Panda Express 5407 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, CA 92111

"This is the worst Panda Express I’ve ever been too. Small portions that are heavy on the filler items, bad customer service, even the atmosphere feels kind of sad and dumpy. I even tried the spot more than once to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. I suspect it’s a top down problem - management or the franchise owner cutting corners and breaking the employees’ spirits. Regardless, I recommend looking elsewhere for your Chinese food. Even if you’re set on Panda, I strongly suggest making the drive to a better location."

"Stopped here for a quick dinner on a Saturday night around 20:45. It was not busy at all, and got my order started right away. I did have to wait a few minutes for their Honey Walnut Shrimp, but they brought my order out once it was ready. The food is as expected with the chain. The place seemed clean. The staff did nothing special or show extra energy. This place will still be an option for me if I was in the immediate area and wanted fast Chinese food."

"Way too many vegetables or filler in the food. I'm a former chef and a lot of vegetables are added to the entrees, more than meat. Broccoli and Beef should not consist of 80% broccoli. Mongolian should not be 80 vegetables. Vegetables are to compliment the entree, not completely replace the meat. Towards the closing time almost everything is out. I think proportioning the cooking so you have food until you close is more appropriate. The serving staff are nice."

"Oh where to start. The ice machine doesn't work. Long enough that they put up a sign. No consistency in scoops. Lady in front of me couldn't even close her plate. My plate was all super greens and honey shrimp and orange chicken. With such small scoops they didn't even peek over the edge of the plate lip. I buy the same thing every time. This was probably 1/2 a normal order. 4 pieces of whole shrimp 2 broken pieces. And 5 pieces of medium to small orange chicken pieces. I asked them if i could get a full serving and the lady looked At me like i was stupid. Will not go here again. Still hungry which I have never been after getting the same meal all these years. and had to go to chick filet."

"Ordered take out. Food was excellent. They send an automated text saying the food is ready for pickup and then you show up and they still haven't made the food. They forgot to print and attach the receipt that has the 22 number redemption code for a free small entree. Will remove this review when I am fully compensated. Thanks"
