A Panda Express Copycat Recipe
Panda Express
Panda Express is a fast food restaurant chain that serves American Chinese cuisine. Founded in California in 1983, Panda Express has grown from one family-owned restaurant to over 2,200 locations all over the world and is now the largest Asian food restaurant chain in the United States.
Panda Express restaurants were traditionally located in shopping mall food courts, but the chain now operates stand-alone restaurants, as well as locations in universities, casinos, airports, military bases, amusement parks and other venues.
Orange Chicken, Panda Express’ most popular entree was developed in 1987 inspired by the flavors of Hunan Province of China. Since 2016 they have served more than 80 million pounds of Orange Chicken.
