The Best Vegan Options at Panda Express
Your ultimate guide to building a plant-based meal at Panda Express.
Eating Vegan at Panda Express
Panda Express significantly improved its vegan menu in recent years by removing chicken broth from their base ingredients, opening up multiple plant-based combinations.
The Tastiest Plant-Based Dishes
If you're pulling into the drive-thru, these are the top plant-based menu items you must try:
- Chow Mein
- Eggplant Tofu
- Super Greens
- Vegetable Spring Rolls
Menu Hacks and Custom Orders
Get the most out of Panda Express's menu by modifying these classic dishes to remove hidden animal ingredients:
- Mix the Chow Mein with the Super Greens for a bulky, filling base.
- The "Eggplant Tofu" isn’t available at every location, so check the app before driving to a specific store.
- Ask for extra Sweet and Sour or Soy sauce packets; they are completely plant-based.
Cross-Contamination Warnings
Woks and fryers are shared with meat items. Panda Express explicitly states they do not guarantee any item to be strictly vegetarian/vegan due to shared kitchen environments.
