Panda Buffet

The buffet was cold, there were no bowls for soup and the «spicy» dishes were far from it. The wait staff was fairly attentive, and the desserts were good.

First time to visit and was extremely disappointed. While they had a huge selection, the food was cold and mostly tasteless. If I were you, I would save my $ 20 bucks and eat elsewhere.

I posted on our Windmill Farms group on Facebook asking for an Asian buffet recommendation. Everyone suggested Panda Buffet in Terrell. So we went to try it out. Got to tell ya, we almost didn’t park! Lol The outside is a bit sketchy looking. BUT… we went on in and I’m glad we did! It was so good and for a buffet to be fresh and kept full at 2:30p in the afternoon was surprising. And they were packed, on a Monday in the middle of the afternoon. Great sign of a great place! So glad our neighbors all recommended it! Delicious!

The best thing I can say is they have crab. The place was hot, and the drinks tasted watered down and the sushi was very disappointing. After one plate of food we were presented with the check. The writing was near impossible to read except of course for the final amount. It’s adequate, but not what I would call my go to place.

Various dishes there! And people in this buffet is so considerable! I would take my friends here too!

The foods in here are so great. The sea food is so flesh. Wonderful! I will go there impress frequently!

I’ve been here 3 – 4 times in the past year and find this to be a decent Chinese buffet. The variety of food choices is reasonable and the food is consistently good. I don’t live in the area, but it’s the kind of place I have returned to each time passing through. Tonight, good ribs, tasty beef and broccoli and very good butterfly shrimp. Egg rolls and wonton soup, not so good. At around $ 9 for dinner, it’s better than most other Chinese buffets I’ve encountered. FOLLOW-​UP 7−11−13 visit: I changed my original review from four stars to two – this visit the food was overall not so good; I may re-​think the idea of stopping here next time I come though.

I come here for lunch a lot. VERY large seating area and a pretty good selection of your common «Chinese Buffet» favorites. Staff is continuously re-​stocking food so it seems to be pretty fresh all of the time.

Seriously? I mean, I know it’s Terrell… But OMG… Never again. Food smells horrible, looks horrible. I can find better Chinese food at a Mexican restaurant! That says enough about this place.

I’ve never been a fan of Chinese buffets. Much of the food in Chinese buffets is over salted, over breaded, over fried and over cooked, but this isn’t bad — especially for a buffet of this genre in a small Texas town. I’d much more prefer P.F. Chang’s — but when you live in East Texas, you take what you can get.
There is enough variety where I can salvage some things to eat. Like most Chinese Buffets, the sushi is bland — like it came out of a vending machine. Doesn’t taste bad, but it has a very cafeteria-​ish flavor & texture.
The seafood lover will appreciate the fish fillets, king crab legs, jumbo cocktail shrimp, fried shrimp, and clams.
I prefer more of a vegetarian fare when eating Chinese cuisine. Nothing I’ve ever seen there resembles Tofu, so I will have a little bit of beef from the Beef & Broccoli selection for protein. I wish they had more bok choi and other hearty vegetables. The broccoli and other cooked veggies are cooked just right — cooked, yet still crisp and not limp or over-​done.
The selections range from mild to spicy. There are some kid-​friendly dishes such as onion-​rings, fries, popcorn shrimp, etc. as well as very fresh fruit, tapioca, jello, and DIY soft-​serve cones. The desserts vary from pudding to macaroons.
One of the hidden gems is the fried zucchini. The breaded slices are huge and very flavorful. I don’t think of zucchini as having much flavor beyond what it inherits from other things in a particular dish, but the fried zucchini slices they have are quite good.

Ok I will admit I was here a couple years ago and it has really improved! You don’t have to be so choosey. All of the food is good and fresh.

As far as Terrell goes. This is the SHNIZZZIOT !
Typically $ 6.99 Buffet, rocks your sox off seafood. Sticky rice, fresh baked goods and moon cakes. Ice Cream softserve machine.
Hot tea and fortune cookies, clean accomidations. always relaxing .
The girls who work the tables are all very cool. Regulars often line up early on Friday nights. My son’s favorite place to go anytime.

This place has a decent size buffet. Like every normal buffet!
I really truly like this place since they have great fried rice. and even the steam rice is freaking amazing. isnt dried like most places I been.
The selection of food is pretty good. you have your normal stir fry of beef broccoli… pepper steak. shrimp stir fry. satuee green beans, and mushrooms. which is really good. They have this bbq chicken. man its sooooooooo sooooooooo good. its one of my favorite thing on the buffet! next to the veggie stir fry. Even the bbq pork on the stick is really good. Their eggrolls are awesome.
As for your desserts… fruit.jello.pudding. little cream puffs.cookies. it usually stays the same
