Panda Buffet

I cannot think of the last time I’ve felt so strongly compelled by a restaurants low quality and poor food code to write a review. I just killed a cockroach on the counter of the hot food, and if their attention to detail in that regard is any clue to the overall quality of the establishment you should steer clear. One can’t expect much from a Buffett in 2015, but I can’t remember the last time I’ve had such bland and stale Asian cuisine. Panda Express is a gourmet endeavor in comparison this, please do your taste buds, wallet and digestive system a favor and steer clear

My best friend’s grandparents graciously took us to this buffet for dinner, though the meal and service were anything but gracious. After a few loops around the stations I started with wonton soup. Thankfully I cut the wonton open with my spoon because the meat truly looked strange and I did not eat it. I went back for some rice and lo main which were fine, but mediocre. From the looks of the «sushi» bar I would not trust their meat or fish. The fish actually had many dark spots on it and did not look fresh. This was a very low quality buffet and I’m honestly shocked it didn’t make me sick. The staff was nice when we were leaving, but did not even crack a smile for the rest of our meal. There was a banner displaying a people’s choice award they won in 2009. They need to stop clinging to this 6 year old recognition and start improving their prepping and cooking practices.

If I could give a minus star rating I would. Don’t waste your time here unless you just want to eat a huge amount of tasteless food. This would be a great place to take little kids who don’t care what they eat. The waitresses were disinterested at best and never smile. All they do is clear dishes and refresh drinks. Not much to be happy about. I can’t believe this place won any awards EVER unless the owners got all their friends and family to vote for it. Will never go back.

Honestly, I’d give 2.5 stars if I could but will round up because it’s not terrible, but it’s far from great.
Panda Buffet is located in a strip mall in what appears was built for something else and then Panda Buffet came in later. It doesn’t feel like it quite belongs. The seating is fairly tight in the center with roomier booths along the sides. The waitstaff is nominal. They are there for drinks, taking away dishes, and processing payments. Not one person smiled much less said a word.
Chinese buffet is pushing it. It’s a buffet, but I don’t think there was any actual Chinese food. There was a lot of classic food that Americans think is Chinese, but you won’t find in China or even prepared the same across this country. For example, sweet and sour chicken is a Western creation, you won’t find it in China. In Seattle it is very lightly breaded and always served with pineapples. Here it was mostly breading with a chicken surprise inside!
Then there were foods completely not even close to Chinese. French fries, chicken strips, salad bar, sushi rolls… Speaking of sushi rolls the selection they had were sitting on a lamp. There’s no sushi that should ever be under a lamp. Sure, it was only avocado rolls by the look of it, but that couldn’t have been tasty all dried out.
They did have an amazing selection of ice cream, though each of the five gallon buckets were labeled wrong. Regardless endless ice cream will always round a 2.5 star review to a 3 in my book!

This sad excuse for a Chinese buffet is terrible. The selection is small and the quality is low. Most of the food is over cooked and tough. The «Sushi Bar» was a collection of flavorless rolls. The soups were greasy. The bbq pork was truly tougher than the soles of my shoes. Get the picture?

This place is okay at best. The food was fine, nothing special, but the price was amazing. Such a great bargain! Crab legs ARE extra, but that’s understandable when the dinner buffet only costs ten bucks. All in all, would visit here again when I have a craving for quick, close, generic Chinese food.

This place is plagued with mediocrity. There is nothing special about it, and nothing really made me want to come back. Everything from the food selection to the décor screamed average.
Here is my break down:
The bad: lo-​mien was burnt, egg foo young had no taste, they up charge for crab legs!!!
The average: EVERYTHING ELSE
The good: fruit selection, free soda refills
I will not go back, as I would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Food was not very good. Very small selection. They charge you extra for snow crab legs… what kind of buffet does that? Raw oysters and clams barely had anything in them. Service was slow… no one picked up our plates for the longest time and there was only 3 tables being used at the time! Definetly last time there.

The staff sit around outside the side entrance next to the kitchen and chain smoke. When they finish the fling the butts on the ground. While smoking they hold screen door open and chat with the workers inside. Then they go back to work without washing hands. 5 Stars for Gross ! The waitress said to me the owner is cheap, most of the staff are from China and don’t have papers, pays them nothing while he drives a new BMW 750i.
Place still on business. Side doors still open with flies buzzing

Without a doubt the very best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to. The quality of the food is outstanding, an was an extremely pleasant surprise. Now I only wish I didn’t live five hours away…
