Panda Express

It's been a while since I've been to a Panda Express and I was reminded why.  The nice thing is they were out of steamed vegetables for their side, so the staff got me some fresh ones while I waited.  The food was pretty fresh, but certainly nothing special.  I realize it's fast food, but I think I've had my Panda experience for a while.

Chinese Fast Food.  As my friend said, "This is the kind of food I wish I could have eaten in China."  Instead of, say, Century Eggs.  

Service is fast, food is pretty self-explanatory.  What is not self-explanatory is how to order.  I got the Panda Bowl the last time I ate here and it said it comes with 1 Entree and 1 Side.  It wasn't clear to me what was an entree (was it the rice plus meat I ordered?) and what was a side (was it the spring rolls the server dished up for me?).  In any case, I ended up with 3 times as much food as I had expected.  It tasted good but I was a little peeved at how confusing the whole process was.  

In general I like Panda Express.  I'm just not a fan of their new flashy and confusing menu format.

Not close to authentic chinese cuisine, but they do have mighty tasty and mighty fresh food!!
