    Spring Valley. Nice & clean. Lots of parking. This place can get busy. Outstanding customer service from LIANH & NINA. Super cool & friendly. Food was delicious. Decent price for what you get. Highly recommend going to this location. I'll be back. Thanks.

    First of all i go In and i ask for a bowl and i ask for chow mein and she put me chow mein and fried rice which i obviously didnt ask for. Then i was waiting for them to put the orange chicken but the lady was making the order infront of me and then after they told me to move over and they started serving the lady behind me her food and i was also asking for teriyaki chicken and the cashier told me to hold on then the lady infront of me payed and lady behind me then finally i paid. There is also alot of lettuce overpowering the chow mein and they put me little bit of chicken

    My order number

    This is the second time I've ordered delivery and they have forgotten a complete item. Last time I don't remember what the item was but they also forgot the fortune cookies. Tonight I paid nearly $50 for two bigger plates for me and my sister. My plate was supposed to be white rice and fried rice, mushroom chicken, green bean chicken and teriyaki chicken. It came with zero mushroom chicken. I called the restaurant. They wanted to try to give me the runaround and tell me I could either come and pick something up or come in a few days and pick something up. I am disabled and I have a caregiver of an adult with special needs. I don't have time to come and pick up an item they surely should have sent.

    Kung Pao Chicken
    Jack M.

    I enjoyed a nice bowl of fried rice and chicken kung pao from this new Panda Express in Spring Valley, not to mention a unsweetened iced tea. The fried rice was well made, with good looseness and seasoning. The kung pao was very nice. It could of used a little more heat, but the chicken was tender and flavorful. I liked that the peanuts had good texture and came with just the right amount of red peppers, zucchini, and onions. It was a good meal. Service was super efficient and cordial. I have to say, this was one of the cleanest Panda Expresses I have visited. This location offers inside and outside seating.

    Portion size

    Imagine paying nearly $18!!!!! For this food portion ! This is just ridiculous. Okay whatever right. Fine. I asked for hot sauce and teriyaki sauce. You think I got that! NOPE! You would think they would put a fork at least! NOPE! safe to I feel like I was just molester here! Never going back such bs

    I have to say this Elite Yelp Event was so great!! The store was so efficient! quick, and friendly and welcoming too. The staff was on point!! It was staffed with employees that cared & had a excellent manager too working right along side them It was clean inside and busy the line wasn't bad. I was happy to see this Panda Express was busy and running smoothly with teamwork What loved then you walked in they had huge fan to stop any flies from coming in a big plus for me I got 2 bowls 1 walnut Shrimp 5/5 good dish 1 Beijing Beef 5/5. I love the their beef was packed with flavor and the beef was very tender 1 Orange Chicken 5/5 a go too standard :) 1 Honey walnut Shrimp 5/5 That's was a good event Thank you to all the staff who make it possible I want to give a big shout out to a wonderful CM Hannah for making this happen So thankful for this experience

    09/06/2022 Kudos to Spring Valley and I like this location. So proud to see how the community is growing!!!! They have ample parking. The fact that I'm picky with fried rice from panda express and got some and enjoyed it that says a lot to me.... nothing on my plate was burnt, everything taste fresh and flavorful as one would expect. I love the fact that they serve up some crunchy cream cheese Wong tongs. I and the other guest were greeted upon opening the door and entering this establishment. The AC was blowing and it was nice and cool inside. People were respecting social distancing as I arrived a little after 5 PM. By the time I left the line was getting longer but everyone was getting served in a timely manner. The foods hot, fresh and they are not skimpy with the servings. I love the steak with the super veggies. When I get a bowl this is a staple item for me from now on because the juice from the gravy mixed with those veggies into the super veggies in a bowl gives it so much flavor. The counters clean! Staffs wearing gloves. They have one restroom and you need the code. The fountain drinks are near after you pay. There's a huge table for larger parties or those who don't mind sitting a distance from others. The red lighting is beautiful and they have nice decor.

    Orange chicken and fried rice
    Regina P.

    Probably one of the best Panda Expresses I've been to! It's got a lot of parking (which is so helpful if you have ever been to one without that). When you walk in, it looks clean (yes I know it's new but it's wiped down and nice). The line was pretty long, but it was very quick moving. The manager was walking around asking for things needed to his staff, and maintaining the items of food that were low. I ordered the chow mein and broccoli beef... Both fresh and hot! My husband ordered the fried rice and orange chicken. He said they were also fresh and hot! They did not give just a little either, our bowls were packed! Definitely try this panda!!! You won't regret it

    This place is the best. I always go here by myself or with my band. The staff are friendly and also I kinda feel embarrassed because I feel like they recognize me after coming so many times.

    Beef and broccoli super greens and teriyaki chicken

    Delicious, healthy and convenient! This location is clean with a huge parking lot in the Spring Valley shopping center. I usually place a mobile order and pick it up. Staff is friendly and they make it easy to pick up the orders. Mobile orders are set on a shelf where you look for your name and pick up your bag. I love the healthy options! I always get the super greens as my main dish and pair it with any of the chicken or beef options they have. My go to fast food Chinese restaurant .

    Guys... I traveled far for this spot. I have a lot to say too... First of all, I never found myself…read morein La Mesa until this place. As usual, i stumbled upon a Tiktok video of a young gentleman who got the crispy beef and salt & pepper shrimp! OMG... I just had to try the shrimp. They didn't have shells so I thought, perfect. Even better. I can pop them in my mouth easily lol. We arrived close to noon on a Saturday. Appeared busy with to go orders being prepped and customers eating but the workers were attentive any way with seating us. There is even outdoor seating, perfect if you want to bring your furbaby. We also were given a small bowl of wonton chips on the house to start. That was nice :) Service was definitely 5/5 for me. The young worker with the glasses was very nice and was quick with everything. I loved that she had the customer's best interest. Without her, we wouldn't have known that we can do the lunch special (I assumed because it was a Saturday, that we couldn't), or that an item not listed on the lunch special menu was included, or that we can sub an additional eggroll for the soup. As if her customer service wasn't already top tier, the girl is fluent in Spanish! We were shocked, but honestly, great to know for those who only speak Spanish, she's got you :) I also wanted to mention that there was somebody's kid hanging out but I thought it was the sweetest thing how he would grab candy from the front and gave them to customers when they were seated. The menu is big! Lots to choose from. We just ordered off their lunch special menu. I actually do not know the time frame for the lunch menu but we came on a Saturday. It was nice that they offered their lunch menu on the weekend. Currently, their lunch special is priced at $14.95. Comes with your choice of Egg Flower Soup or Hot & Sour Soup, Steamed rice or Fried Rice, and an egg roll. However, if you do not want soup, ask for an extra egg roll :) We tried both soups, both were good. Even topped off the soups with the wonton chips they give you. Anyways our order was: Orange Chicken, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and Crispy Beef for the lunch special. Crispy Beef was NOT listed on the lunch special menu however, since I was just going to order an entree of it, the nice waitress asked if we would like it as a the lunch special. Yes, since you cannot beat the price for the amount of food you get. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I will say, though the S&P shrimp is delicious, it leans more on the saltier side. But, your girl will order this over and over as long as I have a good amount of water. I love the flavor regardless, and it is crispy. The crispy beef was crispy and delicious too; great flavor on it. The orange chicken, was exactly how it should be. Order it if that is your go to Chinese food order. Eggrolls were just veggie rolls but honestly, not bad. Perfect veggie rolls actually. I would order these items again. Bottom line, this is now my favorite Chinese restaurant. Lunch Special is the way to go, amazing price. Amazing food. I will be back and I want to try more items off the menu!

Their lunch value meals are served all day, and you truly can't beat the price for the amount of food you receive. The portions are generous, making it a super affordable option with great value. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The General Tso's Chicken was delicious, flavorful, and not greasy. The pork fried rice was amazing and paired perfectly with our meals. We also tried the Salt & Pepper Chicken -- the pieces were large, cooked all the way through, crispy, and not over-fried. The Salt & Pepper Shrimp was another favorite -- perfectly cooked, lightly crispy, and not oily at all. The Curry Chicken with vegetables lunch special for only $11.99 was such a great deal with a good-sized portion. Fresh food, great prices, generous servings, and delicious flavors -- we will definitely be going back for more! Also the service was great and clean. G

At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

Unsure if reheated or just sitting for awhile. The noodles were mushy as well. The pad Thai had a similar taste so both were thrown out. Money wasted. I did enjoy the gyoza and dumplings.
