    OMG, the options are endless, the food tastes amazing, the staff is happy and courteous, I had an amazing time stuffing myself full of hot delicious meals. It's affordable and absolutely amazing. It's definitely worth coming back. I might have to make it a tradition to return with someone new each time so that they can get the experience I had!

    First time here. Pretty standard Chinese buffet good food, nice vibes, and the staff is doing the best they could. This isn't a Michelin level spot, so don't come in expecting top tier service like the person in the first picture the second picture is just the actor.

    This place is very stingy with their portions and the waiters are rude. They took forever to help us at our tables and didnt serve us our drinks. Highly recommended trying a different buffet.

    two plates of food on a table

    Food here are actually pretty good compared to other Chinese Buffets in the area but the location isn't very nice! They make you pay 1st unlike other buffet places and what I've found a little off putting is the servers will come and leave the bill tray in the table at the end of your meal asking for the service charge (tips). Personal Recommendations: Black Pepper Chicken Fried Rice Crispy Butterfly Shrimps Potatoes with Butter Small Square Shaped Pastries (Desert Section)

    Crab cakes, cheese clams and shrimps along with variety of other seafood.

    I have been going to new panda buffet for years now with my best friend every time we're around culver city. It's was a great spot to grub. But despite being regular customers we have been kicked out twice from the restaurant. I understand first time was towards closing so they hawk us down while we are eating and kind of pushy to make you leave. Yesterday which was the second time It was around 8:24 pm and we were seated earlier and they close at 9 pm, one of the servers came up to our table and hands me a container for my ice cream saying "take your ice cream home because we're going home" and took the plate of food I was eating. I felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable and it hurt my feelings as if they don't like us or want us to go there and we always tipped, we never asked for anything, me and my best friend are very soft spoken kind people, we have never been difficult customers but their behavior was rather rude and unprofessional. kicking us out like that while I was still eating just because they decided to close 40mins early was baffling to me. They were also a table behind us everyone gathered up speaking in their own language and I felt like they were making comments about us as they were hawking me down while I was eating until one of them just walked up to us and told us to leave and take my dessert home and just takes the plate and soda away trying to say I have eaten enough. If they are open till 9pm then they're open till 9pm you don't just kick customers out 30-40 mins before closing because they suddenly decided to close early and snatch the plate of food I paid for from my hands. I will never come back.

I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great. Great service, good vibes, and delicious food. I'll be coming back!

Ordering style is the same, the layout is exactly the same, menu slightly reminiscent of the other. Pork belly over rice was good, noodle portion was small for the price. My biggest gripe was there was no A/C in the middle of July, and so many flies in the dining area. Who can enjoy a meal like this? Ended up boxing it up to eat at home. I think I'll stick to Joy in HLP. Your Homegirl, Violy
