At Panda Express the food is made in front of you, the warming trays are replaced often with fresh batches, and the dishes are light, tasty and fresh when compared to most Chinese fast food outlets (Mr. Chau's, China Mei, etc.) It's still fast chinese food, and lacking when compared with a decent sit-down place, but for Chinese food fast and on the go, Panda Express is great!
Pros: Food is inexpensive, fresh, made in front of you
Cons: It's still chinese fast food
