We got the honey sesame chicken breast, orange chicken and the kung pao chicken. The portions were good. This is my favorite location in the area (Yucaipa one iscloser, but will drive a little further for this one).

It's relatively new, it's well designed, it has a drive thru, it's in a nice area and easy to get in/out of. All that but it is always a disappointment. First and foremost, they always get a part of the order wrong. I don't know what it is but there is always something wrong whenyou order in the drive-thru. I always have to check every plate and always have to go back to have it corrected. Frustratingevery time. Next up, they always seem to have a person working the drive thru who can't understand or comprehend the order. Repeating an order just seems to be a constant thing here. By the time you've had to repeat your order for the 3rd time, itfeels like it's completely frustrating and I find myself yelling in slow motion just to help them get the order correct. In myopinion, I think the person working drive-thru is just distracted. They are likely doing something else while taking orders andcan't concentrate because of this. Also likely why they continually get the orders wrong. Worth mentioning also is the smallportions of food offered here as compared with other Panda Express locations. It's noticeable and if this is an issue for you,do yourself a favor and pass up this location. Another thing I don't like about this location is that when you pay with ApplePay, they take your phone somewhere away from the drive-thru area and scan it there before returning it to you. Apple Pay is agreat way to have a contactless pay option but because they don't have a terminal at the drive-thru ???!! , suddenly you aresharing your phone with a stranger and every greasy piece of food they handled. This has been like this for almost a year andit is still not corrected. All these problems seem like bad management. It's frustrating because these problems seem likethings that could easily be solved. I've kept coming here because it's close and convenient with th

I have ordered here at least 10 times, and they always have enough food (at dinner time). I would give 5 stars but twice when orderingin the restaurant, our orders contained the wrong entrees mushrooms chicken instead of orange chicken. I always check ourorders before I leave now. Plenty of parking and located just off the 10 freeway.

The rice for the fried rice was still raw and the vegetables were obviously not seasoned correctly. This kind of food can only be fed to animals in China. The attitude of the waiter is very good, but please improve the quality of the dishes.
