No I am in California. We have quite a few Panda Expresses around here. I think they originated out of Los Angeles? But they have expanded quite a lot, not sure how far? Anyways they are mostly in Malls and such. You order your food from a buffet style counter. One item, two item, or three items, with steamed rice, fried rice or Chow mein, and then any sides. Pay and then sit down. The food can be pretty good to pretty poor, but its popular. Nothing compared to a good Chinese restaurant though.
