Walking into Panda Express is like stepping into a warm, delicious hug from your favorite foodie friend. The smell hits you first—sweet, tangy, garlicky goodness wafting through the air like an irresistible siren song. But let’s get to the real star of the show: the orange chicken. Oh yes, the glorious, crispy, sticky, sweet-and-spicy masterpiece that dances on your taste buds like it’s got its own rhythm. It’s my absolute favorite, and honestly, I’d fight someone for the last piece (in a friendly way, of course… maybe). Every bite is a crunchy, saucy celebration of why fast casual Asian-inspired food deserves a permanent place in our hearts—and stomachs. Pair it with some fried rice or chow mein, and boom—you’ve got yourself a flavor-packed party tray on a plastic plate. Sure, it’s not “authentic” Chinese food, but it’s authentically delicious, and sometimes that’s all you need. The staff is always speedy and friendly, the portions are generous, and you can even pretend you’re eating healthy by adding a scoop of super greens. (Balance, right?) Panda Express, thank you for keeping my orange chicken cravings alive and well. Never change.

I stopped here to grab some broccoli beef and honey sesame chicken that tasted pretty good. The meal came with fried rice and chow mein but the noodles were a bit undercooked lacked flavor. Also sesame chicken served portion was unimpressive compared to the entire meal.

My new favorite staple is the barbecue pork. The orange chicken has just the right amount of sauce. Way better than any other quick service Chinese food places around.

Don’t like when they don’t have bottle of sriracha at the tables, also hope you don’t need to use the restroom, not for customers
