Opinions de Panda Express Santa Monica
I love their slight remodelled interior and it's always been a pleasure coming here! The Panda Express has always been my occasional go to and their employees are very kind, often tired from working so hard! They do a great job tho, I don't know how they manage to pull through some tough shifts around heat lamps all day! I do recommend coming here for a tray of tasty noodles, rice, and a good assortment of entree options like their classic orange chicken or broccoli beef or something like that! Wonderful restaurant!
They are always busy .. line out the door! They do their best with moving the line quickly. The restaurant is shared with a Mexican restaurant and bakery inside. They look good too! The sitting area is pretty cozy and small. The customer need to clean up after themselves. This is fast food where you pick up after yourself!
Fast service despite the consistent lunchtime line. Hot food.
I never would have gone here if it weren't for my son but I tried it a few times and the food is always very fresh and they have many options that are not fried/greasy. I get a large carton of fried rice at least once a week, it's the best deal in town. I also recently catered a large event with them and Maria did an excellent job of getting everything ready--the food was very good!
Great customer service. Cindy and Claudia were super helpful and very nice
The ladies are amazing and they make the best veggies! 🥦 YUM! So if you walk into the establishment and can’t decide if you should order the left or right, pick Panda. It won’t disappoint! Pandas food pics accurately portray what you will be served or better, can’t say the same abt their neighbor.
Had a great experience at this location! Steaming hot food and friendly staff. Highly appreciated after a long day at work and not wanting to cook at home. Was pleasantly surprised since I came within an hour of them closing. Thank you.
Cindy E that works here is one of the best food service workers ive come across ever. Does her job perfectly, greets u kindly as u enter and promptly asks u if your picking up an online all while dealing with a difficult customer as well very kindly. She deserves a raise!!!
Delicious
Delicious!
Awesome local spot :)
Guadalajara style of Tacos, gorditas and sopes so delicious and prices is unrivaled low
Delicious tacos, sopes, vampiros, gringas, lorenas (golden cheese with any meat you like) and more!!! They have packages at a fair price!! Order any meat you want: asada, pastor, arrachera... 🤤🤤🤤 and accompany it with salsa, onion, cilantro, picodegallo with nopales and a few drops of lemon. The place is clean and the service is good. Something I appreciate is that they have flavored waters and you don't have to settle for soda. Access is via stairs and the bathrooms have limited access, so I don't recommend it for wheelchair access. However, in the front, where the register is, you can place your order to go and they have a variety of salsas for self-service.
Excellent service, great Mexican food
delicious.. a variety of salsas. handmade tortillas at the moment.. well served tacos!
Delicious!
One of the few gems you feel like your cheating on your wife, and, surprisingly, she’s fine with it! Cause, she’s into your sweet, sweet kinky buffoonery and her orange chicken delights. Mhm. Can’t get enough of them chow mein, brown rice option, white, 2-item entrees combo—my goot, those intoxicating “crack-cocaine” aromas—someone must be working from inside the DEA and it, Panda, that sultry, spicy, Beijing fill-in-the-blank, running a Monopoly of in her—low key, their eggplant tofu is the bong. 😎
This restaurant always keeps their food counter well-stocked and I rarely find them out of anything. The spring rolls are always very good. They do a lot of business and have very little seating. Some days the food tastes better than others, depending on how busy they are affecting how much cooking time they have.
Ok
I’m getting tired of being bullied into donating. I said not today when I asked, and the guy was like well. It’s only a few cents and I said no I’m not going to do that. I used to do it sometimes but after this particular time now. Plus their food is mostly not good for you so not worth the hassle.
The food is decent, nothing out of the ordinary. In my opinion, the price is high compared to other places. They have a toppings bar, and it's good, but when I went, they were almost out and didn't refill it. The staff is friendly and attentive.
2 stars onlyy because the food was decent.. I waited about 30 minutes for my food. They told me it'd be 8 minutes until one of the entrees was ready, when it took more like 20. There was maintenance going on during this, which was kicking large amounts of dust into the air (and probably the food) and was insanely loud. The first staff member I spoke to was rude and avoided my questions. Trash was overflowing, bathroom was dirty.
I do not recomend this place, They have a very few food items. They never have the dishes ready, I always have to wait 15min for them to prepare when Im on my 30min lunch break. Been there 4 times and its still a problem.
Not awful, but definitely not the normal quality of most Panda Expresses. Lo mein was dry, the orange chicken had little flavor and was overcooked, the Beijing beef was pretty good and the fried rice was ok. Not bad in a pinch, but don’t recommend if you’re expecting what you get from other Panda Express locations
Serving containers keep getting smaller and smaller yet the prices are getting bigger and bigger. No longer a good value. Very limited selection too. I had to wait 45 minutes to get brown rice. Whole foods and other restaurants are better value and higher quality food at a cheaper price than panda express. Parking lot is very small and limited Disappointing experience overall.
It used to be my favorite taco place, but after my last visit, I have no desire to go back. My companion and I went around 5:00 pm. When we arrived, there was only one table eating. The waitress and the grill staff were friendly when they greeted us. We sat down and our order was taken. We ordered two packages of a gringa and a horchata agua fresca for $92. I ordered a mixed version and my companion ordered adobada. When the gringa arrived, it was an average-sized hand-made tortilla, even smaller than a regular tortilla. The portion of meat and cheese was good. They made a mistake with me because they brought me a grilled gringa, but they fixed it. But what I find UNACCEPTABLE is that, despite being a proper establishment, they serve the food on plates covered with plastic bags. I would understand if they were a taco stand, just a cart, and that's it, they would serve their food like that, but they are an establishment. Our drinks hadn't arrived at our table; the waitress had forgotten them... I understand that can happen, but there were only two tables, and the other table away from us had already paid the bill; she was just hanging around after dinner. Anyway, I asked for our drinks, and when they arrived, they came in disposable cups (again, unacceptable). They were small cups with more ice than water, and the horchata water didn't even taste like horchata 😢. We tried to use the salt shaker, and it was disgusting, super dirty. After we finished the gringa, we wanted to order something else, but the waitress never came over to our table to ask if anything else was available. She didn't even pay attention from a distance; she kept her back to us the whole time. When we finally ordered an extra taco and it was brought to us, instead of using the plate with a plastic bag we already had, they brought us another plate covered in a plastic bag again, and again, the wrong thing I ordered was brought to me… so it's obvious they lack communication between the waitress and the grill owner. The grill owner was clearly upset because they had already gotten the order wrong twice, and it showed. In the end, our bill for 2 gringas, 2 tacos, and 2 waters was $268. I think it's quite expensive because the price isn't well justified. The place looks messy, they serve you food in plastic bags, the water is very ugly with more ice than water, and it's served in disposable cups. The salt shakers are too dirty, they have more disposable ones on the table, and they're placed in a cup where everyone can handle them. I hope this review raises awareness about the use of disposable items and plastics and the pollution they're generating. I truly find this unacceptable and reprehensible. The service needs to improve dramatically.
The gringa dish is lacking in the slightest charm, you have to find the meat and cheese. The Lorena doesn't have a cheese crust; it has a watery stain of semi-burnt cheese stuck to the plastic wrap they put on the plates. Two types of soda. They need a little bit of neighborhood flavor. Honestly, grim.
Clean place, nice staff. They gave me clearly old vegetables for super greens. Smelled way off. See photo.
Came 1 hour before closing and they have nothing! Almost No entries at all. No orange chicken, no beef, no shrimps, no chow mein , etc. When I asked when orange chicken will be ready I was told “Soon!”. Very “Nice” fast food business. The staff was rude. PS. They made orange chicken 10 minutes later after I complained, so you can see it on picture, cause I came back later to take pictures.
This is what it looks on the food. 1. The taste of the chowmein like burn 2. Small portions of orange chicken 3. More brócoli than meat 4. Long waiting lines for only 2 people on duty 5.no receipt So I thought it was going to be free and always donate $1.00 like they forcing you.!
I entered this restaurant on Lincoln blvd and Montana in Santa Monica to buy some lunch at noon time 12/20/2023. I stood in line and the server helped the person behind me. I let her know that I'd been waiting line. She makes some comment about a station I should 've been standing in. Her comment was total hogwash. All service should be first come first serve. I've been a customer at this location for a while now and never heard of any station in the line. This is very unprofessional. I re-enter this restaurant today 01/25/24 and after waiting in line for more than 15 minutes, I am told that the lunch of my choice isn't available now and won't be ready for another 5-7 minutes. The management here is very very incompetent.
They forgot to put my egg rolls in the bag so I called and left my name. When I came in the next time I requested the egg rolls that I paid for and never got and they refused me! More importantly the food here is served totally stale toward the end of the night. The orange chicken isn't prepared right either theres barely any orange sauce detectable and its dry and way overcooked. Never been to a panda this bad I hope they get it together because it was great the first week it opened.
Had some tacos there, super sick this morning. I know it was there because I've been cooking all my food since I got here.
I wanted to pick up my tacos but they never answer the phone
