Never coming back here. They charged our 18 month old because he had a few fries and a couple pieces of fruit. The food wasn't that great either. Small stale selection, but what can you expect for $6.99.

I thought the same as many did when I pulled up..wow alot of people and a great price..$6.99. My mother being vegan i called to see if they served tofu and they confirmed. When we arrived not only did they not have tofu but we asked if they could at least make some and the server said no,too busy. So she didn't have options at all besides vegetables. Also It wasn't appetizing at all it looked disgusting and I tried to pick through what I thought was OK and apparently I made a bad choice because now I have food poisoning. So I do advise not to go here if you are vegan or a meat eater.

One of the best buffets in Orlando. The price is amazing. Has a fun lil hibachi bar where you can pick your stuff and sauce n watch em cook. The sushi is surprisingly really good. Most everything is fresh and yummy. There's 3 rows of dessert, a salad row, a fruit row, and 3 fried n Sauteed rows. Really great selection, something for everyone. Even French fries n chicken wings if you have picky kids :p

I'm originally from Orlando. I happen to be in altamonte springs/longwood and decided to stop with my mom to have dinner. As I walked through the doors the place didn't seem that bad except the owners arguing loudly with a customer. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. The customer is always right and they should have offered a voucher or something if the customer wasn't satisfied. So I try to see past that situation. We are seated and our drinks order taken. I head towards the buffet line to my surprise I find a vast variety of different foods which we some decent looking. The problem I was having was that some of the food was decent but a lot of it was dry and old looking. A buffet should be monitored regularly and timed and old food should be discarded if not sold. Not left to sit there until it's sold. So I served my food and sat down. I grab a napkin from the dispenser and to my surprise again I find a sign in bold letters stating to only serve what I am going to consume or an extra fee will be charged. Seriously?? How can a professional business have a sign like that and even more if the food is flavorless, cold and old. The waitress then proceeds in asking me if I wanted more soda, I said yes. She then asks the table behind me the same question and takes both of our cups together to refill. The worse part is that I didn't know whether she brought me the correct cup back or not and she didn't offer a new straw. I'm not one to bash any restaurant but this was a horrible experience. The food was cold and I was scared to try the seafood.

Decent Chinese buffet, better than some of the others I had tried in the area. The best was the sweet and sour soup and the Korean chicken. I did not try the hibachi but it looked fresh. The sushi was nonexistent though- only a couple pieces of California roll.

Wow this buffet is huge!!! I have driven past it and always wanted to try... So happy I did! Food is great. Several different chicken, beef and pork dishes to try. There is also a fish and seafood buffet table too. Hot and sour soup is the best I have ever had! Salad bar offers wide variety of veggies and dressings. There are French fries and ice cream for the kids! Only $7 for lunch... Great prices! New favorite Chinese buffet!

This place is very rough. The staff isn't very friendly. They all look unhappy to be honest. They had dry, old, food. I wanted to give it a one star, but they gain an extra star for the price. 6.99 isn't bad. You get what you pay for. Even the fortune cookies were depressing!
(2)Jesse V.
It's a no frills buffet with the same kind of food you can get anywhere; but the price is extremely reasonable, the service is friendly and on point, and the place is clean and presentable. I had a pleasant dining experience that I plan to repeat.

If there a place to avoid its this one. It used to be better with the other owner but seems they change it 4 months ago. No quality , not a lot of choice. Definitely will never see me again

Last year I laughed at this place when I would drive by it, just imagining how disgusting it must be at such a low price. Now my husband and I go about once a month, sometimes more since we do live fairly close. I was about to give it 4 stars, but once you factor in the price it just can't be less than 5 in my opinion. Some of their sushi is actually GOOD! And you just can't beat the hibachi for the price. Sure the meat is not the highest quality, but let's be realistic: you're served the same quality (maybe even worse) at most restaurants that aren't upscale, you just don't know it beforehand because you can't see the raw meat sitting there. And once it's cooked it tastes great! I always get it with Mongolian and garlic sauce mixed. As far as the Chinese food buffet part, admittedly I mostly stick to the back with the hibachi and sushi, but everything I have tried up front tastes the same if not better than your standard buffet fare at other Chinese buffets who charge twice as much for dinner. I skimmed the reviews and someone said some food was warm. Well, yeah, it's a flippin' buffet, what do you expect? I have never been to a Chinese buffet where everything was piping hot. I truly feel like it just never happens. You'd have to go somewhere that does NOT have an all day buffet to hope for that miracle. Bottom line: If you are really hungry and you want a lot of simple (but tasty) sushi, or a hibachi dinner without the Kobe prices and sitting next to strangers, then you should go here. It's basically the same price as just getting a lunch special at a Chinese restaurant, except you don't have to try just one thing!

My boyfriend and I were pretty hungry so we decided to stop in here and see if it would be good to put in rotation as a new place for us. I have passed by this place a few rimes and seen the sign and was hoping for something good with a cheap pricetag. The restaurant seemed pretty clean and the staff friendly enough. The place was also pretty empty as we got there before noon. My bf got water and I got hot tea. We went our separate ways and chose what we wanted. There was nothing unique of very special about it as it looked like your traditional Chinese buffet that you could get anywhere, expect the crayfish that I didn't try. I don't know if I was having bad luck or not but both times I got hot food I picked up things that were cold. My bf said everything he got was warm at least. I tried the desserts and they seemed nice. For some reason the ice seemed melted a bit when I scooped it into the bowl. When you get the bill the price on there already includes tax, I thought we were overcharged at first but then did the math and it came out okay. Did not try the hibachi or sushi but I think that may increase you bill if you do because I read a pricing guide at the cash register. Top marks for me: Salad lettuce, marinated cucumbers at salad station, mango cake, string beans. Low marks: Hot tea was lipton (I like green tea if I am at a Chinese place), cold spare ribs and other foods that should be hot. Side thought: Because there were not a lot of people yet they may have not been changing out the pans as fast so stuff may be hotter with more people around. I may try them again to see if there is a difference in experience or may stick to my Indian buffet that costs more and is smaller but I know everything is hot.

The search is over! This is my new favorite Chinese buffet! The flavors are on point, and the price is right. $6.99! Are you out of your mind? That's half of what other buffets charge on a Sunday. There's so many things to try, many of which are fantastic (avoid the fried butterfly shrimp though, it's awful). The fried donuts and almond cookies are some of the best I've ever tasted. I can easily see this being our new spot after church on Sundays.

With a crowded parking lot and a $7 price on the marquee, Panda Hibachi finally drew me in last night after driving by it numerous times in the past year. After immediately being seated, we got to work on the seven buffet tables and hibachi/sushi setup. I was really disappointed with the General and sesame chicken (which was hard, dried out, and mostly fried breading with sauce) and the sushi was flavorless. Meat/veggie/sauce entrees - like pepper steak, Mongolian chicken, etc. - were easily the best things on the buffet. One of the odd things I noticed was that there was a table with nothing but seafood on it and no one was touching it; I decided to steer clear as well. Same with the hibachi grill. The servers were extremely friendly and kept our glasses filled all night. For $7, I can't say I was really upset about my experience but for the same price, I think I'll just swing by my regular take-out joint next time.

Having driven past this location many times, I finally gave in and went inside to try it out. I was indecisive about going here or hitting Chipotle.. did I ever make a mistake. When I noticed there were lots of cars in the parking lot, the good thought that ran through my head was that the food must be serving a quite a bit and therefore not laying out for too long. The selections are basically the same if you've ever walked into another chinese buffet place: lots of fried foods, lots of sauced up meals, etc. I tasted the two types of fried shrimp they had: one was panko coated and the other a tempura coated. Neither were anything interesting. Actually the tempura coated ones barely had any taste to them at all. One of the dishes served is a topped-in-mozzerella krabmeat with onions and peppers thing which was ok, again not much flavor. Their shrimp cocktail was over a nice mountain of glistening ice chips but no one (...and I mean no one!) was touching it so I stayed far from it even though they looked fresh. The pepper steak was bland though the onions and peppers were crisp and fresh, the fried calamari pieces was okay but a bit chewy like it becomes when not cooked right. I twice spit the food into a napkin: when I bit into a rolled sushi piece and when I bit into the veggie eggroll. The other bigger eggroll which I believe was pork was tastier but just by a bit. There were some dishes I didn't want to partake of. I was curious of the hibachi which is in the rear end of the place, the meats and veggies seemed to be fresh but again, I don't know. Do these places all order the foods from the same location? Or make them out of a common cook book? Right now I'm here trying to get this odd flimy flavor out of my mouth from eating there, it's there even after I washed my mouth out. I went in once to cure the curiosity but shall never be returning again. Oh. one last nitpick.. so I had gotten up and come back to find a napkin which had previously been on the floor and a cookie wrapper on the edge of the table I was dining at. Someone had picked stuff up and placed it there without caring that someone was still eating at the table. Uck.
