Panda Panda Panda Panda Pan-Pan-DA! (sorry, now that Deerhoof song is in my head)
Sort of in a hurry for food last night because my child does not yet understand the meaning of waiting and we were in the area. So.... Panda Buffet it was.
I'm pretty sure you can order from a menu OR get buffet. We opted for the buffet (horrifying, I know) because it was faster and child of mine was wasting away to nothing.
I would say, next time I'll order from the menu because the buffet was alllll kinds of scary. It might be good if you're brave and if you know how to not vomit or spit out food when you get something gross or questionable. The buffet had tons of options and some of the stuff was pretty good. Others... well, let's just say don't eat the wonton or potstickers. Both had mystery meat in them. Any seafood they offered was much less than fresh. I steered clear of that because I was not in the mood to be hooked up to IV fluids.
Service was good. The girls that work there are nice. They love babies and didn't give me the stink-eye when my kid was being a bit noisy.
I would probably go back because I'm adventurous and because the few things that were actually edible on the buffet were totally worth the 9 bucks for all you can eat. Plus there was ice cream.
