Chi Pan Asian, Baldwin Park

I tried Chi Pan Asian in Baldwin Park yesterday. I had the Kan Shaw Beef for $8.25. It was stir fried flank steak in a spicy brown sauce with julianned onions, scallion, and celery. It came with a mixed salad that was covered with a balsamic and that orange japanese salad dressing mix (best course) and rice. It was fine (not over cooked). The place was fine. The service was fine. Nothing remarkable. Typical emulative neo-asian experience. The decor was loungy modern. The bare table was clean. It was about 1/3 full.

I would only suggest what I propbably suggest to all restaurants - hide the kitchen/bathroom/staging areas. No one wants to see them. They ruin the design of the interior. They are generally odious.

You get there by taking 50 to Bennett Rd (The Roxy) and making a turn onto Broad St. It's behind Jack's Steakhouse.
