The timing of our little trip left us in a hotel in Valencia, CA on Christmas Eve. As such, we were left with few Christmas Eve dinner options. Remembering the song, I suggested we go out for Chinese. Thanks to excellent 3G coverage and Yelp, we found Grand Panda in Santa Clarita.
Sorry for the blurry iPhone pic. Low light conditions.
This place was PACKED on Christmas Eve. And, we later learned, Christmas Day is actually an even busier day for them, typically.
The food was, in a word, excellent. Who would have thought that a little town like Santa Clarita would have better Chinese food than anything I’ve had in San Francisco?
