Perhaps it's the fact that it's a smaller town compared to the Bay Area madness but folks seem nicer including at this location. Picked up some take out from here (the usual orange chicken, chicken, and string beans, eggplant tofu, and veggies and noodles as the sides) and it was solid as usual.

Ordered the plate, fried rice, string beans chicken and honey sesame chicken. What I got was honey sesame chicken, fried rice and green beans with onions, no chicken!

Worst panda I've ever been to. I never complain about bad service but this was just too unsanitary not to say anything. The girl dropped my bowl in the Beijing meat and then still tried to serve me the same meat that the bottom of the bowl touched. she never said sorry and looked at me to see if I would say anything. I didn't say anything and kept a smile thinking she would say sorry at the least! When she continued to grab the beijing I had to stop her and ask her if she can give me the pieces that the bowl didn't touch. She got mad that I asked that and just made a really ugly mean face at me and said nothing! I continued to pay and was grossed out by the food but I was so hungry and had to go to work soon. ALSO, I was eating my food and found a piece of plastic I'm assuming in my food. This place is just nasty people serving nasty food, I ended up tossing it

First time ordering using door dash & I get my order wrong, I ordered Beijing Beef and instead got Beef & Broccoli, so disappointing! Then I get only 2 pieces of beef and all broccoli. WTH! Come on, Panda!

Wow! Really ! So I ordered on app to pick up. I get to panda on time cashier guy asked my name I told him he checks the pick up rack and then turns to check countertop where my order was he goes and starts bagging it first two plates in one bag then he reaches and gets a second bag but some other worker tells him to go for his lunch so he tossed that bag and leaves to serve his own plate and sits to eat . Next cashier comes and asked To help me and so I told her, picking up my plate that was being bagged and pointed so she goes and finishes bagging to give them to me . I have to say wow on customer service. The stars are for the food not the service cause I do like panda food just did not like the service.

Asian Buffet - Cold items/sushi

Buffet? Oh yeah! I love them. I also get kinda ill afterwards. Why do I still do it? Why? I…read morelike variety. A little of this, a little of that. In that sense, (this) Asian Buffet hit the mark. While they didn't have crab legs for lunch (dinner?), they had clams, mussels, fish, and all the usual suspects for chinese food, and even, a half dozen types of sushi. $22 with tax and tip, I got my fill and more.

Been here a couple of times when I'm in Gilroy. $14.99 for lunch is a great value for all you can…read moreeat. Seniors get a dollar off. The sushi selection is small, 5-6 basic rolls but good enough as an appetizer. The hot foods were a hit or miss. The best were the bbq ribs, which were hot when I ate there at noon. It is the Chinese barbecue kind, not fall off the bone but tender. The sweetness was just right for me. The teriyaki chicken was good too, albeit not as hot as the ribs. They weren't dry and not saucy either. The chow mein noodles and fried rice weren't good or bad. The noodles were soft and not overly oily. It had a little bit of veggies but pretty much a base for the other dishes. Like the fried rice it needed extra seasoning/soy sauce and other dishes to pair with. The salt and pepper shrimp were decent size and were cooked right as the shell didn't stick to the shrimp. I had extra helpings on those dishes. Dessert had fresh fruit, canned fruit, jello and snack cakes/cookies that are standard at other Chinese buffets. The soft serve ice cream weren't creamy kinda slight on the icy side. I like to pair it with the sugar donut. As a buffet lover, this place gets a pass. Will continue to come if I'm in the area.

This is more about attitude than food. The food is actually my favorite but the problem is…read moreconsistency. My favorite restaurant was the Jacks Bao in Aptos. It opened, closed abruptly and then closed again after having very spotty service. I would often call the Monterey Jacks to see what was going on with the Aptos store. Despite it being the same business, the staff at both were always put off by my genuine questions. Especially given that I LOVE thier food and have written very positive reviews. When I called to find out why the Aptos location closed again without notice, it was like I was majorly inconveniencing them. Maybe, thank you for your loyalty. I literally ate their food at least 4 times a week. And I will go to the Monterey store to get those little dumplings I love so much. But maybe instead of treating customers like their love of your food is an inconvenience, have some skills at turning the experience to a win. So I ask here, why did Jacks Aptos shut down again?

We've been eyeing this place since it opened but never worked up the courage to come in. We often…read morego to the Aquarium and through the years asian dining options have always been really slim in this area. I'm happy to say that now there is a decent asian place that we can drop by if we have a craving or if we are bringing overseas friends to the aquarium. Very clean interiors, you seat yourself and order at the counter. We had the beef noodle soup, veggie noodle soup, and the XLB. The beef noodle soup was mostly soy sauce based, not too salty, just the right amount of savoring. The meat was not beef shank, but a leaner cut with less connective tissue so don't expect any chewy tendons. And the noodles were cooked with just the right chew. XLB was only okay. Not terrible but not something I would order again. Overall decent, and for Monterey standards definitely a 4 out of 5. Obviously cannot compare to beef noodle shops in the south bay, but this will do if you are spending a day touring the local area and have the craving for noodle soup. No free water here by the way, you'll have to buy a bottle of water at the front counter so plan accordingly.
