Good service Julio, that man has good customer service, other reviews say slow but I had a good experience.

I really do hope the owner of this restaurant reads this. Owner of this location just know you are losing money with those lazy workers you have that close. We understand that they close at 10:00 PM but if I show up at around 9:00PM I expect food and quality service no matter the time. These children that run your restaurant obviously want to leave ASAP once 10:00 pm hits. But it doesn't work like that you have to take care of the customer until the last call. I wish they hired responsible adults instead of lazy children that complain about work. read more

It was our first time coming to this exact location. They saw that we were kids and we were also first in line. Slowly more and more people came. They already finished our order but didn't give it to us until they finished doing the other people's orders that were BEHIND us. They gave the food to us last even though we came earlier than the other people. read more

The slowest panda ever invented they take CARE OF ALL THERE PHONEORDERS BUT NOT THE PEOLE THAT STAND IN LINE. They are more worried for the phone orders than the people walking in. So far I've been in line for 35min and still no service!! Don't waist your time go to McDonald read more

This is the place to come if you want your order to be thrown at you. And a manager to do nothing but say "sorry for the inconvenience".

Panda Express - Need better management - Chinese Near Me - South El Monte, California

Hello panda express. I'm Jon. I went to your store yesterday at 3:30 pm. I placed an online order for 3:30 pickup. When I arrived my order was not ready. I was asked if I was picking up an order by the mgr. I answered yes nd gave the name. My plate was on the counter but not being made. Since I work in food service, as well as management, I understand the order of operations for the various tasks in different workplaces. The mgr said it would be ready asap. The customers who were in line before I arrived were being helped 1st. This is a constant "fast food" issue with your company, as well as many others. My order was placed "online" at 3:15 exactly. I remember, because I scheduled my pickup for 3:30. As an online customer, I am supposed to be able to count on my food being ready at the pickup time I select, otherwise what is the point of having the option? So anyway, I waited patiently while the mgr "wiped the counter" instead of making my food as soon as she saw other employees were unable due to them helping people in line. The mgr should have taken "initiative" and got right on top of the next task quickly. I don't eat out very often. This is a prime example of why it truly makes no sense to not cook for yourself in this day and age. I haven't even got to the worse part. Once we(my wife and 3 daughters)got home with the food and unwrapped it and sat down at our family dining table, I thought to myself how great "panda express" was about to be. I remember thinking, "I haven't eaten all day". The fried rice was crunchy and cold. The noodles were cold and dry, extremely dry. The teriyaki chicken was burnt. The only item that was "ok" was the walnut shrimp. Not good, just ok. I am deeply hurt by this experience with your company/location. It shows me yet again why I choose to eat out once maybe twice a year. The customer service was unacceptable. The attention and care to the preparation of the customers food is vital for you to receive "repeat customers". This experience deserves "zero stars". I would appreciate someone from your store or corporate to reach out to me and "make this right". I've spent quite a bit of money with your company worldwide over the last 45 years of my life, and I sure don't feel like panda cares about that. Thanks for taking time out of your day to read and help me. read more

Poor customer service. I notified employees about my celiac & was met with attitude and overall poor service. I asked about the ingredients as most items are not labeled gluten free & I assume they are not due to the sauces Panda uses, but the employee (I'm assuming the manager or tl as she was wearing black) couldn't tell me about the sauces & the other employee rolled her eyes. I don't mean to be difficult, I just want to be able to enjoy my food but these employees didn't have the patience & made it known with their facial expressions. Employees were in such a rush (no ppl waiting btw) that the cashier did not provide me my exact change (cents lol)? I usually don't complain, but being nice doesn't require much energy. Very upsetting & unwelcoming experience. read more

I had a disappointing experience at this location today. The store was not busy, yet three employees were standing around while my order was incorrect. As a DoorDash driver, accuracy is very important because mistakes directly affect the customer and my job. Unfortunately, I was given the wrong order, which caused an issue for the customer. I hope Jasmine the manager addresses this so future orders are handled more carefully and efficiently. read more

As we were waiting we realized there was bugs in the food, jumping in and out of the food. We tried letting the girl working know, we just said "excuse me" and she said I'll be right with you rudely and just walked away. 7/31 @ 8:40 pm read more

Panda Express has very good Chinese food. I have ordered from them 4 times.And each time is better than the last time. Love the way they have their food from small,medium,to large.and their prices are very good. read more

Don't bother ordering online. My online order showed it was ready. I received text message to pick up my order. I went to the counter and the supervisor told me it will be ready shortly. Ten minutes later my order still not ready. I decided to cancel my order when I noticed the line was quicker and everyone in line was getting their food before me. Online ordering is useless. read more

I think they forgot to add meat to my order. I'm saying I think because I don't want to say they purposely scooped up only broccoli but they are the ones that scooped themselves. This plate was for my son, my spicy order would not work for him. I picked up to go and unfortunately was disappointed to say the least. I called and they said I could go back but I wasn't going to get all my three kids in the car to drive back they should've done it correctly the first time. They said I can go in and get an extra plate for free next time. However I have to bring my receipt. Well I no longer have my receipt so it's pretty shitty. read more

Rarely get panda for this reason lol But the girl helping out the family in front of us and then assisting us was rushing like crazy. There wasn't many people in line besides us so I'm not sure what the rush was but she carelessly threw my plate together. read more

I come here several times a week for lunch. I go in early to avoid the lunch rush. The store is always clean, and they will have most of the dishes ready, and will happily make something if they don't have it. Jasmine, Diana and the rest of the crew are always awesome. read more

We usually pre-order for pick-up but sometimes we still have to wait. So this time we went in. And waited even longer. 4 of the entree's bowls were empty and the rest were half empty. We saw more boxes waiting where the entrees should be. And at least two grub-hub drivers waiting. Because we were waiting so long for our food some of it was cold. The lady taking our order seemed rude and impatient. I'm so sad to see panda service going down along with the food. read more

I normally love this place ... but today (12/3/24 at 4pm) who ever is cooking is doing a terrible job ... I ordered the mushroom chicken and walnut shrimp with rice and chow mein and it all taste bland ... read more

Don't bother ordering online for pick up. They said my pick up time is 120pm got there at 125 and the order was not ready. There was a good amount of people in line. They all got their food before I did. I should of just lined up and it would of been faster. Even people coming in after me got food before i did. Chicken ran out so i had to wait for new one. I was also in a rush. I didnt get my food until 140. There are ton of other reviews just like mine read more

Craving Orange Chicken, yum! I was craving Orange Chicken and got one Pork Eggroll. The Orange Chicken was delicious and a lot, even for a small box. The pieces were both large and small. Crispy and great for eating while watching Hallmark Christmas stories. Pork Eggroll: Yum! Felt like I was eating at my Mom's. My order also came with two Fortune Cookies and three Sweet and Sour packets. They also gave me two Siriach packets, but threw those away, lol! Service was fast and nicely prepared by Panda Express and Uber Eats. read more

Bald Asian guy was very rude and didn't wanna put the right amount of food just to save it was already 9 and they close at 10

Can't believe that this location being a mostly Hispanic community the servers don't speak Spanish. I recently witnessed an only Spanish speaking customer was trying to order and the server acting like didn't speak the language with the smirk on her face SMH! won't come here, anymore read more

One of the worst service I have ever experienced. Food doesn't taste the same. Someday veggies could be no taste and someday it could be so salty. Today, cash register froze but a charge shows up on my credit card app. The person who was there insisted that if no receipt means no charge. I do not believe that no receipt means no charges. I left without my food and will dispute this charge with my credit card. I will never ever go back to this Panda Express again. read more

Usually, Panda Express should be consistent and always tasteful. I wish this was consistent, but today... I really had enough of this BS. Everything I ordered was smothered with garlic and although I love garlic, this made my meal inedible. I guess it's time to just go to a traditional Chinese express restaurant to get better care. read more

Picked up a catering order from the app for the first time today... the price was great but what was even better is the kind staff at the store were willing to adjust the pick up time for the order! Everything wanted and needed for today was hot fresh and ready. A young woman with the cutest hairstyle and most pleasant personality named Diana had everything ready on time set up perfectly and was ultra polite when handling the request that were made. This Panda Express is clean and ultra cute I love the little chalk board sign the staff puts up with hearts and cartoon drawings on it ! Very clean sit down take out bustling with customers but fast on point service catering menu is great for a work lunch and the time can always be adjusted reasonably with management if need be.Appreciated the service and staff here so much ! Thanks for a great experience and those apple pie eggrolls were different but delicious in a good way! (The food was gone before I could even take a picture though!) read more

I've been here a few times but not a good experience today. Took a bite of broccoli and it was super salty! The rest of the food was ok. What made me feel a little uncomfortable is when one of the workers started sweeping the floor while customers were eating! After about 5 minutes of sweeping, she then used the broom to sweep the surface of the 2 chairs next to my table. Like are you serious?! You used the broom on the floor to sweep food and dirt! read more

I decided to give this place another chance yesterday at they are still a mess. I was the only customer in line, but I waited 5 minutes before anyone helped me because they were working on online orders. I watched them use the last of both the entrees I wanted filling the online orders and was told I needed to wait. I wound up going next door for lunch. read more

First the good, Matt was polite and professional. The food was hot and well cooked. The bad, this isn't weight watchers. The portions given were small. I don't go to Panda Express for small portions. This is a chain that has always delivered full to go containers. This time around for whatever reason, the portion was small of both items, noodles and chicken. Due to my job I'm frequently in this area and won't be coming to this Panda Express again. If you don't mind 30% smaller portions than this place was clean with professional staff. read more

The staff here neglect the customers. While preparing my order the worker picked the burnt charred inedible trash at the bottom of the bowl and put it in my plate. read more

Worst service ever. Never experienced this but I guess there's a first time for anything. Made a mobile order, received a text message stating order was ready. Went to pick it up, all employees told me "sorry your order is not ready". Waited 10-15 minutes extra until manager said, "oh I'll work on your order right now". I asked an employee why I revived the text if my order wasn't ready and she stated, "oh I don't know we've been receiving many orders like that". Okay cool whatever. Just didn't make sense when everyone, including manager telling me that they were still working on it, but towards the end manager "works" on it. To "make up" for the time waiting the manager offers me some egg rolls (plural) but proceeds to give me 1 egg roll and this is how it looks. Didn't open nor check my order until I got home and was instantly disgusted and confused. Meanwhile everyone is laughing and chitchatting (including the manager) & I'm having the best patience I can give, I receive all this. There were only maybe 2 employees that were actually working. Additionally, ordered Hot Orange Chicken but was given the regular. Never going back again and hope management changes their leadership and professionalism. read more

Service is horrible! Double check your orders and make sure they put utensils and whatever else you ask for. Currently sitting in my car trying to eat my food with my hands because they're too busy socializing and talking to even put utensils in the bag. I don't have enough time to go back cause I have 8 hours left on my 12 hour shift. They're getting paid over $20 an hour to stand around and socialize. read more

Today I went to this panda express location and order a bowl with chow mein Beijing beef and mushroom chicken. I get a small portion of beef lot of bell peppers also Chow mein was so hard to chew and pay 8.80 is not worthy.not coming back will go somewhere get my money worthy .so sad. read more

The ambiance in this store was amazing. I came in around evening and the store was filled with people eating laughing and just chilling. The guests welcomed me as soon as I entered the store and they immediately served me. Also, I donated to the charity thing they have and the workers thanked me , even a random lady said thank you out of confusion. The chowmein was fresh today, the broccoli beef, and the kung pao chicken. 10/10 read more

I should have read the reviews. I've been to several panda express in the southern California area for years. First time at this location and it was the worst! I literally only signed up for yelp just to review this location. I ordered bigger plate, comes with 3 entrees. I don't have a pic of everything but you can see very little sesame chicken and the pieces are really small. The beef and broccoli was just broccoli with 3 pieces of beef about the size of a nickel. Black pepper Angus steak, which we pay extra for this extreme, only had 4 small pieces of steak, and 2 slivers of mushrooms. If you see the sesame chicken in the pic, there was half that amount for the black pepper angus steak. And why is the chow mein do chewy and dry? I asked for sweet and sour, had to go back in because they forgot an entree on another order and again.... told them sweet and sour sauce, still didn't get any. Every other panda the portions are almost triple what they give. It's more worth it to drive longer and go to a good panda. read more

Honestly, those people at the cashier packing your food need to be trained. Left with my meal & no plastic ware nor napkins. But they have the time to ask if I wanna to donate the change. They are acting like McDonald. Trash food n service it is. read more

A little put off by all the bad reviews, but my grandpa wanted Panda so I picked this location. Ordered online for pick up around 11am. Food was perfectly fine. Service was good. Food all looked fresh and tasted like it should. Guy working the front was super nice and thanked me for patiently waiting while he packed all 5 of my orders. No complaints at all. read more

Worst effn service here ever. They charge you $7.63 for no chicken. Literally this is the bowl i got. Rude service. Chinese Deli serves more food than this over rated Panda Express. The sizes promoted on Yelp are false advertisement. To top it off the fortune cookie didnt even have the fortune paper inside. What a horrible lunch experience ever. read more
