About Panda Express
Panda Express is the American-Chinese fast-food chain that built its menu on the Orange Chicken and a build-your-own Plate format with steamed white rice, chow mein, or fried rice as a base.
Across more than 40 years of operation, the Panda Express menu has evolved into a mix of long-running classics and seasonal limited-time offers. The 10 items below are organized by menu category — appetizers and shareables first, then soups and salads, entrees, sides, desserts, and the bar program. Use the category links on each row to jump to a full comparison across every chain Menu Voyager covers.
If you are scanning prices ahead of a visit, note that Panda Express uses a $ price tier on Menu Voyager, with most entrees priced inside the range shown in each section. Lunch and weekday menus may apply lower fixed-price combos that are not always reflected in the standard dinner card. Where a chain runs a long-standing daily promotion (riblets at similar grill chains, Wing Tuesday at sports bars, Aussie 3-Course bundles at steakhouses) we have noted it inline.
