I was super amazed with the taste. Everything taste great! I'm glad I didn't tip because you get your own silverware, and drink. They actually have ice cream toppings :) they have two buffet tables/lines. And a third one containing the desserts and fruit. Real good fried rice and lo mein. The price is very reasonable. read more

The price is fair. The food is good (mostly chicken dishes). It's close to my work place. Great Moon is still my #1 spot. Their service is good and they are really nice. This place has all your regular Chinese buffet entrees, sweet & sour chicken, General Tso's chicken, buffet salmon, lo Mein, fried rice, chicken wings, chicken stir fry, beef and broccoli, pork rip tips, pot stickers, hot and sour soup, fried spring rolls, fried dim sum (my favorite), cream cheese wantons, stuffed mushrooms, and more.... Their food looks and taste fresh for the most part. Sometimes during the lunch hour, it's hard to find a parking spot because it's located in a strip mall. I usually just park in the 20-min parking spots. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I would normally shy away from reviewing a Chinese buffet but Panda Garden Buffet deserves a special mention. Yes their dishes may not be authentic and are severely Americanized, and yes the selection may not be as enormous as some of the other giant buffets in the outer suburbs, but this consistently solid venue has been serving up deliciously salty head-on shrimp for dinner since my middle school days in Roseville. If only a larger portion of the population knew how underappreciated shrimp heads tasted, then high end restaurants wouldn't dare start the emerging trend of serving deep fried shrimp heads as a delicacy for exorbitant prices. You might be pleasantly surprised by the shrimp, mussels, or chicken on a stick conveniently located in Roseville. read more

I had a great experience at this buffet. The food was fresh and hot, and the chicken wings were excellent.

I have to compare this to previous buffets I've had and this one doesn't measure up. The best part of the buffet was the fried chicken wings. They are some is the best I've had but the steamed rice was awful. read more

First of all I dislike buffets. That word to me usually means low quality. But I was pleasantly surprised. On a in-law outing here I discovered the good quality food. I tried the BBQ chicken, fried chicken wings, fried shrimp, fried rice, fried filet shrimp (hmm, seems there's a theme :-), mushroom stuffed with pork and green beans (cuz you know, vegetables). Everything was fresh. Nothing was overloaded with oil. I also tried the mussels (or a mussel), but it was cold, I'm guessing an anomaly. I also tried the yogurt machine, which was also tasty. The chocolate sauce was also exceptionally good, having a good viscous consistency and flavor. Or course it wasn't artisan or anything, but on par with the rest of the restaurant. They also had oysters, which I didn't try, but apparently are good enough for some patron to load a small hill-ful on her plate. I must also post that even their soda Machi e was well tuned. Not too much soda water as some places that try to skimp on the syrup. Overall this place is 3.5 stars, but bumped it up to 4 for cleanliness, unusual for a Chinese restaurant. read more

I went there for dinner. 1) The salty shrimp: 5 stars: Very Large, head on, not too salty. Best in town. 2) Steamed Mussels: There steam mussels are the best deal in town. The are large, plump and not overcooked. 3) House cooked potatoes with vegetables: Not chinese but great! 4) Macaroni and cheese: Good. I took the plump mussels out of the shells and had Macaroni Mussels and Cheese. Now that was totally great. 5) Fake crab cod mixed with cheddar cheese: I tried it because I never saw it before. It was actually pretty good. 6) Drinks are included. 7) One large fried chicken wing: tasty. 8) They had lots of moist white rice. That is important. 9) The hot and sour soup looked pretty good, but I did not try it since I was stuffed. read more

Not that great. Only 2 lives of buffet foods....it's good but it's not great quality. I just watched my husband pull a hair out of his mouth. Long hair. Gross. read more

The food here is pretty basic but it's really tasty. Everything I tried was good. I recommend the spring rolls, string beans, spicy pork, and the chicken wings. I also thought the hot and sour soup was good. I had two bowls. Fresh fruit and salad bar, ice cream but no sushi or hibachi. Under $12 all in with soft drinks or water. Cheaper and far better quality than the joints on Lake Street. read more

I enjoyed coming here with my family. It doesn't have the diversity of some buffets out there, where they have sushi rolls and Mongolian stir-fry, but it's tasty! Also, my Mom's dumplings will always take the cake, however...I could have eaten 20 of their boiled pot stickers at once if there wasn't so much variety. Also enjoyed their cream cheese wontons. Thanks, Panda Garden! read more

Amazing food! It was our first time coming here, definitely will not be our last! Great variety and very good.

Zhenfei should be promoted to bus boy he is crazy good with garbage he even said I was born in it!

The food was cold, and flavorless. For a cheap lunch ch buffet I didn't expect much. But, the kicker... vomit all over one of the bathroom stalls. It had been there a while. Disgusting and dirty. Will never ever go back. read more

There is a lack of decent food in the Como Park neighborhood. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the yumminess that we found at the Panda. There are a variety of commonly found Chinese dishes along with some unusual selections and the occasional American food (chicken strips and potato wedges) mixed in. My wife loves the salty shrimp--heads, tails and all. To top it off, they have fountain pop and soft-serve ice cream. Pretty good for a buffet and better than the other non-buffet Chinese places around (I'm talking about you, Chin's Kitchen and House of Wong). The only downer is that the employees, who are clearly family that run the place, always look tired and like they would rather be someplace else. They are never rude but they work too much. read more

When it comes to Chinese food, I'm very picky - especially Chinese buffets! I've been here a few times now, and I haven't been disappointed. The food trays are always being refilled with fresh product - compared to some places where they just stir the crusty crap around to make it look like it hadn't been sitting there for the past hour untouched. The Chinese options are the common items (sweet and sour, general tso, sesame, egg rolls, wontons, and others) along with american side items (mac and cheese, herb roasted potatoes, chicken wings, french fries, etc.). They also have seafood items. There is a table that has the cold items; salads, jello, pasta salads, etc and another one with fruit and limited desserts. Oh, don't forget the ice cream machine and a few choices for toppings! Even though it is a "whole in the wall" spot, I've never seen it dead. There always seems to be a consistent number of customers. Panda garden isn't an "old country buffet" - IT'S MUCH BETTER! And the price point is exactly where it should be (drinks are included with the meal). My boyfriend and I went there for dinner tonight and it came to $22 (not including the tip)! It was a cheap date, but we both left completely satisfied! read more

one of the better and more affordable chinese buffets in the Twin Cities

This has become one of our Roseville standbys. The food is good - not super awesome or gourmet - but it's always really fresh and is constantly being re-filled and tended to, which is more important at a buffet. Plus, one of the family members that works the front always remembers us when we come in, which is very sweet - and a little concerning, because it speaks to how often we eat there. Bottom line - it's tasty and it's consistently good. Go there, and make sure you get the potstickers, mushroom caps, and the green beans (they're fresh!). read more

Okay, so this buffet was not the worst but let me lay it out from my perspective. I'd say the best thing there was the cream cheese wontons, they were sweet, and crispy, nice and hot. Besides those, there was nothing that stood out tremendously, but the buffet was only two tables and half of one was salad stuff. traditional Asian buffet choices, food was warm. Coke products here, and it's located in a strip mall which makes parked a little crowded sometimes. $8.99 for lunch buffet. Drinks you get yourself, and they didn't come by to take dirty plates right away so it can get crowded if you're with a group. Infect like the cashier was staring my down since I didn't tip. It's a buffet I get everything myself? Will probably go again, maybe during dinner hours to see if it's better.. read more

The food was oily and there was not much a variation of food. The owner was not friendly. Its price was about the same price of other buffet restaurant, but the food did not the same quality. The atmosphere is dark and gloomy. I saw more Americans than Asians here. Maybe the Asian food suited the Americans more. read more

My husband and I went to the buffet early on a Saturday evening. No Mongolian grill, steam dumplings were cold and the rice puddling was inedible. The only positive was the service. Will not be a repeat customer. read more

First time visit 12-15-16 1:00pm and I was IMPRESSED! The restaurant appeared to be spotlessly CLEAN including the ladies room, and all staff members were also very neat and clean in appearance. The 2nd best thing about Panda is that the food was so very FRESH. 3rd, is the SELECTION. Not having been there in the past, I filled much of my plate on the 1st of 4 rows of selections. This was not a good idea as there were so many other selections I could not even begin to sample. It is all you can eat, but one can only eat so much of this very tasty food. I will return soon and often. read more

Ugh I'm sorry but not good at all. A $12 Buffett with little to no selection. Surprisingly it was packed. The ice cream was the only thing that I enjoyed. read more

First Time at PGB yesterday for lunch. I found most of the ethnic selections to be rather bland. The stuffed mushroom caps, were very good and I pretty much made my meal out of those. The fried chicken drummies were also tasty. Dining area was clean and I noticed employees were diligent about keeping serving areas wiped down and cleaned. The restroom was clean. This is not a place I would race to if I wanted Asian buffet, but for the price, it was ok. read more

I have had lunch there for more than eight years and the food is always outstanding. The food is always cooked to perfection and everything is keep well stocked and hot. The staff keep the stations clean and keep constant watch to make sure that the stations are always full. This is the best Asian buffet I have ever had. Very reasonable priced. The chicken and the beef dished are the best and the chicken wings,cream cheese wontons and spring rolls are a piece of heaven. read more

You get a lot of food even for take out. They don't have everything the typical Chinese restaurant offers which kind of sucks, but the food they do offer is delicious and definitely affordable. read more

O.K. folks,here's the dealio.......if you have ever eaten at great moon buffet,in columbia heights,mn,then panda garden buffet,is almost an exact carbon copy!.I went there for lunch,on saturday,sept 26th.The all-you-can-eat lunch buffet,was $7.78.The customer service at panda garden,is more"hands off",than great moon buffet......by that i mean,after paying for your meal,you choose a place to sit,get your own silverware,drinks,clean plate,etc.The employees will help you,if you need assistance with anything,though.The dining area is spacious,with red vinyl booths,up alongside the walls,and tables located,near the center of the restaurant.On this visit,i sampled the following dishes........vegetable fried rice,fried beef,swwet&sour chicken,green beans,salmon,garlic bread sticks,cream cheese won tons,and fried duck.All of the food i tried,was fresh,hot,and tasty......with the exception of the fried beef,which had a spicy kick,but tended to be a bit on the chewy side.All the buffet food,is clearly marked,on the glass sneeze-guards,so there are no guessing games,as to what you just put on your plate!.I ended my meal,with a dish of vanilla soft-serve ice cream,topped with chocolate syrup.Panda garden has plenty of free parking,in the strip mall parking lot.They accept cash and credit cards,but if i remember right,no personal checks.I can safely say that,based on my positive experience here,that i will return again,for another great meal,sometime in the future!.I give panda garden buffet,a solid four stars. read more

We went yesterday for dinner about 5pm. The food was totally off. The white rice was hard and crunchy. The sweet and sour chicken was hard to even cut with a knife. The muscle couldn't even be cut with a knife. The shrimp was so over cooked it wasn't edible. The fried chicken wings seemed to be at least a day or so old. We went at this time thinking everything would be fresh. We hadn't been there in a while, even though it's very close to our house. The veggie rice was ok. The cream cheese wonton seemed to have some kind of foreign object in it. Thank God I saw it before I ate it. The seafood pasta salad had no seafood in it. We got dirty looks from the staff as they picked up our plates we were done with that had food on it. But, I am sure they wouldn't eat it either. The only thing good were the mushrooms, the almond cookies, and of course the ice cream. We paid $23.55 for mushrooms, a couple cookies and a small ice cream. Should have gone to Dairy Queen, would have filled us up for less money. We won't be going there anymore. They've sure gone downhill in the last year. read more

Really good fried shrimp, dumplings, and chicken wings.

Whenever I'm driving through Roseville, my mind thinks of excuses to visit this place. It's my favorite Chinese buffet in the Twin Cities. Their selection is pretty good and, unlike other buffet restaurants, they rotate their items fairly regularly. The Hunan Pork and the cream cheese wontons are excellent. The egg drop soup is also pretty good. read more

I went here last night--fantastic surprise. Nice atmosphere and clean. The food was tasty--not at all greasy or salty. The selection was great, too! This place is not in my neighborhood, but its worth the drive for good, all you can eat food. read more
