REAL Chinese food. I would KILL for a Panda Express Orange Chicken now. But the big serving...I would have to serve a jail term, so it needs to be worth it.

If you think there's anything authentic about the food.... I'm sorry. Panda Express is your typical Chinese chain restaurant to cater to the American palette.

And I disagree that the spot has been hard to rent out, a restaurant owner in lower sproul said the university is trying to drive her out by doubling her rent in order to make room for Panda Express. There is plenty of cheap healthy food in lower sproul and I really don't want that to be displaced!

Aside from the bookstore, there never has been one. Past attempts to let in chains would have meant the pushing out of the local vendor owned and operated eateries that occupy the basement now--one of which has been there for more than 20 years. It might seem innocuous, but it really is about the character of the campus and the way the student owned operations have managed to go a different route when all others never even had the chance to choose. That said, I'm going for some orange chicken right now.
