Brace yourself, fellow Americans...
As of today, Fat Panda is open near Noksapyeong station. It's basically Panda Express with Orange Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, Chow Mein- the works. It tastes just like it did back home.
It's a little pricey, and the portions aren't great for that price, but definitely a great taste of home! They are also giving free drinks today.
Not sure of the exit, buy it's near Haebongcheon and Yangson. I highly recommend! |

Do they have veggie mushu? I'm not going to even bother asking if they have it steamed, because even stir fried would be acceptable. |

Is this a fast food chain in America that spread to Korea? Or is it "made in Korea?" |

I've never had Panda Express, but at this point I'd be willing to sacrifice quality a bit for some mushu. |

I'm hoping a Chinese fastfood chain hits Korea. The closet I saw to one in Korea was Fuyi, but it seems that chain has unfortunately closed.
Still, Fat Panda deserves a look. |

I'm not a fan of Panda express, but it will do in a pinch. |

A bit, it's been influenced by what the Korean customers say. I remember the owner telling saying he changed the recipe for hot and sour soup like seven times because of complaints from both Korean and non-Korean customers. I remember the soup being served with crackers but Ho Lee Chow doesn't. |

I ate there today. It was mediocre, but still 100x better than Koreanized Chinese food. |

Can the orange chicken really be the same as at Panda Express? IF so it's worth it. |
