/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Panda Express was by far the worst. Imagine the most generic American-Chinese food and then remove all the flavor. They didn’t even have chopsticks, and it was in the same parking lot as a Walmart, lol.

L&L wasn’t bad. They definitely left out a couple ingredients from the Lau Lau, and the rice was weirdly dry for how busy they were. $17 for a plate lunch is also insane.

The Korean looked great. I was skeptical walking in if they were even going to include rice and side dishes, and then they gave me a bag of noodles and threw in a few rice cakes because…why not? But it turned out to be some of the most bland Korean food I’ve ever had, which probably made it the most disappointing. That one piece of dry, lean pork was all the pork that was included, the broth had no depth of flavor, and I’m pretty sure they just threw in a few pieces of their really mild kimchi and then added an entire quarter of a blanched cabbage, uncut.

Now I really want to go to my old Korean place in the shitty part of town. If I do so this weekend I’ll make a thread.
