Panda Express does not use one opening and closing schedule for every restaurant. Official location pages show different hours by address and day, so the local restaurant listing is more useful than a nationwide “open until” claim.
Published restaurant-hour examples
These examples show why the exact address matters. They are published schedules checked on October 24, 2026, rather than a guarantee against temporary changes.
| Official location | Monday–Thursday | Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| Channel Islands & Rose, Oxnard, California | 9:30 a.m.–10 p.m. | 10 a.m.–10 p.m. |
| California State University, Northridge | 9:30 a.m.–6 p.m. | Closed |
| La Jolla Village Mall, San Diego | 10 a.m.–8 p.m. | 11 a.m.–7 p.m. |
Sources: official Oxnard, Northridge campus and La Jolla Village Mall pages. Do not apply one of these schedules to another restaurant in the same city.
How to check Panda Express hours near you
- Open the official restaurant locator.
- Search your city or ZIP code.
- Match the address to the restaurant you intend to visit.
- Review the schedule for the correct day.
- Check the ordering menu for the pickup time you want.
- Call the restaurant if a holiday or temporary change is unclear.
Restaurant names can be similar, especially near malls, highways and campuses. Checking the address before leaving can prevent a trip to a different branch with different service hours.
Closing time and order availability are different checks
A published closing time describes the restaurant’s schedule. Your desired pickup slot, delivery availability and a particular dish’s stock still need checking in the selected order. Do not assume a saved menu page proves that an order can be placed at any time before the listed close.
For a group order, confirm timing before collecting everyone’s selections. The shared-order guide helps organize quantities and requests, while the catering guide covers larger formats.
Holiday and weekend planning
Use a date-specific official notice when available instead of assuming all restaurants follow the same holiday policy. A mall or campus restaurant is a reason to check carefully, not evidence of a universal closure rule. Recheck the restaurant if the visit is important or involves a long journey.
