Panda Express in Salinas

“This location is good for late night , but only drive-thru is open. I mostly use the app to order ahead & usually I’m able to get in and out within 5 min or less. Interaction with employees are pleasant and friendly. Depending on the time of day if you dine in can be really busy , although others might not tend to clean their area when done eating . I do clean my area when finished eating & usually the staff is good about cleaning up the dining when need be.

Only suggestion is that their fountain drinks aren’t consistently good. On multiple different visits to this location , the sugar in the soda is very minimal. It’s as if you’re drinking carbonated water with a hint of flavor , so I don’t get drinks from
This location anymore.“

“This isn't your ordinary Panda Express. The owner or the GM is breaking All the rules for a Panda Express of the past! The food was freshly made with vegetables you haven't seen before. Crunchy broccolini and the like. The steak bowl sirloinAppeared and tasted like Angus!! We ate there three times and it was consistent, you may as well have been in a three-star Chinese restaurant. SIX STARS for a Mall resteraunt!?“

“I been eating at this restaurant since it opened because I work at Safeway. The food used to be ok when I have nothing else to eat. Ever since Grace (manager) arrived the place been more crowded and the food tasted better. The noodles and rice used to be under cook and the quality of food wasn’t that great. Under Grace’s management the food tastes fresher and the rice and noodles cook perfectly. There seem to be more customers and staffs there so the line is quick and the services are awesome. I been eating there more often now.“
