Review: Panda Express Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef, The Ultimate Surf & Turf - Tasting Table
"Once there's a little nip in the air and vibrant autumnal hues on the leaves, I find myself craving warm, cozy umami flavors. Turns out, my longing for Asian comfort food comes at the perfect time because Panda Express just launched a new dish called Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef. Could this be the treat I've been looking for? If the meal is as comforting as it is alive with flavor, then, yes, this could be my huckleberry."
"Panda Express certainly knows a thing or two about comfort food - the popular restaurant chain has been delivering authentic, regional, American-infused, Chinese cuisine for over 40 years. So, when I found out there was a new dish to explore, I dropped what I was doing, raced to my local Panda Express, and ordered the newcomer. I mean, being a food writer is hard work, but since I've been doing it for over 25 years, I figured I'd take the plunge for all of us."
"I ordered the Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef as a bowl, which cost $8.70. But this is considered a premium meal, so there was a $1.50 up-charge for the shrimp. The total for the meal (with a fortune cookie) was $10.81, including tax. It was a hearty amount of food, so I didn't find it necessary to order a plate with one extra entree or a bigger plate with two extra entrees. I'm pretty sure most people will feel the same."
Autumnal cravings for warm, umami flavors led to trying Panda Express's new Crispy Sesame Shrimp & Beef, a glossy, colorful shrimp, beef, and vegetable dish. The dish was available for sampling at the restaurant and proved popular with other customers. The meal was ordered as a bowl with white rice and felt hearty enough that an extra entree was unnecessary for one person. The bowl price was $8.70 with a $1.50 premium up-charge for shrimp, bringing the total to $10.81 including tax and a fortune cookie. A store manager confirmed the dish rolled out nationwide on October 8. The dish can be ordered as a bowl or a plate.
