I went in and the lady was counting the amount of chicken she put on my plate and when I opened my plate it looked as if I had already ate out of it ... I love panda but for the price I should be getting more... read more

Panda Express - Disappointing.. - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

Portions were pretty weak. One by my house does not seem like a rip anymore lol I was still able to see the bottom of my tray :(

For one of the only four or five fast food restaurants in the entire city it definitely holds its own and has good consistent food with mostly varied options. The plate option that gives you two entrées and a side is really a great way to go. Ambience is nice. It's very busy after skiing and the staff is very friendly. read more

I received the worst food poisoning of my life from this place. The portions are extremely small and the service takes for ever

Service was mediocre. Small portions. Bathrooms are dirty. There was no toilet paper or soap. This was my first time here and will most likely be my last. read more

Panda Express - Indoor cashier area - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

See all

Mushroom chicken, broccoli beef, chow mien. Simple enough?! Worse Panda Express meal I had. Few pieces of chicken. Even fewer & small pieces of beef, tough, way well done. Broccoli was basically raw, like those used in vegete salad. Chow mien was thicker than the thin noodle used to be, starchy. Left hungry. read more

Small portions, spanish speaking a plus. I watched the lady put back one single shrimp from my plate. Did it really make a difference? I guess it's coming out of her paycheck? I was still hungry after and I am not a big girl LOL! I watched 3 people walk in after me and assuming because they spoke to her in spanish she hooked it up (could barely close the container they were loaded). Make sure to use your spanish if you're bilingual ;) hahaha read more

Person did not hook me up Gave me like 3 peices of orange chicken on my bowl I was really dissatisfied with it I've gone to this panda location my entire life and this was the first time they didn't do me right read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Clean place. Food and service was good. Prices were reasonable. Tesla charging station nearby.

Just stopped by for dinner 7::45. Normally I love Panda Express in other areas but not this location. Truckee. There were two men in front of me that hadn't been helped. The woman in front of them ordered food for over 20mins. By the time she was done ,8 more customers were standing behind me. Both employees worked with this one woman for over 20 mins. Every other customer was completely ignored. Then when it was finally the next customer's turn there was very little food left. Only chow mein, rice and orange chicken. It is now 8:10 and this employee comes around the corners and says he will not be cooking anymore food. They close at 9:00 and he could have cared less that people waited 1/2 hr. There were at least 10 very upset customers. The owner of this establishment better remedy the cook's attitude. You will be out of business soon. When I arrived home I was greeted with burned orange chicken, very soggy chow mein and mushy prawns. Really pathetic service and food. read more

I would like to leave a 0 star review but I cant... this was the worst experience I have ever had at Panda Express. The manager Edgar or idk what his name is I don't even remember bc he pissed me off that much. He was super rude and disrespectful when I forgot my card to pay he asked "what's wrong to broke to pay? There's a goodwill or McDonalds across the street" little does he know I probably make 2x times what he makes a week in a day(all mad bc I asked for more beef broccoli) read more

Panda Express - This is him he wouldn't show his name tag but claimed he was the manager. - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

Garbage !!!!!! Food was over cooked little portions for 9 dollars u get a spoon full of food don't be tricked online with the small side it's big enough for your two year old we ended up taking our food back the manager there is garbage !!!! I will not be ordering from here again read more

Good price, fast and friendly service, and no pressure to tip pre-set percentages like most other business do.

This location messed up my door dash item twice. Waited an hour each time only for it to show up completely wrong.

This Panda has always been pretty good. Lately it has slid way down hill. There's a limited menu and some of the menu items just don't even look or taste like they should. Hopefully someone will perk up this Panda... read more

We eat at Panda probably once a week (it's my toddlers favorite restaurant). Is the food good? Yes! Is the service good? It depends! We usually get the family meal and half of the time, if I'm not watching over them like a hawk, I get home and open a 3/4 filled container. It's really frustrating as it's not super cheap! With all the extras, I usually end up spending $35-$40. Some of the workers are amazing hence my 3 star review. Just make sure you don't go during rush hours (noon-1pm) or after 5pm or you will be stuck in some knarly lines. read more

Food is decent. Garbage piled up and overflowing from cans out front of restaurant- right next to outside patio dining. Why can't they keep this area clean. Makes we wonder about their kitchen. read more

Panda Express - Garbage piled high and overflowing; attracting flies. - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

Food OK, The help has a hard time understanding English & it makes ordering difficult.

Much better this time, the Panda I'm used to. Had the super greens and Beijing beef. Delightful

I understand this is the nearest panda but come on the prices for so little damn portions is not justified staff is careless too

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Terrible service and food tasted like cardboard. Worst Panda Express I've ever had, PERIOD.

I went there 07-23-2022 when I asked a server he told me different price but when they charged me it was something different and when I asked to refund and why they charging me extra they was mad and they was blaming me instead of fix their problem and help me I think employees need training and employees needs to know about Coustomer respect and Coustomer service also employees attitude even manager was there she didn't even came out and tried to talk solve problem that's how they threat their Coustomer i never want to go back again this place went down most bad experience in my whole life at restaurant read more

Panda Express - Paid 12.99 for this plate plate price they advertised is $9.50 - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

Delicious green beans and chicken for reasonable price and quick friendly service! Great location for easy take out after long day of skiing. Will return when we come this way again! read more

Food was nice and fresh, but would have liked more protein and less rice. I had the chicken and mushrooms and enjoyed it until I got to the last bite which happened to be concealing a knuckle. Spring rolls were okay. Service was fast and efficient. My other complaint is that the doors were filthy. At 10:40 in the morning they should not have been that dirty. Not following all the covid guidelines? read more

The majority of customers did not wear a mask and were not told to do so. The ice maker was not working, instead there was a bowl with ice cubes. The food was reasonable, had better in other Panda Express locations. read more

Bad service, food burned, place very dirty . I asked the worker if he cleaned my table and he said no, wow, don't come here.

The food at this location is acceptable but the stuff is rude and it is not just one person or shift. Recently I happened to order lunch there for two days in a row, and every time was mistreated by the same person. I can share details to the management if they contact but in short it looked like that: I am coming to the counter and the person on another end talks fast through the mask so I could not understand a word so I needed to ask for pardon to repeat. I asked for chow mein with orange chicken and for the second choice I asked to wait since there were a few people in the line in front of me and other entry choices were around the corner. When I told my choice, he already put into my plate double orange chicken and closed it, and took extra box to give me my second choice. I asked to replace double chicken orange chicken and my second choice. He initially protested and pretended he did not understand me due to my mask ... obviously just mocking me for my initial complain about his mumbling though the mask. Next day even worse, he has over charged me and did not put any sauce into the bag. When I came back and asked to resolve the issue with a payment, he was arguing, the receipt had 2 "chow main" sides though I ordered and got just one, then he said there was also extra charge of $1.25 for shrimps which I never been charged before and it was not even on their top menu on walls. He said that it is not on the menu but it is shown behind the glass at the counter for individual choices and then suggested that I have to remove my glasses to see that!? It may all sound funny but in reality all extremely rude. The last thing I would expect is to get my day ruined by attitude like that for nothing when I just come for 30 min to eat my lunch at this place. This is just one example as there were many more. This place is mismanaged, they never cook on time, always lines and delays especially when there is a Spanish speaking shift in place. In my opinion there is a room to start a new business and make it better for people but this place just needs to be close it is a shame. I've been in other Panda Express locations and never had such issues. read more

The food was cold the only thing that was hot was the cream cheese ragoons. The people were also rude. Save your money and find another place to go. The orange chicken didn't taste the same it tasted like the sauce was watered down read more

Love the food. It seems that they have to make a fresh bowl of food every time I order. If it is empty then make it, not wait.

This location is a mess. Especially this employee, pictured below (watch out), was on his phone most of the time we were in there and then goes on to mistreat us and other customers. He is lazy and a bully. I asked for a few extra pieces of orange chicken and was harshly rejected -- it had been sitting there meanwhile tons of food was out, see my photo! This behavior and power trip is disgusting. You're lucky to have a job during these times! Fix this. read more

Panda Express - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

This panda serves small portions and does not open on time. This has been a repeated issue.

Place has really gone downhill. Don't know if it's all the restaurants in the chain but the serving sizes keep going down and down. I got half friend rice and half chow mein, the amount of chow mein I got was hysterical. I should have said something having had to wait 20 min in line since there was only one person serving. I'll pick and choose to eat here next time by who's behind the counter or simply just skip on it all together. read more

3 stars and no more. Nothing special but not bad. Service was fast and staff was friendly. The place was packed and the food was freshly cooked and rotated /stocked regularly. Wish I could give them more but just can't. Beef was tough but had good flavor, chow Mein was a bit under cooked and the orange chicken was just plain (just Ok according to my husband) $7.75 for two entrees and one side. Probably the least expensive lunch in Truckee. read more

This place is a joke it's a chain so that's what to expect the server was rude so I just walked out not a place I would ever go back too they think money grows on trees never again this is a tourist hospitality service no need for rudeness read more

Exterior of this location is very tastefully done, brick and wood paneling make it fit in with the rest of the area. Inside was very clean. Big selling point is a great outside deck with over a half dozen tables. It is surrounded by beautiful woods and catches the afternoon sun, a spectacular venue to enjoy an egg roll in. Surprisingly this location still uses styrofoam to-go containers instead of compostable ones like some other locations use. The Kung Pao chicken also had a little less kick than other Pandas. On the positive side, they were open on Labor Day. On the down side, they were a little understaffed and the line took quite a while. They also didn't give me a fortune cookie, which was a disappointment. read more

Panda Express - View from the patio. - Chinese Near Me - Truckee, California

It's panda express. It's (kinda) cheap, chinese fast food. When you're hungry for chinese that you just KNOW isn't going to be very good for you but have that craving - this is the place. This Panda Express in Truckee is very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful (my daughter lost her phone here and the staff helped her look for it). One thing to note if you order the kids meals it comes with as much low mein as a normal meal and just one entree. Great for kids OR adults that don't eat a lot as you'll save some $$$. read more

My family was in the area for the MLK weekend. We purchased 4 meals for 3 adults and 2 children (aged 4 and 7). The two children ate 1 meal each and was still hungry. The 3 adults had to cook other things to go with the 2 remaining meals. Other locations fill the containers full and almost overflowing. This location doesn't even fill to the top of the bottom container portion. its not wonder that at 5"i0pm on a Saturday evening this location isn't busy. Locals know better than to come here. read more

It's Panda Express! You get what you expect! However this one is slightly cleaner than most and the food tastes of higher quality and fresher than other chains! Would love to come back and I definitely recommend this one! Friendly staff too! read more

It's Panda. I live out over the summit, and this is a guilty pleasure of mine when I need to do a shopping trip. 4 total chairs for your 5 outdoor tables is pretty ridiculous though, covid or not. There's a hardware store right across the street that sells patio chairs.... read more

Went in today, Christmas Eve. Some dumbass employee told me what options were gluten free, but after consuming some of these items I became seriously ill. I knew it was from my food allergy, so I looked it up online at their website and this a-hole was full of crap! None of the items I ate were gluten free! Now I'm spending Christmas Eve sick as hell because of his dumb @ss!!! Un-friggin-believable! These flare ups cause damage it my intestines!! Food allergies are serious! You can kill someone, stupid!!! Edit: they privately replied to ask me what happened. I told them in detail and asked for a possible refund. They won't reply now, not even an apology! Fabulous customer service--Ugh Update: They eventually refunded my debit card. read more
