Panda Express Brings Back Beyond Orange Chicken

The people have spoken, and Panda Express has listened. The Chinese fast-casual chain is bringing back Beyond The Original Orange Chicken after more than 7,000 fans signed a petition for its return.

As the No. 1 most requested dish on Panda’s social channels, Beyond The Original Orange Chicken offers the same crunchy texture and flavor as Panda’s signature Orange Chicken, just with plant-based Beyond Meat used as the protein. It was initially rolled out in 2022.

Fans have flooded Panda Express and Beyond Meat’s social media channels with comments requesting its return. Even @dudewithsign joined in on the fun.

Panda Express and Beyond Meat are thrilled to bring back Beyond The Original Orange Chicken at hundreds of locations nationwide, just in time to celebrate National Orange Chicken Day on July 15.
