Panda Express — Restaurant in Santa Monica

Its the best food I have ever had! I have gone there since I was young and it was right across from my school so it was an easy fast lucy when we didn't have time to make one in the morning. The servers are great but they do rush you a little bit. There are so many great options for whatever you are in the mood for for. I once had to bring in worldly food for school and totally forgot so in the morning before school ran over and got some noodles and rice and egg roles and they were great, the best food there everyone loved it I almost didn't have enough. The one thing that I would change is that they run out of food very fast and so sometimes you have to wait a long time for them to make more. I think the only way to fix that though would be to make more of everything as people order so they always have extra/ My mom used to never really allow me to have fast food but she would occasionally let me have Panda Express. Its cheap and fast, a family favorite, my kids love it, mostly the one in santa monica! Its the best fast food you will ever eat exempt for in n out which I...

Visiting in Santa Monica, I was tired and hungry after sightseeing when I walked by the Panda Express. The delicious aroma made me pause, but I would still have gone on when I noticed the line of people. Drawn in, I got in the line, which moved quickly, and 4 minutes later, I sat down to a plate of mushroom chicken over noodles with a side of steamed broccoli and bok choy. Everything was warm and quite tasty, and better yet, the chicken was mist and the veggies hadn't turned to mush. Gourmet? Certainly not, but for $7.99 it was quite tasty and wholesome. I've been back 3 times so far, and and found the food uniformly well prepared. I have to point out that this is the only Panda Express I been too so I am endorsing this location only. My guess is that the location in the middle of the Montana Avenue shopping district (and near a Big Blue Bus stop) means high volume so nothing stays on the steam...

I entered this restaurant on Lincoln blvd and Montana in Santa Monica to buy some lunch at noon time 12/20/2023. I stood in line and the server helped the person behind me. I let her know that I'd been waiting line. She makes some comment about a station I should 've been standing in. Her comment was total hogwash. All service should be first come first serve. I've been a customer at this location for a while now and never heard of any station in the line. This is very unprofessional. I re-enter this restaurant today 01/25/24 and after waiting in line for more than 15 minutes, I am told that the lunch of my choice isn't available now and won't be ready for another 5-7 minutes. The management here is very very...
