I have been eating at my local Panda Express for years. I started the day it opened, and I make at least a monthly trip for some good eats. The grand opening was pretty memorable to me, with a person chilling in a panda costume waving at cars driving by, my family and I decided to stop there for lunch. I even remember what i got! White rice, their famous Orange chicken, and a side of Beef and broccoli. I went home full as can be, and still hungry for more even though my stomach couldn’t fit it. A few hours later, i decided to grab it for dinner as well. Thats right. Grand opening, i get lunch AND dinner.
It is right down the street from where I live, and I loved their orange chicken so much I started going in every time I had the time for it. Dinner breaks at work, I would be there. Weekends for lunch, I would be there! Summer time, nearly every day. I was obsessed! Sadly. They changed chefs, and that irresistible orange chicken changed flavors slightly and I was no longer hooked. I still love it and all, but its just not as good as it was. Oh well!
So I am pretty simple when i go there. All i want is their orange chicken, and some white rice to go along with it. Cool thing is once you get your receipt, their is a survey you can take to improve your local Panda Express and get a free entree the next time you come in when you buy another 2-entree plate. Unlimited times you can do that, I save my receipts and do it every time.
I don’t go nearly as often as I used to, generally the only times now are whenever Eidred and I decide to hang out. Which just so happens to usually be around lunch time. Here is an old picture I took a few months back from my phone of mine and Eidred’s plates. We both get the same thing, and this is just the 2-entree plate. Pretty damn massive for the price we pay, which is just under $7. To walk away full and satisfied, its worth it. No way can you get the same feeling from some other fast food place like McDonalds. Those type of “fast-food” services just make you feel sick when you eat too much.

As much as a like Mickey D’s, this is true. My favorite is Taco Bell, and this is still the case even for them.
But I’m not a fan of orange chicken, personally. Still, that is a *ton* of food. Definitely worth 7 bucks, esecially if it includes a drink.
Doesn’t include a drink, those are free water cups! We are cheap. Drinks are only like a buck more tho.
And yes, taco bell is my favorite fast food place too. And i cant get sick from it, just full. I normally eat 8 or 9 tacos each time i go.
Two words…Jimmy John’s…mmmm, if I weren’t so full from Jimmy John’s right now, I’d probably go eat some Jimmy John’s. Then I’d go have Panda Express for dinner. But it is too far away for me, and that makes me a saaaaaad paaaaaannddaaaaaa.
