Panda Express is an American Chinese chain restaurant that is located in 46 U.S. with over 1,746 restaurants since of June 2015. It is the biggest Chinese fast food chain restaurant in the U.S. Panda Express is only take out and they do not deliver. When you walk in, the food is all laid out in a buffet style. The customers ask what they want and the line is quick so you don't have to wait for a long time. That way you can eat your food right away. The food quality is good. They have specials on their meals and seasonal flavors, so it is always good to come in and check it out. If you like Chinese food and aren't picky about it, then Panda Express is the place for you. On the weekdays, the afternoons is when Panda Express can be the busiest, The weekends can also be very busy, but only during dinnertime. If you are worried about finding a parking spot, don't worry, there are plenty of spots that you can use.
Entrees:
Orange Chicken, SweetFire Chicken Breast, String Bean Chicken Breast, Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Mushroom Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Eggplant Tofu, Shanghai Angus Steak, Beijing Beef, and Grilled Teriyaki Chicken.
I recommend the Honey Walnut Shrimp. You can't find the Honey Walnut Shrimp anywhere else in Bloomington-Normal. It's very addicting. The name doesn't sound pleasant, but you will be glad when you have tried it and you will get it every time you come in to Panda Express. It's Perfect for people who like shrimp and trying new flavors of food.
Appetizers:
Chicken Potstickers, Cream Cheese Rangoon, Chicken Egg Roll, Veggie Spring Roll, and Crispy Shrimp.
I recommend the Chicken Potstickers. I've ate a lot of Potstickers from other Chinese restaurants, but I prefer Panda Express Potstickers. It's different, in a good way. If you have never tried Chicken Potstickers, you should try it. It is an extra $2 for it.
Sides: Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Mixed Veggies, White Steamed Rice, and Brown Steamed Rice.
I recommend the Fried Rice. Everyone loves fried rice, and the fried rice at Panda Express has more flavor. It doesn't taste plain like other fried rice that I have tasted.
