    This lady

    I have rude server today. So rude .After order food I ask for restroom passcode she pretended not hear me I have to come 3 times to cashier right in front of her face. The rude lady in this p

    WORST experience ive ever had at this panda express. I was literally so determined I made a yelp account on my school chromebook. I placed my order and waited 20 MINUTES because these workers cant read. I went up three times to the lady and asked for my name. all times she didnt bother to look for my name and kept saying it would almost be out. after waiting until the point I was almost late to class. As a last resort my friend walked up to the front and said my name and she actually looked that time for my order and found it. since it had been ready and waiting for the past 18 minutes. terrible service I hope that lady never servers me again.

    Well, I thought that I ordered my food at the Irvine location at it turned out it was Mission Viejo. I was already about an hour late for pickup before I called Mission Viejo Panda Express to let them know. Raymond picked up the phone. I told him I was running late and he told me my food was sitting out for about an hour and OFFERED to ask the kitchen to remake the food for me. I gladly thanked him and God blessed him for his kindness and thoughtfulness. He asked about how long I would take before I arrived. I told him about 20 minutes and he said he would have them remake it in about 15 minutes. I ended up getting there after about 27 minutes and he was actually the one who helped me when I walked up to the Pick-Up counter. Haha, I saw his name tag and said, "Hey Raymond it's Frankie!" He laughed and smiled and handed me my food while saying, "It's still nice and fresh for you". I God blessed him and thanked him again. He was very kind and I'm so glad he and the kitchen and Panda Express went out of their way to not only make my order but keep it warm for me. And the food?? 5 out of 5!! The Orange Kitchen with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken over chow mein?? My tastebuds are cluckin haha!!! I'm so glad I tried Panda Express in Mission Viejo for the first time! I'm looking forward to trying a NEW dish next time!!

    2 item plate

    I placed an online order for one 2 entree plate and one 3 entree plate. the entrees where halfway down for an $11 & $13 plate. first time i have this issue at a panda. for the most part they give a decent amount. place looks like it gets quite busy but that shouldn't be a problem on serving right.

    The green bean chicken had soggy overcooked green beans, barely any chicken that was really dry and stale.

    I'm so sad and disheartened. Given these dishes are part of a menu that is cooked so often, they should nail it everytime. It's so inconsistent, I feel like ordering for delivery the food is always horrible compared to walking in and getting in line. I'm sure no one cares, there's no quality control either. Oh well, maybe better luck next time I guess.

    I mobile ordered and came when my order was ready. I was so excited to eat this at home only to find my order was wrong. :( I'll still eat it but I wish I got my broccoli beef.

    Life is too short for bad Chinese food. I know this, and yet I still ordered food to go from here the other day. Unfortunately I can't comment on the service or ambiance, as hubby picked up our food to go. I ordered the orange chicken with 1/2 chow mein and 1/2 rice. First of all, the orange chicken was not orange and nor did it taste like orange chicken that I've had from other Chinese restaurants. The worst part is that I could barely taste the chicken. All I could really taste was the fried chicken skin and the glazed sauce on it. The chow mein was also weak. It was basically noods with cabbage. And the rice was unfortunately dry. I've learned my lesson and will not grub on bad Chinese food again.

    This is all the meat they gave me that's crazy they act like it's coming out their check never going back to this place

    Taco Bell MESSED UP this store. I previously gave 5 stars...manager Jorge is awesome and some of…read morethe employees are pretty good, whereas the rest were so so. But, since their construction this place has gone way down hill. A lot of newer employees it seems, but thats no excuse. Food amounts are different each time, taco with barely any meat, pinto and cheese with about half the amount as before, and more issues... It does not seem that Taco Bell reduced sizes as sometimes everything is fine. BUT, the biggest issue is the now heavily long wait times. Drive thru wait time has become incredibly long and in store wait time is now also really bad. Along with that the newer employees really suck, bad. Taco Bell made a bad choice removing the soda machine. Now, you cant get your drink before your order is ready, and more important, they never have your drink made when your order is ready. Kids cant go get their own water. Taco Bell has basically caused a lot more work for their employees. I'll 100% update this review if it gets better, but so far it has not. If for some reason i have to go to this location and eat in store, i will most likely be ordering in drive thru then taking the food inside as the drive thru wait time is still better than in store, even though the drive thru is no longer fast.

    On April 10th, 2026 at 8:48 PM, I had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience that I…read morefeel others should be aware of. I accidentally placed an order at this Subway location while I was no longer in the area. I actually intended to order from a Santa Ana location instead. As soon as I realized the mistake, I immediately tried to correct it because I could not proceed with the order. I called the store several times and even left a message, but never received any response. Despite that, the order was still prepared anyway, with no attempt to contact me or confirm anything. A simple phone call could have prevented this entire situation, which makes the lack of communication even more frustrating. That day, I did not have any other food options, and this order was supposed to be my only solution for the day, which made the situation even more stressful. I also have call logs that clearly show my attempts to reach the store, which confirms I made multiple good faith efforts to resolve the issue immediately. To make it worse, the only communication I received was on April 14th, 2026, stating I would receive a 30 percent discount that expires tomorrow. However, this is not helpful at all since I currently do not have the funds available to use it. On top of everything, I was told I would not receive a refund or even my points back, which feels completely unreasonable given that I acted right away to fix the mistake. Overall, I am very disappointed with how this was handled and the lack of basic communication. I will be disputing the charge with my bank, and I hope others do not experience the same lack of responsiveness.

Food was great, along with the super spicy salsa and salsa verde. Second round for the guys included 3 tacos (carnitas, barbacoa, al pastor) and loaded fries with barbacoa. I would continue to support this great business. As we dined in, we observed their great customer service as well. They treat everyone cordially like family. They remember their regulars' names and orders. A couple kids came in to show their good report cards so they could get free treats (they were so polite and respectful kids - looked like they were in junior high). Oh, they mentioned to a customer that today is their 2-year anniversary. We'll be back to support them!
