Experience the thrill of flavorful heat! Panda Express introduces a new American Chinese classic, Spicy Bourbon Chicken, in the Philippines

The heat is officially on! Panda Express Philippines has just launched its newest American Chinese sweet and spicy, flavor-packed dish, Spicy Bourbon Chicken, which is now available for a limited time.

This unique entrée is a delicious take on a Southern American classic: bourbon chicken. The dish consists of crispy boneless chicken bites and fresh vegetables wok-tossed in a spicy and sweet bourbon sauce, then topped with sesame seeds. Spicy Bourbon Chicken features a crispy chicken coating for an addictive, comforting flavor in every bite.

To commemorate its launch, Panda Express held an exclusive media event on February 12, 2025, at its SM Mall of Asia location, where invited guests had the opportunity to sample a new American Chinese classic, Spicy Bourbon Chicken. The event included a live cooking demonstration and kitchen tour led by Resident Chef Israel Mata, who has worked for Panda Express Philippines since it first opened in the country in 2019. During the event, guests could also visit an exclusive Spice Bowl Bar and customize their Spicy Bourbon Chicken meals with side dishes to find the best match for their spice tolerance.

"More than just spice, Spicy Bourbon Chicken is a flavor-packed adventure—bold, exciting, and unforgettable." ~Patrice Tuaño, Brand Marketing Officer of Panda Express Philippines

"We wanted to cater to Filipinos who love rich, flavorful dishes— it’s best paired with a big bowl of steaming White Rice, Fried Rice, or Chow Mein!" ~Chef Israel Mata, Resident Chef

Spicy Bourbon Chicken, with its bold flavors and just the right level of heat, is only available for a limited time! To experience the heat while it lasts, visit your nearest Panda Express and order takeout, drive-thru, or delivery from our online store at order.pandaexpress.com.ph, Grab, or Foodpanda.

Panda Express® Brings New Honey Sesame Chicken Entrée to Town

To sweet beginnings and savory dishes. Panda Express®—the world’s largest American Chinese dining concept— is welcoming the New Year with a new entrée: Honey Sesame Chicken.

Available for a limited time only, Panda’s Honey Sesame Chicken is made with thin, crispy strips of all-white meat chicken raised without antibiotics and tossed with fresh-cut string beans, and crisp red bell peppers. It is coated in a delicious honey sauce and topped off with sesame seeds.

“Honey Sesame Chicken is inspired by a Cantonese dish that is traditionally made from a whole chicken with honey marinade and brushed with honey sauce when it’s fresh out of the fryer. It offers a richer flavor profile with toasty sesame seeds in each bite.” ~Chef Jimmy Wang, Head of Culinary Innovation at Panda Express

Starting January 29, 2022, Honey Sesame Chicken will be available across all Panda Express stores for dine-in, take out, and delivery through order.pandaexpress.com.ph, GrabFood, and foodpanda.

What are you waiting for? Try the new Honey Sesame Chicken while supplies last. Available at SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, DD Meridian Park Pasay and SM Grand Central in Caloocan.

People from the south, rejoice! The world-famous Original Orange Chicken™ is coming your way, as Panda Express is finally heading south of Metro Manila.

The world’s largest American Chinese dining concept is set to open its third restaurant on June 11, 2021, in the busy commercial block of Double Dragon Meridian Park in Pasay City. This will be its first store in the south and the third in the country, after launching its first location in SM Megamall in 2019 and second in SM North Edsa. 

“We are thrilled to finally countdown to our opening day and share with our fans in the South Panda Express’ exceptional American Chinese cuisine. Guests living and working around the central business district in the Bay Area have always expressed their cravings for Panda Express. And we heard them. We heard you. Panda Express is continuously introducing to Filipinos its innovative take on American Chinese cuisine that showcases the ‘Wok Hei,’ or ‘breath of the wok,’ which creates that signature smoky, umami flavor of the entrées. The top quality of ingredients, preparation, and cooking all make a difference in the addictive flavors that make our guests fall in love with Panda Express dishes.” ~Julius Marlon Dela Cruz, Panda Express Marketing Manager

The world’s largest American Chinese dining concept is set to open its third restaurant on June 11, 2021, in the busy commercial block of Double Dragon Meridian Park in Pasay City. This will be its first store in the south and the third in the country, after launching its first location in SM Megamall in 2019 and second in SM North Edsa. 

Following the blockbuster launch of its first restaurant opening at the SM Megamall in 2019 and its second store in SM City North EDSA last February, American Chinese trailblazer Panda Express is proud to announce the debut of its third restaurant located at Double Dragon Meridian Park in Pasay City.

American Chinese Classics

The Panda Express menu includes a variety of entrées with influences from the eight traditional cuisines of China. Its bestselling the Original Orange Chicken™, crispy chicken wok-tossed in sweet and tangy sauce, is inspired by Panda Express co-founder Andrew Cherng’s hometown flavors of Yangzhou, China.  

The Original Orange Chicken™ is the signature dish of Panda Express. It is a crispy chicken entrée, wok-tossed in a sweet and spicy orange sauce.

An irresistible combo of sweet and crispy, Panda Express’ Honey Walnut Shrimp is made with large tempura-battered shrimp that is lightly coated in a unique honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts.

The new Mongolian Pork entrée features a savory, umami flavor profile - combining a hint of sweetness from the caramelized onions, scallions, red peppers, and mushrooms with the smokiness of the seared pork.  

The American Chinese restaurant brand also recently introduced two new dishes to the Philippine menu. First is the Panda Express signature pescatarian-friendly dish Honey Walnut Shrimp™, which is a Canton dish inspired by Western influence that is made with large and crispy tempura-battered shrimp, lightly coated in the unique honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts.

As another best-selling international dish, Mongolian Pork is a classic American Chinese dish made with tender pork shoulder and crisp vegetables, wok-tossed in a savory garlic soy sauce. 

For guests who wish to have their favorite Panda Express dish in the comfort of their own homes, Panda is also available via Facebook Messenger and food delivery apps GrabFood® and foodpanda®. Delivery locations are within Metro Manila only.

Brand expansion

The latest Panda Express store opening is part of the plans of JBPX Foods, Inc.—the joint venture of Jollibee Foods Corporation with Panda Express operator, Panda Restaurant Group, Inc.—to open five stores during the initial phase of the partnership.
