I've never had bad food at any Panda Express before... Until this one! It was horrible! The Spring rolls tasted 6 months old. The shrimp was like rubber, the orange chicken was all gristle, and the chow mein was unedible. I am not making any of this up. It was terrible. I love Panda Express, but there is something very wrong with this one. A waste of $16 on one plate. read more

Came in to order and did not feel greeted more like what do you want in a small blank manner. Could not sample a new product they offer the only option was buy and hope you like it or pick something else not our problem attitude. Only reason I feel they are still open is just that they are the only panda in town. The customer service number was even worse so definitely never getting panda again. Way better mom pop shops out in the world. read more

We came a hour and 15 minutes before they closed. We were told the kitchen was closed and they are no longer making chowmein. What was left was a minimal menu for the main courses. I've loved this chain until we got one locally. I suppose it's the quantity of the staff that makes this location suck! The food is never as good, the service falls short of even decent. What a shame we have an awesome franchise that always sucks. read more

You can't be rude and ruin my order. Foods and drinks are delicious but what the heck! Get mad for asking what sauces are available and forget half my order. This place has terrible service in the drive thru. Walk inside and they're extremely kind but the two guys I see at the drive thru window always have an attitude. read more

Yes, imagine going all the way to Joshua Tree national park, and you see this random Panda Express here. This place was really good for several reasons. 1) the counter was stocked with food at around 6pm. Every dish was loaded. Looked freshly cooked. 2) lots of available parking and lots of available seating areas. 3) staff was friendly, perhaps one of the happier staff at a PE I've been to. 4) bathroom was spotless, and tables and counters cleaned by staff frequently. Wasn't expecting much from a PE, but it was solid. Food fresh, staff polite and happy, place clean. read more

I've been sitting in this drive thru line for 20 minutes. There are only 5 cars ahead of me. When I got to the speaker box, I say I have an online order. The girl says "uhhh ok hold on..." that was 5 minutes ago. She has not returned and the 3 cars still ahead of me have not moved. Meanwhile, 2 guys have been leisurely running trash together instead of supporting production in store the entire time I've been in line. This Panda location suxxxxxxx read more

The wait time in the drive thru was a very long time, but very much worth it!! It seems to me that i received a free "Bigger Plate" in my order. Thank you! read more

They greet you enthusiastically as you enter. Food comes out hot and ready. Clean restaurant and hard working staff. Bathrooms were decent and well stocked. I'd recommend the family meal for the best price. Also, they have outlets available too. read more

The service at the drive-thru today was not the best. The skinny girl didn't even say thank you. She acted like she was bored and didn't want to work. 11:50am read more

Went in on a Sunday ( 01/25) at around 1:30 and have no complaint. Food was good. The dining area was being cleaned up by one of the associates. The front staff was very polite and kitchen said welcome when we walked in. Honestly don't understand the hate , if it's a busy day then yea there's going to be a wait in drive thru. There was a line where we got there but they handled it pretty quickly. read more

They get a 0 stars for customer service they denied me food because I was at the drive thru trying to order food on a lunch break and they were taking forever at the drive thru the person in front was there waiting for At least 7 minutes then I pull up and same they tell me to wait there was only 2 cars including me at the drive thru how busy can you be? Then because instead of me waiting for her to introduce herself i blurted out my order then she tells me to wait again comes back and tells me she's denying my service SERIOUSLY?? Then I try and go inside to talk to the manager and again they tell me to wait because she's cooking now my lunch is over and still I got no food!! I'll call customer service also since nobody has time for customers read more

I have been ordering Teriyaki Chicken From Panda Express It has been very good, and a Generous Serving. Lately They have not been including the Teriyaki Sauce with the Meal. How can it be Teriyaki Chicken Without Teriyaki Sauce it is only Grilled Chicken.. read more

Bruh f that hoe kitty! So rude for no reason giving attitude AND gave us really low portions too. Gmfu

I entered this establishment on a dreary day . Took one step in and came to on the ground. Wet floors with sign not visible. Then the employees rushed to get a carpet out of a closet and quickly placed it where I slipped and fell. Their actions speak for themselves. Horrible experience and this was all because they messed up my window order and I had to go back. read more

I ordered 2 sides and with rice and chow mein. They didn't even fill the plate at all with anything. When I asked about it. They said it is the new containers. But you can clearly see there's not enough food in this container. The chicken had no flavor. She was very rude as well. These kids now a days read more

Went through the drive thru Ordered a plate with half and half with chow mien and white rice and shrimp and orange chicken. They gave me a plate with only FRIED rice, shrimp, and orange chicken. They didn't give me my chow mien or my white rice!! read more

I usually like this place because I can get veggies and high protein entrees in a drive thru. Today I ordered a family meal over an hour ahead of the time. I got there and no one was working other than the cook and drive thru. No customers inside at all. My order had not even been started. I had to wait almost half an hour before it was finally ready. They had to cook the veggies. The whole reason I ordered ahead was so they had time to cook everything of they needed to. They just weren't checking for online orders. read more

Service has been pretty quick, even if they're cooking fresh Orange Chicken. I enjoy their varying entrées and being able to choose brown rice. This location is usually pretty clean unless they're super busy serving and people don't buss their own trash. The only thing I don't care for is their veggie side with kale. It's too bitter. read more

Went to panda last night; we were behind a large group( high school team) , and a few other people. The guy directly ahead of us was really nice or really smart- he let us go ahead of him.l, and He ended up getting his food before we did!! Someone directly behind us complained about the service they received, and the whole crew forgot about us and stood there listening to them instead of getting our order. They remade our order and made it wrong. I won't ever go there if it's busy, they are incapable of handling a large crowd. We did get an order of broccoli free( from the complainant 's order) , but it wasn't worth the wait. read more

I'm not sure what a fair review is for this establishment. The waiting time in the drive-through was not long and the staff was beyond friendly. Our family size order was prepared quickly and everything tasted very good. My only qualm with this experience is that the beef and broccoli I ordered had less than an ounce of beef in it. I counted the very small bite sizes and had a total of five. If I had to give a comparison to the size of the beef slices a nickel would be an appropriate comparison. So based on cost versus what I received there was no value. Three stars for the amazing staff rather than giving two stars for the product. read more

Really just disappointed with the night crew at panda the foods always good to me don't get me wrong but I've gone 2 times this last month and once again tonight and they always some how mess up my order or forget something out of my order this is the second time I didn't get my cheese rangoons really just losing money from this place lol read more

Amazing food! usually very quick service even if a little understaffed.. but its always hot and they have delicious chow-mein. definitely recommend the watermelon mango refresher! very chill and sweet employees, nice lighting :) read more

I sat for over 1 minute at the drive thru speaker waiting for someone to acknowledge me as I sat in the drive thru. I had to yell out "hello" until finally he came on the speaker to say "I will be right with you". I waited another 5 minutes at the speaker until I finally yelled out "hello? Are you guys open?" And I received no response at all. It was 2pm in the afternoon. 1 vehicle was ahead of me sitting at the pick-up window. The employee "Alan" at the drive thru needs to learn how to communicate! My time is precious and I was waiting for over 7 minutes at the speaker in the drive thru! That's unacceptable! I had to REVERSE out of the drive thru!!! read more

I ordered the Black Peoper Angus steak bowl. As you can see I got it via drive thru (through, for you grammar-nazis). As you can see the drive-thru Panda kit comes with everything you need to successfully feed your face; a main dish, fortune cookie, fork, napkin and complementary soy sauce. First, the meat and vegetables are real and are much better quality than I expected from the fast food genre. Also it didn't have a bunch of filler mushrooms to take the place of the steak. That is great because holy shitaki, I hate mushrooms! I got the steamed rice, which seems to be an instant rice. Thankfully it was all moist, no dehydrated crunchy pieces. The bowl was probably 60% rice, so if you want more flavor I'd get the fried rice or chow mein. The fortune cookie provided sound windows (see the photo). Over I'd recommend stopping by with some friends or someone you've been dating for at least 6 months. read more

Mixed veggies instead of noodles was too much for their system of 2-3 cooks. The person I ordered from yelled to the cook to cook veggies and customer waiting. After 15 minutes I went back and said give me rice instead. So much for eating more veggies. There was 1 person paying ahead of me so it wasn't busy. It wasn't just me being hangry behind a big crowd of orders. Also they didn't give me my drink cup after paying. I didn't say anything getting my food. So they missed 2 chances to give me the cup. I had to remind them...make the prices lower if I have to think more than the staff are about cooking my food and giving me a cup. Suggestion: leverage all the yelling training and in addition to yelling hello and what to cook they double down and yell what's missing if it hasn't gotten cooked after 10 minutes and yell to the customer hey we messed up and want to give you X for making you wait LOL read more

The food counter is clean and nice. The store and the restrooms are both very clean. Employees who serve food and at the register are friendly and efficient. We really enjoy our lunch here. read more

They did not give teriyaki sauce 0/10 put teriyaki sauce next time and they took 40 minutes to get here when the Panda Express is 5 minutes away read more

Disappointing. First, they need to find someone who knows how to cook rice properly--both the white rice and the fried rice we got here was way too dry. The beef with broccoli was bland, with meat that I wished was cooked a little longer. String beans also seemed undercooked. The orange chicken and the chow mein were all right, though, and the staff was friendly and efficient. read more

Came here late night an hour before closing. A lot of the times we visit places close to closing time employees aren't happy to see you. Not the case here the Employees were Awesome, friendly, and super helpful! We got a family meal and most of our order was made fresh because they were out. They could have easily said were out of that. Nope they made everything hot and fresh for us. This is by far the BEST Panda we've been to in a long time! Exceptional Service way to go Panda Express! Thanks for a great family meal:) We will be back again for sure! read more

What's in this photo you ask?, it's a damn HAIR! I really enjoyed the lady by the name of Nelyda B great costumer service. She's not the one who served it, it was some tall dude but comn' cooks or servers. Respectfully, MORE hairnets, less hats while indoors especially while serving or cooking customers food. A waste of food honestly, wasted 20+ $ and for what? To go straight to the trash, who knows if my daughters or spouse or even mine alone had more hair/s in it, it was someone with short hair clearly. Step it up panda don't slack off. The cherng family wouldn't be too happy with this. I went there at 6:04pm on 3/2/2024. read more

4/13/24 4:30pm. We are weekenders in Parker az. Frequent Orange County to Parker every few weekends and take Joshua tree route to stop with the kids for food. Hardly any of the items were avail or ready and it wasn't even crowded. Had to wait a bit as well as others. The entire crew is very rowdy, extremely loud shouting and all young looking. Many of them shouting and joking with each other, cussing very loudly. One guy was playfully arguing with his buddy and kept saying "that's bullsh*t" to whatever they were talking about. They call the customers "boss" which is strange. Kept hearing them drop cooking utensils on the ground. Now I know panda isn't a fancy restaurant, but wow I would expect it to be a bit more professional. It's like a hang out zone and the workers are in party mode. I guess that's what you'd expect from Joshua tree/29 palms area read more

Too salty and no provided sugar , can you be any cheaper ? Pass on this place . Didn't fill the bowl full.

Got a metal wire thing (might be something they use to wash dishes?) from the milk tea. read more

Okay guys, how hard is it to fuck up fried rice. Order was undercooked and crunchy. I get that we live in Yucca Valley where help is hard to find and harder to get quality, or at least passable, work and food. This falls completely on the managers, or lack of them. Get your shit together. read more

2nd attempt eating here...why do I keep trying? Drive-thru takes forever. Went inside, was understaffed. Employee working the register came to serve me without first washing her hands, nor did she put gloves on. This is a health violation. An older employee finished my order...not before spilling food outside the hot plate & putting it back!...then proceeding to pick up other spills and throwing it in the trash, slow as molasses, before returning to me. Terrible customer service practices = terrible management. Do better. read more
