My go to combo is always Beijing beef and orange chicken with fried rice. You can never go wrong. I also love opening up the fortune cookie and believing what it says is the best part. Today mine said "An exciting new friendship will get you out of your rut." I like the cafeteria style service of this place. It's fast food and ready to eat as soon as you're served. I've never had a bad experience. read more

I have to rate my overall experience today a 5-star. It's been awhile since going to a Panda Express and the food, portion and service were delightful. Server: "Flor J" helped us. First time using a Panda gift card and the server effortlessly scanned it for me and completed the transaction. I ordered 2 "Bigger Plates" with one being $13.10 for three entrees and a starch. Food was tasty as ever. The Beef and Broccoli was our favorite. Not enough room on the plate for my Teri Chicken, so the server cut it up to fit in the small takeout box. Going to Panda today lit up my tastebuds to return sooner. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics. read more

I like this location. Definitely just descent Chinese fast food. I always get the mushroom chicken with chow fun noodles and fried rice. Good if you are hungry. Inside is clean and workers are helpful. The inside is spacious and has plenty of tables to sit down on. Unlimited refills at the drink station. I like that. Definitely will be back if I am craving cheap Chinese food. read more

Thanks to Yelp friend Alvin A. I found out about the family pack which includes three large entrees and two starch options. Great choice when you are feeding a group! The individual options are nicely packed in a jumbo carry out box. read more

Was in Pearl City so decided to buy food from here...wrong move! Normally, when we buy food from any Panda Express, we always order 2 plates with three entrees. We get half noodles and half chow fun, two entrees would be placed in the plate and the third entree in a small cardboard box. They will usually fill the cardboard box a little above the rim so they would need to scotch tape it to close. At this Panda Express, they did put the tape on for both boxes but it wasn't needed. One was filled below the rim of the box and the other was filled one-third below the rim. So disappointing because the price goes up which is expected but amount of all food went down by maybe a third including the carbs. My intent was to post pictures of the food, menu and give a good rating BUT decided not to because of the attitude I experienced when I went back to pick up the Teri sauce they forgot to include in my bag for the chicken. Halfway home, I realized no one asked if I wanted the sauce on the chicken or in a container. Looked at the chicken...no sauce! Looked for the container...none! We had to turn around because the chicken doesn't have too much taste without it. Another disappointment! I informed the cashier about the sauce. She walked away, poured the sauce in the container, put it in a small package and gave it to me. No word, no apologies...just passed it to me with a not-so-nice glare! Hmmm, don't think she cares about keeping their customers. I'm thinking this Pearl City location lost me as one! read more

CHOOSE ANOTHER PANDA LOCATION. Came here for fundraiser and they asked for the code 5 times! Come to find out after getting home, receipt doesn't show the fundraiser... Horrible customer service, smallest portions, wrong and missing items, slow cashier (trainee shouldn't be at the register alone!). Store is really clean but no wonder they don't have the long line anymore. read more

We always go to this panda as it's closest to our house. They give a good portion size and are always dependable as far as the panda quality. It's always hard for them to understand you and vise versa; especially with masks now. They offer order online but that doesn't seem to work well as they often don't have it ready or it didn't go through. If you have the time and are healthy enough to go in, I suggest going in as it makes it easier for you. You can always half your side choice, even in a bowl. So that offers even more variety in a plate. read more

Crazy long line in the evening to the point where you are either pressed up against the door or waiting outside. Parking is a nightmare and there aren't enough tables for a family of 4+ to sit at. The food tastes just like any other Panda Express and there isn't anything unique at this location other than it's the only PE in Pearl City vicinity. Other than that, food is tasty as usual and workers are friendly. Though I would like to see more workers helping to decrease the line by taking orders faster. A little more pep in your step for the dinner rush hour please :) read more

I was excited to see a new menu item on the line "Crispy Almond Chicken Breast", but unfortunately you're not able to try it. Since I was only getting a bowl, I didn't want to get something that I was unsure of so I settled for my usual favorite (mushroom chicken). The food itself was nice and hot, and very tasty! Everything seemed freshly made! read more

Walked in for lunch and there was no line. They actually let me try some samples which really helped me makeup my mind. All the workcrew was hard at work busy doing something. The gentlemen in back made my plate and gave me generous portions. I ordered the Wok-Seared Steak and Shrimp (which was an additional $1.50) and the mushroom & chicken along with half chow fun and half fried rice for starch. I also had ice tea from the chill box which was refreshing. Total out of pocket under $14. Had a very fast and good experience. We had it for takeout and everything was superb. read more

Shocker alert. The incredible shrinking bowl. I ordered the bowl today and now it's half the size. They say it's the same. It's not! You can't fit the same amount of food in that small container. Not only has food prices gone up but there're trying to rip you off by decreasing the container size and tell you it's the same. Unreal read more

Customer service is horrible, I would not go back to that panda express. I bought a Bigger plate and the amount of food that the lady had give wasn't close to a bigger plate or even a regular plate can be filled. I asked the Lady why is my plate looks like a mini she did not respond. The food was really good at panda the food is great but the reason for 2 stars is poor customer service. read more

The workers here are super friendly and have great energy, specifically James and Paz! They actually care about getting you good food quickly, hot and delicious. Very clean as well read more

We got the chow mein & only had 3 choices to choose from that's vegetarian... veggie spring roll, tofu/eggplant, & steamed mix veggies. They were all good. The tofu/eggplant was my favorite! Veggie spring roll was good too. Perfect crispiness to it. I shared the 3 item with my wife because we weren't that hungry. She normally gets a 3 item for herself & have left overs for a meal later but we were going to be out a while lol. They serve bowls, but only 1 choice. If u not hungry & don't want left overs, it's only $7.50. To me it's worth to spend $10.50 n get the 3 item & have left overs or share it with someone This Panda Express seems newer. I don't live in the area & my first time here. There's men's & women's restrooms inside the restaurant. There's parking inside the same plaza panda is in. I recommend Panda Express. read more

Panda Express - Kung Pao Chicken and String Bean Chicken Breast with Fried Rice. Just delicious. - Chinese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

This particular location is pretty efficient. There are usually lines that go to the door - but they get you in and out quickly. They aren't the friendliest, but I'm guessing most people don't go their to chit chat. It's basically get in and get out. The food is consistent with other locations, so no complaints. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

The food here is hit or miss. Sometimes it's good sometimes it's alright. I've had a lot better service at other locations though. Whenever I put in a phone order it takes forever for me to actually get someone on the phone to order and then when I finally do get to speak to someone their customer service isn't great half the time they aren't listening and then ask you to repeat yourself multiple times. If I can I go to other locations. read more

Panda Express - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Just bought food here and I had a bad experience. First thing line wasn't long but the service seams to be dragging took me awhile to start ordering. While I'm waiting I was watching the cook and service line work. The cooks was cooking and filling the line but makes bad decisions by cooking dishes that's half full and not noticing what entree needs to be filled. Even the line service wasn't helping by calling out what entree that needs to be filled. I finally got help and placed my order in less than two minutes. I had to wait because one of my entree was empty. I figured why not. Shake my head I had to wait ten minutes for my last entree to cook. Saw eight customers pass me with their order. Been a while since I've been here and service has not been this bad. I will not come back to Pearl City Pandas for awhile. read more

This is probably gonna be the shortest review I've ever written but BEWARE. If you have 3 or more people in your party, there are only 2 places to sit, both which are very uncomfortable. There's a "bar type seating" near the entrance only fits 3 people. Only a few inches away from the door. The rest of the seating are 2 seaters and people are literally breathing or having there butts in your face while you eat. Lastly only one table that seats about 4 people, that's in the tea bar area. The food is okay, just like any other pandas all to me are the same, I love the orange chicken and the chow fun. Beijing beef and honey walnut shrimp is always Delish. However just the seating arrangement sucks. read more

DO NOT COME HERE! I'm so livid. I came tonight, ordered our per usual. 3 panda bowls is what we get and we get super full from this and sometimes have leftover. My 1st bowl was rice & black pepper steak. I watched my server place the entree into my bowl and the serving size was 1/2 the ladle. She closed the lid and set it aside to make my other 2 bowls. I figured they were making more to add onto my bowl. My next two plates were the same, grilled Teri chicken. One with fried rice and the other with chow mein. Anyways, the cashier started to pack up my food and I had asked her to open my steak bowl. She opens it and she herself looked at the portion, looked at the girl who served it like wth? I literally had 1 piece of steak a few bell peppers and onions and 2 huge mushrooms. She slathered gravy all over to make it look full. I made a big stink in front of the customers asking them to look at that plate; would you pay $11 for this? And laughed. I was just about to take a photo but cashier added more to my order. 2nd the girl that served my food had the nerve to roll her eyes at me bc I was complaining. And 3rd (I should've checked my other order there) I came home, and that fricken server cut 1 chicken thigh and 1/2'd the portion amongst my 2 bowls. I'm not over exaggerating. My son and husband shared 1 thigh! This is so absurd I'm sure I'm not the only one complaining about Panda's in Pearl City, Kuala serving sizes. They're a rip off. I paid $29 for 3 bowls that left my family still hungry. I called multiple times and they don't even answer their phones. I wonder why? Dear Management, I wish you could fix this! Sincerely, A pissed off customer Order: 267223 read more

UPDATE 8/13/20: 3 stars added. Now 4-star review. Thank you for addressing my concern regarding online ordering. Last night's order was much quicker. I'll be back in a couple of weeks. ------------- What exactly is the point of ordering online? I placed my order at 5:00, requesting pickup at 6:00. When I get here at 6:05, order is not ready and woman says that they are making the order. WTF? Trying to support businesses during Covid, but F-U read more

Portions definitely getting smaller. If they expect to stay in business give us customers what we pay for and stop skimping. Back to Mings

Food that was there delious, however 3 of the selection pans had very little in them and it was quite visible old and shriveled. I hope they improve their line servers. I would like to order from a complete menu instead of being forced to order from just the full selections read more

PORTION SIZES ARE REALLY SMALL! They try and stretch the food as much as possible but damn I'm give me a fricken full scoop

Okay so can I just say that I got pandas twice today, the first time was at pearlridge (NOT THIS LOCATION) 30min to closing and it was average service, not good but not bad, just straight to the point - in and out. Could tell the rice was old because it was mushy in one bite but the rest was dry and hard. Not impressed, didn't even finish the plate. Start real review : The second time was to grab dinner (AT THIS LOCATION) and it was like 20 min.prior to closing. I walked in and I didn't see fried rice, when I asked, the girl asked me if I'd be willing to wait 10-12 minutes. I said yes of course because I really wasn't in a hurry and who doesn't want fresh food? Shortly one of the cooks walks out from their break room and he makes eye contact with the girl helping me and goes "fried rice? Ok! ". I really appreciated it because prior to me they weren't really planning on making more unless requested (assuming since they close soon) and they did it happily. The girl really took care of me during my visit in ways Not expressed in this review. How kind. I wish I got her name because she showed me amazing hospitality. Definitely the best pandas I've been to and I've been to many, even in the mainland. read more

I'm so disappointed I went to get food for my husband who is in the hospital and they didn't even include the entree I called and they said that they went back to check cameras and something was put in the bowl. Well obviously but not my freaking honey sesame chicken. Now I gotta starve to prove a point. read more

Would've given more stars if not for the broccoli beef that tasted sour and smells like spoiled. Mushroom chicken is nice, tofu eggplant was ok, fried noodle and fried rice tasted better than last time. But I would have to say price went up by $5 but container became smaller. Yes it is still cheaper than the original price but it should not be cutting corners. read more

I love me some Panda Express here & there! Located where the Walmart is. Parking is a bit limited when it's prime time. There's always a line here! I love how it's super clean and very spacious here. Lots of tables and chairs here. Although we usually take-out. Food is great! You can't really go wrong with Panda Express. I love their chow fun and their orange chicken! They usually have lots of options! Their egg roll is good too! My husband loves their friend rice. Overall, it's great and workers are nice. I'll keep coming back! read more

I Love the fact they have a green choice for the starch. Kale broccoli and cabbage mixture. With my honey walnut shrimp . Yummy My friends fried rice could have used a little more flavor though read more

Very bad customer service and cleanliness. I would rate this a negative star if possible. Ordered online and was told my food would be ready in 20 minutes but upon arrival I had to wait 30 minutes in line for online order pickup then another hour for my food. The dining area was very crowded with limited spacing between customers and they had no order since they were letting customers who just arrived cut in line. More concerning was that there must have been over 30 people in this small space when counting the customers and workers (no social distancing). One of the workers was coming around asking for the online order numbers and touching their phones with her gloves on and then going behind the counter and packing food without washing her hands or changing gloves. They were even letting customers behind the area they were storing food for pickups and letting the customers touch the food bags even if it wasn't their order. Walk in customers took precedence and were helped in a timely manner compared to the online order customers who were waiting over 30 minutes to be helped. Even worse, the workers would tell the walk in customers so sorry for the wait but wouldn't even acknowledge the extremely long wait times for us online order customers. read more

Can't be 4 star for nice service didn't care about the taste because I know how taste for panda already since I'm huge fan of panda! but I found hair in my plate that's it... I won't come back to this location. Sounds so picky but it's big disappointed to me sorry but I will still go the other location read more

Panda Express - Hair..... ewwwww!!! - Chinese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Worst Panda Express ever!!!! First they gave away my food to another family because everyone in front of me was waiting for something that wasnt ready and then after realizing took another few minutes to figure out that ummmmm hello I still don't have food I paid for already they ask for my receipt to remake my food. I'm watching the girl remake my plate but instead of all super greens there is half chow mein I let her know I can't eat the noodles so she now has to dump that plate and start again. All the while the 2 plates that were made correctly are just sitting because now we have to wait for more greens and chicken mushroom again. After waiting and waiting and waiting I asked for the refund of my plate because my families food was just sitting there read more

How can they not have white rice?!?!? Are you guys sure your an Asian restaurant? Haha. read more

It's a go to for fast food style Chinese food. The walnut Shrimp is my favorite! I do wish the noodles has more seasoning and more vegetables..a bit bland and plain. Service is fast but the cooks need to keep the choices full. Don't wait until there's only two orders left especially if people are steady walking in. Yesterday after ordering we has to wait for our noodles. Our plates were made then sat for 10 minutes or more waiting for more noodles to be cooked. More communication between front staff and line cooks.. and more attention to the cleanliness of the tables. High turnover and busy place but if there's time to stand and talk and play, there's time to stay ahead of the duties. Convenient and will continue to dine here. read more

Service was wonderful from the staff behind the counter. While I was eating my plate lunch, an employee was cleaning the front of the restaurant. As I looked up... the male employee, compressing the trash bin... he spat in the trash bin and continued to compress the trash bin located INSIDE the front of the restaurant. Talk about disgusting!!! Right in front of eating patrons! This is not a "Grade A" or PASSABLE trait to have in the restaurant. The restaurant needs to retrain the employees about cleanliness and self etiquette during business hours, especially in front of eating patrons. read more
