San Diego is set to become a testing ground for a spicy new dish, Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken, from the popular fast-food chain Panda Express. The dish, which is set to be rolled out in five San Diego County locations, will be served with the signature heat of South Korea’s top-selling Buldak sauce. The dish, which features marinated chicken breast bites coated in a puffed rice batter, wok-fried with red bell peppers, onions, and topped with a custom-made Buldak sauce, is part of a nationwide test market. San Diego is one of just 10 U.S. cities selected to test the new dish, which will be available at Panda Express locations in New York, Chicago, Houston, Prescott, Arizona, Denver, Atlanta, Seattle-Tacoma, the Hagerstown area of Washington, D.C., and the Orlando/Daytona Beach/Melbourne area of Florida. The test market will continue until the product is rolled out nationally. San Diego is home to a diverse range of restaurants, but Panda Express is looking to spice things up with its new dish. The chain is capitalizing on the growing trend of spicy food among younger generations. According to a recent study, 61% of Gen Z respondents and 55% of millennials said they regularly eat and enjoy spicy foods. Panda Express is not the first restaurant chain to tap into the spicy food trend. Many chains, such as Chipotle, Noodles & Company, and Sweetgreen, have already introduced spicy menu options. However, Panda Express is looking to take the heat to the next level with its new dish. The new dish is the spiciest on the Panda Express menu, according to Evelyn Wah, vice president of brand innovation at Panda Express. “It’s a bold, explosive, and shareable experience that our guests, especially Gen Z, crave,” she said. “It’s the spiciest dish we’ve ever launched, bringing a new level of heat to our menu like never before.”
The five San Diego County locations that will begin serving Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken on Wednesday are:
| Location | Address |
|---|---|
| 2950 National Ave. | Logan Heights |
| 12330 Carmel Mountain Road, #C5 | Carmel Mountain Ranch |
| 5407 Balboa Ave., Suite 460 | Clairemont Mesa |
| 600 W. Mission Ave. | Escondido |
| 937 Sweetwater Road, Suite 105 | Spring Valley |
The new dish is a result of a partnership between Panda Express and Samyang Foods, a South Korean company that produces the world’s top-selling spicy brand, Buldak. The partnership marks Samyang’s first-ever U.S. partnership with a restaurant brand. San Diego residents are in for a treat, as the new dish will be available at a discounted price of $2.99, which is $1 less than the standard price of the Sweet & Sour Chicken dish. In addition to the new dish, Panda Express will also offer a limited-time promotion, where customers can get a free side of steamed vegetables with the purchase of Dynamite Sweet & Sour Chicken. The test market is expected to continue until the product is rolled out nationally, and San Diego residents are eager to get their hands on the new dish. “We’re excited to bring this new and exciting dish to our guests,” said Evelyn Wah. “We’re confident that it will be a hit with our customers, especially Gen Z.”
