On November 8th 2025 I begun my day in Culver City, CA. We were watching a video on the history of trilobites to support a dig near the town of amboy that my group was doing. Trilobites are an arthropod that existed in the Paleocene. The rocks in this area holds late Cambrian trilobites. My dad never thought I’d accomplish anything. We arrived in Barstow at 9:25 and looked at places to eat and saw that Panda Express opened at 9:30. We arrived at 9:29 and waited outside for approximately 2 minutes before deciding to eat at Jack in the Box across the street.
Update 9/9: We successfully unearthed some trilobites but mainly the head component, which are called the cephalon. Still a very successful dig. We stopped at this Panda Express on the drive back and arrived at approximately 1:30, I was greeted with the smells of chow mein and orange chicken. However, I live my life mainly as a vegetarian so I opted to eat the eggplant tofu and the half and half combo with power greens. The root beer option was broken in the drink machine which was very disappointing. When I was a kid I used to drink root beer thinking it would get me drunk, unfortunately it just gave me diabetes.
11/9: update update meant to say 11/9 in the review above.

My go to when this momma is to tired to cook. With the bigger plate, I get 2 meals out of it. Stick with the same dishes as my allergy to certain spices give me major issues.

This Panda Express is really slow every time I come I have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for a plate just for orange chicken and Beijing beef The last three times I came here don't come to this location if you're in a hurry I do not recommend coming to this Panda Express try the one over there lenwood

This was a sub-par experience for Panda Express. The employees really did not want to be there and you could tell. Food was not fresh and looked like it had been sitting out. I really love Panda Express, but this location fell flat.

Tall server was very rude and gave me an attitude. Underserved me with only 4 pieces of an item that was left of one pan and while there was another to fill up he didn't grab any and simply charged me full for such tiny portion.

Food taste good first of all so no complains there. Long wait time for a replacement tray of food, and one of the workers was a bit sassy/minor attitude but that's my only complains

I was very disappointed with my order. I first came on Sunday and ordered orange chicken — it was hard and not enjoyable. I went back today hoping for better quality, but unfortunately received the same thing. The food had no heat, wasn’t fresh, and the orange chicken was once again hard and cold.
Most of the pieces weren’t even chicken, just fried dough with seasoning. Only a couple of larger pieces actually had chicken in them, which makes it feel like filler instead of a real meal. For the price, this is unacceptable.
Restaurants should take more pride in preparing food fresh and ensuring quality before handing it to customers. I also suggest avoiding the drive-through here — go inside if you must order, so you can check your food before leaving. Sadly, I did not get my money’s worth and won’t be returning
