The food at the buffet was cold. My cousin and I ordered hibachi, but the meal was burnt, overcooked, and quite unappetizing. The chef seemed unsure of what he was doing. Although the servers were nice, I wouldn't recommend going back. read more

This place is terrrrible. Go to united buffet. It's up the street in the same plaza as Walmart. Wayyy better and get more of your moneys worth. read more

I'll be honest, I was a bit skeptical based on the location. This establishment is not situated in the greatest neighborhood and it isn't the cleanest restaurant in town... but the food was decent and the buffet pricing was unbeatable. There is plenty of seating here. We came after a funeral service as a party of ~25 and arrived right after lunch. We paid dinner price which was $16/person. In this day and age, I'd consider dinner under $20 a steal... especially for an All You Can Eat menu. I was particularly impressed that they offered blue crabs and L.A. galbi, so you already KNOW I made the most out of my meal here. There is a sushi selection and grill section which for me was nothing to write home about. I've seen worse selections at other places, and I did pick at a few rolls and they weren't bad. I'd be interested to know how often or how seasonal the blue crabs are offered because to me that was the star of the show here. If I were in town, I'd come back for the dinner menu, especially for the crabs and galbi. Yum. read more

Favorite items: Pork loin, crab rangoon, sushi, cheesy spinach, beef short rib. I can't stress how much the sushi was fresh fish and good ratios of fish to veggies and rice! Usually buffets don't put as much fish on the sushi, but the guy saw which rolls I was eating and made sure to keep the sushi bar stocked with things I'd like. Mashed potatoes were alright as well, and the soup area had over 4 or 5 options, with the hot and sour soup being the favorite that I've had in a bit from Chinese spots. Even with not many people coming out, the buffet was fresh, hot, and everything that was out was edible, presentable, and quality. read more

So my family and friends love this place out of all the Chinese buffet in Philly. (There isn't a whole lot). It is one of the better buffets in general. When it comes to Chinese buffet you get what you pay for. And it's more about filling your belly for less so the standards are different. PanAsian is spacious, good food variety and seems to be among the cleaner places. Overall, I recommend coming here. Base on Chinese buffet standards, I would give the place a 3 and half stars but will round it up. I know giving any buffet places 4 stars is a lot, but like I said it's a on a different scale. read more

This rating is closer to 3.5 When Panasian first opened, it was worth a 4.8 Panasian for the first 2 or 3 years of its opening, was the BEST Chinese Buffet in the Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Bucks County area, and dare I say, one of the best $8 Chinese Buffet lunches in the world. The majority of the pictures I am posting will be from that era. Their servers were better than most buffets, but their food and selection used to be INSANE. Their food is still decent, but not where it was during their prime. The employees at the front have always been rude and nasty, but their servers, the people that used to work at the sushi bar and hibachi grill were friendly. Oh, how I miss the Panasian of old......... It is still a better destination that most Chinese Buffets out there, but it used be on a different level... read more

I've eaten here twice--The staff is very prompt and ready to get you in and out which is a good thing because who wants to wait around to be seated at a serve yourself spot. Anywho I really like the noodle and sushi bar but the last time I was here both me and my boyfriend felt nauseous after eating... not sure if we both overdid it or if something we had was bad but we've been hesitant to come back since. Can't say I'll be running back here, but the food didn't taste bad at all. read more

Good service and nice selection of entrees. Clean and not crowded. Staff is friendly and courteous.

The food was good, the people were nice, and the price was okay. Not bad for a place to eat. read more

It's definitely better than the buffet across the street. I went there few there. I like the selection especially the tofu and the chicken kabab read more

So this is my report the food was good The bathroom had no paper toilet. The service was good. The ice cream was good except for the chocolate chocolate was not good. The strawberry vanilla was very good. Thank you for my report bye. read more

1. The neighborhood: downright scary. It's located on a very busy intersection with cars blowing smoke in your face. The parking lot is dirty. Lots of unhappy faces around. Overall impression: urban misery at its finest. 2. Interior: Worn down and uncozy but all right for what it is. 3. Staff: OK staff, no dirty dishes and polite. We left a 20 percent tip without hesitation. Not a smile in sight though. 4. Food: Hit and miss. Some dishes are much better than others. Good: pork ribs are amazingly soft and juicy. All kinds of mystery meat a-la "general tso's" - outstanding, soft, juicy, meaty, unexpected. The classic fish meatballs surrounding a single shrimp - excellent. Flan is so so, edible. Fruit is good and fresh. Bad: Sashimi is not fresh, eat at your own risk. Rolls: better choice than other buffets but overall 2 stars. Korean ribs had very good charbroiled flavor but undercooked, very tough, and chewy. Could've been great if given more "low and slow" time. Some dishes are too salty. Ice cream is full of ice crystals, low quality. Jello has too much gelatin in it, very rubbery :)) Ugly: Go back to number 1. Bad neighborhood, bad atmosphere, nothing can fix it. + watery diarrhea 1 hour after due to sashimi. The rest of the company abstained from sashimi and were OK. 5. 3 adults, 3 kids - 80 dollars with tips. Could you do better? Maybe... Will we return? No. read more

The service is amazing and the food is even better my top favorite would be the Korean ribs and pork loin

The food was good and hot and the selection was good for children and adults. The service was great.

The first visit there was GREAT. Went with a bunch of friends and it's byob so we brought along some beer. Dinner was $13-$14 pp plus drinks and that's pretty cheap. Plus I checked in and got 10% off. It's a buffet so it's not the best quality but it was better than most spots I've been to. The place is clean, service is decent and there's a lot of options. I went again a week later and the food wasn't as fresh. I had the lo mein and there was definitely something wrong with it. I think it was spoiled. Other than that one item everything else was fine. They have sushi. I didn't try it but my friends seem to enjoy it. read more

Panasian Buffet - He wants the buffet he gets the buffet lol - Pan Asian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Very decent for the price! I found this place through YELP review and Im so happy I came here. Between hibachi, roasted duck, lobster, clams, steak and sushi among others this place was exactly my liking. The sushi was a little questionable but still decent. The waitress went out of her way to show me the freshly served lobster and scooped almost a whole plate for me. Thats very generous!! For 12.99/person wednesday night, I say this would be a local and to go spot for food everyone can enjoy! The location has a small parking lot but located in a nice seating area. In the area? Definitely try it out! ***Address is incorrect! 781 Adams Ave**** read more

Love this buffet!!! This is the best buffet to go to. It's in decent location and it's clean. I was surprised to find out how affordable it is to eat here. The food selection is plentiful. You have fruit, soup, sushi and grilled foods. They also have crab legs which I suggest you keep an eye on the swing door for the staff to come out with the pan of crab legs. It's a good place for big groups too. read more

Honestly wasn't expecting much when I arrived at Panasian Buffet this afternoon. It was my third choice within 20 feet. Decided against Pho because I didn't feel like it and already had Cafe Saigon banhmi twice this week already. Browsing Panasian Buffet's yelp page showed much props for the sushi section and for $7.99 lunch special, its honestly worth the risk. Boy were they right. The quality of fish and extensive selection of rolls came as a surprise. Honestly one of their largest sections. The rolls were well made and comparable to sushi joints in the northeast and much better than typical Chinese buffet's half ass attempt at including Japanese fare. Downsides are really the parking, really small lot that gets packed quickly and only small selection of Chinese food of average quality as well as a weak HVAC system, really froze my ass off today while eating. Maybe they want you to leave quicker? Bottom line, for basically the price of one roll at a Japanese place you can have a full selection already made. read more

I would give this buffet 3.5 food wise . Coming from Boston I've had better . But this buffet , I would rate it the second best in the city , my first being ruby buffet other than the one time bad experience I've had there . But this is the only buffet by far that I know serve lobsters . My number one thing which I usually come for . My waitress was very attentive . So that's a plus . read more

My husband and I had an early dinner here tonight. We both thought it was great! It is an excellent example of the type buffet that has some Asian & American food, sushi, & seafood. It was definitely worth the $29.50 for dinner for two. I would especially recommend this lace if you like peel and eat shrimp & whole crabs! read more

I think this place is pretty decent. Close by, reasonable price for all you can eat. Way better than Old Country Buffet. I mainly go here for the sushi and sashimi. The only downside are that they charge you for dessert and the parking lot available is horrible. read more

The food is average. Not worth the money honestly. Covid safe and requires you to wear gloves which is nice. The crabs were brown and a lot of the seafood didn't look fresh at all. The fried shrimp were really tasty , but there wasn't much I enjoyed. read more

This place really surprised me. It has a very large selection of food. They have traditional buffet food, plus extras. The sushi selection is large. They have hibachi style in the back, and pho. There is a variety of soups on the side. For a buffet, the food tasted decent as well. I only came for lunch, but wish I had come for dinner so I could try the extra seafood dishes they advertise for lunch. This is one of the best buffets in Philly (that's not saying much though). The price is not bad either. I'd come back. read more

Its the best chinese buffet i've came so far. I give 4 stars just because the crab legs didnt come at all when i was there for 1,5 hours. Or maybe it came and gone right away. However i didn't see them refilled it. Sushi and sashimi is quite fresh for buffet. And hibachi taste good too. Btw i didn't get the ice cream. For 13.99 dinner, its a good price. Btw the address is wrong. Its not 833. And its kinda hard to find the place if you're not familiar with the area read more

My favorite buffet. The food is actually of quality here not just bland and watery like some other Asian buffets I've been to. I love sushi and they have a large sushi bar with plenty of options. read more

Great place. But the waitress was kicking me out while I was working on my computer after my meal. She was very rude. Food is good tho. Will come again. Will tip less. read more

Updating my review. Went today for lunch (they were serving "dinner all day" so it was $15 compared to whatever lunch usually is.) I don't know if this is a permanent policy, but I guess it put some extra seafood dishes out (raw oysters, stone crab, etc.) Without shell crackers, stone crab is pretty much decorative. Anyway, I pretty much filled up on sushi which was FAR better than one would expect from this or any buffet. It doesn't get refreshed much, so get there early. It was easily worth the price just for the sushi. Fresh nigiri and creative rolls. read more

Roaches were everywhere. When we confronted an employee about it, she brushed it off like it was nothing. It was absolutely disgusting to see them in the booths and next to our food. Won't ever be going there again. read more

Panasian Buffet's sushi is on point when you arrive at the right time like we did today. We came in at noon for lunch and there was a plethora of freshly made sushi. Now Sunday is also an all day dinner price. So with your sushi, you can have crawfish, crabs, etc. I highly recommend it! read more

Panasian Buffet - Pan Asian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Looks can be deceiving. I must admit, I totally judged this place because it always seemed kind of shady to me. But I was proven totally wrong after a visit for a late Sunday lunch. After you squeeze into their tight parking and go through their doors, you'll be surprised by the decor inside. It's beautiful and very clean. My favorite touch was the buffet table in the shape of a boat. The food selection is great, with all you favorite Asian buffet staples. Additionally, certain days feature special items. I even broke my personal rule in never trying buffet sushi. Call me a sushi snob, but everyone would agree freshness is a key to good sushi. I gave it a shot here and was pleasantly surprised not just by the quality but also variety. Overall great meal and definitely proven wrong. Would go again. read more

I starved myself all day in preparation for going to battle at the Panasian Buffet. First tip of buffet warfare: Scout your enemies. My stomach growled and my eyes lit up. I was super impressed with the huge variety and the fact that the food was presented so nicely at the buffet tables. There were stuffed crabs, stuffed clams, octopus which I found super interesting, crab meat, crab legs, ribs, pork, fish, dumplings, rice, noodles, soups, salads, hibachi... the list goes on and on. They even had the largest sushi selection I've seen and I normally don't go anywhere near the sushi at a buffet but it looked so enticing that I just had to try it. It was ALL delicious. Whatever was supposed to be hot was hot, whatever was supposed to be fresh was fresh. The food I had could have very easily been served to me by a waiter and I would not have known this was "buffet food". This does not mean I don't know good food... it just means I know when something is better than I would have ever expected it to be. Service was on par. The plates that were used were promptly removed from our table, refills were immediately offered and I saw someone bringing out food all the time. I was really surprised that they served such nice food at a buffet place for such a great price and it is definitely a place I will continue to visit at lunch or dinner. Additional tips to come out victorious in any chinese buffets: 1) Devour as much seafood as you can. 2) Stay away from fillers such as noodles and rice 3) Order tea or water instead of soda! 4) Chi he wan! It's chinese for eat for fun! It's a buffet, not a fine dining restaurant! read more

Panasian Buffet - Pan Asian Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The 2 men that make the sushi HATE IT when people take sushi! They always try to intimidate you and stare you down when you are taking the sushi and especially when you are taking the sashimi. I thought this place was a buffet? Why can't I take some sushi?! Do you get a bonus at the end of the day for saving as much sashimi as possible? Because other than that, I don't see no other reason for them to "save" the sashimi. I've been coming here instead of the other Chinese buffets because of their great sushi selection but if they're going to be cheap and rude about it, then forget it. When I went yesterday, there was absolutely no sashimi. I guess it's off the menu now? read more

A very good selection of sushi and sashimi....by far is the BEST ever served in a buffet. The neighborhood is not the safest or nicest but to do a quick drive in for dinner would be at your own risk. I sincerely hope that they hire an armed security officer like Serabol Restaurant. read more

I decided to try out this buffet on the spur of the moment. The website showed the highest prices on Friday and Saturday nights so I figured 6:30pm on a Friday should be about as good as it gets. If that is the case, then there is nothing here worth making a special trip. The sushi and sashimi was good, but most of the rest was average at best. The steamed snow crab legs looked good, both of them. There was never enough for the relatively few number of customers so I didn't try them. One surprise, especially for a buffet like this, was the London broil. It was tender and had a great grilled flavor. The steamed dumplings and sticky rice were great too. read more

Amazingly fresh and delicious for the price! I was hesitant to come here be from the outside it seemed ghetto but it's actually really good. The sushi is super fresh and they have roast pork, pigs feet, rosy duck and a variety of skewers among the usual Chinese buffet items. $13.99 for dinner on a Sunday? Can't beat that! read more

Came here around 2:50 2019-07-23 and they appeared closed. Their glass door and windows were dirty and smeared so I could barely see inside and couldn't see if anyone was inside at all.I pulled on the right door and it was locked so I decided to look on line to see if they were still open for business and there was no evidence of their closing. I decided to go back and try the other door. It opened and once I got past the dirty doors and windows I could now see other people inside eating. This place has been getting worse over the years; maybe that now they're under new management we can all expect better things, better food and less to no sugar added to foods that shouldn't have it. read more

So I recently came for dinner, in what's been a really long time, because I haven't been happy with their price changes, menu changes, and always their lack of customer service, especially their management, front desk, and that one guy that cooks everywhere, recently at the sushi bar the last year or 2. Overall, the food was pretty decent. Except for United Buffet's Poke Bowl, they were far better than United. Few Disappointments... They charge the same price for dinner as they've always had... YET.... No Crab Legs, No Roasted Duck... No Lobster Claws which they had offered once they stopped serving Crab Legs a while back... This time around, not much Sushi Nigiri if any. It was 95% Sushi Rolls. Service is decent as usual, better than most Chinese buffets, not by much, but better. read more
