Panda Express — Restaurant in Paradise

I've tried dozens of fast-food restaurants, but Panda Express is my favorite.

Panda Express offers the full package: cheap food, large portions, stellar customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The last time I visited, someone shouted "Welcome to Panda!" when I walked in.

I had to go without Panda Express for a while, as there wasn't a location nearby me in Las Vegas

But last October, the chain opened a location at south Las Vegas blvd. Now I go there every time I can't fight my craving for cheap, fast, greasy, delicious Chinese food.

I like the whole menu, but my favorite items include the deep fried orange chicken, the fried rice, and the crispy rangoons. I order a plate with two entrées and one side. I always order the orange chicken. The sweet, tangy, crispiness of the deep-fried chicken is delicious. I find that I pick the broccoli beef for my second entrée.

She really need some customers...

After being subjected to price gouging from the local hotels for a few days, I figured I would venture "outside the wall" for lunch. Since I am from the east coast, I had never been to a Panda Express. It was lunchtime and there was a pretty decent line, but their service and speed was top notch. The restaurant was well maintained, clean, and the employees were polite and friendly. Granted, this is fast food, not fine cuisine...and as long as you realize that, you'll be fine. All in all, I put the quality of the food on par with any other Chinese take out place I have been to...maybe even a little better. If you are looking for something different for a quick lunch, I'd highly recommend it. It is much better than any of the "hotel fast food" I have had since...
