I ordered the food online and I went to go pick it up when I got home to eat half of the honey walnut shrimp was burnt. Who packs the food and care.... no shame

The piss poor excuse for ragoons.

I ordered a plate @5:10pm it was picked up at 5:17pm order number 933161. I live right over on Madison and ballentyine. Less than 5 minutes away, By the time it got here it was cold. Not hot , not like warm, cold. The shrimp and the golden chicken. Cold. So I figured the ragoons would have to make up for the entree. Nope, cold and looked like they were poorly put together and then forgotten about. This isn't the first time this location has let me down. But it will be the last.

Waited 15 minutes for undercooked broccoli with 3 pieces of sauced up beef.

I walked up and placed my order for a 2 item. The girl working asked me what entrees I wanted. Since the broccoli beef was empty, I asked if they were going to make any more. I couldn't hear her response, so I told her I couldn't hear her. She didn't speak up the 3 times I let her know I couldn't hear her. When I finally could understand what she was saying ("it will take about 5 minutes to cook"), I said okay and paid, and waited. My receipt time showed 5:33pm. As I sat there for 5 minutes, I witnessed the server telling the cook that she needed broccoli beef. Another 5 minutes go by, and still not done. After waiting about 15 minutes, she starts filling my to-go plate with the entree, next to the cold chow mein and chicken I initially ordered from the beginning. When I got home, I was extremely disappointed. The broccoli beef entree was undercooked broccoli and 3 tiny pieces of beef with stabbed on oyster sauce. It was inedible. (Please see photo).

Crap

This the worse Panda!! Don't come here the food is nasty !! Unflavorable!! I got the broccoli n beef. And the broccoli was dark brown!! Rice dry af no favor. Mushroom chicken soggy and nasty mushrooms were not mushrooms!! Waste of money. I didn't eat crap!

Teriyaki was burned!

This place has gone from 4 to 0 for me. I used to love it but now it's really bad, didn't want to say anything since my daughter was hungry and getting upset(2y) but not coming back to this location

I can't say that I was very impressed, but what do you expect from a Panda Express inside the food court at the mall? I guess it would be acceptable to expect a typical PE experience, but I didn't set the bar too high, given the location. I will be back, as I am a big fan of Panda Express and will give them another shot. Next time I hope to see a good supply of fresh food and them not scraping the bottom of the bowl to fill my order. I ordered the Beijing Beef with mixed vegetables, which is usually what I get every time I go to any PE. Both tasted as though they had been sitting there for a while waiting for a poor sap like me to order them so they could finally fill them up with fresh food. Looking for a free refill on your beverage? Not going to happen at this location. They wanted to charge fifty-three cents for a refill on a medium soda. I am assuming this is due to all of the kids that hang out at the mall on a continuous basis and just order soda, but it shouldn't affect those that have ordered a meal.

Would you pay $11.00 for this food?
Michelle U.

This is horrible! I feel like they don't even want to put anything on my plate. This isn't the first time they gave us a serving like this. This isn't deserving of the money you pay for this. It's an awful service!

There is really bad place. She never smile. She never understands us. There is no respect. Don't use any time.

I stopped by around 3 PM on a Wednesday. There are a handful of parking spots next to the food…read moretruck, and they have a covered tent with a table if you'd like to eat there. The concept is definitely unique. Their menu includes burgers, wraps, shawarma wraps, and street corn, with the option to add Hot Cheetos or Doritos to several menu items. I ordered the: *Doritos Grilled Chicken Breast Wrap: it comes served over a bed of French fries tossed with Doritos seasoning. The fries were flavorful, fresh, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The wrap itself was good, but I was expecting a much stronger Doritos flavor. There wasn't much of that signature taste inside the wrap, so it felt like a missed opportunity considering the concept. You can also upgrade your order with street corn mixed with Hot Cheetos or Doritos for an additional $2.99. My total, including tip, came to a little over $18. While that's a bit on the pricey side, the wrap was massive and easily enough for two meals. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it's a fun and creative concept with generous portions. I just wish they'd lean into the theme a bit more by adding more of that bold Doritos flavor to the wrap itself.

The menu is definitely built around bold flavors and fun concepts. They offer their signature Bomb…read moreBuns, Bomb Bun Bowls, loaded fries, smash beef burgers, grilled chicken wraps, and beef shawarma wraps. What really makes them stand out is their use of Hot Cheetos and Doritos throughout the menu. We decided to try the Hot Cheeto Beef Burger ($12.99), which comes with a smashed beef patty, pickles, caramelized onions, arugula, Swiss cheese, Rizzo sauce, and fries underneath the burger. I ordered mine without pickles and added avocado. Presentation-wise, it was just okay. It definitely looked better on the menu. The burger came out looking a little rushed and the bun wasn't centered. Not a huge deal, but it didn't have that wow factor I was expecting. Service was pretty transactional from start to finish. Nothing negative, but there wasn't much interaction beyond taking the order and handing out the food. As for the burger itself, I have mixed feelings. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't quite live up to the concept. The beef tasted fresh and good quality. I really liked the avocado addition. It added a nice richness and freshness that balanced everything out. I just wish there had been more caramelized onions because they were barely noticeable. Oh and no clue where the arugula went. My biggest issue was that the Hot Cheetos didn't really do much for the burger itself. Most of that flavor ended up on the fries, so the burger never really delivered the wow factor I was expecting based on the name and photos. Ironically, the fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. The Hot Cheeto flavor came through much more there, and I liked that there was melted cheese underneath with their signature sauce throughout. They felt more like loaded fries than a side dish and honestly stole the spotlight from the burger. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For me, it landed right in the middle. Decent, but not something I'd specifically go out of my way for again.

Why have a "loyalty program" when they add points then reverse it later that same day. I went today and ordered my usual 2 burgers, fries and drinks. I gave my phone number for the Points. I then asked Vieann H (who identified herself as the manager) when I showed her my receipt from last time I visited and questioned why they reversed the previous points and why I got none from this receipt I produced. She tried to act like it was my fault I received no points and couldn't tell me why the points were reversed from the previous visit (even after she went back in the office to do the research. She told me when came back from the office, she could see all my order history but she couldn't give me back any points from my 2 previous visits. I told her this will be the last time I come and she is losing a customer over 29 points. SHE COULD CARE LESS. Her response to this was "I went in the back to do research". Beware! They don't even deserve the 1 Star I had to give them.

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea. All the options were flavored, and since I'm not a soda drinker, that would've been nice to have. Overall, such a great first visit. Great food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Duke's Old Fashioned Onion Burgers has become a pretty popular spot in La Mesa. Every time I've…read moredriven by, there's always a steady stream of people coming in and out, so I figured it was finally time to see what the hype was about. They also rotate fun milkshake specials, and when I visited they had an Apple Pie Milkshake that sounded really good. I just wasn't in the mood for something sweet that day. I kept it simple and ordered the Single Onion Burger ($13.95) with mayo, ketchup, and lettuce, plus an order of the Original Fries ($5.75). The onion burger is made with fresh ground beef that's smashed with onions on the grill, and you can customize it with toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapeños, cheese, mustard, and ketchup at no extra charge. Bacon is available for an additional charge. The restaurant itself was really clean, and I appreciated the self-serve condiment station stocked with ketchup, spicy ketchup, ranch, plenty of hot sauces, and to-go containers. The fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. They're fresh cut and double fried, coming out piping hot with a crispy exterior and fluffy center. The portion was also super generous. They packed so many fries that they were spilling outside of the container into the bag. Paired with the ranch and spicy ketchup, they were honestly worth ordering on their own. The burger was a little more disappointing. The patty was overcooked, which made it pretty dry. You could even tell by the color that it had spent a little too much time on the grill. Since I usually keep my burgers pretty simple, there wasn't much to balance out the dryness, so I found myself dipping almost every bite into extra ketchup and ranch just to add some moisture. I can definitely see why Duke's is a neighborhood favorite, and I still like the concept behind their onion burgers. It just didn't completely satisfy the burger craving I walked in with. I'd come back for the fries without hesitation, and I'd be willing to give the burger another shot hoping I caught them on an off day.
