Uniting Our CommUnities
Our Story
For nearly 40 years, Panda Express has been sharing lovingly-crafted American Chinese cuisine with guests across the globe. But our story began with one immigrant family and a dream for a better life on the golden coast.
Panda’s cross-cultural identity extends beyond the culinary world, as we take root in our wonderfully diverse communities and invite people of all backgrounds to join us at our table for a celebration—not just of Chinese culture, but of all cultures and identities —rooted in tolerance, mutual respect, and love.
Our Vision
Ushering a New Era of Belonging
We embrace the opportunity to unite communities through uplifting voices that challenge perceptions of a monolithic America and collectively celebrating the diverse identities and heritages of the American people.
Our Actions
Panda CommUnity Fund
A $10M pledge to foster unity and understanding in our communities
To honor our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, we have created the Panda CommUnity Fund. Through this initiative, we support DE&I initiatives, such as advocacy, direct services, and education, while empowering representation and storytelling across BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+ communities and other marginalized groups.
