On the WM grounds of 21st and Yale?...

[joiei]

blah may something more edible or useful be built in the other 2 or 3 spaces..

that may be a long wait

A new one just opened near the corner of 71st and Mingo.  It's a garish, soul-killing place.

That'd make a terrific fortune cookie: "This is a garish, soul-killing place."

I went to Panda out of curiosity and found that the food there is surprisingly decent.  Better than most of your typical greasy fast food Chinese places, at any rate.

I really wish the review was brighter.

It will give the mobs from Murphy's property someplace other than Walmart to ransack.

The Whirled said yesterday they were about to break ground, but last I looked the foundation was in.

So you're saying the World is BEHIND on the news?!?!?

Actually Panda Express isn't bad.  And this town is sorely lacking in Asian takeout.  I'd gladly see all the dirty rundown eggroll express et all... in this town cloned into something like this.  At least it's kept clean.  If I wanted gourmet I'd be paying gourmet prices.

Google shows dozens of chinese places within a few miles of the new Panda Express:  HERE.  There isn't really a shortage.  Golden Chef of Tulsa is my Chinese takeout place.

The Panda Express is neither a benefit for a detriment in my book.  It's a decent chain, but nothing special.  But it's development in underutilized space.  I'll certainly try the new kid on the block though.

Oh I agree that there is no shortage.  And while I'm certainly no food snob, in my opinion the vast majority of what is currently available in the variety of fast food, is sorely lacking.  There are one or two that I eat at on occasion, but for me the rest of them are filthy with mediocre at best food.  I suppose i should have said lacking in Good/Clean Asian takeout lol.  There are plenty of dives and questionable restaurants to play Russian roulette at.

"Fast food" makes good on half the promise of its name.

Do you ever go to Golden Gate at 26th & Harvard in the Steve's Sundry center?  Great made to order, especially their combo fried rice, it makes two or three meals. 

Townsend- There's really no such thing as "healthy" Chinese in this part of the country.  There are a couple of Thai places in town I'd consider healthy, but so much Chinese is fried, has tons of fat in it, or HFCS.

I saw the stat and thought I'd post it since there was one going in by our neighborhoods.  I used to fool myself into thinking take out wasn't bad for me since there were so many vegetables...then reality kicked in.

I really think they should have to post nutrition information.  It might help our weight issues.

No kidding!  I only go for Chinese now if I'm looking to be bad for dinner or lunch.  Do you and the Mrs. ever partake in Thai Siam?  I'm thinking with tinges of the flu, I'm due for Tom Yum Gai soup.

We have...I made the mistake of learning I don't like coconut milk on my first trip there.

I know the other food is good due to being told numerous times from others but I have a hard time going back to a place when all I know is a dish that wasn't to my liking.

I need to give it another shot.
