Panda Express in Valparaiso has some ill-suited servers. Today, for the first time in my life I had…read moreto tell this Asian young man (I am Asian too) to give me a larger portion. I said he was stingy. I think, he was thinking just about money. This is the second time he has served me with a bad attitude. Last time, he lumped everything (rice, super greens and mushroom chicken) in one bowl. I did not like it. So today I asked him to put the super greens in a separate container. He put a tiny portion in a tiny container. When I pointed out that the portions he put in the bowl (chow mein and mushroom chicken) were too little, he pointed out that this was because the super greens were in a separate container. He then proceeded to serve me more chow mein -- not chicken mushroom -- probably because chow mein is cheaper. Imagine the mindset. Should he be working in the food serving business? NO, not at all. He should be working in a bank. When you offer food to a person, even in a restaurant, you should do it with grace , courtesy and respect. It was difficult for me to enjoy today's meal and I may never return to Panda Express!

Tried to go to the Royal Buffet in DeMotte but they're closed until July 5th, so decided to give…read morethis place a try. Got there around 2:20 and not a car anywhere near the place. "Open" sign was on. Walk in. Narrow little room with plywood sheeting on your right . . . over time I concluded that there used to be a dining room there but it's now plywooded [can't really say "walled"] off. Little window to order through. Small table with a handful of menus. Color papers printed and stuck on walls showing "pictures" of some of their offerings. 1. The rather unpleasant young lady who took our order and our $135 screwed it up.. I clearly said, and pointed to, Hot Singapore Chow Fun as one of 7 entrees, a PuPu Platter, Egg rolls, Chicken Teriyaki. Instead of the Singapore, I got the House Special Chow Mein. How do I know? Because they give your menu where she circled the items. I wasn't going to drive 46 miles round trip to get it corrected. 2. Greasiest egg rolls I've seen, let alone ate, in my 64 years. They actually dripped grease as you bit into them. A bit over-fried, too. 3. Chicken teriyaki was so dry, they should advertise it as chicken jerky. Not worth 1/3rd of the $8.25 for 5 sticks. The stuff that comes out of "Jacks Links" Jerky is more tender and has more moisture. Royal Buffet's chicken sticks are 100x better. 4. Scallops in PuPu platter had too much batter, and probably the minuscule shrimp, too, but it could have been that there wasn't any shrimp at all, could be they just gave me batter with a tail. Crab rangoon was quite good. Egg roll's in PuPu advertised as shrimp . . . I'd need a lab to verify there was single molecule of shrimp in that cylinder of grease and crisp shell. 5. Daughter thought Mongolian Beef was "really, really good" and she also liked her House Special Lo Mein. She also really liked the white rice that was provided. 6. Didn't talk to son about how the house special fried rice or chicken and broccoli were. 7. Haven't had my kung pao chicken yet. 8. House special chow mein [given erroneously] wasn't inedible. Never had ordered it before so I had nothing to compare it to. Will never order it again. Anywhere. So food: 2 1/2 stars Service: 1 star [Young lady wasn't very pleasant and seemed to be put out by having to take our order] Ambience: 0 stars [a dump], even for what's now basically a carry out place Rounded up from the average of 7/6ths to give a reluctant 2 stars. Next time, I'll be more than happy to drive an ADDITIONAL 46 miles round trip for better food.

I refused to try it-I already have my favorites and there was no way that this place could compare, no way. 20 years later and in memory of my old co worker I thought I'd give it a try. UPDATE: I have a new favorite Chinese restaurant. I didn't know!! It's a pickup only now, but the inside of the restaurant is so nice. I missed out on that experience. The lady who took my order was awesome, she asked me how long before I got there and she timed it perfect. I made some friends in the little pick up area, who had been eating there for years. And when I got to work another co worker told me it was one of his family traditions to eat there when he was a kid. I didn't know!!! First, I ordered the Mongolian beef, my go to no matter where I go. That was my measure of whether I'd be back or not. I also ordered pan fried noodles-I prefer that with the Mongolian beef instead of rice. And I ordered a couple egg rolls. It was so good, flavorful, great portion, I enjoyed it. I made a mistake ordering egg rolls......... I ordered two and should've ordered 4. Not because they were small but because I didn't want to stop eating them. I will go back and re write my review if something changes but for now I encourage everyone to hit this locally owned restaurant that has been there for 32 years.
