There are very few items that have no upcharge.

My guess is people who are vegetarian or vegan probably do not even want to eat at Panda. It is like Burger King or McD offering a fake meat option.

I eat very little meat, but like ceasesmith said, I stay clear of anything that tries to act like meat. If I were ordering at Panda I would choose Eggplant Tofu. And ask for hot sauce or red pepper, because their interpretation of spicy and mine are worlds apart.

I hate to burst anyone's vegetarian bubble but several years ago I read that the sauces Panda use on all their items are not vegetarian but meat based. This is probably why the tofu eggplant is not being advertised to the vegetarian community. So it all depends how strict you are. As for the Beyond Burgers for strict vegetarians you would need to check with McD or other fast food restaurants to make sure they do not slap those on the same grill they just grilled a greasy beef burger on. The hospital I used to work for had a veggie burger on the menu even 20 years ago. I would go to the grill at lunch to order one and see them just shove aside the beef burger leaving all the grease on the grill instead of using the empty 80% of the grill to make the veggie selections. The same disappointing thing happened one day when I was eating lunch at Benihana. The other group at our table ordered some seafood appetizers. The chef cooked those up first and then put our food on next. None of us had a seafood allergy but I know those can be very bad with only a bit of seafood. I hope they have learned not to do that anymore. And hopefully those with bad allergies watch very closely how their food is cooked.

Yeah, I dunno, is it just me? I never had a problem with Morningstar Farms, they clearly labeled their stuff was from veggies.
But I'm reluctant to try stuff that tries to mimic meat, or meat grown in a laboratory.
Frankly, I don't even like tofu.

The worse, though, was a JITB shop in which pieces of cooked rice were inside the wrapper of my burger -- at a restaurant that does not serve rice. I'm pretty sure I got stray bits of an employee's brought-from-home lunch that day. I definitely submit photos of stuff like that with my reports (except for Texas Roadhouse, since it's a non-photo shop).
