Great Panda Express in a very bad area of Escondido. There is a lot of gang violence , people getting arrested, and homeless around the restaurant so be careful.Staff is very friendly and nice, food is always great and a very clean restaurant. They are very busy with the door dash orders and long drive thru line .
My experience today was awful, I am big fan of panda until 10 m ago. It was 8:45pm. I don’t have car ,I walk to the door was closed lady came and did ask me to use the drive way and order from the window after waiting between cars “like donkey”. My turn came and the lady was saying you can’t order from here. I was trying to tell her that I was at the front door and you guys did ask me to come to the car’s window. I didn’t get an answer. I got left waiting for any kind of assistance but no body got back to me. I left shocked +mad+ very very Embarrassed. What made me more mad is on the map it says dine in is open.I gave it one star coz it was the lowest rating I can do.
Probly been atleast a year since I have frequented a panda expresss, but it was my coworker turn to pick our lunch destination and panda is what he suggested. I was totally down. So I was 3rd in line of which went pretty quick. This short, super cute in my opinion Asian woman helped me with my order, she served adequate portions, and was very polite. I ordered chow mein, orange chxn, walnut shrimp, chxn egg roll and a large drink that seemed a bit to large. Anyhow. I tried to go in the bathroom to wash my hands but couldn't because someone must have been in there holding it hostage with a number two. Lol. So figured my hands looked clean enough and opted to use chopstix instead of a fork. Food tasted great, store was clean, I was somewhat disappointed in my fortune cookie cuz it pretty much was a statement and not a fortune. Lol. None the less I got a good laugh and took before and after photos. Good good. ;)
Sadly, their proportions have gotten dramatically smaller but the food is still good.
Food was very dry! My serving of noodles alone had so many onions and a burnt flavor! Orange Chicken was so dry n sticky not on my favorite list!
The food was horrible but theWoman that was taking our order was very rude and impatient. Never going back!!
Cost to much. Server was lacking any personal personality. Couldn't enjoy the food because of the above.
Nine o clock p.m. is the best time to get food here.This is the best panda express restaurant I have visited.
Portions nice, food perfect.
Always consistent, as you would expect a chain like Panda to be.
