Panda Express pays me EXTREMELY good and treats me very well. I love this franchise and appreciate all they have done for me
When your watching this on your hour break from panda💀🐼💀
Hour??? I only get 30 minutes!
@@tomiv9850 yeah I get an hour break when I pull a double
@@emanuelmardueno2270 do you guys get free food cause if you do... sign me up 😂
@@xo5347 yes
I get 10 mins
this panda express is located on walnut grove in rosemead, California . its literally right next door to corporate headquarters. there are a lot of asians working at this panda express because rosemead has a huge asian population. this chain is also cleaner because im sure since its nest to headquarters, they receive suprise visits more often from upper management.
Dan Trinh I used to live in Rosemead....
The way they scrubbed that kitchen I doubt it’s a clean one
Actually, most stores get surprise visits from upper management, and all stores are and should be cleaned thoroughly everyday.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Terrance Oakley instablaster :)
This is a glamorized video of what actually happens in these restaurants.
No this is how Panda Express is for mine. May be different from your location
the up tempo music makes it look like propaganda lol alls they needed to top it off is have the manager throw a big thumbs up for the camera
I currently work for a Panda Express and pretty much everything in this video is correct, we really do deep scrub the floors and mop the walls
@@gorrilamadman8602 i hate that part
What do you expect a day at work to be? Playtime? Crybabies everywhere
this makes me realize how much i hate working in the food industry.
Lmao. No panda restaurant has this much staff. I wish I could work as slow as the people in this vid.
Love the short and snappy story telling. Please continue with this series.
Dam that's how you run a Restaurant, Fast Friendly Clean.
That was well done. Interesting series. I'll enjoy watching more. Happy New Year.
Hit the lights at 10 pm my rearend... More like 1 in the morning...
Mines is a mall we close at 7 but we get last minute customers who ask for fresh food 😤
For a year we’ve been closing with just two people in the back
@@emanuelmardueno2270how long does it usually take yall to close?
Thanks for the video, it's interesting to see the "behind the scene" operations
Great video.Thank you. I have an interview tomorrow, I hope I get it!
Well made video. I'm really enjoying the video editing and shooting on this one.
Cool series. Keep up the good work
ya this one is in Rosemead. When i worked for usps this was on my route and it is super clean in there
oooh no they miss the best part.
like when the managers yelled at their coworkers infront of the people for a small mistake 😒
That place is clean af
Wow what an amazing edited video
ding ding thaaaaaankyooouuuuuu
Wonder how much Panda Express paid to produce this video
wow! love how clean they are......😆😆
Great video!
PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA....lol sorry couldn't help it
get out
Mr.Q RUDE
Rebranding video because market research found that consumers think its a dirty restaurant?
+Brian McNay We appreciate the cynicism, but this has a much less gross backstory. We make a series called One Night: www.eater.com/a/one-night-kachka . The people at Panda Express saw it and said, "Hey, Eater. We love this. If you ever want to spend a day in a Panda Express let us know." and after a lot of deliberation we thought...."why not" and made this: www.eater.com/a/panda-express-one-day . We're pretty proud of both of them. Please give em a look.
+Brian McNay If I missed it, do they use MSG? I'm highly allergic to it. Thanks!
+Eater, There are an awful lot of scenes showing the staff cleaning the restaurant, an exorbitant amount. Almost as if Panda asked you to highlight that aspect. But I'm just an outsider looking in, and hey, great work.
+Andres Han I totally agree.
+Brian McNay Not trying to deny any concerns you have regarding their health issue in terms of food. But if you ever work in a restaurant or food stand, you will know cleaning is big deal in terms of everyday operation, in fact, shockingly amount of time and effort.
Reminds me of my closing days at the restaurant
Trust me when I say this is the most glorified video of Panda Express ever. I’m a current worker and the wage is a lowball for the amount of work you have to do. In our restaurant everything is broken. You never get breaks and we usually don’t leave until 12 or 1 am :)
What panda do you work at 😂
@@belloSZN lol getting abused ova there
Just request a raise into management and a transfer to the HQ. What's the problem?
Go to another job if it’s so bad. Stop crying do something about it.
There seriously needs to be a drive thru in my area...if only😭
my all time fave 😍
At my hometown one they hose down the restaurant. Table, chairs, floor, buffet. Just hosed everything down. Never ate there again.
I'm living on Panda Express right now
How to clean your wok and kitchen drag your mop up to make it faster and use a lot of water at the floor to make it even shines and slippery
are all the panda express this clean or just the one next corporate?
They double the wok use as a cleaning bucket?
Sean looks like John Cho 😍
Great video! This mAde me want fried rice and work at Panda Express :)
I want some panda express now
I work 3 days a week at Panda for 12 hours each time. I truly know what a Day at Panda is like.
Panda Express in Rosemead California ❤️
they clean very well
Why am I watching other people work?? WHAT HAS BECOME OF MY LIFE?
I have a job interview for Panda Express and I'm so nervous bc this will be my first job 😣
It's Bangin Yo
how i wish singapore too could have panda express in here.... i could only see live panda in zoo 🐼 ☹️
I know this is a fast food restaurant but how is this not authentic they are cutting up fresh vegetables, cooking fresh meat and so on also they have asian cooks. Panda Express is delicious its authentic to me.
They aren't authentic chinese recipes or cuisine but it is authentic chinese-american. And that's fine. The same way much beloved new york pizzas arent authentic italian cuisine but they are authentic italian-american foods.
Can somebody who works at Panda tell me if they cook the meats from raw? Or, do they precook the meats in batches, and take it out of fridge whenever they need to make a dish?
meat is pre-packaged and raw. it is taken out when we need to make more.
Nice video! May be you could create a similar video for Chipotle??
I gotta say Sonny the manager at Wahiawa Panda Express knows his job! SONNY IS ASSET TO PANDA.
i hope panda express could have more outlet outside US
I live a block away from this Panda Express . Panda headquarter is right next to this chain
All the Panda Express workers are Mexican and Black in Milwaukee, WI. Something seems fishy about this video when their are asian cooks lol.
+Charles Xiong This is in San Gabriel Valley (In Los Angeles county). It is the most populated Asian community outside of Asia. Your employees will reflect the area.
+Charles Xiong yeah because there's like 12 asians in milwaukee
Mines has 3 Asian 5 Mexicans including me and 1 black I’m Chicago
Eater, brought to you by Panda Express™
Most people dream about owning their own restaurant. For those who dream about it, they have no idea what they're talking about. It takes dedication and lots of your time.
My Panda Express be here’s some uhh left over orange chicken from yesterday
Does Panda use msg in their food? I don't go there because I'm allergic to msg😢
I started this
job 2day tryna b best wish me luck
Do you have the zip code for this place? It's not on google maps and everything you've described as landmarks seem to also not be easily findable. I really wanna find this place haha
John Goundry It's next to the panda head quarters in rosemead CA
shootingLemon
Yeah found it, thanks
I start my first day on Friday and this made me want to quit. Working is the food industry is the worst.
now that's a well tuned restaurant...
oh this is the one in front of my neighborhood walmart
3:44 Hahahahahaha
A popular mall place Arlington va
hello.
I'm a PD of tvN, a Korean broadcasting station.
I want to use your video as a material for my program.
Can I use it?
I’m like why is this so different and the video is from 5 years ago
If this video wasn’t sponsored the title would be “You will never eat at Panda Express after wactching this”
That's why Kim Taehyun like Panda Express too much 💕
Panda express hu Panda express hu Panda express hu
I'm surprised they use an actual wok
The US has drive-thru Chinese food?!
this one is near my house lol
Mmm that delicious wok fried food that has dirty mops used in it.
how did that guy make it to the managerial position at such a young age?
+To Catch a Predator He's asian. For all we know he's in his 50's.
hahhahah that's a good one mate, cheers for that laugh.
+To Catch a Predator Managers are not that old... You just need to graduate from college and apply for the managerial position.
It's not like you start as a hamburger flipper and you work your way up to manager once the current manager dies. Lol that rarely happens.
WhatTechShow I did not know that before. Thank you. I am in college and I always wondered what the management courses were for, but I guess this answers my question.
he was probably the only one willing to do it. I'd rather drill in an arctic wasteland or scrape dead bodies off the highway than take shit from scammers and dbags. How long would I last before I catch an assault/attempted murder charge? hope that young man gets paid well.
The last time I went there I got constipated.😞
I sincerely hope that you were able to solve your constipation problems!
i work at panada express and they one of the worst work policy in my opinion to bent on rules though they do care about you n plus free lunch.
The one whos taking the orders tho
He fine 😬💕
Holy F....is that the same wok they cook in that they are sloshing hot water out of to clean the kitchen walls with that brush????????? YIKES!!!!!!!
DAMN I RATHER EAT A LIVING PANDA O.O
More
No tofu. An asian joint with no tofu. What the...?
Lmao no Panda I’ve worked at (3 locations) has ever had even 50% of that staff size.
This particular one is close to the corporate HQ in Rosemead, California. So it's obviously gonna be much busier than your average Panda.
@@mrjinkorea If they have time to have multiple people cleaning at 3pm then they have a far better staff to sales ratio than any store I’ve worked at.
3:12 Old food coming out....but where did it go........?
3:44 Woky Woky Sloppy Moppy
No buffet at the one in Pensacola. No Asian workers either.
So I realized that the employees are wearing watches. Are they allowed to wear watches? Just curious
WE HAVE A NEW PANDA IN HAWAII. THE FOOD TASTE PREPACKED AND SAUCES MADE IN A FACTORY. ITS STILL FAST FOOD.BREADED FROZEN FRIED THROW SAUCE ON .NOT HOMEMADE AT ALL. THE PLACE WILL DIE DOWN AFTER PPL GET TIRED OF IT.
Natalie Suemori it’s 10 times better than chipotle and all the other fast food places
Love Panda!
3:45 YUCKKKYYYYY SAME WOK FOR FOOD AND MOP TO CLEAN THE WALLS!!!!!!!!!
PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA EXPRESS HO PANDA EXPRESS HO PANDA EXPRESS HOO
Namjoon:Sorry we just really love Panda Express
Me:😂😂😂😂😂
I'm waiting for for this this this
Crazy to believe there was a time where they didn't have to wear gloves or masks
Yeah I mean it was like that since forever so is it really crazy
Rick and Morty!
So these people use water in the cooking wok to dip a dirty mop and clean the walls...never coming back!!!
WHAT THE FUCK I JUST SAW THAT O_O
Recruiter sent me here
The very few times I've eaten at a PE the food has been there for hours and it's dry and tastes like crud. I picked up the chicken pot stickers which had an hard shell and were completely disgusting.
Please come and open in Australia. We don't have legit Chinese food here. Come and save us.
you still wont if they come to australia
+Sen King yeah in this video the food looks much better than what we get here in Sydney. If I go to a food court for lunch, the usual thing I would avoid is Chinese :(
+Sen King do you like Mexican food
+Ivan Martinez yeah Mexican food is great. I think at least we get some good Mexican food here
Is this place all you can eat?
Yea if you have money
LOL
Cool they Mop out of the wok. gross AF, i feel bad for you if this is your best option for chinese.
+steadfast510 gives extra flavor
+steadfast510 Well it's boiling water so it kill all the bacteria, guess it's better than the normal buckets.
steadfast510 it's not a mop it's a cleaning tool that is only used for cleaning the kitchen and has a flat scrubber on the end of it
He was cleaning the walls with the wok because the wok heats up the solution making the walls easier to clean... you guys have obviously had no knowledge whatsoever of Panda Express...
sean is cute ugh
And how much are those happy employees are getting paid?
Mr. Lolo I just started working at panda about 3 months ago, this video really does a good job at showcasing how difficult this job is, that said we start at 10 at my store, but it depends on how much revenue the store brings in, the busier stores start at 10.50 even 11 an hour boh as well as foh

Where's the part where they show the food being freaking awful...?
This is a weird video. Did you guys even film this or panda express just send you footage along with a huge stack of cash?
I personally have not ate at Panda Express only my little sister if my children ain't there it wasn't me I didn't offer it to them my husband Samuel he's mistaken if he didn't give me child support because of it and my children already adults and my grandchildren I'm not allowed to feed them only but candy not even that anymore
why is no one pointing out that the manager asked if the dude wanted meet in his broccoli and beef? 2:25
+Lauren Lam Right, but that means the customer asked for broccoli and -->Beef
Just take this L, gotta love people who get proven wrong and then try to explain it to make themselves feel better. Also your analogy is flawed, anywhere you order a burger/hamburger - it will come with cheese same with a cheeseburger.
Anony Moose Cool thanks for correcting me.
Rigo R.M for real, Bro I want both
Im here to look bcz of taetae😅💜️
We armies share the same braincells lol 😆😂
Left overs are reheated the next day and mixed
