UNSCIENTIFIC POLL RESULTS: Best Panda Express Entree That’s Not Orange Chicken

Marvo 3 Comments

The results are in and Honey Walnut Shrimp received the most votes in our Best Panda Express Entree That’s Not Orange Chicken Unscientific Poll.

A few notes about the results, which you can see in the table below.

  • There were 1,581 votes, but I removed 27 of them because they were write-in votes for an appetizer or Orange Chicken, or they were a comment about Panda Express not being food or good.
  • When I started the poll, I didn’t include Beijing Beef as an option because I forgot to add it. But I included it later and at the end tallied and added whatever votes it got under the “Other” option.
  • I’m surprised Grilled Teriyaki Chicken came in second place. I thought SweetFire Chicken or Beef Broccoli would’ve been second.
  • I voted for Eggplant Tofu.

Thank you to everyone who participated!
