    Another order that was preferred other then panda from Bakersfield for small portions smaller then chipotle
    Jesus Brian L.

    Honestly I've never in my life have went to a panda and was given the smallest portions of food ever.The manager there was making sure the employee was giving every one small portions of food like if it was coming out of his pocket. I bought McDonald's instead

    Build Your Own Bigger Plate - 1 Full Side - Fried Rice
    Bri G.

    We eat quite frequently at this location & it's always good. BUT This time, The Best part of our visit, was our interaction with the store manager, Josefina. She was actively making sure the employees were staying on top of both the customers & food. She was showing them how to remain efficient with a genuine smile on her face. A Manager like this deserves to be recognized for her hard work. Her energetic attitude was radiating positivity and it was contagious. We will be back for more great food & friendly service very soon. Thanks Josefina!

    terrible portion. feed me foo I work for the food I pay for.

    wtfk type of shi is this??? half ?? I could've bought a damn bowl if I knew panda was skimping. Set your employees straight panda, actin a damn fool doing this stupid shi. Peep top left clean and empty and i haven't touched this shi yet.

    Worst Quality Panda I have ever Had
    Alex G.

    This has to be the worst panda in Bakersfield-- I got the bigger plate. half-greens & half-chow mein (i giant un-cut cabbage heart the veggies were not steamed enough). The entrees were honey walnut shrimp( must of been hours old, the breading was like mush), honey bourbon chicken, and orange chicken. Im not sure if they cut the chicken at location, but the chicken pieces were gigantic, almost like mini tenders. the only thing edible was the chow mein. Additionally the bottle drinks at the front are warm, the workers are just letting the ice melt and not keeping it cold....

    - Delicious rice and beef. I always take this option at Panda. - The interior of the premises is quite cool. - Plenty of parking spaces. - Courteous staff as always

    Tasty food. The staff is polite. Lots of tables, clean. There is a toilet. I love this chain of cafes.

    No bueno
    Carlos C.

    Service sucks! I had a mobile pick up and drive thru cashier was abhorantly rude and condescending. After that interesting experience, I will be going to a different panda express location!

    It's on 4th and Union But don't let that scare you off…read moreThe staff was wonderful My tea was never empty The dining room is clean & comfortable The food is still amazing. Nothing was oily (way better than fast food Chinese) I went for a lunch with my sister Everything was tasty! Lots of variety of flavors. Can't wait to return for the dinner menu.

    We have been going to Great Castle for over 40 years. It's been our favorite!…read more This is our 3rd visit since they changed ownership and we were really disappointed in the food. The pan fried dumplings were fine, although the filling was reddish colored with little spice. Added the dumpling sauce, reluctantly, because the containers did not look recently cleaned. My most favorite dish, House Special Shrimp, was way off. It looked and tasted like Sweet and Sour Shrimp. The vinegar taste was strong, overwhelming any taste but sweetness. It used to have a savory brown glaze, garlic and mild spiciness. This dish did not. We also had garlic chicken, which was probably the best dish we ordered. Our plate had a few pieces of thinly sliced chicken, but the majority of chicken we were served were 'bits.' Hard to tell the minced garlic from the chicken bits. The fresh onion and bell peppers were great, but cut too big and overwhelmed the chicken bits. Prices at restaurants have gone up, up, up! Now we're being charged for tea & white rice that had been included in every meal for the last 40+ years?!?! Last but not least!, the floors are dirty and there's dust everywhere. place is dusty & dirty. I don't recall it ever being this dirty. I was looking forward to the House Special Shrimp and a delicious Chinese meal. I was very disappointed

This time the son and I decided to dine in and the food was borderline spoiled, nothing tasted fresh and it wasn't hot, nor warm. Our food was borderline cold. The interior was dusty and in need of attention, especially the fake plants. Though spacious when we entered there wasn't a soul in the place, which was a red flag, but per usuh we brought people. I'm not sure if our food was so nasty because we ordered a lunch special and they reserve what's going bad for those orders because the other four families dining in didn't seem to be having the same experience. What saved this review from being a 1 star review and the only reason I didn't complain to the waitress about the quality of the food is because the only server was elderly and unable to pick up her feet and my very gracious son said to lig, so I did, but it appears if the couple who runs the restaurant doesn't get some help soon they may need to close their doors.

One day after work I'm kinda sad... being an LA boy I missed my asian cuisine. Mom was out at MahJong and dad was idk planting flowers or something (he's retired now so I guess he picked up Botany). Out comes the beef chow fun. Quite frankly it itched my chinese tickle. You know its good when it's named "fun." That's "noodles" in Mandarin for my non-Mandarin friends. 5 out of 5. This ain't the country side of BeiJing but it'll do.
