" The food at Panda Buffet isn't what it used to be. I remember coming here years ago and the selection was more exciting. While it is still an okay place to fill your plate, it’s not really worth traveling for anymore. The atmosphere remains friendly and clean, which is a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Panda Buffet last Saturday and was impressed by the variety on the buffet. Many dishes were fresh and flavorful, especially the shrimp and honey chicken. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were friendly. My only critique would be that some of the vegetables could have been crisper. Overall, a great place to indulge in a satisfying meal with family! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a mixed opinion about Panda Buffet. On one hand, they provide good portion sizes and have friendly service, but the authenticity of the food is really lacking in traditional flavors. The variety is decent, but it lacks depth. I would say it's better for casual eating than for anyone looking for a traditional Chinese experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Buffet is a decent option if you're in the mood to eat your fill of various cuisines. They have a decent selection, and the food is prepared well, but it's not the most authentic Chinese food you'll find. If you’re looking for a Chinese restaurant that offers traditional dishes, consider looking elsewhere. Still, if buffets are your thing, this place satisfies cravings. Just don't expect it to be the same as a sit-down restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent diner, I appreciate Panda Buffet for its affordability and the endless options. However, the authenticity has dropped compared to previous years. I remember walking in and smelling authentic Chinese cuisine. Now, some dishes feel more like mass-produced versions, and the flavors don't match up. Still, for the price, I'll keep coming back for the convenience and sheer variety! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food at Panda Buffet. It is great for families, there is something for everyone. The only downside was certain dishes could use more seasoning. I noticed that there was plenty of seafood available which is a plus! Overall, a good buffet experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I came in with high expectations but left feeling just okay about the experience. The ambiance was nice, and the staff were pleasant, but the food was pretty average with a few standout dishes. If I'm in the mood for a buffet, I might consider it again, but it won’t be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)
