Pepper chicken and skinny noodles
Brandi F.

Panda palace is the buffet of all buffet's in town. Plenty of room for parties. But why do that? Don't! The price is fair for an adult and it will get the job done. We only wanted to eat one big meal and were able to do that here. The pepper chicken and "skinny" noodles are my favorite! There's a sauce station, dessert area, and a sushi line too! There's something for everyone!

I am a little surprised by the bad reviews here. Nice, clean restaurant with pay up front pricing. $17.95 includes drink. Polite and attended service. First, the good: My eggroll and wonton was delicious and red sauce flavorful! The hot and sour soup was on point. Lo mein was yummy and not greasy. Chicken dishes above average and peel and eat shrimp were fresh and clean! Lots of sauce options! But the star -- the fried chicken wings! They were some of the best I have had. Period. They were slightly curried and delicious and juicy. The not so good: Some dishes especially the seafood and sushi, were mid to not good. The stuffed shrimp and sushi bordered inedible. Since I am a more seafood than chicken person, I would weigh this the next time I wanted a Chinese buffet BUT if I want chicken wings with Chinese sides? Yeah Buddy!

I'll start by saying I don't usually dine at buffets, so I don't expect much from them in general. On this day, I was super burned out on everything else and had just finished shopping across the street. I was hungry and had to be at work soon, so I decided to give it a try. You pay upon entering at a cash register counter and let them know what you'd like to drink. $22.00 for a Chinese buffet--wow! A little on the expensive side, but I figured I'd still give it a try. The seating is comfortable, and the servers are great. They checked on me several times without hovering. The buffet was well-stocked for the most part, especially considering it was 2:30 in the afternoon. The food review: It's nothing special. The food was all very bland and lacked sufficient seasoning. I primarily stuck with proteins, as my dietary restrictions only allow for very minimal carbohydrates. Again, the food was very bland. Definitely not worth the price. Maybe if it were $12.99 or something--but definitely not worth $22.00. I wish them all the best, but it's a hard pass for me

Receipt

Absolutely horrible! The food was cold, tasteless and in most cases stale like leftovers from a day or two before. But the worst part is it also made me physically ill. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EAT THERE!

Great experience with the family. Friendly service and many food options to choose from at the buffet. Food was fresh.

Sweet and sour chicken that looks like an oyster on the inside

I visited on a Tuesday around 3:30p. I was on a mission to do reconnaissance for a Habachi…read moreexperience that I wanted to give a cousin. From my reconnaissance results, everything was wonderful at this restaurant. The hostess greeted me immediately and gave me a tour of the restaurant when I told her that I was surveying and comparing different Japanese restaurants in the area. She asked questions about my event and what I wanted in the experience. The restaurant was bright and clean, which I absolutely loved. Other places were way too dark for my preference. We toured the bar area, the sushi area, and the hibachi area. Everything was clean, organized and inviting. The hostess was very friendly, informative and helpful. She asked about the times that I might come and even suggested the best times for particular days. I felt so comfortable that I wanted to end the tour and order something to eat on this mission, but I decided against it until I found out that they serve dim sum. Since these delicacies are generally not available where I live, I decided to try a few of my favorites. While the taste of the shrimp & pork dumplings was underwhelming, the sesame balls were perfect. I am excited to bring my family here for the hibachi experience and I will update this review afterward. Update after the hibachi experience. When the five of us arrived on a Friday at 5:30 PM, we were greeted immediately. My tour guide from the previous day, remembered me and told the hostess to seat us at a special table. Then the usual process of hibachi started. Our cook was very interactive, funny and entertaining. He prepared our food wonderfully, seasoned it well and entertained us expertly. My cousin, whom had never experienced a hibachi dinner/entertainment prior to this, thoroughly enjoyed her dinner and raved about coming back sometime soon. We all had such a wonderful experience that we will return.

Shiso's got personality -- the sushi here is fun, creative, and full of surprises. You can tell…read morethey actually enjoy what they're doing in the kitchen, which makes it easy to enjoy what's coming out of it. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and the rolls had that nice mix of texture and flair that keeps you guessing in a good way. Now, about the dim sum: the ribs with black beans turned into a bit of a bone buffet (great if you're part-time paleontologist, less great if you're hungry). The pan-fried gyoza seemed to have skipped the "fried" part of its job description -- more soft than sizzle. But the sushi? Solid win. It's the reason you come here, and the reason you'll come back. Shiso is the kind of spot that makes Mobile feel like it's playing in the big leagues of sushi creativity -- just maybe let someone else take the dim sum experiment for the team.

I love this place so much. My husband and I went on very first date here and everything I go it is…read moreas magical as the very first time. The service is amazing and the food is soooo good. I always eat too much but it is so worth it!!!​​

I really wanted to understand the hype around We Roll, especially after seeing so many glowing…read morereviews on Instagram. Unfortunately, I left wondering if we all went to the same place. The concept is great: all-you-can-eat sushi and Japanese food for around $25/person, but instead of a traditional buffet, you order from the menu and everything is brought to the table. Just know they charge $1 for each piece of sushi left uneaten, depending on the roll. We tried a little of everything. I ordered the hibachi chicken and my husband ordered the teriyaki chicken. Both came out fairly quickly, but both were dry AF. The sushi, on the other hand, was actually good and tasted fresh. Service was another story. Some of our sushi took around 20 minutes to arrive...and we're talking two pieces at a time. Then came the part I couldn't overlook. One piece of sushi arrived with hot eel and spicy mayo on top, but the fish itself wasn't warm, which immediately made me question how long the rice had been sitting. I also noticed spots in one of the sauces that looked like something growing in a Petri dish. I asked whether the sauces were prepared ahead of time and was told yes, they're made in advance and refrigerated. And then I went to the bathroom. Nope. It was dirty enough that I decided I could hold it until I got home. For me, when the restroom isn't clean in a restaurant, it makes me question what's happening in the areas I can't see. Overall: Yes, it's only about $25 a person. But inexpensive doesn't mean my standards for cleanliness, food handling, or service disappear. I'd rather spend more or skip the all-you-can-eat concept altogether and go somewhere else. The sushi itself had potential, but between the dry entrées, slow service and cleanliness concerns, I wouldn't return. And I'm genuinely confused how Instagram has convinced me this is a five-star experience
