Beware of scammer! I only had two transactions that day, both are in the same restaurant. Minutes later someone else using my card & this is never happened to me anywhere else. Unfortunately,the bank won't tell us who exactly the suspect but I only had transactions there that day. Rotten business practice! read more

I've been here once before years back I believe. Food was delicious then! But just made a visit here today and was very disappointed! The chow mein was very dry, the cream cheese ragoons were soggy, the veggie spring rolls tasted like the center were still a bit cold and runny, BUT the chicken was very good! Also I tried the strawberry banana smoothie, and was disappointed as well. Hopefully they get back to their old ways! I was also very disappointed that they have not lightened up at all regarding COVID. The place looks like they're in the middle of renovation, and there's no where to sit and eat. Not sure if they're just unaware of the current CDC guidelines, or if they're just truly scared of this plandemic. read more

This place can't even hold a candle to Panda Express. I will always pick this place over the competition in a great beat. The food is tasty and unlike other places it does NOT taste burnt. The portions are huge too. Do yourself a favor and eat at this place, support small business. Coconut shrimp, Spicy fish, broccoli beef, teriyaki chicken are my favorite entrees. I usually get one 3 entrees plate for me and my two boys an we all end up stratified. read more

Food was good, reasonable priced. Service was good. Large portions. Orange Chicken & Spicy Chicken ...............................................................................................................:.......................... read more

Can we say amazing? For the price of the 2 item combo it's the best around. The serving sizes are great and the food is always fresh! The staff is always friendly and pleasant. Have gone multiple times and never disappointed. The reason for not a 5 star review is because they have their storage for extra boxes/cleaning products are out in the dinning area... seems that it should be tucked away somewhere else. read more

I love their food especially their noodles. They're thick and chewy with great flavor. My husband enjoys their food too.

Huge portions. I pick up food at least once a week. I love their coconut shrimp and spicy chicken.

Good prices & food. They don't skimp like Panda. Always our goto when we are in Vista. Thank you! C:

Food is very delicious. Huge portions with enough home-made sauces to add extra authenticity. High quality food at veryvgood prices. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This is one of my new favorite stops for fast American-Chinese food. Sure, they serve it in warming bins, but fast turnover and smart cooking means entrees are usually hot & fresh. Mind you, don't get your expectations too high, this is Panda Express quality food. But the portions are massive, the prices are right, and they don't charge extra for shrimp. Plus the staff up front are very friendly and helpful, and they keep a very clean place. Someone is always wiping down a table or counter. Warning, just don't talk to the cooks while on lunch break, they will not respond back. Just leave them to their bowl of noodles. Oh, and I'm addicted to their Sesame Balls! read more

Was visiting the area and found this delicious Fast food Chinese place. Great food and great service.

It was hot and cooking seemed like a chore so I stopped in on my way home. This place finally opened so I decided to give it a try. You definitely get your money's worth. The portions are big! I was able to have a satisfying dinner and have leftovers for another meal or two. I got the 3 item combo for roughly $9 so I could try the different dishes. I got kung pao chicken, chili chicken and coconut shrimp (think honey walnut shrimp but without the walnuts). It came with half fried rice and half chow mein. The taste was just so so. It wasn't anything spectacular but if you want quick, cheap, and filling, give this place a try. It's located in the Albertson's shopping center, a couple doors down from the Dollar Tree. read more

***Accurate review**** Restaurant - clean, bright, light, and cool. Service- was average. Food- chowmein was horrible, no flavor. Tasted like they boiled it in corn starch. "Coconut shrimp" had no coconut flavor at all. Batter did not stick to the shrimp. Shrimp was very tiny, and the shrimp was not de-veined which is gross. Tasted more like mayo shrimp. Green beans were average. Orange chicken has way too much batter. Sauce packets- plum sauce and sweet and sour sauces are horrible. They taste like reduced hi-C fruit punch. ***picture posted of a employee squeezing mayo on the mayo chicken, What they call "coconut shrimp". *** Advice- dont waste your time coming here. Its the food that is not so good. read more

I have enjoyed Panda Wok in Los Angeles so I was pleased to see a location opening here in North County, San Diego. The price is right and the portions are generous. They fill the carryout container to the max. If you are undecided, sample an item or two. The food isn't as flavorful as other similar establishments, but the various sauces make-up for the bland taste. Add mustard, sweet & sour, soy sauce or duck sauce to the entrees and it's just the right flavor. The egg rolls are tasty as are the fried bananas. The restaurant is clean as is the restroom. The employees were all friendly and patient as I sampled some of the new entrees. read more

you know restaurant is cheap when they don't even put pork in the fried rice? clean food not hot just warm. coconut shrimp better in san marcos, which has rice noodles as a easy side. this place doesnt read more

I LOVEEEE the food here but the service is so so bad. The employees make you seem like an inconvenience and are rude every time you come in. I genuinely believe that if they really don't want to work there that bad, they should find a better job, or maybe even not work in customer service at all. I've come in several times, and I tip every single time as well, but still have a horrible experience with them every time. read more

It's good, I liked the quantity you get. The quality is fine. I've had better but it tastes right. Kung Pao beef was my favorite here from the two times that I came. Everything was good. The staff was fair to me and the experience was good all in all. Nothing special but it did the job. I would come back here. read more

We actually liked this place. I was hesitant based on some of the reviews on here. We got steamed rice, orange chicken and green bean chicken. It was good and the portions are huge! The two of us could have easily shared one Combo B. I had already eaten some when I took the picture. Don't mind the soy sauce I had already applied. read more

Legit fast Chinese food. Good portions and and the pepper chicken is really tasty. No frills but not thr food tastes great. Warning you will be in a food coma after though read more

This location is not as good as the San Marcos one. Food quality seemed lower. Portion size was definitely smaller. I won't go back to this one. read more

First impression, there is a lot of empty space inside that could be utilized better. The menu on the televisions showing the various combinations is a little confusing, and they didn't try to upsell us on any drinks or anything. As for the food, they have it just sitting out, yet it's definitely kept hot. The portions are huge for the price, yet for the most part, everything was very bland. It wasn't bad, but I would put the quality on par with Panda Express. The chow mein noodles have too much onion in them, but I thought they were ok otherwise. The chicken from the chicken and mushrooms tasted like it came out of a can, while the teriyaki chicken tasted ok but had a distinct lack of teriyaki flavor. The chicken on a stick (without the sticks) was good. If you're in a hurry and just need something quick and cheap, this is a worthwhile place to go, but if you want better tasting food that is more authentically Chinese, head over to Chin's. read more

Love this place for Chinese fast food -- price is great and quality is awesome.. bonus is huge portions!!! Come and get the basics, you will think it is good -- I had chow main, fried rice, white rice, chicken teriyaki, coconut shrimp (basically honey shrimp), and orange chicken. All excellent read more

We will give this another try ok guy's I apologize for any inconvenience and Appreciate if you guy's would understand that I drive from far awaaway almost 40 miles to enjoy your great food and i was very disappointed that I waited 10 minutes behind other customers for you guy's to tell me the kitchen was closed at 9:30 when i was there at 9:19pm read more

Ok so it's not Panda Express but that's not exactly a bad thing because the food is still pretty dang good and their serving sizes absolutely blow away panda on every level. I've gone here twice and each time got my food to go, the worker both times stuffed my container so full that I legitimately thought it wouldn't close. After taking my food home I will eat it for dinner and have enough left over to have this for 2 or 3 more meals throughout the week. Their serving sizes will keep me coming back for more now that I moved closer to this location. Thanks for not being stingy like most places, keep up the good work! read more

We waned Chinese food but not Panda or Pick Up Stix. We were on the 78 going towards Vista & this was the closest place so we gave it a try. Wow, the noodles and rice were SO delicious & tasty! I haven't had good fried rice from a fast food Chinese spot since I was a child. Vista use to have China Panda & that closed down. Then Fortune Palace closed down. Finally a great clean delicious place for Chinese food! The service was wonderful, very friendly staff. Family owned, great place you must go try! Next time I will try a smoothie as those looked yummy! Sorry I didn't have my phone to take a pic but they are great w the amount of food they give too! Orange chicken, Chow mien, and rice is what I had. Cream cheese wontons were tasty too! read more

The Best place ever period! Great food, great prices, friendly staff, and the best customer service I've ever had! Ignore any bad reviews. Do yourself a favor: Got to Panda Wok!! read more

Overall impression: What the heck would you expect from a Chinese restaurant in Vista, CA? I got exactly what I expected. You are reading these reviews here on yelp. Obviously some people like it and some don't. Lower your expectation and go get a big plate of food. Price - Decent. Don't expect a bargain. Flavor - 3 out of 5. Best thing about my meal - The spicy chicken really was spicy. Worst thing about my meal - the chow mein sucks compared to others but doesn't taste bad. read more

I just grabbed some dinner on my way home. I wanted something quick but tasteful... this place nailed it. I expected the same price as Panda Express but the quantity was much bigger. And the taste was genuine. I stayed simple for my first time... 2 item combo 1/2 Fried Rice 1/2 Noodles Chicken and Mushroom Teriyaki Chicken Again ALL had great flavor. Their chili sauce was really saucy and yummie. read more

First time here , It's hard to find any good spots since sometimes the food has been sitting there for a while. I came in , and the staff was super friendly, I got a combo and got the spicy chicken and teriyaki. Let me tell you... it was SOO good. The rice was really soft and the chow mein wasn't too thick. They are also REALLY generous with their potions!! Definitely will be coming back. I think I found a new GOOD spot to eat! Also I love that they have the sauces on the side for you to grab! Chop sticks , teriyaki sauce, soy sauce , sweet and sour .. etc. that's super convenient, and shows that they aren't stingy ! read more

Kung Pao chicken had no pow, and baby corn, I didn't like it... Mushroom chicken just tasted weird, threw it away... Orange chicken was alright... 2 stars, because I wasn't poisoned, but was pretty disappointed with the flavor of the food, it looked a little better than it was, won't be back read more

My wife and I have had dinner here and have never been disappointed. They have a good selection of entrees. I had the Kung Pao chicken and Orange chicken with steamed veggies. My wife had the orange chicken and broccoli beef with steamed rice. The helpings of entress are generous. There was plenty of room to sit and eat. The place was clean. The servers are friendly and offer samples. It reminded me of Panda Express...only better! The prices are compatible with other chinese food places we've been too. They offer drinks from a dispenser or canned drinks. They also have smoothies. If you're in the area and are in the mood for great Chinese food. Stop in. read more

I like this place. The people are friendly and the food is good. The portions are such that I order a two item plate, I have enough food for two meals. It's always clean and the prices are affordable. I like this place enough that I will drive past the Panda Wok on Melrose to get to this one. I'm not sure why, but the food at the Melrose location is not as good. read more

I'm sorry, I'm typically a very fair, positive critic on restaurants but this visit made me sick, literally. The place looks very clean but this review is not about cleanliness, it's about the "teriyaki chicken and lo mein", if you can call it that. There are people on Yelp that will say this lo mein is flavorful, there are others that say this lo mein is bland. The people that say this junk is flavorful, have never had real Chinese lo mein. They probably LOVE Taco Hell too! They REALLY should expand their horizons. Drive down to El Cajon, and have lo mein or ANY Chinese food at a place called China 1968 on main st...you'll experience lo mein that will LEVEL you with flavor WITHOUT being nasty, greasy vomit fuel Like Panda Wok. This garbage at Panda Wok is spaghetti with a weak, nasty excuse for lo mein sauce. They also call this chow mein. This is neither! Panda express has better chow mein, and THEIR'S SUCKS TOO! Ok, back to the abhorrent, nasty, fatty, dried out excuse for teriyaki chicken...Do you need more adjectives. I feel like I ate a brick with this garbage. Chinex has WAY better lo mein AND authentic Chinese foods for less money. 'nuff said...You've been warned! read more

One of my favorite fast food Chinese take out places to go to. Their food is amazing, and hey are not greedy at all. Place is very clean and well kept, free WiFi. Boba drinks are good, so much better than Panda Express. read more

Really a 4.5 stars. New and enthusiastic. Giving away huge portions perhaps to entice you back, but there's no downside to that. Clean and bright, and since it's part of a small chain, I trust corporate to enforce standards more than other single-outlet places that can slide into laziness and filth and end up closing. (Like the icky buffet that used to be in the strip between Vons and Yardage Town. RIP) Chow mein noodles with onions and some sauce in them are MUCH more tasty on their own than Panda Express. Spicy chicken was properly spicy. Great corner to be on - wish them a lot of luck. Constructive comments: 1) Don't just put the fortune cookies near the soda machine labeled "Free". Put them on people's trays. 2) The stacked-up containers on top of the warming rack shelf are right in the way and one can never see the server's faces. Much more inviting to remove 3/4 of the containers. 3) The COMBO A, B, and C labels on the menu screen are just dumb. Say 1, 2, or 3 ITEM COMBO. 4) The screens also had a demo mode going on the side that should be suppressed by any competent IT person. 5) Missing from their menu that Panda Express has - a veggie option in addition to the rice and chow mein starches. Easy to add that healthy alternative. read more

Pros, they give you huge portions. Cons, this has got to be some of the most unhealthy Chinese I've had. Teriyaki chicken was full of fatty pieces, tasted ok. Fried rice was bland and had I known I could've had steamed rice I would've ordered that but she didn't give me the option. Ordered a side of broccoli hoping to get some sort of veggies in. The broccoli was picked out of the beef broccoli dish, covered in sauce...they didn't have anything even close to being on the healthier side. Flavor was not great all around. I have had frozen Chinese food from the grocery store that tasted better honestly. Threw out half of my food because it wasn't worth eating. Service was friendly however. Will not return. read more

I went over there from my work for lunch today and afterwards my stomach does not feel good I got the bowl with orange chicken and the white rice . Now my tummy won't even eat dinner I didn't remember from the last time I went but felt the same thing. What ever you guys are you doing get it right or shut down...... I Perfer Panda Express read more

Love this place. I drive 15 minutes to eat here. Food is bomb and the people that work there are nice. Best part is they keep busy so the food is always fresh. Sometimes I have to wait a few minutes for them to refill the food trays but I don't mind. read more
