    I know this guy doesn't care but......... I purchased my food using a card & after eating I realized I needed some cash change. -- 5 bill to 1 bills -- I walked up to the counter and asked this guy for change and he said "you have to purchase something". I pulled out my receipt and told him I just bought from you guys. He said "yeah I can't open the register" So this guy thinks people are ignorant and that everyone will believe that registers can't be opened? I told him I'm too old to believe that you can't open the register. Then he said "yeah we can't do it" Just say you don't want to exchange my money, so many stupid excuses.

    Large size of chow mein

    Today, l went to The Oaks Mall food court and ordered food there. I didn't look when the lady put food into the box, but when I got home, the large size of chow mein was only less than 3/4 filled. This is ridiculous. I don't know how the workers at this location were trained. The lady served me had no smile on her face at all and when I gave her the gift card (because it didn't work after I swiped twice), I told them "last time when I used it, they had to put the number in manually and I don't know why?" And what I got was the mad eyes staring at me from the serving lady. How can you expect customers will come back in the future if you have this kind of service???

    Broccoli Beef / Teriyaki Chicken / Chow Mein
    Katie C.

    Came to Panda for dinner and ordered a plate. Portion-wise I was pretty happy w the Teriyaki Chicken. Tender, juicy, & yummy! The broccoli beef was also good, didn't get enough beef but I guess the chicken made up for it. However, the chow mein was not so good today. It lacked flavor drastically and tasted like I was eating nothing, no flavor at all despite how it looked. I was disappointed seeing how greasy it looked knowing the grease wasn't worth the taste. It was just plain oily and no flavor. Please work on quality control of your food Panda.

    This particular location is inside the food court at the Oaks Mall. Its an ok place to get an inexpensive meal while your shopping there. I was there around noon on a weekday. Because it was prime lunch time, you would have expected all of the entree selections to be out in plentiful supply. At least half of them just had a tiny bit left, which is not very appetizing to look at and doesn't really tempt you to want to order from that. What I found most annoying was that, even though I was dining in, they don't offer any trays to carry your food to your table as is typically done at other Panda Express locations. I didn't really appreciate having to juggle my food items in my arms while searching for a table to eat at.

I was in and out in under 3 mins and had time to park in the shade and enjoy a late lunch. As always the staff is kind, friendly and helpful. Food was good as always, it's fast food after all so nothing out of this world. But it's always consistent and more importantly they always get my order right unlike so many other places. Will be back again I'm sure.

    I placed an online order around 10:27 AM. The app still allowed me to place the order for pickup,…read moreso I assumed everything was fine. I arrived at exactly 10:40 and marked in the app that I had arrived. When I spoke to the gentleman in the drive-through wearing aviator sunglasses, he wasn't outright rude, but his attitude was very dismissive. What bothered me the most was that when I tried to explain the situation and asked if he could check with someone inside, he simply said he couldn't help me anymore and walked away. It very much felt like, "this is your problem, not mine." Apparently, if you place a pickup order and do not press "I'm here" while you're on the way, there's a chance you won't receive your order even if the app allows you to place it. This was never made clear in the ordering process. I was told I should have selected curbside instead of drive-through, but by the time I arrived it was already too late. For context, I had been up all night at home with two sick kids. I was exhausted, and breakfast was something small we were all looking forward to after a long night. As a mom, sometimes those little things can really make or break your day when you're running on no sleep. What disappointed me most wasn't the policy it was the lack of empathy. I asked to speak to a manager and pulled forward. The girls working the window were not rude, but the overall situation still left me feeling unheard. I was so exhausted trying to explain everything that I actually burst into tears. I do want to be clear that this review is specifically about my drive-through experience. I have gone inside many times and the staff inside has always been wonderful. There is a woman who has worked there for many years who is truly exceptional and always so kind and welcoming. Unfortunately I don't remember her name, but she is amazing and has always provided great service. I come to this location almost every day and have supported this restaurant as part of our community. I'm not someone who asks for exceptions, but sometimes customer service means recognizing when a situation calls for a little understanding and kindness. Because of how this situation was handled, I will not be returning to this location or any Chick-fil-A. I will also be submitting this experience through the "We Care About You" customer feedback option so they are aware of how this was handled.

It was nice when they had you order and get your own food but covid took it away. Now, you just need to go up to the cashier and order your food or order it from your table online. I use the urban plates club pass because I go there a lot and their discounts are great. Their service is decent. They have many seating options and sizes from big 8 people tables to 2 people tables.

I usually order the Mushroom and Beef Stew, Chimichurri Steak, and Chicken Cobb Salad, and they are really good.

They have dishes like grilled salmon (multiple types!) with your choice of sides, from fries to brussels sprouts. (Another choice of protein is chicken! Yes, chicken!) They remind me a lot of Urban Plates, which also has the similar style grilled/ cooked protein with simple and easy dinner style sides. When we entered, they had a walkway that went to the cash registers where you could either order yourself on a screen or with someone. The service was pretty fast and took no long than 10 minutes, and has always been pretty easy (considering most of the actual customer service is a screen.) The prices and the sizes? Personally, I think they're great! I get what I can eat as really, two separate meals, and it's less than $20. Now is it the best fish in California? Maybe not. It's fast, it's easy, but this isn't a hamburger or a fast-food chain that makes you feel bad about eating junk food; this is a place that actually gives you those healthier options, but at a sweeter price point, yet RELIABLE - especially when it comes to fish.

Dear Hubby and I had been across town for a Yelp event, which was coffee and a pastry. He hadn't yet had breakfast or lunch, and only tried a bit of my coffee cake, so he was hungry. I had to get back to work and didn't want to take the time to go to a walk-in place that he'd suggested. JITB was my recommendation, so we swung by. The cashier was great, from the time we placed our order, to when we came around to pay. He was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond. He offered us condiments for our order without us having to ask. He let us know the present options for flavors for their Coke-Your-Way machine since I'd asked initially for raspberry and that's not a choice at this time. He knew what the options were without having to consult a written list. He might have been a shift manager, and, if not, then he should be. He had the right info, the right attitude, and made "even" a fast food job seem like he was glad to be there and to take care of the guests coming through. Given how expensive food has become, even at fast food outlets, being treated so well by an employee helps elevate the experience. We hit the drive-thru lane this time, since I had to go back to work. Everything was packed well and all condiments included so that when we got home we had what we needed for our lunch meal. Wish I knew the man's name so that I could call him out for his great attitude and service. Hope that this review helps the management know that this kind of employee makes a positive difference.

Dog Haus is known as an American craft-casual restaurant that's famous for their gourmet hot dogs and sausages all served on Hawaiian bread rolls. However, the new menu eliminated a good amount of their reputation! They sell smash burgers and grilled chicken, but it's called Dog Haus. The menu no longer has items like the spicy Italian, smoked apple sooo veggie sausage, chicken-mozzarella, and curried Thai Fighter wurst. Now, they highlight their normal hot dog and pork sausage - that's it. They used to sell their gourmet and different flavor combination sausages and bratwurst, but now they don't. It's turned into a restaurant like Sonic (but without the fun desserts and drinks) and Shake Shack (but at least Shake Shack has shakes.) They lost their uniqueness. Other than the company decision, which was probably the wurst business move, they also did not communicate clear enough to their employees because everyone at this location seemed to be over it. The guy at the cash register was incredibly annoyed that we didn't automatically understand that onion rings obviously aren't on the menu like before and onion strings are the new thing and what the differences are. We're sad because we really liked this restaurant and location, but it's not worth the food that's now pretty basic at most other American restaurants. Having smash burgers as a hot-dog place vs. selling hit smash burgers at somewhere like Fat Sal's where they're known for that is a bit different. Additionally, the customer service was NOT it. I asked for a water cup and was very disappointed to see that even after running the water for a few seconds, the water was still pink and not clear. When we got our food, our onion rings now onion strings were one of the saddest "shareables" side on their menu. They were limp, oily, hard to eat, and definitely not the move. We ordered entrees and weren't too impressed now that the dogs were normal, as well. Ambiance wise - they have seating inside, some seating outside, and inside have a tv where things like the FIFA World Cup play on a big screen.
