Reviews For Big Panda Buffet

This buffet is worthy of receiving 5 starts anyway of the week. So far I've eaten here only 4 times in 2 months. Food was always fresh and tasty. So far my favorite is their mixed vegetables. Love their idea of the gift shop. VenuThe venue always clean and smelled of nothing but fresh food. Music selection is outstanding for a place like this. I love the occasional coupons which make me go back every other week. Price is quite cheap considering others in the area.

Big Panda Buffet is excellent for the price! The dinner buffet is 10 per person and they even give you a 2.50 coupon for your next visit. Great selection of Chinese food, and a relatively safe environment with gloves for patrons to wear when grabbing food. The desserts were also excellent given just how many options there were. Staff is friendly as well, and constantly cleaning the buffet area.

I love this place. They’re clean, attentive, and just always have good service. I often stop in for a plate to go which is a styrofoam box that I usually pack too full and plastic soup container with lid (like a deli) just let them know if you don’t need that, up front. Again, very friendly folks. Edit: it’s been a while since I reviewed Big Panda Buffet so I wanted to update that nothing has changed, it’s still a great place to dine in or take out!

After my favorite buffet closed down, I had to find somewhere new. This has been my favorite place to eat. The jalapeno chicken is absolutely fantastic. I love making the trip here once a week. Love those egg rolls.

Excellent food. The peanut chicken was delicious and the green beans were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We were there late in the evening on a Friday and enjoyed a quiet atmospere. I like the neon lighting around the buffet too. It's very pretty.
