Panda Express Customer service/owner's concern

PE was great before covid. But, after covid, they kept chairs on their tables way toooo long and enforced the mask mandate toooo long. We haven't been there since covid.

My daughter went last night. She wanted her usual order of string bean chicken and was told they had none and were making nothing except what was in the few bowls that did have food in them. She was forced to get something else.

We went by there tonight. Chairs were down and we could eat inside...great!

No masks to get in...great.

Okay. Many empty bowls that had prepared food in them. Hmmm...

We learned they no longer give samples - how are you to be comfortable ordering a "New" item and know whether it is spicy or not, if you can't taste it? (their spicy food is way too spicy for me - samples help - especially "new" items) I ordered the fried rice and asked for a piece of egg from the rice to be added to my bowl...she told me she "couldn't dip in there for that". Hmmm... The broccoli beef didn't look great but there was little else to choose from...nothing was being cooked to wait on (no string bean chicken there tonight either).

So, my husband was going to order his item when the drive-thru guy practically cleaned the bowl out for the order he was filling. Well, we knew they were cooking nothing else, so...

After that, it was time to go! We spent our money somewhere else.

Dear Panda Express, Lufkin, Texas is too small of a town to not be a great place to eat, with great service. Talk gets around very quickly! And, we have heard much recent negative about your establishment...please "consider your ways"!

Desired outcome: What? I'm not asking you to read my mind! Care about having my business and satisfaction, your carelessness or unconcern? You would know what to do! want to do the right thing to promote good customer service.

Panda Express Teriyaki chicken

What has happened to the teriyaki chicken? It is definitely not the good quality and good tasting chicken that used to be offered. I will never order it again.

Desired outcome: Chicken that actually tastes like real chicken.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

noodles were dry and had a weird taste. They put less than normal orange chicken in the bowls. They did not give us fortune cookies. the springs were gross they were oily and had a funky taste. The order totaled $40 i tried paying with $100 the cashier refused it said we needed to pay the exact amount. This place needs to be retrained the drive thru person was on his phone and touching food. very unsanitary.

Panda Express Incorrect order

Today I visited Panda Express #1518

As I approached to get my order I asked for a bowl and I asked if I was able to get chow mein and fried rice half & half and I was surprised when she said that I couldn’t do that and that I was only able to do that on a plate. I ended up getting what she said I could get and as I was paying I asked the register employee if that was a new thing where customers were no longer able to get half and half on bowls she mentioned she couldn’t help me because didn’t know who helped me or what was going on. I payed and left. I felt like the employees were very aggravated and didn’t want to deal with anything.

On 6/02/22 at 6:30 pm

Desired outcome: I’d really appreciate if i could get a refund

Panda Express Eggplant tofu/service

Order number 186034 Daly City westlake location#2122. Before today the last 2 times I orderEd from panda express I was slightly disappointed because the eggplamt tofu I ordered was all eggplant and no tofu,NONE. I, not being one 2 give a worker a hard time since I know they dont get paid enough &have to deal with enough rude, entitled, customers, just let it go. I was not happy so I just stopped eating there instead of complaining.

Well today my husband wanted to eat there so I was going to go inside and mention to them to please make sure theres tofu with the eggplant . Upon ordering I saw eggplant TOFU bowl was empty. So i KNEW A FRESH BATCH WAS BEING MADE. I asked for a Order of it and said " if you can please make sure I get some TOFU because I keep getting just eggplant when I order it". The lady said " yes if u dont mind waiting ,we r making a fresh batch right now " . So they bagged our other order, rang us up, and had us WAIT for my FRESH EGGPLANT TOFU . WE WAITED ABOUT 10 MIN. I THOUGHT 4 SURE this time id actually have tofu with my eggplant TOFU order. I get home open my plate and I think; oh here we go again. These cheap MFs screwed me out of tofu AGAIN. I about wanted to deck the manager( its not the workers fault their boss is cheap) ONCE AGAIN, EVEN WITH A FRESHLY MADE ORDER , I GOt 1 tofu with like 12 eggplant slices.Yet it wasnt even a whole cut cube. It was more like a sliver of a cut cube of TOFU. So I waited 10 min,was the first to get from the fresh batch made, and still got screwed out of my EGGPLANT TOFU ORDER. ITS CLEAR THE TOFU IS PURPOSELY BEING SKIMPED. 1 TIME can be an accidENT, 2 times could be a coincedence but 3 times- thats clearly by design. All these orders have happened at the same location. Which is Daly City Westlake location. Other than that the service and staff were very professional and friendly. I'd have nothing but nice things to say about the staff and service if id actually get tofu with my eggplant tofu order.

Desired outcome: I'll be satified with a " we promise to do better next time".

Panda Express Incorrect order

I ordered my food at 3420 fm 1960 W rd. through your app. I got very disappointed when I saw you guys gave me no noodles and the orange chicken entree was missing too. I suppose to have 2 sides of noodles and 2 entries of orange chicken, 1 entree of shrimp, 1 entree of sweet chicken breast, 1 entree of Angus steak. My order number is [protected]. It was forb04:15pm at Friday, February 18th. My wife and I have planned lunch for her birthday, but unfortunately, we choose to stop at panda express, it sucks. When I tried to call you guys at the store nobody answered. I call more than 5 times at [protected], 4 times at [protected], and 4 times at [protected]. Apparently, it is so hard to find somebody who cares about your customer service. Why? I am so sorry to let you know that your customer service at this store sucks. what a disappointment!

Desired outcome: I would like to get the right order this time with a refund. I would appreciate a response.

The elderly Asian couple, the Cherngs, who started Panda Express, don't care. They are out on their yacht somewhere. Stop lining their pockets with money.

Panda Express Central Park Zoo Giraffe

My beloved Princess Peach,

I once went to one of your lemonade stands, SEGA. They refused to sell me weapons grade plutonium this is outrageous, the almighty Breadbug shall smite thi. I also once went to a grocery store and ordered a medium sized drink with pepperoni on half and they asked me what are you doing here, why aren't you destroying Deep Space Nine. Anyways I got stoned and went to the zoo, I am now banned from the central park pet store. BnL why have you designed the joy-cons for my new table made out of fried chicken to break every few milennia, I live for 10 trillion years, so this is a really short time for me, you should really fix this my beloved King of the land of Burgers. Anyways I'm gonna go get stoned at my local Breadbug superstore and watch some elephants.

Sincerely,

Gates of Bill

Desired outcome: I sincerely hope that you will start selling pokemon at all your Target locations from now on, I also wish to be unbanned from New York and to have my beloved Dave the giraffe released from the central park pet store.

Panda Express didn't disappoint... The food was crappy, to say the least. The 'steak' (and you were charged 'extra' for this 'gourmet' dish), was tough as shoe leather. The orange chicken was incredibly chewy and the fried rice was filled with huge clumps of stuck together rice. I guess somebody was too lazy to stir the pot or they were on their cell...

I always use the drive thru at your Indio CA store and I have never been to your Indio store #1486 and receive my food thru the drive thru without having to wait 10-15 minutes in the front of the stooge to receive my food. It would be nice if someone can really work with them and show them how to properly run this store. It's an inconvenience to have to...

I placed an online order. I arrived to pick it up. As usual I go in at time it's estimated to be ready. I stand near the shelves they place orders on. A young woman comes up to me and asks if I have an online order. I tell her yes and give her my name. She begins pointing at me and tells me I need to go outside right now. I ask her why. She says it's to not...

I bit into a piece of medal while chewing my food I had ordered. I was eating the Chow Mein with double String bean chicken. It concerned me so much that I couldn't eat the rest of my food. I also called the location, the employee said the manager wasn't in. EE said the metal was probably off of the scrubber. I conveyed my concerns, photo attached.

On jan. 23rd 2021 I ordered $33.00 worth of food and was shorted product. I ordered 5 orders of egg rolls and only received 2 orders. It was disappointing to the family. They seal the bags and it is hard to check when you pick up food in the drive thru. Usually dont have a problem but to be short that many egg rolls I paid for is not right, especially since I am a regular customer. Roy Mast [protected] [protected]@yahoo.com

I used to love Panda. I visited this store on 11/9/2020 @ about 8:30 pm and was the only patron there at that time. I was told that my entree would be made to order in 5 mins. I waited over 20 mins and got home to an incorrect order that looked like the expired remnant leftovers from the steam table. I filed a complaint and after no response and 2 email...
