How to order

Choose one lower-carb entréeGrilled Teriyaki Chicken, steak, mushroom chicken, or broccoli beef are the clearest starting points.
Choose Super GreensThe API lists the side at 5g net carbs; rice and chow mein are much higher-carb bases.
Count sauce and portionsRecipes, scoop size, regional availability, and extra sauce can change the total.

What to skip or verify

Rice, chow mein, breaded orange chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, SweetFire items, and appetizers are poor fits for a tight carb budget.

Data methodology and limits

CheckTheCarbs selected complete foods and practical sides from a 2026-08-06 snapshot of the GLPFoodScore API. We use its calories, protein, total carbohydrate, fiber, and net-carbohydrate fields. We intentionally exclude its medication-oriented score, tier, and advice so this page remains a carb and keto-ordering guide.

Data boundaries: Values represent standard menu records, not laboratory testing by CheckTheCarbs. Regional recipes, portions, availability, and customization can change totals. Verify your final order with Panda Express. See the full menu data and GLPFoodScore methodology.

Quick questions

Can you eat keto at Panda Express?

Are customized totals included?

No. The table shows standard API records. We flag useful modifications but do not invent a new nutrition total by subtracting a bun or sauce.

Why might another site show a different number?

Sites may use a different serving, menu version, recipe, or subtraction rule. This page states its snapshot date and shows net carbs as total carbohydrate minus fiber.
