked in. The servers were attentive and friendly. I am always particular about the Panda I go to bc they have a reputation for being stingy with their food. The servers literally count how much onion they scoop up. Seriously though, this Panda cares about their customers and they want them to keep coming back! They did everything right for us! The orange chicken was delicious, crispy and fresh. Luckily, we arrived as they were bringing out more orange chicken. The kang pao chicken was also good. Love when the timing is right when the fresh batch comes out. This location is our favorite and we would be willing to drive all the way out here just to get our Panda Express. Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Nice restrooms too! read more

For whatever reason this location is reslly bad about filling up the boxes. This is the second time I have come here and the box of orange chicken is about 3/4 filled up. Not cool especially since they also raised their price of the family meal. read more

Panda Express - Bourbon chicken and orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - El Segundo, California

I got double chow mein. They gave me mostly cabbage and no noodles. Stingy. Never going back there ever again

I'm a Panda Express loyalist, but the food at this location disappointed. Hopefully it's just the cook that was on duty during my visit. We got a family meal, but everything was below the usual Panda Express quality. Chow mein was dryer, with less vegetables, and less taste than usual. Mushroom chicken was way too salty. The tofu in the eggplant tofu was over fried, so was very dry and tough. Orange chicken was ok since it's just fried chicken tossed with premade sauce. I'll head back to the Manhattan Beach location since that location has never let me down even though this location is newer, more modern, and the workers were quite friendly. read more

The food is always solid. My only issue is tgat tge new juice drinks they sell are very delicious. But the only reason I don't purchase them is because they are pre-poured and left in a bucket of ice and in a drop in next to the register. It makes me worry how long they sit there. TCS is my #1 worry. Why not pour to order? Could be a corporate demand to have em out like that but between the worry of them sitting out and the worry that anyone could get their germs in them because they are just in a Togo cup and not sealed for safety. read more

Worst experience everrrrrrr I ate the food yesterday and that was all I ate since I was very busy and i ended up getting food poisoning from there food!!!!!NEVERRR EAT HERE!!!!! read more

To be fair we haven't had a bad meal at any panda location but we really enjoy coming here because the food seems to be hotter. I wish they did have black pepper chicken as it's my wife's go to, but it's okay. The staff here is really attentive and friendly. Always with a smile on their faces and always eager to help. It's typically quiet in here in the evenings but keep in mind that during the lunch rush it gets packed and loud.. The tables were clean but again during the lunch rush I have seen the tables look a little lack luster, with that said we will definitely be coming back for our panda fix. read more

Review #605 None Elite Squad Panda are Pandas.. they're all the same.. same ingredients.. same taste.. same staff policies which means make sure the customers don't get too much for what theyre playing for.. well..not here.. are this Panda Express they're not Stingy. I swear I went at the right time or the right staff were working but I wont lie, they gave me a 2 item plate they way you get it at your local Chinese food joint.. what does that mean..you know they serve you chowmein and it tilts over to the side orders.. then they serve a big scoop plus a little extra of the side orders ..then you order a individual of Orange Chicken and they filled it up..meaning they made sure it was full ..no gaps. then I got a chicken egg roll..they gave the most filled one cause the rest were extra toasty. Was the food fresh? not really..its Panda..they did give me thr option if I wanted just made ..I declined Anyways, the staff were super friendly and made my visit pleasurable. it was super clean .. plenty of Parking .. Great Location Highly recommend this Panda 5 Stars all the way read more

My daughter just picked up some food, and found a peanut in her orange chicken or could have been the honey walnut shrimp. Not acceptable. She's allergic. Now I don't k now what their stand is about cross contamination I haven't really checked their website,but I would expect this to not happen. But I should have. So beware! read more

My husband went in 40 minutes before closing and they had nothing left and claimed the kitchen was closed for the night and they were not making any more. They didn't make any effort to accommodate or offer any other solution. He ended up taking his business elsewhere. read more

I'll admit, I haven't had Panda Express for some time now. Then one random day, someone at my job went out and got some for lunch. The delicious (and very familiar) aroma just wafted all over the place and that's what triggered me to have it again. Lunch hour hit so I jumped in the car, found my way and next thing was me trying to decide which ones to get. Nice and clean - of course, since it's fairly new. Plenty of seats inside and out. Most people took their food to go, so if you feel like dining it, shouldn't be an issue finding a seat/table. CHICKEN EGG ROLL: Nice crunch on the outside, really tasty inside. Sweet and sour sauce elevated the flavor. Worth the $2 price tag. (Forgot to take a picture, whoops!) I decided on a 2-item combo: half noodles, half rice. Although it was more rice than noodles. (I'd say about 70/30.) Which was fine since the noodles were the typical and familiar Panda Express flavor. Good chew but a little bland. There was very little love made with it. Don't get me wrong - it's not horrible, and they must be doing something right because this particular dish is popular! MUSHROOM CHICKEN: More like cucumbers with mushrooms and a few pieces of chicken. They really make use of those cucumbers as fillers. Flavor is great, though. Mushrooms and chicken cooked tender. It's the sauce that does this dish. If only they calm down on the cucumbers! ORANGE CHICKEN: I think most people will agree when I say this is probably their one (if not the most) popular thing here and that's why they make plenty. And I do get it. It's sweet and savory and a tad of crunch at the same time. A few bits of it solo might make the flavors a little overpowering but nothing the rice can't balance off. This I like. FOOD: 3.5. SERVICE: 3.5. VALUE: 4. Plenty for twelve bucks and change. I even got a 2nd meal out of it. PARKING: Private lot. Plenty. Not an issue even if it is shared with a few other spots. OVERALL: 3.75. Good first run! Will most likely return when the mood comes up. Will most likely try something else... but there will be a future visit! read more

I want to give a quick shout out to panda express for the healthy options on their menu. It's been over 20 years since I've visited a panda express and I was in need of a quick and healthy meal the other day. I remember hearing on social media about this approximately 100 g protein plate from Panda Express. Basically just three portions of teriyaki chicken and the steamed vegetables. I checked it out for myself and can confirm this is a great meal when you're in a pinch and enjoy eating healthy. The chicken was great, although over season to my liking. The steamed vegetables were varied and garlicky $13 for a plate of 100 g of protein can't beat that. I'll definitely be back when I'm in need of some healthy food for meal prepping or even a quick lunch. read more

Came in at 8:30 pm , only to find that four options weren't available . Unfortunately, this is not the only time this has happened to us at this location . It seems like they stop preparing food two hours before closing, and upon request they seem really hesitant to prepare the items that are not available . Several customers even leave at the sight of many entrees not even being available . At the very least , if the service was great it wouldn't bother me, but the employees seem really indifferent and in a hurry to clock out . read more

Who doesn't love Panda Express? Food was good and the crew was trying hard to keep up with the pace. I arrived at the right time with only 4 people ahead of me. There was a steady flow of customers coming in the whole time I was here. Crew was cranking! Great job. I would come bakx read more

If you've been to a Panda Express you know what to expect. For those that haven't, it's very Americanized Chinese food that satisfies a craving. The service is good, the place is clean, and the food is okay. I wouldn't bring anyone here to talk about how amazing the food is but for a quick bite it's not bad. I would come here again. read more

Panda Express - Half chow mein half fried rice with beef broccoli and orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - El Segundo, California

Who knows if this will be resolved but please advise your staff ( especially the ones who wear heavy make up ) to leave their prejudice at home when working customer service. It's 2025, you don't have to be outright vulgar to let someone know you don't appreciate their presence. This is the third time that I have come in & received poor customer service & odd looks from a particular staff member who rings up the food. Third time I've had to ask for forks to eat & third time I had to ask for fortune cookies for my kid. Same person. Same experience, every time. I have been coming to this panda for years & usually enjoy it. They're not stingy with the servings & typically friendly & welcoming. Also the restaurant is always clean & in a great area. However, these past few visits with this particular new staff is about to have me change locations. It's unfortunate & unacceptable. read more

By far thee worst Panda Express I've ever had ! The rice wasn't fried at all it was just steamed n they added veggies to it n it was all mist n bland! Then the orange chicken was so sweet I feel ill nasty! Then the Beijing beef was nasty some pieces wasn't cooked ! I hate I really wanted this and it was this damn nasty ! I will not return to this one ever again wasting my hard earned money ! read more

Worst customer service. Places an order at 12:38PM with pick up time at 1:15PM. Arrived at the location at 1:10PM and waited for like 10 mins and still nothing. I needed go to to work and left. And I got a text saying the order is ready at 1:43PM, over an hour from my order time and 28 minutes later than the pick up time. I came back at 6pm the same day and explained the situation and want to get the order. The manager strictly told me "I will do it this time but not next time". I explained that I was here at pick up time and my order wasn't ready. She said due to promotion so there are lots of orders and there is a sign saying the wait time would be longer (in fact the sign only say the order will not be ready before the pick up time). No any kind of apology about the late order but more like is okay for them to make mistake and make order late but customer is the at fault for not waiting past the pick up time. I have seen a manager would blame a customer for showing up on time for the order but not sorry for late order. This is ridiculous. read more

I would give a BIG FAT ZERO if I could. Walked into the location at 3:38 pm today. Did not get out until 4:12-ish. Waited over 1/2 hour for mushroom chicken and tofu eggplant. During the wait time, there was no communication about the tardiness of the food. When I checked in after 20 min, the girl at the register looked at me and said, "do you want to wait or change your order?" No apologies until I asked to see a manager. They sent out the guy who was cooking. Do managers also cook food? He said sorry, we need 5 more minutes. Really??!!!? EXPRESS is literally in the name of your chain! How does it take over 30 minutes to make 2 dishes? By the way...it took another 10 minutes. And then when the girl let me know it was ready, there was still no acknowledgment of their error, just a smug, "is there anything else?" Deplorable customer service. Complaint submitted. It will be interesting to see if your corporate has the same type of customer service, or if they care about how their franchises treat their customers. read more

Dropped a chunk of a big chicken teriyaki and casually threw it away without refilling it. So basically I paid for the less amount that advertised. I come with full expectation I will get what I paid for. That was a very disappointing behavior by the employee. read more

Ordered on the app at 10:50 AM. Walked in at 11:10 AM to pick it up. Told me that it was not ready. I stood there waiting until 1124 before my order was done. It was just a plate of orange chicken teriyaki, chicken and chow mein. The wait for those items was ridiculous. read more

It's a Panda Express, they're fast-ish and at a reasonable price. For what it is this franchise location is above mid tier. I'm removing a star because I've done online orders that's have taken a long time to come out over what the app estimated. Kitchen appears clean. read more

Panda Express - Ordering area - Chinese Near Me - El Segundo, California

Dodgers won yesterday at home, so I got a $5.00 plate (online or app order with code dodgerswin) and their service was amazingly friendly and efficient. The orders are on a rack, but the attendants are quick to ask who you are and get the orders out if they were ready. I was early, but they still got my order done quickly so I did not have to wait much longer. They have outside and inside seating at this location as well Now, the food. I ordered the plate with honey sesame chicken and orange chicken. Both were tasty. The orange chicken (not the hot Orange chicken) had the spicy logo on this entree and it did have a kick, but was almost tolerable (i could still eat it drinking lots of water) and the taste was surprisingly flavorful (it was dark meat I think). The orange sesame chicken breast was totally tame but flavorful so the sweet was more apparent, but also had a good flavor and had bell peppers and green beans to boot! read more
