Right.

I guess if I had no other options for Chinese food, then I suppose I would consider Panda Express.

I had to smile a little reading these posts...the last time I was out in Denver, I was driving along for my next appointment in Thornton and I came across this place called "$1.29 a scoop" - Chinese joint. I figure "What the hell" and stop in...wasn't bad.

Olathe - there used to be a place called "Pings". That place was GREAT!! Best egg rolls in the county. They closed top several years later and I've never heard of them since.

I had their orange chicken for lunch today. It's pretty good. I help it along with some Maggi sauce for the rice and a nice locally produced hot sauce that one of my friends at work brought me from Indiana that perfectly compliments the flavor.

It's not very good and the portions are too small. I can get real Chinese food for the same amount of money and actually get huge portions. Sometimes I'll even have leftovers. Not to mention it'll actually be made by Chinese people and not Puerto Ricans. Nothing against Puerto Ricans. They're fine people. I just want my Chinese food to be made by Chinese people.

We have a family friend that is a manager. She sometimes will bring some extra food including Orange Chicken to us. But she said that the sodium in the food is just way too high, but that is the company's recipe. She doesn't eat the Orange Chicken herself.

Mexicans.

Most 'Chinese food' in our area is made by Mexicans.

Or Methicans.

The Chinese people are up front.

And in many cases they're slaves. The asian owner that purchased them as prison labor might not be so up front about that

I'd guess the majority of restaurant food in the US is made by Mexicans/Mexican Americans. Also, the Chinese food I've had while in Mexico has been fantastic. They kind of excel at rice as well.

Panda Express?? It is the "McDonald's" for chinese and actually insults real and authentic genuine chinese food. Sucks IMHO. Just soggy crap.

Tombstone RJ · 03-24-2018, 02:18 PM

Panda Express is crap, and their portions are small. So they Kung fu you in the nuts twice as you drive away

Delano · 03-24-2018, 02:29 PM

Chinese isn't really a top choice food for me. It has a overly salted and artificial flavor to me.

However, since portion size is pretty low on my list of dining priorities and the food is similar to any other place in town, I do go to panda about once per year. I'll eat this kind of Chinese about twice a year, with a local place being the other spot.

So you feel about Panda Express like Woody Allen feels about life?

What was the name of that Chinese place up in north KC that had the best buffet? I believe it was on North Oak.

Any guesses?

Decent Fried Rice. Needs a little butter.
