"I was at Plaza Bonita on Black Friday, checking out the items available at a 50% discount. When it was time for lunch, I headed to the Panda Express stall located inside Plaza Bonita Mall. As usual, I ordered a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, along with one of my favorite dishes, Kong Pao chicken. Unfortunately, my other favorite, the eggplant with tofu, was not available at the time. Additionally, I decided to get a side of chicken egg roll.Although it was a small stall in the fast-food section of the mall, I was pleased with the service I received. Joe, who I believe is the manager, was incredibly welcoming and seemed to know what he was doing. I had a funny moment when I was pointing at what appeared to be their egg roll, which turned out to be an apple pie. Joe noticed my confusion and correctly pointed out the chicken egg roll and vegetable spring roll, clearing up any confusion. We shared a good laugh about the mix-up, which added a lighthearted touch to my dining experience.Now, onto the food itself. The combination of half fried rice and half chow mein in my bowl was satisfying. The fried rice had a nice balance of flavors, and the chow mein noodles were cooked well. The Kong Pao chicken, my favorite, did not disappoint. The chicken was tender, the peanuts crunchy, and I particularly loved how the zucchini was cooked to perfection, adding a delicious touch to the dish.While I was disappointed that the eggplant with tofu, another personal favorite, was not available, I have to say that the overall quality of the food was still commendable considering the fast-food setting. The chicken egg roll I ordered as a side dish was crispy and flavorful, providing a nice accompaniment to my meal.To quench my thirst, I decided to go for a bottle of Coke Zero, which was served chilled and complemented my meal nicely.Despite being a small stall in the fast-food area of Plaza Bonita Mall, my experience at the Panda Express stall was positive. Joe, the manager, was friendly and attentive, and the food, although missing one of my favorites, was enjoyable. If you're in the mall and craving some Chinese-American cuisine, I would recommend giving this Panda Express stall a try."
