Good Panda experience! Hot food, typical good flavor and great service. Not sure why others reviewed so low. Its good!

Quite possibly the worst chow mein I've ever had. It's dry & very chewy; no flavor at all. ‍ To top it off, the men's bathroom is dirty; the sink faucet is wobbling all over the place and they are out of paper hand towels. Don't bother! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Gustine, California

After having tried and experienced all of the crappy fast food joints up and down the I-5 L.A. San Francisco corridor, we decided to give Panda Express a try. Normally I would not have Panda Express, however since the Micky D's and the J in the Box are simply unedible on this interstate, I went in. Wow what a refreshing meal. The restaurant was clean and the food looked good. The servers were right there to help you. We had the broccoli beef, kung pao chicken, Honey bacon chicken ($.50 more), stir fried veggies, orange chicken, with chow mein and fried rice. A-OK The servers did try to up sell some angus beef stir fry for $1.50 more. Decent meal. Bathrooms are clean. Better than getting cardboard food with a side of bad attitude from the burger joints. read more

i've never written a review for anywhere before but save ur time with this panda location and go to starbucks of the mcdonalds close by.. we ordered our food thru drive line, waited the usual amount of time in line and got our food. she first gave us our dr pepper, it was flat and watered down. no problem, we just asked for it to be switched with a different drink. i got my meal, and the orange chicken was crunchy like literal candy and did not taste fresh at all. the rice tasted so bland but the chow mein was good at least. the cubs meal came with apple crisps, and we didnt even receive them. i went in and asked them for it and they seemed confused and was like "who took ur order" i've worked in fast food for a while so ik its not that deep to know who took my order but to replace the item that was missed. one of our meals also had a white cream-ish color block of whatever vegetable was in a bowl that we got. mistakes happen, just make up for it, it's not hard. the girl who took my order was nice although the people inside didnt have the best attitude. even though there was a line, it did seem clean inside. but yeah save ur time from this place, not worth your money at all. read more

This place suuuuuucks the biggest balls. If I can give them a negative star that would still be too much. This place never has steamed rice! Like the most basic Asian item in any Asian food place they should have steamed rice it's the most important part of a meal in any Asian establishment. I'm a truck driver and I eat pretty clean and just wanted some rice and chicken nothing to crazy. Their fried rice looks like fried maggots and the noodles are covered in the worst kinda grease. Have some steamed rice how hard is it to make the easiest thing to make and they never have it. read more

I would love to say this Panda is worth the drive from Los Banos. The Los Banos Panda is horrible. This Panda is less busy and somewhat better run than the Los Banos Panda. However, if you order something, and they say it will take "5 minutes", plan on 20 minutes. Either that or order something else. As soon as they take your money at the window, you are now "low priority". The customers inside now take precedence. Neither Panda has "Super Greens" ready, if you want something healthy instead of starch. Always a wait for that. They'll always have orange chicken ready for fat kids though. read more

This place sucks. It closes at 9:30 but by 9:10 the doors are locked and the drive through is shut down.

This place was amazing ! Very very very clean . Employees were fast and friendly . It was busy but lots of fresh hot food. If the ran out they quickly made more . There was 8 of us on a long drive . It was a very pleasant experience. read more

Alicia was by far the best worker I've ever came across in ANY Panda Express. She deserves a raise and the utmost respect. What a wonderful experience!!!!! So welcoming and kind hearted. Wow! read more

We assumed it had bad reviews because most fast food places do, but this is definitely a subpar panda. Customer service was extremely lacking. Kung pao chicken was burnt. Orange chicken was soggy. Super greens were undercooked. Chow mein was all cabbage. Ordered Rangoons and asked for sweet and sour sauce, and they forgot our sweet and sour sauce. Disappointed. read more

I don't know if I just came at a good time, but this is the best Panda Express I've ever come to. I'm confused by the low star rating. The customer service was great, food was extremely fresh, and everything tasted good. The portion was huge too. I noticed the girl behind the counter constantly checking the temperate of the food with a thermometer. The bathroom was also clean. The toilet paper was even folded into triangles like some kind of fancy hotel. Someone working here is taking their job very seriously. read more

Food was hot, service was great and whoever is cooking needs to get a raise. Best chow mein and orange chicken I have had

Leah had a great attitude and was fast . I love Panda Express and so does my baby girl. They always go the extra way to chop up her grilled chicken. Thanks team Panda Express in Santa Nella Ca Or Hwy 33 read more

Please Check your Receipts!! We usually eat at Panda a few times a month in California & Nevada as we Travel frequently for business. With that said most Panda Locations have about the same level of Quality & Service. We frequent this particular location a few times a month. On This visit in Particular Yesterday evening. My Wife & I ordered a 3 item Combo,Rangoon's,and Fountain Drink. The Manager Arcella charged $15.00 ,as a regular customer of Panda , I immediately knew I was overcharged. After I approached the manager about the over charges she denied ,refused to listen. The over charges explained. Should have Been Charged 3 item combo is $8.50 Rangoon's $1.90 Medium Drink $1.90 Tax Est $13.00 Actual Charges 3 item combo is $8.50 Sting bean chicken $3.70 Medium Drink $ $1.90 Tax Actually Billed $15.09 Did you guys catch the billing Trick? Instead adding the Rangoon's as an add on at $1.90 these tricky Manager purposely charges us for a meat entree add on at $3.70 very clever. After this I told her to refund our money all together after she refused to correct or acknowledge there mistake . Beware of Tricky billing practices although its just a few dollars. Every Dollar counts!! read more

Panda Express - Check Your Receipts Carefully - Chinese Near Me - Gustine, California

This location is one of the best pandas I've ever been to! The Asian lady was super nice and attentive. I always ask for fresh Beijing beef because I like it crispy and this location's crispness and sauce flavor was on point. They're also pretty generous with the portion and the inside is clean. I can't wait to make another trip down to LA just so I can get my Beijing beef fix! read more

Came here during work. Expecting a lot of flies inside, since the westside of the valley seems to have alot of them. Didn't see one at all. Wow. Maybe its the vestibule. Place was very clean. No problem with my order. Food was good. Didn't have to wait for teriyaki chicken. It was already sliced up in a bowl. One negative, and this is at every Panda, the cups. They only last about two hours before the bottom is so soggy that it just gives way. This has happened more than a few times. read more

Fairly decent and consistent with the other Panda's that I've been to. Fairly busy for a Thursday night so food turnover seemed ok. Venue was clean and seemingly new. As a well-eaten Asian, Panda is never really my first choice, but gives a decent Chinese fix when other Asian food isn't around. Food is basically slightly oilier than other "authentic" Asian restaurants, but taste and portions are fine. My go-to entrees: mushroom chicken, string bean chicken, orange chicken Family deal is a good deal for larger families-- fed my family of five with leftovers. Drive-thru available-- something I've never seen at a Panda before. read more

The staff here are the best!! So kind and helpful. I came on December 26 at noon and left my purse behind. I didn't realize I had left it until two hours later but when I called they were so helpful and understanding and had been keeping it safe. Thank you so much!!! The food was good too! read more

good food chicken wasn't super flavorful good overall fast service tho i got the right order as well

Healthy Asian fast food, delicious and consistent quality and quantity among branches/franchises. This Panda Express branch is located in Santa Nella off Fwy 5 ... a nice treat for road trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles, plus this Santa Nella exit always have the cheapest gas stations. Outdoor seatings, drive-thru and inside dining available, clean bathroom is a+. TV airing news was on but not too loud, pleasant casual ambiance. read more

I hate this location so rude and stingy. There are unwelcoming. When Commuting I won't stop here again. Mostly kids working and always have new hires . Don't know what there doing. I should have went to IN and out!!! No eye contact and rush you through and it's like they count each piece of meat the put in your box so disappointed. read more

Travel stop on the way to Southern California. Fast service but disappointed in food presentations. About half of the dishes were half gone and some were almost empty. They were not refilled. Nice workers. Ample parking and tables for groups. Honey Walnut Shrimp - Okay considering this is a fast food type of place. Very few, if any, walnuts present. Orange Chicken - Probably Panda Express' best dish - crunchy! Chow Mein - Dry but edible. read more

I placed an order for 3 plates of food and 2 orders of cheese Rangoons. I was told to wait in the parking lot for 5 minutes for my order. 20 minutes later the rude girl comes out and says nothing just hands me the food. I get home and 2 of my orders are wrong and I'm missing an order of Rangoon. I called the location where I got the food to ask for a refund and the "manager" there was beyond unprofessional. I told her I couldn't read the order number off the receipt because the ink must have been running low so the numbers don't show completely. Regardless I tried reading it to her and she said I was lying because she was looking at a receipt in front of her and it was fine. She claimed that she remembered me and my order even though she wasn't the one who took my order or brought it out to me and she claims that since she remembers my order she knows I'm lying and wasn't there for 20 minutes. I asked for the number for corporate and she gave me the number for the survey which I told her didn't work and she said "well I can't help you then" and just hung up . So beyond unprofessional and completely disappointed with the kind of people that are hired. Absolutely garbage read more

This pace was a mess!! The staff was very rude, as soon as I walked into the door the customer in front of me was taking back a messed up order from drive through and asking them why there was no meat. They had multiple cars waiting in the parking lot from the drive through waiting. Our group showed up at 8pm and they were out multiple entrees. I asked if we could wait for some teriyaki chicken for our group and was given a stern "NO we're closing soon and the teriyaki chicken is in the back in a bag". read more

Pretty nice Panda Express; just off the freeway in Gustine, easy to access and easy to get food. The place seems to be pretty popular because there was a line both times I've been here. The locale is very clean and the servers are friendly. They have some high tables as well as traditional booths, so take your pick as far as seating preference is concerned. Bathrooms are clean and I like Panda, so this is a win-win if you're hungry and in the area in the midst of a long trip either up north or down to socal and below. read more

Some people would think this Panda is either hit or miss. Hard to think it could be any worst than that... I work nearby and I stop at this location more than most, maybe about once a week. 1/5 past times that I have been here they have got my order correct and have been nice to me.. ***NEVER GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU*** read more

Probably the worst Panda experience I've ever had... food was mediocre at best... normally Panda food is good for -- not today. But the bigger issue was the staff... cutting up laughing, ignoring customers, playfully throwing things at one another (there were 2 customers in the restaurant, including me). There were 4 staff that I could see... what bothered me was watching a female employee load up a glass bown of food from the line and stand there (barely out of customer view) eating it. All of the cutting up as soon as a manager / supervisor walked in unannounced (head and employee say it was her day off). Service normally good for -- not today. I guess everyone is entitled to a bad day. read more

Me and partner went in to order two bigger plates done in and a plate for take out. While going in most of the food out was empty or last bits of food left in there along with the side options. Around 2:30 or 3pm, The service was okay but the woman working was not in a great or helpful mood. It felt as if we were inconveniencing her by ordering. We also had to wait for teriyaki chicken due to it having to be made and that's fine but we were told they would bring it out to us. We ate our food sitting and we noticed the chicken was ready and was being served to others. we waited more seeing as we were told it would be brought to us. After a bit we decided to order drinks and i asked for a soda and a tea refresher they had behind the register. I was charged for 2 sodas and the tea and again the worker had gotten upset that i told her i didn't want two sodas just one, this was her mistake and again had a look of irritation on her. She called over the manager and said i wanted a refund for the soda. While it's true i wanted my money back but usually as a crew member you have to recognize when you mess up for something the guest didn't didn't order. she just had a bad attitude during my whole experience. I like to think im an okay guest at places as i worked fast food so i was really just surprised at how this experience turned. read more

Food was good, a little stingy on the protein portions like the chicken, but not bad. It was very fresh compared to the other panda's I've been to especially for this one being a truck stop location. Though the management was difficult to witness. I was sitting with my husband and daughter right by the side entrance, on the low tables near the window in which you can see the drive through cars pass by. I heard, I'm assuming the manager because her uniform looked different to the others, telling a worker that she needs to check the bathrooms better, on-top of other issues THROUGHOUT our time sitting and eating there, which was about 45 minutes. She even had the girl clean the walls with a rag? it was hard to hear the girl because she sounded defeated. I'm hoping this establishment treats their employees well because they were very kind to my family and I. read more

I have to counter some of the negative reviews on this Panda Express on hwy33 Gustine California. I was out walking my dog and oops forgot my mask. The lady at Panda Express graciously told me it was ok for me to use the drive thru window as a walk up. Very polite young lady at window service. Orange chicken and honey sesame chicken both very tasty. read more

Everyone here is very hard working and quick wit it. Idk what these bafoons on the bottom are talking about. I had a wonderful experience, they all deserve a raise. Great attitudes. The food is also extremely good and warm, the fried rice does not look like fried maggots, I don't what that lunatic was talking about, he's probably blind or something. Everything was perfect read more

This Panda Express was not clean. The tables hadn't been wiped off & the floor was sticky and gross. The food tasted as if it had been sitting under the heat lamps for quite a while.
