If there's a new restaurant opening in Lansing, you can be sure of two things: 1) I'm going to find out about it, and 2) I'm going to let you know ASAP. And I think this is about as ASAP as it can be, seeing as how its Grand Opening is the day I'm writing this.

If you haven't driven along Lake Lansing by Eastwood Towne Center recently, then you probably missed the fact that Panda Express has had a little countdown going, letting you know how many days you had to wait for them to open before you could get their famous Orange Chicken. Well, the wait is over because the newest location of Panda Express just opened!

A New Panda Express Just Opened in Lansing

This new Panda Express is located at 2750 Preyde Blvd, just west of 127, adjacent to Eastwood Towne Center.

The grand opening was Wednesday, May 29th, and y'all... they went all out.

Now I know that Panda Express is a chain restaurant, but here me out; what Panda Express brings to the table (besides that addictively delicious Orange Chicken) is consistency. I can confidently say, I've never had bad Panda Express. And sometimes, I just need to know that the meal I'm about to eat is going to be good, no questions about it.
