I'd give zero stars if I could! Horrible service! First of all you won't get what you pay for! Second of all they'll have your food ready and wait 20-25 mins before they check you out the food gets cold! I went two days ago and people were pissed off at how bad the service was. It's not even they didn't have enough staff they had 3 people in the back cooking. One at the register and three plus the manager making plates. Yet they still had food backed up. The guy next to me asked me of my food was ready I said yes it's been ready for like 15 mins now. He informed me his was ready too but they wouldn't check him out. The restaurant had at least 15 people waiting by the register for food. Total 30 people without exaggeration. read more

Waited over 45 minutes for my online Order when it has said it would be ready in 15 minutes. This has happened 3 - 4 times already. Tonight my dinner was just a small side of beef and broccoli. It should be called broccoli and beef. What a joke. 2 pieces of beef and the rest broccoli! read more

Panda Express - Beef and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Turlock, California

This place seriously needs new management. Assembly line serving and staff has no clue how to keep it moving. Waiting in line for 30 minutes got old so I used the app to order ahead. Order was supposed to be ready at 6pm, got food at 6:20. It was utter chaos. 7 people waiting like me for app orders and the line for regular people needing to order was beyond backed up and not moving. read more

I ordered a combo meal and a drink for delivery. I got the food, but no drink. The driver apologized, but said the restaurant didn't give him the drink -- nothing he can do about it. I called the restaurant and was put on hold only to eventually be told no one was available -- please use their website. Twice. I called their extension for a new order. The person who eventually answered offered to transfer me to the number they are too busy to answer in order to process a refund. Pathetic! read more

Went in way before the lunch rush, and was told they had not made some of the items in my order and would be 10 minutes....34 minutes later I finally got my order as the server kept giving all the items in my order to customers that came in after me so she was always out of 1 or 2 items.....This place needs to NOT OPEN THEIR DOORS IF THEY CAN NOT SERVE FOOD!!!! read more

Okay, this place is not that bad! Many of the bad reviews are due to long wait times. Well, by now everyone should know that this place is busy, so why go when you're in a hurry?? Unless you're from out of town, you know there is going to be a long line. The employees are all working together and doing what they can for the guests. That's what I have seen every time I've been in there. I understand that the food is not always up to par, but you can't expect perfection 100% of the time. I give it four stars because my kids and I like the food. For real though, don't think you're going to be in and out in 20 minutes haha. read more

Very nice employees every time I come in here. Greet us very nice while we walked in! All smiles and asked if we wanted a sample. Thanks for the great customer service! read more

Rude. The online order was perfectly clear. Still, they gave us two of one entree item and forgot another one. They also forgot an appetizer completely. We get it, people make mistakes. But, when you have to drive back across town to get it corrected, wouldn't the average customer expect an, "I'm so sorry! Let me fix this for you."? Nope. Rude. "Do not recommend." read more

The regular plate tray is now the size of a kid's meal. Literally took 3 bites of tasteless chow mien and it was all gone. Doesn't make sense to me that the prices have gone up with less food being given. The staff here are some of the rudest/incompetent workers I've ever seen in any food place. The one time you decide not to donate your change they basically laugh at you (who knows if they donate it to charity anyway). Lastly the lines are ridiculously long with ppl basically grinding on you even though they should be 6ft apart. read more

Usually I don't like posting low reviews. I've never had a nice time here really. The employees hate their lives, which is fair they are always busy with no help. read more

Worse Panda Express ever... especially during this whole Pandemic.. you guys literally have to focus on just your carry out orders only since your not dealing with customers in your dine-in & cant even get your orders right. So its not common sense to put teriyaki sauce in the bag with the Teriyaki chicken especially upon request with other sauces and getting all Broccoli & one piece of beef with my beef & broccoli, not to top it off food was cold as shit.. really need to get your shit together Panda, this is ridiculous. read more

I made an online order at 12:51 it said my food would be ready by 1 oclock. I didnt get my order until 1:15. it took 10 minutes for someone to talk to me by than my foods not even hot read more

Seriously. Take your business some where else. They have terrible leadership, lousy team/ time management. Can't even know the order of peoples name /number. I had to wait in the line twice for almost 45 mins and people come. I wanted to ask for refund and employees avoiding me and dismissing me. read more

This place is terrible, I was lied to from the lady taking orders on a sticky note pad that there was no more teriyaki chicken for the rest of the night, mind you this is 5:30, as soon as I sit down they bring out a fresh order of teriyaki chicken, not willing to let me change my order, they acted like I was invisible standing at the counter. not to mention the orange chicken was soggy, never coming here again, they are far more concerned about door dash orders than they are patrons eating at the establishment read more

please don't waste your time going to this panda express. Sacrifice going somewhere else because this is by far the worst panda express in the central valley and the crew are unprofessional and rude. read more

This is some bullshit ,ordered double broccoli beef and this shit is not double double ,let it slide once but now this is just obvious someone just half asses their job.Legit one side was just broccoli,and nothing of beef , ordered it not even that long from when they opened. read more

Been going to Panda for some time at various locations, including Turlock, Santa Nella and Gilroy. The food is most often good the portions are good and the prices are fair, the locations are clean and the staffs are good. However I was never able to connect that when I ordered and ate certain dishes I would have some gastro issues after. So I did a little research and discovered the reason. Or at least in my opinion the reason or source of my discomfort. As it turns out Panda uses MSG or monosodium glutamate (The symptoms myself and others including friends have had are consistent with MSG and it's use) and in my investigation in large amounts in some dishes, Orange Chicken for one. So I did a little experiment and did not eat the Orange Chicken and low and behold no gastro issues, yea! I do enjoy the food and believe it is a good value. However it would be great if Panda would consider a no MSG option for some of us that are sensitive to this product and it's use. I give three stars for the following reasons 1. The food is good 2. The prices are fair 3. It's not Pandas fault some of us are sensitive to MSG many are not. I do hope in the future Panda will offer this option so myself and others can enjoy the entire menu. read more

Man... I have gone here forever. I'm so sad to say the past few times I've ordered, the food has tasted like a rubber glove, and the portions are sad. This current order I can see the bottom of the container on both sides where my entrees should be. I can count only 9 pieces of chicken for a 2x order of entree. Extremely upset, I will not be going to this panda express again. read more

Over the years this Panda Express has gone down hill. My last few visits were sooo annoying. You order your food and as you are in line waiting for your order to be filled they are filling online orders as YOU WAIT. Not sure who told them this was the way you run a restaurant but it's not! I literally watched them fill my plate, box it and lush it down the line only for it to sit there while they filled online orders... I don't get it?! And they constantly are running out of food and don't refill it until someone asks for it and then it takes over 20 mins to get it... rude ass employees who act like they are doing you a favor.. done with this location. read more

Arrived at panda at exactly 9:45 today. (Saturday, Feb. 6) Store hours said they closed at 10 & their yelp says they close at 10:30. Figured I had plenty of time to order food. As I'm walking to the store from my parked spot, I saw that they refused service to more than one different customer. They were already wiping all the counters down & were huddled talking. I don't mean to be THAT customer but if corporate says that you close at 10 pm., then that's when you close the store and stop helping customers. NOT 15 minutes before when you could have made the store more money. I'm pretty sure corporate wouldn't have liked it if they knew that you guys stopped serving food to customers 15 minutes before you actually closed to clean. Was craving panda after work & now I'm at home with nothing :( read more

I appreciate you taking my word on the fact I paid for orange chicken and did not get it from my door dasher. It would have been easy to tell me that it's door dashes fault. Customer service goes a long way read more

what can i say the customer service on this specific store is HORRIBLE ! i door dashed a plate from panda for lunch and this store never took my order in , keep in mind the money was deducted right away from my debit but once my dasher went to try to pick my food there was nothing to pick up . My dasher calls me and tells me to verify my order with an employee to make sure my order went through because apparently there was nothing under my name so Im over here waisting lunch time being on the phone trying to talk to an employee to find out where my food went . I call Panda Express (this specific store) about 10 times no one picks up the phone and a little after finally an employee picks up , i immediately tell her my situation with my food , by the way she was super rude all she said was " uh huh ok ill look for your food" and hanged up on me. I tried returning the call 20 times and no one picked up . So i pretty much had no lunch that day , Luckily door dash has amazing customer service i canceled my order and they refunded me right away . This place is a joke ! Employees here need better training with customer service. Don't even think about dashing here unless you want your food to go missing. The lack of professionalism is unreal !! Never buying food from here again ! Do better. read more

So I was here a few nights ago and overheard the cashier telling a cashier that they had no change and if it was ok to round their total up to the next dollar. Total BS! I understand the county is having a change shortage but don't rip off customers to benefit yourself! They are prob making bank off everyone's change when they should be rounding down! read more

Completely garbage ordered from here twice and both times the food came out tasting old the orange chicken was very hard and literally my teriyaki chicken had like a leather texture to it and the manager Will is no help read more

I'm pretty used to the online ordering with panda and it has been mostly consistent up until this point. I ordered a plate for myself and a friend, I order half chowmeim/half white rice, with teriyaki and orange chicken as my sides. I was disheartened to discover that there was no teriyaki chicken, they even gave me teriyaki sauce. Over all not a good experience. read more

Horrible cashier . Throw the food and tried to talk to the manager and he is not helpful at all. He should not be a manager !

Absolutely ridiculous waited an hour and half for my carry out. And non of the employees cared to check on us. I had to go to them every 20 minutes and they say they would check on it and never come back. If you only worry about ur dine-ins please don't offer ordering online and make ur customers wait read more

Ordered my food for 2:30 an hour prior and didn't get it until 3:30. Absolutely ridiculous.

I am so tired of Turlock chains being so horrible. I have eaten at other Panda Expresses and they have been so much better. Cons: Only veggies entrée is the steamed veggies, which are often underdone. The removed the eggplant dish. If you order ahead, your food will not be ready. It does not matter how long you wait, they will start your order when you arrive and most often after the entire line has gone through, so no advantage in ordering ahead. I ordered several dishes that were okay. They don't really have a chef, but some random teenager working their first cooking job. Also, ordered teriyaki chicken and they did not put in the teriyaki. So, grilled chicken. I also do not like that the men cook and the women serve. I just find it odd. Pros: Pretty cheap for a meal that is hot. And they do fundraisers for the community. However, now I just send money to the club instead of wasting my time at this restaurant that does not have anything I can eat! read more

I ordered online and then waited outside for pickup for an HOUR. The worker was rude and ignored and avoided me while giving out orders for 15 people that ordered after me. I asked if they forgot about my order and the girl said,"No, it's right there, we are waiting for white rice." The least they're could do is offer an alternative side if they must make customers wait an hour for white rice. Poor communication, rude, cold food. The manager then came out and was rude as well. I was late to my next appointment and very unhappy. If I had not paid in advance, I would of walked away. Unbelievable frustrating experience. read more

They deserve zero stars. Unprofessional service. My husband was placing his order, but the ladies didn't understand him or couldn't hear him due to having mask on. So he assumed. Not sure what her excuse was. But he removed his mask alittle bit and she was freaking out about it. He asked for a bowl not a plate of steam rice plus item she was putting only steam rice in a plate. He was trying to correct her but she wasn't have it. Not friendly at all. We understand that we must wear a face mask but if you can't understand what we're saying or you're not putting effort to listen we remove mask a little so you can understand/hear. We're not going to just let you give us what you want to give us if that's not what we're ordering. If having the mask was an issue there's a way to ask a customer to please put your mask back on. Not "you must put mask on or I'm not helping you." The way/tone that you say or ask a customer to do something makes a big difference. We won't be going back there. We were told about how the workers were but we still gave it a try. Highly don't recommend this place. read more

There is a young lady named Angela who's usually serving entrees and every single time I come she's absolutely so rude with zero customer service skills. read more

I believe they call it Panda Express because that's how fast the food travels through your digestive system. I can't hate though - Panda has been a staple of my occasional fast food diet for as long as I remember and is a regular stopover for me when I make trips down the 99. Say what you will about the quality of the ingredients. This is fast food, people, so don't come here expecting free range chicken and organic vegetables. Expect a bare minimum FDA standard resulting in a lot of flavorful and tasty heavily fried meats. The orange chicken is a fan favorite, but I'm more partial to the Kung Pao or the broccoli and beef. Depending on the time of day you may be challenged to find a spot in the parking lot. However, I've never found the wait to be long no matter what time of day. read more

Prefer a catering order 24hrs in advanced they were 30min late. Horrible lost business due to it. Super frustrating

They have the friendliest employees here. I was helped by a young girl named Rosa and she was so friendly and nice when serving me. She definitely deserves recognition, the rest of the staff wasn't as friendly as her. She also spoke Spanish which was very helpful! read more

Second time visiting this location and it'll be my last time. Food taste good but temperature of food didn't meet my expectations. Normally I like to get items that are fresh and at that time the Beijing beef look fresh off the pot but it WASNT it was cold. The main reason why I won't return is the serves "Jenny" was the person who helped with my order and I had to repeat...repeat...over and over about 4times until she heard me correctly! She was rude, was too but listening to other crew members talking instead of listening to me on what I wanted. That location gets really busy which is good for business, I was expected great service because of how crowded it gets but I was wrong. Note to Management: Don't put employees who aren't willing to work behind that counter. Your other staff members are polite and friendly but that day "Jenny" messed it up for the team!!! read more
