I can declare with certainty that this specific Panda Express restaurant is genuinely amazing because I am an expert on Chinese food. Every dish demonstrates the high caliber and freshness of the products used, and the expert cooking techniques used create an outstanding dining experience. The service at this establishment is consistently timely and kind, and the staff keeps the dining area tidy and welcoming, which improves the whole dining experience. The restaurant’s dedication to sustainability through green procedures and packaging materials also enhances its allure. In conclusion, I would wholeheartedly advocate for anyone wanting for an unmatched flavor of China served with a dash of professionalism to visit this Panda Express store.

Your typical Panda Express where the line moves fast and the food is good. The only thing missing was that the orange chicken had cooled down a little. Fresh batches are always so good. Kung Pao Chicken was great as usual. Surprisingly there’s kale in the veggies

If you’re craving some tasty Chinese food and don’t want to wait long, this Panda Express in Santa Barbara is worth a visit. Their chow mein and orange chicken are particularly delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. However, I had a disappointing experience when I dined at the Paseo Nuevo location last night around 8:30 PM. The line was extremely long, with only one staff member serving customers, resulting in a 15-minute wait just to place an order. Additionally, many of the food containers were empty, limiting the available options. While I understand it was close to closing time, they should have still been serving until 9 PM, not 8:30 PM. On a positive note, the employee working diligently managed to handle the pressure and prepare our food efficiently. Overall, I suggest avoiding this location at night, but it’s still a decent place to eat during other times.

I ordered 2 plates online and this is what I got. Almost no noodles and a lot of veggies and not enough side either. I would never order online. I guess they don’t care much… disappointed

You guys need to close this location down for good. Never open and when it is the food is worse than the Panda in goleta and upper state. 5 oclock on a Tuesday and it’s closed with only a piece of paper on the front door indicating so. ATLEAST PUT CLOSED ON GOOGLE IT TAKES 3 MINUTES.

Ordered threw Uber eats and was charged multiple times for the same order a total of 3 times and when I told them about it and showed my statements they said they would refund my money in 10 days been 2 weeks now and apparently it’s been too long now and that the order was completed so they couldn’t do anything about it. over charged me 185 dollars. Never ordering threw them again I’m still trying to dispute this.

I ordered 1 plate in-store this afternoon and ended up receiving someone else’s order. I noticed this before even leaving the store because there was a small box with honey walnut shrimp in addition to the plate, which I did not order. It turns out I was given the plate of the person after me, and instead of refunding me or giving me my actual order, they told me to keep the plate I was given since I had paid extra for it. Left very frustrated. Not only did I not get the plate I ordered in-store, I paid extra for someone else’s order. I have never had an issue like this at other locations, and am disappointed with the service I received.

The rice tastes plastic and is usually hard just like the broccoli.

Best Chinese food that I’ve ever had, I wish they had one of these back home, I’m stuck with only P.F. Changs. Staff is nice, but they refuse to give me white rice after 6pm because everyone else wants white rice more than me I guess, I’ll just have to start coming earlier. The food is really good though. Good prices.

Poorly managed, employees and manager running around spinning their wheels yet not being very productive. Line went from 2 or three people to out the door. Way too slow getting food into the plates and taking customers money. Manager was on the phone twice for a while. I will go there again because I enjoy Panda for a quick lunch or dinner, and the food was as good as any other Panda Express, but they need to work on efficiency and productivity.
