Nobody thinks Panda Express is authentic or gourmet. But my husband is a big fan of their orange chicken and fried rice, and after being a frequent customer back in my college days, it has some nostalgia for me. Fast food shrimp is often sketchy, but the Pacific Chili Shrimp is surprisingly good. Service is fast, the restaurant itself is pretty clean, and prices are reasonable.
Nothing fancy, but if what you're looking for is Chinese in a hurry, Panda Express does the trick.
