    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

    Dining area in back

    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.

The inside was very clean - it took us a minute to remember the menu because we don't get there often. Ordering was easy and the person at the counter was super friendly! Food was made quickly and was very tasty, hot and fresh! When we were finished I went to thrown our trash and put the tray back and I noticed the gentleman who was making the food and told him everything was delicious!

My friend said that's what they're known for. I got the bun taco, soft chicken tacos and carnitas burrito. I couldn't believe how huge the chicken taco and carnitas burrito were!! They don't skimp on the cheese either, you can never have too much cheese in my opinion. I could only manage a couple of bite out of the burrito so I brought the rest home for the next day. Each table has their own personal sauce baskets! The bathrooms were clean as was the restaurant. I was just disappointed they didn't have the orange cream shake available while we were there.

I felt that other foods elsewhere taste better than here. There was so many waiting in line and also waiting for there foods. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. The hype of the chili burger isn't even that awesome. It was a waste of my 2 hours plus for the foods that taste like cafeteria foods from school. It felt so suffocating waiting for our foods since there's so many already who ordered and waiting for there foods.The lighting was bright and it's pretty spacious but felt pretty off with everyone still waiting for there foods for hours. Its very chaotic while several ladies was going nuts because of the wait. While they were complaining to staff when are their foods coming out. We almost got are foods sooner but them ladies when off on the staff for waiting x amount of hours and still didn't get the orders yet. We ended up having to wait until 10:33pm to get all our orders. We requested to get french fries first which was around 10:13pm. But mind you we been here waiting since 8:04pm for the whole order. We finally took our first bite at 10:38pm. We left the restaurant by 10:59pm/11pm. The fries we requested at around 10:13pm was hot and fresh. By the time our whole order was ready to be called for us to pick up at the front counter. The batch of fries we had in the box was already cold & old which tasted soggy and nasty. I don't understand how it wasn't even fresh at all since we were like the last few 10 customers left out of a few hundred after the 5pm - 7pm slot was over. We landed in the 8pm slot with only about 10 customers left or so. I really don't understand the disorganized staff and the orders wasn't coming out on time in an orderly manner. The foods wasn't even completely fresh for the customers to consume. They don't even have an intercom to call out the numbers for the customers to pick up their orders. So everyone was shouting the numbers out. The customers was greedy as well who ordered multiple foods on different receipts. There was some who had stacks of receipts just for the chili burgers alone. We came here for the chili burgers(8), fries(4), Extra Large drinks(2), and an ice cream(1). Most people only came here for the chili burgers only. The cash register lady told us we can purchase a multiple of 10 burgers per receipts. We only got 8 chili burgers since everyone was hypeing how great it was. It was just a big fat disappointment. I can get better at another fast food joint. The chili burgers alone had so little bites of ground meat in it. I literally thought it would be on the chunky side but nope. The beef patty was small like the size of a hamburger at McDonald's. The buns is the only thing that was big which made the burgers looked big. They only put so little chili on each burgers as well. So the ingredients to me personally seems a bit on the cheaper side not worth the time and effort. I really don't understand how people hype how good their burgers are. The burgers and fries did not taste as fresh as I thought it would be. Everyone who's exaggerated about the chili burgers need to rethink it again. There are better burgers that taste way better and a bigger portion. My overall experience was definitely not that wonderful. I personally would not recommend this restaurant in general. The staff wasn't all that nice and friendly. The disorganized staff. The food was not coming out in an orderly manner. There was no intercom to call out your number. Everyone waited too long for their orders. They should had capped the multiple transactions for customers to only one per visit. Then again everyone was so greedy. I just wondered if they all going to eat it in one sitting. We couldn't even finish all our foods which we took the rest home for later in the week. I know we were greedy too but at least we did not had multiple receipts. The food was not completely fresh eventhough we waited for hours for the foods. You literally thought since they were busy shouldn't the foods be hot and fresh too. I'm thinking we literally got others leftovers when they made a mistake for other people ordered. I really am hoping it's not what I'm thinking. After we got back home I had a tummy ache. I ended up having a massive diarrhea. It's a good thing I made it home before it ended up on myself. I'm thinking the chili kicked in. I will not come back here again at all. But you never know I might change my mind in the future. You can give them a try. Be your own judge. Eat at your own RISK. As of now it's a no go for me!!
