Panda Express Secret Menu & Fan Hacks
There’s no official secret menu at Panda Express, but customers and employees have built a handful of popular ordering tricks out of existing items. Most involve mixing sides, combining sauces, or asking for an off-menu prep that staff can usually handle.
Fan-Favorite Menu Hacks
- Half-and-half sides: ask for half Chow Mein, half Fried Rice in the same portion.
- Orange Chicken burrito: Orange Chicken wrapped in a tortilla, a regional test item that went viral online.
- Extra sauce: request more sauce on a saucy entrée like Orange Chicken, usually at no charge.
- Teriyaki-Orange blend: combine Grilled Teriyaki Chicken with Orange Chicken sauce for a smokier, sweeter flavor.
- Kung Pao + Sweet Fire mix: order two entrées together for a spicy-sweet combination.
None of these are official menu items, so whether a store can accommodate them depends on the location and how busy it is. It never hurts to just ask.
Secret Menu FAQ
Does Panda Express have an official secret menu?
No. Unlike some chains, Panda Express doesn’t publish or officially back a secret menu. Everything above is a customer-built combination of existing options.
Will every location make these hacks?
Not guaranteed, since none of these are official items. It comes down to the store and how busy things are at the time.
