I go here all the time and have always had amazing experiences this last time I think they had a lot of online orders because they seemed to have a lot of orders open all over the place. It’s normally where you follow your food and watch them scoop but this time we gave our order and then waited for our name to be called. We had two items in our order incorrect. Food at panda is good tho so it is fine but we wanted orange chicken not giant sliced chicken and we wanted broccoli beef but we got it without the sauce that it is normally in it is plan meat and brocolli

I came in at 8:20pm on July 2,2025 . The lady that helped me with my order was rude and inpatient her name was CHERRY . When I come in to any Panda Express the cashier’s are always so polite and friendly. Also there was no Benjiam beef or white rice . There was a wait over 15 minutes. Although Salis and Jemar were super polite and friendly. Hopefully this review gets seen from corporate it is not okay to have these type of attitudes in a workplace. She was also rude to the cooks raising her voice for sides without a please . Not okay !!!

Came in an hour and a half before closing and the employees complained amongst each other as if I could not hear. I have worked in food and I understand coming in 30 mins till close or 5 minutes till close but a full 1.5 hours?! At least speak where I’m not in ears reach??? Having an attitude because you have to do your job is mind boggling to me.

Rude workers, I asked for a manager and they all were acting weird. They then brought someone who was in a regular uniform, who was clearly not a manager to come lie to my face. Talk about unprofessional ???

The only Panda I’ll go to, best staff, super clean, and quick with food refills. They are happy to see you use the Panda app and root you on with accumulating points. Open fairly late too which is awesome for those “I really don’t feel like cooking but need to eat something” days. Check em out

Normally I don’t receive popular chains like this but the staff was super quick and friendly, and although it was busy at lunchtime, there’s was no wait and all the food was fresh & constantly being replaced. Great team & manager

As a man that also works in a Kitchen I understand when you're trying to close but people keep putting in last minute orders. I honestly can't fathom why this place has only a 3.9 and others in San diego are higher. This one at least gave me fresh food when they didn't have any teriyaki at thr moment I ordered. Yes I had to wait longer but it was fresh, workers didn't complain, and the nice girl at thr counter gave me a free cold drink for my wait. All the other ones never do that for me and they always forget the sauces and etc. I asked for on my ticket. For the price you can't beat it. Thanks guys and ignore these nasty comments. As a Kansas dude I think some of these girlscouts just like to complain...lol
