Panda palace is the buffet of all buffet's in town. Plenty of room for parties. But why do that? Don't! The price is fair for an adult and it will get the job done. We only wanted to eat one big meal and were able to do that here. The pepper chicken and "skinny" noodles are my favorite! There's a sauce station, dessert area, and a sushi line too! There's something for everyone! read more

I am a little surprised by the bad reviews here. Nice, clean restaurant with pay up front pricing. $17.95 includes drink. Polite and attended service. First, the good: My eggroll and wonton was delicious and red sauce flavorful! The hot and sour soup was on point. Lo mein was yummy and not greasy. Chicken dishes above average and peel and eat shrimp were fresh and clean! Lots of sauce options! But the star -- the fried chicken wings! They were some of the best I have had. Period. They were slightly curried and delicious and juicy. The not so good: Some dishes especially the seafood and sushi, were mid to not good. The stuffed shrimp and sushi bordered inedible. Since I am a more seafood than chicken person, I would weigh this the next time I wanted a Chinese buffet BUT if I want chicken wings with Chinese sides? Yeah Buddy! read more

The food was bad. There's no other way to say it. I put 6 different items on my plate to try. All 6 had flavors ranging from undercooked to straight up sour. Not a single one should have tasted like that considering 4 of the six items I got were variations of chicken, of which NONE were listed as "sour" anything. Disheartenin. Had high hopes. Was a waste of $35. read more

I'll start by saying I don't usually dine at buffets, so I don't expect much from them in general. On this day, I was super burned out on everything else and had just finished shopping across the street. I was hungry and had to be at work soon, so I decided to give it a try. You pay upon entering at a cash register counter and let them know what you'd like to drink. $22.00 for a Chinese buffet--wow! A little on the expensive side, but I figured I'd still give it a try. The seating is comfortable, and the servers are great. They checked on me several times without hovering. The buffet was well-stocked for the most part, especially considering it was 2:30 in the afternoon. The food review: It's nothing special. The food was all very bland and lacked sufficient seasoning. I primarily stuck with proteins, as my dietary restrictions only allow for very minimal carbohydrates. Again, the food was very bland. Definitely not worth the price. Maybe if it were $12.99 or something--but definitely not worth $22.00. I wish them all the best, but it's a hard pass for me read more

DONT COME HERE!!! It was absolutely horrible. The smell was gross, the prices were so ridiculous, and the food was cold. Nothing here tasted good. Go somewhere else trust me. read more

Really good food. Love their sushi and variety of different dishes. Only negatives would be that I wish they had more vegetable options, their Hot and Sour soup is not good, and they always seem to have the news playing, which never has anything good to say and is already overwhelming. read more

Absolutely horrible! The food was cold, tasteless and in most cases stale like leftovers from a day or two before. But the worst part is it also made me physically ill. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EAT THERE! read more

Panda Palace Buffet - Receipt - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Food: Some of the worst tasting Chinese food I have had. The shrimp and crab left an after taste for almost 2 hours. The simple things like meat on a stick was not tinder and bland. The Tao's chicken had way too much batter. I could go on and on but you get it by now. Service: I sat there for 15 mins waiting for a refill on my water. Atmosphere: Grown men eating with their hands at the buffet...fatigue. They make you pay before you eat ...I think I know why. read more

Food was hot and fresh, there are tons of options. I thought it was a good buffet. Is it a Michelin star restaurant? Well no but is it a good Chinese buffet? I would say so. read more

I love this place food is always good if the items aren't fresh on the line all you have to do is ask for some fresh items to be brought out and I've never got sick or had any food poisoning their good in my book read more

Needs better pricing menu on website. Said the meal was $13 per person ended up paying $44 for 2 people. Won't be returning

Other reviews on here are not exaggerating. Food quality and experience at this place has really gone downhill. Flavor of everything here now reminds me of old dishrags/dishwater. Ick. This place used to be great, now it's just blah, gross. Not really sure how else to explain it. Lot of stuff is just cold, or been sitting out for hours. read more

it hasn't been the same for a while. It use to be quiet the buffet until each year becomes worse and less people coming. The food hasn't been the same as its been worse and worse ever since covid. Today I went and most of the food wasn't hot instead being lukewarm while others has been cold. I witness another customer arguing with staff because of the food. I hope this place becomes better in time since I was a kid. read more

Really bad. I don't know what was going on. Lots of workers, barely any people and they were unable to refill food items. Lots of stuff going on in the kitchen, but still no food... Went there two hours before closing, grab a few crawfish. They only put a few more during that time, which I was able to put on my plate. Once I put the crawfish on my plate, a little girl who works there looked at me so nasty, started complaining in spanish about me taking them all (just imagine, one plate is all they brought and I took...). After seeing her complaining I told her in english, "well, bring more", and she said in Spanish thinking I wouldn't understand (we are working so hard back there, Perro, which mexicans use as insult). Anyway, I was glad to leave, definitely never going back again. read more

Good sometimes. Bad sometimes. I guess you just get what you get. If you feel like Chinese and want to spend your salary, this is your place! read more

Food is fresh great and clean environment. The service was awesome. Very good will be back soon.

The quality of the food is bottom tier and at least half of the dishes we tried were cold. The price is extremely high, even if the food was great. Normally I don't post bad reviews but this was so ridiculously poor on every front I felt it necessary to post this. read more

Oh man I should've looked at the rating of this place on here before my partner and I tried this place. Zero zero zero stars. The food was absolutely horrible. Most everything was bland. The place reeks of horrible smelling seafood. When the cashier said it's $48.50 for two people on a Sunday at 3p I was baffled, but thought hey why not try it. Mannnnnnn but choice. If it wasn't for my partner and I just had to make the best of it. Service was kind and the place look great on the inside but, just god awful food. read more

Worst Chinese buffet ever and way overpriced 45$ for 2 people and the nastiest Chinese food I've ever tasted I won't be surprised if I have food poisoning after this read more

The service great very clean but the food was a bit dry but still overall was amazing place.

Found plastic in the food, manager is not professional. 18:30pm Tuesday on the 5th March, the African woman with red dress was the one who claimed to be the manager! read more

Solid Chinese buffet. They have a decent amount of options and I've always been happy with the food served here. I really like the salt and pepper shrimp and the seafood options in general here. They also have the sesame balls with red bean paste which make a great dessert. While the ice cream hasn't changed due to covid times, I do think the big tub definitely tastes better than the individual sized ice creams most buffets are leaning towards now. Overall a good place we will be back at soon. Note that you pay upfront now. read more

The food was soooo good and the selection endless! Definitely not the place to go if you're on a diet, but no one could complain of going away hungry! The service was also great. We will definitely be back again and again. read more

This would have been a better review had it not been for the frontend worker by the name of Jakayla. Mom and I were meeting a group of friends (this was our first time here). Mom's wasn't hungry so she asked if she could just get a soda, as she was being social. She was rudely told no, no exceptions. Fine no problem, we complied. However when other members of our party arrived, one of whom had just returned from her doctor after having surgery and wasn't able to eat after paying. She asked if she could get a to-go box since she didn't eat anything and had already paid. Again Jakayla told her: no she would have to eat in the restaurant no to-go box. My friend explained again her situation. Then something I've never heard or seen before: Jakayla then ask for proof of my friend's surgery or documentation otherwise no to-go box or money back. The food was ok but someone really needs to give Jakayla a lesson in customer service-horrible. read more

Panda Palace Buffet - Medical records - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

They really deserve no stars! I went in to eat with my daughter and not one waiter or waitress asked how we were doing or if we needed a refill. I watched one woman go to only one table and ignore not only me, but 3 other tables. If I'm going to be spending at least $50 in your establishment, the least you can do is say hello and ask if we needed a refill. I will be spending my money elsewhere or maybe I should've just moved next to the table that got all the attention read more

In the area and several good reviews. Large buffet with many options and well laid out. Servers and hostess all very accommodating. The majority of the food was warm at best. Several dishes not favorable while spring rolls and several of the chicken dishes were good. Some of the beef dishes were tuff and cold. They have Blue Bell ice cream. Too many options in Mobile to be coming back. read more

If there was a 0 I'd put zero. The 1 star is being too nice honestly. This place is a scam. The way they do the food and how they break up lunch and dinner. Dude was trying to charge me 10 dollars extra for dinner and it was lunch and he didn't want to tell me what they even had for lunch. He said I could choose from a certain amount of food. Paying 16 dollars all you can eat and being limited to what I can eat. I'll pass. Looked good but it's scuffed, I do not recommend. The service is dog water. read more

We stopped by here while shopping. It has plenty of parking and the restaurant is large. It was clean and decorated as any other Chinese buffet usually is. The taste of the food was fantastic. But I was disappointed at the temperature of the food. I realize it's a buffet, but food food is unacceptable. Three stars only because the taste was great. read more

The best part of lunch was my mother-in-law making a beeline for the sushi table then screeching "Yuck, it's RAW!" Priceless. $10. Better food than other local buffet places at a better price. read more

We have been regulars here for several years. I was a little disappointed when the crab legs and frog legs were taken off the buffet but I can understand since their cost has skyrocketed. We've recently been going on weekdays and have been very pleased. The best upgrade they have made since opening was to put some pleasant people to greet you and take your money. The gal that was there a long time had the most sour disposition of anyone I've ever seen. Wherever she is I'm sure she's got the same sour look that she brought to Panda Palace every day. read more

we like there.m! my friend and i come over twice a week. food is good, serving is also good. they have snow crabs on weekends. read more

Panda Palace Buffet - buffer - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Everything I tried was either overcooked, mushy or just poorly done. I paid $25.00 with tip and had some white rice (overcooked and hard), some General Tso's Chicken (mushy and zero spice/flavor), a few pieces of sweet and sour chicken (mostly batter) and some potatoes (overcooked). I was in and out of there in less than 5 minutes total as nothing was worth eating. On the bright side, the staff was polite and the place seemed clean and well-kept. read more

Food was just OK. The buffet is pretty small with not that great of a selection. I was the only one wearing a mask, although there was some social distancing. Price-wise, more expensive than your average Chinese buffet for so-so food. YMMV read more

The food was pretty delicious, and the service was pretty solid. Everything was extremely seamless to navigate and access, and they made eating super easy for all. However, the front of the house, as well as the restroom could have been tighter.We recommend. read more

This will be our final attempt! We went on 01/21/2023 at around 2-3:00pm. Just want to start off with the food at this restaurant is TERRIBLE. My husband and I have given this restaurant, several chances going different days and times to see if it would be any different and it's not. Do not waste your time or money the food is awful. The food is extremely bland and cold. It's not a buffet because you don't want to go back.. read more

I was back in Mobile and in a hurry and decided to give this place another shot. The experience this time was much better than a year ago when I was here. Covid took its toll on the recovery of so many small businesses and this one was no exception. I am happy to say that they are back to serving a decent buffet with a pretty good selection of food. The buffet with drink was around $16 so it's not exactly cheap, but what is anymore. All in all, it's a solid 3 stars and I wouldn't expect much more from a lunch buffet. read more
