“APRIL 2026 REVIEW:
I'm a regular at this location. Their new Dynamite - Sweet & Sour Chicken is well worth the drive. Service is always great, the store is always pristine and they're in a prime location (right on Lake Av) which helps a lot with ambiance and traffic into this store in general. I think all Panda Express locations I've been to are amazing in their own right, but this one stands out in particular for its commitment to excellence. 10/10
SEPT 2025 REVIEW:
I've been to this location several times since I've lived in Pasadena for the past 3 and a half years. The classic top-rated American Chinese fast food that they're well-known for can be found here. The portions are not as generous as some other hole-in-the-wall American Chinese fast food places but there is definitely quality to be found here. The limited-edition Hot Orange Chicken is a must have if you read this review and they still have it available. Beijing Beef is another go-to entree and we cannot forget about the Honey Sesame Chicken Breast or the Honey Walnut Shrimp. All of them highly recommend.“
“Food quality was excellent—ingredients tasted fresh, portions were consistent, and presentation was appealing. Cleanliness standards were clearly a priority, from the serving line to the dining area. This reflects strong team discipline and leadership.“
“Wooo! Love me some good Panda Express! I’ve visited this location several times and love their food! With the dodgers wins! I was able to score some cheap meals! My favorite is really the eggplant and tofu and of course the orange chicken.“
