Yesterday I order in panda express online and after picking up and arriving home. I realized that for my chow mein order they put fried rice for the one with white rice they put fried rice. They did not try to exchange it in the order or let me know they just dump whatever they wanted in there. The portions were really small. And when I say small I mean when I order beef and broccoli I got 5 broccolis and two small pieces of beef. I just hope the food was made in a clean way. Because the way that it was thrown in there looked like they didn’t put any effort in making it look like what a normal plate would look like. I have to say I always liked Panda Express in San Diego but after all the bad experiences in Ridgecrest Panda Express. I won’t be eating there again. I am only saying this no to tear anyone down but as a wake up call. Because when I enter the restaurant nobody greet me. The employees were laughing and talking to each other. I have to say if this is not wrong I don’t know what it is. At least I wouldn’t treat anyone like that at my job. I wish I could get my money back but it was a waste and as much as I used to like Panda Express from San Diego. I won’t be buying in Ridgecrest ever again.

We have gone here four or five times now to eat dinner/lunch.We have always gone through Drive Thru,but we have eaten inside at Palmdale and they are a chain so no surprises there.I know that one of our trips,we were missing one of our entrees on a Bigger Plate order.We go here when we really cant decide on where to eat.I think the flavors are ok… We waited until the hype was over for this Panda Express here in Ridgecrest,because there is no way I am waiting twenty cars for here.The food is good ,but not twenty cars good. Several months ago,when you were in Drive Thru after you ordered,they had you stay back at the beginning of the building. ONLY AFTER THEY PEAKED OUT THE DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND WAVED YOU FORWARD,COULD YOU PULL UP TO THE WINDOW.EVEN IF NOONE WAS IN FRONT OF YOU.I thought that was SUPER ODD,and really question who is making the decisions in this place.They have since stopped doing that,but people dont forget that,and I dont see twenty cars deep anymore either.I think you guys are still learning maybe…so maybe thats all it is right 🙂

It started with one door to the restaurant locked (left side) so everyone entered from right side. Everyone addressed the issue that the door can’t be opened from outside. But since one staff can open it from inside so this issue I guess ignored and people still entered from right door. I came 30 mins before lunch and the service I got really bad compared when I came for dinner when there was hardly guest. This time, number of guests were many and the “couldn’t careless” attitudes came from everybody there. So someone/staff with big gold necklace took my order, i showed him the free entree coupon I got and he took my order of 2 entrees and 1 side. I said i want mixed rice and chowmein, kungpao chicken and Beijing beef. He said Beijing beef will take a while, 3 mins after checking with chef. So he asked what free entree I wanted, I said honey walnut shrimp. And while waiting for my Beijing beef the cashier took over. That’s when all the bad experience started to happen. He spooned out the last portion of kungpao instead of waiting for the chef to replenish, and put the new Beijing beef. Guess what. Chowmein got cold when I ate it and when I addressed it after paying, I asked is there any microwave since chowmein is cold, he talked to another person/lady looks like from india wearing mask and black shirt/I guess higher level and she ignored it too.

Been a few times and haven’t had significant issues. My most recent trip was in and out quickly, food super hot, and good portions. I did a mobile order and in general I find doing that or going inside the better choices over the drive thru. Parking is terrible though.

Sometimes fast can be too fast, I wish there was more accuracy. The flavor and portions were lacking also missing something didn’t taste like other pandas I have been to. Definitely not worth $30 for Two Plates I rather support a local business you should too.

Sat. They apparently close at 9:30pm. I show up at about 8pm and the cook already shutdown his station with below minimum portions of entrees on the line, like maybe 10 servings of 2-3 unpopular items and about 20 portions of rice and chow mein.

Very consistent and the food is always nice and hot. The sizzling shrimp was very good. I highly recommend the chicken and green beans, classic orange chicken, and honey walnut shrimp. The mushroom and chicken is also very good along with the rice and choa mien. Generous portions for the family meal and single meal.
