I've never had Panda Express before. My expectations were basically food-court style Chinese food. For $7, I had the orange chicken, kung pao chicken, fried rice, chow mein noodles, and a medium drink. I have to say, it was actually really good for the price point.
Regarding the first few reviews, this place is brand new, so there will be a few kinks to work out. Let's give them a chance.
