"Honey Walnut Shrimp is fresh tempura shrimp wok-tossed in a gourmet honey sauce and topped with glazed walnuts. It’s a mouthwatering combination of sweet and crispy, and a delicious new reason to visit Panda Express today."
Honey Walnut Shrimp: Serving Size - 3.7 oz: Calories - 370(that's about 8 pieces of shrimp. I think it's reasonable for every now and then)
Being that I am a huge fan of Walnut (also referred to as Honey) Shrimp I just had to try out this new item at Panda Express. It also helped that I had a coupon =] Thanks Lisa. It was pretty good, not the best I've ever had but, definitely a worthy opponent. What made it really good was that it had that nice crispy panda style honey shell.
What keeps it from winning the gold is that they really held back on the walnuts =[. Unlike my nig Sam Woo who knows what's up. Bottom line: This is only a temporary fix for all you Walnut Shrimp addicts, it'll hold your taste buds over for now, but you wont be truly satisfied until you go to a restaurant. You get more bang for your buck going to a restaurant like Sam Woo. (HUGE ASS Plate of shrimp with lots of Walnuts and a free pot of rice for about 13 bucks? that's a meal for 2-3 and if you go by yourself... box it to go and have yourself a treat later while you cry about why you went to a restaurant by yourself =P.) So this new dish gets a 3.75/5.
Stay Frosty.
Pro:
-Convenient
Con:
-8 pieces for about $3.30 is just a bit expensive for me (that's 15 nuggets from Wendy's!).

I love my walnut shrimp and this is pretty good for being "fast food". They may not be jumbo prawns like Sam Woo, but definitely worth it for a quick fix...especially when I'm alone. haha
