I have eaten here at least 3 times. Why, you ask? Well, my job takes me to this place located inside the Aquarius Casino every so often so when lunch time comes around, my choices are either McDonalds, Subway, Duets (a coffee/café joint), Café Aquarius (a sit down restaurant), and Windows (your standard casino buffet).
Now Café Aquarius and Windows Buffet you are guaranteed to spend more than 10 bucks plus tip so you can remove those from my choices. Of course I have eaten in both venues and trust me, I wasn't too impressed. As for the Duets Coffee/Café shop, everything in there is marked up.
So basically, its Subway, McDonald's or Panda.
This Panda, the food is actually decent. It's the service that blows chunks. From my last couple of visits, the common theme was the same. Whenever lunch time came around like 11 am - 12 pm, it seemed like the employees were still trying to get all the entrees ready and of course the ones I wanted were either being cooked or were next to be cooked. Come on man! All the other Pandas I have ever been to had everything ready to go as soon as they opened. Memo to the Panda higher ups management, y'all need to work on the opening procedures here.
This last time I went, as usual the food wasn't ready yet and it was about 11:45 am already. I asked the cashier when it was gonna be ready. She gave me a smartass comment about if I didn't want to wait, there was a McDonalds and a Subway across the casino.
Not only do you have to deal with the bad service, you also gotta deal with the secondhand smoke coming from the casino, especially if there are a bunch of smokers sitting at any one of the many slot machines lined up next to the tables you sit at.
So if you have a lot of patience and don't really care about bad service, then this place is for you! read more
