Panda Express opens in Manila, uncovers menu list

It’s a green light for the Orange Chicken—and more!

Panda Express, the largest American Chinese dining concept in the world, is giving Filipino foodies a first look at its celebrated menu items before it opens its first branch at SM Megamall in Ortigas, Pasig City.

Homegrown fast food giant Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC) revealed today that they are bringing the same Panda Express menu from abroad to the country.

Get ready for bold and savory flavors cooked fresh straight from the woks, with each dish thoughtfully prepared—from hand-cut vegetables to house-made sauces—making every dining experience even more satisfying.

Among the Panda Express staples that are coming to Manila is the best-seller signature dish Original Orange Chicken, a wok-tossed crispy chicken in a sweet and tangy sauce.

The classic favorite Broccoli Beef made of tender beef and fresh broccoli in ginger soy sauce is also expected to satisfy local foodies.

Other American Chinese favorites to be served are:

Kung Pao Chicken
A Szechwan-inspired dish with chicken, peanuts, and vegetables, finished with chili peppers

String Bean Chicken


Chicken breast, string beans, and onions wok-tossed in a mild ginger soy sauce

Asian Grilled Chicken

And if you’re on a plant-based diet, the sweet and spicy Eggplant Tofu packs some bold flavors minus the meat.
