After a long 5 hour drive (a long day of work, picking up teenegers, and a soccer game!) we arrived to Paso Robles a tad bit late and HANGRY! Our options were very limited. At first we had stoped at Chipotle but unfortunately because it was near closing hours they didn't have much left. So we decided to go to Panda, which never disappoints, and boy did we make the right choice. Even though the employees were closing, I asked if they had veggies, to which they said "no but we can make some for you"... Although I declined the offer, I was impressed to see young employees going above and beyond to satisfy a customer in these days. Specially at closing time! So the 5 stars are mainly for the staff. The food was great, but it's always better when the service is good after a long drive! read more

This has got to be the worst Panda where I've eaten. Soda was flat! The noodles were a greasy, nasty tasting mess. The chicken teriyaki was awful. Instead of being cut into small bite size chunks, they were big pieces, actually all one big piece bc they never fully cut them. They were not browned, cooking method was bad. They had a slimy, greasy texture and taste. Kung Pao chicken was mostly veggies with little meat. The only ok part was the orange chicken. I won't eat here again. read more

They shrunk the containers! The food was good but I usually have some leftover for another meal. Not anymore! The bigger plate is no longer a good value. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and service was ok. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in, the place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is always friendly. When I came in some of the food came out fresh as I was standing there. The hot orange chicken is indeed on the hot side. But good. It's a good quick fix when you don't have time for a sit down restaurant but want the Chinese food flair. read more

Stood in a long long line for over 30 min. The employees were too busy filling door dash orders. This is just not right. read more

I'm a fan of Panda Inn, but not-so-much Panda Express. After all, I've only been a handful of times in all my years. But, I was in need of solving hungry pains. The time was now to solve my issue Blow me down. Very fresh, nice selection, and very tasty indeed. Albeit, it's not a steal, $13 for a 2 item combo. But I have to admit, I liked. And, if you go to an actual Chinese restaurant, it's going to cost you $25+ plus tip. For what it is, fast food Chinese, it hit all the marks. I won't hesitate to return. There's not much to write about a Panda Express -- it's fast food Chinese with a lackluster punch. However, this location has a few standout things that's worth calling out. * very freshly made food * very clean * healthy options * very nice service Room for improvement: =================== Both the fried rice and the noodles (chow mein), I think, we're below average. No flavor and dry. read more

Terrible food. Tastes old and always arrives cold. Online orders and deliveries are consistently incorrect and missing food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the restaurant feels dirty and sticky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

How can we address the service and - food amount does this panda express serve to people. Bigger plate doest even look like bigger plate- this place is a rip off. The people who works there as if their the one whose paying for my food. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is busy during lunch with families and workers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The employees are always so nice and accommodating. Food is always fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just wish they bring back the old school tables with chairs and booths and not the long tables with backless chairs. It just makes it harder for small kids to sit and enjoy their meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I just want to thank Elizabeth for her great customer service and kindness. I called in to notify them that my small one entrée order was not filled up to the top, especially being the smallest one and that I understand they're busy but just so they know next time and she offered me a medium of the same entrée as well as a drink so I just wanted to thank her for that! other than that, I am happy with this location and I will continue to order from them. read more

Panda is my go to spot for something fast and fresh, generous portions and amazing service. I was helped by Vincent he was very welcoming and friendly! read more

The service was good and fast. The food was good. The orange chicken was so good. I would recommend

Bad customer service. When ordering was rushed to choose one meat option when I had multiple options allowed, I asked to see other meat options and then when I asked for teriyaki and broccoli beef they only gave me teriyaki. Then got told to pay when I wasn't even done ordering a they didn't ask if I wanted a drink or anything additional like they're supposed too. This is the second time I've gone this month to Panda Express and once again my order has been messed up this is not ok. I love coming here and I love your food, but Ive worked in customer service and still work in customer service and how I've been treated previously and this current trip is not how we're trained to treat customers. read more

It was my first time there on Dec. 20th. They greet you when you walk in and everything was freshly made with an open kitchen. I don't eat noodles or Rice and they had fresh vegetables for my chicken dish. I was amazed how good it was since I cook most of the time. The manager was wonderful and made my experience wonderful. Thank you. I will be back again. read more

I just left Panda Express after placing a family order and I was dissatisfied with the amount I was given. The manager, Nathan, went above and beyond. I don't like leaving reviews but Nathan's action tonight should be commended. Thank you Nathan! We will definitely be back. read more

The girl manager to be nicer and make sure that I have everything on my order correct and to have a little more patience with my adhd and my speech impediment and the food is cold and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the environment was icky they need to make sure the store is clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

So love, hate, or neutral, we all seem to come here fairly often. It's okay, just admit it. Entree and side selections can run from 'meh', to pretty good, to, 'wow, this is great!' Right? Still, we come, we stick with our favorites, and generally, but not always, we get what we came for. The variables are food quality (not always consistent), service (sometimes good, sometimes not so much), cleanliness (they always seem to be a little bit behind the ball here). So there it is. But ... will we be back? Yep, you bet. read more

Panda Express - "Panda Cub Meal" - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Just like most other Panda expresses out there, this one is healthy, hot, fresh, and generally delicious. Be warned, coming during the lunch or dinner rush, you will have to stand in line for 15 to 30 minutes to get your food ordered. During the rushes they are really lacking in staff it seems to cook, as they are always delayed on getting popular items to the hot table! If you come during a nun dinner or lunch rush, your service will be super fast. I love that they enforce their mask policy to keep everyone safe and they do it in a very polite way. read more

For the price they are my first choice if you want consistently fresh Chinese food. I like the way they let you get half & half (rice/noodles.) Though, I do have to say that IF you go there a half an hour before closing you will find them more interested in cleaning up than serving you food & the fresh food & friendly service you got a few hours earlier is definitely not the same, even though they charge the same price! (I really should take away 2 stars for the late shift but besides that last hour they are good.) Maybe they should change their prices & charge less that last hour! read more

Panda isn't the healthiest lol but it sure is freaking DELICIOUS!! My boyfriend and I love coming here and always get the orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp!! I recommend ordering online through DoorDash for convenience and safety for free pick up (since this Panda Express get packed with people sometimes) read more

The last 4 times I went the food has been steadily going downhill. The last time that I went was about two weeks ago. I ordered a three item combo. I got the little side for my 3rd item. I get home and see I was robbed of my Orange chicken. I try calling multiple times they say go to the website if you have problems. Sent my receipt and still haven't gotten anything. They are going downhill. read more

Every time I come here it's fairly busy, but I order online so I am in and out. I have minimal interaction with employees so I can't say much about service besides my food is ready upon the suggested pick time. Never had an issue with the food or a wrong order. read more

This store is the worst! Every time I order, they forget some thing or give me the wrong items. Do yourself a favor and skip it all together. When you try to call them, they will not answer the phone. Good luck getting them to make it right. I'm over it! Sending my feedback to corporate. read more

Rice very under cooked. I was the only one behind a family of 4 who literally did not know what they wanted to order. I stood there every bit of 12 minutes, not one worker offered to take me while they decided. They asked questions and argued. Then they made me wait to pay for my one item after them while they cooked some of their food that was out. You 30 min here to get food with no one in line. read more

The food I received was cold and too greasy to eat. I wish I'd checked out Yelp before ordering from this store.

First I want to say I reluctantly went to Panda Express one hour before closing, and found they were low on offerings. I was greeted by the new manager Nathan who gave me a very warm welcome taking great pride in his service. He very kindly accommodated my requested items and made them all fresh for me. I was very appreciative of this kind of service and all was delicious! Bravo Nathan for excellent customer service! read more

Nothing like order broccoli and beef and finding this joke. 1 and 1/2 chunks of beef. Also we didn't get the side of teriyaki. This place has become terrible. Was once out for to, no our don't plan on going to just like McDonalds. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Yesterday only ordered their small Chow Mein. Been eating off and on throughout the morning and after shopping decided I needed to fill my Chinese food craving. It is Panda Express so I don't expect too much from them. It was pretty quiet here for being 12:50 pm. I was only 3rd in line and there were a few tables occupied. The Chow Mein of course needed 2 packets of soy sauce to liven up the simple flavor but it hit the mark. Across the street their lunch specials are some of the best I have had but knew I couldn't eat a full meal. Clean, fast, quick and restroom decent. Friendly employees knew how to get you in and out so they deserve the 4 stars. read more

Panda Express - small Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Comic Book guy and Karen walked in and had a meltdown tonight because the tall blonde guy at the front said they couldn't make more Kung pao chicken 5min before closing. They also were out of veggie spring rolls. I don't need to give a play-by-play, but the guy working there was very sweet and took the abuse. When they asked for the manager, the response was swift and the guy taking the abuse held himself accountable for the customer abuse/concern. It was hilarious. It was embarrassing. +5 stars customer service -1 stars for being out of so many things (brown rice, veggies, and a couple more) The whole Karen, millennial back and forth with the patrons was also amusing. I will definitely come back again close to closing for the ambiance. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and asked what vegan options they had and she said they literally have zero vegan options

Thanks Ryan for the sauces! My online order was super quick too.

Sunday July 7. Service at the Panda Express in Paso was really terrible. I had to wait 35 minutes for my order to be processed. There was at least 10 people in front of me waiting for their food. This is totally unacceptable for a fast food restaurant where the staff is making 20/ hour. I'm not very happy with the service I received today and will not be returning any time soon. Service was very poor at this location. read more

Definitely wasn't worth $15. The rice was either dry or undercooked (yuck), they only gave a few pieces of shrimp, the spring rolls tasted off, they say corporate didn't send them the Beyond Chicken.... The only real advantage here is its fast. read more

Most inefficient system I've seen tonight . Melody was doing at least two or three peoples' jobs and was amazing! If it wasn't for her, everyone would've been waiting at least a hour for food. Isaiah was super obnoxious and just talking the entire time he should've been putting entrees in plates and serving orders. He also was cross contaminating by touching stuff by the cash register, the floors / shelves and then grabbing peoples orders without changing his gloves. Wish I would've had cash to tip Melody, she's the only reason I'm not giving this review one star read more

The employees were very rude and shut down our fundraiser. This had been planned ahead and they had two employees come and watch us. I was with two other girls and we are all under 18. We were having a fundraiser for an organization called HOSA to make first aid kits for people In Guatemala without any access to them. When my teacher called they informed her that they had cancelled the entire thing. They got to keep everything and didn't apologize to us for being rude. read more

I came in today at 11 am to pick up three 2-entire meals. First one had double order orange chicken. I was carrying an infant on my shoulder but as I got there I had no one in front of me in line. I got the food and carried it out with baby. 3 meals. I got home and gave my son in law his lunch. He opened it and said. No chicken. Just the rice and noodles. The box was penned In Code 2 Cix. For chicken. I call no answer. I left baby with him and drove across town back to panda. I went in straight to the register. Same guy. I told him no chicken. Really no apology. He gave me 2 fortune cookies as a token. Lol. As a side note the food is fresh and good here. They just need more staff. The whole restaurant should be doubled in size really. Usually long slow line. Restaurant needs to double size and have 2 separate lines going. Or build a 2nd location on north end of town by Lowes or at Target center. read more
