Panda Express aint that bad

[BjPenn2016FW]

Ive been one of these hipster, kombucha drinking, green smoothie drinking, acai bowl , organic free range animal product losers for a little while now. And it has my body feeling pretty good but....

I was on the way back from Chicago (for a job interview) today... I live about 45 minutes away and I was starving. I didnt wanna stop and eat somewhere inside so my choices were basically subway and get it go, pizza and get it to go, the worst fast food places like kfc, mcdonalds ,etc.... (although wendys is ok)... and there was panera bread but Im sick of it because my girlfriend is a little Panera Bread Head and she always wants to go there. Then I saw Panda Express. My mind said bro dont do it It's gonna be disgusting.
But my heart said... "Hey just for old times sakes, you havent had it since going to the mall food court in Highschool"

So I ordered Chicken Teriyaki with mixed vegetables and some rice. Cheap meal. Probably cheap chicken and alot of sodium blah blah blah. But it was actually pretty damn good today. I would order that again. Its basically the only thing they have there that is not breaded and Its not bad at all. I was satisfied and though you know what. Panda aint that bad. At least the Chicken Teriyaki wasnt!

I think once you think your into this healthy organic lifestyle (sorry for sounding like a complete hipster tool) you think that this food is gonna make you sick or shit your pants or something but naw... It was not bad at all. I would probably get it again and maybe even get something else....

You know the thing is.. Around where I live the Chinese Places are so overated its unbelievable. Some of them are fancy and expensive but the food sometimes is worse than Panda. Its crazy. Now in the heart of Chicago there are good places but not by me.

Im just gonna say that out of alot of fast food choices out there. At least taste wise.
It is farrrr from the worst.

Also I have never had Pf Changs or another chinese fast food chain to compare panda with. Is PF even fast food actually?

It is the Chinese food equivalent of Olive Garden.

Panda > PF

 

[touchedbyjab]

I wouldnt call PF Changs fast food, and it's better than Panda express.

Non-breaded Chicken or Steak with Steamed Veggies (instead of fried rice) isn't too bad.

thats what Im talking about too. Thats really the only things I would order.

 

[CC's left foot]

It's decent as long as it hasn't been under the best lamp for hours and you are expecting Americanized Chinese food.

PF Changs has a takeout chain called Pei Wei.

It's what I prefer to get for Chinese on the go.

Dan Dan Noodles with chicken>>>>

I used to eat it a lot in college. Mostly because how disgusting all the other restaurants on campus were. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. I wouldn't eat it now though. Prefer Pick up Sticks if I had to eat Chinese fast food.

 

[Plutoburn]

It isn't bad if you have never tasted authentic Chinese food. If you understand this is basically McDonald version of Chinese food, then that's fine. Something is wrong if some people think this is what ppl eat in Asia or expect a fortune cookie after every Chinese meal.

Go try fusion food If you want actual good Americanized Chinese food.

I can't see myself ever going to panda express. I can get real chinese food cheaper
