  This location is located in the Safeway shopping center near the JC so its very easy to get in & out of. It is a decent size location but can fill up quickly if its a busy night. The staff is alright, no complaints. The line moves quickly. As a vegetarian my only criticism is that eggplant tofu isnt available or isnt always available at this location. The food in general is always good & fresh.
  
  Also random, but because its a store front with large windows & relatively modest sized with one door constantly being opened/closed it seems to get drafty.

  I totally understand if you judge me for eating at Panda Express. My wife judges me for eating there, too. It's not like I eat at Panda with pride, but there is a limit to the number of poké bowls, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and chicken tenders I can eat in this shopping complex. So, Panda was the destination for today's lunch.
  
  Service was relatively fast. I was able to sub out of one of my two entrees for steamed vegetables. Employees literally have to pour the excess water off of the plate once they scoop vegetables onto it. Blargh. At least they were edible.
  
  The fried rice tastes more like the cardboard plate it was served on than anything resembling fried rice. Plus, I don't need an entire pint of rice, okay?
  
  The orange chicken is what I come for. And even then, why? It's just breaded low-quality chicken with a bunch of sugar sauce. I guess it satisfies a craving.
  
  For almost $9, this is certainly neither a good deal nor gourmet cuisine. But alas, it exists and I sometimes eat it.

  As a chain that I know well, you go in hopeful they are all as great as the "one near you", but this one fell short of the mark.
  
  Went in at about ten to ten - and they were due to close in ten minutes, so I ordered quick. I was surprised to see that they had so much food left and figured it must have been a quiet night.
  
  I got noodles and two sides to go, and watched as the server scooped about 14 noodles and half a scoop of each side into my to go dish. Suddenly I'm starting to realize the reason they have so much food left over is because they serve half portions.
  
  I figured if they are about to close (and there's literally no other customers there) I'll ask if she can please make up the portions a little - which she did, with ONE morsel. Come on now....really? You're closing and the food is going to go in the trash and you're holding back on a paying customer. So I laugh and tell her to keep going. At this rate my food is going to be cold before I even leave the shop...
  
  Eventually (after much huffing) I get almost a full portion size and she packs me off with sweet and sour sauce (when I asked for Teriaki) and no napkins...
  
  The icing on the cake was finally getting to eat my food - that not only was lukewarm at best - but also tasted like it had probably been made about 8 hours ago. It was so chewy and dry it really wasn't even edible.
  
  Maybe these guys are better in the daytime, but if you're here at night, save yourself the heartache and go next door to five guys.

  I've been coming here for quite awhile now and  everything has always been alright that I didn't really feel the need to ever write a review. However, today was just out of the norm.
  
  The lady that helped me today was Marilyn. I ordered a bowl of rice and chow mein. I think she couldn't understand or maybe she just heard it wrong but she got me a bowl with rice and orange chicken so of course I told her "sorry, I said chow mein and rice" LOL she rolled her eyes and was ALREADY irritated.
  I'm sorry but it's really not that hard and it wasn't that deep to be instantly annoyed. So, she got another bowl and got chow mein and asked me "so half and half and orange chicken?" I said "no I just want rice and chow mein in a bowl" THIS GIRL literally threw it down and dumped back the chowmein lmao it was so unnecessary. I was actually so confused because this girl was having a hard time giving me RICE AND CHOW MEIN IN A BOWL. Finally, she got a large box then and gave me my rice and chow mein. I'm guessing she was just having a bad day? It was super unnecessary and unprofessional.
  
  I understand that working in fast food can be a little stressful but it's never okay to have an attitude over little things. She could've approached this so differently by simply clarifying my order.
  
  Anyways, I don't think I'll be back because there's really no point to be in a restaurant where employees are rude for no reason.

  Picked up some food to go on the way to visit a friend in Santa Rosa. Consistent with other Panda's we have gone to. Food was  good and cheap compared to going into a Chinese Restaurant. I would go back to this Panda if I was in the area again.
