Food was cold complained they. Would only remake one plate told me "you should eat it in store next time" I live at most in traffic 8 minutes from the store read more

The line wasn't very long, 3 people in front of me, but I ended up waiting almost 10 minutes before even ordering because the staff is so slow and take care of online orders first. Some of the entrees are empty and the cooks look unhappy and are just going so slowly if they're even cooking. They're taking their time for my "fast" food. And I'm ordering something that was listed but has to be made to order. So here I am, waiting another five minutes or so probably more for my order. I've been here a total of 20 minutes and haven't had my food ready. Thanks panda for making me late for work. Ridiculous. Just had my food. The brown rice is hard and the portion is fair but not the usual heaping sizes I am used to. read more

Almost don't come here every time because of the reviews, but honestly, not that bad. Shirley was especially helpful and friendly and I was in and out in 5 minutes read more

I read some bad reviews for this place and had to see for myself. My girlfriend and I received great customer service. They gave us good portions of food, and even gave us extra beef for free! It's clean here too. Over all good experience. I do have to say that it's kind of hard to understand the employees. But whatever! I love Panda!!!! #OrangeChickenLyfe read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Riverbank, California

I been away from this Panda Express location for while. Even when is around the corner from home. But come on they can't do it worse. Oh my.. how wrong I was, cold food, they don't mention they ran out of some salsa before they serve the food, surprise no teriyaki sauce for my Teriyaki chicken. Plus they ran out of small cups... so buy a medium drink that's your problem no restaurant. Finally I asked if they will make more orange chicken (1:30 away from closing) they said no. Holly Molly ... fresh Orange chicken right when I am paying. Stay away from this Panda, drive to Floyd location. This place sucks. read more

My boyfriend and I love panda so much, but only because of our favorite manager, Xavier. He always goes above and beyond for us and gives us the best service. He really goes out of his way to let the customers know that he cares. Xavier is a great example of what a manager/employee should be. Keep it up and see you soon!!! -Annarina and Brian read more

I should have followed the earlier Yelp reviews and avoid this place. I chose this place because it's right around the corner from home. I normally have a specific spot to go to for my cravings but I decided to be lazy today and stayed close to home. And what a waste and disappointment. In my family meal, they added a BIG piece of broccoli that took up the LARGE entree box. So, my family and I got only a couple of bites of broccoli and very little meat. Also, the grilled chicken teriyaki was super burnt. Completely gross. For that LARGE entree of grilled chicken, that place only gave us one packet of teriyaki sauce... again, for a LARGE entree box of grilled chicken. Please, if you're trying to feed your family, don't go there. This place doesn't even fill your box. All the boxes in our family meal had at least a quarter rim left to fill. So, please spend your money elsewhere. I know I will. read more

Places a order took 20 minutes for jaden to relise they made my order and it was sitting in front of her waiting to be baged

How do you keep forgetting the teriyaki sauce!!!! I called just to remind this damn place about it and still managed to mess it up! Sad that I have to change locations on Grubhub cause of how garbage this place is with orders! read more

Had the $20 family meal tonight. Comes with 2 sides and 3 entrees. All for $20. Sides we picked were fried rice and chow mein. Had orange chicken for 2 entrees and string bean chicken as the 3rd. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. It fed 4 of us with plenty of leftovers. My only issue was the string bean chicken was mostly string beans. Hope next time I will get a more evened out ratio. But thank you Panda for an easy dinner at a good price. read more

Panda has a problem at most locations at the moment. The waits are getting out of control and not having food ready is becoming a problem. Please remove Express from your name. Thanks read more

We've been going here for years, and we like the food. But they are stingy on the sauces for no reason that I can figure. It's been an ongoing issue with them and when we go in person I just ask for more, but today's order pickup took the cake. One tiny cup, not even a third full, with a double order of spring rolls (4 rolls). We didn't notice until we got home with the order because the pickup orders are now all sealed shut because of Covid precautions. My husbands order of orange chicken was skimpier than usual, too. Frustrating. read more

Panda Express - This is all the sauce you get for 4 spring rolls - Chinese Near Me - Riverbank, California

Ordered online against my better judgement. This location is only alright to begin with so having to wait 15 minutes for substandard food is not getting the job done. That's supposed to be Bejing beef on the left. Jerky is a more accurate description. I'm done with the Riverbank Panda and most likely done with Panda all together. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Riverbank, California

Unpleasant Panda Experience. Had to throw my food away. Rice was too soft/moist & orange chicken was undercooked.., way too much sauce. Didn't receive fortune cookie. Instead of handing of me my food she left it next to the register & left after taking my payment. Made me reach over to pick my food. She seemed to be upset for the fact I didn't donate b/c IM Sorry I don't trust foundations. Honestly not going attend there ever again. read more

I would've gave them a zero based on how they handled the situation. We ordered our food online they gave us a specific time to arrive we arrived we had to still wait about 12 minutes they were rude when we asked him if everything was in the bag they said yes when we looked into the bag we had food missing we called them to let them know they hung up on us my husband walked in to pick it up they made him go to the end of the line and wait horrible horrible way they handled it. This is actually not the first time I've had problems this is the third time and that's why I chose to give them a really bad review so my advice to you is open your bags make sure you have everything you requested before you walk out of there make him accountable at that moment. read more

Like any Panda Express, it's well, Panda Express. I like the food. Yes, I've had better but it fills a hole and it's consistent. One expects certain dishes to have a certain taste and presentation in advance, and that expectation is fulfilled. Oh, I've had much better Chinese food but I've also had much, much worse. If anything, the staff could use some lessons in hospitality. A greeting, a smile, and letting the customer feel welcomed would go a long way. The staff seems miserable, as if they are forced to work and the customer's presence is just more for them to do. read more

I was hungry so I wait and order. Work my way down the line to pay. Pull out a 20 to pay only to be told we aren't accepting cash. Not a frigging sign any where of that policy. I'd left my wallet at home. So I ended up leaving. The guy behind me graciously offered to pay for my food. I said no but thank you. Be a cold day when I go back. read more

The worst and most disrespectful establishment i've ever walked into. It was so bad I had to walk out on a really hungry stomach. The lady in charge literally ignored me while trying to order & for no apparent reason. I was there for over 15 minutes in the front line trying to order & being ignored while the lady in charge gibberished with another worker and even made some bad comments about her customers. There was a big line stretched outside this "restaurant" and everyone was unhappy. On top of everything they are unorganized and all look like it's the first day on the job. Terrible experience. I am beyond offended. As a regular, I will never come to Panda Express again! read more

Cannot believe my eyes! I was pulling up to the parking stall in front of them at 9:03 and they were rushing to close the doors. Online it clearly says 9:30 as the restaurant itself does not have the hours posted. I stood outside for about 3 minutes while they cleaned the restaurant and they tried very hard to not make eye contact. DISAPPOINTED! read more

I have never been treated so rudely. We came into panda with masks on and 6' distancing and we're yelled at from across the room thawed had to wait out side. I see why this place only has a 2 star rating. Your organization needs to do some customer service training. There were like 6 people working there. I use the word working lightly. Because only 2 were doing anything. It's too bad because the food is good. Service is horrible. read more

Waited too long and then cashier got distracted from a person that order there food online app took them first when I was already waiting a long time and was next to pay the people just put there order and wasn't even received from there system which by the way they just did it from the parking lot so that was bs that they ordered it ten min ago and then she mess up and had to go back again only got one of my two order then waited another ten min wow haven't been to a Panda Express like this before read more

The absolute worst Panda I've ever been to. They never have the dishes you want and the head staff person is terrible to deal with. Will not recommend. How can you be out of steamed rice? read more

Xavier was attending to client ahead of me. Within a couple of minutes 3 clients were waiting. He next completed a take-out order, never greeting any of the waiting customers, nada zilch nothing. Our exchange began without eye contact and just "what can I get you?" Another Yelp review states that a Xavier is a manager here...WOW. When checking out I mentioned that for customer service he should acknowledge the guests waiting. His verbal and body language was derisive and basically F... You. The Yelp reviews confirms the poor service at this location, maybe some retraining of one of YOUR managers is in order? read more

This place is always unorganized, careless and dirty. The staff are always stressed out by management and supervisors saying one thing then another. I witnessed staff asking to make more fried rice and chow Mein 30min before closing because both along with meats were very low the manager seemed irritated and said no we're not making anymore food while there was still 3 people in line who haven't ordered. I can tell the staff kept looking at the line like he knew there needed to be more food made and within seconds literally 2 or 3 families walk in which now that 3 people line grew to 10 or 12 people in line. Get rid of all managers and some staff and rehire everyone new in that place. Yes understand under staff issues but I've seen places with way less people then here literally working together well and getting it done fine may be under pressure but making it happen this place doesn't have that read more

Great place for Chinese food. We love coming here and are regulars at the last one. Terrific foods all around including egg rolls. A must try are their specials like firecracker chicken and Beijing beef. Service is fast and food is always good. We will be back! read more

See all

Not my favorite Panda in Modesto. The food ok I feel like they lack salt in the fried rice. But what really bothered me was a staff member. She an older Asian woman I usually see there every time I go. One time I was ordering and I suppose it was her lunch time, but as I was being served by another staff member she rudely cuts off the staff member to serve herself a plate of what I was about to get on my plate. Then after I paid, I went to the utensil area to get some napkins/forks and she rudely tells me to move so she can get a fork and napkins for herself! I'm a paying customer and she felt it was ok to prioritize her own needs first. Terrible customer service. read more

I'd been told this wasn't the best PE location to visit, but it was the one I was near, so I tried it. As was mentioned by someone else, the steamed brown rice was a little too firm. The Shanghai steak was tender & tasty for the most part (the sauce was a bit on the bland side). The mushroom chicken was very bland & it's sauce tasted very watery & flavorless. The orange chicken was good, but dry & not nicely saucy. Not a total disaster, but they could aim for better. read more

My first experience here was pleasant, but my last one was not. I would not give them 1 stars because the food was tasty and not skimped extremely. And because of the polite workers the first time. But my last visit, they were not as polite as I would have liked. I don't expect for them to yell. "WELCOME IN BUDDY" but at the minimum I expect them to be polite. Also they don't put napkins in the bag with utensils; it annoyed me and so did their, I suspect, slightly unapologetic attitude towards it. If I come in again and it's unpleasant again, I'll leave without food and go spend my money to a restraunt more deserving and give this one 1 Star. read more

Service is horrible I waited in line for about 30 minutes and there's only four people in front of me

If you preorder food here order it 1 hour before your scheduled pick up time. You might be lucky and they might actually have it made by then read more

This place has not improved. Always out of food. Always "7 minutes". Poor planning and mgmt.

As I read others reviews I simply agree... I have been here many times and thought to myself this place is always dirty. The trays have a horrible feel of grime to them the floors as well. The staff is normally nice and polite but the wait is always long. Recently I ordered food for my coworkers around 830 at night and everything that could be wrong was. Long wait, no food ( chicken sold out), noodles prepared wrong, served others around me as I waited 20 plus minutes for food. I contacted management and corporate and minor things were done. Corporate apologized and sent me a few free item cards ( thank you ). Management offered to replace the meals for my staff. During a visit in between my shifts I asked to talk to manager. Staff was very hesitant and scared to get her for me. I just wanted to express my concerns in person and ask how to replace meals late at night. She prompted me back with attitude that she New all the problems and she handled them. The store will never change and frankly I did not return for my meals. They can keep it I will find another store... read more

The trays are the grossest thing known to man! I don't know how they clean them but they have such an unpleasant sticky grimy feel to them. The service is always slow here. The soda fountain area always seems to be a disaster with spilt soda or trash. I only get food from here if I'm desperate for it and I definitely do take out with no drink. read more

I love Panda Express very much. I only have 2 minor concerns. I absolutely hate how the building is angled, because the corner gets very crowded with a very long line waiting. And my other concern is how wasteful the employees are. There's been scenarios in which there's only 1 spring roll left. They can't sell it because they only come in orders of (2). So they just throw it away... They should just give it away to the customer. I wouldn't mind even if it's cold and dry, no problem. read more

Yum Yum! Great service, fair portions. Great location in the corner of crossroads shopping center. This is the nicest Panda Express I have ever been in with the curved tables in the back and flat screen TVs. Being the perectionado foodie I am, they need to figure a way to keep certain food items hot (I tried a sample of the angus beef which was barely warm so I didn't get it). That being said, Panda Express has the best orange chicken in fast Chinese Food period. read more

Order food for delivery. When I record food each box looked halfway full. Ridiculous!!!

Ordered online. Had to wait 20 minutes for my food once I got there because they had to make more teriyaki chicken. Why would it take that long??? I won't go back. read more

Great food and service, I order online and also order inside to dine in. They are always friendly and the food is always hot. The proportions are plentiful and taste is consistent. I've never had bad service here and I've came in at lunch time and evening. Thanks for the friendly staff and awesome food! =) read more

DO NOT GO TO THAT PANDA, I ate there and the next morning I had to go to the hospital because I couldnt stop throwing up! Im never eating panda express in my life now I have a huge hospital bill due to crapy employees not being clean enough. read more

Is getting better I was here a few times before And food was cold and service was cold as well lol, but today my food was perfect, hot and not salty the personal was very friendly and attentive. So I give them five out of five ;) read more
