Clean, fresh food cooked without all that disgusting grease. Lots of veggies that were still tender-crisp and colorful. Lots of good options, even veggies with tofu. This was the freshest buffet ever! Staff was very friendly. read more

It wasn't bad until my sister ate something then came out the bathroom sick and the food is cold and tasted old

WOW, this place is amazing. When I walked up here I was a little hesitant with the food, but it came out awesome. I thought that I was a bad place it turns out I was wrong. I love the music , the food and everything else. this place is super clean, I don't know how I can find anything wrong with it! 4 stars read more

Panda Buffet - a man sitting at a table in a restaurant - Buffets Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

See all

I'm a fan of Chinese food, but tough to satisfy. Panda Buffet does just that with its fresh sushi, hot buffet bars filled with numerous chicken, beef & pork dishes, fresh steamed Salmon, dim sum, a variety of cooked noodles, mushrooms galore and fresh crisp cooked broccoli & green beans. Beer & wine are available. Ice cream & Apple pie finish off a full meal. The price is just under $10 for lunch and about $13 for dinner. Dinner starts at 3:00pm. Jeniffer, the owner, is at the front with a big smile, and keeps an eagle eye on the buffet and tables. A wonderful wait staff will take drink orders and whisk away empty plates. Abby is great! Their Hot & Sour soup is restorative. It's my go-to meal when I'm not feeling well. They make it fresh. You can tell a lot about a Chinese kitchen by the look and taste of hot & sour soup. Have fun. Save room for dessert! read more

I've been this place about five times because my wife like the steamed bun here. I just convinced her that we will never come back!

Hey for chineese buffet at lunch..good stuff. I love a buffet. The place is CLEAN, food hot, plenty of variety.

This is the best Chinese restaurant I have gone to. The service is friendly and quick, and we can immediately get our food after being seated. It's my favorite Chinese restaurant by far and I definitely recommend it. read more

One of the better Chinese buffet in town. Food is above average, place is nice, and price is good. You can't go wrong coming here is your looking for Chinese food. read more

Fairly flavorless and what wasn't was full of salt/sodium in an effort to compensate. None of the usual hints of chili, garlic, savory or other spices and herbs. Options were lacking from other buffets. Sushi was plain, again with no sauces or originality. The one tempura roll was cold and tough. Price was raised up for Father's Day, but the options didn't support it. Decor is tired and old. I would say pass on this one. read more

Limited Chinese menu, but the taste, portion size, and price make this a must for a quick lunch or dinner. I love the shrimp dishes. Whatever sauces they concoct to put on the food are sooo tasty! A comment about the staff: terrific! I wanted to make the young woman who greeted me the employee if the year. She was helpful and delightful! I made a passing comment about an appearance issue at the door and before I could sit down, she had someone fixing it. If I had a restaurant I would steal her! read more

Best Chinese food in Tallahassee. Sushi is very fresh and the service is great. Large variety of fresh food. Clean and quiet atmosphere.

I have eaten here on a few occasions n to be frank its been a waste of money. The food was a bit dry, like it had been left out too long.. there really is no variety just your standard fried Chinese food. The rice had bits of cut up clam shell in it. They do have this beef soup/stew it's a bit spicy but it's full of flavor and delicious, unfortunately it's very rare when they have it out (its one of the reasons I went back again). The deserts are nothing to get excited about. For the price, it's not worth it. Not planning on going back. read more

Over-priced and average tasting food. This restaurant is in serious need of some renovations and some authentic flavor.

I was pretty hungry when I ate here--so, did I eat the food? Well, yes, but it wasn't all that great. Like a few have previously stated, I too noticed several food bins amongst the buffet that hadn't been replenished or even stirred for quite some time. With that in mind, I carefully selected my lunch from some of the more attended-to dishes on the line. The sushi guy was making rolls, so I also picked up a few California Rolls which, I must say, were quite good. Most of the buffet dishes, however, were pretty average and lacked any special flavor--but as previously noted, my hunger probably got the best of me. read more

I like the Sushi over there. I been there for our corporate party. I don't know price for the buffet but I liked their sushi and some entry over. But there are so many items. I will definitely try again. They got good number of parking spot around the restaurant read more

Very clean and good chinese buffet. Sushi is standard chinese buffet quality sushi. 1 fried line, 1 salad and fruits line, 2 chinese food lines, 1 soup/rice line, 1 dessert and 1 sushi line. read more

$6.99 lunch buffet - affordable and you get lots of chicken dishes like peanut chicken, orange chicken, buffalo chicken, etc. lots of American Chinese food. There's also American sushi _ rainbow roll, bbq chicken roll, crab with cream cheese, ocean salad, etc. The dining area and restroom are clean. I give it 3 stars because the food was pretty good. I'm used to Cantonese Chinese food in Hawaii but this restaurant does really good for American Chinese. read more

We ate there for the first time today. This is the best Oriental buffet food that we have ever had. This will be our go to place for Chinese from now on. read more

The old woman working at the checkout counter is very rude，When you ask her some question，she looks poker face which makes you feel very uncomfortable. We are going to eat, not to see a crying face. The dishes are very very general and not recommended， never will go again read more

I tried panda buffet for the first time tonight. I was very happy to hear that the buffet was only $10 and very affordable and I was excited to see the large variety of food. Some things could've been a little hotter but overall the food was good quality and delicious. The sushi was great! The dessert bar is also commendable. Overall, really solid! read more

We ate at Panda Buffet last Sunday and had a great experience. The sushi was fresh, there were tons of options (even some I don't see on other buffets all the time, like rice noodles), and it was all hot and tasty. I could tell there was no MSG, and it wasn't overly salty. Someone else recommended the coconut shrimp, and it was really good. The frab (fake crab) was actually my favorite. The ambiance was nice with what sounded like Chinese music playing softly. Yes, the TV was on, but there was only one, and it was on mute. I find it amusing that people complained about them playing FoxNews -- no one ever complains when the TV is on a liberal channel. Either way, I didn't find it obtrusive at all. The service was minimal, but we didn't need anything so it was fine. We didn't go to the restrooms so I can't comment about that. The only negative things I can say is that there were very few name cards out, so it was hard to tell what some of the more unusual items were. The cost was also higher than I expected because they charge $11.99 on the weekends. I look forward to going back, maybe during the week next time. read more

To echo the other reviewers, I would avoid this place. We went for dinner on a Sunday night (5:30) and the place was pretty empty. The service was nice, with the waitress being very attentive. However, the food seemed like it was left out for awhile. The chickens dishes were stringy, dry, and rubbery. The fried items were your typical way to much fried breading and greasy insides. Even if you like buffets, I'd skip this place. read more

Much better today that the first time went. Staff are always very nice and always clean. The kids enjoy eating here because they do not have to be quiet. read more

Love buffet!food is fresh there! different kinds of chinese food, disum, fruits and sushi satisfy me! the price is acceptable, just about 7 for one person. i eat 3 dishes! read more

Panda Express is one of my favorite restaurants of this category but this location sucks. Food is sub par and 90% of the employees suck at their job. Every time I come here the food either tastes like it's been sitting out for a while or I have terrible customer service. I gave up on this location read more

Gross! We decided to eat there today on a whim and left sorely disappointed. When we pulled in there were a lot of cars and so we figured it must be at least decent. Upon entering we were pleased to see a large buffet with very good looking food. Sadly nearly everything we tried looked great and tasted terrible! I am still confused as to how you make food that looks that good and tastes so bad. The only things we found that were good were the mushroom from the chicken and mushroom (the chicken itself was gross), and the doughnuts. Between the three of us we tried everything and that was all we found palatable. Save your money and go anywhere else. read more

I don't like it at all. The environment is good. But the food is stale. It even makes me vomit and go to the hospital. A bad memory!

Pretty lousy Chinese buffet. Selection is fine, but food quality was very poor. Much of the chicken was like rubber, dessert items tasted freezer burnt, etc. Server also smelled overwhelmingly like smoke, which only made an already bad dining experience even worse. Food was bad enough that I would not consider going back. Don't waste your money here. read more

I've never had a problem here. Love love love the coconut shrimp and cheesy seafood bake

This is a decent place to get Chinese. Very good assortment of food and sushi. The prices are very reasonable to. They even have a good desert bar. I would come back. read more

Not great. Not bad. Pretty much what you expect in a Chinese buffet. Nice setting and up-to-date decor. I would go there again.

It is exactly what you would expect, nothing special. The service is OK... sometimes the food seems like it has been sitting out for a while, but other than that everything tastes pretty decent. It is a clean environment, kind of crammed, and they play "soothing" Asian tunes. read more
