Always have the best food and great service. The best restaurant I have been to and my favorite place to go. A wonderful variety of foods made with care from the staff. Excellent. Five stars from me and my family and friends.

My favorite Buffett in the area. I like their Pepper Chicken and pepper steak.

Mediocre buffet at best. The facility is run down and in desperate need of updating.

Not impressed with the place or the food. The place is filthy dirty. Some of the food is re cooked ,so don't expect freshly made. The food is low quality and cooked in bacon grease. I could just taste the heavy grease in the foods. I ate a broccoli that had a lump of what looked like bacon grease. It was just too much for me. Other places use lighter oils, but if you like heavy greasy laden foods then go for it. Overall, I won't be visiting this place ever again!

I looked up restaurants in the Mineola area, and this looked like a good place to try. When we arrived, the exterior wasn't as 'eye catching' as was expected. But, we thought we would go in and see how the interior appeared. It was simply like a small town, buffet restaurant. We could see what was offered on the buffet though, and thought, "Let's do it!".We told the person who seated us that we were going to get the buffet. She said the plates were at the end of the buffet area and the glasses and drinks were there for us to 'help ourselves to'. The food was good (although my wife told a woman that the sugar biscuit (I think it was called) she had wasn't cooked completely, and the inside was still a little gooey. She said she would remove that item from the buffet and have some more made. There were 3 flavors of ice cream and a few other dessert items to choose from to finish our lunch.For a small town buffet and an even $40 for 3 people bill, I'd go back myself. For anyone who prefers a more 'uptown looking buffet', this might not be your 1st choice.

This was the best food I have had in a long time we are visiting a friend from Hawkins. This food was really great looking forward to coming back again. The people take very good care of you and make sure you are taken care of.

Panda used to be owned by a conscientious friendly family. They served a fresh variety of food, and offered punch cards to earn an 11th meal free for returning customers. Unfortunately, they sold the restaurant, and the new family is not friendly, and refuses to honor the punch cards. Half the food on the buffet is fresh, and half is old, waiting for the new dish which is slow coming. When they bring out fresh food, they scrape off the old food over the top of it to make sure they don't waste one sprig of over-cooked broccoli. Their prices just keep soaring. The restaurant ls small, dim, and not inviting. Someone please open another Chinese restaurant in our county because this one blows.

Ive been coming here for yrs and the food is great and the staff are always nice
It's good. I've gone here as a regular 6 years ago then moved. Went back yesterday and the same ol food and same ol dust around the air vents and everywhere else lol. Food is good, but that place needs a deep clean and new food items.

Went to eat online it says they close at 9:30 it's 4:00. Walked in the door was open and there is fresh food all in the buffet. Was told they are not open let them know online it says they are. Their reply was well we are not. The need to fix their business hours online and customer service.

Food was cold, owners were yelling at each other and the kids in a foreign language being extremely loud while patrons were trying to eat in peace. In addition to the food being cold, it was also not good at all. Let's not forget the mention the restrooms that were as clean as any gas station bathroom. The entire restaurant was very filthy with years of dust stuck to the ceilings. All in all I have no clue why anyone in their right mind would pay the ridiculous price for subpar food at a filthy establishment like this. We wouldn't again. If there is an upside, we didn't get food poisoning which was a concern with the food temps.

Been coming here for a long time, I've heard they got a new cook, they need another. Almost all the food seems like it has been marinated in sugar. EVERYTHING. I have never had noodles taste like straight sugar before, it was 5 pm when we went in and some things looked as if they had been there for a while. I can honestly say it will be a long time before I'm back.

My first time at Panda Buffet. It had a good selection of food for a smaller buffet snd the food was fresh and the service was good. Overall I thought it was a good value for the price.
