Not only did they get rid of the vegetarian orange chicken, they also got rid of the eggplant tofu which was universally liked and replaced it with super greens which were already there. No one likes super greens. The eggplant tofu was soooo good. I’m sad and disappointed. Be better, my stomach needs eggplant tofu. Edit : they fixed it!!!! My needs are quenched. I never lost hope through these tough times.Vegetarian options: Amazing

Absolutely pathetic. They said that they didn't accept cash at all even though I've paid with it before and had rude customer service. The UCSD app says they do accept cash as well... What garbage.

This is probably the most popular spot in Price Center during lunch hours, and the line here can get a bit ridiculous, even wrapping around the hallway sometimes. The options here are more limited than in other locations (they don't serve staples such as Teriyaki Chicken here) but this is a campus classic that's sure to fill you up.

To be honest not the best Panda Express. Food always tastes different from other panda express's but it's convienent location is it's pro. If you are a Panda Express afficianado I would recommend going to a different Panda Express nearby such as the one at UTC.

I guess it's my fault for eating at Panda Express on a Monday at 1030 am but the chow mein noodles were hard like it was leftovers from the weekend and chicken was not good. Probably better to go when it's busy so everything is prepared fresh.

With many of the Panda Express locations you will find the great service and the great aroma for the best food that is served. With the great flavor of the dishes are some of the best ingredients with the sauces that are from the sweet and the spicy. As a Yelp Elite this one place that has the spirit of the food with the way it's prepared. The many Panda Expresses that are here in San Diego and many locations which are located at the many food courts which has the large areas where you can have large groups and with your sports team you play with. Panda Express has pushed the bounds with large restaurants of the full size and some that have been drive throughs and with many others that have been places for advancements. From the many cities that you may travel to and the shopping malls you may see the location the great smell of the food picking a three Item combo with a bottle of soda or fountain drink. From the many favorites and the Greatest chicken.

Pretty standard but it's pretty awful how the servers just pile the food into the boxes and don't close them properly. All the aauce falls out and it's just not very appetizing.Sure, students don't have much choice for food but please improve on the presentation.

I have only the best things to say about Rosalyn and her team at UCSD Panda Express. I had ordered Panda Express for 65 students through Uber Eats. And then Uber Eats (not Panda Express) cancelled the ordered 45 minutes before the huge student lunch was to begin. I frantically called UCSD Panda Express. They told me that they would have the party trays ready for 65 students in 30 minutes! They went out of their way to call me to confirm that they had the food ready. It was raining outside, and they wrapped up all of the food in plastic bags so that it would not get wet. The food was delicious, easy to transport, and ready super fast. They got all parts of our order correct. They also gave us plenty of plates, chopsticks, sauces, and fortune cookies. The whole team was able to quickly meet all of our needs. Rosalyn was so warm and accommodating.
