I had been craving Panda. Went in at lunch time... they were busy busy. At this location the store is small... I've always seen people out the door. Now I know why. But the line moved quickly. I ordered a bowl half fried rice/ super greens and teriyaki chicken. I asked for fresh greens so I had to wait a few minutes. All in all in and out in less than 15 minutes. Food was fresh and delicious. read more

extreme wait time. Store appears to be doing 10 to go order for every 1 in store customer. line is out the door and we are all waiting while they make a bunch of orders for people who aren't here. They are running out of every item by doing said to-go orders and then apologizing to in store customers for the wait on repeat. This is insane. My cortisol levels are through the roof. I just want to get out of here. I will never come to this location again. I should have gone to chick fil a. epic failure. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

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. read more

Yummy food, great portions for the price!! glad it's a mile from home!! Just gotta come before lunch/dinner rush cause it gets packed!

The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with soft lighting and a warm atmosphere. The food is always delicious! The flavors were well-balanced and the presentation was beautiful. My server was friendly and attentive, ensuring I had a great experience. The only minor issue was the wait time for our appetizer, but it was worth it for the main course. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and enjoyable dining experience. read more

This location is the best! Open late and has the best customer service! Kendy helped us out tonight and we really appreciate her thoughtfulness. She made sure we were taken care of when our order took longer than expected! You could tell she truly cared about giving good service, and her positive attitude made our whole experience better. Please give her some recognition for being such a warm and respectful employee! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sharvea was friendly and helpful and professional and very helpful and knowledgeable about the food she got the order right thank you!

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 read more

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 . read more

Panda Express - Beef and broccoli super greens and teriyaki chicken - Chinese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This is the worst food order I have ever received. This is what $9 dollars gets you. This is supposed to be a bowl with beef and broccoli. See the 4 tiny pieces of meat. The rice was packed all the way to the top. I had to take out the broccoli to find the beef. Terrible. Just terrible and disappointing. read more

Panda Express - Bowl - Chinese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Line moves quickly and very efficiently. Your typical franchise. This is a newer franchise that just opened up in a plaza with many other new places. read more

Food was purchased on 06/21/2025 half fried rice and noodles, orange chicken, broccoli beef. The food was terrible, rice wasn't seasoned the noodles were overcooked and orange chicken hard, broccoli beef had no flavor. I don't know if they have a new cook on the weekends but he needs to be fired horrible food. I'm a regular customer at this place and I know what the food should taste like . I took the food back and complain they gave me some noodles and orange chicken. The noodles still taste the same but the chicken was more tender. read more

Service made me smile, food was better than other locations. Environment was busy though

This panda express is fairly new so it's clean and looks very nice. But the fact that it's new is they have no concept of any panda express guidelines. I've given them a chance multiple times but it really is below par on customer service and quality. Today was my last time at this location. I ordered a big plate with noodles including sizzling shrimp, walnut shrimp and seasem chicken breast with a side of 2 chicken egg rolls. The walnut shrimp was fine as was the seaseme chicken. But the sizzling shrimp and egg roll were a problem. I received 4 shrimp and after ordering 2 chicken egg rolls only received 1. But was charged full price on both items. If this is their profit margin I highly do not recommend frequenting this panda express. I've been shorted many times before but this was the last straw on the camels back for me. I recommend any other panda express except for the Sweetwater road location. read more

Ordered online, expecting my food to be ready when I got here. However my food was just sitting on the bay and now 13 minutes after my food was supposed to be ready... then now I was told that they are waiting for the shrimp. Why indicate my order was completed when it wasn't. I would've never come when I did if it wasn't completed yet according to the app. I scheduled it for a specific time because I have an appointment at 5pm. read more

Panda was super busy but the line was moving pretty quickly . I ordered the chicken teriyaki and the chicken was a tad fatty and the fried rice for some reason was a little hard . Idk if it was a tad undercooked. The orange chicken was pretty good but oh my goodness the side containers get smaller and smaller ! It was super that Panda included a plus one. The place was pretty clean and customer service was good ! read more

Panda Express - Chicken Teriyaki with fried rice and fried rice bowl - Chinese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

It was great visiting Panda Express's new location in Spring Valley, CA! As a disclaimer, I visited as a Yelp Elite guest. Located conveniently on Sweetwater Rd off the 125, by the time I arrived with my hubby (a.k.a. forever +1) they were busy with a line out the door by 6pm on Thursday. Once we entered the dining room, it was clearly hopping with a vibrantly busy dining room and at least a half-dozen staff working rapidly and effectively. I was especially impressed by the great communication in their open concept kitchen. While I wished the entryway was longer to accommodate more people in their comfortable indoor queue on a hot East County day, I enjoyed the modern and spacious interior of this Panda Express location. We had a smooth and courteous experience getting our two bowls - delicious & fresh 1/2 chow mein 1/2 super greens bowls with honey walnut shrimp. The tempura batter was crisp and soaked up the honey sauce with a pleasant consistency. I was craving crunchy textures, and my bowl was served with plenty of walnuts and the super greens were crisp without being overly bitter. Meanwhile, the chow mein base had a nice balance of vegetables (mainly celery) to noodles. Great addition to the well-renowned Panda Express restaurant chain and to the Spring Valley region! read more

The last time I had Panda Express was at an airport so I was really happy to have it again yesterday. This location isn't placed in a mall which was great and there is plenty of parking, I would just worry about the Starbucks driving close by, people drive a little wild. It's been really hot in San Diego and my husband and I did not want to cook, we ended up getting dinner at Panda Express and man, I am glad. Because this is a new location I felt like the food was so much better than I remember. The cream cheese rangoon were crispy and packed with cream cheese and the vegetable spring rolls were crunchy and packed with filling. So we ended up chicken teriyaki, orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp. That teriyaki chicken is delicious, you really don't need the sauce because it's so tender and flavorful! Plus, they give you such a good portion. My husband ended up putting the teriyaki chicken in his quesadilla later that night. The orange chicken was really good too, nice citrus flavor and super tender chicken! The honey walnut was good, but not as good as those classics. Will definitely be coming back, Panda Express has definitely gone up in my book! read more

So excited to have been selected to be part of this Yelp Elite event! My husband and I went at dinner time and we were happy to see the place packed. Our ordering process was quick and easy, everyone behind the counter was extremely helpful and friendly. We ordered two Beijing bowls with Chow Mein, one Teriyaki Chicken and one Honey Walnut Shrimp with rice. All of the food was boxed quickly, we were offered condiments for everything and were sent on our way with a big thank you and smile. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, the Honey Walnut Shrimp was a new try for us and we highly recommend. The restaurant was clean and had a good amount of seating indoors and out, as well as ample parking. Definitely a welcomed addition to Spring Valley. read more

Ventured out to this location as part of a Yelp Event this week. This area has gotten a huge upgrade since the last time I was in this area! Nice surprise!! The location was right off the freeway and easy to find! There was plenty of parking spots available. Happy to report that there were also many handicap spots available as well. There was a nice little area for outdoor seating and a good sized seating area inside too. It's nice to see a location open up that was built with enough space to versus adding a restaurant into an already packed building that has an opening available. I ordered 2 bowls. My first bowl was chow mein and the original orange chicken. My second bowl was teriyaki chicken and steamed rice. These are my go-to orders so I knew what to expect taste wise. And they tasted just like they do at every other location I've ever been too. Sadly I had a lot of fatty pieces of teriyaki chicken... Alexa was the employee who helped me at the register. She was so friendly! Once she got handed the food I ordered, she double checked that it was what I wanted before placing it in a bag. She was very efficient. I really appreciate them double checking to make sure the order is correct because it is such a bummer when you get home from ordering fast food and an order is not correct. read more

Panda Express - Beijing beef orange chicken rice - Chinese Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This Panda Express has the Absolute Worst food I have ever had. I ordered king pao chicken and it's absolute mush, no flavor. The side of steamed broccoli is disgusting and raw. I urge people to go to the Chinese take out on Broadway near IHOP. Their food is absolutely fresh and quarter of the price. To the Panda Express Manager, I urge you to properly train your employees and offer cooking classes to them. Your food is horrible. read more

I came in to get two 2 item s plates on my lunch break. I wanted mushroom chicken and Beijing beef. What was available looked very old and not fresh. I asked to have fresh entrees and waited for them to prepare them. When i got back to the office i noticed that the girl that was serving had still put the old food in my container!! I waited wasting my lunch for nothing because she still gave me the old food that look disgusting! I'm not happy at all. Wasted $22 read more

I just realized I left a review here over a year ago, happy to say that review stands. Easily the best panda I've gone to in San Diego. Also the manager is always going above and beyond and always has a great attitude. I really appreciate all the employees as this branch read more

The food tastes old :( I had to wait for my "fresh" super greens & they taste like they're going bad. The "orange chicken" is more like LEMON CHICKEN! Very bitter :p I was craving Panda Express, but I quickly regretted it. Blah. I ordered online so I could just pick it up & still had to wait. Not coming back to this location, no thanks. read more

From beginning to end. Service was amazing. I came in and I was welcomed right away. As I was ordering I was in a way indecisive about my order but the young ladies were patient and took the time to make my order correctly. At check out I was advised about the app that gives points and discounts. She took the time to help me sign up. Not only that but the food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I definitely recommend this location! read more
