This is by far my favorite Panda Express. It didn't start out that way before, however, everything changed and this is now my favorite location. Three cheers for rebounding! The food is now always consistent but even more so, the staff at this location are always really really friendly and kind. I come in frequently. Ciomara always greets me like I'm an old friend. I love this so much. It makes me feel great as a customer and more a part of their family. It never changes. Happy staff means great management. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming and I've shared more than a few laughs with the staff during my run through grabbing lunch. greatly appreciate this location and recommend it to anyone looking for a PE to eat at. Well done. read more

This location has the friendliest staff. Super helpful and always nice. We go here regularly and the food is always fresh and delicious. Very good portions and anything new on the menu is always yummy!! read more

Panda Express is always a great choice for my toddler since she loves the chow mein and teriyaki chicken. We get a plate and a bowl to feed a family of 3 which some leftovers to take home. Our favorite is the chow mein, veggies, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken and newly returned - eggplant tofu. This location had friendly staff and fresh hot items when I visited. They had clean tables and accessible high chairs. This might not be typical Chinese food but within its own category, delicious. read more

This is the 2nd review I am posting about two seperate establishments. Not so much about the product but about the young people I encountered working at these establshments. From Alex who prepared my order to Kristine who helped me with replacing my drink hours later and another young man who literally jump to help me as soon as, if not before I walked up to the counter. These young folks were pleasant and sincere in their desire to be of service with real gratitude. The details aren't important . What is important are the warm smiles and feeling that my elderly mom and I received, is to me a sign of only good things to come in our blessed country. read more

The food was amazing!! So I have been going to this Panda Express for about 3 months now and let me tell you the food quality has drastically changed since my last visit. Everytime I come, the food has gotten way tastier! As a culinary chef myself, I noticed it is indeed the same chefs and I even saw them working thanksgiving! A+ for the workman spirit!! I would love to hire them when I open up my new restaurant in town! Their skill of Asian cuisine has really had me more interested in the Asian culinary. I have referred many workers and they have all confirmed that the new chef in the back has drastically improved the quality of the food. Toots to the manager and their hiring skills in really hiring the best of the best!!! I think his name was Erick! Thank you to Panda for keeping the quality alive! read more

I find PE a better option compared to the typical fast food joints. The food is consistent and tasty. I got the veggies instead of the rice or noodles and the chicken string beans and of course the orange chicken. read more

Food is always great. The one star in my review is for the service. 20 minutes left until closing and the guy behind the counter tells me to take a look at what they have because they aren't cooking any more food. However, just 20 seconds before that he tells the lady before he she will have to wait 10 minutes so they can make her some orange chicken. So they could offer to cook her what she wanted but I'm SOL? Guess I'll try another fast Chinese place that actually wants to take care of customers. read more

This spot is hit or miss. Restaurant is usually neat and clean. Service is fast, but they don't always have food prepared or available.

Food was a typical Asian American style. Not too dried out or overcooked. The service was decent. The ambiance of the whole restaurant was the typical chain setting. read more

Worst Panda Express location ever!!!!! We avoid going to this one most of the time. The Orange Chicken is always hard with tiny bits that've been overcooked or left sitting. Other locations have fresher plumper chicken. Tonight we made the mistake of going there again on our way here from a long emergency room visit. The chow mien tastes rancid and this orange chicken is as bad as usual. No one there ever answers the phone so they're getting this Yelp review instead! read more

I like this location. They quick and very nice! The place is clean. They always seem busy. They have more options than the Cochrane store as well. read more

I really don't like leaving poor ratings - but I placed an online order, was told to be her in 12 a 18 minutes, showed up 30 minutes after placing the order, and waited an additional 40 minutes for my food. The workers were very nice and apologized when I asked them what was going on after waiting about 15 minutes, but this location is poorly run, not adequately staffed, poorly managed, the food is out constantly, there's no awareness of online order management, and zero communication with customers and inconsistent communication with the kitchen. When asked why they didn't turn off their order ahead as they were clearly overwhelmed (I was not the only customer that had waited a long time for food this evening) they said the manager was the only one with access and they weren't here. It sounds like management needs to care a lot more about their workers experience, and the experience of their customers. I have two stars - one for the kindness of the workers and feeling bad at how overwhelmed they are, and one for the quality of the food which was delicious. read more

Bought a bowl. White rice & Kung pow chicken The portion was small. I called to let the lady at the counter know. I figure she was the owner. She said they use portion control and the serving I got was portion ccontrolled. I asked for soy sauce got one. Not a good value for your money. Will not come back here again read more

Actually WTF. Yo I walk in no sweetfire chicken breast, "all good I'll wait. I'm gonna order a bigger plate with all sweetfire". Wait 20 minutes they make enough to feed a squirrel, not even his homie too. ONE SQUIRREL. They know I'm waiting don't even tell me it's ready. I hop back in line. One person orders it and it's GONE!! What a joke seriously fml dude and fk this Panda Express. read more

So to start off as I walked into the store I was met with the smell of trash and fart smells I almost walked out but overall the food was amazing but I was eating and just kept smelling Farts. Next time I will be ordering online read more

I for the life of me , cannot get my head wrapped around the low rating ? For at least a Year we have been frequently visited this location & its ALWAYS great service , hot & reset food / some times er have a wait for an item id super busty , however tonight Johnny was as polite & apologetic that I needed to wait ‍ he new gave me a small cup to enjoy a beverage while I waited . I am a fan & I appreciate the service read more

Really good food her. They sear the food under high temperatures for that "wok hay" seasoning. Great polite staff and excellent cooking techniques read more

I absolutely feel for the team here. Some mean reviews on this. I have had absolutely 0 bad experiences at this panda. Team of ladies working here are incredible. I feel welcome every time I walk in, I've been to several panda locations, this is the most proficient team I've seen. Kathy, Vanessa, Ciomara, are just a few of the team members here who make this one of the best Panda Express locations I've ever visited. These guys are hustlin, they are polite, they are inviting. I have nothing bad to say. Shoutout to the gals making this place a joy to go to. I no joke go here everyday because of how great the team is. I'm hope to see the Panda Corp recognize this team for the work and effort they put in. 10/10 read more

I got a family pack and paid extra for honey walnut shrimp. I also gave a panda donation to be nice. I go home and honey walnut shrimp is less than half. That's nice I got ripped off. Why is panda always stingy with their shrimp. We are paying extra and they still dont fill the box. Rip off!!!!! read more

Online order indicated it would be ready at 6:20. I stood around waiting until 6:45 before our two item order was ready. The people working there could NOT have cared less. I will NEVER cross their threshold again. Hope they go bankrupt! Give me attitude along with your $hitty service? Nah, I'm out. read more

I never write reviews and accidents can happen, but finding a worm in your meal halfway through it is one way to ruin an appetite... read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Another update: 11/11/2022. Once again, this Panda Express location demonstrated either lack of management of outright mismanagement. This time, the had available a grand total of ONE eggroll. I was ready to order two. But it was the same old story -- it will take seven minutes. (Does everything on the menu take seven minutes, or is that their standard "line" to make it sound like the wait will be short?) I bought the one eggroll had, and later wished I hadn't, because it turned out to be dry and tasteless -- how knows how long it had been sitting on the serving line. Everything else in the order was fine -- orange chicken, grilled chicken teriyaki, chow mein. But with such a limited menu, there's really no excuse for the serving line to run out of items and not have more already cooking in the kitchen. read more

Not sure why this place is scoring low. They have a lot of food and the place is one of the bigger panda expresses and it's clean. Just did a pick up order from them too and it was fast and efficient. A good go to for my wife and I on some nights. read more

if you ever go in and see the manager jeanne working in a black shirt DO NOT ORDER! you will get a quarter of the portions you normally would even when you pay extra for "premium" proteins! read more

They must have switched management or something within the past couple momths. Im shocked to see some of these reviews. I just moved to morgan hill close to tennant station n ive been here about 4 times. Ive always had SUPER SERVICE. Im currently enjoying my meal w my 4 year old watching Norma serve everyone very happily and treat each customer the same w lots of love. And Veronica at the cashier is helping everyone not to mention getting tons of rings (signifying a donation, which i also donated). I used to work at fast food place for so long. And i know a good team when i see one. The young lady cooking has not stopped cookinf and making sure everything is fresh. These ladies are doing a great job! Thanks for giving food service. read more

"Forgive me, I guess I am off in the head, but I mean, except for a quickie piece of ass it wouldn't matter to me if all the people in the world died. Yes, I know it's not nice. But I'd be as contended as a snail; it was, after all, the people who had made me unhappy." Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness This is nothing more than a quickie review and excuse to use that Charles Bukowski quote (Don't worry, I actually like people...some people...not the jerk going slow in the fast lane who flipped me off when I motioned him to get the hell over because going slow is as a safety hazard as going fast). The N. Cal area Panda Expresses no longer have my favorite healthy dish: black pepper chicken. This particular Panda Express too, while the employees are very nice doing a hard job, frankly has consistently either lukewarm food or one has to wait for their particular entree to be cooked and it is also usually not a very clean environment. The only reason to come here is the refillable Diet Pepsi but since Mini-me insists I slow down on the copious amounts of Diet Soda I drink well, there goes that excuse. There are plenty of hole in the wall Asian joints in Morgan Hill especially considering it's small size of 40,000+ so go to one of them instead. My last visit here was with Mini-me and next time I will override his choice. It's the only proper thing for a Dad to do ;) read more

I know that one doesn't go to Panda Express for authentic, great Chinese food but it is usually reasonably good and the prices aren't too bad. The wife and I have been to Panda's all over and the experience you get is pretty much the same. Well we've been to both of the ones here in Morgan Hill and they both kinda suck. Not sure why but the food always seems like it's been sitting too long or something. Tonight we decided to come in because it was 9pm and many of the restaurants in Morgan Hill shut down about that time. I looked at Panda's website and it said that this one was open until 10pm. Great, we've got an hour before they close! Well we walk in the door at 9:06 and about half of the dishes are either empty or look like they've been there WAY too long. The beef dish I was looking to get had about 3 pieces of meat in the tray that looked like beef jerky. I asked the guy at the counter if they were making more and he said the the cook told him that they weren't making any more food. I get it, it's a Saturday night, you're teenagers and you want to go home and party or play video games or something. Also no one likes to waste food. But gimme a break it's about an hour before closing! The kid tells me that they usually shut the kitchen down about 45 minutes before closing. I look at my watch and it is now 9:07pm. I say, "It's not 45 minutes before closing it's only 9:07." He says, "Look I'm just telling you what the cook said." Not only that but look at the picture I took. The beef had obviously been sitting there for at least 20 minutes. So basically they like to shut down about an hour and a half before closing. So I turned around and walked out. I can understand if it was 9:45 or even 9:30. But it was 9:07!!! You don't close for another 53 minutes! Customers should be able to get the food they want and not be forced to eat something that's been sitting on the steam table for half an hour! This is unacceptable. Not only will I never go to this Panda Express ever again, I will probably not go to ANY Panda again! read more

Panda Express - This is what they serve about an hour before closing. Hope you like jerky! - Chinese Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Stopped here on the way home from a weekend trip, only because I was super hungry. Despite it not being anywhere near closing time, everything I ordered was lukewarm and the "Golden Treasure" shrimp was mostly sweet, sticky batter chunks. I only came here 'cause I was stupid hungry and I needed immediate fuel, but honestly for $8.49 I should have just picked up a to-go salad or deli sandwich from the Safeway in the same shopping center. This is definitely a meal I regretted. read more

If you like HAIRS in your food, this is the place. Absolutely disgusting. We online ordered and it was ready on time. My meal had a very long hair in it in the first few bites. My mistake was trying to continue! A second long hair. Then a third! A few bites later a fourth hair! I threw the entire dinner away. I called to discuss my concern. No answer. I'm always willing to let a manager make it right and also remedy the situation. This was over the top and was seemingly downright intentional. How else could 4 hairs be in one plate? The bad part is my family and I have enjoyed this food chain for years. I can not and will not ever be back. DO NOT GO TO PANDA EXPRESS ON TENNANT AVE IN MORGAN HILL. read more

The food is alright they have that in control but the app on google shows that it has items the actual menu doesn't even though they have the actual place has that food. FIX YOUR FUCKING APP SO I CAN EAT BROCCOLI BEEF YOU RETARDS! read more

I always come here due to convenience. Today I'm doing laundry and decided to risk it one more time. The place was really clean and organized. The food looked great too. Thanks for a great lunch,Sammy. read more

The staff at this location is really friendly. And the food is always consistently prepared, unlike other locations where it's clear they don't care. I go out of my way to go to this location!! read more

I ordered the family meal online for pickup. Big mistake. I ordered Beef Broccoli, Orange Chicken and Mushroom Chicken. I got the Orange Chicken mostly for my wife, I don't really care for it that much. We ended up with two Orange Chicken orders and Beef Broccoli...No Mushroom Chicken. It was also mostly cold, the rice was warm but that was it. I had requested napkins, soy sauce and teriyaki sauce, we received none of these. Come on...they are now starting their employees at $19.00 per hour, I don't think it's asking too much to get the right food in the box and maybe next time don't leave it sitting out for god knows how long so it's cold. read more

This location is always clean, well-kempt, and following COVID requirements. The staff are very friendly and helpful, they communicate wait times if they run out of something, and always have smiles on their faces. Definitely recommend!! read more

Panda Express is good for what it is, fast food. It wouldn't be fair to try and review Panda Express the same way I would review a fancy sit down restaurant. If Panda Express is trying to be a fancy sit down restaurant then I can review it as such, but I'm pretty sure Panda Express isn't trying to be that. If I review Panda Express and a fancy sit down restaurant with the same criteria, that would be like testing the math ability of a 1st grader and a high schooler with the same test. That first grader (Panda Express) might be top of the class in math, but the 1st grader most likely isn't going to do as well as the high schooler (fancy restaurant). When you go to Panda Express you should expect a 1st grader math ability and nothing more. Keeping that in mind, I'd give this fast food place 4 stars. It gets 4 stars because it had a sign that said "leave a five star review and get a free entree". I wonder if I'm going to get anything for a 4 star review, it's better than their current average. Maybe I'll get a free drink or wonton. If people want to be honest with their reviews, but still want a free entree, maybe you could give them 5 stars and then in the writing section just put "3 stars". Anyways, yummy fast food, but I don't like the sign. read more

Panda Express - I was so close! - Chinese Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Came here at about 7:45 on a Friday night. It looked pretty busy, and there was only one employee filling orders, but honestly it wasn't that bad because there were only 2-3 people ahead of my in line. I wasn't extremely happy with the amount of walnuts the server gave on my honey walnut shrimp, and she wouldn't heed my request to throw a few more walnuts on. Also, it seemed like she may have skimped on the chow mein. However, there was definitely a lot of orange chicken, so I'll give them a pass overall. They actually didn't give me a fork in the bag though, and I had to go to the back to get one. The cashier did not explain that omission either. This is sub-standard for Panda Express. The chow mein and orange chicken tasted fine. This was the first time I'd tried the Honey Walnut Shrimp here, and I made it a point to check it out because I always order that dish at Chinese seafood restaurants. The flavor was not overwhelming, but that's kinda expected they don't have the mayo-heavy sauce. Anyway, not sure what they used, the flavoring actually stuck fairly well to the shrimp, which isn't always the case with the restaurant version. Walnuts were pretty sweet and crunchy, but it's hard to screw that up. I'd say ~2.5 stars, but I'll edge to 3 stars because I don't see why people are dissing this place with all the one-star reviews. It was clean, the food came roughly as expected and I didn't have to wait for an extremely long time. read more

Even worst than before even less food than before don't go here I tried to give these guys another chance but it was even more disappointing than before. Food quality is bad everything is bad. They need to retrain all these employees. They need to give more food. read more

I don't usually leave reviews like this but worst food at panda I've ever had. Vegetable was cold and soggy. They barely put chicken on my plate, which was also cold and tasted HORRIBLE. And they took forever to ring us up. When I sat down and went to take my first bite first thing I noticed was hair in my food. When hey switched out my plate they gave me less of everything and the food was so bad I couldn't even finish half of it. Get new people working here. read more

This particular location gives horrible portions of food I asked if I was given a kids meal portion of protein and I got a very sarcastic NO in return, the staff is very friendly other than the manager, no food is left close to closing time, I hope this location gets better the food is awesome. read more

Perfect dinner for a large group. We bought the family feast and we were not disappointed. Plenty of food and it was very fresh. We are from out of town and we have Panda but this seamed more fresh than most for some reason. read more
