Panda Express — Restaurant in California

As someone who enjoys Panda Express, I'd recommend skipping this one. It seemed nice that we were getting a Panda in Ramona, but this store has consistently delivered sub-par service or food. They will load you up on fried rice or chow mein at the expense of the real reason you went to there in the first place: the entrees. Other Panda locations are not nearly as stingy with the entree sizes, but this store regularly gives less than others, sometimes to the tune of half the normal amount. Premium entrees are no exception. Be prepared to pay an additional $1.25 for an unjustifiably small portion of food. Unless you are going there for the rice/chow mein, in which case you will get plenty of that. The quality of the food has also been underwhelming a number of times. Panda Express is fast food so it is to be expected that occasionally you'll get something that doesn't quite taste right, etc. But it shouldn't be a common occurrence, and at most locations it isn't. This store pretty frequently hands out entrees that taste off from the first bite. I like Panda,, and having one up the hill was supposed to be convenient, so I gave it more than a few chances. But between super small serving sizes to food that is either undercooked, overcooked or some wierd combination of both, the experience has been bad every time. I won't be going to this location anymore, and I'll be telling friends and family to...

The restaurant in question offers a dining experience that is generally satisfying but falls short of being truly exceptional. The ambiance is pleasant enough, with a comfortable atmosphere that is neither too loud nor too quiet, making it suitable for various occasions. The menu, while offering a decent variety of options, doesn't push any boundaries or present anything particularly innovative. The dishes are well-prepared, and the ingredients seem fresh, but there is a certain lack of finesse or creativity that might leave more discerning diners wanting more. Service is competent, with staff that are attentive but not overly engaging or memorable. Prices are fair for the quality provided, though not necessarily a bargain. Overall, it's a solid choice for a meal that won't disappoint, but it might not be the kind of place that lingers in your memory or becomes a go-to for...

Watch out for Panda in Ramona, esp if u use the drive thru. Went for dinner at 5pm yesterday. Ordered string bean chicken breast but ask for them to make fresh as the remainder in the bowl looked like it had been sitting there all afternoon. They agreed and when the new bowl came from the kitchen they dumped the old food on top and then mixed and scooped my order. Ended up with the old and new mixed in my bowl. Refused to take the serving as I had gotten sick twice before on this same dish due to the age of the food in the bowl. My husband requested a new order and the cook laughed at him. Refused to remake. Hubbie had them refund the money and did not eat there. Will NEVER go back. Have seen them do this all the time on other entrees as well. Staff was rude. What used to be a great place in Ramona is now on...
