Pandita Express or "Delights Chinesse [sic] Food LLC" as their business card said on March 17, 2026…read moreis one of the best food trailers in Hobbs, NM. They offer Chinese and Japanese fare. A second trailer just like is on the Lovington Highway near Green Meadows Park. I always go for the #15 shrimp fried rice ($14). Their fried rice is the best in town. The amount of shrimp is fairly decent. I came kind of an off hour at close to 3 PM, so the food probably wasn't the freshest, but it was still really tasty. The shrimp is a bit overcooked. Takeout boxes come with an egg roll, fork, napkins, and condiments. Service is always fantastic. The guy who was at this trailer is often at the Pandita Express #2 trailer. He speaks both Spanish and English. So here's how it works here: Order. Pay. You'll be assigned a buzzer. Food usually is prepared very quickly. Perfect for my hangry butt.

Pacific Rim delivers fantastic Asian fusion fare. I combined their ribeye with their fried rice…read more It is outstanding . The ribeye was perfectly seared--juicy, tender, and full of rich flavor, cooked exactly as ordered. Paired with their fried rice, which is fluffy, loaded with fresh veggies, egg, and that signature wok-tossed taste, it's a winning duo. It was not greasy. It was perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. Great service, welcoming vibe, and solid value.

Usually these are really refreshing but the pineapple made it really sweet. Order the hot and sour soup. Had great flavor with the little amount of spiciness and sourness but was not very warm. Calamari with the perfect amount of breading, cooked perfectly and not chewy. Great with the marinara dipping sauce. Spicy tuna roll was very good, very fresh with the right amount of kick. Green chili roll. I personally did not try it, I do not like cream cheese in my sushi roll but others at the table loved it. They stated this is the best roll on the menu ......... if you like cream cheese in your rolls. I ordered the panzit with chicken, it was very salty. If it had less salt I think this dish would have been very good. The noodles and chicken cooked perfectly. Sizzling beef & Shrimp - the beef and shrimp was cooked well but the house brown sauce had a very weird flavor. Hobbs is our hometown but we have lived in California and Las Vegas for a long time and this restaurant did not meet our expectations of Asian food.

Empire Buffet of Hobbs, NM…read more.. It's decent buffet-only Chinese food. This restaurant sits in a plaza adjacent to Albertsons Market grocery store. Parking can be a hassle during peak hours. I miss this place when it used to be Peking Restaurant way back in the day. That place had some wonderful ambiance that made me want to return. Empire... not so much. It's very generic & boring. The staff members back on 8/25/22 were no nonsense. Not particularly friendly or welcoming. It's basically the only place in town for your Chinese food fix, though. Don't forget an ice cream on a cone before you walk out!

The best word for the food here is grotesque. The buffet dishes are underheated and tasteless…read more Very greasy.

It was very clean inside, the food was always fresh and constantly being changed (there is one person dedicated to monitoring the levels of food so that nothing runs out). The Chinese food was mostly chicken but everything was crispy and hot and meaty - not mostly breading like some other places. Even the green beans were good! I would skip some of the items like the sushi, egg tarts, and soup, but the cakes, fruit, and apple pie were so delicious! It was pretty good for the price and would definitely come back if I was in the area.
