Panda Express Brings Back Beloved Cantonese BBQ Beef Brisket

Panda Express enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as the highly-acclaimed Cantonese Barbeque Beef Brisket makes its much-anticipated return starting September 1. Originally launched on June 2, 2026, this delectable dish quickly became a summer favorite before being temporarily removed from the menu on August 10.

Featuring succulent slices of beef brisket glazed with a flavorful Cantonese Char Siu sauce, the dish is available in various meal options including Plates, Bigger Plates, and Family Meals. Priced from $7.65 for a small order, the brisket pairs beautifully with the chain's vegetable and noodle sides for a satisfying meal.

A recent review praised the brisket for its rich, buttery texture and the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors in the sauce. Customers have expressed their enthusiasm, with some lamenting its short availability while others eagerly anticipate its return. One user on r/PandaExpress noted, "So excited to cut those briskets! Can't wait!" While there are concerns about the potential departure of other favorites like the hot orange chicken, the brisket's return is undoubtedly a highlight for many.
