The chow mein today tasted smoked/over cooked and the Kung Pao chicken was over done with condiments that ot made me cough. The dishes were limited or similar to other ones. Seems like the cook did not measure the condiments and the chow mein over cooked. I was disappointed. read more

If zero-star was allowed I would give it. I have been coming here a few times as it's convenient from my house, but I would not recommend it. If you could make the trip to Panda Express in Davis along Highway 113, that is a lot better location. Here are my comparisons just between the two places: - Woodland location the portion is ridiculous, for the bowl, the food was barely touched the lid, side was small and main portion was not worth the price. Don't ever order steam rice because it was very dry and the rice portion they gave in my bowl was 80%, I had steam rice with broccoli beef and there were 3 pieces of beef total. I am Asian and can eat rice everyday, but this is more like pre-1980 Asian portions. When we ate just to get filled, then two hours later looked forward to the next meal full of rice. - There is drive-thru at Woodland, but I have to say the drive path is small and constrained. - In general every time I came, servers were always being cheap about the order. Rice is cheap so let's put in a ton, chicken or beef are more expensive so just making sure it seems like meat fills the top surface. Davis location servers seem to know most customers are hungry college students so they always give generously. - I really like Davis location Orange Chicken: smaller pieces and has the little crunchy texture due to the coating. I'm finally leaving the area officially after many many years. I hope to come back, but definitely not looking to dine at Woodland Panda Express location! read more

Panda Express - Panda Bowl - steam rice and broccoli beef: 80% super dry rice, 17% broccoli and 3% beef. - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

It took ten calls to get through but they did make things correct for the mistake. Don't know if I'll go back just not professional to not answer the phone til 10 rings. read more

Super small meat portions! Really? For the price it is ridiculous. This is happening more & more often.

Coming from West Sacramento this panda was disappointing. I heard not great things from a few people but thought it would be fine. Immediately I could tell the difference just by looking. The rice looks different from West Sac, fewer veggies and was mushy in texture. The noodles were ok but the honey sesame chicken wasn't as fresh. I always finish my plate but am throwing half of it away. read more

Grossed out by the quality today. Shrimp looks and tasted bad. Maybe from the day before. Nasty. Cant believe I had to pay extra for it. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

Just went to Woodland Panda Express. What a shame most everything we ordered they were out of or it would take to long to prepare. That is so unprofessional and awful customer service! You should be ashamed! read more

Horrible, horrible place. I went at around 5:53 pm, but the rice and noodles looked dried up, and a lot of the dishes were empty. Some of the waitresses gives out minimal portions, and gives vegetables more than meat. Slow service too. Too many people in line, and the cashier isn't even familiar with the work. Update after my visit in 09/04/2014: After almost three years, this place hasn't improved. If you look at the attached picture, you can see some very large pieces of onion, clumped rice, and a piece of meat that is significantly lighter in color. That piece of meat happens to be orange chicken, mixed and cooked with the Beijing beef. read more

There is something about the Woodlands area. Regardless of if it's the Hampton Inn, or Applebee's or Panda Express, the service is terrible. Order Teriyaki chicken. No teriyaki added to dip in and no soy sauce for noodles. Terrible meal. No matter how much the minimum rate is increased you still have the majority giving minimum effort. read more

You can always expect to wait about 30 minutes in the drive thru, even if only a few cars. The drive thru girls are always sweet, however. The employees inside lack customer service skills. It takes quite a bit for them to acknowledge when you walk in, samples are not offered, and the ordering feels like you're being rushed. I don't know about you, but when I'm ordering food, I like to take a minute to decide. Not everyone will have their orders ready the moment they step up to the food area. Especially considering my favorite, green bean chicken is either out, or there is nothing but undercooked green beans and chicken gristle. Orange chicken consists of tiny pieces of impossible-to-chew chicken mixed with huge pieces. Different visits dining inside, Ive noticed the cooks come out and flirt with the girls working up front. Not to check on what foods need re-upping. Considering this was a time when one of my entrees was out and the wait was 15 minutes, it was quite off-putting to see the reason for it. It really is hit or miss. I keep giving them a chance due to my love of Chinese food and the convenience of drive thru service, but they really need to up food quality if they want to retain this loyal customer. read more

This is the worst Panda Express I have ever gone too, I've had a long day and decided to stop on my way home from Oregon . The customer service was horrible. The lady making my plate was rude and rushing me to order. Then Wade my cashier was yelling at me to pull my mask over my nose because it slipped down. The rudest customer service I had ever experienced. He really had the audacity to ask me to fill out a survey on the back of the receipt for him. The manager was super sweet though. She seen how I was being treated and came up to me personally and apologized. She need to fire wade because he was the worst of all. read more

We stopped by the drive-thru here just for the convenience of a quick meal. The pepper chicken bowl: There wasn't much chicken in there, and what little there was was pretty salty. Meh. This reminds me of why I don't really eat at Panda Express in the first place. We got a side of mixed veggies - they were fine, pretty average. read more

Fast and friendly service. Hot food and cold drinks. Clean, spacious bathrooms. Everything you would want in a Panda Express! I love how they offer healthier options like brown rice. read more

Came 10/23 Friday between 4-5pm whoever made the chow mein did it horrible. It was really dry. Everything else is good.

My visit a couple of days ago will probably be my last visit to this Panda. Panda was actually my first job in high school (embarrassing....) so I know that you should always have fresh food out (as with any restaurant). I went during lunch time and there was so little!! A lot of the foods certainly didn't fill up the pan - not even half, AND it was super super super super dried out. Dude. Not appetizing. But my mom wanted it for some reason. Needless to say when I ate it it wasn't that good either. I think some of the broccoli wasn't even cooked all the way. The server was okay. She didn't even come to me until someone told her to a couple of minutes after I walked into the door. And I'm pretty sure she saw me. But one star for her because she was pretty nice and it was very clean inside. read more

Came in today at 10:05 ordered my food came up to the cash register and the person who was taking my order her name is Tina she didn't greet me. And the first thing that she said in a rude tone was "u want a drink" I said yes plz she then tells me my total after I paid she storms off. I ask her hey do I just grab the drink cup myself and she comes back rudely hands me my drink and doesn't say anything just leaves. And I have to admit that this was my worst experience at panda rude worker wouldn't ever wanna come here again. Part 2 of this review came in today at 12:42 I ordered my food I asked for a bowl with rice and teriyaki chicken with sauce on top and a large coke no ice. When I came up to the window the guy gives me a large coke filled with more ice than the actual drink. I ask him to give me no ice he told me I need to ask next time when I clearly did. I then open my food to check if it's correct because I'm tired of going inside to get my order changed because it's constantly incorrect he didn't put any sauce. I then ask him " do you guys not put sauce anymore on the chicken " he replied with "we do if you ask". This is ridiculous I clearly asked and when he repeated my order to me through the microphone he said everything correct and at the window he made me feel stupid like idk what I'm doing. It's very sad that I enjoy panda but this place keeps on disappointing me read more

Panda Express - Orange chicken and chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

I read all the previous reviews. My experience is nothing like the negative reviews. I arrived to this location a few minutes after opening. My entree item was not available and had to wait 4 minutes MAX for my item. This location is super spacious compared to my normal location in West Sacramento. Friendly staff. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

Go to Panda Express in Davis. Food and service is much better. Came here at 9:30pm and 10 minute wait on almost every entree item. I was in the drive-thru and told to wait in my car and that food would be brought out. Doors to the restaurant were already locked. read more

Right now Panda is the only fast food my picky kid will eat. Every single time we come here its always something. They forget an item or don't give you the sauce you've asked for repeatedly. Your online order is never ready on time, you're ignored or forgotten as you wait for it. A few weeks ago the drive thru was closed. Tonight the lobby was closed and only the drive thru was open. Then, as you're sitting there in an insanely long line that you've already been in for 10 minutes, an employee comes out and slaps a freshly made sign on their Almond Chicken Ad "We Have Limited Items Available. Estimated Wait Time is 20 Minutes." Why are you even open then??!? Multiple cars, myself included, backed out of the line and gave up. Next time i'll just drive out of my way to the Davis location. This one just never has their sh*t together read more

First off, the girl taking my order in the drive through was so rude. Then when I went to pay and pick up my order, they were out of one of the entrees that I chose. She asked me to pick another one. I chose the one that there was an advertisement on their order board. She stated that it was discontinued. (Then why is it still on the order menu?) My food: honey walnut shrimp was soggy and gross. The orange chicken tasted like it had sat there all morning. The chow mein had been cooked too long so the noodles were chewy and tough. Only reason I gave it 1 star was because you have to... Never going to eat here again. read more

Very bad service! They need better training on customer service. Was double charged because of a worker that did not know how Apple Pay work. Her exact words. Just a blank stare back when I requested condiments very forgetful person. All in all horrible service. read more

At first I thought it was lack of training but now I think it's corporate. After coming to Panda many, many times and receiving mostly green beans in my chicken and green bean entree I felt it was time to let people know. This establishment is trying to save a buck by giving me a ton of low cost veggies and minuscule amounts of chicken (which is where the bulk of the cost for the meal is spent). Maybe instead of this chain restaurant, Panda, you could give a local family owned restaurant your business instead. Your wallet will be happy and you might feel better about supporting local small restaurants. P.S. The beans were undercooked. read more

DISGUSTING! My SHRIMP I PAID MORE FOR WAS UNDERCOOKED, Breading falling off and I got maybe 7? The orange chicken was over loaded the shrimp wasn't. HALF MY CHOW MEIN WAS NOT EVEN COOKED and it's so dry I'm actually going back to return this disgusting meal for my money back because the amount I spent I should have a great meal! Just go to In N Out and save yourself the food poisoning read more

Instead of telling me they were all out of broccoli beef they just gave me a ton of broccoli. With two quarter size pieces of beef... Owner contacted me and offered a free meal voucher. I appreciate the response and hope my next visit is better. I've changed my rating from 1 to 3 stars for his response. read more

This was a shocking experience. I was craving Chinese food, so I stopped at Panda. I ordered a bowl of fried rice and black pepper chicken. I also got a side of cream cheese rangoons. It was $10 and some change for this . I get the food home, and there was no sweet and sour for the rangoons (I had asked the person helping me in the drive through 3 times for sweet and sour). So that was super annoying. Then I open my bowl, and there were literally 5 quarter size pieces of chicken, and lots of onions, and WHITE rice! What a disaster. Don't stop here. I literally got nothing I ordered. It's really disappointing. I don't think it was this bad a year ago. I won't be going back that's for sure read more

Ordering to go . And not knowing what you get until you get home . Disgusting!! I ordered brócoli beef and got 2 pieces of meat and 2 pieces of broccoli. What do you call that exactly . No class in this place whatsoever. Need a new crew . Everyone acts like we owe them our business . To serve their customers this way without common sense is ridiculous and on purpose . Good luck . read more

One star because the portions they give are WAY TOO SMALL! It can be about HALF of a normal Panda Express. As paying customers, we just want what we paid for! You need to FILL UP the little boxes, not put a few pieces of meat in them and call it a day! Very poor business practice and the reason why I rarely go here. The food is often sitting for hours! And when they put new food out, they put the old crud on top and make you eat it! They are really slow, especially at cooking new food. They are not accurate in their estimates of when new food is going to be made. This place is HORRIBLE at giving customers the proper portions. They need to retrain everyone in portion control. It is not right that they give half the food as any other Panda Express. read more

Ordered broccoli beef and literally got maybe 1/4 a cup of beef with a shit ton of broccoli. Not cool read more

Panda Express - that was literally all the beef I got with it wtf. Terrible if there isn't much left say you guys ran out instead of giving me this - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

Today for lunch all 3 things were so disappointing! The Chow mein especially, the breaded beef, & the black pepper chicken. Other times I've been here the food has been just ok for Chinese, but not today! I will really won't be settling for just ok next time I want chinese food. read more

This is the cleanest Panda Express I have ever seen. Service were very friendly and professional. Food was served at the correct temperature and tasted very good. I will definitely be back to this location in Woodland. Highly recommend. read more

Great family place to have lunch Tasty food, and very friendly staff members. We had a great time here today. Thanks Panda Express read more

I went through the Panda Express Drive thru in Woodland, Ca. I ordered a Plate with half fried rice half chow mein with Firecracker shrimp and Angus steak as my entrees. To my surprise, when I got home and opened up my to-go box, I see that they gave me so little of the entree as you can see in the picture I have attached. The Angus Steak and Sides were the typical amount I usually get. The Firecracker shrimp on the other hand was very little amount. I typically don't write reviews but this really got to me. This is upsetting especially since I have to pay $1.25 extra for these premium entrees already. read more

Panda Express - Firecracker Shrimp, Angus Steak, Fried Rice, Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

It's so funny reading the reviews for this particular Panda. Apparently some people don't get out much, especially out of Woodland. Sac is to the south on I-5, Davis is to the south on SR113, and if you go a little further south and to the west on I-80, there's the Bay Area. You should try it some day. I have had no problems at this Panda whatsoever. The place is clean, the staff friendly, my order is always correct. There is a drive thru, and yes the saying "they always f#$% me at the drive thru" still exists, but that's everywhere. It's a convenience for lazy people who don't want to park their car, walk, and order inside. Or maybe you have a good excuse, like it's raining, or I didn't fix my hair and put on my makeup. Whatever it is...you will always wait in the drive thru. Expect it! Speaking of waiting. At times you will wait at this Panda because it gets crowded. I wonder why...cuz people love it. It's a chain restaurant. It's not a traditional Chinese restaurant folks, so don't expect it to be. Enough of that. Good job Woodland Panda. Keep up the good work. If people like you they will come back, if not there's more people lining up. Orange Chicken is my favorite. read more

I have given the Panda Express in Woodland at least four tries....and that's way too many. This place is horrible, Gourmet Chinese....???? Are you kidding me? The chow main was like top ramen, my mushroom chicken had next to no chicken, the mushrooms slices were huge, and absolutely no flavor....did they lose the recipe book???I hate that I even have to give it one star. I will not be going back...I will stick with Nugget Market for Chinese food. read more

Panda Express - This is what Panda Express calls chow mein??? - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

I don't know why but Woodland's Panda has no flavor, chowmein and fried rice in particular. They also have very little vegetables. We drive to Davis because it's always good. read more

Huge disappointment. I love Panda Express. It's good fast Chinese. But I ordered a two entree plate (orange chicken and broccoli beef) and all I got was probably two whole bunches of broccoli and three tiny thin gross pieces of beef. Such a let down to find this when I got home. read more

Panda Express - Lunch combo. Broccoli "beef" with no beef. - Chinese Near Me - Woodland, California

This is one of the better Panda Express I've been to. I like it here because they aren't stingy on the amount of food they give you and also cause all the food I got here was great. I got a 3 entree plate for takeout during lunch consisted of mixed veggies and chow mein, kung pao chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. Maybe because I arrived 15 mins after they opened so the food was pretty new, but everything tasted so good. For once, the honey walnut shrimp was crispy and perfectly done...unlike the ones I've had at the Panda in Davis. I would definitely be visiting this place more often for lunch. read more

Super rude cashier. I tried to use Samsung Pay and she acted like I was an inconvenience. She said with an irritated snotty attitude "Don't you have a real card?". Hey Panda Express, it's almost 2019. People pay with their phone all over the place. Especially with Samsung Pay. Change with the times before the rest of the world moves on without you. Also the cashier didn't give us fortune cookies and when my wife asked for some she gave her a major attitude. I'd skip this restaurant if you want even decent service. read more

The recent spate of negative press highlighting America's unhealthy dependence on fast food has probably made America somewhat svelter, but, when someone has a hankering for lunch that won't blow apart the caloric allotment for the day, there is a still a relative dearth of healthy fast food options. Save Panda Express. Even if you're in a hurry, they offer colorful vegetables over steamed white rice. Granted, they still offer glorious piles of heavily-sauced chicken-nugget things....but, if someone chooses to eat healthily when ordering at the drive-through window, there are options which won't stretch the waistline of your pants as tightly as Joan Rivers' face. And that's, alone, makes this place worth four stars. read more
