Has a very satisfying crunch.
They contain chunks of real lobster and shrimp.
It’s a quick, affordable. and on-the-go dumpling option when paired with a dipping sauce.
They make for a great bite-sized snack or a perfect add-on for a combo if you are just looking for a small tasting.

Cons Of The Lobster & Shrimp Dumplings From Panda Express

Because this is an exclusive, test-market item, it is extremely hard to find, and unavailable at the majority of locations.
As mini dim sum bites, the servings are quite small, meaning they won’t be very filling if you are relying on them as your main entrée.

Availabilty

These were originally a test menu item at the Panda Express test kitchen in Pasadena, California, in 2023 and are currently not available in all stores. However, I was lucky enough to find them at a Panda Express here in Colorado Springs. Therefore, my best advice is to use the Panda Express app to see if a restaurant in your area has them on the menu.

Final Thoughts

I have to say the Lobster & Shrimp Dumplings from Panda Express were nothing but amazing, from the crunch to the gooey cream cheese mixed with lobster and shrimp. If I could compare them to anything, I would say a high-end Crab Rangoon—but at a reasonable price.
