    This place is amazing! I can't believe they're not packed but people have been coming in for orders they called in. Really good food and super friendly staff. Thanks guys; I'll definitely be back! :) Edit: I can't figure out how to respond to the compliment/question someone added so will respond here. This was my first visit so I don't have a favorite yet. There weren't a ton of options in the buffet when you compare to other places but the food quality rocked. However, I asked if they had rice noodles and they made some so, yes, plenty of options even though it may not appear so on first glance. I haven't seen the menu but you can order from that or do take-out too.

    Egg drop soup, chicken fried rice and crab ragoons! Yum!

    Very very good. They haven't had the buffet since Covid. The portions are enormous. Enough for 2 meals.

This is a little bit hard to find this location it is in a strip mall to the right of the family fare grocery store. It is hidden with not a lot of signage but it is there in the strip mall to the right. I would say that the only downfall of this place was that it did not take American Express. If you want to be a restaurant you should take American Express. We had the pork dumplings and two eggrolls which they say are homemade. They were both very good and then the chicken special which was really just sweet-and-sour chicken but a very generous portion of it with some extra veggies. My girlfriend had some Thai chicken noodles that she said were not very flavorful. Perhaps they weren't Thai spice but rather were moo goo gai pan. Nonetheless it came with a boatload of rice and my family chicken was enough to feed two people easily.

    I grew up eating here with my family because it was always the closest Chinese restaurant to our…read morehome. I recently moved back to Sparta and was excited to come back, but unfortunately the food just isn't what I remember. The staff have always been incredibly kind and welcoming, customer service has never been the issue, and that's still true today. Everyone has always been friendly, which is one of the reasons we kept coming back over the years. Unfortunately, the food quality the last two times I've been has been really disappointing and doesn't compare to how it used to be. I spent around $40 on this visit, and both meals were lacking sauce. The chicken was somehow both dry and fatty, and the rice was overcooked and slightly mushy. I ordered a combination platter and asked to substitute fried rice, which they've done for my family many times in the past. Instead, I received a regular entrée, so I didn't get the egg roll that comes with the combination platter. I also ordered a small egg drop soup but was given a large container, and the soup itself was so thick that neither of us could enjoy it. I'm honestly disappointed because I remember this place being much better. I don't mind paying $40 for a good meal, but this wasn't one. Unless you're a local who doesn't want to make the 20-minute drive down Alpine, I'd recommend making the drive instead. Even Empire Buffet has been more consistent in my experience. I hate leaving reviews like this because I've always had positive interactions with the staff, but the food quality just isn't comparable to what it was years ago. I hope they can get back to the level they used to be because I'd love to become a regular customer again.

    This is definitely a hidden gem of a restaurant. My husband, my son and I sat down to a table that…read morehad fancy little silverware holders, with a precisely-folded napkin and silverware inside. The ambiance is pretty typical of any Thai restaurant. Tastefully decorated, not cluttered or tacky at all. The menu was a bit lengthy, but it was nicely laid out and easy to read. The prices are pretty comparable with other Thai restaurants. Our waiter, I believe, was also the owner of the restaurant, a very pleasant gentleman. He was knowledgable about the menu and offered a spice range of 1 (no spice) to 10 (extremely spicy), and anywhere in between. My son ordered the Drunk Mama dish, my husband ordered the Mongolian dish, and after asking if there was soy in it (and mentioning I had a soy allergy), I ordered the Vegetable dish. The waiter assured me they could make it without soy. It was literally only a few minutes when the dishes started coming to the table, piping hot. I had only taken about 2 bites when the waiter came over to the table, took one look at my dish and said, "Oh, let me remake that for you. I can tell this has soy in it." He whisked it away immediately. A few minutes later, I was given a newly prepared dish, without soy, and was told there would be no charge for dinner. I also received many apologies for the mixup. This is one place that genuinely cares about their customers. My vegetable dish was full of tasty, very fresh vegetables, cooked to perfection. All 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The spice levels were perfect, the presentation was nice, and the taste was outstanding. We love Thai food and have tried a lot of them, but this one is now at the top of our list. We live on the south end of Grand Rapids, but we will definitely be back! I'm looking forward to trying many of the other dishes listed on the menu. I highly recommend you try Jasmine Thai too.

The tofu wasn't fired very well and some pieces were hard, most of it was overly chewy. Had to ask for water refilled and when he did it had no ice and was warm.

I had ordered through Door Dash and for some reason they didn't grab any utensils or napkins. Luckily the hotel I'm at had some. Ordered the Bangkok Chicken as no one had any reviews on it and the curiosity in me wanted to try something new. So I got that to pair with my Fried Rice which is what everyone said to get and i'm glad I did. The Bangkok Chicken is a lightly battered chicken covered in the sauce of your choice. It also included mushrooms which they were able to remove because i'm not big on them. Portion was also big enough to split between 2 people. If i'm ever in the Cedar Springs area again, i'll most definitely order with them again.

    Cedar Springs' Reliable Takeout Classic; Panda Chinese Restaurant at 14111 White Creek Ave NE in…read moreCedar Springs delivers the kind of straightforward, satisfying American-Chinese meal that keeps people coming back. The sweet-and-sour chicken combination plate is a strong example of what they do well: a generous portion of battered chicken, fried rice, and a well-made egg roll, all packaged for takeout and ready to eat. The chicken arrives in large, irregular hunks with a crisp golden coating. The pieces were so substantial that I reached for kitchen shears and snipped each one into bite-size portions before I even sat down. No knife required. I call that a mixture of brilliance and laziness--the portions are that generous. The sweet-and-sour sauce comes in a small cup that belongs with the plate, not as an afterthought. You can dip each bite or pour it over the entire serving at once. I am a heavy-sauce person, and the amount they include always meets that need without leaving the chicken dry or the meal unfinished. The fried rice that comes with the combo is properly wok-seasoned, with visible bits of chicken, green onion, onion, and bean sprouts. It has enough flavor and texture to stand on its own rather than tasting like an afterthought. The egg roll is a standout: hot, crunchy wrapper and a filling that actually tastes like vegetables instead of just filler. This is the kind of no-frills local spot many people look for when they want familiar Chinese-American flavors without a long drive into Grand Rapids. Portions are large enough for leftovers, the food travels well, and the combo is an easy one-stop order. If you live in or pass through Cedar Springs and you're in the mood for classic sweet-and-sour chicken, fried rice, and a solid egg roll, Panda is worth the stop.

    Good food at a good price. They really give you a lot. It is very fast and i easy here often.read more
