The food here is great -- no complaints at all on the quality. I've been coming here about every couple of weeks. But the management and consistency are a different story. I started noticing that when I go through the drive-thru, the portions are noticeably smaller than when I order inside. So I actually tested it a few times -- same exact order, one person inside and one through the drive-thru. Every time, the drive-thru portions were clearly smaller. I brought it up to the manager and was told everything is weighed and that it must be an employee issue. Fair enough -- but after repeating this test three times over about a month and getting the same results, it doesn't seem like a one-off problem. I'll still eat here because the food is good, but I only order inside now. Just something to be aware of if you're using the drive-thru. read more

After my terrible experience at the panda express in Dixon, I was still hankering for some panda, so I just continued onto Vacaville Anyhow, the food looks much fresher, like it been cooked in the last hour versus the Dixon location, and the staff was super friendly Generous portions, which were not part of the Dixon location make this my future stopping place when I'm on this route read more

Ordered my favorite Kung pao chicken yesterday. It was fresh, hot, and delicious! I was planning to get 2 large items but the steam table was kind of light and I didn't want to wait. I requested a sample of a beef dish that was ready - don't remember which it was now CRS lol. But was told they don't give samples. After questioning the practice I was told they could give me a sample to take with me. I was confused by what the difference was and was told they don't hand samples to customers anymore since Covid. So basically you can get a sample but can't eat it near them. Wow. So I left with 1 item instead of 2 - oh and the sample. See pic. Service was interesting. The lady (short in height) who helped me just stood there initially without saying anything then after a long silence said, "you decided?" No greeting, smile, or thank you - robotic-like. I will undoubtedly go again. read more

Ordered through their App on the drive over from across town. Ordered a 2 item plate (chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken). It was ready 5 minutes before the expected time. When I got there the restaurant was pretty busy with dine-in and drive-thru customers. Had to wait a few minutes for a diner to pay for their food and another person in front of me who was picking up an order. The lady who helped me was very nice. Order was ready as the App told me. Pretty good experience this visit, but overall service and food quality is hit and miss at this location. read more

PLEASE get a manager who can manage employees for success because this is worst store I've been to. To the rude, nasty, short-haired girl working the drive-thru on 1/9 at 1:45, working with the public is not a choice you should've made. Horrible, nasty, and this is the second time in two tries that my order was wrong. The first time you gave me a dish I didn't ask for, and you were kind enough to put your nasty, diseased shrimp in my take-out. Today I ordered a small teriyaki chicken that never even made it to my bag. I get it, it's fast food, but you should have standards you're working with. Since you clearly don't, I would suggest working at Taco Bell so you don't have to remember more than one thing. This place is disgusting from the employers beginning to their floor that you stick to. Do yourself a favor and don't go. read more

This location seems to mess up orders all the time because just today I went, told them my order and they gave me the wrong items I asked for. This isn't the first time it's happened to me. It's happened to me three times. I've had to go all the way back from my house to the store to ask for the correct order. All different employees at that. Maybe this location needs new headsets to be able to hear the customers better or something . Really disappointing and an inconvenience to have to get home see my food items I ordered be wrong and have to drive all the way back and ask for the right ones. read more

I just popped into this panda express location to grab a fast dinner to share with my grandkids. I was delighted! Can say that again absolutely delighted! With how clean and fun the environment was. The young lady who took my order was bright and fun and extremely helpful! Everyone in the place was smiling and having a good time and very welcoming. I will definitely be back! The food was also fresh and it smelled amazing inside the store. read more

We had a great experience here at lunch/ dinner today! We walked in, lots of people working. The entire line of food was full and looking super fresh! I wasn't even really hungry but my partner was ! Food looked so good I ordered some too! These guys are doing something right! Everything was really fresh and tasty!! I wish the Panda Express in the Bay Area were as good as this one! read more

It's so good in there they have good food tasty orange chicken and chow main,great service,I recommend this place.

We ordered the Family combo that came in a box and it was good. They got the correct items and it was a good amount for a good price. It was also ready on time when we ordered in the app. read more

Not everyone eats beef so firery shrim should be on its one . And how about give a little extra chic rolls to frequent DoorDash customers

Make sure you keep an eye on how much food they give you. One of the workers there makes sure they give you less than a full scoop of the orange chicken... THE ORANGE CHICKEN. I just opened my box and this is what I got. How goddamn ridiculous. read more

This is genuinely the best panda express we love it here mwah mwah mwah mwah so good great portions but definitely better if you go in tho

We stopped by about 8:30 tonight on a trip home to from Redding. The place was clean, the servers kind and friendly. I ordered a bowl with a mix of super greens and chow mein with mushroom chicken. It all tasted fresh and yummy. read more

Don't know why this Panda has such low ratings. This is my favorite stop on the way to Sac from the Bay. Perfect midpoint for a snack on the long drive home. I normally go through the drive through but this time I decided to go in as I had to use the restroom. Everything was cleaned and all the food looked fresh. There was a little crowd but everything went rather smoothly. I sat down and eat a little bit of my food before I went on the road again. I'm glad I left the Applebees earlier because I really enjoyed my meal. Place is located right off the freeway so it's easy to get back on. Would definitely say to come visit this location whenever in the area. It's clean and chill spot. Always a good meal for me. read more

I honestly am not a fan of panda but I was definitely wowed with the service and food. The workers were all amazing, we were mainly serviced by Jaz and she was incredibly kind and considerate. She was going out of her way giving everyone an amazing host experience that I haven't experienced at panda before. I was very happy with my visit here. read more

I have to update my previous bad review. This Panda has changed for the better!!!!! The service was great & they were very helpful. Our family had a great experience. The prices are affordable as well for families. Thank you to the great workers for working hard. read more

I have been eating with panda for very long time. This is the worst experience that I have ever had. Food is dry and does not taste like the other panda. Portion is awfully small and COLD. Very unorganized and does not feel clean. The worst part is I paid for three items but they gave me two items. Luckily I caught it before I left. The regional manager should pay more attention to this store. I don't understand why they keep the back door opened and let all the dust and dirt directly blown to to the steam line ??????? read more

Food serviceI had a good time with friendly service enjoy the food and the people I recommend you check it out for yourself. Good food.

Came to this location around 5 after a long drive and was dying of hunger I was received with great hospitality from server Christian Rub M . She was welcoming and provided great customer support. Thank you ruby! read more

Horrible, absolutely horrible. Wish I would've looked at Yelp first, that 1 and a half star review would've deterred me from this place. I placed a Pick Up order for 2 Large Plain Rice from the Panda Express first party app (Not a third party app). When I arrived to pick up my order, the girl told me they were out of plain rice and asked if I would like fried rice instead. I told her that I needed the plain rice because it was to accompany a dish I made at home, so I declined the exchange and asked for a refund. She told me she could not issue a refund because I ordered on the app and I would have to call their 800 number to request a refund. I called the 800 number and left a message, I also took a screen shot and emailed that to their headquarters. They did not address the problem, and did not offer me a refund. They sent me a coupon instead for $3 off. I googled the issue I had and other people had the same issue, as it turns out, the cashier was supposed to cancel the order on her end and it would've issued me a refund automatically. So she either didn't know what she was doing, or the staff is instructed by management to not cancel any app orders. I will not order from a Panda Express again. read more

They keep asking for donation rather than understanding what you're trying to order at the drive thru and then they didn't even give me a fork or chopsticks. read more

Service was good, the quality was ridiculous they put the old food from the warmer on top of the fresh cooked food! Had to tell the server to please serve me the new that was just made‼ Look at the old food on the top right hand corner, can't missed the difference. Can't be upset at the server they're instructed to do that read more

I purchased the bigger plate barley had food and the noodles was over cooked. I was very dissatisfied. I called their number to speak to a manager and know one even answers the phone. Not only that the container was turned upside down in my bag. read more

The service was horrible. I went through the drive-thru and ordered the family meal and a couple of extra sides. I was told there was a wait for one of my choices. They told me to pull around and they would bring the food to me. After 15 minutes, I went inside and had to wait 5 minutes before anyone could help me. I could see what looked like my order sitting on the counter. When I asked about it, they asked me if I had asked about it. I told them I didn't know I had to ask since they told me they would bring it to me. Needless to say, some of the food was cold when I got home. Don't tell someone to wait in the parking lot and then let the food sit for 20 minutes. Especially after I just spent $60. read more

They do not cook the chow mein fully. The noodles are always hard, bland and greasy. Someone needs better training on the wok!!

Normally Panda is a great go-to for tasty Chinese food with fresh vegetables. I often order Kung Pao, and was happy to find their King Pao sauce sold in the grocery store. It makes for a great addition to takeout and is good for stir-fry too. Unfortunately, the location on Monte Vista has been slipping a bit lately with online orders, and tonight I brought home a meal for two and one order was completely missing an entree. Unfortunately, this is the second time. Not sure if the broccoli beef ticket is not printing correctly, or it's being missed by staff, but because this is the second time I came on to bring it to management's attention. Otherwise keep up the good work. Panda is a great restaurant franchise and I look forward to returning soon! read more

I love panda! The experience the family feelings the food. The atmosphere happy here.

I eat at panda a lot, unfortunately, this location is very skimpy. I was very surprised how late my two item entrée was. I got the standard orange chicken and broccoli beef with Chow mein. Woofed it down in under five minutes because it was so skimpy. read more

Just decent lukewarm food. I don't like coming here because they constantly make me wait 30 minutes in front for teriyaki chicken. The tables in the lobby were also sticky and they forgot my fortune cookies. I try to avoid going to this one when I can but it is cheap for a lunch for one. read more

I had the best customer service that I've had in a long time! Reynaldo, the manager, immediately greeted me as I entered with a cheerful presence. I was then helped by Ana at the check out and was offered to be helped with my app. Everyone inside seemed to all be having a good time, and worked together as a team. Which came through and made the environment enjoyable. read more

The quality of their food was pretty good to us! I went in and one person was ahead of me, the staff was completing on line orders but acknowledged me and I waited maybe 5-6 minutes. I saw previous reviews but I didn't agree with them from my own experience. read more

There's a reason they have 1 star. Poor management which trickles down to poor employee performance. Complete opposite of taking care of customers read more

My boyfriend placed an order through the drive thru on his phone and we waited their line for a good 10 minutes then they said the food wasnt ready and we needed to wait in the parking lot, so we waited for 30 minutes and at that point they were about 45 minutes from closing. We tried to go in after the 30 minutes of waiting and the doors were locked and there were a girl cleaning and a couple other girls just standing around laughing/talking. I knocked on the door and the one cleaning came to open it and i asked how long for the food since it had been very long. She said its not yet ready she will bring it when it is ready i say okay thank you and go back to the car. She comes out about 10 minutes later and says here is free orange chicken. We check the order abd the plate we ordered is wrong its just more orange chicken. We didnt even want orange chicken. So then knock again and tell her its wrong and she tried to say the free orange chicken was out real order? So i show her the reciept and we have to wait extra for our actual food and then had just 2lbs of orange chicken we didnt want. It was probably what they were going to throw away at the end of the night. We dont want that. It sucks this is the only panda in town but there are so many better family owned chinese places here that are so nice that i will only be going to now. read more

Ordered through doordash Bowl consisting of 2 Orders of Orange chicken, Fried Rice, Vegetable Mix and Soda.. We received the order and they put chowmein instead of fried rice on the other order... Second f*up order for the day.. I got a refund from dd when another merchant f*up my order but i cannot complain twice in a row today bec it won't look good.. But i have proof, receipt and photo... If i were that mean, Id walk up to them and let them re-do my order but might do something to my order, you know what I mean, that's why i get refund instead of new order.. We can never tell what happens behind the counter... Why 1 star? Because they did not follow a very simple instruction, ruined my to-go meal... read more

Panda Express - what is there to not understand? - Chinese Near Me - Vacaville, California

We were craving for Panda Express on a road trip and this was the closest one. We disregarded the poor view and gave them a try. The staff were nice and the service was fast but they gave us the wrong size of our chow mein order. We repeated twice that we would like a Medium side of chow mein but apparently they still didn't get it right. I noticed the portion was smaller too compare to other Panda Express we've been too. We only got 2-3 slices of Tofu and and maybe 5 slices of eggplants. read more

Today we go shopping for family meals. The walnut shrimp was only given 70% of the capacity of a box, 30% less. I don't want to go to this restaurant again. read more
