A green light for the world-famous The Original Orange Chicken® as it travels southbound. Panda Express®—the world’s largest American Chinese dining concept— opens its newest branch today, April 1, 2022, at the SM Southmall in Las Piñas City.

Located at the Lower Ground Level, the latest store will be the seventh Panda Express in the whole Metro Manila area, since opening its first location at SM Megamall in Ortigas, Pasig City in late 2019. 

“We are thrilled to announce that we continue to expand our stores here. We have received so much love from our fans in the Philippines and what better way to reciprocate this kind of brand love than to bring Panda Express closer to them. We can’t wait for more people to try our American Chinese favorites, as well as the new dishes in the pipeline,” said Ned Bandojo, Business Development Head, Foreign Franchises Brands of the Jollibee Group. 

The latest store opening forms 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 more branches in the country in response to the guest cravings of savory Panda Express dishes. 

Mouth-Watering American Chinese Entrées 

The Panda Express menu includes a variety of entrées with Chinese and Sichuan influences—from its bestselling The Original Orange Chicken®, a wok-tossed crispy chicken coated in sweet tangy sauce, to Panda’s award-winning Honey Walnut Shrimp, a mouth-watering entrée made with premium crispy shrimp wok-tossed in a honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts. 

The newest dish on Panda’s serving table is Kung Pao Fish, a limited time offer product inspired by the classic Panda entrée, Kung Pao Chicken. In time for the Lenten season, Panda puts its own unique spin on the dish by using lightly breaded boneless fish, a wide variety of freshly cut vegetables along with crunchy peanuts, all tossed in a flavorful sauce with a kick.

Panda also offers Honey Sesame Chicken, available for a limited time only. 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, Honey Sesame Chicken is coated in a delicious honey sauce and topped off with sesame seeds.
