Panda Express

Today, when I arrived in Pasco, it was the last day before we returned to Canada. I Googled for lunch options but couldn't find a restaurant that appealed to me. Eventually, I decided to go to the Chinese chain restaurant, Panda Express. I had never considered trying Chinese fast food before. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I found it to be spacious and well-lit with plenty of seating. The menu options looked good, and when I checked the prices, I was pleasantly surprised. Two main dishes and one side dish only cost $9.80, making it the cheapest restaurant I've been to on this trip. What I liked most was that I could choose a serving of brown rice and half vegetables as the side dish. Behind the counter, I could see a chef continuously cooking, and when he noticed me taking a photo of him, he waved and smiled at me. I originally planned to get takeout, but since there were plenty of seats, I decided to dine in. The vegetables were fresh and not overcooked, the chicken stir-fry was flavorful, and the beans were crisp. The chicken breast was tender and well-seasoned,The only improvement I could suggest is to make the skin crispier. However, considering the price I paid and the quality of the food, I felt it was a great value.

Gone here for pickup several times and the food is always excellent. Don't interact much with the staff except one time I was waiting for my pickup while it was very busy, and someone still stopped and asked what my name for my order was and brought it out as soon as possible. Overall great experience here.
