*in America
Aside from the taste of the actual food is the advantage of consistency
It always tastes good, the way you remember, every time. And that's obviously the advantage of being a fast food chain.

Lets also get into the fact that most of their food is cooked with a better preparation (even if it is frozen), is less greasy, and honestly tastes cleaner and better than a LOT of Chinese places in America.

That all being said, obviously the best Chinese places shit eggs on Panda Express. But most Chinese places serve worse food than Panda Express for much more on the dollar.

"B-b-b-but it's not authentic! You're not getting the real Chinese food experience!"
First of all, "authentic" Chinese food is almost unpalatable to most Americans. In fact, there is no "Chinese" food in China because they would have regional variations and cuisines, not a single unified cuisine. You have Hunan food, Sichuan food, Beijing food, Hong Kong food - but not Chinese food. Similar to Italian cuisine. Second of all that "authentic" Chinese food that YOU'RE thinking of was invented in the USA and Panda Express has some of the best variations on them.

Fight me about it.
