    Large dine in area
    Michael R.

    Orange chicken. Located at a rest stop area, it's the same formate as all the other pandas. You can use the app to claim rewards or just get points. This Panda has a large very clean dining area and semi clean restrooms. Overall three stars. The food was fresh and good. Service was with a smile and quick. M

    Absolutely HUGE dining area. Let's a lot of light in so it's nice to get your bearings and stretch out after a long drive. So many different kinds of seating options. Since this is a location between the states the crowd is huge but the employees have no issue getting through it. The line is long but the service is fast! Lots of employees making new dishes in the back, 2 employees cresting the plates along the line, and 2 cashiers. Such an efficient set up. The food is fresh and plentiful. No scraping woks to get the very end of the entree. Everything was piled high and steadily being added while we waited in line. I loved having this as a heavier option as opposed to the regular burger and fries fast food joints that my mom calls "finger foods." Bathroom was clean and comfortable. A+, Panda Express!

    Nicole, she deserves to be like employee of the month or something. She cheerfully did her job and genuinely greeted everyone

    Stopped by here for a quick lunch from Vegas. First time we've ever been to a Panda Express or any fast food place with an employee who went around cheerfully greeting customer and genuinely asking the customers if they were ok, or needed anything and made sure that customers were satisfied. She didn't just go around once but the whole entire time while we were there she went around like 3 times while she cleaned up and picked up after customers. My family and I were so impressed that we all commented on this. While leaving, I saw her open the doors for the customers and cleaned the door despite the 102° hot desert heat!! I couldn't help but ask her for her name!! Nicole with the red hair and red bow matching the red Panda Express t-shirt, keep doing what ur doing. Your cheerful demeanor and whistle while u work attitude is what this world needs. You are the true sunshine of Barstow! Panda Express, pls give this girl a raise or a promotion or something! Companies need to recognize workers like here. Or maybe figure out a way to bottle up her sunny disposition and include it as part of customer service training 101!

    Frequent visitor. Love the recent updates. Chefs specials are fun to try. Lilian T was friendly and it's great to see Alex (the manager) looking after his people. Thankful to find eggplant tofu here as it's often not available at other locations.

    Poor packaging inside panda,i didn't even leave the cashier when i complained about the lack of care

    Food sucks old hard cold orange chicken,little small white girl put my chicken inside the bag without securing the lid and the teriyaki chicken spill inside the bag,of all the panda express i have eaten this messed up twice already and its new years day that i will never forget the lack of professionalism to customer

    This is one of the fast food options off the I-15 in Barstow where folks tend to take a break on their way to or from Las Vegas. Overall, it was a good place to use the restroom and grab a quick bite. Can't go wrong with some orange chicken from Panda.

    Eggplant tofu with chow mein. 11/10
    Jo M.

    Fun fact: Did you know that Panda Express as a franchise gatekeeps one of their best entrées, the eggplant tofu, meaning only select locations have this diamond in the rough? Thanks to a lovely human by the name of Amit Tallapragada, there is an "Eggplant Tofu Finder" map on the internet which tracks every P.E. store that serves it. I'm very surprised that most P.E. stores in SoCal are not very eggplant tofu friendly. There's not a single location near me that serves it. None. While this Barstow location isn't necessarily the closest carrying store to me, I usually exit on Lenwood whenever I'm traveling from CA to NV (and vice versa) and I want to make a pit stop for food. It's okay if you haven't heard of the eggplant tofu because I'm doing you all a favor by speaking up. You can see the crispiness of the tofu, and don't get me started on the sauce. She GLISTENS. My mouth was salivating. I had to take a picture to remember this moment forever but best believe I devoured my bowl right after. When you drive a long way and you're determined to get one thing and one thing only, everything else is just a cherry on top. The customer service was also great. Huge thanks to everyone here for taking care of all the travelers coasting by on a daily basis. TLDR: Eggplant tofu. Major slay. 11/10

    Fried rice, orange chicken and grilled teri chicken
    Mark Y.

    Catching up on some of my reviews from the holidays. This is the Panda we stopped at on the way to Palm Springs, we usually go to the Panda at the train station but I'm glad we stopped at this one instead, it's much better. I think a big difference is the food turnover at this one is much higher so the food is fresher. They also give generous portions which is great. I had a regular plate that comes with a starch and two main dish choices. I got my usual orange chicken and ended up choosing the grilled teriyaki chicken as my second choice. Both were good with the chicken pretty tender in each. The thing I liked about the teri chicken was the chicken wasn't soaking in the teriyaki sauce, they pour a scoop of sauce on the chicken as it's served. I asked them to pour some teri sauce on the fried rice as well, that was really good. Mark H ended up getting orange chicken for both choices but after a few bites and some fried rice, he didn't want anymore. He was getting over a stomach flu type thing and food in general made his stomach queasy. Guess who ate the rest of his chicken. ;-p Overall I think this is one of the better Pandas I've been to and I've been to a lot of 'em over the years. The service was fast and efficient even with a huge line to order, the restaurant also has a lot of seating and kept very clean. Even the restroom was clean and I'm sure with all the travelers that restroom gets a lot of use. The one at the train station is a definite 2 stars but this one on Lenwood is much much better.

    Menu as of 10/24/21
    Regina L.

    Off the Lenwood exit on the I-15, you'll find tons of eateries, Panda Express being one of them. I'm sister and I ordered a plate each. I had half fried rice and chow mein for my side with honey walnut shrimp and mushroom chicken for my entrees. The mushroom chicken was made fresh but the flavor was off. My sister had fried rice with orange chicken and chicken teriyaki. The orange chicken was more tangy than we expected. All in in all the food was okay. It is very busy at this location so if your favorites are popular expect to wait 5-10 minutes for them to make some more.

    See all

This isn't one of those fancy fusion places trying to reinvent American-Chinese food -- it's pure, classic comfort, done right. Got the orange shrimp (the star of the menu, obviously) and it was perfect: plump, juicy shrimp tossed in that iconic sweet-tangy sauce, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. The broccoli on the side was fresh and not overcooked, which is a win for any Chinese takeout spot. Service was warm and fast, even on a busy Saturday night. The place has that cozy, no-frills vibe that only comes from being a family-run staple for decades. If you're in Lucerne Valley and craving the kind of Chinese food that tastes like home, skip the new spots and come here. 10/10, will keep coming back for another 43 years

And I get Moo Shu almost every time because it's just yummy. Honestly, we all finish our plates when we come here. I think the spice is a great meeting place for lunch or dinner when you're in the high desert my whole family will highly recommend this on any given day as a meeting place.

Unable to detect any scallion or onion flavor so I opened it. Tiny specs of what had to be those dried chives or green onion flakes. Scant amount. This is a simple, cheap fix for a usually delightful side order: Just chop up some fresh green onions and throw them in there. Easier on the oil & these would've been pretty good. Wouldn't order this unless they revamp this simple app. Distracting banging around of pots and pants in background. I guess it was pot washing time.

I also wanted to order their Shredded Pork with Rice Noodle dish off of their Korean menu. I had it before but, due to a miscommunication with the waitress, I ended up with Japchae instead. The Japchae was actually excellent, well made with a noticeable amount of wok caramelization flavor. The sweet potato glass noodles had a firm, chewy texture and provided a nice contrast with the tender pieces of pork and stir fried vegetables. I will probably order Japchae again even though I don't think this is a regular menu item. It is highly recommended. Service is polite and efficient.
