panda buffet

The service was BEYOND just good! We walked in about a half hour before closing and the owner still went out if her way to be sure we had everything we wanted to eat. Even made some stuff fresh just for us, knowing full well no one else was going to come in. Then she gave us to-go boxes to FILL, as full as we could, to take home with, us free of charge. She could have easily been nasty and hateful to get us out of there faster but she didn't. Only gave it a 4 star because some food we saw had been sitting out quite a while and was pretty dried up, but I'm well aware of it was at the end of the day. We will definitely return, hopefully a little earlier in the day. Lol

I'm usually pretty disappointed with chinese buffets. I came here with low expectations and ended up with a pleasant surprise. I'll break it down in the good, bad, and ugly. First the ugly: this place looks like a messy hole in the wall. Place looks a little run down, bathroom doors look awful, messy eaters leave food on the floor and the place has a small crew making it difficult to clean up noodles out of the carpet before serving the next table or annoying other customers. Place is open, but has a horrible flow and feels cramped. Exterior and interior doesn't say "Chinese" either, but you're probably not here for the atmosphere either.. The bad: crab ragoon was on the stingy side. Barely enough crab and cream cheese to call it what it was. Seriously, it was mostly cracker. But the taste is still there so it's a passing grade, just not wonderful marks. Sushi was also mediocre at best. The good: they make fairly good food. The food isn't bland or too soft hearted. The food is packed with flavor. Yeah the choices are small, but allows them to focus on the food they are serving. Braised pork, mushrooms, general Tao chicken, Chow mien, beef and broccoli, were better than most buffet style Chinese restaurants. They actually paid attention to taste vs cranking out the food. It's cheap too. 2 adults, 6yr old, and 1yr old was $22. They also had ice cream. It's a good place to take your kids and not have to worry. Staff was courteous, and tried to keep the food stocked. Next time I'm in Miami, we'll be coming back.
