Panda Express (simplified Chinese: 熊猫快餐; traditional Chinese: 熊貓快餐; pinyin: Xióngmāo Kuàicān) is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in American Chinese cuisine. With over 2,200 locations,[3] it is the largest Asian-segment restaurant chain in the United States,[4][5] where it was founded, and is mainly located in North America and Asia (in addition to other countries and territories).[6] Panda Express restaurants were traditionally located in shopping mall food courts, but the chain now operates units in many other environments and formats, including stand-alone restaurants, as well as universities, casinos, airports, military bases, amusement parks and other venues.

The chain offers a variety of American-Chinese dishes, including orange chicken, sweet fire chicken breast, Beijing beef, grilled teriyaki chicken, and Kung Pao chicken, with certain premium dishes such as honey walnut shrimp and black pepper Angus steak having additional costs for the patron. The company is headquartered in Rosemead, California.[7] The Panda Express brand is a casual, fast-food variation of corporate sibling Panda Inn, which is a chain of upscale, table service restaurants.[5]
