Service was great for me Sometimes the food should be more fresh as far as frequent changing needs to be done to keep food hot but I never had an issue with this buffet price is very reasonable with the selections as well The staff is friendly and constantly cleans as much as they can I do recommend read more

I used to come here all the time with my family. It's been about a year and a half since we have come and we decided to stop by and it was a big mistake .. First I want to point out the some big health violations 1) The drink dispenser is atrocious. There is mold growing out of the ice dispenser and I so wanted to take the soda nozzle apart to take a look but I was scared of what I would find. 2) The rice scoop sitting in the water that is not temp controlled. Who know's how long that has been sitting there 3) The desserts are sitting on an ice block, I'm not sure why the sushi isn't!! I wonder how many people have gotten sick from this. Who know's how long anything has been sitting there. Most of the meats were pretty hard and dry. Every thing was super salty. Except for the clam chowder, which needed more salt. Utensils sitting in dirty containers. The whole place could use a damp cloth running through it. This place is not that busy and they have so many employees sitting and standing around. It was $18.99 for one person, 10% off for seniors. I guess you get what you pay for. Honestly it wasn't worth the price for me. My family and I, all left very unsatisfied. We won't be back. read more

Background On Visit: Once I found out about the price of the dinner buffet, I was sold on the idea of patronizing the shop. How cheap/affordable, you say? Well let me tell you/show you. Prices: Lunch Price (Monday - Friday: 1030am-3pm) = $13.99 Dinner Price (Monday - Friday: 3pm -9pm) =$18.99 Saturday and Sunday (all day) = $20.99 Location/Parking: Located in a strip mall on the SE corner of Ramona and Maine Ave.. Parking can be found in the shared lot up front. Ambiance/Decor: Okay ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Service was okay. Staffers were able to clear our table of used plates through out our stay. Food Offering/Quality: Overall, the food quality and food offerings was just okay. Don't expect much with the price. The crab/crab legs was okay read more

I don't frequent buffet style restaurants. But I am glad I gave golden panda buffet a try. We were greeted right away at the front. We were asked if we were going to be consuming soft drinks or water. At first I thought it was a little strange to ask since at other buffets drinks are typically included with the buffet price. But at this place they are not. They will give you a different colored cup depending on what you will be drinking. Price was $20.99 on a Saturday for dinner. They have a pretty nice spread. We enjoyed most of what we ate. The dessert spread was a little disappointing. But otherwise very good. read more

Mu eldest son treated us here after our doctors appointment. Was greeted, informed us can choose we're to sit since early since they just open. Everything was so yummy and delicious. My favorite was their rice noodles we as Filipino call it Pansit cooked perfectly not greasy. BBQ Pork. Orange Chicken, Fried chicken, all the seafood cooked or fresh was all good. All the California rolls, fresh fruits, selections of soups and salads was all fresh. And selections of desserts and ice-cream all so yummy. WOW! All delicious. Restaurants always kept clean and organized. read more

This is one of the best Chinese buffets around the area. I love that most of their dishes are not the same like all the other Chinese buffets. The quality and taste of their dishes are also good. Unfortunately we live 25 miles away. read more

This place is absolutely delicious and clean. I've been coming here with my family since 2021.

All the food was cold , nothing tasted fresh & had no flavor. We tried multiple plates, but we tasted warm sushi, cold chow mein, and cold chicken. Would not be coming back anytime soon read more

My friends suggested to have dinner at Golden Panda Buffet. It was my first time there and my friends were very helpful. You paid upfront before you are seated. The place was spacious and clean. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They were walking around to take empty plates or to clean tables. There were wide selection of food. The buffet included; pizza, fried chicken, beef and broccoli, many fresh sushi rolls, Crab legs, sautéed shrimp, honey walnut shrimps, butterfly shrimp, baked salmon, rice, chow mein, salads, fruits, desserts, ice cream and more. The food was very fresh. The staff who were working behind the open buffet were bringing more fresh and hot food very frequently. The place was packed on Friday night. The staff were really amazing, they cleaned tables very frequently. At the end, one of the staff brought us fortune cookies and asked us if we wanted to take a picture together, so she can take it. We did! She was really sweet. I am glad I went to Golden Panda Buffet because it was such a fun night and a new experience too. read more

I would not come here I came here once to eat with family members and when I went to get sushi I saw a cockroach I told the lady and she went and just removed the tray and just went about her day would not recommend this place read more

Buffet has wonderful foods to choose from; seafood to fried foods. That said, it can be overwhelming for many different options lol. Also wouldnt suggest the soda cups, misheard the question and it really ups the price from the buffet deal. And then just go around 7pm, for more quantity before closing time read more

it's a solid buffet. my parents and I come over every so often, and I pig out on the chow mein. the cream cheese wontons are also sensational, you'll know when you try them. we enjoy our time here for sure, and I don't really have anything to complain about. it gets full on the weekends, but I think it goes to show that people are satisfied with what golden panda has to offer. definitely make the trip to come over. read more

The green seaweed is so good. As well as the salmon and sway fish.Also the green beans.

Great service! Friendly cashier. So helpful whenever I needed urgent orders for party trays. Thank you, Eva. You've done an awesome job!

So! I visited here on May 4th, 2025, and it honestly wasn't that bad! This was a first time visit! So I went to read some of the reviews, some of them are negative and some are positive. I would like to call out some of the reviews: - Staff were friendly and helpful! They constantly went around to see if anyone had finished food, and they were on it! Shout out to the staff team on 5/4/2025 sunday morning! - Some Food was hot and fresh (except the fried rice and chow mein)! Almost burned myself getting a sesame ball! The place itself was amazing! The sound was netural, I loved how they had like action lights as the lightning, overrall it was a perfect place for me at least. Pricing is okay! On weekends it's 20.99 per person, however I am unsure for the weekdays. Please check their website!! Desserts were amazing! I loved it! (I even got seconds) Overrall, this buffet is amazing and some of the 1 star reviews are false! Don't believe them. read more

This place is simple, but it offers more options than its competitors. I've been to other buffets with a similar theme, but Golden Panda Buffet has a wider variety of choices and the foods are delicious. read more

I've been here several times with my in laws for their lunch deals for seniors. The food is ok, nothing fancy or over the top. The last time we went the food did not taste too great compared to all the other times. We went around 12:30 on a Wednesday too. It's never really busy but an ample amount of people. I usually go for the fried shrimps, stir fry bok choy, clam (pretty small in size), baked mussels, one of their salmon (forgot the name but it's in a red sauce) is pretty good. Not too many options if you really have a few options you prefer to eat. It's not bad or good. It wouldn't be my go to if I want something good. Still would recommend if you want options. read more

I came here at 5pm on a weekday. Place was pretty dim, not much ppl. I wasn't greeted at the door, and surprisingly I saw multiple staffs (cashier, waitress, sushi station, dessert stations...) were their phone instead of really managing their stations/roles. Sushi off the bat was poorly maintained. Avocados were darkened which already telling me it was not made fresh. Was really angered me was how those sushi trays were not even on ice (raw salmon and others just on countertop). Fruit trays, however, were on ice so not sure who thought about sushi trays are kept room temperature on plain counter? The dessert station are literally baked goods like store bought... The whole atmosphere was ok, but not that terrible. Waitress did fine with clearing dirty plates on time, but never did she interact with us at all even though I left a tip. I also noticed how workers were not wearing gloves when they handled food trays. One lady by the dessert station: one hand on phone talking while other hand literally touching jello (contamination) when she was moving the plates around. I had a poor experience. I would not be interested in coming back to this buffet. Overall staff members did feel like they cared much :( read more

02/15/2024 Came by the day after Valentines Day there wasn't a lot of people about 30% full. The week day price was $16.99 and $15.29 for seniors. There were several items missing from the weekend menu. 3 different kinds of shrimp and the beef ribs. Still a good value. You can easily spend $12-13 dollars for a burger combo at Wendy's or Jack in the Box. I really love the Hot & Sour soup, Baked Mussels, the Fried Chicken is pretty good too. On a humorous side note I saw 4 one star reviews with the same picture of a roach on the handle of the food tongs hahahaha cmon roaches gotta eat too! Just kidding. Restaurant was clean with no critters walking on the floor. read more

A lot of food, very tasty flavors and good price. Front guy explained us how everything works. read more

There's a reason why this place is so cheap. The food is old and nasty. The chow mein tasted like plastic and the fried rice wasn't fully cooked! The rice grains were hard. Everything is so flavorless and old. The fried chicken was OK but the red oil coming out was a turn off. Only good thing was the ice cream machine. read more

This is my go to buffet. Selection not bad for the price. Food items always fresh. Plenty of choices from hot foods, salads, fresh fruit, desserts including a chocolate fountain for marshmallows and strawberries. Oh and don't forget the sushi. Young lady on top of clearing the plates off the table. As big eaters, there are plenty of plates. See again soon!!! read more

Golden Panda Buffet - The tab!!! - Buffets Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

Food: - food options were definitely limited for a buffet - fair price for the number of food options - ice cream is not frozen yogurt (which may be the case for some buffets) Service: - friendly waitstaff (most spoke some Mandarin) - pay when you arrive Ambiance: - small restaurant - tables weren't close but it wasn't super spacious - definitely limited spots in the lot - semi clean read more

Food is ok but they have the Chinese Bortscht soup among the soup offerings including miso , clam chowder and Chinese hot and sour soup. The soup is delicious when fresh . Food wise is average and similar to other buffets. read more

My mom wanted to eat at a buffet and my daughter found this place. We've been to MANY buffets, so it's always nice to try out a new spot. This place is a little further than what I'm used to, but I was more than ready to eat. Plenty of free parking on a Sunday, but it's limited to two hours which was more than enough for us. The waiting area is quite small so we chose to wait outside till the whole group was here. Had to pay before being seated. Many places to sit, but since we were a big group, we were seated at the end of the buffet (dessert area) which was fine. You will find dishes underneath the food stations which was really convenient. The utensils were at the dessert area. Drinks can be found at the beginning of the buffet which was the sushi area. The cups will come from your server. Different colored cups for the water and the soda. Many different options for food like: sushi, salad, veggies, soup, seafood (crab), chicken, and dessert (cookies, flan, sesame balls, cheesecake). I like how they cut the dessert into tiny pieces because I'm so full after eating the food and it helps that the desserts won't get wasted. The staff are really good about clearing your plates off the table while you go and get another plateful of food. Definitely ate to my hearts content. Will be back! read more

I think we've given this place enough tries to say No More. My boyfriend and his family like buffets. We always go around towns to try different ones. This is our third time here. The first two times wasn't that bad. We already knew the MSG and being thirsty after part. We can deal with that under the circumstances of $15.99 per person. We came here again tonight at around 7pm on a Thursday. It was pretty empty, might be 5 tables occupied including us. The sashimi at the sushi bar was not fresh, the rice for the sushi rolls was hard and dry. We had hot plates after. There was no more steamed rice in the big rice cooker. My boyfriend asked the staff for more and a lady just scraped the bottom and gave him a small bowl. He asked her to see if there's anymore at the back, she said she's not making more for the night. It was only 7:30pm and they're closing at 9pm. My boyfriend was disappointed, it was cold outside and he just wanted a bowl of fresh steamed rice to go with the dish. Disappointed about that. read more

I have to agree with my fellow Yelpers. Three stars. Lots of options on the buffet from soup to sushi to hot items to cold items to desserts and ice cream. At the current time, the price is $14.99 for lunch. read more

I've been coming here for years with my family. It's located in a bit of an odd location in terms of the road to get to the lot, but has a lot of parking spaces available. I think the food is overall very good especially for the great price. They have a large variety of options like crab, shrimp, chicken, pork, noodles, fried rice, crawfish, fish fillet, beef's, sushi, mussels, sashimi, desserts, and so much more. They even have chicken from Krispy Krunchy chicken. The buffet interior itself is quite large with many seating available. It's well decorated with nice panda graphics and good interior lighting. The service is great and the staff are very attentive and friendly. There is always staff walking around to take finished plates pretty quickly. Overall the price, food, and service has always been good so we will often come back read more

One of the best seafood you ever can dine in. Wide variety of Italian, American, and Chinese food. Full containers round the clock, delicious items including salads, soups, main dishes, fruits, sweets, and ice cream. Affordable prices, great service. It's the place of choice if you're single, couples, or families. Clean & comfortable; highly comfortable 5 stars at least. Dr. Mazin 2024 & 2025 over and over read more

So first time here. Not a bad spot if you really do not feel like cooking or eating your usual tacos, burgers etc. surprisingly, it was good, clean and affordable. The choices they have were reasonable. I destroyed their shrimp area! Anywho, the caveat is that these folks charge you up front. Which it's ok, let's say we get that out the way. However in my case, the lady straight up brought me the fortune cookies as a form of saying, "your time is up" . Kinda didn't like that, however. Every restaurant runs their shop. Anywho, give them a shot and see how it works for you. read more

Decent selection of food for the price. There's a mix of sushi, chinese, and american foods. Their fried chicken is from Krispy Krunchy Chicken (there's a sign). Decent selection of desserts.

I came here during lunch on a weekday. No wait. 1 adult and 1 senior = $31.51. The food was fresh and always filled. They had a a few items I've never seen at an Asian buffet. Service wasn't welcoming but it's ok. They give you your cup and you serve yourself for your fountain drink which is located on the side. read more

The sushi are just basic rolls with variations of imitation crab and sauce. Hot foods like the orange chicken and broccoli beef are the same as you will find in any gringo Chinese fast food restaurant in southern California. They also have pepperoni pizza and fried chicken, which were fine. Overall fantastic but basic Asian buffet. For $14 per person at lunchtime, this place is amazing value for money. read more
