A Panda Express Side is an à la carte portion of one of the brand’s signature rice, noodle, or vegetable dishes, ideal for pairing with an entrée or rounding out a family-style spread. Guests can choose from Chow Mein, Fried Rice, White Steamed Rice, or Super Greens, each available on its own without ordering a full combo. Sides are also the easiest way to add extra portions to a Family Meal or Panda Bundle.

The biggest advantage of ordering a Panda Express Side separately is being able to add exactly the portion you need: whether that’s an extra side for a Family Meal, a lighter option like Super Greens to round out a combo, or a bigger side for a hungrier appetite.

How to Choose the Best Panda Express Sides

Picking the right Panda Express Side comes down to two things: whether you want a lighter, vegetable-based option or a heartier rice or noodle dish, and how the calories fit into your day. Every side here can also be swapped into a Bowl, Plate, or Bigger Plate order instead of ordering it on its own.
