We arrived at 7:30pm last night (Thursday). We were quickly seated and drinks brought out ASAP and kept full. The dining room was clean. The food was well stocked. They have exactly what you would expect from a Chinese Buffet, with a few additions. They had crabs broken in 1/4's and fried, they had whole crab as well. There were bacon wrapped shrimp too. The crawfish were actually seasoned (most Chinese buffets have NO seasoning). I asked for butter for crawfish and the waitress quickly got it for me. The sushi choices weren't as massive as some I've seen, but they were full size sushi, not just rice and seaweed with 1 ingredient (as I've seen in some). For $15.99 I think you certainly get your money's worth. It's worth a try. Hope you have the same experience that we did. Just remember, it's a buffet! read more

All of the Food was cold, a fly was flying around the sushi, felt like the sushi has been out forever it tasted not right. So sad never again. read more

The best Chinese buffet I have ever been to. High quality and good selection. They have a wok where they cook your noodles. Sushi was good and they had steamed clams. The apple pie was good with flakey crust. Came Saturday during lunch hours before 3pm. Cost was only $11.99 Don't confuse this with panda express chain resturant. read more

I haven't been here in a while and didn't want to pay the prices of LA STAR so I decided to go to Panda Buffet. The whole restaurant looks dirty and food and trash was on the floor never picked up by the staff. The seating was worn out. To top it off, the food tasted like it had been sitting there a while and the sushi was stale. The service was okay, but I don't think I'll be returning again to this buffet. read more

Last weekend we went there for my friend`s birthday party. Well, after I found out we were going to a Chinese buffet , I really did not give any expectations ( since all the chinese buffet are the same pretty much). we had about 15 people total, and they left a good area for us , the server was a young lady , and she was really nice to us. After the drinks order been taken by her, we off to the "real world". I gotta say, this place does has a lot to choose from, many seafood for sure ! and your typical Chinese dishes. I checked the yelp while I was waiting for my gf to get her food, and I saw so many low ratings. I think the management has changed or they did checked what people say about them on yelp. I did not find that much issues from the reviews . Now is the taste, all the food I choose was good (not like wow! ) but for a buffet , I will give it to them, the taste is there, not as bad as people mentioned. all the stuff was hot and fresh (maybe I was lucky at the right moment to eat there?) in the middle of the meal, the restaurant owner made us a free whole pan of sushi ! He said it is a birthday sushi pan for my friend( kinda nice and funny to me) . read more

This place is great. From the parking to the service to the food quality to the price. Constantly refilling the line with fresh food. Great service checking if your're okay not too much but letting you know they are there to help. I LOVE everything i ate.

Absolutely disgusting!! I should of listened to myself while in the parking lot! But with the lot pretty full it must be good right!!? Nope!! Food was cold, chewy like it was from days ago, although the rice was hot! Maybe try some watermelon...can be bad.....yuck!! Cold but been sitting out for days!!! Probably going to feel horrible for the rest of the day!! read more

Food is always good. Here every weekend, hibachi on point, eggdrop on point, crabs always good.

Checked in to eat around 3:15pm was told lunch was $10.99 and because we ate the crawfish and shrimp they put out for dinner at 3:45 we got charged there dinner price because they watch there food. So basically you will get charged base on what you eat. read more

I love their bacon wrap shrimp and hot sour soup. I've been going to this place and always satisfied with their seafood. Unlimited crawfish, crab and some times oyster. Great for the bucks read more

After reading how they treat Disabled war veterans I will never spend another dime in this dump. Veteran and his service dog asked to leave Lake Charles restaurant Jillian Corder Jul 20, 2015 09:37 PM LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - A veteran and his service dog were asked to leave a Lake Charles restaurant Friday by the owners -- a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Now the young man has filed a discrimination complaint. It's not the first time owners of the Panda Super Buffet have told someone with a service dog to leave, but veteran Brian Wallis is hoping that it will be the last. In addition to normal commands, Koon helps his owner, Brian Wallis, with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. "I struggle with anxiety, depression. My mood is always up and down, up and down." he said. Wallis served in the Army National Guard, part of the 39th Military Police Company. He was diagnosed with PTSD last yea. That's when he got Koon. "(He's the) Best thing that's ever happened to me." he said. He brings Koon almost everywhere, and is used to being questioned. "I'll just stop and say, he's a service animal." Wallis said. And according to the Americans with Disabilities Act, that's all Wallis is required to do. But dinner Friday was different. "The lady went to 'no dogs are allowed in here; you have to take you dog outside.' I go to pulling out all my paperwork, trying to show that he is a service animal, He is registered; he is allowed to go in with me. They just weren't having it." he said. Managers called Lake Charles police who talked to the employees and Wallis, but neither side came to an agreement. Though he has no intention of returning to this restaurant, Wallis reminded everyone of the law. "Every service animal out there should be allowed, as is in the federal law, to go anywhere the public has access to go," he said. Wallis has since filed an official complaint against the restaurant, hoping that the law will be enforced, and Panda Super Buffet will change its policy. read more

Worst buffet I have ever been to. Food was cold. 5 out of 7 people in the party were sick later on that night. I thought, well at least they have an ice cream machine. I figured I could get full on ice cream because I couldn't continue to eat the food. BAD IDEA. The ice cream was watery and melted. All seven of us said we would never go back... read more

Super iffy! Dinner buffet is 12.99. The place isn't clean. I was sitting with my fiance eating there tonight and told him eventually are going to get food poisoning. But we keep going back! Because.....when we arnt dressed super nice lol that's where we go. So pick your battles. The foods not that bad tbh. read more

My kids love this place, or should I say, loved. Today we walked out during our meal after my daughter found a piece of steel from a cleaning pad in her broccoli. The lady said she would take it and make them check the broccoli. I threw $20 down and we walked out. This place has never been the epitome of cleanliness, but this was just nasty. We have been at this restaurant for the last time. read more

Panda Super Buffet - Piece of a steel cleaning pad found in broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

They not only have Chinese food, also a mixture of Japanese food, Cajun food such as frog legs, seafood, American food such as pizza, french fries, salad bar, typical Chinese buffet deserts. I've dined here multiple times but probably won't ever go back due to cleanliness issues. Everything was good when they first opened and sort of went downhill from there. If I were you, I would jet right down the road to Sakura's and experience what all Chinese buffets should strive to become. read more

This place has the best sushi I have ever had. The buffet was pretty good to. Come befor 3:00 and it's cheaper as well. read more

Panda Super Buffet - Top sushi 10$ for 20 rolls. - Chinese Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

This was the most disappointing $70 meal ever! The crawfish and crab were not only dirty but spoiled. My family could not find anything suitable to eat. As we began to look around we noticed that the ceiling had black spots and a large spider web with multiple spiders in it. The waitress was so inattentive that we spent 15 minutes waiting for the check! NEVER going back, a free meal wouldn't even be acceptable. read more

Better off at other buffets, some food was not that good and seen better, expensive for dinner spent 38$ for 2 ppl, I might as well went to Golden Corral or somewhere else read more

Decided to drive all the way from Vinton to have a decent food experience...Think again. The hours say they open at 10 am. We got there at 10:20 , went inside,...there was no food on the buffet. How are you going to open with no food out! Then the price for the lunch said $7.95, however when we received our bill it was almost $50 for 3 of us. Here they changed the buffet price to $12.95 because they considered it a seafood buffet. there was crawfish on the buffet after 11:15, but the sign above it said for dinner only..well why would you put a dinner item out at lunch time....so it can sit and spoil! when we left about 12, there still was empty spots on the buffet. Seriously if you can't open and have everything out by 10...you need to change your opening time. Oh and also didn't appreciate seeing a giant cockroach on the floor either!! read more

I'm Sorry this is by far the worst buffet food ever. All food was real cold. Buffet was not even steaming. I posting this because the employee that I tried telling could not understand my English. Maybe someone will translate. So I'm making two trips in one. First an Last !! Oh the pudding was good I'll pay my bill an be gone !! Service was very good. Can't complain about that. Good ice cream not worth the price in general might as well go to Hong Kong read more

Terrible, stress TERRIBLE, customer service! They advertise crawfish on big outdoor sign, then none on buffet. I was told it starts for dinner but no notice of that anywhere. Was told, "everyone knows that", "I've never had complaints before". Laughs at customer asking questions. Carpet floor is dirty and sticky. Light switch plates are all sticky and dirty. I discourage anyone from eating here! read more

Disgusting! Worst place we have ever eaten. We tried multiple options off the food bars. Every single thing was cold, not even a little warm. Just cold and disgusting. Even the fruit bar was nasty. The fruit was drying out. Save yourself the trouble and eat anywhere else. Anywhere at all is better then Panda read more

Crawfish no flavor shrimp over cooked lemon chicken hard and greasy pudding going sour caned fruit looked old fresh had old and new ice cream station filthy tongs on dessert station filthy restrooms filthy no toilet paper and stalls carpet filthy the front door was filthy but the restaurant was busy they have a good hustle going on so I wouldn't change a thing except accept call the health department read more

Would not suggest going here to anybody. Went with my father last night, and he is now sick with food poisoning from eating undercooked food. My food was ice cold and wasn't cooked throughly either. Definitely overpriced too. The waiters also were eager to make us eat and leave quickly. It was not a comfortable environment and the food was also not anything to eat. If you want food poisoning, this is the place to go! read more

If I could give it a negative star I would, this place denied service to a vet because he had a service dog with him. As low as you can get, places like this only exist if we spend our money there. Pathetic. read more

Surprised has gotten such bad reviews previously, must have improved. Good sushi for a buffet, fair amount of choices of dishes available along with a hibatchi grill where you pick which food items & sauce for the cook to grill for you. Large fruit array, which i like for dessert but you will also find fruit tart, cookies, cakes, & ice cream. Good for a quick lunch. Causal atmosphere. Friendly waitstaff. read more

Not sure where these bad reviews are coming from. I'm not a big fan of Chinese buffets but this place made me fan. Unlimited crawfish, boiled crabs, clams, shrimps and a variety of other buffet dishes for only 12.50, it's a steal. The crawfish was good, the crab boil was decent and the shrimp was phenomenal. If you're craving seafood but you're on a budget, definitely check this place out. read more

The food is all good but the plates are hella dirty, I went through 3 or 4 plates every trip just to get a clean looking one. They have crawfish though and bacon wrapped crab meat read more

I have eaten there multiple times and have always enjoyed the food. The seafood is at the top of my list only seasoning stops it. I will continue to go there as long as it's open. Recommend to all. The only issue is the language barrier. Top shelf buffet. read more

Customer service is TERRIBLE!! The female at the front counter is one of the rudest people I've ever encountered as a paying customer and I've never felt so disrespected as a paying customer! We got there during the lunch hours, 3:00 to be exact. They put out crawfish, so my husband got some. They, then, informed us that we would be charged extra. NOWHERE does it say that they're would be an extra charge for seafood. Just a bunch of signs saying "serving Louisiana crawfish". When I attempted to ask the front desk about it, she got an attitude right away. She continued to play on her phone and then WALKED AWAY while I was talking to her. On top of all that, they place is filthy and rundown, and the noodles tasted like cigarette ashes. I will NEVER come here again. Neither will any of my family!! read more

The food was not even hot enough to be called warm. The chicken was hard, dry, and tasted old. The rice was really dry. The sushi was ok though. The coconut shrimp was hard and tasted old. Overall a bad experience read more
