tasted many smells from runners feet? ive never had the desire to try that... even if i could taste a smell. :p


as for panda, its fast food. everyone knows fast food sucks, so dont go there with huge expectations. quality chinese food is always better. duh, its quality. house lo mein is my fave, its what i base a restaurants quality on. if their lo mein suxxorz, i dont go back.

pei wei, bamboo club, house of eggroll (local), golden eggroll (another local)

plenty of good places with better orange chicken. but, i agree with the OP. if im at the mall, ill grab some of their orange chicken if its fresh. their noodles suck tho, so i dont get those. most of the time i wont go there anyway, and get me some s'barros pizza instead ;)

Asian Chao has better orange chicken. In fact all of their chicken is quite good.

Panda > Sam Woo BBQ Express

It's nowhere as near as greasy but it's double the price =(

I usually like their orange chicken, but sometimes its to dry and theres hardly any chicken inside the fried part. I try to go when its really busy so I get fresh orange chicken. The firecracker chicken and string bean chicken are also good. The sweet & sour pork is awful and so is the mandarin chicken. Overall I like panda better than most of the mom and pop fast chinese food places because the mom & pop places usually don't get as much traffic so you end up eating something that was cooked a couple hours ago.

pretty much yeah. for the most part panda express sucks though i admit i do eat there. however when i do i NEVER get the orange chicken, have you ever cracked open the breading and looked inside? the peices of chicken are SO small and some don't even have chicken it is just the breading covered in the orange sauce!
i get beef and broccoli and mushroom chicken
