Dr Pepper
Dr Pepper is a popular carbonated soft drink that has a unique, complex flavor blend of 23 different fruit and spice flavors. Known for its distinctive taste, Dr Pepper has been a favorite soda for many years. While the exact formula is a closely guarded secret, the drink combines hints of cherry, licorice, almond, vanilla, and more, offering a sweet and slightly spicy taste that’s unlike other sodas.
At Panda Express, Dr Pepper is offered as a beverage choice to pair with your meal, providing a sugary, refreshing drink for those who enjoy the taste of a traditional soda.

Recommendation
Dr Pepper is a flavorful, sweet soda option, making it a popular choice for those who want a classic soft drink to accompany their meal. Due to its high sugar content (65g of sugar per 20 oz), it may not be the best option if you’re looking to reduce your calorie or sugar intake. For those with a sweet tooth or who enjoy a more complex soda flavor, it’s a satisfying choice.
Dr Pepper pairs well with almost any Panda Express entrée, but it especially complements rich or spicy dishes like Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, or Beijing Beef, balancing out their bold flavors with sweetness.
If you’re trying to limit your sugar or calorie intake, you might want to opt for alternatives like Coke Zero, Diet Dr Pepper, or Dasani water.
Recommendation: Ideal for those who enjoy classic sodas and are looking for a sweet, high-calorie beverage to enjoy with their meal. It’s also a good option for those who need a caffeine boost.
Please Note: Prices may vary by location, size, and local pricing policies. Generally, you can expect it for a standard size. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to check the Panda Express Mobile App or visit a local store.
