The OG Orange Chicken
Dubbed the Chinese Food King, Panda Express has been serving tray after tray of American Chinese fast-food cuisines since 1983. Sure, everybody knows that they’re famous for their sensational Orange Chicken entrée. But did you know that there’s a very good reason why it says ‘The Original Orange Chicken’ under it on their menu?
That’s right! Panda Express is home to the very first Orange Chicken ever made. Impressed yet?
Humble Beginnings
With 2,200 locations as of 2019, they are indeed the largest Asian segment restaurant chain in the United States. Panda Express had its fair share of humble beginnings, previously only opening outlets at food courts and major shopping malls. However, you can now find a Panda Express in various universities, airports, casinos, amusement parks, and even military bases.
Wok Smart
Besides being a trailblazer, we think that Panda Express also deserves a nod of approval for prioritizing their valued customers’ health. Their Wok Smart dishes boast an array of fan-favorite items with a guarantee that they contain at least 8g of protein and calories amounting to no more than 300
If Orange Chicken isn’t your thing, you may be tempted by other bold flavors from Panda Express. Dishes like the Kung Pao Chicken, Beijing Beef, and the Black Pepper Angus Steak are all fan favorites. These classics are available online for pick-up or delivery!
Ways to Order
There’s just something unique about everyone passing around those little take-out boxes of Chow Mein and Fried Rice at the dining table. It’s just not enough to settle for what you’ve ordered alone. With that in mind, allow us to provide you with a little guide on how to have the best Panda Express delivery experience for your next Chinese take-out craving
1. Panda Express Delivery Partner
Too lazy to sit through traffic? Dreading the thought of waiting in line? Food delivery services seem to be everybody’s best friend when it comes to satisfying food cravings. You can have almost anything on Panda Express menu delivered to your doorstep or be available for pickup within an hour. Panda Express caught on to this, choosing to partner with popular delivery companies like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Postmates.
If you’re someone who’s always on the go, you’re likely to prefer ordering Panda Express delivery using your mobile phone. The app versions of all the listed delivery companies are available both on Google Play Store and Apple’s IOS App Store. Take full advantage of the various membership perks or discounts that these apps offer to enjoy your Panda Express at a lower price.
2. Panda Express Website and App
Unfortunately, all the convenience that popular delivery apps provide does come at a cost. More so, if you opted not to pay for the app’s membership fees. You’ll likely find that your bill at the checkout page is a little more expensive than what you would pay at their physical restaurants.
No worries, though! Panda Express has its very own website and mobile app where you can enjoy online delivery or pick-up services as well. What’s more, they do not hike the prices up as high as their delivery partners do. Just find the store nearest to you and start placing your order!
Another advantage of ordering Panda Express delivery through their own platforms (Panda Delivers) is their Group Order feature. The orders you and your buddies make with separate devices will be combined into one single order, saving you the need to read out every item on the list to your buddy or send screenshots of the menu back and forth. And in case you want to make it clear that dinner’s not on you, the system also lets you choose between payments from one user or multiple ones.
