As a franchise Panda Express is okay when it comes to food if you want a quick meal to go, but it’s not as cheap as it used to be. At this location however, I got food poisoning from one of their meals. I called their location and requested a refund for the order and they hung up on me. Don’t eat here unless you’re willing to pay $12 for the stomach bug with a side of fried rice.

I’d like to state a few things that made my experience here not so great. Ordered food for my family 5 , we had to wait 10 min for our food. They forgot one of my cub meals Another thing was the manager was extremely rude not helpful at all and very hostile towards her employees Lastly before paying I asked if the drinks we purchased had FREE refills as some food locations at the malls do, the employee who charged me said specifically “ For the cub drinks yes , and for the regular S it’s 54c”. I go to get my refill for the cub it was given to me! I order 3 cub drinks and after one of the kids wanted a refill I went and Now I have to pay the 54c for a cub drink that’s not even the size of the regular S which is the same refill price ? They misinformed me with this and that frustrating to deal with but again that little manager was on a serious POWER TRIP. Not someone you should have as a leader. Very bad experience I won’t be returning

There is an elderly male employee at this shop with an absolutely terrible attitude. When I went to pick up a customer's order, I had never encountered such an incompetent staff member; he couldn't even make sense of the order details, and his demeanor was extremely rude. I hope the store manager takes steps to properly address this elderly employee's conduct. Needless to say, I will never set foot in this shop again.

Very little meat with old rice and noodles! I have to say that it was a huge mistake for me to choose this Chinese restaurant over other fast food restaurants in the food court. I ordered a honey and sesame chicken and it was awful! The chicken as advertised as breast meat, but it had very little real chicken meat, but very sweet and sugar coated with a thick layer of flour and fried, hard to chew pieces of small " chicken "! The worst thing is that when I asked for a cup of plain, tap water, they refused but to force me to buy a 2$ bottle water instead. I am Chinese and I am very disappointed about this Chinese fast food restaurant. It has deteriorated and become a very greedy and unhealthy, poor quality of food restaurant. I certainly will not go back to any of this fast food, Chinese restaurant again, so do you.

Orange chicken was hard. I told the lady she tried to make the excuse it was the breading. I go to the one in Baldwin Park all the time and theirs are always soft and very good!
