“Orange Chicken”
Review of Panda Express

Panda Express
Ranked #9 of 10 Quick Bites in Milpitas
Restaurant details
Reviewed 22 April 2015

I'm Chinese American, so while I like all varieties of authentic Chinese food from HK style, dim sum, Shanghainese, Taiwanese, Sichuan, Hunan... etc... there's something about that orange chicken that gut punches the food snob in me and just enjoys what's good, no matter how

This is good for a quick lunch. I usually get the two dish combo plate that comes with chow mein or rice. My favorite two dishes to order are orange chicken and walnut prawns. This time I opted however for orange chicken and kung pao chicken. Portions are good size and sometimes I even ask them to put in less chow mein just because they give you so much for a reasonable price..

It can be busy as its a popular Panda Express to stop at during lunch hour or after work when one does not want to cook. Staff is friendly and works hard to deliver food and service as quickly as possible. The chefs in the place always seems to be cooking during the busy times to replace things as they run low; as such in general food is relatively freshly cooked.

There are sides such as egg rolls, etc.

Orders are served with fortune cookie - i.e. the two dish plate will have one fortune cookie with it.

Parking is by the restaurant and is free. Often people take the food for take out but they do have both inside and outside patio seating as well.

There are other ordering options such as family style or small bowl style if one wants a bit less.

My personal four star rating is given since it is a reasonably good price at a good price for a quick meal. Is is the best Asian food in the area - no, but for a fast food place, its a good place to go.

Hey not sure what is going on here but really?? It feels like when you order from here, the employees make it feel like they are giving away their own food. Portions are small and it tastes all the same

There's no fooling myself, I know this is not authentic Chinese food, but it is a nice and fairly cheap alternative to the burger you get across the street. It seems fresher and the dishes are always being refreshed so it allows you to get whatever hasn't been sitting out the longest. The Orange Chicken I've kind of become addicted to eating. It is pretty good with the chow mein.

This is a American Chinese food. Sometimes new entree will be there for trying. It is a good place for people who get off work late.
