An Italian Tries Panda Express for the First Time 🤣

Hey guys, welcome to today's video. It is an exciting day because Alessio is about to have pasta for the very first time. The real pasta. Not the first time. What's pasta first time? Why? Amor, you've had the imitation pasta, the Italian pasta. Chinese pasta is the first pasta ever created. No, no. Chinese don't invent nothing. The Italians invent pasta. Oh, you're gonna go there? Yeah, I mean, comment guys. What about Marco Polo? What? Marco Polo go see China and said konnichiwa. It's Japanese. The Chinese were the inventors of pasta and now it's going to be your education to see why they deserve the title. Let's go review this food. No, food! Okay, we go inside the panda. Amore, look, look at this. I look a panda? Actually, kind of. You look exactly like one. I know, I know. That's so cute. Thank you. Andiamo, amore. Let's go. Thank you. Beautiful. Wow, I think they redecorated because I don't remember this. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. This is really nice. Go ahead. Look at that cute dragon. All right, look, so much food here. We got everything because we have to have it. Let's try the real deal. So, let's see what we've got in the first box. My god, so much. There is our real pasta. To me, it doesn't look like a real pasta to me, but you know. It's like a tagliatelle. What are you talking about? What tagliatelle, amore? This is not tagliatelle. So, we got the lo mein, we got the steak, we got a lot of different types of chicken, like with the green beans, the sweet and sour, and then our other box, rice, or as you know in Italy, risotto. No, this is not risotto. Amore, this is just riso, riso freddo, maybe. And then we've got pineapples on top of the pizza. Then we've got the iconic, everyone's favorite, orange chicken. Oh, is it spicy, that? Orange chicken, no. But why do they have that thing? This one is spicy. Oh. A little bit. And we got a collection of different types of chicken to try. So, I'm excited. It looks really good. Chinese, you said, can invent pasta, right? That's what they say. And the Italians, Marco Polo, bring to Italy and make better. I'm not gonna say that. Okay, right. So, let's see what you think. Oh, very Italian of you. No chopsticks. They don't give us chopsticks, but look how good it is rolling. So, it means that they don't cut the pasta. Beautiful. So, if they don't cut the Okay. Let's go. Let's see if it actually tastes good. I like it. Yes. I like it. World's original pasta approved by world's pickiest Italian. No, I want to just say one thing. That's the title of this video. But I want to just say the right thing. What, Tom? For the price. Yeah. This amount of food and we still have these things because I don't know what this is. Oh, yeah. We got sides. We got things. We got hidden secrets. What's this? Oh, those are other sides. Okay, so each like big plate, you get a side and three entrees. No, I just say, first time in America, guys see so much food. For the price. For this price and decent. This is beat Olive Garden in two minutes. My gosh. Who's Olive Garden? Forget Olive Garden and stuff like that. Forget Olive Garden, guys. Come to Panda. Why are you going to Olive Garden? Come eat the Panda. Even if they mix everything. Was that the steak or the chicken? Steak. It's not bad. It has to be spicy. I don't think that one was supposed to be spicy. It is. Look at these red things. You see that? Yeah. That is spiciness. Like, come on. Let me take another one. This is a premium item, by the way. So you get a little bit of an upcharge when you buy the steak. Can I go with the chicken? Yeah, go. My God, it's fantastic. Really? You like it? Yeah. Let's just say this is probably not authentic Chinese food, okay? This is like the Olive Garden of Chinese food. This is the Olive Garden of Chinese food? Probably people who make real authentic Chinese food would look at this and say, that looks like Olive Garden. Well, I just say, if this is your Olive Garden, you are better than us because our Olive Garden, I reject every single item. That's true. If this is your Olive Garden, guys, you can complain, but come on. Us, we are in a bad situation. You are really good. Have you already tasted this? Oh, me? Yeah. Me and Panda, we go back a long time already. Like when? We were good friends in college. In college? Yeah. I have to tell you, I basically lived off of Panda Express all through college. Oh, wow. So now you pizza, normal pizza, frozen? No, no, no. Every time- No fazoles? No, every day after dance rehearsal, because I was on the dance team, I'd go to Panda Express in like the student center, and I would get Panda Express, but I would get a bowl of rice and the orange chicken every single time. And that is basically what I ate every single day. Well, I just say, and how much cost then? Oh gosh, I don't remember. I think it was like $6 for the bowl. So for a student that maybe need to save even money, it is a great thing. It was cheaper than buying the cafeteria deal, where you go and you eat cafeteria food, much cheaper. So I haven't eaten it in a long time, probably since college. So I'm excited to see if this flavor brings me back. So you take rice and some chicken? And orange chicken. So you don't try one and one, you try both. Oh no, you gotta put them together. Okay, okay. I'm not professional, but I have to go back to the plate. I'm happy to say, over 10 years later, it tastes the same. Tastes the same? No, no. They haven't changed a thing. Okay, right. They haven't changed a thing. But you still like it? Mm-hmm. You know, I never branched out and tried any of the other types. I always got orange chicken. So I think this is the sweet and sour one. It's supposed to be spicy, I think. Spicy? Mm-hmm. Okay, it's not for me. I don't wanna go that direction. Oh, but it's so good. It's a good spicy. Well, I tell you, try the steak first. Okay. Try this steak, if you agree with me. That it's delicious? It is delicious. Right? Mm-hmm. That's the stuff. That is the stuff. But, I'm sorry, it doesn't beat the orange chicken. You have to try orange chicken, Amore. This is their iconic piece. Can I try first the risotto? Yes, try the risotto. Ragazzi, I call risotto, but it's not a risotto. Let me put it close to you. They put egg, they put everything, but it's not risotto, remember. It's fried risotto. Why I bring you out to eat with me? Because you love me so much. How's the risotto? The rice is not my favorite. Okay, you prefer the pasta, which makes sense because it's the world's first pasta. Okay, that's fine. Go ahead. Now, let's see if you like the most well-loved item at Panda Express. The pandas. The chicken is good, but... But? I prefer this. Okay, you're not allowed to eat Panda Express anymore. You've insulted the world. Really? Amore, this is the most popular thing on the menu. No, I wanna see the people in the comments, they're gonna agree with me, because this is... Guys, what's your favorite? Your go-to? It's a huge piece of chicken, oh my god. Yeah, what is called this? I think you're eating the green bean one, the string bean one. And then this is it? The orange chicken. Okay, which one, guys, is the best? Like, tell me the truth. This is it. Wow, fantastic. Okay, let me try the pasta. Let's see how you're swirling the pasta, because let's see if you are professional after living with an Italian. Oh my goodness. I'm close enough. Oh my goodness. Close enough. Okay, let's go. It is good, right? It's better than rice. You cannot... I'd take that over pasta al pomodoro any day. No, no, no. Listen, this is much better for American pasta, but you cannot beat the Italian pasta. What's an iconic animal from Italy? Do you guys have an animal that's famous? I'm gonna say the wolf, but it's not the wolf. Okay, your wolf versus the panda. Two seconds is the wolf eating the panda. The cute panda is gone. It's really gone. I'm putting my money on the panda. That's delicious. It's delicious. But what I'm a little confused about is, like, the third entree. Yeah. It's got on all... This is just vegetables. Mixed together. Okay, this is like a different kind of chicken. Okay, and I tried it. It's not breaded. It's just grilled, it looks like. Grilled chicken. But they choose it. No, you choose it. It's not good. No, it's good, but I prefer the the breaded one. The breaded one. Because it has a special crunch, you know? Yes. What's the other one in your little box? Another chicken with some vegetables, different vegetables. Zucchini. Maybe this is the Kung Pao chicken. Maybe it's the same. This is the same. This is more vegetables. This is the first time I'm gonna give food to the neighbors. Oh, yeah. What I'm gonna eat, I'm gonna save it for tonight. Okay, that's really good as well. I like how there are a lot of vegetables in there. Zucchini, peppers. But you still prefer this one, right? I don't know. I mean, I go back to the junky version. This one's too healthy. Just when you thought we had enough food. My god, so this is the egg roll. Try it. I wonder, can I cut it? Just eat one side. Okay. I think I prefer veggie egg rolls more though. This one, I think it's chicken flavored. I think I prefer the vegetable. I like it. I am eight of the ten. Whoa. Yeah. Okay, now you try the cream cheese rangoon. We were supposed to be put sauce? No, I think, well, this one you can, but I think the spring rolls usually do more sauce. You see? Beautiful. Sorry, cut that. What is it? Cream cheese. Good, but you like the other one better. Yeah. Let me try. I like it. You like it? It is, to me, it's nothing special. It needs some sauce, this. Because there's not a lot of flavor. No, it's not a lot of flavor. But I like it. Yeah, well. Spring rolls. Spring rolls. And these, we're gonna put sauce. We have chili sauce, which sounds spicy, or sweet and sour sauce. Let's go with that one. Go ahead. Because I already think I hit my spicy maximum today. It's in a spring roll. I would do it on top, but different ways. You're not correct. Yeah. You're supposed to dip it in there, really swirl it around. Yeah, yeah. This is the best one. Wow. This is the top. The top? Yeah, I like this one the best. Let's do your spring roll, but you need. No, no. I'm gonna, don't do it the weird way. I do without the sauce. That's wrong. I know. You need to always try without it. So without it, I don't like it. The sauce elevated, but it's because the sauce elevated. He's wrong, guys. This one's the best side out of all three. I think this is a four of the ten. Don't believe him. Believe me. Don't believe him. Don't believe my You're not qualified. I've been eating a panda for so many years. So many years. So you are most qualified. Don't trust him. Now the only other thing I haven't tried is your favorite chicken. The one that you said was better than the orange chicken. Yeah. Again, not qualified. It's much better. This is much better than any other chicken. I'll say it's on an equal level with the orange chicken. Thank you. I already see the comments that it's in favor of me. For happiness, I'm always gonna go orange chicken. Okay, okay. For your childhood. That one's really good. Yeah, it is really good. We are not finished yet. We have the cookie, fortune cookies. Obviously the most important part. Yes, but for now the score, how is the score for the food? So in my opinion, I give a really good score. I give an eight of the ten. Shoot, that's what I was gonna say. Eight. I'm gonna complain only after I eat all the meal, only the vegetables. In my opinion, there are no wow factor, the vegetables. Like the beans. Yeah, it looks like all stuff, um, pre-warm up. Respect the chicken, because they do it right there. So that is take down the score. If it was just the vegetables, for me it was a two of the ten, but. So problem solved, just don't eat the vegetables. Don't eat the vegetables. Just eat the chicken and the lo mein or the rice. Exactly. Problem solved. Who needs the vegetables? So we have four cookies. So the fortune it is, in these four cookies, who's gonna find the right one? So they said that you can find one, I think the one million dollars inside. That's not true. Yes, you take two at once. What are you doing? Oh, we only get one? Yes. Okay, I'm feeling good about this one. This one. I thought we got to eat two, just in case. What if my fortune's terrible? No problem. You know, I still have a fortune from my college days in my wallet. Like an old one. Oh yeah. Ready? Go. I already opened. You shall attain great wisdom with each passing year. Yeah, that's sort of how it works. Your greatest asset is your positive perspective. When I do this food reviews, it's perfect. Good one, Panda. That's a really good funny joke. For who? Positive perspective. You're shaking the camera for your positive perspective. I'm positive. Yeah, okay, keep telling us. Every food review is a prospective. Keep telling yourself that. Okay, ragazzi. Ciao.
