Panda Express


I hadnt been to a Panda Express in years before last night.

Erin and I did some window treatment shopping at Lowe's (didnt go to Bed Bath and Beyond, didnt have enough time) and grabbed a quick dinner.

Um, I dont know if they redid the chain or what, but it was fantastic. The food was so fresh and for $16, I got what usually costs us $35 in sit down Chinese joints.

W00t Panda Express!

You're going to the wrong sit down Chinese joints.

There are so many better options out there than Panda, most notably YC's. Mongolian <> Chinese, but it can be pretty close depending on how you make it.

Panda express is more expensive and lower quality than almost 99% of all other chinese places in America.

Except for Pick up Stix which is the worst place on the planet.

Please tell me where you are going for Chinese? Because Panda is cheaper then just about every Chinese food resteraunt in town up here in vegas and every single one i have ever been to in AZ too for that matter.

Also their food is VERY good quality and VERY fresh. You can see the freshness in it and see the veggies in the see through fridge thats on the wall in most Panda's. I cant see crap in a regular chinese joint.

Two item entree and a heaping pile of rice or chow mein for about 4.75. Enough on the plate to easily fill a guy my size. Throw in an egg roll and some fried shrimp and Im up to a whopping 6.75! WOOOWEEEE!

Wang's here in Chandler is great. A sit down restaurant where nothing is more than $10 at dinner time. (at least it was the last time I was there)

Golden Eggroll here in Tempe is the same. $5.00 for most entrees that include Rice, eggroll, and fortune cookie. Good cheap chinese places are all over the place.

FWIW, I thought it was mall food, until I had it last night. They've made changes.
