Panda Express Unveils Exciting Karaoke Experience, 'Pandaoke'

Panda Express® has unveiled its exciting new event, 'Pandaoke,' which promises to be a thrilling experience for music lovers and foodies alike. This one-of-a-kind karaoke pop-up is set to hit select locations across the U.S. starting from May 2025, just in time to coincide with the celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

This initiative is part of Panda Express's larger brand campaign, themed 'Have You Eaten Yet?', which emphasizes the importance of food and community connection. As diners engage in this vibrant karaoke event, they can enjoy delicious food while creating lasting memories with friends and family. The event will debut in Los Angeles, followed by stops in Nashville, Chicago, and Austin.

The Concept Behind Pandaoke

The essence of Pandaoke reflects the familial and social connections that food can foster. Inspired by a humorous ad featuring joyful aunties posing the question 'Have you eaten yet?', the event invites guests to take the microphone and belt out their favorite tunes in a cheerful atmosphere filled with laughter and celebration.

Andrea Cherng, the Chief Brand Officer at Panda Express, expresses the joy food brings in connecting people. She notes, "At Panda, we often ask a simple yet meaningful question 'Have you eaten yet?' – a phrase that expresses care in so many cultures. Through Pandaoke, we are excited to bring this spirit of comfort and connection to life in a new, joyous way."

Transformation of Panda Locations into Karaoke Havens

Panda Express is transforming its restaurants into vibrant karaoke spaces complete with a spectacular 7-foot-tall Karaoke Takeout Box. Guests can gather in groups of 2-3 to enter this novelty structure, select from a list of uplifting songs, and enjoy a recorded performance of their thirty-second karaoke moments, which will be emailed to them after the performance as a delightful keepsake.

The karaoke booths will be available daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time during the event's run. Here are the dates and locations for this exciting event:

• - Los Angeles, CA: May 9-11 at 2828 S Figueroa St.
