Chinese Cuisine Mashup Dishes

The Panda Express Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef is Seasonal

The Panda Express Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef has been debuted by the Chinese American cuisine brand as a mashup of several dishes to provide diners with something new to enjoy this fall. The dish starts off with high-quality shrimp that has been covered in a crunchy tempura batter and paired with crispy strips of beef before being complemented by veggies and a spicy, savory and umami-rich sauce. The dish takes multiple aspects from the brand's various existing dishes and merges them together to create something new that diners are expected to savor on their next visit.

The Panda Express Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef will be on the menu starting October 8, 2025 and is launching alongside the Wok Wednesdays experience within the Panda Rewards app.
