“I’ve had a good experience at this Panda Express on Ave L. The food is usually fresh and comes out hot, especially the orange chicken and chow mein. Staff are friendly and service is fairly quick, even during busy times. Sometimes the line gets long or they run out of popular items, but overall it’s a solid spot for a quick, reliable meal.“
“Google maps initially sent me to the location on west Avenue L based on our location.
When we arrived at that location on Avenue L, I looked for their health inspection letter grade, but couldn't find it posted anywhere on the business entrance/exit doors and/or windows. Instead, it suspiciously was posted by the fountain drink machine inside the business where it looks like it's been altered.
When I asked a woman who identified herself as Kathy, who said she was in management, where the recent health code inspection grade was she pointed to the sign by the fountain drink.
A man behind the counter seemed interested in my question to Kathy, so I posed the same question to him, since he indicated that he was also in management, but Kathy wouldn't allow him to be questioned and instead, kept pointing to the altered, out dated sign, that's not legally posted.
She told me to contact the Los Angeles Health Department with my concerns, knowing it's a Saturday and that they're closed instead of just verifying the status of their recent health code inspection because I suspect it's not what's posted by the fountain machine!
I suspect there's an issue that the Los Angeles Health Department should look into, and perhaps Panda Express Corporate should look into, if this location on Avenue L isn't up to grade for quality, training, transparency, health, and inspection purposes!
As far as this location goes, their signage was clearly marked and dated within the last two months which verifies that said business is performing at the level of an A for quality and health code standards!
Officer Karen Lawdawg would agree, as the service was fast and efficient. The property was clean and free of debris and vagrants. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, and the portions were just right!

Vegetarian options: Seafood, rice, and chow mein!“
“Love Panda this location I'm not very impressed with. Drive 8 miles to their location just to get dinner. Have ordered food and watched staff goof off. We have asked to wait for fresh food that is being made ( egg rolls, chow mein) and they pack our plates and it sits not only waiting for fresh portions but they will serve others in line before remembering to fill our order. That has happened a few times. When ask for manager to report, he was one of the goof offs! Would love to clean that place up. Not excited about this location.“
“lowk wasnt gonna write a review bc I did the survey thingy but damn this was the best panda. The nice workers did the thing, I wanted to just know if there was gonna be fresh string bean chicken soon and she offered me a whole new batch just because I asked how nice. And the cashier was so chatty and sweet, I asked about the refreshers and she offered me a sample, even giving me a taste of her favorite one how cute is that. It was good too like damn. And I ate my plate clean it was delicious. Nice one!!“
“I frequent this location a lot, the staff is incredibly friendly & enthusiastic. Last night I had to last minute put in an order close to close, despite the late order the staff was still kind & had my order out quickly! Overall amazing staff & well cooked food!“
