REVIEWS OF Panda Garden IN Maine

Robert Joseph

If you're looking for a perfect Chinese restaurant, then look no further. Don't even waste your time with any other Chinese restaurant in the entire Lewiston/ Auburn area. Every other place is a joke compared to Panda Garden!!

Joe Anton

The food was better when the buffet opened several years ago. I'm not a connoisseur , but one of the important qualities of Asian style food is freshness, and my latest meal here was definitely not fresh.

Stephen Ebersole

We love Panda Garden the food is always fresh and the servers treat you like family. The only thing is that it is never very busy since most of their business was stolen by Lotus the mega-buffet across the parking lot. Don't miss out on the great food and give them a try.

Kevin Hadler

Great food good place for a second date with a nice lady

Holly R

Food was warm, at best. Wide variety of food was good but there wasn't much of the actual food there and it wasn't fresh, even though it was dinnertime. It's totally silent except for the sounds from the kitchen. Not likely to return here.

judi kieper

I good place to eat food was good and management is great. Please try enough to eat and lots of different foods

One Two

This place is over priced for the quality of food. It seems clean but it looks a little run down. I feel like I could be eating cat or something.

James Richardson

The only thing worse than the service was the food. This place is dirty and the food is rotten. Avoid at all costs!

cosmicwave

the besttttttttt Chinese place in town, I wont go anywhere else. Their peanut chicken is amazinnngggg

April Perrault

Friendly staff good prices for the family

Robert Woods

Amazing food...i always get takeout! Good reheated food!

Norma Harper

I like reviews! I really wish I had read the reviews before I went. The restaurant is really nice serves is really nice. But the food not so nice. It didnt even look nice. May it was leftovers, and maybe dinner might be better. This is my opinion. Chicken wings and noodles was the only thing I liked oh and the Pop. I was very disappointed because I paid 9.50 and didn't even finish one plate. It's all good, not mad

Alvaro Rendon

Good place

Jordan Kates

Always so good

gabbiegirl

Susan Opare-Addo

Not sure why you have to ask for white rice at a Chinese buffet.

Dan Beers

Average.

Adella Rimer

Very good food and service!

Steve Sobczak

This was our first time since ownership change. The place was reasonably clean, the food was reasonably fresh, and plenty of variety. The price remains competitive. The new manager stopped at our table and visited. She asked questions, and seems genuinely interested in making Panda a good place to eat. Update: We returned, and were disappointed to the point of not going back. There were signs around saying that they would charge extra if you left food on your plate or the table messy. Being concerned for these things just ruined the whole dining experience. How clean did the table need to be? What if we tried something and it just didn't taste good? Food was still okay, but the signs gave me indigestion.

tyler lara

This place is disgusting. Everything is dirty, food tastes the same and the servers are rude.

Molly Heldt

I don't know My first experience was amazing. Everything was good a year ago but now I feel like puking. The food doesn't seem fresh nor taste as good like it used to be. What is going on.

Mike Garcia

It was good, I wouldn't come out again since they didn't have sushi :( the Mongolian stir fry beef didn't have fat at least :)

Babony

Place went down a little bit still one of my favorite places

Michael Bodin

Most of the food is pretty good. The pineapple shrimp is wonderful. People are definitely not friendly though.

Mai Vue

Place smelled weird, and there wasnt a whole lot to choose from. It costs as much going to another buffet. I dont recommend.

Houa Xiong

Good food

Ted Olsen

The bathrooms were disgusting. In the men's, the wall next to the sink was rusted through. This didn't happen overnight. It has to have been really bad for months. The carpeting was really dirty. The food area looked clean but when other things are so bad, it made me wonder about the kitchen. The food tasted fine but the experience was not good.

Todd and Jackie

Young man working the register was very nice the chicken was as juicy as I've ever had it and overall it was great food and good service. I would go there anytime

Minnesota Mike Fishing

Best place for cheap and good Chinese

MPLS Soul

Always cold and crusty, small selection.

Rosemary Selden

Rated F food was bland and not labeled clearly. 4 of us ate and 3 of us now have indigestion. Go to the panda express across the way instead

isacc Carter

It's ok need new menu

Sue Vue

Ok but not great.

Gretchen Voges

50% added to check for wasted food seems a little absurd. That wasn't the main reason we didn't eat there, but It was the part that said "20% added to your bill for a dirty table". Well, since we have kids, I guess we have to pay even more. Anyway we asked what was considered a "dirty table" and they said ice cream and napkins etc. We aren't the type to pick places a part, but seriously you're a restaurant...that is part of the business. Should it bother me that they didn't even flinch when we said we'll go somewhere else?

Leona Foster

Dailey buffets are a turnoff

Troy Thomas

Not bad, just not one of the better CBs Ive been to. They had traditional American green beans not the usual soy sauteed, deep fried fish was very fishy tasting.

Brittany Rivera

I've been going here for years. The older lady at the front is the owner. She doesnt speak english to well so she may come off as rude. But she is a very welcoming & friendly lady. I love the wontons! The pricing is really good too ! Its very cheap a whole meal under $8 . If you dont like serving your self or getting your own drink then go to Bennihana & stop complaining.

Khari Patterson

Usually this place is decent about a 3 star. Today I'm giving them one

TheRealTorkuda

The food seemed like it was pretty old and it was not good. We were there at dinner time on a Saturday and there were maybe two groups of people there and as I already said, the food was quite bad and looked like it had been sitting for a while.

Sandy Hillsdale

Terrible!!! Bad, cold food. I should have known when there were only a couple of cars. Never will go back!!

Michael Vu

The chicken wings are the BEST! Place is kind of old and the bathroom could use a remodeling but I like the chicken wings xD

Jenny Moreno pelkey

The food is not fresh& the woman stared at you like a devil.

Kellz W

Honest review. I cannot believe how terrible this place is, I work nearby and I am completely done supporting this place financially. Today was the last straw. I have become use to the grumpy lady that has worked there since forever (I guess I'd be grumpy too). But now the old guy from the kitchen stares and looks at people like you've done something wrong although I just got there, mumbling under his breath like a coward, obviously talking about customers literally for NO reason! This place is a disaster. Food is tasteless, customer service just does not exist at all, it's dirty, very low quality food and the reason it is cheap is because THEY USE OLD MEAT! So please stop with the misleading reviews saying "what else do you expect from a Chinese buffet..." um, for one that's pretty insulting and two I expect a lot more than what I get from this place that's for sure. There's no excuse for bad service, being rude, dirty and poor food quality if you're in the restaurant business. Period!

Kandace Thompson

I love the food here. Nice staff

Titus Obwocha

Most liked place to be

Rick Clavet

I find the atmosphere to be relaxing and the conversation with employees to be wonderful. The portions of food were good and the restaurant to be very clean. My family and I look forward to going back.

Ramon Badillo

The food it's great but for $70 bucks don't expect much of it

Edward Westerdahl

Had the Fried Rice and This time I chose the Fried Shrimp - WOW !! What a treat ! Staff is always polite and asks if you want sauce with your Chicken egg roll - another great pick. I never have made it to the Chow Mein or the Spring Rolls, but my Wife told me to get the Chow Mein next time because you get more of that than the rice. Very clean restaurant, great seating, even for handicapped people like me. We will be back again next week !!

Mrs. Taylor

This place used to be good a few years ago. The food was not fresh. They never refreshed some items. The only thing good there was the pink lemonade. I won't be going back

Carl and Lisa Symes

Great Staff. Fresh Food....

Rebel Yell1

Scott Gotch

Large selection!!

Amanda I

Floors are too sticky

Naoya

Bad management. Didn't stocked up on foods, foods weren't that good. Understaffed and false advertising about providing hmong foods. They should appeared on restaurant nightmare and needs a hearing from Ramsey Gordon because clearly they don't know how to run a restaurant nor have experience in management.

Pong Her

the food is nasty. the bathroom is nasty. the plates are dirty.

Jeffrey Swenson

Love the food but the plates are too small

CM Chew

great place to for lunch. i give it 5 stars for what we pay. Food is tasty. For the money where else can you get a decent meal, with vegetables, meat and fruit, all you can eat, plus drinks?

Fastest hunk of junk in the Galaxy

Worsted food I've ever had

david hanson

Caught them a little low on some popular dishes .carry out.35.00 feeds 4.

Amy Yang

For the price, I think the selection is great. Service was good, it’s a buffet so I got my own drinks and sat myself. Which I like! It made it go by quick and easy. In my opinion I enjoy this place way better than Ocean Buffet. This place just had a better atmosphere and service. It wasn’t as busy as I’d expect it to be, but I wish it was. It’s like one of those great hidden mom and pop shops around this area.

Nikki Okerstrom

Could have had more selection

Local Driver

Love this place Food is good and price is right. I always go for take out because i leave work and havent eaten all day and.the place is on my way home.

Rikku

The food was amazing. Really loved the Red Sausages and fried rice! Super yummy! The worker is also very nice!

Jason Tabor

We love ordering from this place, delivery is free and they always throw in extras. It is a little expensive if you're buying for more than one or two, but the food is of good quality and the staff is Pleasant to work with.

Marc Matter

Typical Chinese buffet with a little extra character.

george ongaga

Great buffe

Janelle Cross

Went to lunch with the family, been vomiting for 14 hours now.. The food was ok when we were eating it, I was prepared to give this place a 3. But clearly they have a problem keeping the food fresh and safe for consumption. Will never be eating here again.

Lucas Schmidt

An employee there chastised me for using the wrong spoon in an entree. He proceeded to give me the stink-eye for the remainder of my stay.

Sunny Vang

Came aaround 10:49 am because on the hours on google says it was open at 10:00am. Me and my kids came in and they were still setting up the food. We were standing there for a few minutes there was an older guy setting up he saw us, but didnt greet us or at least acknowledge that we were there. He continued what he was doing and still didn't at least let ua know that it will be a few minutes before they finish setting up so i just left with my kids. My first time here and will not return again.

Mark Anderson

Better than expected, flavorful dishes.

Leisha Greenlee

Not horrible.

E Nelson

Nice selection and with good variation on the usual dishes.

Eve Prochniak

New owners charge for everything. If you dont eat everything on your plate you will get charged. How in the hell are you going to know if you like a dish or not? Women’s bathroom is gross.

Brett Fricks

Not the greatest variety, but what they do have is pretty good and the price is very good!

Jorge martinez

Nice place with good rice ,they have lemons and limes .

Jackson Dupont

Food and Service is excellent for the Price, I think the food is best eaten within the day, a to be expected restaurant. Takeout is awesome!

Ndianna Umana

Horrible customer service, onc they get your money you become invisible & unimportant to them.

Andy Yang

Dirty and cold food. Poor service. Old man at the mongolian grill dropped the scraper, picked it from the floor and proceeded to scrape the grill then cooked my food. I did not eat that. Disgusting. I brought it to the cashier's attention and he did not even apogize. Don't waste your time here.

Winifred Quinn

Decent, but not great. Food is bland, but hot. Noodles overcooked. Price is good.

Yong Xiong

Good food for the price.

MATTHEW LASSISE

This used to be a good Chinese buffet back in 99. Not anymore. The food is terrible and you're taking a chance eating it. It's seems old, rancid, and not fresh food at all. The dining area is now filthy and sticky. The restrooms were just terrible. The walls are rotting and rusting away in the restrooms. The restaurant was very dead when I ate there last. I'm afraid I won't return again. I will not risk it with food poisoning and the staff seem like they don't give a crap.

Ruthina Belleh

The old lady at the checkout was very rude and disrespectful towards me. I went to go paid for my food and didn't have my bank card when I told her she said "do you carry cash" which I said "I don't carry cash", she proceed to say "what is wrong with your brain, what were you thinking" and the way she said it was very nasty. She proceed to insult me when I told her I'll go and get my card. That was the last straw, she need to learn how to treat her customers. Very unprofessional.

Meghan Hutchinson

John Guertin

This Asian buffet has just as good or better food at a FAR better price then ALL of the other asian buffets within 10 miles

Chelsey Hoehn

Food, service, and cleanliness were all excellent! The pho and crab legs were so good!!!! Was 15 dollars for the weekend lunch buffet, but was so worth it!

lisa clinton

Didn't even want to give it 1 star. The food was cold, lots of empty trays so not much choice. Asked for lettuce to make a salad, never filled it the whole time we were there. No choices at all for dessert! The ice cream machine is broke, there was coconut cream pie and maybe cheese cake that looked like they had been sitting there all day. Dessert bins were filled with cheese balls, animal crackers, fake Oreos, peanut butter filled crackers. Spent $24 for the two of us now just hoping we don't have food poisoning!!! Needless to say we won't be back!!

Huang Lili

Good fresh food ..wonderful service

Toni El-Amin

This place was gross. Selections was sparse. I was disappointed twice going here. So I won't return again. Chicken entrees was rubbery chewy meat, no shrimp. Just all around bad.

Pam Munkberg

Good food at a reasonable price

The Flash

They had great food

Minneapolis Photography

Front windows and door shot out. Sections of steam table didn't work. Old food.

philip cuomo

Food and drinks were good, service was great.

Oscar Lallier

Food was good but the floor was strangely wet of soup... Anyways don't forget to try out the Egg Foo Young!

Ebbie A

Good food. Clean environment. Respectful staff

Paul Manoppo

Great food and lots of selections.

Joe

The food was bland and not a big variety of food! Service was poor didn't get greeted when we got to the cashier or when we left. And I also find it ridiculous that if you leave your table messy they you charge you a extra 25% and if you waste food they charge another 50%, no other restaurant does that!!!! If your doing that bad in business that you need to charge extra for a messy table or wasted food you should think about closing or changling to get more business!! Restaurant was not very clean, pop dispensers were sticky garbage on the floor, was not a great experience and I will not be giving them my business again

Matt Viscasillas

The food is mediocre, even by generic Chinese buffet standards. Nothing was especially flavorful or hot. I'd recommend finding another buffet if you can. Been here twice, the 2nd time only because we forgot we'd been there a few years ago and thought the exact same thing about it.

Andrew Hintz

Will never go back. No one took our drink order i had to get up and get it. Food was dry and old could be because they were slow. My girlfriend had the twist ice cream said it tasted gross so i got the chocolate and it was spoiled tasted like sour milk. I told the guy at the desk he said hell look into it smh. I just hope we dont get sick

ying zheng

Nice

J. Darr

Get there right when they open for lunch. Food is fresh and hot.

sidney fullilove

The lady at the register was very rude and dismissive. The food was dry and old. The staff felt very unfriendly. Don't eat at this place!

Alan Johnson

Above average for Chinese buffet

Kolade Akinyede

Hardly any freshness in the food

Lexa Kandola

Huge assortment of food options buffet-style. Not the highest quality, but perfect for lunching out. Under $10.

Aaron Schwartz

Good food, service isn't all that great.

J Karica

Food was not fresh at all, it tasted old. My gf tells me "I'm being nice" on my review. I will not come back.

Jesus Ramirez

They changed owners n now don't have 1/2 the selection they use to. The service is cold n the hand written signs on the walls telling patrions not to waste food are offensive.

Sherome Cross

Mmm m. Nope, if you see yourself even stopping in here, don't bother, stop at this review. Went during lunch time on a Wednesday with the family, thank goodness we didn't bring the babies!!! 4/6 of our party members ended up with food poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, the whole poison factory man!!! Should have known something was up when these cats were putting 20 pounds of fresh fried chicken out for 12 customers occupying two tables. And yeah, you guessed it.

sophoeun Roeun

Food was a lot better than the other times I went there.

Boniface Wanjiku

Nice food

Matthew Larson

Great buffet loved the food

Shakita Green

It was a fun experience for me.

dylan salber

Pretty wide selection for the price but nothing here is that great.

clever benavides

Nice place,great price,lots to chose from,great food!

Kayvayyeah anderson

Went late at night so I can't really complain but everything was old and just blah. I'll probably try it again at peak service time

Leslie Baker

Medicore but good

Mario Keh

Whenever you want quick eats for chinese food

don berry

Ran down ...in the dessert section they had chips a hoy cookies and those cheese and peanut butter orange color cracker things and gold fish snacks????...big....NO...

Anthony Brown

Now I usually don't write reviews of places but this place needs the health department called on them the lil old lady stared at me with hate filled rage. she kept telling me to sit down as if I was going to attack her or something I was ordering take out and the orange /seaseme chicken was (MADE WITH GRADE D CHICKEN !!!!!!!) THE CHICKEN WAS DARK AS IF IT WAS NOT COOKED ALL THE WAY chicken is supposed to be made with white meat. This is the most unpleasant Chinese food I've ever had I WOULDNT FEED THAT $#!+ TO MY DOG. THAT PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN, ALL TYPES OF HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS

holly hale

Great buffet. Hot and fresh food.

MrWeirdFox

Great place! Doesn't seem to have changed in over a decade and I love the nostalgia. Price is low for tasty food. They're mindful of wasting food and make you mindful of it too!

Christina Casanova

AYCE pho

Wuffler Dance

Canned green beans?! Seriously.....the food was nasty.... and I was stuck paying a extra 6 dollars per person cause it was a holiday before i could evem see how bad the food was....literally had to spit out some of it and left sick.

paul monette

Price was good, but food was just ok!

Mai Cheng

~ They can’t cook right... No new food..

Angel's Rose :3

ITS THE BEST RESTAURANT/BUFFET! I RECOMMEND GOING HERE! ITS THE BEST! AND THE COSTUMERS HERE ARE REALLY KIND AND AWSOME!

Landon Nelson

I've been going to this place for about 15 years, so this place is sort of a unique place for me. The food in my opinion is a better than average in taste. Over the years they've had some bad days where the food wasn't great, and I've had fantastic days where everything is fresh. That's what you get with a buffett. They have a good selection of Chinese and some American food. My favorite thing that I get everytime is their red chicken sticks. Theres enough variety in my opinion to make it a better value than Panda Express across the way. My family and I used to eat in house, but we found out that you can fill a to go box and take a lot of food home for a cheaper price than eating there. Plus we can usually get 2 meals out of it. As for the lady at the front, she has worked there all 15 years I've been going there so I assume shes the owner of the place. Her English isn't the greatest, and sometimes she can come across as rude, but I think it's honestly just the language barrier. I really wish I could understand her a bit better. The interior of the restaurant is a little worn down with a lot of the original paintings and decor from 15 years ago, but its good enough to get the job done. Overall I still like this place over all of these years and is my go to take out place when I'm super hungry. Brooklyn Park doesn't have a ton of great options, but this is still one of my favorites. If you're skeptical, the to go prices are great and you can get a full meal for about 6-7 bucks. Give it a try!

Isa Felicia

Soms of the food gets dry sitting out but eveeything I go was pretty delicious for a decent price.

Steve Patten

Went for dinner on a Thursday night. Arrived about 7. Fairly empty of people. The food was ok but it had been sitting for a while. Around 8 some more people showed up and they started putting fresh food out. And dont go into the bathrooms. Need maintenance and a good cleaning. Old air fresheners everywhere in the men's.

Kevin Yang

Under New ownership as of 2018. So far they are still working on the quirks but they have the same exact stuff but more (like Bahn Mi's etc)! A lot more to go items, probably an ideal place if you want party catering. Also, to go trays are weighed by the pound and ultimately a better deal than LeeAnn Chin or Panda Express.

Scott Smith-Hall

Good food. That's all.

Tim Chin

Deng Yang

This place has new ownership. The new staffs are friendly. They have a few new food items upon request. And Sunday seafood is good.

Glennis Nold

Its not the best kept up a mom and pop kind of place

Annie V

I’ve been there twice now for lunch. The food has been fresh and plentiful both times. Honestly the first time, I thought a lot of items were bland and not seasoned very good. However, this last time, the flavors were much better. I also think their pho is better than Ocean Buffet and other buffets because of their variety of toppings and condiments like chili oil. Service is very good too. I recommend this place!

Kari Jennings

Great place great service good food.

officercat

good food with a large selection. a good place to go for lunch

Courtney Schultz

Over-priced for the quality of food. *Quality of food is questionable* I acquired food poisoning from this place, and I only had one plate.

Joe Levasseur

Eric Burblies

Best in town and i compare all food to theirs and is by far hands down best around!

Paul Bussey

Just OK. Food is average. Mongolian style option is nice for a fresh made meal. TIP: If you get it to go it's sold by weight and cost less then whole buffet.

Kay Farrington-Bobillier

Martin

Cheap decent buffet, not overly tastey, but not bad either.

Danny Vo

The place and food were okay. But when I ask them for some soup, there’s an old man treating me like he doesn’t want his job anymore. And finally I didn’t get the soup. Maybe he was mad about something but it was bad customer service.

T. R. Post

My roommate bought me lunch here yesterday. I was surprised to find out Panda Garden now has sushi (they didn’t the last time I stopped by there) but the selection was limited. The other foods I ate were okay at best. The fried rice in particular didn’t taste all that fresh. One bizarre thing that happened was the man behind the Mongolian Grill telling me to “eat fast.” What in the world did he mean by that? The place wasn’t crowded at all. I’m willing to try Panda Garden again in the future but there are definitely better Asian buffets out there.

Krista Russell

Good place to eat. Low lighting not overly packed. Food always hot. Mom and pop restaurant.

ola tunji

Not many variety. Meals not labeled.

Kathy Webber

Excellent food and service!

Ashley Northern-Wheeler

Been here food rarely fresh & when asking for fresh food the guy refuses & tells me not to eat it they aren’t making any more

Mario Lindsey

Food was cold and not fully cooked o would eat food out dumpster before eating here

Lucas Lee

It was okay here. I had a great time but my mom and 2 older brothers didn't really like it. There were no waiters or waitresses which was weird, but to me it was interesting and you also had to get your own beverage too which made things even more interesting. It was new and I didn't mind it at all but my family was very dissapointed. There is though, quite a small selection if food and dessert here which makes sense because they seem to just be starting out. No ice cream that I saw, but overall it was a wonderful deal for me! Cheap and decent.

Nicole Schroeder

Average Chinese buffet. Foor was a little bland and not a huge variety. Food was kept hot. Staff did not re-stock food items until they were completely gone.

scott Sager

Quick service

KissMee

New owner and now they're serving Pho. Very delicious pho.

Glenn Pierson

Not the greatest wont be back most food ddint look appetizing what i did way was dry borderline cold non existent staff guy that checked me in didnt even say hi. ..he said only you? I said yes he said 9.50 gave me a table reserved card and my reciept and left! Bottom line avoid for 9 and change i could have had at least a hot tasty or at least you know what to expect meal from one of the fast food joints in the area!!

Crystol Hilliard

No more Buffet!

Ryan Fullerton

This place was GREAT. Ignore the reviews that seem to ONLY dock points because of a supposedly "grouchy" hostess. People have bad days, and since you serve yourself at this buffet, it didn't affect the experience. There is a great selection, sushi is available, and the drink selections include soda, coffee, and milk, all unlimited, and all self-serve. The food quality was what you'd expect for a buffet. At $8 for lunch, it's difficult to beat. I'd recommend it. 01/13/14

Sierra Harris

Food be dry sometimes and not much of a choice

Leona Poling

BAD food you and then you will go home and come to find out it not very good and you pay to much for your food and the drink taste not to mention that you have to wait until you get up to get your food and beverage and set down to eat and you will need a box go but sometimes you take it out and feel like you should have never had bad food and they made their food better than it was

Karla Bowie Morin

adrien Steel

The best place to eat.

Chamisha Stevenson

Been coming for years.. Didnt except my punch card and needs new menu..

Elizabeth Lord

Jamie Klatke

Pretty dirty and not kept very clean. There was a bloody pad in the bathroom garbage, no top on it. Def needs some updating and some deep cleaning. I was scared to try the food but it's aight. Probably never coming here again. I lied the food is disgusting and this place is nasty. Way over priced 24$ for 2 ppl. No way girl, this place needs to get shut down lol fr tho. I feel like I need to go home and shower now. Wish me luck I don't get food poisoning.

Sam I Am

I thought I left a review before maybe it got deleted... my wife and I went there after her having 3/4 of her tounge cut out due to cancer. She was finally feeling like she could eat some real food other than a liquid diet and when we went there to the buffet table had two dishes that's it and it wasn't anything that my wife could eat or even I wanted to eat. I tried to leave the pljace because I said you don't have any food. They say you have to still pay? Why do I have to pay for food that I haven't ate? They got real nasty at me and said you still owe us for two buffets. I wasn't even in there for 5 minutes. I wanted to have some Chinese buffet there was only two dishes in the whole Buffet. There's got to be at least 50 or 60 slots for different types of meals on those warmer tables on the buffet. Only two little trays at 4:30 on a Friday night. It had always been my favorite Chinese restaurant I really hate to say this about them but they were threatening to call the cops when I left because I didn't want to pay because I didn't eat anything we didn't eat a single crumb of food because there was nothing that we could eat there was noodles and there was wontons that was it. I got up and left and they told me that I owed them $22 I said for what I didn't eat anything I didn't dirty a single plate or a piece of silverware I had a glass of water placed in front of me didn't ask for it. Really changed my mind about this place. You have a buffet, I Chinese food buffet you would expect 25 to 40 different types of things on a buffet table, the whole buffet table was empty except for Singapore rice noodles and pork fried rice that was the only two things. And they wanted me to pay $22 for that? Unbelievable they threatened to call the cops on me when I left because I didn't eat anything I didn't buy anything and I wasn't going to pay for a Clean Plate that was still clean I'm when I left because there was no food to be eaten. Very very disappointed. I used to love this place. I just never had ever even imagined going to a buffet where there was two items Singapore rice noodles or pork fried rice there was three hole warmers salad bar cart buffet table things empty at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and there wasn't a single customer in there besides us. I'm sorry to write this review but boy was that a bad experience. Get up to leave because you don't have any food to offer. And you threatened to call the cops on me because I didn't pay I didn't eat anything neither did my wife there was nothing to be eating. And I got threatened to be having the cops called on to me. I don't know about everybody else but I don't typically like the pay for empty plates or not eating food why am I going to pay $22 for nothing I did eat a single thing I didn't even eat a wonton chip. I want Panda Garden to reimburse me and give me a gift certificate for at least enough for me and my wife to go back there again and try to give them a positive review. They used to do oh good it was my number one Chinese restaurant then my wife got a stage 3 tongue cancer we went there for a soft meal something different besides mashed potatoes and pudding and there was nothing

Bernardine Doh

Spacious seating, great assortment of food And very polite staff. The Egg fried rice, pork chops and spicy chicken are absolutely Delish.

Jamie Brooks

Good food and good prices

Tiffany Wollum

It was ok, small variety, not my favorite. Friendly staff

I didn't have that much of a variety, and they used very bright fluorescent lights. Lacked the calm feeling of a Chinese restaurant. Instead felt like Chinese fast food.

I just really like eating at this place

New ownership. Food is pretty tasty and fresh. Good variety of plates. I tried the pho and it was Delicious! Pretty tasty. The bathrooms are clean and have all amenities available. I will be back for sure.
