Some Panda Express restaurants do accept Apple Pay. The company has been rolling out this payment method and hopes to have it at all locations in the future. The Twitter response from the company below verifies this information.

Apple Maps & Apple Pay

You can verify if a Panda Express location takes Apple Pay by using the Apple Maps app. The app is likely already on your Apple Device. It can be downloaded via the Apple App Store if you do not have it.

Once you are in the app, search for the Panda Express you wish to visit. Pull up the restaurant’s information and look for the “Useful to Know” section. Here you will see the Apple logo and/or “✔ Accepts Apple Pay” if the Panda Express location takes Apple Pay.

Below is an example from Apple Maps. You can see that this Panda Express in St. Louis accepts Apple Pay since the Apple Pay logo (circled in red) appears in the “Useful to Know” section.
