Panda Express is the largest American Chinese fast food chain, known for Orange Chicken, chow mein, and build-your-own plate and bowl combos.
Panda Express serves chinese at locations across the United States. The chain opened in 1983 and runs its operations from Rosemead, CA. Below you get the Panda Express menu with prices, calories, allergens, and popular picks so you can plan an order before you go. We track 64 items across 5 menus, updated on a rolling schedule through 2026.
On price, Panda Express lands in the budget part of the chinese market, shown as $ on this page. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Rosemead, CA, the brand has built its menu around a core set of items that repeat across every location, with regional additions in some markets. Consistency is the point of a chain, so the lineup travels well, even though each franchise owner sets the price you actually pay. For ordering and the brand's own nutrition disclosures, Panda Express publishes an official site, which we link at the top of this page.
Menus at Panda Express cover 5 categories: Plates & Bowls, Entrees, Appetizers & Sides, Family Meals, and Seasonal Menu. The menu lists 64 items in total. Regular favorites include Korean Fried Wings, Bibimbap Bowl, T-Bone Steak, and Prime Rib. Every item on this page shows its price and calorie count where we have it, plus common allergens, so you can compare before you order.
A few items pull most of the orders at Panda Express.
Expect Panda Express prices from $2.49 to $9.99 across the menu. A typical item runs about $6.12. The cheapest pick is the Vegetable Spring Rolls at $2.49, and the Prime Rib sits at the top of the menu around $9.99. Prices change by location because franchise owners set their own pricing, so treat these as a guide rather than a quote. Airport, stadium, and highway rest-stop branches usually price higher than a standard street location.
Calories on the Panda Express menu range from about 86 to 1156 per item. The average item lands near 517 calories. That spread matters if you are watching intake, since the lighter end of the menu can be a third of the heaviest plate. 49 items carry allergen notes on this page, covering the common ones: milk, wheat, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts. Preparation shares equipment at most locations, so cross-contact is possible even when an ingredient is not listed. If you have a severe allergy, confirm with staff and check the brand's official allergen guide before ordering.
For value, Panda Express spreads 64 items across low and higher price points. Items under $6.00 include Vegetable Spring Rolls at $2.49, Bibimbap Bowl at $2.99, Korean Fried Wings at $2.99, and Mashed Potatoes at $2.99. Combos and bundles usually beat ordering the same items separately, and the Panda Express app is where most of the discounts live, including first-order offers and rotating deals. Ordering through a third-party delivery service typically costs more than the in-store price, since menu prices are often marked up before fees are added.
You can order Panda Express for dine-in, takeout, or drive-thru where available, plus delivery through the Panda Express app and third-party services in many areas. Mobile ordering lets you skip the line and customize items before you arrive, which is the fastest route at peak times. Larger orders and catering are available at many locations, though catering usually needs advance notice and may run from a shorter menu than the one listed here. Availability of each channel depends on the individual store.
Panda Express operates restaurants across the country. Use the locations page to check the nearest Panda Express address, phone number, and opening hours. Hours vary by store and by day, and holiday hours often differ from the regular schedule. Some branches run extended or late-night hours while others close earlier, so it is worth checking the individual location page or calling ahead before a late trip.
A few things worth knowing before you order at Panda Express: seasonal items are limited-time, so grab them before the lineup rotates and checking the app before you order is the simplest way to cut the total. Prices and availability on this page are estimates gathered from public sources and reviewed by our editors, so confirm anything time-sensitive with the restaurant directly.
This Panda Express menu page is compiled by our editorial team from the brand's own published menu, its app, and in-store menu boards, then cross-checked against more than one location so regional items are not mistaken for national ones. Every item is recorded with its category, price where we can verify one, calorie count where the brand publishes it, and the common allergens it carries. We re-check the page on a rolling schedule and after each seasonal launch, and the visible updated date at the top tells you how current the information is. We are an independent directory: Panda Express does not review, approve, or pay for this page, and no brand can buy a better write-up. If you spot an item or price that looks wrong, send us the restaurant and the exact item and we will verify it against the brand and correct the page.
