Panda Express

<p>Of the numerous Panda Express restaurants, few have as sleek a building design as South Pasadena's. There's outdoor seating and plenty of parking, too. Panda Express makes for a decent late dinner or an easily accessible lunch. The Chinese cuisine offers vegetables over French fries and other deep fried drive-thru eats.</p> <p>The dining area is well maintained and air-conditioned. Panda Express is very affordable: a little more than five dollars buys a generously portioned two-item combination that includes rice and/or chow mein.</p>
