The staff here is GREAT! They are always so kind and food is always on point. Fast and easy, but great vibes.

I tried to leave a survey on the panda survey but it didn't let me highlight Anita the cashier at the time, she had great customer service and helped accommodate us, and was super nice about recommending additional items. I don't frequrnet this location often but I will be back the staff from front to back was great! read more

This is my first time ordering from this Panda Express Restaurant location. I ordered one quantity of Vegetable Fried Rice, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken , and one Fried Apple Pie Roll and one Chicken Egg Roll. My total purchase was $22.00. I picked up this Chinese food and then I drove back to my home to my Oceana Condominium at 4 p.m. I had to re-heat my food in my microwave oven when I arrived home. Afterwards, I took bites of this sliced Teriyaki Chicken. This meat was very tender and lightly sweetened with Teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki Chicken is my favorite dish I usually order first before anything else. The Vegetable Fried Rice was very tasty! And my dessert was the one Fried Apple Pie Roll was very crispy and the apples were very sweet and delicious. Their customer service was fast and friendly to me. read more

Panda is a fast food chain, food is good and as expected What prompted me to write this 5 star review is for the service I received, specifically from Anna. I was solo parenting, and decided to grab dinner here with my toddler and baby. One hand on toddler, one arm carrying baby. After paying for food, Anna, without me even saying a word, grabbed my tray and asked where I was sitting so she can bring it there for me. My son had a nose bleed. As I was tending to him at the table, she came back with a make shift ice pack. Again, without me saying anything. Thank you Anna. You saw I needed help, and jumped in before I could even ask for help. 5 star service read more

Panda is a quick go to. Always fresh & delicious! Close location, friendly & plenty of seating.

I lost my receipt so I am reviewing Panda Express here instead. This is the Panda on Oceanside blvd and College. First off I am totally pleased to say that this Panda is a very well run and organized place. Natalie was filling orders and Avia was ringing them up. It was quite busy at lunch time but these to young ladies went to task and managed all who came in through the doors. I had to wait a couple minutes for a entree to get done cooking and I got to watch these two go to work. VERY efficient. Thank you girls for being dedicated to doing a GREAT job andsmiling the whole time. 10 stars read more

Walked in and out within 3 minutes. Staff were friendly even with online orders. Pepper steak was definitely worth the extra $1.50 read more

Panda Express - Plate with green bean chicken and pepper steak - Chinese Near Me - Oceanside, California

One of my favorite locations! The treys are usually filled, employees are pleasant & professional especially the Manger , which I forget his name is a real gentleman and attentive to his customers! Two request to management I realize you changed to Coke products but you need to add the Fuze Raspberry tea... a must! Also when are you going to provide a senior discount? It's time to get with the program! Thanks! read more

I arrived at noon. Parking was easy. Walked in and placed my order The young man dishing out the food handed me a nice size orange chicken and a nice size of teriyaki chicken some locations like the camp on Orange chicken not this guy and he gave me more rice and I could ever eat Went to the cashier she was very friendly. I asked for assistance as I'm new to their app. She walked me through. It got my points paid and without the door this is my favorite panda express in my neighborhood. There are a few but this particular location great service great food read more

Panda Express - Orange chicken , teriyaki chicken and white rice - Chinese Near Me - Oceanside, California

Wife & I had lunch here on Sunday, the 28th. Restaurant was busy. The manager, Dennis Vu, took our order. Dennis was super friendly, professional, apologized for the (very short) delay in taking our order. We told him it was hardly a delay at all, and thanked him for being so professional and attentive. The female cashier was very helpful in helping us with getting our points from the Panda Express app. She also offered my wife and I free samples of some special drinks they were featuring. The food we had was hot, fresh, and delicious. After our meal, we enthusiastically thanked Dennis for his hospitality and professionalism, and praised him for his excellent customer service. We've never had a bad experience at this location. But because of manager Dennis going above and beyond for us, we wanted to recognize him and his staff in this review of his restaurant. We will be back. Highly recommended. read more

I bought food tonight from panda express and brought it home for the wife and I. We got different dishes, we both got food poisoning severely. I will never go there again and I used to eat there all the time. I am puking as I'm writing this! read more

The food here is excellent. The service needs to improve by a lot. The young gentleman who took my order was good but when it was passed down for the teriyaki to be cut the lady who handled it took her time, incorrectly charged me. She's the one who cut the teriyaki chicken but forgot to charge? How does that make sense? She took her time that the line extended to near the entrance! I even donated out of good will and she incorrectly charged me so tax got me twice. Unbelievable. I'll try to avoid this location as much as possible. read more

Right when we walked in there was a line of customers. I was about to walk out. The line started to move forward quickly. Brenda R. and her team handled everything so smoothly. Food was done quickly and was amazing. Fast and amazing service from the team. read more

Came here around 8:30 pm and Aleena gave such a great customer service that I have to give her a compliment. Service with a smile and that is so nice to see. read more

Great food fresh and nice portions Staff is very friendly place is clean and food is always stalked up

The cashier was very helpful. He pulled up my rewards and applied it to my order. Asked if I needed chili and soy sauce. Then bagged everything and handed it to me. Always had a smile on his face! read more

I always have an amazing experience at Panda, the staff are always super friendly and nice, and food is always fresh. Definitely always my go to when i'm hungry! read more

Came in right as scheduled to be open, they were ready to serve as they continued to prepare the rest of the menu for the morning-! Brenda was absolutely wonderful, professional and friendly not only to myself but the other customers ahead of me. Started of my day very well and grateful to those serving here. Thank you!! read more

Panda Express - Build Your Own Bigger Plate - 1 Full Side. Beef and Broccoli, Black Pepper chicken and Honey Walnut Shrimp. Rations and Medium Soft Drink. - Chinese Near Me - Oceanside, California

Good food. Enjoy going there from time to time and ordering their Orange chicken. Friendly stay and they helped my wife to fix her app.. That was awesome. read more

I'm only commenting on the new vegan option. The beyond orange chicken is amazing! My hubby and I really enjoyed the Beyond Orange Chicken and Chow Mein which are vegan friendly. I hope this is a permanent menu item because it's sooo good. I haven't been to Panda Express for over 7 years, since before going vegan. It's nice to have a local vegan friendly option for one of my former favorite dishes! I hope they bring on more vegan friendly options. read more

Panda Express - Beyond Orange Chicken and chow me in noodles - Chinese Near Me - Oceanside, California

Regular customer but the honey walnut shrimp gave me severe food poisoning and had me into the hospital for not being fully cooked. If management refuses to make this right they will have lost a life long customer. read more

The restaurant was packed and the team was getting hit hard with both online orders and walk ins. Line out the door and long line for the online orders. Saloma and Neth handled the pressure and chaos amazingly. Very impressive. read more

Brenda is so sweet, she always provides service that's above and beyond. Food is always delicious, appropriate portions, and the employees will even come to the table and ask if you need anything when you dine in. read more

Not only is the place clean, the staff is friendly and the manager is very nice. The food is probably my favorite of all the local locations, the portions are good and the Waltons are always well fried! read more

I went to this panda and ordered white rice with orange chicken. When she was putting in the orange chicken I noticed she put fried rice in my plate not white rice. I'm not much of a Karen however yall only have three side options. White rice, fried rice and chow mein. Then when I told the young lady that she did it wrong she gave me a dirty look. Then proceeded to only scoop out a portion of the fried rice. What if I was allergic to soy sauce? What if I was allergic to some of the certain vegetables? She then placed the white rice on top of the fried rice. In my head I'm thinking oh she'll replace the plate especially since youre a food restaurant. But no she didn't. Then i proceeded to scoop out the fried rice in the parking lot. I was left with only half of white rice for a plate. read more

The staff is very friendly. Most of the tables were dirty, we had to find the least dirty table to sit at. I was so excited because I actually got more than 3 pieces of meat in each scoop. Then I started eating only to find a hair in my green bean chicken. I asked for a replacement plate. They were very nice about it, but this time I got pretty much 98% veggies, barely any meat. After trying to each as much broccoli and green beans as I could, I was still left hungry. read more

I'm don't usually write reviews for Fast Casual places, but this Panda is among the best locations I've been to. Extremely clean, food was fresh & delicious , staff (especially Brenda) was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stop here again. read more

Dear Panda Express, what can I say other than your staff and food was awesome tonight! I came to this restaurant after having a negative situation with another eating establishment earlier this evening where the food was a mess...I felt defeated and sad along with being really hungry and decided to try my luck at this restaurant...boy am I glad I did! My food was made fresh, hot, and delicious! I ordered the two item combo with double veggies, teriyaki chicken, and green bean chicken. Very yummy, and the portions were huge! The staff was very kind on top of it. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant! read more

Service was helpful but they didn't seem to have enough workers. Was waiting for approximately 20 minutes for chicken though there was enough in the bowl. Mind you there are only 2 people behind me. The environment was friendly but the fact I had to wait was a disappointment read more

You would think for a food place that they would have everything prepared, but no they took forever. I had to wait over 20 minutes just for chicken to be done. I've had issues with this location before but this was just ridiculous. The customer service was 0 stars for me. read more

I think people expect more from a fast food Chinese place than they promise. I've eaten at this place several times. I find the staff to be very friendly and helpful. On two occasions I've had to wait for an item to be cooked, they gave me a free soft drink for my inconvenience. The items were in the container, but not fresh. Very good service. The food has always been tasty, the facility very clean and the service great. Update. I have been here several times since the review. It is still the same. Only what strikes me is the staff are consistently friendly and very service oriented. I really feel good about going here. The Franchisee and Management should be very proud of the staff. read more

I wish I would have read the reviews first do not go here unless you want food poisoning it is so bad cold noodles mushy food nothing was too temperature I'm sure it was in the danger zone I don't know why the health department does not shut this place down it was disgusting I was sick the whole next day If there was a negative I would pick the most negative I could pick it was just probably the worst place I've ever been read more

I'm so completely tired of bad service being blamed on being "SHORT STAFFED" I have been to this restaurant three times walking out all three times! 1st was at about 8 pm with almost no choices left being told sorry? We are short staffed! 2nd plenty of selection to have dining room closed due to being short staffed? 3 rd was to get behind a very large order 10 plates! There was one guy filling the order with 4 employees wondering around including the female manager! I stood there almost in amazement for 10 minutes I timed it. I was never acknowledged and nobody was helping the one working guy! He should be asking for help? The most important part was a manager who values her time more than mine? But when I asked to speak to the manager the young guy that was working completely copped an attitude! I was about to complain to the manager that he was the only one working as a compliment but then he messed that up? The manager was so full of apologizing and mentioned being short staffed? But, what she is missing is doing what management should be doing? Managing the restaurant! That includes making sure all of the employees are helping and being involved! Moral of the story! Manager training? Pay the manager to manage, not just unlock and lock the door? read more

It was just after 7pm on a Sunday and we were heading home from an unsuccessful trip to the local casinos. We were still an hour and a half from home and wanted to grab a quick bite and find a clean restroom. We thought it would be fastest to find a McDonald's and do both. But, the two we found both had already locked their dining rooms...7pm on a Sunday... So on our way back towards the freeway, we saw this Panda Express and a line of people inside. We stopped and low and behold, the dining area was open. We stood in line (with about 5 parties in front of us) and waited to order. They had a Subway style service, you approach the counter and tell them what you want and they pack it for you. It was pretty quick given that people have to decide between about a dozen different items. You first have to decide if you want a one item, two item or three item container. Then, do you want greens, or rice, or low mien? You next pick your main food item, or items and then they walk you to the cash register. Extras like egg rolls and drinks are placed along the way. Our server was extremely friendly and had a heavy hand when it came to serving sizes. Both of our orders were overflowing with food and it was hot and tasty. We ate in the dining room which was a bit cold for both of us. They must have either had the AC on high or the heater wasn't working as it was cold outside. They also have two unisex bathroom which were clean and ready for use. So it is now on our list of places to possibly stop on the way home, whether or not we happen to win. Hope you have a positive experience as well and...enjoy!!! read more

Worst Panda Express that I have ever visited. The place was so filthy that it looked like a million people ran their hands down the glass door and no one ever cleaned it. (And that is during COVID!) I asked for vegetables with my entree and received a load of cabbage instead of a mix. That will be the last time I visit this location. read more

Brenda was the literal best! Such a hard worker and extremely kind even when the restaurant was super busy! Would come here again just for Brenda!!! read more

All I have to say/recommend is to CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE if you're doing online ordering. They've gotten ours wrong so many times! My poor husband keeps forgetting the hard lesson he learns every time. Otherwise, it tastes like Panda if you're looking for Panda. read more

Very disappointed in the quality of the service and food at this establishment. Went there for a to go order for my wife and I. Once we returned home and began eating our food we noticed there was mold in our super greens and broccoli. Had to drive back to this location in hopes of them taking our food back and receiving a refund. Employees at this location denied that it is mold, which I can tell when vegetables are no longer fresh and safe to eat, said that their wok that they cook food in does this to their food, and weren't willing to do a refund. I have also eaten at this location multiple times and never had this issue with their wok before. I know that black specks on broccoli is mold as I see often on produce at supermarkets or when I leave it in my fridge too long. Ending up leaving frustrated and wasting $21.22 on food we were not able to eat. Thank you Panda Express. read more
