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.
