I am giving 1 stars so that I can write my review.I am speechless to have to find out that they are not the same.Their food is worse than a McDonald.they are bad, they ( Ponda Express has down grade their food quality. As I was walking into this fast food place I noticed that all the other restaurants around there were busy, so I thought it will be the same with this chinise fast food.Exactly at 12:30 pm on a Saturday, I walked in and only a couple is eaten in there, is no body else, at lunch time.So I always think, and tell myself that if there is a lot of people in a restaurant, in this case, it is because they are good.But this time, I just order my food, omg, their noodles were dry and hard to chew, their fry rice was unflavored, it was old, and it did have some pieces of rice that were harder to chew on.Think, they missed their left overs with the new food they cook. In the fry rice there were chunks of over cook white rice that they mixed with the old rice.I think, dog foods taste better than this.Sorry I waisted my money.!

Pretty solid panda. Can get really crowded at lunch but line moves pretty fast. Nice staff but not always the best portions.

Got there at 8:20pm. Almost no food left except the mandarin chicken and 5 pieces of orange chicken. They said they were closing at 9, not 9:30, as they list on Google. The guy there barely acknowledged my existence as I walked in. It wasn't till I asked him when they close that he even looked up at me. And the place was half closed off. I needed to wash my hands and both bathrooms were being cleaned. The turkeys that worked there could've cared less about their customers. They just wanted to go home early. It was a total waste of my time to drive there. Such a disappointment.

I really hate getting ripped off and this Panda Express did just that. “Chicken chow mien”. Really, all I saw were a big pile of noodles—no chicken. I called the manager when I got back to our hotel and read him the hungry man riot act. He said that’s normal. Well, Chase bank didn’t buy into this fraud and I got $21.60 credit. And I really don’t know what I ate. The orange chicken was OK. Not all white meat though.Next time, it’s to Stater Bros or Trader’s Joe for real food.To the manager: CLEAN UP YOUR ACT OR SHUT DOWN THE JOINT.

This location is always a bad experience. New people who are confused and don't know what they are doing . Always empty dishes at 7 pm when people are picking dinner . A long wait to get the dishes cooked and then the employee doesn't plate like she's supposed too. Very little quantity of entrees .Sadly won't ge returning . The Encinitas location and the outlet locations are great .Living in the neighborhood but would prefer to pick from far .

The employee working, likely a teen, was extremely friendly and helpful. So the service was great, but the serving size that I received was very disappointing. I ordered a plate and when I opened it, it was barely filled. The food that I did get was very good. For the sides, I ordered half chow mein and half fried rice, and then for the entrees honey sesame chicken breast and sweet fire chicken breast (my fav).

By far, best service I've received when visiting a Panda Express near me. Definitely recommend Foods always fresh.

You have sweet fired chicken on your menu, but everytime I go there, you have none out! Very disappointing! I was told it was brought back for the summer!!!! Place is clean.

Bro I work near this and love Panda, but I got FOOD POISONING from this place!!! Ive never gotten food poisoning, I only had coffee that morning too. Was throwing up none stop (couple of weeks ago) and my boss was like yeah you def have food poisoning, go home, might need tmrw off too bc that stays in your system for 24hrs. I'm glad my boss is understanding bc not all bosses are this chill if you're feeling sick especially at a law firm when you're job requires daily attention to detail.Ngl the male employees they got there seem as d*** as a rock. I feel like I'm losing brain cells when I'm standing in line watching them work. There will be like 3 ppl in line at 1pm and we have to wait for them to BARELY realize they need to tell the cooks to make more of like 5 diff things. Like dude, you see something low during lunch time you yell to the cooks about it - you don't wait till it's all out, it's not that hard of a concept. And this has happened SEVERAL TIMES, I'd understand if you're having an off day, but I go here a lot, (bc I saw a hot guy once and was hoping to see him again lol bc I left fast out of nervousness when he smiled at me )THEN, they confuse all our plates while we're standing around 15mins waiting during our 1hr lunch break.. drove 5-10mins, some ppl probably have a 30. It's just inconsiderate. Considering this is an area with thousands of professional business offices just tryna get back to their office to work.. How slow and forgetful they are makes me think they forgot to put the meat in the fridge or something and that's how I got sick. Actually gonna report them for investigation with the ca health dept. Bc I work near by and would like this to be fixed tbh. Here's the number to report if you get food poisoning too: (800) 495-3232

Consistently great food at great prices. Really like the Brezzi Ranch location. Always clean and service above and beyond. American style Chinese so expect more sweetness than traditional Chinese food, but it always works for me. Brezzi Ranch is one if the safest neighborhoods in the state so enjoy an after dinner stroll. Plenty of parking. Easy access off of Palomar Airport Road.

I LOVE Panda Express. Which is why this location sucks. We walked in today, and NO ONE was there. There was only 1 employee behind the counter who was on his phone and didn't even look up. We waited by the counter for 10 minutes, no employees other than this guy on the phone was present. They were out of most of their food and what little they had looked like it had been sitting out for a while. Considering we didn't even eat here because no one wanted to help us, I wish I could give this place 0 stars. How can you have a location in a ritzy neighborhood if you have service like this?

Lazy. Lazy. Lazy. Won't lift a finger. Don't go here, especially when only the boys are working. They need more females there who know how to communicate. A manager (shorter man of possible asian descent) hides behind the wall near the start of the line and won't help unless something is said. THE COOK (tall male of possible hispanic descent) LIES. Says he doesn't have the ingredients (eggplant tofu , my favorite dish and the only reason I used to go to this particular P.E. as they are the only one that makes it). For 2 months I got the run around about if they still make the dish or not = each time I went in I got a different answer. Twice I asked for it , and twice the same cook said no (as he was busy leaning on his hands not doing anything). Apparently the cook was less busy than the other workers there who don't seem to listen to anything. Finally the manager says , each time , yes we do have eggplant-tofu. Then the cook gets all butt-hurt that he has to make it.POOR. Honestly I'm surprised by the bad service in such a nice part of town. Maybe those people who work there should go work where customers are more used to poor service? There is one good thing about the place = an outgoing young man of possible northern european descent; he actually listens to you and answers your questions or just gets the job done efficiently (reminds me of someone who works at In-N-Out, you know, that place where they don't LIE to you and they know how to do thier jobs). So this particular Panda is dead to me = never again stepping foot inside. I'll be writing Corporate next. Nobody likes to be LIED to.

This is my To go spot when I don't want to cook! I usually get the family meal and everyone is happy I didn't cook!The food is always fresh and sooo delicious! The people that work there are also nice and are fast even when there is only one person!The establishment is always very clean!

The portion wasn't a lot for what the price is, there's not much in the tray when I got there so I'm assuming that's why but I wish they could add more. The only thing I notice right away is the noodles are a bit dry the fried rice is good and the orange chicken but again it's a small portion what I got for a two item entry. All in all The service was good.
