Not particularly.

I like Panda Express. :D

Man, I love Chinese food.

I love it so much, I even tried eating at Panda Express. Once. :bleh:

Panda Express?!?!?.... :beatyou: Thats like Amercian-nized chinese food... :shakehead: I hate that stuff, authetic chinese food over panda express any day!!... :woot:

authetic chinese food

???

Okay, so I won't be going back to Panda Express any time soon. But along the lines of authentic chinese food...

The only time I ever had a real problem with chinese food was when a friend brought me to her Uncle's restaurant in the city for a family celebration.

They were serving stuff that they don't put on the menu for their "American" customers. And all I can say is... as an "American" customer, I'm grateful.

That might have been the roughest meal I ever had to get through.

It went from stuff I couldn't chew through, to stuff that was so hot I thought it was gonna blow my head off, to stuff I couldn't bring myself to look at. And it was all finished off with this sweet or sweetened ball of rice, with black stuff in the middle.

Ga!

Man, give me that Americanized Chinese food every time.

Sounds like you had a bad experience geezer.... Well im an ABC so thats why I love my chinese food... :hehe:

I'm ABC as well, but I'm a meat 'n' potatoes guy...

As far as Panda's concerned, I love their chow mein! The typical Chinese chow mein is fried to death and is soaking in a sea of gloppy gravy and chicken... :bleh:

I must admit their orange chicken is pretty good... :mrgreen:

Aren't the ABCs the one's who DON'T like their chinese (especially compared to FOBs)?

Blasphemy x2!

There are different types of chow mein, with different noodle thicknesses and different sauces. Maybe you ordered the Hong Kong style fried noodles. There are other varieties as well...

As for the orange chicken...

...

...

That's all I can say... :hehe:

I think Panda ain't too bad. I think it's the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin cooking since Panda is more Cantonese influenced...

-I like the Orange Chicken and the BBQ pork, as well as some of the stir-fry dishes.

Of course...nothing compares to Sam Woo if you're talking Chinese BBQ (Cantonese) cooking!!! The BEST Cha Siu (BBQ Pork), Syu Ap (BBQ Roast Duck), and Soy Gau (Shrimp Dumpling) Wonton (Pork Dumpling) soup! My favorite!! I think I'll get my wife to go there tonight for dinner!!

Yeah, you're right: there are different types, but every goddamn "real" Chinese restaurant that has chow mein only has that bogus Hong Kong style chow mein...

Panda's is a lo mein and that's the way I like it., with an assortment of veggies and stuff, not a drowning of the noodles (which are lame to begin with) with gravy, chicken, and bok choy. :bleh: :bleh:

When at was at Milpitas last week..I went to this great Chinese resturant..China Palace..like 2 miles from the Great Mall..the place is cheap and yummy..most of the dish was 5.50..and they served free thai tea w/ pearl, water, and tea..awesome place :mrgreen:

i like chinese food...doesn't really matter to me if it is authentic or not
both are good...
but for americanized chinese food, i actually like pick up sticks better than Panda express
