Pros Of The Cantonese BBQ Beef Brisket From Panda Express

- The soy, fermented soybean pasta, and sesame oil glaze gives it a sweet, savory, profile that blends American BBQ and Chinese flavors.
- At 44 grams of protein per 5.61 oz serving (meat only), it is the highest protein entrée on the Panda Express menu.
Cons Cantonese BBQ Beef Brisket From Panda Express
- Because it’s classified as a premium entrée, it requires an extra upcharge (typically around $1.95 on top of standard bowl or plate prices.

Final Thoughts
The slow-cooked beef brisket has a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that pairs perfectly with the deeply savory, sweet, and smoky sauce, which features a very nice, mild kick. The brisket also has a beautiful caramelized, blackened outer bark that mimics the flavor of high-quality barbecue burnt ends. I have to say this is the best fast-food release of the year. I highly recommend going to your local Panda Express to give it a try—it is well worth the premium price.
