Local Chinese restaurants have provided me with better Chinese food than either of these places ever will, but if I have to choose one of these two disappointing places, I would go with Panda Express. It doesn't taste too different from that of P.F. Chang's, but it's half the price, it takes half the time cook somehow, yet the quality isn't significantly worse. "Gourmet Chinese Food" is still a stretch, though.
Never seen either. However, I must share the joy that is Mr. Lau's Buffet King. All you can eat chinese food is good, but you don't go for that. You go for the sticky red ribs.
