you can feed more people if you cook your own rice at home. There's two strategies to stretch the family meal. Make your own rice at home then use the two side dishes to get two chow mein. The other strategy is to make rice at home, then order 2x super greens( cabbage broccoli and kale stir fried in a light garlic sauce) as your sides. Then since you have two veggie dishes go meat heavy on the entrees and ignore the meat/veggie combo dishes. Also avoid the honey walnut shrump because it only includes a certain amount of shrimp before closing the box while getting orange chicken will insure that they pack the box until it's full to the top.

Mostly on par with the unofficial chain "family" Chinese restaurants, which are mostly Cantonese style serving the same dishes, but with tons more sugar and salt than you'd find in China. Some dishes are better at Panda, such as the teriyaki chicken (without sauce IMO), and orange chicken, other dishes are worse such as chow mien.

If you're after something authentic, then this is not it, this is definitely American food, influenced by Chinese dishes, similar to American Italian food, or any other American immigrant style food. Those "family" Chinese restaurants are also rarely authentic too, since they have to cater mostly to customers who do not come from mainland China.

Plus, authentic Chinese food may not be what you actually want anyway. I've accumulated about a years time in China, the food would take getting used to, and would be unlikely to do well outside of a China town in the US, especially with the amount of bones and cartilage you will find in many of the meat/fish dishes. Which is exactly why we have the Chinese-American food we have today.

If you accept Panda Express for what it is, i.e. it's not authentic mainland Chinese food, I think it's great food, that is pretty healthy if you order correctly, and with this coupon pretty affordable for fast food.

Have not ordered family meal. Comparing to the larger plate which is 1/3 of the price, is family meal at least 3 time better/more?
IMO yes, its 5 large ala carte containers of food for $30.

How does this compare with restaurant Chinese food? I see a lot of people complaining about spending $35 on a family meal. I regularly spend over $70 at my local Chinese restaurant for our family dinner. I'd love to save if the food is comparable.

I'm with you. If I can feed my family of 4 for under $40 with take out, it's a steal in the Chicagoland area. Went to Taco Bell a week ago and my son's bill was $20 by itself - at Taco Bell!

Agreed. The amount of food that bigger plate (of pandaexpress) offers is amazing, considering how much the inflation was in the past 2~3 years.

I remember this too, it was during the beginning of the pandemic and seemed like a steal back then.



I had an Ad blocker that was preventing me from getting past this, once I turned off it worked just fine.
This is why I keep a 2nd browser around. 1 for my normal use and the other with all the tracking enabled, but using a different local userid to wipe daily, so every new run seems like a new person/computer.

Unfortunately, you can't since log in is not required unless you e-mailed it to yourself.

Use a different IP address, i.e. go off wifi, and try again. Or try again tomorrow. You can play once a day from a unique IP address.
they really enforce it this time? i think i generated about 1k of these from the last "lunar new year" game a couple years ago. but didnt have a chance to use a single of them.

A regular plate is like $9 where I live. Don't know how $30 is a good deal when it'd be cheaper to just get 3 plates?

I think panda typically pays more than other food joints. At least that's what I have heard

They do, at least here in the Central Coast of California. Think they start at $17 when min wage is $15.

Ignore me, I'd missed that the verification had already been answered.

Talking to one of the owners at my local Panda Express, apparently there are also $88 and a small number of $888 coupons in the mix.

It's a lot more food than 3 plates worth of orders, roughly double. Each large entre box is four times the size of a plate's entre serving size, and you are getting 3 of these large boxes, vs. two of a plate's.

Discounting the sides, a plate gives you two 4oz dishes, a large entre is 16oz. 3 plates would be 24oz of dishes. One family meal is 48oz of items.

So no, it's not better value to buy three plates, even without this discount.
