I've been to a bunch of buffets, this is definitely my new top fave! The crab legs are always the main reason why I go to buffets, their crab was amazing. Usually the fried crab legs are super dry and hard to get meat out but theirs was perfff. Service was amazing as well! read more

My favor place, food is always fresh, all the staff is very kind and nice service. Even with inflation, prices are still very favorable. At some price, I can only get a bowl of noodles outside, but Golden Panda has many choices. this place is the first choice when i don't know what should I eat. Highly recommend read more

Posted on Oct 14, 2023 Good Chinese buffet for your money. The buffet cost $18.99 on weekends and holidays. Senior gets 10% off. Soda drinks cost another 1.99. You have to pay a lot more for a better variety Chinese buffet in this area. read more

Golden Panda Buffet - The buffet price. - Buffets Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

Clean spacious well lit and everyone was friendly and polite. The waitstaff comes by often to take away plates and clean tables even if no one has sat down between cleanings just to be busy. I came on a Monday and all the food was good this place is well worth the money with lots of actual seafood items not just a couple of items the lunch items impressed upon me a tasty variety I will be trying dinner soon but I'm not complaining at all again well worth the price and everything had flavor was warm and as fresh as you can be at a buffet. It's a good option for the price read more

If it weren't for the fact that Golden Panda Buffet is able to accommodate larger parties, I don't think I would have ever stopped to eat here of my own will. The food offered at this location is very much reflective of the idea "quantity over quality". Golden Panda Buffet offers nearly everything from sushi and sashimi (both of questionable quality; I doubt that the salmon and tuna that they use is even sashimi grade. It may just be uncooked fish, which can be unsafe for consumption) to deep-fried selections to a chocolate fountain. Nearly everything here is covered with a fine layer of oil, and nothing tastes remotely fresh or properly cooked, aside from the vegetables (to be fair, it's hard to mess up vegetables). I have frequented many Chinese buffets in my lifetime, and while I've learned to never expect too much from the food, this is the first buffet I've been to where I seriously doubted the food safety. I had some of the clams, and they tasted extremely strong and fishy, which is a sign that the clam was either dead before they cooked them, or have accumulated high levels of bacteria. Additionally, the beef that was used in the beef and broccoli dish was undercooked in the middle. While it is not an uncommon thing for cooked beef to be served on the rarer side, I would definitely not trust a Chinese buffet to follow the proper cooking/serving procedures for this to be safe to eat. If you happen to find yourself here, use your best judgement in selecting which dishes to partake in. No matter how good their lunch/dinner prices may be, no price is worth the impending diarrhea. read more

Clean surroundings, friendly staff, and a great variety of various Asian foods. The food is also very reasonably priced. I always look forward to returning. read more

I guess this is what they mean by you get what you pay: $16.99 per person. Come here early if you want food. I think they stop bringing out food from the kitchen towards end of 7pm. They close at 9PM. I arrived at 7:50 and there was basically little to no food. It wouldn't be consider as a buffet I would say. But the 3 piece nigiri and fried chicken that I had was the best. Giving 1 star for the service and another for the fried wing & sushi. Some of the food don't taste fresh. Had a corn- it tasted days old and had a rancid smell. I immediately lost my appetite after that. Overall, I would not recommend whatsoever. But the stars go out to the service and sushi & wings. read more

You must get their fried chicken. Hands down my favorite fried chicken from a non-fast food chain. I also love their broccoli salad. It's a bit like the one from souplantation, but I like it better because it doesn't have raisins. Service is good! The owner is always hard at work behind the counter. The servers clean your empty plates really quickly, which I appreciate. Ambiance - it is what you would expect from a buffet restaurant. Lots of natural light from the windows, nothing too crazy. read more

Coming here was a gamble and we kind of knew it wasn't gonna be top notch, but it was even worse. Shouldn't have taken the chance. This buffet has been around for a while in our area and reviews hovered 3.5-4 so I was curious. We were in the area and were getting dinner earlier than usual. The place closes at 9 according to the person we spoke to when we called before arriving. We arrived at 7:15. We paid the counter lady and to our surprise after seating and getting food. The selection was slim and almost empty.the counter lady didn't mention anything about no new food coming out. I asked the worker if more food is coming out she couldn't even reply in English. They stopped serving fresh food already at 7-7:30 even tho they close at 9! The food they did have wasn't that great. Fried chicken was too salty to eat, seafood baked items were bad tasting. Crab cream cheese wontons were sad to even look at how small they were, and the taste was bad. The sushi was unedible as I saw the sushi making lady use a fly swatter to swat at the air over the rolls. If they killed any flys previously with that swatter some bacteria for sure had to be on the rolls after. So overall whoever is rating this place for them to keep even a 3 rating is crazy. They should be a solid 1. They also don't close at 9, we were tricked. They already started cleaning at 8 and pretty much wanted us to leave before 8:20. Avoid this place! There are many other buffets out there worth the money. They are a bait and switch establishment with barely edible food. Just get little caesers or churches chicken across the street over this. read more

This is a totally Classic Americanized Chinese Food super-find (with a handful of authentic regional dishes, but not an abundance of them): and this meal goes right down to the hot Oolong Tea, and the Seriously Fake-Red sweet & sour sauce accompanied by a dollop of shockingly-hot yellow Chinese mustard. But don't get distracted by the great smells, or the cute Panda Bear pictures on the wall. Because dominating one half of the room is a massive Americanized Chinese buffet of stainless steel steam bins and hot-lamp trays, all along the wall, and it is replenished regularly. The biggest problem is the tight seating. Try to sit in the front where there are only nine tables (four-tops). If you are unfortunate enough to get a table next to the buffet-line... yuck! I was there ONCE, and the people in the buffet line were so close to my face that I swear I smelled ass. Granted, the next time I came here I waited an extra 20 minutes to get a table that was NOT stuffed up the butt of some hungry biker waiting for a slice of prime rib. This is a classic buffet, similar to a take-out style menu, or the Chinese style food from a small-town delivery place, or an Old-Fashioned USA Chinese Joint...- (hallmark dishes are often Chop Suey, Chow Mein, big Egg Rolls, Won Ton Soup, Crab Rangoon, {Rumaki (I Wish): (chicken liver, bacon, & water chestnut) on a skewer}, Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Foo Yung with brown gravy, Moo Shu Pork, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. There is also Sushi, Maki Rolls, limited Dim Sum, and a decent variety of Vegetarian dishes. If there is any-one crustation that dominates this buffet, it's shrimp. There is cold Shrimp, Shrimp Sushi, hot steamed Shrimp, stir-fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, shrimp in a sauce, and deep fried shrimp. The other major sea-crawly is crab. Some say that this place only serves Cold Crab Legs. But my experience here was different. They serve Cold Steamed King Crab lags on Saturday and Sunday, and cold steamed Crystal-Crab Legs and Snow-Crab Legs on the weekdays. There is also always a hot stir-fried crab dish, usually simple, with ginger and onion, or sometimes black-bean. And end your meal with some yummy cakes, Vanilla Ice Cream, or those classic Fortune Cookies. read more

My friend took me here for my birthday. The food was all very good. Wonderful variety. The sushi rolls were nice and fresh. They have a chocolate fountain! About half way through our waitress lady brought us the check and fortune cookies. She no longer cleared our plates as we were not even done. She was helping the tables around us. Our plates started to pile up and we got kind of embarrassed when people passed by. I definitely will be back in hopes we don't have the same waitress problem. The man at the front very nice. Hats off to the cooks!!! read more

Their food isn't as good as it used to. Cold, old, doesn't taste as good and quality food as it used too. We used to come here a lot because of cheaper price and quality food, but not anymore. It was a pure disappointment. Don't waste your money here and go somewhere else. read more

In a world where all of the prices are going up, Golden Panda Buffet has kept their prices comfortable. Also, they have a super wide selection of food options. Additionally, they have sushi rolls, which I love! Man, seriously, this buffet really hits the spot.

Yumm food, nice server and clean place. And most importantly you can't find any good price like this in LA area!

3.5 Stars This buffet is reasonably priced and the interior looks nice. Reasonably priced. A lot of seafood selection. They have their own private dining area for events. You can also order party trays from them. In addition you can also to go orders and you get charged by the pound. Some of the food selection that they have are the following: *Chicken Fried Rice *Lo Mein *Orange Chicken *Kung Pao Chicken *Chicken Mushroom *Black Pepper Chicken *Sushi selection *Fried Fish *Steamed Shrimp *Baked Mussels - I like this one! *Baked Salmon *Crab Legs *Desserts like Tiramisu, Chocolate Fondue Fountain, Jello, etc. Customer service is good. It is always packed here on the weekends! read more

Very bad experience and not suggested. The food qualities are not fresh at all. Had stomach ached afterward.

I went Sunday lunch time, you don't get many choices of food, but is enough for me, especially for the price. Seafood: you got cold cooked mussels, shrimp. Hot dish like crawfish, salmon, steamed fish, fried crab. No oyster, that's a plus if it's available in the future. Service are fine, they take my empty plates in time. Ambiance is okay, I wish they have more of modern like decor. read more

I was very impressed at this buffet. Great quality, good price, friendly service, clean restaurant, and decent variety. Normally buffet quality goes down due to number of variety of food but this buffet has a good amount of food and definitely great quality. I really enjoyed eating their: Chicken mushroom Fried rice Glass noodle dish Pork chop Steamed fish Roast chicken Broccoli salad Fried shrimp Shrimp and veggies Banana pudding Fried sesame balls Vanilla ice cream Highly recommended. Definitely better than your typical Chinese buffets. read more

Great price but needs more selection. The food was average but I did notice the siracha being watered down. Possibly they did this to stretch its usage or to save money. I would have wanted to see more pizza and American food selection. read more

Always a reliable option. When you want an eclectic mix of Asian inspired foods fruit desserts sushi this place is a great bargain.

This is my first time here. I came for lunch while they were serving dinner here. I had been seeing a lots of good reviews on here which really want me to try. I have never try any buffet in Baldwin Park! There are food that is good and some food that I don't really like that much. The calm chowder soup taste like Mac and cheese and very watery! The sushi was okay. I did enjoy the cantaloupe, watermelon, a few strawberries, the garlic toast bread, the shrimp, and the vanilla ice cream I have picture which I enjoy! The service was okay. I really enjoy the music they play in the background. read more

Becareful with Golden Panda Buffet. My girlfriend and I visited this place around 7pm today. We paid, sat, and ate one course. Went for seconds and we had seen this.

Yelp 100 Challenge 2019 - # 12/100 Please people, don't expect 5 star sushi from a buffet that charges around $5 for lunch and $10 for dinner. These are my top five choices: 1. Potstickers or dumpling, Mandu in Korean. So tasty 2. Singaporean noodles. Only during lunch on weekdays. This is a meal in itself. If you're allergic to shrimp, walk in by 3. Fried sole fish steaks - yummy 4. Salt and pepper shrimp - I love that they don't overcook the shrimp 5. Sautéed green beans - so good although kinda oily. They got flan, soft serve ice cream, cakes, cookies, etc. and fresh fruits for dessert. Be on the lookout for golden kiwi. Those are quite a treat. Restrooms are clean, service can be a hit or miss. But for what it's worth the choices mentioned above are actually pretty darn good. read more

I enjoy eating at buffets so when I got a Yelp notification for a New Hot Business for a buffet, I bookmarked it! The place is decent based on the price and food selection. ~Lunch (Mon-Fri / 10:30am-3:30pm) = $7.99 ~Dinner (Mon-Fri / 3:30pm-9:00pm) = $10.99 ~Friday (3:30pm-9:30pm) and All Day Sat & Sun (10:30am-9:30pm) = $11.99 ::Food:: All the food I tried, I liked. The Sesame Ball, Clams, Green Beans, Fried Rice, Honey Chicken, Orange Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, and Chicken & Mushroom. There were so many more thst I will try when I come back. ::Desserts:: I was so full, I couldn't try all the desserts. The flan was bland and the Banana Pie was not bad. They also had Mango Cake, Chocolate Cake, Cream Puff, Jello, and Cookies, etc. ::Highlight:: The chocolate fountain!! It was fun to dip and eat the strawberries. I liked the Plantains a lot too. :: Customer Service:: Not bad but could be more friendly and attentive. ::M's Notes:: -Inside seating -Parking lot read more

Do not recommend it unless you want to get sick. Visited this place today and was beyond disgusted. I would give this place NO stars. The food personally was nasty. I served myself one plate and didn't even finish it. While sitting there, I watched the food prep team bring out food. A man was tossing the salad with no gloves on, touching the fridge doors, cutting strawberries, and grabbing everything with no gloves. Used the same towel to wipe hands between chopping up fruit and putting his full hands in the mandarín can to pour on top of salad. I was beyond disgusted, I threw up outside. Very unsanitary conditions at this place. So lucky my phone was dead, or I would've video taped him. read more

The food was not good and the price for the food was not worth it. Could find better places near by that's better for a better price. Did not feel good after and felt even worse while eating the food. Horrible! Would never go again! I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Food made my stomach and head hurt, most of the food tasted not edible. The worst experience I ever had and there was a fly bombarding my food while eating. There were orange spots on my fried chicken and I don't know how it got there. The desert looked like they did not care about their place or their people. read more

I have been here plenty of times before, but my most recent visit was last week. To start off the prices have gone up, like anywhere else, 18.95 a piece for an adult. For the most part the place is clean, but the bathrooms have become a mural of taggings thanks to all the idiots that feel you need to see that as you handle your business. Anyhow, the food is good, not top quality but not the worst. Service is friendly and they will gladly refill any of the items that are out on the steam tables. The sushi rolls are not bad either.. I would definitely recommend this place and will come back.. read more

First time coming to this place . Wonder how old this food is ?Food was stale and salty , i guess that's fair per $25 per person?

Bad food quality and not good enough pay $20 with tips this lunch , frozen fish just leave outside deforest without cover and then making sushi so dirty . If have zero star will give zero stars and went home diarrhea read more
