Overall, this restaurant was decent but not particularly memorable. The food was okay—some dishes were flavorful, while others felt a bit bland or overly greasy. The portions were fair for the price, but nothing really stood out as exceptional.
The service was polite but a little slow at times, and it seemed like the staff might have been a bit overwhelmed. The restaurant itself was clean enough, though the atmosphere was pretty basic and could probably use a little updating.
It’s not a bad spot if you’re craving Chinese food and happen to be nearby, but it’s probably not somewhere I’d go out of my way to visit again. Solid enough for a quick meal, just not amazing.

The food was great today. There were 4 of us 2 Adults and 2 Children. We definitely showed up at the right time because everything was fresh we didn’t have to wait on anything (that’s a plus) The best part is I didn’t have to pay and the kids got a long and we had a great day ️

This one will be in the pros and cons list style because I feel it will be more effective.
I will say we have a family of 2 adults and 3 teenagers (14,13,13). The total including drinks was $64.15, which I feel is very reasonable these days.
PROS:
* The price is very reasonable for the current times.
* There are a lot of different food choices.
* There is an ice cream machine, just chocolate and vanilla.
* They have duck sauce, and that’s a huge win for me personally.
* The inside has small trinkets for sale, which is fun.
* Big parking lot.
* No fish smell when you walk in.
* They do a good job keeping the food treats full and switching them when they are empty.
* The wait staff cleared the plates from the table promptly.
* Both times we came here, we received a $5.00 off coupon for a return visit.
CONS:
* The temperature of the food is warm, but since a buffet, it is never really HOT.
* They only have Pepsi products…
* No hot tea option.
* I DO NOT SUGGEST THE FRUIT. We tried it both times, and it just was not good.
* Although they have soft serve ice cream, they did not have cones either time we went.
* I feel that there are too many seafood dishes as well, but that is just a personal thing mostly.
OVERALL:
We will likely return, but I am going to be completely honest. The reason for the return business is because of the price being so reasonable. The food is only mediocre at best. but in the financial crisis our country is dealing with currently, mediocre is what I can afford.

Big panda is my favorite place to eat in the area. The only good buffet I’ve been to, great staff, reasonably priced, welcoming environment. I love the hulk mask Halloween mask covering the light, something about it makes me feel at home, this place oozes with charm. Best crab Rangoon I’ve ever had

Visited on a Saturday evening in October around 6:30 PM. It was a little busy but still had tables empty. The price was AMAZING. $12 for adults and includes drinks. The staff was prompt in removing plates and offering a smile. They were also very quick to switch out low food items and plates. There were gloves to put on when getting food when we arrived but they seemed to run out later so we had to go without for a few plate trips. The variety was awesome. They had most things you could think of, including chicken, beef, veggies, seafood, mac & cheese, fruit, rice, fried rice (two types), donuts, cookies, ice cream. I noticed there was no sushi. The flavors of the different chicken dishes I tried were very strong and good. Peanut butter chicken is an interesting one. I didn’t have a chance to try the soup but I wish I did. I may try to return and bring my young picky eating kids to see what they think.
The bathrooms weren’t bad, other reviews said they were. The women’s room has two stalls and there was no wait when I went in. The soda being included in the price is a huge plus, there are good soda options too.
I will return!

Nice place, especially for lunch. It was only $9.99+tax with a drink included. Plus they give you a coupon for your next future visit. Food was ok, nothing too special. Limited selections of soup.. They did not have Wonton soup. What I really did not like was how they had every single ceiling fan on….. My plate of food wasn’t hot for very long with the fans going full speed.

This is your standard buffet. The food here used to be delicious, but this last time (the first time back since the pandemic) the good was nearly inedible! Sad, because the staff were friendly and the lady bussing tables was working so hard

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.

The food is pretty good 8/10 when it comes to Chinese buffets, the price is good, 11$ with drink and I got a 1$ coupon.plenty available even though it was crazy busy when I arrived. Extremely clean, I literally saw ppl cleaning as I walked in. And the vibe is chill, you pay as you arrive, grab your plate, drink, utensils, then sit down wherever you please so service is nonexistent for that overall 4/5 stars, definitely a place I’ll come back to

I love this, it’s cheap (10.75 lunch) and there is such a variety and they have a candy bar (my husband thought that was cool) it’s self serve drinks which are included in the price. Everyone was kind and friendly, it was my husband and I with our 1 year old and we got a $2 off coupon, honestly the best Chinese food I have had in awhile, will come again
