Empire Buffet has made some key improvements as of late. That calls for a star bump up…read more The drinkware has been replaced! There are some new cool lights near the buffet and checkout area. I have noticed better flavors out of some of the dishes that I wasn't crazy about before. Same great service from the host/owner, Mr. Lin. I just love the koi in the pond up front. My kiddos love getting ice cream from the machine that was unfortunately broken the last time we dined in on 6.26.2026. It's located in Hobbs, NM, near Albertsons Market.

I was very happy with the taste of the food, how fast it got here and that it was fresh and hot. The jalapeño chicken had just the right amount of heat for the dish. The general tso's chicken was crunchy and flavorful. Anytime I am in town for work and want Chinese food I will be ordering from them again.

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 3 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 2 | Price: 3 PARKING At dinner (aka lunch for non-cowboys) time on Sunday, this place is typically packed. Nonetheless, there was still free, ample space for the mini van in their private lot on 8/13/2023. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This place has changed significantly within the past few years for the better. That being said, there were many nuisances for me personally that will not being me back as often as I had hoped. The floors are dirty. Super dirty. The wheels on the carts they use to bus the tables and bring out the food squeak and are loud rolling across the tile. The place gets loud in general so much that it was difficult to have a conversation with the other three members of my lunch group. THE GRUB This is strictly buffet food. Most of it is Asian-inspired, however, there were options like spaghetti and pizza. My favorites were the orange chicken and spicy shrimp with the veggie rice. The spring rolls were good, but the egg rolls tasted strange. Also, there was a wok station and a self-serve ice cream station with 6 different flavors! LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBThey charge based on the child's age. SERVICE Our waitress was the hardest hustler in our dining area. MY FAVORITE PART... There were SO many buffet items! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Rude patrons who don't look at on-coming walkers and screaming kids! TIPS + Bottled beer is served here. + Pay before you get seated at the front entrance. They give you a ticket with your assigned seats. Wait for the waiters to take your drink order. You may ask for to-go cups. Then help yourself at the buffet!

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.

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.
