Who needs Chinatown when you have Panda Express (neighborhood, restaurants)

[Kefir King]

McDonalds in Chinatown

That is a criminal phrase.

Those aren't Chinese food places. Next thing you will say is that Olive Garden is real Italian food.

do they have pasta and ketchup or Beefaroni ? then it is not real italian food .

There's been one on Fordham and Jerome for almost a year now. I don't see why this is big news or thread worthy. The food is a decent take on chinese takeout food. It is less greasy and "syrupy" than the average around the way chinese takeout place. The egg rolls are pretty good. A little pricey for what it is though. Their "fried rice" isn't really fried which is lame.

I've never been there but I agree, it's not thread worthy. It's no different from a Chipotle or Olive Garden.

I've traveled to many countries that aren't exactly "developed" and have never gotten sick from eating food. Thanks New York!

Who needs a car when you have tricycles? Who needs houses when you have cardboard boxes?? Who needs bathrooms when you have buckets???

Plus I don't see what's different between NYC and elsewhere in the US when it comes to this

Nah, PF Chang is comparable to Olive Garden. Panda Express = Sbarro.

i like panda express. it brings back memories of my childhood, when my mom would drag me to shopping malls. panda express and chick-fil-a were my favorite part of those trips, and now we have both in nyc!
