Panda Express WTC

The chain. Panda Express is fast American-Chinese food: you build a plate by choosing rice or chow mein plus one or two dishes from the counter, among them the orange chicken that is its signature. It is cheap, fast and a long way from traditional Chinese cooking — useful for sorting out a meal between errands, not for a night out.

This branch. On the third floor of the World Trade Center complex, in Nápoles, inside the food court that serves the offices and the convention centre.

Getting there and when. The Insurgentes Metrobús stops a few streets away and Metro San Antonio is not far; the complex has paid parking. Open 13:00 to 21:00. On weekdays it fills at midday; during trade fairs and congresses at the WTC the whole area saturates, so it pays to eat outside peak hours.
