Orange Breading Nuggets? I am angry! We are very sad that future trips to Panda Express may not be happening for us. I don't think it's a particular franchise issue; I think it's a company issue, as our recent experience at several Panda Express restaurants, including out of state, is that the food quality has declined in the Orange Chicken.
This has always been my 12 year old son's FAVORITE food of all time and even he wouldn't eat his dinner last night. We order the Family Feast with two of the three entree choices being the Orange Chicken. We've done this every time for the last 5 years. For about the past year, only about half of the nuggets per container actually contain chicken. The rest is just breading.
I will be returning my full container of orange-sauce-covered-breading back to Panda tomorrow. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. If the quality improves in the future, we'll be happy to return, but until then, Bye Bye Panda. :(
