Panda Express Opens Its Newest Restaurant In East Ridge

  • Wednesday, July 30, 2025
Panda Express announces the grand opening of its newest location in East Ridge at 629 Camp Jordan Pkwy.

“Our entire Panda team is grateful to serve the East Ridge community by providing nearly 40 new jobs and supporting local organizations through various fundraising opportunities,” said Gibb Prajyapathomwong, Panda Express area coach of operations. “We hope to be a lasting part of the community and welcome all guests into our doors to try our American Chinese favorites and discover their own.”

The East Ridge Panda Express features a drive through and the new “Panda Home” restaurant design, which is distinctly American Chinese.


Officials said, "Just like Panda Express, design elements bridge the East and the West. Inside, you’ll find nods to traditional Chinese architecture like red lanterns, a moon gate portal and vibrant Chinatown signs.

"Panda Express East Ridge offers all of Panda’s iconic dishes, including the world-famous The Original Orange Chicken, award-winning Honey Walnut Shrimp and guest-favorite Broccoli Beef entrée. The location is also serving up the new Hot Orange Chicken, which is available for a limited time only.

"Guests can also sign up for the new Panda Rewards program on the Panda Express mobile app or online at PandaRewards.com. For more information, visit www.pandaexpress.com."

Local store hours are Sunday through Thursday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. and Friday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-10:30 p.m.
