Panda Express Is Experimenting With A New Takeout-Style Meal

Panda Express is tapping into a little carryout nostalgia at its Innovation Kitchen in Pasadena, California.

The chain is testing a new Shanghai Beef Noodle Box, featuring beef and noodles wok-tossed in a soy-garlic sauce, served in that classic Chinese takeout carton we’ve all come to know and love. This mini meal currently goes for $9.70.

Panda Express is positioning the new offering as a quick bite or snack, giving customers another way to enjoy its menu beyond the usual plate or bowl. The chain is also teasing the possibility of more takeout box-style offerings down the line, so this could be the first of several new additions.

For now, Panda Express hasn’t announced plans for a wider rollout. If you want to get your hands on the Shanghai Beef Noodle Box, you’ll have to make your way to the Innovation Kitchen at 3867 E. Foothill Blvd. in Pasadena.
