    walnut shrimp, orange chicken, fried rice
    Thalia M.

    Whenever I'm craving orange chicken & fried rice, I always go to Pandex. I usually get a bowl for myself but if I'm sharing with my sister, we would get an entree. I usually like ordering at the sjsu pandex because the portions are huuuge however, I also lived close to cottle so I came here during this time (2018). Orange chicken: 5/5, Very flavorful and yummy! I enjoy eating this with the fried rice or chow mein. Walnut shrimp: 3/5, This was a bit too dry but it wasn't bad. I wish it was more creamy. Fried rice: 5/5, Your typical "chinese takeout" fried rice, pairs well with the orange chicken. Bbq chicken: 5/5, Really tender & juicy. I also really enjoy this one. Chow mein: 5/5, Flavorful and it tastes good on its own too!

    Uniqueness: None. Standard Panda Express Wait Time: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][ ] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Recommendation? Craving a quick Chinese-American bite? Go here. Panda Express in general isn't a very unique place as it's just a fast-food chain. This spot that I went to was like any other with all the same dishes you'll see, from the Orange Chicken to the Beijing Beef. The food here was great as is and didn't find anything different good or bad. They had the shields and social distancing guidelines set in place so that was good and everyone was wearing masks while making your order. The wait time was mediocre as it was nearing peak time and many people ordered online so that definitely backed things up. The service when I went was good and I had no issues at all with them. Would I come back to this spot? Probably will when I'm craving Panda again.

    The fuck is this were is the rest of the order

    Shitty service and dumbass employees working an Asian girl took our order we didn't eat the order so we went to McDonald's where our order was perfect we asked for white rice and we didn't get our 3 entree plate they just gave us beef broccoli and chow mien when we wanted white rice King Po Chicken and Orange Chicken and some Hispanic girl tried to help but she also did a shitty job if you want real good Chinese food go to Jade China on Monterey Rd my mom loves white rice but Panda Express did my mom wrong McDonald's service is better we got our food within 2 minutes

    Bowl barely halfway full. Can probably feed a toddler.

    This portion size was not worth $11. Other locations fill it to the top. Quick service though.. but not coming back.

    Uncooked fried rice and not fresh string bean chicken
    Loan T.

    Bought 2 of the 2 item entree plate. First plate: fried rice and double orders of string bean chicken...The rice from the fried rice was hard in the center. Not fully cook. I had barely 3-4 little pieces chicken, plenty of onions (which I had disposed) and old dried out string beans (some ends were uncut with the stems). 2nd plate: chow mein, honey walnut shrimp and string bean chicken... same problem with the string bean since it was the same batch and the honey walnut shrimps were soggy. Only think was fine was the chow mein. I think this place is the worst location for Panda. First time this location but it will be the last time as well. Definitely not rush hour and there was only 4 people ahead of me waiting for their foods. Most of the food on the pans are empty and the food that are left on the trays looks dried out. No, thank you!

    First, I'd like to start by saying I definitely don't blame the employees at this location,This seems to have been a vendor issue. While eating my beef and broccoli I found a large maggot looking insect. I called corporate and they offered me a refund for my meal, and sent me an email with the refund process. However, I feel like the general public should be cautioned by this experience .

    Time to get our grub on Lots of Entrées to choose from and portions are good size Staff is friendly and helpful First time coming to this location Very clean dining area and clean restrooms

    It's a Panda Express, so... Anyway, this one was dark and cavernous but fine. With its neighbors supplying at least a few tables outside during the pandemic it'd be nice to have that option.

    Food and the rude lady.
    Realasitgets T.

    I tried to come here agin 5 months later to give this place a 2nd shot. The lady by the name of cho told me they stopped cooking food. This was 45 min before closing she said they can not cook what I requested and to come back another day. Why close at 10 pm to stop cooking and serving customers 45 min before 10pm. This is a F+

    This is a "plate" i got like 10 pieces of chicken.
    Mia B.

    This place is a rip off. Not only was Nanci extremely rude she kept rolling her eyes at me when i was taking time to think of what I wanted, I'm not someone who is picky and I often let passive aggressive behavior slide, but she was being blatantly disrespectful. Also the portion size she gave me was ridiculous, i asked for an extra scoop of the orange chicken since she gave me 4 pieces of chicken initially and she decides that the extra scoop is actually my second entree. I feel like i paid 9 dollars for chow mein. Im really disappointed at the lack of service, this has been a repeating problem at this location Update: Management reached out to me and was very kind, they sent me a ticket to try this place out again and that meant a lot considering they were not the ones that made the mistake. Im adding two stars for this reason.

They have digital menus above the kiosk where you order. Besides drinks, they also offer Taiwanese food and snacks. I decided to try the Tropical Trio ($5.75) which had kumquat, pineapple and strawberry in it. My hubby ordered the coconut smoothie ($6.00). There was one employee working and I asked her if she could make the drinks a little less sweet. She said she would. We looked for a place to sit and wait for our drinks. There is a large seating area inside. Our drinks were ready in 5 minutes. Both were good. They were very refreshing and hit the spot. I'm happy to know that there is a good tea shop in this area. I'll be back again.

Recognized Tea Era and didn't realize they had another shop. Ordered the Lychee Misty (50% sweet). The tea was very bitter. Didn't really taste the lychee, it was a small hint and a very strong Chrysanthemum tea taste. I know I got 50% sweet, but the tea was so bitter and left like a weird after coating and I couldn't get myself to continue drinking the tea. Possibly other drinks taste better and maybe the foods as well, that I didn't try.

Be careful about going some Friday nights as there are many schools around so after football games there are SO many highschoolers and their families that come to this location. I've noticed the demographic of each In-N-Out is different on Friday nights. I travel a lot and have been to all locations on Friday and Saturday nights and this one has had the best service. Their workers are all relatively young but probably the most hardworking out of all the locations. Usually large crowds of people but it goes by a lot quicker than expected. What I enjoyed the most about the workers here is that they actually offer to wipe down your table promptly and have someone on stand by monitoring the table status. The other locations service does not compare to this location. I ordered the classic 4x0 and had two flying Dutchman's, but I prefer to eat everything with no cheese and the quality of their ingredients are the best out of all the locations. Don't forget to toast your buns!
