" I booked a family gathering at Panda Buffet hoping to provide a variety of foods for everyone, but I regretted it almost immediately. The food didn't seem freshly prepared, with plenty of dishes either cool or hard from sitting out too long. I expressed my disappointment with the service, which was lackluster. The restaurant appearance didn't look appealing, so it's not a place I'll be recommending or returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't typically leave bad reviews, but I feel compelled to after my recent experience at Panda Buffet. The first impression was poor, with tables that hadn't been cleaned and cold food on the buffet line. Service was slow, and the food selection didn't cater well to those seeking authentic dishes. After wasting money on overpriced unappetizing food, I highly doubt I'll return anytime soon. Certainly not worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family happened to be in the area and decided to stop by for a quick buffet dinner. From the moment we walked in, the place seemed to have a strange vibe. The food didn’t look appealing at all, and I was right to be cautious. I noticed they were refilling the food with old items rather than replacing it completely. A few dishes were decent, but most seemed like they were left in the warmer too long. To top it off, the overall cleanliness was a concern. The atmosphere felt outdated, and there were sticky tables and dirty floors. It definitely needs some work to improve upon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Buffet was not my favorite dining experience. The food was generally bland, with several items that tasted more like cardboard than actual meat. Only a few dishes had any flavor. The atmosphere left much to be desired as well, feeling very lackluster. There were moments when the servers were nowhere to be found, making the experience even more frustrating. I left feeling unsatisfied and unlikely to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of the food at Panda Buffet could certainly use improvement. Nearly everything I tried seemed old and dry. The dishes lacked the authenticity I was looking for, and I was shocked at how little attention was paid to cleanliness and freshness. While the pricing is fairly reasonable, I'd rather pay more for better quality elsewhere. The staff was friendly enough, but the food just didn't hit the mark. I sadly left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading a lot of reviews about Panda Buffet, I was a bit apprehensive but decided to check it out. My experience was mixed. Some of the food was genuinely good but a fair amount of it was just not edible—old and dry. I was lucky to find some decent chicken dishes. The staff was friendly, but they didn't seem very attentive. I ended up waiting quite a while for service. This place could be so much better if they worked on the freshness and a more attentive service. I’ll give it another chance if I'm in the area, but it may be a while! " (*Curated Review*)

" Panda Buffet was a place I visited out of curiosity after hearing mixed reviews. What I found was quite disappointing. The buffet did not feature a large variety of foods and the ones available were cold and uninspired. I sampled several items and none had the burst of flavor I expected. Additionally, I noticed that the staff was hardly present and the ambiance of the restaurant was bland. I felt let down and won’t be returning for a while at least until I hear better feedback.
