    Raw food.. I'm pissed I got gastrointestinal problems for 2 days

    I got sick from their black pepper steak.. they don't care I have filed a food poisoning complaint with the health department.. gastrointestinal problems for 2 1/2 days thank goodness I'm starting to feel better.. trust me don't eat there they don't care

    Angus steak
    Tim Y.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite before continuing on with our trip... First, didn't realize how far off highway 80 it was. First impressions, getting there around 7pm on a Friday night, was long lines. There were 5 people ahead of me, and generally, at most other Panda Express', this would be 5-7 minute wait tops. It took me over 25 minutes to get my food! There was one person working all the roles along the food. She took orders and scooped the food into the togo boxes. There was a cashier and another person who was sorting out all the online/DoorDash orders coming in and placing the order and empty trays along the food. They were definitely prioritizing all the online orders over everyone in the store waiting. You'd think that even after seeing your food in the containers, that you're close to the finish line....nope! Expect another 10 minute wait while they start calling the online orders first. I felt so bad for the one lady who was taking orders. In the middle of helping a few customer ahead of me, something got into her eye or she just needed a breather, and she walked off to the side office room for about 5 minutes. While she was there, no other staff came over to help with her station. Food was consistent with other Panda Express' and the service was friendly. I just think this location is mismanaged or just understaffed.

    Very friendly employees

    Five stars for friendliness of the employees, zero stars for cleanliness of the location, 3 stars for my food. I'm conflicted in how to address my concerns with this location. Panda Express is very close to my office and so it is easy to stop in for a quick meal when I have a fast food teriyaki with rice craving. I general find myself starving and in this location once every couple of weeks. The employees here have always been very friendly, courteous and helpful for me. However, the inside of this location can be disgustingly dirty to the point where if I have time, I will ask for my food to go so I don't have to eat here. Today I got "gunk" all over my new suit and tie when I attempted to fill my soda because it was so dirty and my table had food and garbage all over the floor and dried food all over the table top. Don't kid yourself, this isn't authentic Chinese but I was in a hurry in between meetings and had one of my reoccurring teriyaki cravings so off to Panda I went for a teriyaki bowl with some white rice, a chicken breast and some teriyaki sauce. The meal is actually pretty good and I enjoyed it. I will be back but think I will stick to my to go only orders policy for this location.

    I Got Black pepper angus steak and it was served with the bean stalk not beans. Quality of food is poor.

    Use caution when ordering. August 17, 2025 my order of honey walnut shrimp made me very ill. Severe gastro distress for 12+ hours.

    There is usually many people and the plates contain as minimum food as possible. A bigger plate is nothing here

    Walked in from the foggy weather and ordered Home-made noodle soup. The broth had nice depth to it…read moreand enough bok coy , chicken, beef, shrimp etc. noodles was silky soft. . When I see Singapore chow mein on menu Is a plus. I love the curry spice & stir-fry noodle taste! Cordial staff- waited on me as a solo diner instantly. One thing I did notice was they didn't offer tea which is usually customary at Chinese restaurants. It's just an observation ( not a critique). Love all the original work of art on the walls. I felt like I was in someone's tasteful livingroom. Looking forward to returning after another hike in Auburn.

    FOOD - Walnut Shrimp: battered shrimp with candied walnuts…read moreover broccoli. The shrimp wasn't crunchy enough. Walnut shrimp is my go-to when I have Chinese food so I'm a little bit of a walnut shrimp snob. This was pretty mid. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: beef with onions, red bell peppers, and bok choy. The flavor was pretty good. The beef was tender enough. 3.75/5 - Orange Chicken combo: orange chicken with chow mein, and egg roll. The chicken wasn't dry but not very tender either. The flavor was okay. The chow mein and vegetable egg roll were pretty standard. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice and 4 Dumpling set combo: the fried rice was, also, pretty standard. The pork dumplings were pretty good. The side of wonton soup was good. 3.75/5 SERVICE: Service was pretty fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Everything was okay. Nothing was bad, just nothing to write home about.

    January 25, 2026…read more Update now of any my comments, try one thousand three hundred seventy seven! On the area Ask The Community, a person asks the prices. It for Sums Mongolian is now lunch $17.00. That is rounded off, people think saying $16.99 they saving money. If somewhere like state Oregon, no sales tax yes. For California and other states, no. Okay $17.00, with tax $18.23! May seem expensive however, is an All You Can Eat Place. If the person really can indeed do All You Can Eat, for him it be worth. For person such as I, I cannot do that as much anymore, but I do highly suggest to him if indeed he is able to do those All You Want To Eat restaurants. I will continue to wish this restaurant the best of luck, I will continue to wish the employees best of luck, I will continue to wish the volunteers best of luck!

    All You Can Eat-ish... Bar-B-Que…read more.. I was excited to find out there was a Mongolian BBQ in Auburn. For weeks, my coworker and I have been trying to get our schedules lined up so we can go try it out together. Finally, tonight was that night. We parked in a large parking lot around the corner and noticed it was not busy. One of the employees was sitting outside (outdoor seating is available) on his phone, but he was so welcoming and opened the door for us. He took us to a booth and gave us the run down. Sit. Order your drinks, and go get food. Go back for more, because it's ayce... Tony was really nice and had a great smile! He told us how it works - The server would be over to get out drink order. Then, she brought us some crispy wonton chips with some sweet & sour, a cup of soup each, and a small bowl of rice to share... although there are signs that say "do not share," lol. I'm not sure why you can't share if everyone is paying the same price and eating almost the same exact thing... especially, if it's ayce for everyone... It was exciting to see what they had to offer. After finishing the soup, we walked around the wall to fill your bowl with meats (choice of pork, chicken, beef, or lamb), noodles, vegetables, and at the very end, the flavorful liquid. These liquids make your dish. You can put on a simple teriyaki, but that will make it sweet. There is a house sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wine, vinegar, and kung pao sauce. If you aren't sure what you like, there is a "Sum's Sauce Recommendation" recipe up for your convenience. **Be sure to tip the grill cooks!! The best way I have noticed to do this is to grab 2 bowls. One of for your food and the other, you will want to fill to the at least half way with your liquids. The saucier the better with me! I spoke to the cashier in the front... who told me it's $21 to dine in, and $17 to take it to go since the person taking theirs to go wouldn't be ayce.... (never mentioning the extra charge.) When we sat down, it felt like something in it was missing... maybe a little salt? Usually, I nail my own sauce recipes. Good amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger... garlic, chili oil... a little kung pao... Since we weren't too happy with the flavor of our first bowl, and finished just over half... and this was an ayce... we decided to go back and tweak our creation. This one had better flavor (I added A LOT of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil), but I seriously could still not taste the sesame oil and this trip, and I used a lot (is there such thing as sesame water?). Then, I wondered if they were using low sodium soy sauce (i asked, and it was regular). I'm wondering if all these sauces are watered down since the soy sauce and ginger sauce were lacking major flavor. The sesame oil couldn't even be detected... so either it is old or a not so good brand. I figured I would just take the rest home and fix up the flavor... and since I overheard a server offer to box someone's meal up...I thought that was neat that we were able to take out food home...turns out... we had to pay to take home the rest of our bowls(extra$9), or pay extra to not take it home... a "waste" charge(extra$8). When we first walked in and we asked how this Mongolian BBQ worked, they left out the part about paying for waste/ or taking home the rest of your food for a charge. If we had not gone back for a 2nd bowl, we would not have had to pay the extra charge because we would've just not finished it and left. I felt a little ripped off. Of course, after we were ready to pay, they pointed to the sign on the wall that we did not see... in fairness, we did ask how they operated and we were told to go get more... but we were not told about the extra charge. I felt cheated. Over all, it was not bad, it just was not good. It was edible, but definitely not worth the extra charge.. i didn't even want to bring it home, but with the extra charge, I figured I would fix it up at home to make it taste better. This brought our bill to close to $60... $30 split each. Not worth it. I feel like a great honest business that is confident in what they serve would have been up front about the charges before springing them on you in the end. They even brought us the bill without the extra charge when they noticed we were close to finishing, but then took the check back to add on the extra charge. The signs should have been pointed out. Service was great. Food was not anything to be excited about. Day after, I warmed up my food with a few drops of a sesame oil that I have.. it added 10 times more flavor than the 2 ladles of soy sauce and 3 ladles of sesame oil that I added at this restaurant.

    Ai bao is a rare spot in Auburn with both great asian snacks and teas…read more Auburn is typically low on good Asian spots so this is a real find. First off when you enter the interior is rather modern and very clean you are greeted by the smell of incense (which I like) . The service is cordial and quick, our server was very nice and took our order quickly service. For the food we got some fried BBQ pork baos I think these were homemade the filling was really good not too sweet not too fatty and not too salty - very balanced I liked that the top was brushed with oil and had some scallions on top! My only feedback is that these should be filled more and they bottoms should be fried till golden. For their drinks we got the berry freeze and the mango fruit tea, this might sound like a complaint but It really isn't - they took their time to make these drinks and they made it damn good. Especially the mango fruit tea, strong tea flavor but not too bitter and tasted not overpowered by the fruit flavor either

We could tell their pork buns were genuinely made from scratch, which made the wait completely understandable. The drinks as well were amazing.
