It would be like having a chained called wetback express to serve the same generic mexican food you can get at the literal dozens of mexican restaurants in any town

They need a hot and sour soup or something but it's pretty good.

>>14861030
everything but their orange chicken is terrible. if anything, it's better than the other one-off point-point places around town, and that's not saying much

>>14861030
I'm so glad corona happened so they started doing grubhub. now I get my panda delivered

>>14861030
The worst food in the planet. For people who hate themselves and want to punish their bodies.

>>14861066
It's nothing like that, you just wanted to use the word wetback.

>>14861122
Except that it is indeed exactly like every generic mom and pop chinese place

>>14861197
It’s worse desu

>>14861197
I meant in terms of name, food wise you are correct.

>>14861030
I don't understand how they are a thing when every town has atleast one small restaurant that tastes better and most towns have a "dollar scoop" place that's the same quick in and out setup as panda for half the price

>>14861228
Believe it or not, many people prefer chain restaurants over others because they think it automatically implies quality and cleanliness.

>>14861207
What? Do people call Chinese people Pandas? A Mexican equivalent would be like Quetzal Express.

>>14861240
Are they wrong?

>>14861267
No they don't, that's the point I'm trying to make. A better example would be donkey express or chihuaha express. Wetback and Panda are no where near the same ballpark.

>>14861270
Yes, in my opinion.

>>14861270
Not inherently. Most chain restaurants are franchises and it varies with the competency and care of the franchise owner. Some owners view a chain franchise as an easy-mode business and do just enough to not get shut down.

>>14861066
>Panda is a racial slur

>>14861066
>panda
>wetback
There's a disconnect here. It would ve more like Chihuahua express. Also the food they serve ad panda isn't generic chinese, turbo faggot.

>>14861030

Extremely Based.

Here's how to get the best Panda Panda Panda experience:

>Always go inside, drive thru is slow and you cant see how fresh the food is.
>Get it to go even if you eat there
>Half white rice, Half Chow Mien or Half Vegetables
>S-Tier: Kung Pao Chicken, Kung Pao Shrimp, Sweetfire Chicken
>A-Tier (Only get when S-Tier is not fresh): Beijing Beef, Orange Chicken, Mushroom Chicken, Been and Broccoli
>Everything else is trash
>Extra Chili Sauce Packets, save them your car and cupboard for emergency hot sauce, surprisingly tasty and spicy.

Panda Express is some of my favorite authentic American Cuisine.

Beef* Sorry, I'm gay, not that it matters.

>>14861030
I remember going to malls with my mom when i was a wee little fag everytime we go to the food court we always get panda ex since almost every mall had panda express. Great food, and service quality. But now they starting to chain everywhere and the food and workers had decline rapidly. They keep forgetting my sides or entrees, orange chicken tasting like soap, raw mandarin/teriyaki chicken, and the kung pao chicken chili is ALWAYS FUCKING BITTER NOW NOT EVEN SPICY

PANDA EXPRESS YOU FUCKS CHANGE YOUR FUCKING RECIPE ON THE KUNG PAO OR I’M COMING OVER TO FIX IT FOR YA WITH TRUST .45 COLT

>>14861030
Its a shame they raised their prices last year. Used to be a pretty decent deal, the mushroom chic and teryaki chic are pretty good. Their beef is gristly peasant meat.

>>14861030
not even real panda

Their hot sauce is addicting and depleted my stomach acid.

I like it desu. When I have a long shift at work I'll get food from there and eat it throughout the day.

I got food poisoning from it once when I was in Vegas and haven't tried it since.

>>14861030
It's pretty tasty. They need to bring back pic related

>>14861100
Honestly if you aren't some kind of turbo normie, corona has been the best thing to happen. Free gubbermint money, no-contact delivery food (don't gotta even look at the guy dropping your food or have your doorbell rang) The soijaks can cry FUCK 2020 all they want, I'm loving it

>>14861030
Pretty good.
Their Chow Mein is the best anywhere, entrees could use some work.
The Honey Walnut shrimp is good, though.

Gloopy sloppas like every other heavily Americanized chinese joint.

2-entree plate
fried rice
orange chicken
kungpao chicken

>>14863618
What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

>>14861030
I enjoy getting my pork fried rice fix fulfilled without risking diarrhea or guaranteed gas from the local Chinese spot. Love the food man but if you got to be somewhere you can’t be blasting beef lo mein farts all day lol.

>>14861030
It's pretty good. Ate it almost everyday when I was in college

>>14863598
sad thing is I'm a turbo hikki so I make more than a dollar a minute and I didn't get any government handouts. lukily I wear masks while I do yardwork so I already had a couple of big packs of them and I visit /k/ /diy/ /biz/ /ck/ and stuff so I own lots of dry beans and rice and I have ammunition and guns and I have masks and a dozen sheets of plywood and a bunch of dimensional pine and I also have raised beds and some vinyl post covers converted to growing peppers. I dunno I guess I could go to /soc/ and meet a girl or something but I don't need to. I mostly like cooking and shitposting about food

Tastes really bad. PF Chang's is the superior chain.

>>14863775
What is a turbo hikki?

>>14863810
uhh I am good at computers and I only need to meet with people twice a week to do my job and don't leave my house except once every 2 or 3 weeks

I don't get why they're so hated
people act as if they were started by white people or something
but they were started by chinese people

I've never been to a Panda Express.

For that matter, I never would have thought about cooking Pandas as fast food.

>>14864004
I don't care if it's staffed by Chinese people. I care that it tastes bad. PF Chang's is staffed by white people and is way better tasting than Panda Express

>>14863972
I don't consider you hikik, even if your job is not what most people would consider "important"
I know a "friend" who, right after college, just sits in his parents basement and watches anime all day, desperately tries to get onto unemployment even though he doesn't qualify, and is trying to learn Japanese so he can "move to Japan" because he thinks that moving to Japan will solve all his problems like the protagonists in the Korean cartoons he watches.
Even putting in the basic effort to do something, or want something, or working towards some realistic goal, makes you better than your average hikikomori.

>>14863619
fat ass

>>14864693
Poorfag
Rent free

rice is super dry

>>14861030
1 order of Sour & Sweet Pork please

>>14861030
"chinese" food
no matter where you go in the world, these chinese takeouts will always, always be fucking sugar and flavor enhancer filled garbage
eat it only if you hate yourself

too expensive for too small portions, their orange chicken rules tho

It's ok when its fresh and they have all the options out. I was impressed with the sweetfire chicken, but the pi apples in it freak me out a little. Especially when they get mixed in with the chowmein. Pretty strange combination.

>>14864040
PF Chang’s is also a sit down restaurant that is marketed at a completely different price point you stupid faggot. Why not pretend McDonald’s and five guys are directly comparable for your next parlor trick you insufferable piece of shit.

>>14861030
very shitty, i'll just keep going to the local chinese restaurant.

>>14861030
I used to go once every month to the French version of that, in the next village.
I expect the food is mostly the same. You get your money's worth, it's managed by the same Chinese couple for as long as I can remember, and the place and kitchen is clean.
It's comfy.

>>14865441
>I used to go
Meant "before Corona"
I'll probably go back once I return home.

>>14861030
gloopy glop chinese food.

>>14861030
chicken egg roll is terrible, should be pork
crab ragoon is missing the crab
orange chicken a bit too sweet
fried rice lacks carmalization from the wok
hot and sour soup missing

it could be a lot better with minimal changes, they won change though, Sad!

asian chao was better, but since they are only available in malls I go to panda express

not the here we need but the hero we deserve

>>14863656
fuck off racist

>>14865546
you fell for the bait

>>14861066
dumbass

I was a cook at panda on and off from 2016 up until a few weeks ago when I got fired for being late for like the 20th time this year. I fucking hate panda express AMA

>>14866145
Fuck you. Literal human garbage.

>>14864880
>Sour & Sweet
you bastard

>>14866614
This, I don't get why it is a thing with Americans to be habitually late and cry because people are mean to them for that.
