    the martinez location here is a smaller one, with an amazing outdoor seating view and ambiance. i came in with a friend to eat something lite, and i usually go for my chow mein use the app for those rewards fr

    What I ordered

    Today I took a venture to Panda Express and I ordered fried rice with beef and broccoli ,orange chicken and a little bit of my moms chicken egg roll the egg roll had grounded chicken and pho noodles overall it was pretty good but the broccoli was a little hard for my liking and the egg roll texture wasn't for me. The employees were very respectful and made sure you had everything you needed the only disadvantage about this place was the restroom it was dirty and my baby sister refused to go to that restroom I also forgot to take the picture but the overall I enjoyed this experience I would recommend this to family and friends

    Food is delicious. The service was great and the ambience. It's really cute inside compared to other locations. I am glad I stumbled upon this location because the one in Pinole does not offer potstickers in this one does.

    Potsticker sauce

    Came in interested to try the potstickers because I heard from a friend they were pretty good! The workers at the front were super nice! Greeted me when I came in and there was one person I think named Jace... (I have bad eyesight) who complimented my shirt which I appreciated a lot! The potstickers were really great and the potsticker sauce goes well with it! Overall friendly staff, nice ambience, a lot cleaner in my opinion than some stores and the potstickers were great! Really wish other locations near me had them! Delicious!

    Always fast and efficient, friendly staff and clean area inside. Food is always nice and hot, and it's busy enough to where they always get fresh stuff out. If they are out of something, usually it only takes 1-2 minutes where some locations could take 10. Great store!

    This location is CHEAP, they will rip you off. I thought I had two pieces of chicken, but the other piece was part of the other portion!

    READ THIS REVIEW and STOP coming to this PANDA EXPRESS. Here is my take on this location Pros and Cons, plus some pics and the issues I and others have with this location. Before I begin, I like to express that, I am fan of Americanized Chinese Food, and before I start, in CAPs "THIS IS CHEAP AS HELL, THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU WHOLE PORTIONS (pics), MANAGER DOESN'T CARE". Pros: 1. The food is the same as other Panda Express Cons: 1. This location is garbage, management is terrible, you need to come into the location to order your food because they will rip you off! If you order online and then pick it up to take home, you will be shocked at the tiny portions. In the location, you can watch them, they are all trained to give you half portions on online orders/door dash/grubhub! 2. The management will lie to you about the orders, they will not give you what you requested, then when you complain, they don't give a shit! 3. They will give old cooked food that has been sitting for a while. Whenever you crave Panda, don't go to this location. Lets show them the customers shouldn't be treated in this manner. We pay for our food, we should have the right amounts! To the owners of this location, I would advise you to reconsider your cheap practice, and treat customers right! I hope karma gets you all at that location, you start loosing profits and close down! Well my conclusion, DON'T GO To THIS LOCATION!

    Kristine doesn't follow the portion guidelines Cashier was helpful Store cleanness below average

    So far this is my favorite Panda Express location I have been too. Every time I go they keep it really clean in there and they follow covid procedures. The line can be long sometimes because it is a smaller location but wait doesn't seem to be bad unless you are really pressed for time. The food always taste fresh when I go. To me that's not normal for Panda Express usually it taste like it's been sitting for a while but so far every time I have gone to this location it has been amazing. They seem to do well on portions as well so you definitely feel like you get your money's worth. Couple that with the fact that it's already not expensive compared to most Chinese places I have had out here. If you are looking for a cheap bite to eat that will fill you up I recommend coming to this location and try it for yourself.

    Stale rice

    Balls/chunks of rock hard rice. Orange chicken also tastes/feels like out was left out for a week. Service and and ambiance were decent.

You actually pay for your order when you get to the store, which I would be worried for them if people place orders and don't show up. I ended up ordering Basil Eggplant with Chicken and Prawns, as well as Deluxe Chow Fun. The bag was fairly compact when I picked it up - two plastic containers of the dishes. When I opened up the container, they were overfilling! I'd say very generous portions for the price. -Basil Eggplant with Chicken and Prawns: I don't feel like this is a really traditional Chinese dish, maybe a bit more Thai, but it was delicious! I also wasn't expecting the sauce to be as red as it was. This dish had a lot of basil which I liked, and a lot of flavor. There was a good amount of protein. -Deluxe Chow Fun: Pretty good, the noodles were soft and bouncy, good amount of flavor, and also lots of protein. Service during pickup was friendly. When I was there, it seemed like the restaurant is popular, with both diners and people coming in to pickup their to-go orders. This is a very solid place for Chinese food!

Garlic pea sprouts were tender and fragerent. Beef rolls had the most delicious braised beef. The salt and pepper chicken was basically popcorn chicken but came in a huge basket and pretty decent. Overall great food in a no-frills environment with decent portions and prices. Would return to try other dishes.

The minced pork sauce clung onto them really really well. The minced pork had a nice balance of sweet and savory, although it leaned towards a little sweeter than I personally prefer. But it wasn't a problem at all, since I was able to adjust the flavor to make it more savory by using the Chicken Granules, Cumin, Chili Oil, and White Pepper condiments. Overall, it was a very satisfying dish! We also tried their new shaved ice dessert. It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.

Everything we ordered came out fresh and well-prepared, and you can really tell there's care put into the food. If you're a fan of the type of food you get at 88 Bao Bao, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. In my opinion, it's a step above, with a much wider variety of dishes and plenty of choices beyond the usual favorites. Their beef rolls are especially worth ordering, they're much more substantial, packed with flavor, and very satisfying. Another thing that really stood out to me is the space. The restaurant is relatively clean, open, and spacious, which makes the overall experience much more comfortable than some of the smaller, crowded spots in the area. If you're ever near 99 Ranch in Concord, put this place on your list. Great food, generous portions, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere make it well worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of their dishes!
