I was greeted with a happy smile and a loud "welcome". Food was appealing, staff was smiling and management very attentive. Would recommend this location to anyone looking for wonderful food at a great price. read more

-- Panda Express (The Oaks Mall, Thousand Oaks) I stopped by this Panda Express while shopping at the mall and decided to grab lunch since there was no line. A lot of the food in the trays looked old and dry, so I picked the items that seemed the freshest: beef and broccoli, mushroom chicken, and lo mein. The total was around $12+, and I had trouble understanding the cashier when she asked for a donation -- the area was dark and loud, and after a few attempts she just moved on. I took the food home, and that's where things really went downhill. Everything was extremely oily -- to the point where it was honestly unappetizing. I cook often and never see food swimming in oil like that, and I doubt it was a healthy kind. The flavors weren't terrible, but they weren't good either, and the greasiness completely ruined it for me. I remember Panda Express being decent years ago, but this visit wasn't great, and I don't see myself going back. read more

Bad experience at this location. The cashier lady working did not give me a tray or anything when giving me my food to eat there, she said they don't have any.. The bottom of the plate was way too hot to carry plus I ordered extra side orders and sauces and couldn't carry everything, so I told her no problem about the trays but I asked her to bag it for me instead, she threw the bag at me on the counter and said I'm not bagging it for you if you ordered if for here that's why I asked you , and I told her yeah but I didn't know you didn't have any trays ? She said well everyone else just carries their food with their hands !!! Then she refused to give me her name and even covered her name tag and threatened to call Securty on me . read more

Dean, a very helpful team member made the free dodger win memorable. I was having a problem using the app but he stepped in and showed me just how to do it. Very kind. And the food is delicious! read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

I know this guy doesn't care but......... I purchased my food using a card & after eating I realized I needed some cash change. -- 5 bill to 1 bills -- I walked up to the counter and asked this guy for change and he said "you have to purchase something". I pulled out my receipt and told him I just bought from you guys. He said "yeah I can't open the register" So this guy thinks people are ignorant and that everyone will believe that registers can't be opened? I told him I'm too old to believe that you can't open the register. Then he said "yeah we can't do it" Just say you don't want to exchange my money, so many stupid excuses. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Today, l went to The Oaks Mall food court and ordered food there. I didn't look when the lady put food into the box, but when I got home, the large size of chow mein was only less than 3/4 filled. This is ridiculous. I don't know how the workers at this location were trained. The lady served me had no smile on her face at all and when I gave her the gift card (because it didn't work after I swiped twice), I told them "last time when I used it, they had to put the number in manually and I don't know why?" And what I got was the mad eyes staring at me from the serving lady. How can you expect customers will come back in the future if you have this kind of service??? read more

Panda Express - Large size of chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Came to Panda for dinner and ordered a plate. Portion-wise I was pretty happy w the Teriyaki Chicken. Tender, juicy, & yummy! The broccoli beef was also good, didn't get enough beef but I guess the chicken made up for it. However, the chow mein was not so good today. It lacked flavor drastically and tasted like I was eating nothing, no flavor at all despite how it looked. I was disappointed seeing how greasy it looked knowing the grease wasn't worth the taste. It was just plain oily and no flavor. Please work on quality control of your food Panda. read more

Panda Express - Broccoli Beef / Teriyaki Chicken / Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Horrible experience today at this location. The "manager" small hispanic lady treaded me and my family very rude without any reason at all. This person had no patience towards us specially towards my son. Afterwards she started to act very aggressive when handling the food. Moving forward I will not be attending this location. read more

Gotta be the worst Panda Express I've ever been to , first off the customer service was horrible lady didn't even greet us had her head down the whole time and looked like she hated her job , cooks were doing nothing when all the food was short and they were out of 3 things. Secondly the food was horrible orange chicken was dry and Beijing beef was soggy the portions were small like maybe she doesn't want to give the cooks any work. I couldn't even finish the food messed up my whole lunch . read more

I love the cook at this panda . Always fast, good fresh food . taste good. Just door dash sometimes is a miss but in person it's always great here Best Panda read more

Panda Express - Double chicken string beans and honey chicken - Chinese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

The service was okay, though I would rather say that I felt a little bit rushed as one of the employees impatiently asked me if I was ready despite me and my family asking for more time. The restaurant was clean and my family and me had a great time hanging out and eating inside. I recommend the plate since the bowl is fairly small, especially for a big fella like me. read more

I ordered mushroom chicken bowl with rice. I received 3 scoops of rice and one scoop of chicken. That feels wrong. The flavor was fine but the rice was under cooked. Chewy. Two pieces of chicken were gristle, straight up gross, I spit it out. It appears Panda's quality control is taking the day off. read more

Final straw Always had trouble with this place, but this was the final problem. Kung Pao chicken with no sauce? A spoonful of unsauced kung pao but the bowl overstuffed with noodles, no packets of sauce, flat soda with not enough syrup, mostly water, not carbonated. read more

I know prices have gone up basically everywhere but since when do TWO À LA CARTE ITEMS COME TO ALMOST $22??! Geez.

Better yet, SHE should pick out and hire more people like her!!! read more

Manager that speaks Spanish talking bad about me and my friend in Spanish because she didn't know I talked Spanish and refused service to customers by simply asking for teriyaki sauce and when I asked for a water cup she said your little dumb friend over there already had a straw read more

She made my experience fast and pleasant where now, adays is hard to find I can tell she enjoys her job because her greetings of welcoming is very inviting. read more

*No drive thru* States drive thru inside of features of Panda Express location. Very misleading for a person that's traveling.

This particular location is inside the food court at the Oaks Mall. Its an ok place to get an inexpensive meal while your shopping there. I was there around noon on a weekday. Because it was prime lunch time, you would have expected all of the entree selections to be out in plentiful supply. At least half of them just had a tiny bit left, which is not very appetizing to look at and doesn't really tempt you to want to order from that. What I found most annoying was that, even though I was dining in, they don't offer any trays to carry your food to your table as is typically done at other Panda Express locations. I didn't really appreciate having to juggle my food items in my arms while searching for a table to eat at. read more

Kevin was amazing!! Working so hard during the lunch rush and he managed to be so kind and make sure I got nothing less than a perfect experience. The station was clean, the food was hot and fresh, and Kevin made sure to put a smile on my face. Thank you so much Kevin you deserve a raise! read more

Your employees are fucking racists! It was yesterday. We went to have lunch at your establishment and stood in line, then, when my turn came up, employee Mari literally did not want to see me and defiantly began to collect online orders right in front of me. I work in a delivery service and I know very well that customers in the queue are served first and only then online orders are collected. Can you tell me what she meant? Is it because I don't speak English well? Or why? Maybe I don't look good? What is my problem? I love your food but will never go back to you again. It was here 2204 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles read more

Fast Chinese food either hit or miss. Today I got soggy orange chicken and the fried rice was horrible. I won't write much about this place because I encourage you to get out there and try something different. I won't be back until I forget this experience happened. That will take some time. I've been to several locations and it's strange to have such inconsistencies at a chain establishment. read more

Itzel is so wonderful, very helpful. Even with a looooongggggg line of people. She is working all by herself with the cook. I can appreciate good customer service. GREAT WORK ITZEL read more

Went in to order my food and this lady cooking started looking at me with disgust like she didn't want me there and while I was telling her what I wanted she would give me so much attitude. I have gone there several times when she's working and I've noticed how much she screams at the other employees without reason. So as of the last time I went to order it will be my last going to that restaurant. read more

When I went to the cashier in the front to pay I gave her a $20 dollars for a $8 bowl and I realized she gave me $7 dollars in change back by the time I got home. read more

food is great, but Itzel has no idea what she is doing. She need Carlos to do everything for her. Get better service

Rude employees at the drive through window, and an ever ruder store manager. Asked for sweetener for my iced tea and was told they don't have any. Manager stepped in and told me to "I don got any" "go ahead and call corporate if you want to complain" So I did. They don't give a crap either. I'm not a fan of pandas cold Chinese fast food, but my options were limited. Never again will pick up Panda Express! read more

Was at the mall and decided to give Panda Express another try. Why not? I got teriyaki chicken and steamed veggies with rice. I was happy they had brown rice as an option and the portion they gave me was huge. Staff was friendly and polite, and the location was clean. Food was fresh. On the downside it's very cheap quality Chinese food and after eating a giant plate of it, within hours I felt starving again. I know that's a stereotype so I should not be surprised but other Chinese food doesn't do that to me so I was not expecting it here. Oh well, I doubt I'll return but if you want Panda Express this location does a good job of it. read more

Panda Express - Brown rice with teriyaki chicken and steamed vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Employees horsing around taking the order. Food mixed in with the wrong plate. Missing order of teriyaki chicken. Called restaurant. Rude rude rude! Ask for my name to give me credit for $1.25 side dish... that's not what we ordered. We asked for a big plate. Again the employees were so loud in the background and yes STILL HORSING around ... ended with the female saying "look you called us I'm just trying to figure out what we did wrong!" Rude .... Just rude. $24.74 worth of cold food and mixed up plates ... incomplete order. Smh. read more

The employees made my meal correctly and quickly. The prices were very affordable and the food was so good! I would very highly recommended.

I feel silly reviewing a Panda Express (it is what it is)... But wanted to put in a good word for the very pleasant and hard working young staff here. I think the other reviews are a bit harsh considering this is very inexpensive, Food Court fast food. As food court restaurant choices go, everything here is fresh, and there are even some very healthy and low calorie choices. I've been here multiple times, as it's probay the healthiest option at the Oaks Mall. And as Panda Express and fast food goes, it's always delivered, and the staff has ways been friendly and helpful. Would this be my Last Meal on death row? Heavens No! But for a quick healthy bite while shopping in T.O. it's my go-to. read more

I paid with a $20 for a bowl, spring rolls, and drink. I rounded up my change for their charity so it was $14 total. This was on my lunch break and afterwards I realized the cashier didn't give me my receipt or $6 change.... read more

Jacob was very nice at the counter, gave great recommendations. Will come back again for the grilled chicken

Jayson gives the best service I have ever received from this location. He was generous with the samples and knowledgeable about everything. Plus, he had such a great attitude that it made my day! Thanks Jayson! read more

Our grandson loves their breaded chicken with a sweet sauce, so we went after a movie. The food was their standard; the service was outright horrible. Management here is the problem, not the staff. No one quite knew what they were doing, and the young girl who helped us, clearly a new employee, was sent on several backroom errands in the midst of waiting on us. When we asked why we were waiting so long and people were going around us while we were half served, no one would help us. Many of the serving pans were empty, then what was replaced wasn't what people were waiting for. It was simply a management disaster. When I finally got a manager to talk to, she could care less. read more

I went to The Oaks for a Hot Dog on a Stick. My niece saw Panda Express and she just had to have it. I personally don't care for it. Too much cabbage for my taste. The rice always seems undercooked (hard). Nicole helped us. She was very nice. She asked if we wanted a kids meal. I had no idea they even had that. My niece was very excited to have her own little personal meal. She had noodles and broccoli as her side. The meal included a chocolate chip cookie and a small fountain drink. She ate it all. Except for the cookie. She had no idea what happened to it. read more

This is the greasiest Chinese food I've ever had. I'm already nauseous. Ugh. Who eats this on purpose? Never again.

I been to your Locations all this years,and I don't see the reason why cut cut the mall employer dicount for the bawl size. Reinstall it! It helps us and your company marketing,Sometimes people feels having just a small portion of a good food, it will be recommended to get it to other fellow employees. read more

Great team and wonderful service. We'd been shopping at the mall and decided to drop into the food court. My wife stopped at Hot Dog on a Stick and I went onto Panda Express. I serviced quickly. I found a seat and was half way through my meal before my wife joined me. She was very displeased with the serve from the Dog. Panda you are great. read more
