Asian dining concept Panda Express introduces its latest seasonal offering: Crispy Sesame Shrimp and Beef, debuting Oct. 8, 2025, nationwide.

This new entree delivers an American Chinese flavor fusion, inspired by the battered shrimp and beef from the brand’s Honey Walnut Shrimp and Beijing Beef.

Crispy Sesame Shrimp and Beef features shrimp in a crunchy tempura batter and crispy beef strips, complemented by crisp veggies and a savory, subtly spicy umami sauce inspired by the classic Sichuan dish, Mouthwatering Chicken.

To mark the Crispy Sesame Shrimp and Beef launch, Panda Express is introducing Wok Wednesdays, an in-app game experience where Panda Rewards members can unlock exclusive Panda Reward gifts virtually.

"With the introduction of Wok Wednesday, we are giving our guests a dynamic new way to connect with Panda Express," said Nidhin Mattappally, vice president of digital business and guest care at Panda Express. "This app-based game is designed to celebrate the art of wok cooking while providing Panda Rewards members with exclusive opportunities to earn and redeem rewards, enhancing the value of every visit."
