This place literally need to hire new people or just close the whole place down how the hell are you going to close 2 hours early I understand you need to clean up the place but 2 hours?!?!? All there lights are on the "drive thru open" sign was on like come on dude I get there at 8 and because the website says you guys close at 10 but I guess not say you guys close at 9 so you have time to close such a waste of my time my gas and everything I will never come back her and I love panda but clearly this one is the worst only having a 2 star rating that's honestly really disappointing all I can recommend is if you want panda never and I mean never go here read more

Honestly i'm going to do a 5 star for the morning crew. If you want fresh quality food go in the morning when Marissa and marisol are there. Julieta has the best service she's so sweet and friendly. read more

It was okay. I had made an order the other day and it was Orange chicken, white rice, chowmein, and teriyaki chicken. It came back to me with the normal rice, walnut chicken, and mushroom chicken. The only good part was it came back with chowmein which was the only thing it came back with that I ordered. I am also allergic to walnuts. The lady that took our order was also very rude. She kept closing GB the window on us while we were talking to her. read more

The cook at this location is god damn fire I'd take her out on a ride any time ‍the service is always great

I decided to try out this location as opposed to the one on Daniels Street. I was very disappointed when I came home and opened my box of honey walnut shrimp... Come on! They already charge the 'premium' price, at least fill up the box! Needless to say my meal started on a low point =/ I guess I must add the box of chowmein was nicely served. I soon as I figure out how to upload the picture here I will show you the box of food. read more

Panda Express - Fill up the box!!! What a rip off! - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

Pros -nothing Cons -my food was incorrect (even though I repeated my order 3 times) -customer service is awful -food quality poor UPDATE After receiving a gift card from management to return, our experience was much better. Food was correct and quality was on point. Customer service was also quick and efficient. read more

This is a picture of the bowl I got today. 3 oz of chicken, 3 pieces of broccoli and some brown rice. When I handed it back to the lady in the drive through, she said the supervisor is there and making them short all the guests. Really? read more

Lady taking order was rushing me hecka, food was alright but Beijing beef was t even spicy like at all, and they didn't give me or my mom our fortune cookies :/ still was good but not great read more

I've been here before during the dinner rush but have never been treated so rudely. Girl behind the cash register , Raquel walked away when it was my turn to get rung up totally ignoring the long line right in front of her proceed to go hug one of the other workers and then go visit the lady who was working the drive thru stand and talk to her . This is very bad customer service being she had many people waiting to get their food. I will think twice next time read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

I like Panda's food fine, but I am never coming to this location again. I know they're busy, but without fail, every time I go, something is forgotten. Chicken teriyaki with no teriyaki sauce to put on the dang chicken. Ask for soy sauce and I get home to see it's chili sauce. No pot sticker sauce for pot stickers. No sweet n sour for the egg rolls or spring rolls. The last straw was when I ordered spring rolls - which you have to pay for, unlike the sauces - and there were no spring rolls when I got home with all the food for my family. I am done with this location. I've given them chance after chance after chance, mostly because I understand how busy they are, I have worked in customer service and understand how hectic it can be, and I can get over a minor inconvenience of forgotten complimentary sauces. But when you forget something I paid for, part of my dang order, that's it. Sorry, but I would rather pay more to get some authentic Chinese from a smaller local business. They may not have Panda's signature orange chicken or honey walnut shrimp, but I can deal. read more

Good place but $10.30 a plate and the employees portion out the food like crazy. There is times I went inside ordered rice with supergreens and they barley gave me any rice. There is also times where I ordered teriyaki chicken and they only gave me 4 pieces I asked for more and they said are you going to pay extra read more

Customer service is above and beyond! Giani and Basia helped me jump my car battery since it died while we were eating safely in the parking lot. They didn't hesitate to help and when I offered to pay them they just asked for a review. I will be coming back to this location a lot more! read more

Just came through the drive through, they weren't too busy but our toddler was sleeping. It's been a long day and my husband and I are starving so we go to panda. Drive thru was empty, waited at the window for 10min for our food. The wait wasn't horrible but we got home and all three plates had very little food in them, I'm pregnant we were all starving and we got the same amount as a kids meal.. read more

Panda Express - Where is the food? - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

Beware the PANDA on airport ave, the cashier. Was acting like we where, buying to much food. Made my wife uncomfortable. We spent over 45.00 dollars in food. Good help is hard to find, I guess. Other wise the food was great. read more

Very nasty and dirty place. Food all over several tables and food all over the floor when I told the front counter lady she didn't care read more

Panda Express - Nasty dirty and in kept - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

Was so craving some Panda & it's near the hotel so bonus! Then as we're ordering the drive-thru gal comes and dumps a container of chow mein into the steam table pan with the fresh stuff they just served us. I asked if that's common practice cuz how long had that been at the drive-thru? Another worker, not who was helping us, says "yes it is. Happens all the time". We left without finishing ordering... that's just gross, never want my fresh food mixed with who knows how old food. read more

I really love the food at Panda Express but this specific location is terrible, I eat there every week few times through the drive thru, every second order they get it wrong, mix up white rice with fried rice and missing items a bunch of times. Update: they have noticeably improved in those aspects I really appreciate that read more

I gave them 5 stars for how polite and hardworking the staff was. In the period of COVID they have allowed outdoor dining, closed indoor dining, social distancing enforced, brought out hand sanitizers, enforced customers wearing mask, staff are masked and gloved. The food is the same as other Panda Express and is pretty good for fast food Chinese. The restaurant was clean. The order was timely. I would go back. read more

Ordered my food and the pick up time said it would be done at 145pm. I showed up a few minutes earlier than that and even though there was not a huge line the lady said I would have to wait until 145 to pick it up. But I'm standing here now and I already paid! It would've been much better service if she had said hey let me start that for you after I finishing helping this customer. At least that I would understand... Edit* just went back inside and watched the same girl make herself a plate of food before making mine.... awesome read more

I went into Panda Express today for lunch and when I get to order the guy behind the counter is not only rude but I felt extremely rushed. There was no one behind me, and only two people ahead of me ready to pay. I asked for honey walnut shrimp and he put maybe 4 pieces on my bowl, so I asked if I could have more and he rolled his eyes and put more in a side box with a big attitude. I get up to the register and the cashier asked --with attitude--- do you want sauce or no? I said no thank you. She continued to give me my total, which was way more then I thought it would be and I asked why and again with the eye rolling she tries to explain why, which honestly it needs to be posted if some food will be more than others. It's ridiculous. Needless to say, with the awful service and disrespect I had with this location, I will never come back. Good job at loosing a customer! read more

I love Panda Express's chow mien and Beijing beef, but when I came here today "Gabby" barely filled the bowl up of chow mien. When I asked for more she told me that instead I could get the chow mien a la cart. She didn't even fill it to the top all the way! I love their food but I am very disappointed with their employees and their service. Panda Express next time hire someone with respect and manners. read more

Panda Express - Cockroach - Chinese Near Me - Manteca, California

I've to this place a few times but this time was the worst ever. First we had to wait for about 30 minute to order and get our food. We got there at 7:45 and they ran out of chow mein at first they said they needed to cut more vegetables and it would take 20 minutes. 20 minutes later they said they can't make any more because they ran out of vegetables. There were about 6 employees working 2 were cooking and only one filled the orders and cashier in the restaurant. it seemed like the others were working the drive through but apparently not since this irate women came in screaming at them to move the drive thru. apparently she was in the drive thru so long that she wanted to leave but couldn't get out. The food was average but the service was the worst i've ever experienced. won't be going back! read more

We love our Panda Express, and it's probably due to the convenience of this location that has made Panda a fast food institution for our family. This spot is a perfect halfway point between the Bay Area and the Sierra Nevada's and thus is the perfect dinner or lunch spot to break up the a four hour drive. The food is fresh and the place is spotless. My recommendation is to order whatever comes off the stove most recently, as that will mix things up for you, and also guarantee that the food is tasty and fresh. Yum. Panda. read more

I love the food here, I always get the 2 entree chow mein, orange chicken, and Beijing beef mmmmmm so good! After you buy something, if you go to their website and fill out the survey you get a code for a free entree with any 2 entree plate, awesome deal! read more

I watched a woman on the food line dump someone's order that had been sitting back into the food after it was all mixed in a plater and ready to go. Just prepared or not that's disgusting. Then when we mentioned it, they blew us off like it was nothing. read more

This place is horrible in the drive through. They are so worried about asking you what else you want to order they don't pay attention to what you are actually ordering. Make sure you check your bag before you leave because lord knows you never get sweet and sour with your egg rolls unless you make them hand it to you. read more

We have been to several Pandas, but this one is different. It's several years old but they keep it looking brand new. Extremely clean, the food is extremely fresh, and the staff is great. Being new in town, we would love to explore some other Chinese places, but we keep coming back here for the great staff and fresh food. read more

Menteca is a junction town where many people from out of town drop by for a quick snap on their way. Behind the shopping center, there's an alley that looks like a fast food outlet. Whatever you want, they got it. I named this particular area "foam container heaven". When I was passing by semi crowded In-N-Out burger, I found panda express right next to their business. Chinese buffet would be my last option when it comes to choosing a fast food restaurant, but Panda is much more than an ordinary Chinese buffet. I'd actually rate them higher than most of nation-wide hamburger chain stores. Without any hesitation, I stepped in to get blasted with a heavy weight load of greetings from the employees. Those young guys were the most delightful people I've seen behind the counter in a long time. They made my day and great supper too. Their prices/portions were a bit more reasonable than SF locations. Food was equally good and well prepared. I think they've got a good manager as well as employees. I'd definitely return should there be a chance to go nearby. read more

So I decided not cook today and went to Panda Express...big mistake first of all I asked the cashier to please repeat my order and she did but she spoke so fast that I couldn't even tell if my order was correct any way I once again told her what I wanted and she interrupted me halfway cuz supposedly she cought what she had missed on my order she seemed very rude like she just wanted me to hurry up and leave well I get home and half of my order is wrong but in the receipt everything looked correct but i didn't want to go back so we just had whatever they served the bad part is that my food looked like it was sitting on the trays for so long all the veggies were very soggy never going back to this location their food is a little pricey and to get some rude customer service and shity soggy food no thanks.. read more

First off I'd like to start off by saying that I'm no the type of person to ever complain about service , but today was over the top I pull in to the drive through menu to order food, I say hello 3-5 times no response I proceed to drive up to the window thinking to myself "maybe there busy or possibly issues with there communication system" not one person in sight through the window . As soon as I'm pulling out I see all of the employees sitting down at one of the tables by the front door. Chatting laughing and having a good time . Very unprofessional I get it I'm shur they are eager to get home but that is just plain ridiculous . It was 30minutes til 10:30pm im very disappointed with the situation. read more

I'm a vegetarian and I only eat the chow mein/Spring Rolls/Veggies. It's extremely frustrating when you go to a place to order something on the menu and they don't have it and can't make more! My husband and I are on the night shift and sometimes come late and if it's close to closing We go thru the drive thru. In the past my above Items have always been made if they were out. Went through the drive thru and they said all the cookers were turned off and couldn't make any of that. Just so frustrating when I know they can make it! I even called 10 min. Before my husband got there so they could cook it fresh and Nope!! When it's late and ur options are already Limited due to not eating meat and you drive 20 min out of town for them not to have what's on their menu! Fun fact to add: My debit card was used at this location (from someone copying my card) and I got a text immediately when the transaction went thru and the people that stole my debit were sitting in their dining room eating on my dime. I was too far at the time or I would have drove to The restaurant myself! But Panda was absolutely no help and did not care someone just paid with my card! It wasn't a delayed thing. Someone paid it immediately sent me a text alert when I called it was literally the last person at their register! Could have easily caught them! read more

The food was good. The serving sizes better than I expected. The prices are not too bad. The service has been hit or miss. I have had great and terrible, so it does depend on who you get. My only real complaint with this restaurant is that everything is pre-prepared. So if you have a food allergy, you may be tough out of luck for one or more of their dishes. read more

0 stars Cockroach in my food Manteca Panda Express on Hulsey Way!!! Today at about noon me and my girlfriend went to get lunch after church at panda express. When we arrived we decided to go through the drive thru we waited 15 min to even get our order taken and when we pulled up to take our order she asked us to wait another 5 min. She repeated herself a handful of times on what I wanted to order and we were nice and just pulled forward after. We ordered honey walnut shrimp and it had another 5 min wait so we parked in front and waited for her to come out . She came out and gave us our food and we went on our way. When we arrived home we opened our food to dig in and right on top of my food drenched in orange chicken sauce was a medium sized cockroach. I couldn't believe it. I was so disgusted and my girlfriend was too she didn't even bother to eat hers after seeing it ! We got right in the car and went down to speak to a manager. When we walked in there was a huge line and being as nice as my girlfriend is she didn't wanna make a huge scene and make other costumers sick she walked over to the lady working the cash register and asked for a manger. When he came over to us he asked how can he help us . I said we just went to the drive thru and there is a cockroach in our food . We had the food with us and showed him and he looked at us and said are you sure ? Almost as if he didn't believe us and wasn't going to comp us for it . I started to get angry but he realized it was no joke and asked if he can take the box away as more people were starting to notice ! He comped us for our meal but it takes 2 days to go through:/ I will never be eating there again . Manteca Panda Express by home depo. Stay away from orange chicken . I can't believe it was so dirty and the cockroach was drowning in sauce. , read more

Disappointed again and I keep going back since it's the closets one near me. Went though the drive thru and I said my order pretty clear and the girl would let me finish my order first before cutting me off then my order would've been good had to get off and go inside to get one more thing that they missed, got home open the food and they really barley give you anything got orange chicken and there is only like 5 pieces in it like tf. read more

Good place to eat if it's late and no time to cook. Kids love it and plenty of food to go around. Fresh and good prices. Will be back again. Floors were a bit sticky. Could be cleaner.... but plenty of seating available. read more

This location is managed awfully. They never have food ready and they always have you pull around and park when ordering at the drive-thru. They have TWICE forgot about my order while waiting out front. The first time I waited twenty minutes out front and went inside where they were completely clueless when I showed them the receipt. I tried again two months later and the same thing happened. The management is an embarrassment and I feel bad for the clueless employees. read more

Normally love Panda but this location is by far the worst I've ever been to. Upon entering there was a long line; which normally isn't a big deal but can be very telling about the service. When it was my turn the Manager, Marisa, quickly makes my food then sets it aside; letting two other customers pass. She then grabbed another persons bowl, insisting it was mine, and cutting off all my attempts to tell her it wasn't. They finally get around to making me a new bowl, and the Orange Chicken was like... soft and mushy. They also forgot to give my buddy his receipt, and didn't honor their free meal policy for doing so. Marisa was very rude. read more

I ordered a large Dr Pepper they forgot to give it to me I had to ask for it. And then when I asked for they didn't give me a straw so I had to wait for them to open the window back up get my straw. And then when I got my straw I took a sip of my Dr Pepper and it taste like carbonated water read more

I never leave review , and I'm very upset about what happened last night at this location. I was parked along with five other cars that came before me in the drive thru for my order. I had one plate and I sat parked for a little over 35 minutes. When I finally sent my husband inside , he asked for a refund. They told him the could not refund him at the moment because none of the seven employees knew how to do it. I find this very hard to believe because they were 20 minutes away from closing. They offered my husband something else to eat instead of a refund but that he would still have to wait. What really bothered me was that one employee was snacking on the meat as another employee was cutting it! read more
