Panda Express - Mount Vernon

My broccoli beef bowl has only a couple bites it didnt even cover the rice.

I'm not quite sure what went wrong with the chow mein, but it was about 85% onion. I could only manage a few bites before I realized there were way more onions than noodles in the entire dish. I think I ended up pulling out nearly two whole onions while searching for the rare noodle hidden among all that onion. It felt like whoever made this had watched Shrek a few too many times, because these onions had layers of even more onion underneath. Stanley Yelnats would definitely have flashbacks to the mountain if he ever dared to take a bite of this monstrosity. On the bright side, the chicken was good!

The taste and flavor were what I expected from a chain restaurant, consistent as always. However, the Chow Mein was slightly on the dry side. Having just moved from Arlington, I noticed a significant difference in portion sizes compared to the Panda Express in Smokey Point. I received only about a third of the amount I’m used to, especially with the Chow Mein.

I really enjoy Chinese food, and this restaurant is a fantastic spot for it. The dishes are delicious, especially the orange chicken paired with chow mein. So tasty!

The portion size of the "BIG" plate was incredibly small—I've never seen portions this tiny before. Usually, I leave the restaurant with leftovers, as I tend to go when I'm very hungry. This was my first time ordering from Panda via DoorDash, and I'm not sure if I'll do it again.
