Service! Service! Service! This is what makes this place sooo good! The ambiance is nice and clean but nothing too fancy. The food is really good and the buffet has so many options be it KETO friendly, fried friendly, or just super tasty. Prices are good, but the extra stars are for the service!! read more

Panda Palace - Mix of crawfish, shrimps, and other popular faves like fried rice and lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

I've visited Panda Palace twice in the last six months, at both local locations, and I've really enjoyed it both times. I know the Yelp reviews are mixed, but I think people need to keep perspective- this is a buffet. For a buffet, the food is consistently good. There's a wide variety: plenty of chicken dishes, a nice seafood selection, and a range of sides. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. My only real critique is toward the guests- some common courtesy would go a long way. I've seen people coughing or wiping their nose while walking around the buffet line, and it just would be nice if the establishment put up some signs to remind people. Overall, though, for a relaxed, affordable buffet, it's a solid spot, and I'd still recommend it. read more

Always pretty good! Cleaner than most places. Staff is pretty quick to fill drinks. I do wish they had egg foo young. It would be perfect!

Food is always fresh and very hot. I appreciate how often they change out the spoons for the food and clean the areas. The only downfall is how hot and humid it is. You will slip and fall if not careful. read more

We like this buffet a lot. The food is good and the staff keeps the buffet stocked well. Lots of variety and they have sushi too.

This place had some of the most gut wrenching toe curling bad food. Never in my life will I visit again if you put a dogs ass on my plate full of dookie i would eat it with a smile on my face then the old crusty sushi the guy coughed on and the rotten clams with the hairy ahh rice noodle and Costco frozen foods. Do not come to this place. Do not take ur date to this place. She will leave you. U will get insane case of runny explosive poopies. This restraint will make you want to write a bad review right outside after eating there bc of how shit it is like we are.- the wife read more

I usually treat myself once a month with the buffet and soup to go. I just got home with my tray and was enjoying the fried rice with teriaky chicken and nearly bit down on a silver curly thing that looks like it came from a pot scrubber. This was my last treat if they can't rinse the pots and pans better. read more

Neighbor hood joint you can fill up in. Always get sushi, Crab Rangoon .... Interesting watching others

If there was an option for zero stars, I would rate it that. Food was cold as well as my wife's, waters were left unfilled, and not to mention it's overpriced. Plus, the front of the place is trashed and riddled with litter. Honestly, just go somewhere else. read more

Lots of variety of different shrimp and southern fried stuff. The cost was $15. 95 adults$ 6.99 More on the Buffett than most Chinese food buffetts. Friendly staff. Fresh food Sunday about 1:30 pm read more

A well-maintained Asian buffet with decent selection and great price. Simple sushi, boiled shrimp, all the good fried stuff and the Mac n cheese with baked fish, skewers, oh the skewers, and fruit and desert too! read more

This is a great place for a Chinese buffet. Please excuse this review. This is a great place to eat for your Chinese/American fare. I have been going here for years. They could use some improvements in my opinion. It is kinda hidden in the back by the theater in crossroads shopping mall. I believe they have another location in D'Iberville (the promenade) but I could be wrong. The food I got was excellent! Very fresh and hot because they just brought it out but even tho it was good ; but wasn't able to stay hot/warm when I went for a second round. The sweet tea (free refills) was fresh brewed but not sweet enough. I'm from the south, use to sweeter tea. I noticed this place is very busy for dine-in and long lines for to go orders too. They offer a dessert bar in the middle with salad bar and condiment station too surrounded by they regular offerings. They have fresh boiled shrimp and crawfish. I don't know about fresh blue crabs for just lunch. They make fresh sushi rolls in the back and a ice cream cups in a deep freezer in the back corner with popsicles. They don't offer WiFi and provide military discount with military ID only for the person and their spouse. Not the whole table. The seats are padded but don't expect couch. They have small parking lot in the front but don't be discouraged if can not find a spot if it is full. They have plenty of parking across the street. With that being said. They have plenty of tables/seating inside. No mask required. read more

The only good Chinese buffet in the Gulfport / Biloxi area. They have a very big selections of food to select from. I do recommend coming during their busy hours so the food is fresh. There's been a couple of times I've gone in between their lunch and dinner time and the food was not fresh. So, go during their busy time if you want fresh and hot food! Also they do offer crab legs on their buffet but, they only bring them out in 20 minute intervals. Probably because they have to cook them or because they want to keep the cost down. So, as soon as you see those crab legs hit the hot plate you better go get some. read more

New to Mississippi, family and I wanted to try here,foods OK but the service leaves a lot to be desired,most of the wait staff walk around with that I don't care I'm just here to do the minimum to get a check attitude, very disappointed we had high hopes seeing we like Chinese buffet restaurants!!!! read more

Impressed as soon as I walked in. Very clean, great buffet selection, and food is good. This is one of the better buffet's and I would certainly recommend trying g it out. This is my first visit. The cleanliness and overall appearance and layout really make this place shine. read more

Panda Palace - Just a mixture, Chicken shrimp house specialty, pork Pan Fried Dumpling, General Tso's Chicken and some others. - Chinese Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

The food was cold and bland even though it looked like it was piping hot at the bar. Sweet tea wasn't sweet. Root beer tastes like Pepto. It was not enjoyable at all. The staff was friendly but I'm paying $15 a head to eat, not for smiles. That price is for a buffet as or a tiny carry out plate. Both are the same price. The atmosphere was great. Food was just cold and absolutely positively BLAND!!! read more

Recently moved from Oakland California where Chinese food was abundant and authentic in Chinatown. There no disappointment in finding authentic Chinese cuisine at Panda Palace the food was well prepared and abundant. As far as all you can eat, I am not one to sit down and eat $16.00 worth of food but did carry out where I filled up the container and could eat two meals off what I packed, It is delicious and savory. read more

Very good food a great selection and always hot and fresh. Hard to find boiled shrimp on a buffet that you can peel. These are great size is right and way to peel. The vegetables are also perfect. Have had the beans,broccoli, and mixed Vegs. They all have the Asian crunch that I like. Sushi bar has a good variety although not a huge fan they do have a lot of side condiments for sushi. Staff is always eager to fill drink. Usually have a large selection of fried food and crabs on most days. Check it out worth the money read more

Went for Sunday lunch. Place is clean but may have more options during dinner time. They had fried blue crab amd boil, and other seafood which is worth it but went due to pics of sushi and they ONLY had variations of California roll and nothing like pics of salmon or tuna.. staff was prompt and nice. And it was cheaper I'm sure than most buffets (under $15 for lunch). Not bad overall for price. But if ur craving sushi or steamed crab legs would go for dinner or pay more for better/bigger selection buffets. read more

Extremely rude server. would not make eye contact nor answer a question me and my friend had. read more

Panda Palace - the entrance to the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

After a day of sightseeing we were hungry. I didn't feel like cooking. Hubby wanted Chinese buffet......again. I haven't been real happy with the last few tries, but there was this one close to the campground. So why not? Better than cooking. The parking lot had quite a few cars in it, usually a good sign. It was also a Friday. Seafood night. Good for me, not good for shellfish intolerant husband. $13.99 per person, drink not included. The restaurant was clean, spacious, not a lot of decoration. A wide variety of choices, including snow crab. I was actually very surprised and pleased. Everything I tried was hot and fresh. Loved the crab. Probably some of the best I've ever had at any kind of buffet. It was moist, not salty or watery nor was it dry. I had a couple of plates worth. Liked that they offered scoop ice cream instead of the fake soft serve kind. If we were in the area longer, most likely would have hit it a second time. read more

The food was alright and the service was good. The food is cold and was old. The soup good and was hot. I would recommend going here during the day as the kitchen is closed towards 7. Would have been a 4 if the food was hot and fresh. read more

Came here at 9:20 website said they closed at 10:30 they kicked us out and said the kitchen is closed most of the food is decent but the shrimp is very mushy and over cooked egg rolls are cold rice and noodles have no taste or flavor. read more

This place was surprisingly good. It's a buffet which was cool because my significant other loves sushi and what not, and I'm not a huge fan. With things like pizza, chicken, rice, veggies and potatoes you can fill up on some stuff other than sushi and hibachi if that's not your number one. Full desert bar, which I should have tried first because by the end of it all I just didn't have the room in my stomach for it. Go during lunch, the buffet is cheaper (obviously) and kids under 2 eat free! The venue is rather large and for the most part the food is really fresh. Service is good also, and there is ample parking in the area. read more

One star is too many!!!! Tasteless food!! Can't believe I spent money on eating here!!!! Do not waste your money here!!! The general tso's tastes like ketchup!! So disappointed!!!! read more

Me and my husband went out to eat. We never do this cause of financial reasons. He wanted crawfish and I want Chinese so we called they had it and we went. Worst waste of 17.97 ever. I truly couldn't even eat the Hong Kong chicken it was old and hard and stringy. It's hard to believe they would put two week old left overs out on one of their busiest nights of the year. The rice was greasy and the noodles were about the only thing decent. The crawfish were soggy and tasteless no seasoning. The only thing I can say positive is that the waiter was nice. Even the deserts weren't good everything was just not fresh or not cooked right. Very disappointing and I am a very easy person to please I eat just about anything. Save your money for someone who cooks fresh food. read more

Panda Palace - What I wasn't able to chew up because it was so hard to where it even cut the inside of your mouth. - Chinese Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Monday, 5:00. I haven't been in a couple of months. I got my favorites: Fried shrimp Pepper shrimp coconut shrimp Shrimp with meat around it. salmon Pepper chicken salt and pepper crabs I hate to say but all of it was terrible! The food was hot and fresh but they have changed the recipe or something cause everything just tasted bad and looked different than before. I wont be going back and I hate that cause I really enjoyed it before. Would not recommend. Staff is great but it doesn't make up for poor food. read more

Two years ago I gave this restaurant a terrible review -- right after it reopened after COVID. I went back today after a long absence and it had reverted to being my old favorite. The food was fresh and there was a wide variety. Although the price is somewhat higher ($17.10 for seniors) it is pretty much average for buffets in the area. One item that is not exactly Chinese was the crawfish with small ears of corn. The corn picked up the flavor of the crawfish boil and was spicy and delicious. All in all a great meal. read more

tuesday, 4/23/2024, i witnessed a panda palace employee in gulfport mississippi (not the manager) attempting to charge an african american lady) $18 for the buffet when only cost $14.59 with tax it is $15.61. obviously, she is a regular. she asked why she was being singled out because they never charge anyone else except she and her son more for the buffet and they would charge them a $1extra when they should not be charged any increase since they do not monitor or charge anyone elase for an all seafood buffet plate. she also explained that when they increased their buffet to $14.59, the most she or her son has paid is $16.68 which is discrimination!! he ended up charging her the $16.68. when she was leaving she asked him for his name and job title and he just to act all nice and explain how expensive seafood is. she told him that that was not the issue since no one else was being charge! by the way, they did not charge me extra and i has all seafood in my takeout plate!! a p.s. he did not even know how to add the price increase because he makes suahi. he had to get the african american lady escorting customers to their tables to help which she also told him that she had no idea why or how they were entering that charge in the cash registed. so she just fixed it so it would print a ticket for $16.68. these people need to reported and audited!! i would very much like to help this lady who told me she was 59 years old!!! who can i report these discriminating people to??? read more

Very poor customer service, they charged me 80.00 on my card. When I went to pickup my food the say is for tomorrow

This place is a Chinese buffet with more vegetarian options. The food is hot and the floor is clean. The management is friendly. They have a nice selection. I will be back! :) read more

All of the buffet foods were fresh and the restaurant was clean. We preordered and all of the food was cooked to order. We were pleased.

If zero stars was an option, I would have chosen that. I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE AND I WILL SHARE THIS WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. They were terribly rude to an elderly veteran recently who was visibly over 80 and simply requesting his senior citizens discount. I've since heard of this happening other times. I've also seen some of the staff posting comments on a Facebook post concerning this matter that are belligerent and unapologetic. This is inexcusable! The manager needs to be fired and they need to clean house from there. The food is mediocre and over priced compared to some of our other Chinese Buffets. They are not the only game in town. Royal Super Buffet is right down the road...GO THERE! read more

For the price of $8.99 for lunch and $11.99 for dinner (weekedays) you can't find a better selection of foods and tasty. Most of it was pretty authentic tasting but a few dishes were modified to cater to local patrons. Servers are quick to clear your table and be available. read more

Please take a moment to test this idea. Take out your phone and call them, ask to speak to the manager, then see if you get him on the phone or if they just hang up on you over and over. The food is left sitting out unchanged from first thing in the morning until closing time, from the taste of it yesterday's food may in fact be today's as well. There are flies by the dozens and WILL aggressively fight you for their share of your meal. The option to purchase a plate to go is in fact just for certain food followed by an extra two dollars for this and then another extra three dollars for that. This IS an all you can eat buffet, right? I was confused about it until I noticed how well versed at communication the manager is... That is, using vulgar language and telling me to pick a different restaurant if I don't like it. Well sir, I think I will from now on... I encourage anyone reading this to do the same, it's not worth the money much less the risk of catching a food born illness or being cussed out. read more

Panda Palace - Thanks for the last meal I'll ever eat from there... - Chinese Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

So here I go yelping about another Chinese buffet that isn't your ordinary "buffet". Just south of the movie theater at the Crossroads, is a casino inspired Chinese buffet. Now what is a "casino inspired" buffet you may ask? Well if you are no stranger to the Coast you will know exactly what I am talking about. But for those new to the area or just visiting, I am talking about a buffet with nice high end furniture, carousal style buffet line and large plasma TVs in the dining area. PP is just as nice if not better than the buffet I yelped about in D'iberville a few weeks back. They offer buffet style Chinese food or traditional dining entrees. Enjoy your fill of Chinese food favorites or order of of their very delicious and moderately priced a la carte menu. You can also come in and have a take out sushi order prepared for about $7.00 and the maki rolls and sashimi are actually pretty good. I started my meal with some crunchy rolls (*** stars) and some yellowtail (*** stars) and eel (***stars) all was not bad but they could have had some soy sauce bowls instead of the plastic condiment containers. They had a pretty good Christmas roll (*** stars) and the Boston roll (*** stars) was something I had never tried. Now don't get me wrong, the sushi here is no comparison to Samauri or Fatsumo, but then again they also wont put the same type of dent in your pocketbook. Once I was done with the sushi, I tried a little of their duck and vegetables (*** stars) and seared pork chops (**** stars) The spring rolls (*** stars) were ok and the table service was very prompt. Now you are probably wondering how I can give a buffet where the food was all rated about *** stars got a **** star rating. My only response is, "Location, Presentation and Service". So if you are looking for a great place to catch dinner on the way home from work, or to host a big group you might want drop in on PP's!!! read more

I have been here a few times, I haven't really ever had any issues. The food is consistently good.

I love Asian food and my other half does not, besides eating some chicken and/or pork, but he loved PP. He loved how they prepared the crab legs and b/c of that he was willing to try other things. Everything was so fresh & great! I have been back twice already! read more
