    Great place great food! This is one of the best Chinese buffets I've been to! Lots of variety compared to most buffets. The whole place was very clean and the food was fresh. They had a long wait but they actually got us in really fast. I guess you know it's good when there's tons of people waiting at the door to be seated. It was also fairly cheap. We went around 1:30 and it was only $14. I'm not sure if that was the lunch price or dinner but not bad overall!

    My friend and I came here for dinner tonight, as we eat here semi-regularly and enjoy the food and have never had any issues. The food was nothing different than usual tonight, until I look down at my plate and see what looks to be a larva/maggot in my food. I'm absolutely appalled with the quality of service we received tonight considering they were so hesitant to comp our food. As a restaurant owner/employee, I would think they would want to provide a better quality experience considering the circumstances. If you like maggot-infested food, Panda Garden Buffet is a great choice for you and your family! If I could leave O stars I would, considering I had to purge my entire dinner. I will never return.

    If you're looking for a decent buffet style Chinese restaurant, Panda Garden is pretty spot on. Their buffet is extensive and includes all of the staples: fried rice, lo mein, general tso's chicken, sweet and sour chicken, cream cheese wontons...the list goes on. They also have a portion that has some American choices available as well if there are picky eaters in the party. Free choice sushi is also available. It's nothing fancy, so don't get your hopes up, but it's all included in the price of the buffet which is usually $6.99 at lunch.

    They have a good selection of dishes, and the food is always fresh. The prices aren't to bad either. I'm a little biased as this place is a Christmas Day tradition for my family, but it's good any day of the year.

    Great food. But like most buffets, the floor could be cleaned more regularly. Or even new carpet.

    The food was hot, fresh & tasted great. Lunch buffet for two with drinks was less than $20! Would definitely recommend.

    What an interesting spot for food! This was my first time at a GC and I wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect. I will say checking out first kind of threw me off. I would call it the most American of American buffets. It was packed even for 3:30! I really try to get pictures without anyone in them but that was pretty tricky here. They had: salad/fruit bar, baked tater bar, BBQ section, taco and chipotle area, and I think two others. Their desert bar was pretty impressive: waffles, cheesecake, soft serve and much more. Taste of the food was a bit better than what you would expect from a buffet. Definitely worth the price of $13/adult! This particular site was very senior-friendly, which was nice to see.

    This is the second time that I have eaten at this location. Both times the restaurant has been…read moreclean, this includes the bar area too as it is hard to keep these areas clean. The server was attentive and polite, and quick to check on us and refill our drinks. I started with a salad with lots of toppings. I seriously need to remember to get a plate instead of a bowl because I always run out of room... After the salad bar came the main dishes, Cajun Pasta, Pot Roast, Green Beans, Okra, Cheeseburger, Beans & Cornbread, Fried Chicken, Hot Wings, Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese... The list goes on and on. Banana pudding, chocolate chip cookie and chocolate covered marshmallow for dessert... My friend and I went for the early dinner and for him and I it was less than $30.00. Not bad for a meal and we are stuffed... Definitely worth going back again.
