    This place gives some of the skimpest portions ever! On top of that they packaged my beef and broccoli upside down which spilt all over everything. Grade-F UPDATE I did the survey & corporate sent q coupon for a free entree but I had had call twice for it because they never sent it out to begin with. And instead of the location making it right they skimp me out again on the shrimp entree🤦🤦 Didn't seem like the short chubby Phillipino manager liked the coupon

    Panda Express cooks their foods fresh. It's not the best Chinese food you have ever had, but it can get a good fast food alternative if you choose your items wisely.

    Pleasantly surprised, menu has expanded to include a larger variety. The food was actually tasteful and not too greasy. The location is tucked away however very busy and not a very large dining room. This is a good location for carryout. Location was clean and kept up, food was constantly coming so the wait was not tremondous despite being busy.

    Great customer service and the food was fresh and hot 👌 some family favorites are the orange chicken, chow mein, mushroom chicken and Beijing beef 😋

    Food was good. Fried rice was hard in some places like it had been sitting for some time. Everything elese was hot and tasted good. I have noticed recently the portion amount of meat in the side dish has gotten alot smaller. This seems to be more with take-out.

    Food is really tasty, BUTTTT the portions seem to get smaller n smaller every time we go. Before, they used to pack ur plate, n now its almost like we're in school, and they are making sure to stay within the small "cubbies" on the container. Service is a hit and miss, but one thing I can say is that NEVER EVER have we've been greeted with a smile or friendliness. it's always straight faces. The atmosphere is good. it's in a great location. Parking lot can be somewhat of a hassle, and seating inside can be difficult when busy due to very limited seating.

    As a veterinarian, it would be nice to wash my hands before my food. Your men's facility is locked up for customers only, so I had to I had to order and pay, then bring my food into the facility with me in order to wash up I quit asking to use the facility when I was 5. I will never be back to this 🐼

    For the amount of time they took i was expecting my food very well cooked. But that was not the case, the food looked like it been cooked in a microwave, Totally disappointed by stoping in this location. constitution panda express always has their food on point.

  • 5/5 Antonio E. 3 years ago on Google
    Outstanding place for delicious chinese food. I will be bringing friends next time. The prices are well within reason for the quality. My apartment is far from here, so I can't visit often.

    Do NOT support this Panda Express!! They refuse to give you a few extra pieces of chicken if you ask...which is against corporate's policy, and they do not give 10% off to veterans and first responders. The shift leader lied to my face about the discounts. I am a first responder, and I showed my ID and asked for 10% off, and she refused and said that they do not give discounts to veterans. She claimed that no Panda Expresses give discounts which I pointed out was a lie, then she said Panda Expresses in California do not give discounts to veterans which I also told her was a lie, and then she went on to say that their specific Panda does not give discounts to service members. I know she was lying because I used to work for Panda Express, and it is in Panda's handbook to give discounts to first responders. This Panda is the WORST Panda I have ever been to; they need to fire the entire management team of this location!

    went during there BUSY hour! waited more than 30 minutes just to place the order and than portions seemed pretty small, they forgot to give plastic wear, or ask off we wanted or needed sauce packets, they forgot to provide our receipt (maybe cause they were over whelmed because usually their really on top of things, it was extremely busy though)

  • 3/5 Ed Hirst (. 2 years ago on Google
    The food's decent the portions have gotten smaller and 90% of the time they forget the teriyaki sauce for teriyaki chicken.

  • 5/5 Rahmad M. 2 years ago on Google
    went around miday so 3:00 ish great place nice staff short line won't charge you for extra sauce.

  • 1/5 Alejandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    When ordering my food I was given a wrong side size and at check out they wanted to charge me for a bigger side. The Manager Leslie was extremely rude and very unprofessional. She was extremely upset and did not apologize for her workers mistake and instead yelled at me. She was not understanding of the situation and instead took it out in me. She did not try to compromise for the mistake they made with my order. This place has terrible costumer service!

  • 1/5 Michelle Montoya (. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered online as I usually do. Did not notice that 5 or 6 dishes were spicey only and do not offer the option of not spicey. My son and nephew cannot handle spicey. If this option does not change, my family and I will not be ordering from here anymore.

  • 3/5 JC M. 1 year ago on Google
    the food well prepared, tasty, I ordered an order of veggie egg rolls and they were cold, the air conditioning bothers when the weather is cold, the employees are not friendly

  • 2/5 Jose H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good, but that's expected from a large chain like Panda Express. The reason I rated it so low is because they have the worst customer service I've ever seen. I had placed an order for pickup and when I got home I noticed one item was missing. It's about $9-$10, so I called the restaurant to find out if I could get that item refunded. They never answered the phone. I called several times over 3 days and nothing. I even filled out their survey stating what I had experienced and received an email that I would receive a follow up call/message regarding my complaint. I'm still waiting.

  • 1/5 Tony G. 1 year ago on Google
    The young lady who first helped me out served me like they were running out of rice meaning very little, I ordered beef broccoli and literally only gave me broccoli no meat and with the teriyaki chicken it seemed like she was county the pieces smh every other Panda Express service so well that you can have leftovers for dinner but not here !! Very bad first experience here, staff doesn’t even smile !

  • 5/5 Kayla B. 3 years ago on Google
    Chinese food and the setting at this spot is excellent. Service is always prompt even when they have a full house. The staff was very helpful and observant. The bill was good for what you get. Atmosphere is similar to a cafe in San Jose I loved.

  • 2/5 f. d. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was quick, but the food was Absolutely Terrible. This was by far The Worse Excuse Of Chinese Food My Wife and I Have Ever Tasted. The noodles in the chow mein was extremely under cook to where it was crunchy. Also the broccoli in the broccoli beef was hard crunchy I just unable to eat and Digest. Although the orange chicken was satisfactory. Overall i highly discourage anyone from wasting your hard earned money on food that you also will find to be highly unsatisfactory !!!

  • 5/5 Bello P. 3 years ago on Google
    The Chow Mein is very delicious. As well as the Orange Chicken. The Brócoli n’ Beef is very great.

  • 1/5 For E. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible! Called 10 minutes ahead of time to place an order and still had to wait 20 minutes inside the store because it wasn't ready . On a Wednesday. Suggest placing an order 30 minutes ahead of time to avoid waiting.

  • 5/5 Angel L. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered online and although had a longer wait time then the one I was given on my order but the food was amazing and definitely will do an online order for pick up again.

  • 1/5 Angel M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place takes way too long. The employees work way too slow and there isn’t enough employees.

  • 5/5 Daniel H. 3 years ago on Google
    Panda luvs!

  • 2/5 Michael H. 3 years ago on Google
    Love panda Express, but this location is not very consistent, you will almost never get fresh food unless you go during lunch or dinner rush. And when its packed and there's a line out the door, some of the cooks have no sense of urgency and seem to look up at the line and take their sweet time. That's a real bummer, i waited 15 minutes for a order of super greens and got home and they were still half raw. Plus the staff Act's like robots and I've never seen any of them ever smile or really be friendly at all.
