This is the second time, I had a bad experience at Panda Express. I have avoided eating there for over a year now and I decided to stop by to get a quick bit before school starts. I got a rice bowl with kung pao chicken. There's barely any chicken and 1 tablespoon of peanut. I will never eat at Panda Express again! read more

This location continues to disappoint. Items are often not stocked or look like they have been sitting all day. The manager is constantly barking orders over employees shoulders and takes everything away from the experience. Busy or not, this manager races you through her line like she's a NASCAR pit boss. My family were the only ones in the restaurant this weekend and she hurried us along. In her haste she left off half of our order, my sides of sauce, and asked us to pay twice. We of course didn't pay twice but she was so hurried she didn't realize we already paid. While I voluntarily visit this location I always kick myself. This visit was a two star which I'll say, is the highest they've earned in 2021. read more

I used to come to this location all the time. Last time I was there the service was terrible. They made us wait long for the chow main. Finally, when they brought the chow main they started serving other people didn't even care about our order. If I wouldn't get up and asked them to finish my order they wouldn't even care. The food is ok but service is bad. I'm not going back to this place no more. read more

I'm not one to complain much, especially about "fast food"..1 pm, I get a plate of fried rice , and string beans(green beans) and chicken. Nothing looked under 2 hrs old unfortunately. I'm getting sick of paying good money for no good product, and big business just keeps getting away with it. I usually have a good experience at this location, probably my favorite one. Why is consistency so difficult. Truthfully I'd like my money back, the green beans and chicken are inedible! Truly disgusting to be honest. I guess it's my fault for not walking out mid serving, I just can't bring myself to do that. It's not the first time , and I'm sure it's not the last. I guess more of us need to stand up, and say, that's unacceptable! read more

Panda Express - Fried rice and green beans and chicken. The green beans are inedible! - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Walked in at 9:15pm when they close at 10pm with extremely limited available food options which were orange chicken and rice. It seemed like the employees thought they would be leaving work early tonight but as more customers walked in after me that's when the chaos began. Customers questioned why there was no food considering it was still early and there was one cook. However staff got defensive when customers questioned their lack of food options and then staff proceeded to tell customers you are being rude and therefore the customer needed to leave. One customer cussed at an employee which was totally wrong and my mouth dropped when the employee representing Panda decided to return the favor with a few cuss words of their own. Then I overheard one employee state we stop cooking at 9:30pm but when I walked in a 9:15 it was obvious clean up had started and they were ready to clock out. Keep in mind I come to this location since there is very limited options open past 9pm when I get out of ARC and can imagine other customers are getting out of work late and are trying to get a bite to eat on their way home. Do better Panda as we are generally college students or late night workers who walk in past 9pm. read more

I understand that this is a kids meal, but if I can see the bottom on the container... Is it really worth $6. The manager stepped in to make sure the portions were smaller than the customers before us. So yes, this was 100% intentional. read more

Panda Express - Kids meal $6 - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Maria made this an awesome experience, it wasn't busy at all, but the cooks were playing in the back while she helped the front line. Ive been in the service industry, this tends to happen a lot. Maybe she was the manager, idk, but SUPER helpful and acknowledged me first even while juggling another customer. Massive Cust service skills read more

Went in right before closing. I got a plate and a bigger plate and they said it would take time because they needed to make more chowmein. I noticed there was a bunch of spring rolls left so I ordered a couple orders and they had me pay before I got my food and I get home to see that there are no spring rolls at all read more

Nice people and clean. When I got there the store is kind of busy but the wait time is great.they move the line quickly read more

Initially dropped by to grab Starbucks but the smell of Panda Express was so inviting that my bf wanted to come in after our order at Starbucks. They had one of their employees cleaning the window outside, not a problem but she was standing on the top of the rail of their small little step ladder. Seems to be doing it a lot to be able to balance herself and clean windows. If you can invest in a Panda Express Delivery Car owned by Family then I'm sure you can invest in a more suitable ladder for your employees to clean the windows. It's a clean place and it has a big lounge. Staff is friendly and professional. All in all, Panda is just like every other Panda out there. read more

2 years later and we still find hair in our food! We decided to give this location another chance because it was on our way home and they still cant keep their hair in the hats! read more

ILL NEVER GIVE THIS PLACE MY BUSINESS AGAIN. I've been going here for years and I just had my first terrible experience. Amy dished up my food for my Postmates order and she claims she gave me the correct portion of chicken for my kids meal. It's a complete joke, clearly there's no substantial amount of chicken in the plate (see pic) I called in to address the issue and Amy decides to have an attitude telling me "I know it's correct amount I scooped it in there" and as I say "there's literally no chicken in here" she replies with terrible customer service manner and says "well I know what I put in there" and is leaving me hanging with a hungry kid. Since I can't get in the car at the moment and go down there, I'm stuck with this joke of an order and a hungry kid. read more

It's panda... Not much special about haha. Got broccoli beef, mushroom chicken with half noodles half white rice. Rice was under cooked and slightly hard :( and the beef in the broccoli beef had a gritty texture it was weird. Other than that it was pretty standard panda express. read more

I ordered online pick-up and it's said it'll be ready at 1:50 p.m., i came right on time. They weren't ready with my orders.. I had to wait 10 minutes. So ridiculous. read more

We ordered two bigger plates with chow mein and shrimps/chicken. Everything was good and tasty, chicken is not too spicy. Thanks!

I went to this panda at 7:34pm 09/22/2020. While I was next in line at the food bar I saw a big bug that look like a roach in size but the color was carmel brown crawling next to the food bar. I called out but no one answered so I smacked it with a menu and gave it to the employee. She said hold on and then came back to tell me she told manager. At this time I said there is another one crawling over the under ceiling and when I tell another employee acts like I was wrong till another employee once again said the managers knows. Finally at time to pay I see another by my foot. At this time after I paid I am upset that the manager did not come out to address us. If it's due to there tired of complaints then maybe it's time for a fumigation. read more

Had the worst experience at this location. Would not honor the survey and kept questioning on how it was filled out and at the end blamed that there is. I button to press to provide good service. read more

This place is awful. I came here last time after looking at a new car across the street for some food. The food is OK, but then the people who work here are awful. I had some problem with the food, and I ended up speaking with the manager. That fat Asian woman who worked there just blew me off. She swore nothing was wrong with my order. She didn't even bother listening to what I said. What ever happen to customer is right. This person said she was the manager but acted like a HS student. read more

By far one of the worst panda's in town!!! i come from school on my way to work i stop here at about 845 -9pm, the only food bowls that are full are the rice, the veggies and chow mien. All other bowls of entrees are not even enough for 1 serving!!! out of 2 items i wanted, settled for 2 others that were last scoops. I don't have time to wait as I'm on my way to work. This is not the first time that this has happened and looking at the reviews, it's a constant occurence in the evening. Sounds like corp. needs an email or call!!! read more

Since my last update their customer service has improved. I really hope it stays that way. It's been a good experience when I go in now.

Usually this store is pretty good. However, today the person who rang me up handed me my food and didn't even bother saying thank you. I saw her name on the receipt and called back and asked for the manager. Much to my surprise the very person who couldn't muster up a thank you is the manager! My response was "you've got to be kidding me". I told her that not saying thank you was piss poor customer service. She replied "I'm sorry that you feel that way have a nice day" and ended the call. Seriously? I feel that way??? No. Dumb ass! That is absolute common basic business 101. You should not be working until you learn that. Bottom line is Alexia needs to have some training. read more

Came in without a mask, I didn't even realize it. Ordered my food, was giving my card to pay for it until the manager walked up and said I have to put a mask on, I told her I forgot it and don't have one. She said she cannot serve me, I JUST NEEDED TO PAY. this is insane, guess who's not getting my business any longer, and I was a regular here. read more

Just left this place and they are horrible with the portions! They will literally scoop food back from your plate if they think it's too much! It's horrible because I'm sure the employees are told how much they should put on there and honestly, I'm better off ordering a dish at a Chinese restaurant for the same amount of money and the food isnt under a heat lamp and the portion isn't controlled. I've had panda at plenty of locations before and this location is just not where you want to go if you want your money's worth. read more

Very stingy on food. Lady was nice but gave us a fake smile and said she wasn't allowed to serve more because its what they allow. I saw her giving other people more. Especially with kids meals. Roseville serves way more. Very upset. She didn't even give my child her cookie! read more

The lady named Samaria is professional welcomer, she did like a champ. Was polite and nice to customers and us. The food is not that great but ok. The only 5 star reason is the Samaria. I will come again if I want panda again read more

The honey sesame chicken was dry and tasteless.....terrible meal!! Brown rice was dry and tasteless too. Very disappointed in entree.

Really love this Panda Express near Starbucks! While it is the typical Americanized Chinese food, there's something about the food at Panda Express that makes it a easy choice when buying for my family. This location has very friendly staff and while I prefer to order online and pick up, has never let me down unless you count the time they didn't give me properly filled sweet and sour cups (that hasn't happened recently, thankfully!) The only hassle is the parking. Not enough and half the time I wonder if someone might back into my vehicle. If this place had more parking, I would probably go here more often. read more

Usually great but Dustin did not give me swee and sour sauce nor my fortune cookie despite eye contact and verbally acknowledged request. Felt like I didn't get them on purpose. I also was not offered any additional supplement or option when I wanted broccoli and beef but there was less then one serving left. They have often given a small portion of secondary entree to customers when one is nearly gone but I was not offered this and I fact told no. Inconsistent. read more

I dont normally like Panda Express, but my meal was very very good. And the manager who has been here all day on 2.18.2020 was super friendly, put people on a great mood. Best panda Express I have ever been to. read more

The parking lot is always full. But you have the employees who always parks in the lot in the best spots right by the entrance to the restaurant facing Madison Ave. It is frustrating to have to park in the Chase bank parking lot and walk over while your employees take the best spots. I've spoken to the employees and the manager and they could care less. One of the vehicles is a dark blue Scion and the other is a silver Scion. Those cars sit there all day and the customers have to walk from nearby parking lots! Great Customer Service! read more

I ordered my food online for delivery to my home. I didn't get the soda I ordered. I got charged for it but it didn't show up. Portions seemed a little less too. You usually get more food. From what I see of the reviews this seems to be a current problem with this location. read more

The lunch I just had here was unbearable. I've eaten at Panda Express a gazillion times and though I'm not a huge fan of it, the food is not bad. Au contraire. The chow mein noodles were thin and cooked al dente, which probably attributed to the dish being overall dry and tasteless. The orange chicken, which is usually my staple, was hard and stale, like it had been sitting out for days instead of just made for the lunch crowd. Also got beef broccoli which had a very strong chemical flavor maybe from pesticides for the broccoli? Ugh. The only positives for my experience was the really friendly staff and the cream cheese wontons, which were busted out of the frozen bag and fried up for me when I ordered. No MSG? I don't think so panda! I do not feel good after this meal. read more

These guys are failing the take-out test during this pandemic. And they've had about a month to work out the kinks. I'm an essential worker and had an appointment with law enforcement at 1pm. I order online at 12:15pm and it says that the order will be ready at 12:31pm. I show up at 12:35pm and am ready to wait up to 5 minutes, because I'm aware this process isn't 100% accurate, despite this technically being fast food as the food is pre-cooked and ready to serve. There are multiple people waiting outside the door that's propped open (but blocked) for pickups. Far less people than would normally be there pre-pandemic. From the door you can see multiple orders ready to go and lined up on the counter. However, after a good 10 minutes of all of us standing there, no employee has come to the open door to ask our names to find out if any of those orders belong to us. At this point I shout into the building to ask someone to come over and see if they can match up any of these orders going cold to any of the people just standing there. Someone shouts that they'll check, but that doesn't end up happening for another 5-10 minutes. I end up getting my order, which was sitting there, at 1pm and get back to the office a few minutes late, where the appointment is waiting for me, wondering if I'm going to show up at all. So effectively 45 minutes, when normally I'd be in and out of a Panda Express in less than 10. Won't be bothering with Panda again at least until the pandemic is over. They seem to have made a simple process much more complicated than it needs to be. read more

Went on a Saturday at 7:30pm, two people a head of us. Ordered the two entree of orange chicken and broccoli beef with white rice and a large chow mein. Was underwhelmed by it all. Orange chicken was not very orangey and the broccoli had been sitting a while. Friend ordered the BBQ pork and sweet and sour pork. The BBQ pork was dry. read more
