Best Panda Express in Oxnard. Often out of fortune cookies and the watermelon mango drink. If you order online portions are much smaller.

Update: the beyond orange 'chicken' was good, can't tell it's not chicken, but at a premium price and so stingy with the portion that is not worth it unfortunately . . . Ordered $30 gift card and got a free bowl - placed the free bowl order over app and grabbed our order through the drive thru 5 mins later. There was only one car in front of us, our food was already ready, so the process was quick and easy Been getting the bowls and the portions are noticeably smaller, that hurts the wallet and especially so when you get the premium items - only 5 measley shrimp for $10+tax. Don't make the same mistake as me, stick with the regular items, I think the orange chicken gives you best bang for your buck!

I went to this Panda and I was wearing my Dodgers jersey. As soon as I walk into the door the whole staff was saying "Go Dodgers!". They were really awesome and very fast with my food. If you're a dodger fan go support these employees! It doesn't hurt that when the Dodgers win we get a good discount on a plate! The manager is also very nice so I left a nice tip

I come to this location once a week and every time I always have a great experience from the food to the staff. Not only is the food delicious but the service is impeccable. I am greeted with a smile once I step in and have small talk with the team. The manager LETTY is out of this world. She has a great attitude, positive, and upbeat. I dine in and i notice a team member checking up on guest and going above and beyond by offering more condiments, samples, and fortune cookies in which I’ve been to several locations and I was highly impressed by this. Talk about hospitality!. The team member name is Carolina whom I had the pleasure of interacting with during this visit. I highly recommend this place to family and friends. Thank you so much for making it a great experience.

Update: we returned to the Oxnard Panda Express during an extremely busy dinner service. The drive thru line was looooong so we went inside. These workers were hustling their booties off! The chef was producing fresh entrees like crazy. The workers were powering thru the drive thru line while assisting those of us in store. Stuart was so polite and greeted those of us in line and assured us we would be attended to soon. He looked super stressed but kept his cool. We really appreciate him. Our to go order was so good. The food was still hot when we got home. The servings were a good size. Thank you Oxnard Blvd Panda. We appreciate you and the hard work you do. The new panda express in Oxnard is great. We got a wonderful greeting upon entering. The service was great. The employees were happy and friendly. The food was good. To quote my daughter, "they just need to be less Stingy with the beef in the Broccoli Beef. "

I was a bit skeptical about going to this location after reading the reviews. Sometimes you have to remember that there are a lot of people out there that you just cannot please. I had a great experience the food was delicious and Nicole was so nice! I noticed this amazing chalkboard up in the dining area and asked who made it. And it was also Nicole! She does an amazing job and she is so friendly. Remember folks take these reviews with a grain of salt some people are just grumpy.
