“Been good things about this place so decided to give it a shot. Interior was very nice and clean. My wife mentioned it was great for a date place. Food was fresh and reasonable prices. We had dinner ala cart. There is an option for lunch menu for dinner for 2 dollars more which is a good deal or5 dollars more you can get soup egg roll and shrimp appetizers with al cart. Service was fast and pleasant. I would recommend giving it a try if like Chinese food.“

“We got 2 combo plates (B) and i single (A) and man they load up the food! We got chow mein and rice as sides and beef & broccoli 🥦 Coconut 🥥 Shrimp 🍤 and Orange 🍊 Chicken 🐔. Honestly, it's enough food to split. I got an extra plate, which I probably didn't need. We took a lot home. The chow main was delicious, but the rice was pretty bland. The main dishes were good too. The service was fine. The place itself isn't much for atmosphere or decoration, it's pretty plain. Also to note, a few doors down there is an over 18 only pub or bar, and lots of guys were standing outside smoking.“

“Quick and easy, good food, great rewards program and easy parking. Sometimes, feel a bit rushed through and area to eat is small but clean. The tea and Lychee drinks are fantastic.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options but if you're picky about oil used, just ask.

Parking: The location in Rancho San Diego can be tricky to park close but there's a huge parking lot nearby if you don't mind crossing the little parking lot road. There are other businesses nearby if multiple options are needed and there's a Soapy Joe's car wash if you need a car wash. Otger locations are available all over the city with a drive through in south bay near Notth Island Credit Union Amphitheater and Sesame place water park.“

“After trying the dan dan noodles at a vegan pop-up market today, I can not stop thinking about them! The noodles, the OmniPork, the crisp veggies. Amazing. My boyfriend had the spring rolls and really liked them. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu because the whole menu looks fantastic! The staff was super friendly, and the portions were generous. Who can complain about vegan Chinese food? I can not, as it is challenging to find and is one of my favorite cuisines. I will continue to support this local restaurant and recommend giving it a try!“

“Edith greeted me as soon as I walked into Panda Express. I really appreciated how kind and friendly she was. It was really nice to interact with her for that moment in time. Carlos completed my order and suggested I sign up for Panda Rewards to save 20% which I wasn't aware of. Not only did Carlos assist me with saving some money, but he was very helpful with guiding me through the process and was so kind and patient as well. Thank you Edith and Carlos for your level of customer service and kindness. It was very much felt, seen, and appreciated.“
