This really is a great deal from the Dodgers and Panda Express. "DODGERSWIN" gets you a $5 Panda Plate.
Really cool from a company that began right here in L.A. - first location was at the Glendale Galleria in 1983, after their initial sit-down Panda Inn in Pasadena in 1973.
The Dodgers won at home. That means if you live in Los Angeles County, you can get a $5 Panda Plate from Panda Express. You have to order on the Panda Express app and use code “DODGERSWIN.” It’s easily the best deal since the $5 foot long at Subway, which ended over a decade ago.
