The last time I had Panda Express was in high school. I used to love this place. Not sure if it's this location in particular or the fact that I'm older and have more refined taste but my recent lunch here was not great. Of particular disappointment was the String Bean Chicken Breast. This was listed as a "Wok Smart" option but did not taste healthy AT ALL. The chicken bits, while potentially actually from the breast, resembled scrap, throw-away type pieces with hard bits of tendon mixed in. Maybe it was low calorie but it was not appetizing. I also got the Honey Walnut Shrimp and veggies as a side. Both were good and up to my Panda Express standards. Basically just do not get the String Bean Chicken Breast. And this is Panda so have lower expectations overall. read more

Staff is super slow.... Not even busy , 25 minute wait is craaazy work !!! Again not even busy just a lot of talking

As a Livingston resident, it's been years since I come to this panda express. Last time I was here the noodles were not cooked properly. I decided to give this panda another chance today. I ordered chow mein, orange chicken, and sweet fire chicken. When I arrived to my house, I opened the plate, and it was the skimpiest Portion of food ever there was so little chowmain n chiken. I was in shock! This is the reason I never come to this one. I was thinking about calling and making a complaint about this, but I decided to just leave it at that. Honestly, I will never return to this panda express I will stick to Atwater or Merced. January 7, 2024 read more

I asked for Chow mein, when I tell you it was 10% noodles 90% veggies is so disappointing. Please do better. This location is either a hit or miss, most of the time is stays a miss though. One star is too generous at this point. read more

Horrible customer service every single time it never fails. Drive through order turns into a 25 wait in front parking and all to still get the incorrect order. Complained and tried to get my order correct but was just left standing in front of the register with nobody trying to help. No manager was present so no accountability. Would honestly put zero stars if it was available. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. I have been here 5 times during the past 4 months. And it gets worse every time. Please have management train again at how to properly run an establishment. I have had full orders missing. I've gone through the drive through and waited up to 25 minutes for two plates of food. The always run out of food and have you wait or will tell you at the window we ran out constantly. If you do come here ALWAYS check your food. You will be missing items wether it be sauces, entrees, straws or napkins! Something will always be missing. Be forewarned We opened up my sisters plate and they gave her chow mein instead of steamed veggies. read more

I went drive through and ordered a bigger plate. Cashier was very fast to rush my order so I could make it to the next window. Didn't think much until I parked my car and my order was wrong. Rice was not steamed white, and they forgot my side portion. Didnt bother to go inside the place was dead empty. Kind of annoying how this always occurs. read more

Panda Express - Wrong order and receipt - Chinese Near Me - Livingston, California

Panda Express Livingston is pretty good. The drive thru moved surprisingly fast for a Panda Express. The staff isn't always the friendliest, so that's why 4 stars instead of 5. The food has been great 4 out of 5 times have gone. But is Panda Express always good everytime ? Nah. I recommend this location. Solid. read more

AWFUL!! How does this Panda Express mess up a standardized and original dish? We ordered the plate with the original orange chicken and chow mein! The orange chicken had no discernible sweetness at all. So, the strongest flavor that came up was a strong citrus sourness. The chow mein noodles had no discernible salt taste (not even soy sauce). This is odd because the teriyaki chicken tasted fine. I will sure to never return here in the future. read more

Stood in line nearly 10 minutes with 3 people in front of me. Staff was more concerned with online orders than the line that grew to 10 people. With a limited lunch break I don't have the time to stand and wait. read more

Horrible food. Rice was hard as a rock, Not fully cooked. Chicken was tateless. Plates are half empty. What is going on??

If I could give it zero stars I would. The people taking the orders talk too fast and don't seem to listen to what you tell them. You end up correcting the order, and it's stiff iffy whether or not you'll get what you ordered. The last two times we've been there they've been out of white rice, and fried rice. They had no chow mien the previous visit either. They offered brown rice, but it wasn't done, it was hard. Their food is always cold. Half the time you don't get what you've ordered. I'm just done with this place. read more

Livingston has somewhat limited choices when it comes to places to eat. So I was happy when I found out they were getting a Panda Express, one more choice to choose from. There were a few people in front of me when I walked in, but the line moved relatively quickly. The employees were both friendly and efficient. The dining area had ample comfortable seating, and it was clean. I had the orange chicken, Peking pork, and fried rice. It was decent (typical Panda Express) but nothing outstanding. However I am happy to have another lunch time choice. I will be back and will work the place into my lunch rotation. read more

Lady tried to charge me for a refill after I spent 40$ in food. This panda is cheap as hell. You have been warned. Poor service. Very rude people. Food has gotten really bad. Do better Panda Express. read more

My sister got food poisoning, she feels like throwing up. Shes having to go to the bathroom often.

Once again this panda has failed! Its disgusting how they can serve us customers raw food! This chow main was still cold , raw and in a ball , the fact that the cook let this go and not only that the worker serving this food serve this and let this leave the kitchen is disgusting and in a KIDS MEALS! Seriously! To top it off also had a shitty attitude ! This isnt my first time visiting this panda i always try to give them the benefit of the doubt but i always leave disappointed.. this is sad ... read more

Now I know why this place has 1 star and most people say they would give 0 if it was available. We went thru the drive thru and ordered 2 plates, 1 half and half with orange and teriyaki, one with all chow mein, orange and teriyaki. When we got home, we find out that the chow mein was 75% veggies and 25% noodles... if that... the orange chicken had vegetables under and the same with the teriyaki which only had 4 pieces, yes, 4 pieces of teriyaki. Of course with the vegetables under, it looked like a big portion. If you don't have enough food to complete the order say so..don't waste people's time, most likely we will wait for fresh food or order something else if we are in a hurry, but don't be sneaky, that is bad business. Never again would I go back to this place read more

I love Panda! Naturally, I got super excited it was coming to our little home town in Livingston. I've been here maybe 4-5 times and every time has been a less than desirable experience. I waited 18 minutes, no one in line, no one inside the restaurant, and they made me wait in the parking lot for my 2 Entree and crispy shrimp. Sorry Panda, you need to work on this location! read more

They are the worst service ever I was just wanting to eat a good hot meal come out to be that they don't accept $50 dollar bill like wtf how??? If ur right on the Freeway!!! Never going there again very rude too did not pay attention to what I was say they kept switching people of the drive thru headset because they didn't understand what I was ordering horrible experience read more

I only got 3 small pieces of beef when I ordered the beef and broccoli. Very disappointed in the serving ratio. Step up your game Panda. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Livingston, California

If you go to Panda Express in Livingston, you MUST check your plate before you get out of the restaurant, chances are, they got it wrong!! Had the worst experience to date at Panda Express today. I stood in front of the counter for about 10 minutes and was never acknowledged or even told the accustomed "we'll be right with you" all of the staff were running around taking orders and trying to fill up the empty food containers unsuccessfully. While I was waiting, a girl came in with a plate because she had gotten her order wrong. When it was my turn to order, I ordered a plate with chowmein and double orange chicken. the young woman that helped me had a rude attitude and told me that I would have to wait for the orange chicken because they were all out at the moment. I waited along with two other families.... about 10 minutes later we got our plate and left since our order was to-go. When we got home, we opened the plate and it had chow main and only one side of orange chicken, one of the sides in the plate (which was supposed to be orange chicken as well) was missing. In the past I've had teriyaki sauce, or sweet and sour sauce missing, but never a whole item. The staff is often more interested in having fun and laughing and joking around amongst themselves than actually having food in the pans and paying attention to the customers' orders. read more

Dear Panda managers. Be sure you staff appropriately for a busy fundraiser. Your staff is doing the very best they can it is painful to watch them struggle Personally, I placed an online order at 6pm. I was here at 6:30. They started building my order at 6:43. At 6:45 I was told you were out of sweet fire for the night. I picked another entree. At 6;50 I was asked if I wanted to wait 10 minutes for my teriyaki chicken. There are limited entree choices for me to replace it with. I am a frustrated customer. Sigh 7:05 still waiting. Food in a bag not even under the lights for 15 minutes now. read more

Failed food place! Needs new something idk what but something about this panda that no one gets orders right ??

Wow this place should have zero stars . No customer service . Can't get a order correct to save their life . Messy bag messy sloppy food serves cold . I'm very dissatisfied with this location read more

This place sucks!!! I have given it several tries and everytime they blow it! Last straw was when I ordered a 2 plates both were wrong so when I got home I called and asked if I could come get my correct order explained i was there less then 10 minutes prior and because they didn't give me a receipt they told me there's nothing they could do but I could buy more items if I liked!! Again this Place SUCKS!!!!!! Wish I could give 0 stars read more

I went to get a 2 entree plate and ordered broccoli beef, the lady told me "just to let you know there's not much beef in it mostly broccoli" I was like okkk?? Well can you guys add more beef to it and she said no! Very rude will not be returning I rather drive to atwater instead. read more

I won't even give them a star ordered thru Door Dash looked at my order it said delivered but I had received nothing called the phone number they tried to call the driver but didn't answer nothing but apologizes said they would refund my money could take 7 days did not offer me anything else a coupon free order of food a discount nothing I will never order or eat at a Panda Express again I hope whoever reads this does the same they are making 15 an hour now you would think they could get the order right read more

I would avoid at night. I picked up food around 9 and it gave me a really bad stomachache the next morning. Had to come back home from work.

So this is the 2nd time this week I go to panda Monday there were out of sweet fire chicken and today they were out of fried rice. Like really do you have a grocery store a few feet away from you this place is ridiculous just drive the extra miles and go to at water or Turlock do not stop here ZERO stars read more

Panda Express - Panda disappoints again. Did they run out of food again - Chinese Near Me - Livingston, California

Horrible is all I can say I have given them numerous chances but ever time they disappoint me ! Portions are less then any other Panda and you can't even tell witch plate is witch looks like the food has been cooked days before . Some of the meet will be dried out and some will be rare , don't even have words about the chow main and the rice ! so sad that Atwater would allow this to happen !!!!! read more

Every time I come to this location I'm disappointed; food quality isn't good, food is room temperature, portion size for the $ isn't worth it. I've come here a few times on my lunch and refuse to come anymore, I drive to the next town instead; better quality food, portions are better, the customer service is far greater! Today (mid afternoon), I came here (even went inside; prior disappointments were through the drive thru) and I was even more disappointed-she gave me "4" pieces of meat in my son's kids meal and my 2 choice meal looked like a bowl, she was rude and the food again was room temperature - NEVER returning, not even for convenience! read more

Double check your order before you leave the drive thru - the manager & crew members will be hostile & unhelpful on the phone if you call them 10 minutes later to report a problem and likely will only offer a replacement for the incorrect item even if you aren't going to eat the meal you received. This location needs a customer service training class. read more

Food is ok but the little things really lacking. Not one ice cube in the medium drink. It was iced tea so it was lukewarm. No sauces in the bag. No fortune cookie. I'll drive to Atwater next time. read more

Great food this was the best Chinese food we have had in a long time. Great service and no lines they took our order right away.

This is the worst Panda Express I have been to. Been dealing with horrible customer service and food since this place has opened . First time chicken was under cooked, this time it was burnt to taste like charcoal. They need to get rid there GM for this location or close this place down. read more

Food was ok. Not as good as other Panda's I have been to. Service was not good. Had to wait for 10 minutes for someone to assist us with ordering. No greeting. When I asked if the Orange Chicken was spicy the guy told me it varies - sometimes spicy and other times not. When we finally made it to the register and paid for our meal, I had to ask for fortune cookies before taking our tray away. read more

Management is a fail at this location. The food is horrible. Food is cold and hard. Always make you park to wait for food while in drive thru. I asked why and the associate said because we have to have you out of drive thru in less then 3 mins. No I said I'll wait right here, at which they threaten to cancel my order if I don't want to park. So I stayed parked waiting for food for 16mins!!! No utensils or fortune cookies with order. After driving back for them Associate states in California it's against the law to put utensils in bag. And said I was supposed to scan the QR code with my camera while driving!! Which is also against the law in California. read more

I normally stray away from this location due to poor customer service and always running out of an item (never experience this at other locations). I could not resist so i entered the drive through. I ordered a plate (2 entrees and a side). The female on the intercom precedes to cut me off and asks me for my side first. The words written on the menu says 2 entrees & a side not a side and 2 entrees which is why i said orange chicken first(then got rudely cut off). Okay no biggie so i move to the window. She snatches my card and closes the window. Re opens it and quickly hands me my card and order (utters a forced thank you) and closes the window. Did not even give me time to express my issue. I was the only vehicle in the drive thru. I am native to livingston and do not appreciate poor servicing businesses to run in my town. I will be informing my peers to not visit this location. The overall reviews for this panda justifies my opinion. I should have stuck to my word and not have returned. Occurance: 10-22-18 12:15pm read more
