Order was wrong said I did not order this when I was on the add more and food tasted spoiled when I got home

Food was depleted. No sushi put out..2 pieces. I'm sure it will take a little while to get back on track. I will go back in a month to try again. I have always loved this place. read more

Food was excellent, delivery was fairly quick for the service. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

There's only three of us in our family, so we have a nice little holiday tradition where we always order takeout on holidays, so no-one has to cook. First of all, loved that Giant Panda was open, that was fantastic! So, we ordered online for butter shrimp, shrimp lo-mein, sweet and sour and a bunch of cream cheese wontons. I was a little nervous after ordering because I didn't get a confirmation, but when I went along the food was ready as promised. The staff was friendly and the entry was clean, even better, the food was great! I don't think there are many places you can get butter shrimp anymore, and Giant Pandas is the best! Also, loved the cream cheese wontons, stuffed with cream cheese, not just a tiny amount. All great, and Giant Panda is definitely a contender for Christmas dinner in our household! read more

Higher or highest price in town for Chinese buffet but lowest quality and quantity. Sushi only had two rolls and types. 1 with crab and 1 veg. and were cheap quality All shrimp items not deveined/still had the poop! General tzo tastes like BBQ Fish was Swai which is a cheap fish Some buffet lines shut down or mostly empty/not set for food. We tried as never been...never again! read more

Giant Panda Chinese Restaurant - Spider wen - Chinese Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Giant Panda has recently become one of our go to Chinese buffets in the Fargo-Moorhead area. They have made improvements in their flavor and quality since I first moved here many years ago. The Giant Panda trys to welcome you with a smile and a fairly clean restaurant. The wait staff seems to be enjoying their job and are helpful and smiling. They do a good job of keeping the buffet stocked, clean and looking fresh. The buffet quality is better then most buffets in town. The selection is fairly large and it is usually fresh and hot even during the slower periods although there have been slow times when the food has cooled some but was still warm. The Hot and Sour soup is delicious. I enjoy the fried rice, despite it somewhat mushy texture, and rice noodles mixed with vegetables. The beef and broccoli is a solid choice with decent flavor, the gravy however could use a little thickening. By no means am I saying the Giant Panda is a great Chinese Restaurant. I am only comparing it to other Midwestern Chinese Buffets not to sit down, order off the menu restaurants. The price is fairly standard for a buffet in the Fargo-Moorhead area. 17 dollars for dinner and weekends. 15 dollars for lunch. The cost includes unlimited sodas which is nice. read more

It is a Chinese buffet, but it's certainly the best Chinese buffet in town. It's the only Chinese in town I've found that actually has some flavor and doesn't just taste like cooking oil. They have a great selection on the buffet and it is always clean. This is the only Chinese food that I'll eat in the FM area. read more

The place offers a variety of food. I wouldn't recommend the Japanese section, because the rice in sushi tasted really odd. However, in the other side, the food was amazing. The fish was my favorite. Cleanliness: The table was fairly sticky & dirty. Have student discount. I'd recommend this place. read more

Giant Panda Chinese Restaurant - Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

If you like this type of Chinese food great. It's not the best or the worst, kind of in the middle. Lots of options of course as you would expect at a all you can eat place. So if your looking for a quick meal & your craving a buffet style environment then this should would work for you. Pricing is not bad too. Enjoy! read more

Service was also good. Kept dirty dishes cleared. Staff very friendly . Food choices kept full.

We ordered from Giant Panda on 7/5/2024, the food was disgusting. The Beef with Vegetables, the beef was rubbery. We also ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken and got 5 small pieces of Chicken. Cost for this was $67, not ordered from Giant Panda again! read more

Quick, cheap and open on a Sunday evening. I sampled most everything on the buffet, the General Tso's chicken and cream cheese wontons were the highlights. Was super happy to stumble across this place while driving through an otherwise lackluster town. I'm glad I ignored Fargo's pathetic attempt at Yelp reviews, you negative-reviewers should all be ashamed of yourselves. read more

I enjoyed the variety and quality of the buffet. They had 4 lines with one focused on salad type options, one with soups/egg rolls/dumplings/won tons/etc and the other two with many entree options. In addition there were some dessert options along the beverage line. I didn't pay much attention but I believe we paid about $12 each???? While the restaurant looks tired and dated with the (90's?) decor and worn carpeting, the place seemed very clean and the food area was immaculate. The staff was attentive and friendly. I would definitely go back again. read more

Wonderful service and food! Very cozy ambiance. Felt taken care of and left very full!!! :-)

Food was cold for most items. The rice was mushy, chicken and beef were rubbery. The food was what you would expect from a $6 buffet, not $17. Will never go back and amazed they are still open; no idea who would return after an initial visit. I thought we would try the place again to see if it has changed since coming approximately 15 years ago; looks like the reason we never came back has not changed. read more

We saw crows feeding on a huge pile of garbage in the Giant Panda parking lot and just kept going without eating there. There is no excuse for this..... read more

Giant Panda Chinese Restaurant - Parking lot of Giant Panda. Yuk! - Chinese Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Fresh and fast delivery. Very friendly staff and buffet is also great. Highly recommended

I tried it today after they switched owners, loved going there prior before it switched owners. I went at 1pm with hopes since it was around the lunch hour the food would be fresh. Nothing and repeat nothing was fresh, everything tasted old as if it was put back on the buffet for days on end. Even the cream cheese wontons were old, the cream cheese was sour tasting and looked iffy. I was so disappointed, almost $17 bucks for a stomach ache. I took maybe five bites and couldn't eat anymore, it was that bad. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't go here. $32 for two people.. I also tipped so I spent $42 to have half a plate of cold food. Terrible absolutely terrible nothing was coming out and everything was picked over... but we were the only ones in there with one other guy. Also I don't eat meat and there was "veggie spring rolls" yeah I took a bite and there was chicken in it. The manager just apologized and said nothing else. What an awful place. I can't believe I wasted my money here. Do better. If I could give zero stars and close this place down, I would. read more

I am absolutely baffled that this restaurant is rated so low the food was amazing and the staff was incredible we went at night time and before leaving they gave us to go boxes and gave us the food left. I will always remember the generosity that this place offered and I will 100% be coming back. FYI the place was very clean and warming. read more

We had went to this place many time before throughout the years and the food was always good but had read somewhere else they changed owners, the food is not all that great anymore we thought. The waiters were on top of filling everyone's drinks and taking plates. The tables are sticky, which the waiter explained as we sat down, she assured us the table was clean but sticky, someone had to use the wrong cleaner on them. read more

RUN AWAY!!! This was such a waste of money! The service was nice and the store was pretty clean, but I wish I could see the state of the kitchen. I came for the crab legs. I cracked one open, and there was no meat in it! I cracked another one open, and again, NO MEAT. My husband and I sat cracking away at a pile of crab legs and all we found was a little bit sandy fishy flesh in the body, and some disturbingly green meat in the claws. Super disappointing, but at least there's plenty of other good stuff...right? Wrong. Nothing tasted right. The cream cheese wontons were edible. Nice selection of soups but they all tasted like greasy water. The rice was cooked improperly. Even the coffee tasted like it had been sat in the basement for a couple days. I wanted to like this place and end my search for the best local Chinese buffet, but the search continues. I tried everything, to give it a fair chance, and ended up in the restroom throwing up. I feel bad writing this, but please save yourself from a terrible experience. Money and food wasted. I will not be giving this restaurant a second chance. read more

Last weekend we ordered 3 plates of the sweet and sour chicken for take out and my father crunched down on a thick and sharp piece of plastic. Picture attached. The restaurant offered to refund his meal, but not the rest. Why would we continue eating the food? What other plastic is lurking in there?! Took a little back and forth to get them to refund the entire total price which was wrong. If he would have swallowed this he would have been in the ER. Unsanitary and dangerous! We were loyal customers, but won't be anymore. read more

Oh my was this Chinese ever good. I've eaten at quite a few Chinese restaurants around the country and I have to say I'd put the flavor of Giant Panda above about 95% of the others. To be honest I don't recall any other being any better. If you like Chinese you really gotta try Giant Panda. read more

The food selection was good as well as tasty. The remodeling supported a friendly buffet environment. Would recommend when with indecisive menu friends... plenty of choices. read more

Along with updating their decor they also updated the menu. My favorite dishes are gone, there is no beef on the buffet and the sushi is disgusting. Very disappointed read more

I used to love ordering from here. Very good food but I'm going to have to stop now being their prices have gotten so high and then when I ordered my wontons and egg rolls they are half the size. You should not be paying more for way less food. read more

I am from out of town and often order Chinese delivery from my hotel. Delivery took a little while, but was very hot and very fresh when it arrived. Great flavors! Would've given five stars if it were not for the very small Scallops. This is definitely above average. I would give it 4 1/4 stars if I could. read more

First time eating here and will be my last. We received an entree we never ordered and was not charged for. Received another entree we didn't order but was billed for. Let's talk about quality of food. YUCK! The egg foo young was cooked in a deep fat fryer, it was greasy, bland and looked like everything that previously was left in the oil was attached to it. The so called fried rice was sticky rice with some sort of sauce put on it. The wontons in the soup were still doughy. It was like eating uncooked pie crust. The best thing was the chicken on a stick. If I could rate it with no stars I would read more

Love this place. Will deliver rain or shine... Perfect portions. We always got plate 4 with white rice instead of fried rice and cream cheese wontons.... Every Sunday until we moved. I miss it! Recommended :) read more

I've eaten a lot of standard Chinese restaurant food in cities where I lived including Chicago and Minneapolis, and I can say I am almost always disappointed by the quality of food at nearly every restaurant. HOWEVER, Giant Panda is this weird anomaly of PERFECTLY cooked made-to-order Chinese every time I have eaten there... And this is in Fargo, North Dakota. Being a vegetarian, I don't eat the buffet, which I think is unfair to expect to be perfect like other reviews have complained about. It's a buffet: the food will not be straight from the kitchen and therefore NOT perfectly textured and temperature controlled, which is why Michelin Star restaurants aren't buffets. But if you order made-to-order, I don't think you'll be disappointed. The flavors are spot on, especially for run-of-the-mill dishes. Don't expect strong heat or uniquely elevated spices, as this is Fargo after all, and the main customer base wouldn't respond to that. Add some Sriracha, and you'll be set. But if you want perfectly cooked vegetables (and meats? I've only ordered tofu) with wonderfully savory sauces, Giant Panda is the way to go! The price point on the food is good, with good portions. Definitely worth the money. read more

Oh, Giant Panda, how I love to eat your delicious, greasy food when I am hungover. My friends and I used to frequent this place Sunday afternoons after late nights of some serious binge drinking the evening before. We were the loud, obnoxious group who always tried to avoid sitting near families so they wouldn't have to be subjected to our potty mouths. Is this the best Chinese in town? Arguably not, but it's better than most other buffets in town and is reasonably priced. Highlights for me include the greasy lo mein noodles, the butter shrimp (which can be hard to find at buffets and is one of my favorite things ever), the cream cheese wontons, General Tso's chicken, the mushrooms, and the peppered chicken. The food is consistent and predictable, which is a plus when your head is throbbing and you just want to stuff your face with greasy Chinese. read more

Super disappointing food the Fried rice is half white half fried because it's not mixed well. they're cream cheese wontons are under cooked and the cream cheese pours out of them their sweet-and-sour sauce taste like nothing but straight water down ketchup very disappointed in the new owners read more

Success! Another great Chinese place in Fargo! It's taken a long time to find one, but I think this is our favorite one now. We took advantage of their delivery (even to Moorhead), so we can't comment on what the place looks and feels like on the inside; but the food was great!! We ordered egg rolls, mushroom fried rice, Szechuan chicken, and their House chicken. While the egg rolls were a bit more peppery than we usually like, they tasted freshly made and and not warmed up from a microwave (like many of the egg rolls at other more popular Chinese places seems to serve). The fried rice was equally good too. One difference in theirs from others we've had was to include peas and carrots into the mix. Not bad, but different. The rice itself and mushrooms were super good. Both chicken dishes were totally satisfying. The Szechuan was appropriately spicy (hot, but not so much that you can't enjoy it) and the House chicken was prepared perfectly too. This we found out was basically their sweet and sour chicken; but the difference is that the sweet and sour chicken has the s and s sauce on the side, while the House chicken has it on top. Both dishes had a variety of veggies as well and they were tasty. It was, of course, served with a box of white rice too. The best part . . . despite being delivered all the way to Moorhead, it was still hot! Kudos to the delivery driver on that one! I do think I can say that Giant Panda will be our Chinese go-to from now on. read more

I ate t 1245p today. Warming tables were barely lukewarm. Very limited selection and they all tasted the same (seriously)!! I should have gotten the hint because there were only two cars (besides mine) in the parking lot. I would recommend the Panda Express or the "super buffet" or pick a different venue because you would not be satisfied here. read more

Chinese Buffet in Fargo, North Dakota is pretty good. This is a picture of black peppered chicken, chicken fried rice, egg roll, bread stick, and a cup of coffee w/ sugar. Price is decent and the desserts are wonderful as well. Vanilla ice cream with strawberry topping is great as well!! Would recomend. read more

Some food already is cold n tastes old and they just opened an hour ago but some is just right..like the spring rolls..decent place to eat but they could be a bit better at keeping food fresh read more
