A Panda Express family meal is $44 and includes three large entrées and two large sides, feeding four to five people. That is $13 cheaper than ordering separate plates, and the code FAMILY10 takes another $10 off.
The Panda Express family meal is the cheapest way to feed a group short of catering, and the maths is better than most people assume. This page covers what is in the box, what it costs, how it compares to every other way of ordering for four or five, and which coupon codes apply. Full board pricing is on our Panda Express menu.

Three large entrées and two large sides, which works out at roughly 16 to 18 servings. Any entrée on the menu can go in, but the three premium items, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Black Pepper Sirloin Steak and Beijing Beef, add $5.85 each rather than the $1.50 they add to a regular plate. That is the detail most people miss.

Yes, and the saving comes before any code. Five separate Plates cost $57 and feed five. A Panda Express family meal costs $44 and feeds four to five, so the bundle alone saves $13. Below six people it is the best value on the board; above six, catering takes over.
| Route | Feeds | Total | Per Person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family meal + FAMILY10 | 4–5 | $34.00 | $6.80 |
| Family meal, no code | 4–5 | $44.00 | $8.80 |
| Four Bigger Plates | 4 | $51.60 | $12.90 |
| Five separate Plates | 5 | $57.00 | $11.40 |
| Five Bowls | 5 | $48.50 | $9.70 |
| Large party tray, catering | 12–16 | $75.00 | $5.35 |
Five Bowls at $48.50 is the closest alternative, but each person gets one entrée rather than a share of three. The family meal wins on choice as well as price.
