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.
