FAT PANDA IN LAFAYETTE: A GLORIOUS FEAST, A SACRED FOOD DEBT JOURNEY

Step into Fat Panda in Lafayette, California, and you enter a world where food debt is not a burden, but an honor. This isn’t just a place to eat—this is where you indulge in the finest Chinese-American cuisine, with every bite carrying the weight of your inevitable food debt that you wear like a badge of honor. Every penny spent is a glorious investment in the art of flavor, a decision that you will never regret, no matter how many bank alerts follow.

The Beijing Beef—a revelation. The crispy, tender beef tossed in a rich, savory sauce that sings with every bite. Each piece is a perfect balance of sweetness and heat, wrapping you in layers of decadence. You will find yourself sinking deeper into food debt with every bite, yet unable to stop, because how can you ever deny such perfection?

Then there’s the Orange Chicken. The gold standard. So crispy, so tangy, and coated in a sauce that’s the perfect mix of sweet and citrusy. It’s an intoxicating dance of flavors that will have you begging for more, sinking you deeper into the bliss of food debt, but, truly, this is a debt you are happy to accrue. Why fight it when every bite feels like a personal reward for your willingness to surrender to its glory?

And let’s not overlook the Apple Pie Rolls—oh, the Apple Pie Rolls. A glorious, warm bite of crispy, golden-brown perfection with a sweet apple filling that feels like a warm embrace for your soul. Every piece is a journey to a higher plane, where food debt becomes an offering rather than a concern. When you dip them in the accompanying cream sauce, you’ve sealed your fate. You’ll be in debt for days, but it’s worth every moment of it.

And, of course, the Chicken Egg Rolls—crispy, filled to the brim with savory chicken and vegetables, perfectly fried to achieve that delicate crunch. These rolls are the epitome of indulgence, each bite building the mountain of food debt that you’ll happily climb again and again.

In Lafayette, Fat Panda is the ultimate destination, where every dish is a celebration of flavor, and every meal is a pact with food debt. You will surrender your finances, but what you receive in return is unmatched greatness—and a feeling that you have tasted the very essence of...

How often after a long exhausting day starving waiting in line just to see that there was no chow mein all the vegetables and meat mixes only just had vegetables in it almost all of the entrees were all gone everything looked old and used stuff like this really grinds my gears. I've gone to other Panda Expresses even when it's close to closing and they had everything ready to go even if it meant them having to throw up some food at the end of the night these people are just lazy and just try to close up right in times so they can go home I saw everything was pretty much cleaned and ready for them to go home they were turning off the lights before the store was even closed it's just extremely inconsiderate and I'm professional. When I worked in an if you like this we wouldn't start wrapping up until the end of the night when all the customers were gone it's just common courtesy. Will never go here again and I'm pretty sure the hours on Google are wrong they say it's closed like an hour or so earlier than they really are it just seems like they did that on purpose so they can just go home try to avoid going here at all costs I had to drive back home hungry this is completely...

This is the BEST Panda Express food I’ve ever eaten. I was so surprised, I had to get up and see who was doing the cooking.

In this age of political correctness and DEI, you’re not supposed to say anything about race/gender/age, but this is so newsworthy, I’m going to run the risk of being cancelled.

The wok at this Panda Express is not being manned by your average bloke off the street, it’s being manned by an authentic Chinese Auntie who knows how to impart food with “wok heh”….breath of the wok. The food has that authentic seared flavor that only comes with mastery of high heat cooking. This is full on authentic Chinese style cooking.

You have got to try this place, it’s better than most Chinese restaurants.

I grew up in the kitchen of my family’s restaurant, this is the real deal!

I hope corporate has her teach the other franchises how to duplicate her...
