The breaded chicken is extremely sweet and usually cold. Avoid a dish that is fried.

I LOVE Panda Express food, but the service here was HORRID, they do not list the "Premium" foods but charge you MORE then the $1.00 additional item charge, shady shady shady. Granted it was 1 hour until close but "scraping" the bottom of the pan on the fried rice instead of making more is just crappy service. When I asked for "fresh" they said they were out. How are you out of fried rice? read more

So disappointing today , wanting to get a quick bite to go .. A couple ppl in front of us , Terry going back work after eating , all there was, was the cook & a server .. Even tho Terry went back to work , they were SO behind , couldn't even get the orders straight .. Couldn't get the ppl in line in order .. Terry looked like he was pissed off , had an attitude ! ... Wasn't smiling at all! ... As I know with customer service , u act like everything Is fine no matter how things r... This Panda Express needs Some Help BaD ! Hire more ppl now ! read more

I've always get like they skimp on the servings. I've never felt they left me with a lot. There seems to always be space left in the container where more could go. I feel like if the want the customers to be happy don't skimp on the servings. I don't want to leaving feeling cheated. read more

This was the worst panda express ever! My husband is bringing them both back tomorrow. My eggrolls were practically burnt, fried rice not cooked all the way, beef broccoli tasted like too much cornstarch and chowmein dry and gummy. Very disappointed. I was hungry too. No receipt with our return, but you can have it back anyway!! read more

Yet again they get rushed and forget how much stuff they gave you. Spend money to get rangoons and they didn't give me the right amount.

Long line. Friendly service. Cold and old veggies and meat. Dirty store. Below standards for this chain.

On 2-20-2021, I went to this Panda Express in Paso Robles (90 Niblick Rd). It was the worst experience I have ever encountered at a fast food restaurant over a $1 foundation drink. I spent $50 for my family on food. When I tried to get a refill of Sprite for my 8 year old son (who wasn't feeling well), I was told I could not get one. They said if I wanted to, I could buy another drink. I asked to speak with the Manager and was directed to John. John told me due to COVID-19 they were not allowing refills. I told John I was unaware of that and asked him to show me where it is displayed "No refills." John was unable to show me. I asked John for that reason, if I could get another drink for my son and he told me no and ask me to leave (After spending $50 there.) Customer service is horrible at Panda Express in Paso Robles. Unless you want to be treated like crap after spending your hard earned money, DON'T GO THERE! read more

This Panda Express was spot on with others I've been too. Ample seating. Nice outdoor seating area as well. Food was fresh and yummy. Friendly staff too. read more

As always this is a popular spot and the food is pretty uniform. However the speed of service is just awful. Wait time is consistently 30 minutes or more to place our food order. If the older gentleman, who I assume is the manager or owner, is not working then the crew works in super slow motion. Panda is an excellent idea but the store in Paso makes it a second choice for us. read more

This place has horrible customer service!! They had people waiting for so many different entrees cause they were all out and the cooks were so slow to put the entrees out.. mean while they are cracking jokes playing around and the servers are giving customers a horrible attitude cracking jokes with the cooks SMH. This is by far my worst dining experience in my life! read more

The food tasted great. The Beijing Beef & the Orange Chicken were crunchy, sweet & delicious. I definitely loved the stir fried vegetables. As far as changing anything, I do not believe anything needs to be changed. read more

I used to love Panda, but it has really gone down hill. Slow service, wrong orders, poor quality, etc. so disappointing.

I normally enjoy take out from the Paso Robles location, but today my online order was fulfilled incorrectly, and I could find no one to contact about it. Their website doesn't make it clear how to contact, and the phone just rang incessantly. After a long time spent watching my kids swim, I just wanted an easy take out meal. So they gave me only 2 entrees instead of 3, replacing one entree with a second chow mein. And while I had ordered the medium spring rolls and medium rangoons, (for $5 - $7, I might add!), they gave me the small cheaper size, same price. Super disappointed, and hangry. I will think of another fast food place on my way home next time. read more

We got 3 kids meals & a 2 entree meal to go. The food was consistent & good. The store though was understaffed, not friendly or welcoming, and not well maintained. I don't think I saw a single employee smile during my 20 minute wait. There was also a puddle under the soda fountain with a wet floor sign which apparently was considered good enough as no one attempted to clean it up. read more

I love being able to order our meals online, it is a great way to get the food my family loves quickly. Andre provided excellent customer service. read more

Food was fresh and delicious BUT customer service by Terry was very, very poor. He's rude.

I felt the need to delete my old review and start another. The store manager of this place needs to be fired. I stood in line for over 20 minutes while he was in the back on the computer during their peak dinner time. Line was basically to the back door. Starter was piling food up while the one placing entrees was confirming every order and making them, huge bottleneck, over 8-10 orders piled up and the starter wouldn't help until I suggested he do so. I'm an assistant manager of a fast food restaurant and never have I seen a fast food place run so poorly, hope to see changes soon. Also just threw my entire plate away, my white rice was so dry it was inedible, and my sweet fire chicken was under fried, and had so much sauce they had no crisp to them what so ever. read more

This place is super fast. Went in and there was just the right amount of line where I could figure out what I wanted without it being too long. Ordered and was out in about 7 minutes. I would go back again read more

We ordered online. Went in to pick up the order, which unfortunately my husband did not look at until he got it home. There were items missing. They would not answer the phone. Then when they did right before closing, I was told I would have to come back to pick up the items. I asked for a refund, and was told I would have to talk to the manager, who was not available. Tried to call several times the next day and no one answered the phone. Very, very poor service. I have noticed a significant decline in the service and quality of this location. Unfortunate read more

Panda is my go to for my Chinese cravings. I've always had pleasant service on exception great service. Today however was the worst experience. The portions were extremely small and Logan the young man who rang us up was EXTREMELY rude. He was short, in a rush dropped the receipt to be signed in front of my husband, our order was to go I had to ask for a bag which was apparently put this young man out. Two thumbs down to service and Logan's attitude. read more

Very friendly staff very respectful Abby was great and served us with a smile will be returning to this location me and my family we were very satisfied read more

This place is always seems to disappoint us. The staff always seem unorganized and never get orders right. They give very very small entrée portions and you always have to wait for food to be re filled. Staff is unfriendly and always appear unhappy and stressed. We keep returning hoping it will get better but it has not. read more

I don't know why they call it Panda "Express" with how slow the staff moves at this location. Maybe Sloth Express is more fitting? The food is still just as tasty when they finally do hand it over. read more

Gees the food is good but how about staff to actually ring up customers? When there are SEVEN orders waiting to pay management is INVISIBLE! read more

Way too few employees to accommodate a Saturday night dinner. Plus the online ordering just takes away from those waiting in line. Really need to have an employee at each station so they don't have to keep leaving people standing at the counter looking around wondering when they'll get to order. read more

My wife, her sister and I ate there last night. The food was not good. It had been sitting in the warming trays way too long so it was dried out and not very warm. We have been here many times before and each time lately has been worse. read more

This review is not about the food. The food is great. This review is about the service. I decided to get sone Panda for dinner last week and thebline was decently long, but I was in no hurry. The person in front of me had a pretty large order so I expected a bit of a delay, no biggie. Once it was my turn to order I got a bowl with chow mein and orange chicken. Then the line got held up waiting 5 minutes for more chow mein and my almost got thrown in with the people's behind me. There was absolutely no communication between then2 girls taking orders and the blonde one looked like she was falling asleep. They almost skipped me completely as well as orders getting orders backed up with styrofoam piling up all over the line. Once I finally got my food I went to go find a seat. Literally EVERY table was dirty. There appearantly weren't any spare employees to clean the restaurant. I can understand if someone was sick or something and they were short staffed, but a clean lobby should come before anything else. I think I will take my order to go next time. read more

This place was really disappointing The line was very long, but, they didn't have anything ready. People were waiting for about 20 minutes to get orange chicken. I asked how long it would be for brocolli beef and they told me it would be 7-10 minutes. I said that was fine, however, when I received my food 20 minutes later, I had no meat...NONE. I had 3 pieces of brocolli. They appeared to be properly staffed, but, they just weren't ready for the rush, I suppose. read more

Very disappointing. Stopped in for a late dinner on a Sat night. Waited forever - never acknowledged. After waiting 5 minutes, just walked out. I felt like they didn't want us there. Worse experience in a Panda Express - ever. I wonder if mgmt is aware?! read more

LOVE THIS PANDA. I'm a panda lover for sure & the girl today Isabella I felt compensated everyone perfectly for the amount of food that should be given every time anyone goes to panda! Always love a packed full plate!! With a smile she also accepted people's crazy request for mostly onions or anything that anyone else working in a fast past place would roll their eyes at!! Thanks girl!! Just had to let that be heard ! read more

Seeing some of the lesser reviews, I figured I could share my experience. I typically go any time in the evening. I have not had to experience many lines and when I have, they certainly weren't a 20 or 25 minute wait. I don't think I have every waited more than 10 minutes. Establishment seems to be clean every time and when the trash is full or customers spill things, I have always seen an employee in route to clean it up. The food: I was deployed for all of 2015 but coming back I noticed that some recipes had changed. However, I give it an easy thumbs up in my book. read more

Ordering online is a total joke. When you come to pick up they pretend like they never got the order and after waiting around for the to make it they still didn't get it right. Never again wasting time or money here again. read more

I use to love Panda . I use to eat at this Paso Robles location at least 2 times a week but for the past year 2016 every time I go I try to be there when it first opens for the day just so I can get freshly cooked food . But even at 11:00 when they open you walk in and the place is sticky , dirty and smells not good . Any time after 11:00 there will be a long line cause of being under staffed . They should have line servers that do only that , you should have cooks that just cooks , and people to work just the register and handle the money and not the food and or containers . They should also wear gloves when cooking and or serving food and also wear hair nets cause I've found hair in my noodles and raped around a piece of sweet & fire Chicken . I've asked the tall oriental manager to please wash his hands after handling money before you touch my container and handle the food . He got upset and just went around the corner and turned on the water but did not wash his hands so I walked out and my husband followed me out after his container was all ready made . So needless to say you have lost at this location that I know of is 13 people that I've talk to and of course my friends and family so your looking at about 30 or more customers. read more

Panda Express is a very good place to eat. It does get extremely busy and there are few workers. When I asked the workers why there were so few of them they had told me they were hiring and that no one was applying. So apply if you need a job! Other than that I love this place, I hate the people that complain about it being too busy. HELLO its the only Panda in Paso and if it bothers you so much how busy they are go somewhere else instead of crying about it on the internet. read more

I will never forget what happened to me: One rude food helper. When you call attention to hearing louder than mumbled onscenities they attack you. They attack you and shove your plates across hoping it falls behind the counter and the look on their faces imply food should have been scraped off the floor. I said excuse me. Nothing said he avoids eye contact but aggressively stares. Stares when I get the rest of my order and pay for it. Terry obvious anger issues won't change from each visit. You can tell by the way he holds back and what he responds is unsettling. The elderly woman in front of me experienced no worse but embarrassing comments from Terry. Standing next to me she tells me some days he doesn't have name tag and he purposely lied saying his name was Jeff. Terry you called the old lady "age old rich white snot" because she wanted to wait for fresh food.you thought it was justified and reasonable? Guess she didn't think the same. She was right to call you "shithead". Terry didn't like she replied back. Terry started yelling in his language. So loud I had to tell Terry to stop from further abusing her. A little while later I overhear elderly woman getting dismissed by rude manager. Manager didn't take complaint serious while adding "my boss won't help you and I won't help you. Not everyone will like their experience here". Who is your boss to get away allowing abusive behavior towards your guest. By her tone it wasn't the first time abusing strangers. Elderly woman gave the old finger. Hilarious manager turned red with anger. Seems fair reaction from action. Never coming to this drama panda. read more
