About

Panda Express in Paseo Nuevo is a go-to for quick, comforting Chinese cuisine in Santa Barbara. Known for its casual atmosphere, it's perfect for university students and tourists looking for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. While the Orange Chicken shines with its crispy charm, past reviews suggest that the consistency can vary, particularly with the rice and sides. Enjoy the outdoor seating and wheelchair-accessible features, all while savoring hearty plates that won't empty your wallet.

Panda Express in Santa Barbara is my go-to spot for a quick and satisfying meal! ๐Ÿœ The Orange Chicken is a classic favorite - crispy, sweet, and perfect over their steamed rice. The casual vibe makes it easy to grab lunch after a day of exploring.

I appreciated the wheelchair-accessible features and had no trouble finding parking. Plus, the outdoor seating adds a nice touch! ๐Ÿ’• Whether you're dining solo or with friends, it's a reliable choice for comfort food. Canโ€™t wait to come back for more!
