Panda Express Aquafina

Aquafina is the bottled water at Panda Express locations under Pepsi bottling agreements. Water is the only drink category on this menu that adds nothing at all to a meal, which makes it worth knowing which brand your store carries.

Purified water, sealed in a bottle, with none of the decisions the rest of the fountain demands. The practical advantage over a fountain cup is portability: for takeout and delivery a sealed bottle survives the trip where an open cup does not.

Zero calories is zero calories regardless of brand, so the comparison that matters is against everything else. A regular soda adds 370 calories and sweet tea adds 410. On a menu where sodium runs high across the wok dishes, plain water also does more for how you feel afterward than any flavored option.

It suits every order here, particularly the heavier trays. Pair it with a Bigger Plate at $12.50 or any fried entree. Bottled pricing is set by each store and typically sits above fountain pricing. Other zero calorie choices are on the Panda Express drinks menu.
