I went for the first time and the interior was really nice and clean. The sushi was good too but didn't have much sashimi or they didn't have it out, I don't know. The food was good, nothing over the top delicious. The lady at the front desk was just staring blankly when we came in and when we went out. I could use a hello or goodbye lol. Our waiter was kind of bitchy, keep staring. He's name was Rich or Rick? Something with an R. What I didn't like was.. the employees were having their lunch, which is fine. But when I was waiting for the hibachi, our waiter was TOUCHING the burgers on the buffet plate and then took a brand new one he didn't touch. Why would you do that?! Why would you touch them if you're not going to eat them? So dirty!!

Passed this restaurant for years and tried it for the first time today. Pleasantly surprised with the quality of food & service. Hibachi section was a little lacking in selections...didn't have my bean sprouts:(( . Not a sushi fan but the items looked fresh and the other customers were enjoying the food. We will definitely be back for another round :-) :-)

I decided to try out this buffet on the spur of the moment. The website showed the highest prices on Friday and Saturday nights so I figured 6:30pm on a Friday should be about as good as it gets. If that is the case, then there is nothing here worth making a special trip. The sushi and sashimi was good, but most of the rest was average at best. The steamed snow crab legs looked good, both of them. There was never enough for the relatively few number of customers so I didn't try them. One surprise, especially for a buffet like this, was the London broil. It was tender and had a great grilled flavor. The steamed dumplings and sticky rice were great too.

I starved myself all day in preparation for going to battle at the Panasian Buffet. First tip of buffet warfare: Scout your enemies. My stomach growled and my eyes lit up. I was super impressed with the huge variety and the fact that the food was presented so nicely at the buffet tables. There were stuffed crabs, stuffed clams, octopus which I found super interesting, crab meat, crab legs, ribs, pork, fish, dumplings, rice, noodles, soups, salads, hibachi... the list goes on and on. They even had the largest sushi selection I've seen and I normally don't go anywhere near the sushi at a buffet but it looked so enticing that I just had to try it. It was ALL delicious. Whatever was supposed to be hot was hot, whatever was supposed to be fresh was fresh. The food I had could have very easily been served to me by a waiter and I would not have known this was "buffet food". This does not mean I don't know good food... it just means I know when something is better than I would have ever expected it to be. Service was on par. The plates that were used were promptly removed from our table, refills were immediately offered and I saw someone bringing out food all the time. I was really surprised that they served such nice food at a buffet place for such a great price and it is definitely a place I will continue to visit at lunch or dinner. Additional tips to come out victorious in any chinese buffets: 1) Devour as much seafood as you can. 2) Stay away from fillers such as noodles and rice 3) Order tea or water instead of soda! 4) Chi he wan! It's chinese for eat for fun! It's a buffet, not a fine dining restaurant!

Amazingly fresh and delicious for the price! I was hesitant to come here be from the outside it seemed ghetto but it's actually really good. The sushi is super fresh and they have roast pork, pigs feet, rosy duck and a variety of skewers among the usual Chinese buffet items. $13.99 for dinner on a Sunday? Can't beat that!
(5)Karen L.
Very decent for the price! I found this place through YELP review and Im so happy I came here. Between hibachi, roasted duck, lobster, clams, steak and sushi among others this place was exactly my liking. The sushi was a little questionable but still decent. The waitress went out of her way to show me the freshly served lobster and scooped almost a whole plate for me. Thats very generous!! For 12.99/person wednesday night, I say this would be a local and to go spot for food everyone can enjoy! The location has a small parking lot but located in a nice seating area. In the area? Definitely try it out! ***Address is incorrect! 781 Adams Ave****

I been to a lot of Chinese buffets this one I have mixed feelings about. yes they are crabs legs which they bring out every 30 mins but only enough to feed 4 people. my daughter really wanted some waited 1 hr half but could not compete with the running and grabbing over a few legs. nice sushi bar. habachi looks limited but the men who are cooking food never acknowledge you . not many selections seen way better
(2)Danny L.
Honestly wasn't expecting much when I arrived at Panasian Buffet this afternoon. It was my third choice within 20 feet. Decided against Pho because I didn't feel like it and already had Cafe Saigon banhmi twice this week already. Browsing Panasian Buffet's yelp page showed much props for the sushi section and for $7.99 lunch special, its honestly worth the risk. Boy were they right. The quality of fish and extensive selection of rolls came as a surprise. Honestly one of their largest sections. The rolls were well made and comparable to sushi joints in the northeast and much better than typical Chinese buffet's half ass attempt at including Japanese fare. Downsides are really the parking, really small lot that gets packed quickly and only small selection of Chinese food of average quality as well as a weak HVAC system, really froze my ass off today while eating. Maybe they want you to leave quicker? Bottom line, for basically the price of one roll at a Japanese place you can have a full selection already made.

I went on New Years Eve and had a blast. The food, beverages and desserts was good. I would come and enjoy again.
(5)Wendy Z.
Many people said great things about this buffet so my expectation were really high, however I see no difference from this buffet to any other ones. The food was average, maybe if you like crab legs and sushi you might enjoy this buffet. But it takes half an hour for the crab legs to be out again. It's sad that ice cream was the only good thing at this buffet.
(3)Jah F.
Ive been at buffets all across the country, and this is by far the best in terms of food offerings. From Chinese style seafood to american meat dishes, they are better than many of the larger chain buffets hands down.
(5)Sophia L.
So far I've only been here for lunch, but this place is A-OK with me! Can't wait to try out dinner. The only knock on this place, along with pretty much every Chinese Run Buffet, is their service. Horrible service. The only Chinese Run Buffet that had great and friendly service was Tokyo Sushi Hibachi in Bensalem, which is now closed. If Panasian could hire the servers that had worked there, then this place would do so much better business wise, and the servers would make so much more tipwise. Throughout the entire meal our server was cold, never responded to our thank you's when she cleared our plates, never offered to refill our drinks, but OF COURSE when we left a $10 tip, compared to the $1-$3 tips per table they are used to getting, then all of a sudden she speaks English and says, "Thank You Very Much!" Seriously...... Thank God the food is worth coming here for.. They have really good kabobs, decent Pho, really good hot foods, General Tso's is better than most places, their Chicken Teryaki is terrific, they have a great selection of rolls, and their nigiri is passable, Rice Wraps, and even chicken and pig feet! The restaurant is also very clean, and has a nice decor considering it's a Chinese Buffet. Will come again often. Hopefully, they'll remember us and give better service next time.
(4)Pete W.
Two things: 1) it's BYOB and 2) it's all about the sushi (and sashimi!!).
(4)Thai N.
Love it here. Food was good. Nice and clean. Came on Sunday for lunch wasn't to crowded huge benefit when I live a few blocks away. The price was ok since on Sunday they have all day dinner. It's your typical asian buffet. The food wasn't salty like others I experience.
(5)Maite S.
I think this place is pretty decent. Close by, reasonable price for all you can eat. Way better than Old Country Buffet. I mainly go here for the sushi and sashimi. The only downside are that they charge you for dessert and the parking lot available is horrible.
(4)Brian P.
It is what it is. Came on a random weekday and also late for lunch. Selection and service was good. Sushi and sashimi are worth the 8$ paid for the lunch special, but nothing more. First time I saw pork and chicken feet offered at a buffet. FYI the soda is 1.25$
(4)Ed B.
I've been to many buffets, but Panasian is hands down my favorite. I love sushi and sashimi. Therefore, dropped a generous tip for the sushi chefs. They made what I requested, with fresh fish. The next trip tried items on the buffet. I was smiling. Everything was tasty and fresh. Trays were always being refilled. My iced tea was a bit weak, but drinkable. Their steamed buns were the best. Presentation was great. I've been here many times, and will be back for more. Remember to tip at the sushi bar. No restaurant gets 5 stars from me. Four stars and you know I really like the place.
(4)Yongquan L.
It's a great buffet I believe, they have many kinds of food, on Saturday night. I think the food varies day to day, so make sure you come at good time. I like their sushi and stone crab, it's fresh and tasty. Other seafood are also great and way much better than other buffet I've tried at this place.
(5)Liz N.
A very good selection of sushi and sashimi....by far is the BEST ever served in a buffet. The neighborhood is not the safest or nicest but to do a quick drive in for dinner would be at your own risk. I sincerely hope that they hire an armed security officer like Serabol Restaurant.
(4)A U.
I am surprised. The interior design is sophisticated for this new-ish buffet. The parking lot has been sketchy for decades. What a difference walking in. I ate for an hour on a Monday evening leaving before 6pm. Not many children around so that meant the buffet was clean and quiet. I enjoyed the sushi and stir fried lobster. The food was not salty at all. I did not suffer later from headaches or dehydration like other buffets. I would come here again!
(4)Dave S.
I understand it was an hour till closing time, so naturally half of the buffet would be devoid of food. I don't mind at all because they're getting ready to leave. But the bill was outrageous. It came out to $85 for four people and a kid. So it was about 17 a person without any seafood being out to eat. I'm sure it's a good place during peak hours and I'll probably change my review if I ever go again. But I doubt I'll go back there for fear of spending that much money for a plate of general tso chicken and rice
(1)Bea C.
Nice surprise for a buffet. Great sushi, sashimi and maki selection, by far one of the best for a buffet I've seen. Neighborhood seems a bit sketchy but the inside is fine. The large food boat display in the middle is really cool. Great for large groups of friends and family.
(4)Heather L.
It's a small buffet. Not much there. The sushi bar is small too, the fish isn't fresh- there are better buffets for sushi. They also load almost every roll with cream cheese and as much as I love cream cheese it is unnecessary.. well I guess it's cheaper for them to stuff it with cream cheese and you get fuller faster.... It just wasn't a place I'd like to go back to. Food was mediocre, edible but ehh... Staff mostly seemed unhappy. Just not worth it in any way.
(1)Nina d.
Delicious and fresh buffet. Sushi was scrumptious and fresh. The atmosphere is very nice for a buffet. Quality food. Was not disappointed for lunch!
(4)Kenneth N.
I greatly enjoy panasia or these reasons. That had lobster claws during dinner, king crab leg , the big dungeon crab, all the norm other stuff. But tasty food I really liked the sesame beef, I liked the grilled bar in the back. Great selection and wonderful value
(5)Patrick L.
the only good part is the sushi and sashimi. i'm surprised that they have octopus sashimi during dinner time. so far other food aren't that impressive. sushi and sshimi is what i'm here for.
(3)JJ L.
Average chinese food, sushi was ok. But it said sushi and SEAFOOD. Where was the seafood? I only saw salmon and crab.... The food was just like any other place. The only difference being the extra variety of sushi. But if I were you, I'd rather spend an extra 10 bucks at an actual sushi buffet.
