    Great Panera location! Always clean and there's ample seating indoors with some tables with umbrellas outside too. I always enjoy Panera so the review on the food applies to all locations. You can't go wrong with a bowl of their broccoli cheddar soup -- like ever. This location has great parking space too.

    Burnt bagel and cheese.   3/11/25.
    James B.

    I would give ZERO stars if I could. Ambiance was not considered since I went through the drive-thru. Food: Ordered breakfast, Asiago Bagel Sausage Egg, and Cheese. The cheese was horribly burnt, the sauce patty must be turkey and not pork. Horrible sandwich. Bagel was burnt. The same with the Scrambled eggs Bacon Croissant sandwich. Service: The young lady at the drive thru obviously doesn't want to be there. People say try Panera. I did. It was horrible food and I paid $17.00 to have a bad breakfast.

    Caprese sandwich
    Donna C.

    Mozzarella cheese is thinner than the tomato slices - very disappointing... nothing like what's advertised on your website for the Garden Caprese Melt - my sandwich was not melted either - skimpy filling didn't warrant two pieces of bread.

    Half order. Looks good but under the top layer is mostly hard inner core lettuce ribs.

    Livin' the drive thru life. This Panera in Rancho Cordova, is one of the few that have a drive thru. And it's not too far or cumbersome to get to from Highway 50. Easy enough to get to. But the drive thr ordering/pickup window is physically immediate after the right turn. So if you don't angle your car close enough, you'll be stretch armstronging. And it doesn't help if you have TRex arms. I've been stopping by here occasionally throughout the years. Customer service has been great. But the food quality is a hit or miss. On my last visit, the BLT was a dismal representation of a sandwich. It had two thin, short, see thru, microwave type bacon. But they served the bacon ice cold. Interesting Panera choice. The lettuce was an arugula salad mix. Another interesting Panera choice. The tomato slice was super thin. The bread was delicious, but doesn't make up for the lackluster sandwich. We also ordered a half order of Greek salad and half chicken Napa salad sandwich. The salad was chock full of the hard core of inner romaine lettuce. Odd the romaine had the core without the leafy green part as it seemed to be sliced off. Another interesting Panera choice. The chicken Napa is my favorite all time sandwich at Panera. But like the BLT, it was a sad sandwich. It was loaded with arugula salad mix but where's the chicken ?!? It had hardly any chicken salad on the sandwich.

    French dipper
    Justin L.

    Good ol'faithful Panera! Consistent and tasty for the most part. Nothing really bad to say, I always enjoy the new sandwiches and the seasonal items. My wife and I saw the commercial for the new dippers and so we went and got them for dinner. Not enough soup though but I ordered and side French onion anyways. I'd get it again!

    The kiosks were dirty so it was good that they still have someone at the counter to take your orders. The soup, sandwiches and salads are good. Plenty of seating available and the staff are friendly and quick. This is the spot for a quick and good lunch. Prices are a bit high though for what you get.

    "New" ciabatta cheesesteak sandwich
    Chris C.

    Panera do better this is a $15 dollar sandwich and I literally have more peppers than meat. Very sad the food quality and quantity here was declined so much

    I really love their Chicken Roma Asiago Bagel Stack! It's the first thing I ever tried at Panera, and I have been sticking with it as much as I enjoyed it, plus it's only $7.99 which is a steal. I always ordered ahead of time and came pick up, so I never had any issues like others.

    Frontega chicken

    I went to the dinner last night and this is worst experience I ever had. Ordered pick two half Frontega chicken sandwich and half tomato soup. We went 8:5 minutes before closing, so I asked manager is it ok to place the order? He said drive thru will be open until 10 PM so I am good. Here is what I got in frontega chicken. Literally two pieces of chicken.

    Tuna Asiago bagel

    I have ordered thru the app 3 times, same order tuna on Asiago bagel. Every time this is what I got. Maybe a teaspoon of tuna. 3 strikes and your out. Won't be going back.

    Nothing says don't accept bills over $20.

    Sandwiches were burnt, and sloppily thrown together. Food was not fresh as I've had at other Panera locations. Soup was hot and not bad.

    Seoul 1979 keeps it simple, comforting, and does Korean comfort food really well…read more The tonkatsu curry was the standout for me. Crispy, golden breading with a juicy pork cutlet underneath, smothered in a rich, savory Japanese-style curry that was comforting without being too heavy. Served with rice and fresh cabbage slaw, it made for a complete, satisfying meal. The bibimbap was fresh and well balanced, with plenty of vegetables, tender beef, and a perfectly fried egg that tied everything together. Every bite had a great mix of textures and flavor. The vibe is casual and welcoming. This is the kind of neighborhood spot you'll want to come back to whenever you're craving Korean comfort food. Rex Tip: Mix the bibimbap thoroughly before your first bite. Every ingredient is meant to come together, and that's when the flavors really shine. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

Bulgogi Gimbap: HUGE gimbap roll! the veggies tasted fresh & the bulgogi was seasoned well, a nice hint of spice. asked for a side of sriracha on the side & it really elevated the flavor (super spicy!). extremely filling & dangerously delicious. I wish more people knew about this place. It is truly a hidden gem. I will definitely be returning to try more menu items. If you're in the mood for good Korean food, COME HERE.

We use to eat here when it was just called "Thai Smile" loooooong ago. They are open 10am to 9:30pm M-F except Sundays. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) we got parking right away when we arrived. But parking is limited. 2) Both people in the restaurant immediately smiled and greeted us. 3) we got seated right away. There wasn't many people eating there. 4) restaurant looked clean. Our table, chairs, cups, plates, bowls, utensils were all clean. 5) water tasted good. No funky or metal taste. 6) Taro boba tasted great. Tum Yum soup (a little on the sweeter side), drunken noodle, and California hand roll tasted great. 7) bathroom clean. 8) we got our tab quick and it was easy to go pay it. 9) our waitress was very nice. Cons 1) there were 3 of us. Two of us got water. One didn't. We had to ask for a 3rd glass of water. Twice. But we did eventually get the 3rd glass for water. 2) Conclusion Wec have always liked this place. I recommend it. Staffs were nice, place clean, cutely wall-decorated, clean bathroom, good foods, quick in and out.

Customer Service: 0/10 It was our first time here, and the staff did not greet us when we walked in. We ordered our food from a kiosk, and the young Asian lady working didn't even inform us that there was self-serve water or where to find to-go boxes; we had to figure it out ourselves and go ask. Worse, she completely ignored my daughter when she tried to ask a question, literally trying to make herself look busy even though she knew my daughter was speaking to her. During our meal, we noticed that while she completely ignored us, she actively greeted and thanked the other customers who came in after us. When we left, she was standing right at the cash register and completely ignored us again. It is incredibly disappointing to see an employee be so selective about who they want to greet and provide decent customer service to. Furthermore, whether she is part of the family that owns the place or not, her attire was entirely inappropriate for a work environment--she was wearing black-and-white checkered pajama pants with an oversized t-shirt. Professionalism and basic courtesy seem entirely missing here. Please do better. Food Review: * Cucumber Salad: Had no flavor. It was basically just sliced cucumber tossed with some sesame oil. I love cucumber salad, so this was a major disappointment. Rate: 0/10 * Chili Wonton: Super plain with literally no flavor. I love chili wontons, and these were completely tasteless. Imagine eating wontons with absolutely no seasoning. Rate: 0/10 * Chow Mein: This was okay--probably the best dish out of everything we ordered. Rate: 3/10 * Black & Gold Molten Lava Bun: It looked interesting with a sweet, glittering liquid gold filling inside, but it wasn't as good as it looked. While the bun was soft, the filling fell short. Rate: 2/10 * Shrimp & Pork Shaomai: Just okay. We've had much better elsewhere. The outside wraps were dried out and chewy. Rate: 3/10 Would I come again or recommend anyone who happens to be nearby: No. Go somewhere else.
