We recently tried Panda Buffet in New Smyrna, Florida, and overall had a good experience. While the…read morebuffet itself is on the smaller side, it still offers a nice variety of traditional favorites like General Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, and other classic Chinese dishes most people are looking for. One of the highlights for me was the hibachi option. I chose steak with mushrooms and onions, and it was solid--the steak was tender and cooked well, which was a pleasant surprise for a buffet. They also offer a small selection of sushi. I only tried the tuna roll and sashimi, but both tasted fresh and were better than expected. For the price, I think it's a good deal, especially considering lunch is only $12.99. Dinner pricing felt reasonable as well for what's offered. We came around 6 PM, which is prime dinner time, and a few items had clearly been sitting out for a bit and weren't as fresh as they could have been--but nothing was inedible. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated for Christmas, which made the atmosphere feel warm and inviting. Our server was attentive enough and kept things moving smoothly. While I can't say I'd go out of my way to return or rush back--personally, I tend to prefer a larger buffet with more options--it's still a decent spot if you're in the area and looking for a solid, affordable buffet meal.

I was skeptical coming into this place. I didn't check the reviews before I went in or I would not…read morehave gone in as is my custom however, I am glad that I went. I ordered the combination shrimp and broccoli meal with an egg roll and fried rice. This ambience is nonexistent and while they have a couple of tables in there, there's a sign that says take out only. That seemed rude and unfriendly to me, but I wasn't planning on staying anyway. They had the ambience of the Chinese restaurants in New York and we never eat in those types. As for the food, I was surprised it was tasty. I even enjoyed the egg roll, which is always a hit and miss the shrimp and broccoli was very good. The broccoli was cooked properly and there were five large shrimp that was it. There was an abundance of yellow rice sprinkled with hiding pieces of roast pork, I think? Anyway, the rice isn't really why I'm there and I would've normally have gotten white rice, but they didn't have it. weird Anyway, I will go back again at some point as it wasn't terrible and surprisingly tasty. Very stingy with the number of shrimp, but they were the larger shrimp so there's that. I forgot to take pictures so that's my bad I was hungry

I was in Deland, FL, and craving for some Chinese steak. I remember from my high school days, the…read moreplace to go for that was Wong Lees. Sadly, it's no longer there/closed. We found Top China which is in the same area/neighborhood. This place is a hole in a wall with no glamour or frills. More of a takeout. The good thing, it was clean. Food prices are reasonable/cheap. Even though there was a language barrier, the service is good. There was no steak item similar to Wong Lees on the menu. We ordered the main staple dishes for any Chinese restaurant; pork lomain, Mongolian beef, shrimp veggie, fried rice, and hot n sour soup. Food was cooked very fast but taste is just okay. Nothing really special. Unfortunately, I could have gone to a closer Chinese restaurant where I live and got a much better food experience. For me, this place is not my cup of tea.

Got the chicken, beef & shrimp hibachi (#4 on menu) because I wanted to try everything. The shrimp was perfectly cooked with a lil snap left, the beef was moist and not overcooked even had a lil char to it, the chicken caught me off guard with how juicy it was. I'm a self proclaimed chicken snob because restaurants always kill it and as a chef I don't understood how. The vegetables all still had crunch and bright colors. Everything including the rice was a bit bland for my taste and I don't use yum yum sauce. Will definitely eat here again. Even if you eat in it comes in Styrofoam which is a bit wasteful in my opinion.

Nothing against the wonderful Asian population, but often times it's difficult to understand them when I call into Chinese take-out spots. With that said, my order was placed with ease and my food was already waiting for me on the counter when I arrived. That's what I call good service! My order of beef Lo Mein and combination special of sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice was surprisingly good. The food was reminiscent of New York style Chinese takeout so I must say I was taken a back. The Lo Mein tasted good but I will say it had a lot of sauce and was slightly softer than I prefer. The sweet and sour chicken was typical of anywhere but the pork fried rice had a smoked flavor to it which gave it a nice touch. You could really taste that hot fired-up wok! The only negative I would say about this first experience was that the egg roll was not fresh and seemed fried twice yet still more mushy than crispy. I'm interested in trying other menu items but I should pace myself because healthy eating isn't a synonym for Chinese take out.
