I think Panda Express has better Chinese food than most Chinese places. :hehe:

i've eaten at PEx about 6 times.. and 6 times i've had Montezuma attacking from behind.

Never again.

You'd think you would've given up after Montezuma #2 or #3... :sweat:

That's determination.

Well, i figured each time that it was just THAT specific one... i have a sensative stomach, so I try to give places at least 2 trys..

Are all of 'em in SGV?

Maybe it's a conspiracy by the local Chinese restaurants to discredit Panda...

most of them (w covina, so pas, pas) .. one here by the airport.

That's odd.

There must be something they use in their cooking that affects your sensitive stomach... :headscratch:


Can't say that a Panda has messed me up yet.... Knock on wood. :sweat:

Are you allergic to any food???
Maybe some ingredients they put in, you might be allergic to it.....maybe :sweat:

only thing i know of is excessive msg, and supposedly PEx doesn't use msg.

I thought they used a small amount in some of the food.....I don't know, I haven't looked into it since i don't eat Panda Ex. that much

They might not use it during cooking, but if they use some pre-made stuff like in shoyu, oyster sauce, etc., then................... :sweat:

i dont usually add shoyo when i eat those kinds of chinese food...

Well, I was thinking that they added that stuff during cooking, so you're getting the MSG from a third party, so to speak... :)

hmm... it's possible, but i doubt it would be enough to rough up my tummy.

True. Maybe Panda's cooks are overzealous with the seasonings.

i always thought it came in a large plastic bag, premade... kinda like Del Taco's meat.

for me....i think it might have something to do with some of the sauces, actually yesterday's chinese buffet, i felt fine....
but i think if i had too much dairy and cheese items, they might make my stomach uneasy, must be an asian thing. but i can still have dairy and cheese, just not too too much. :hehe:

Chasu ramen.

If it's in a miso broth instead of a shoyu broth, they may call it Chasumiso ramen.



Bon appetit,
