Review: Panda Buffett

[Beyond Belief]

I have driven by the Panda Buffet since it opened and always saw the parking lot nearly full. So I finally got to try it last Friday night. I can honestly say that it was the worst food I have eaten in quite some time. It didn't help that it extremely dirty as food was all over the floor and when I peaked into the kitchen it was worse. I can't believe people would go back to such a disgusting place.

I love Chinese food, but typically hate Chinese buffets. This is why.

[Ashamed]

I ate there once and the food was cold and not very good. It concerned me that the temperature of the food may allow food poisoning. I too don't see what people see in their food. The price is much higher than other buffets.

i have ate there several timews and it was great. dont know what happened. it has been real good everytime i have been there......

[Food Critic]

Yuk, nasty and any other word you can imagine. I could not even chew the stuff. I don't understand the crowd either.

[Henry Timberlake]

Incredible amount of selection at a reasonable price. Hope to go back soon and enjoy a good, hot, tasty meal!

i have ate at the panda buffet 2 or 3 times.i stuffed myself every time..no complaints here.the place isnt nasty,, the food isnt cold(just go to mcdonalds if you want to see nasty) and they closed dinner bell down for being nasty.the thing i dont understand is why people go out to eat ,,then constantly complain about the food.i have been out with ppl that have asked me to go with them ..instead of having a time to talk and catch up on things.. they immediately start the complaining bit..ruined the whole evening

I have been to this restaurant a few times and I have found the food to be wonderful and the price reasonable comsidering they have quite a few shrimp dishes.

[Horribly Sick]

I ate there for my dad's birthday and all was well, the food didn't taste that bad, some was worse than others but it wasn't that bad. We finished dinner around 7pm and I was fine until around 12am. My heart started beating really really fast, I couldn't breathe, and my stomach started aching. Needless to say, I got food poisoning from their food. I do NOT recommend this place, I've been sitting in the bathroom MISERABLE for the past hour and my stomach STILL hurts. I hate this place, NEVER will I go back.

LC is one of the worst places to eat out in the US

Stay Away!!!!!

the people are mutants with strange red diseases all over their bodies...GROSS!!!!!

Most likely victims of some bizarre oakridge experiment

Of course in LC they just say it was The Lord's Will that they be stricken down

Panda buffet was a real treat. Bathrooms were something I saw in a creature of the black lagoon movie.. Oscar from sesame street would have moved out of his garbage can to find this place more cozy. If you're a sucker for bland food and poor service... you gotta try this place.. to be fair the snap peas and macoroni & cheese wwere good.

[surprised]

i think these reviews are stupid. it's a buffet, of course there's going to be some food on the ground, it happens. depending on when you go you'll get cold food sometimes too. it's been good everytime i have gone, they have alot of options, a cook on the spot, sushi, and decent service. try it once during prime buffet hours (lunch-dinner times) and you'll like it too. of course that is if you aren't expecting a five star meal like some idiots.

[Satisfied]

We have eaten at the Panda Buffet several times and the staff is always courteous and helpful, the food has always been just fine, the variety is pretty spectacular, and the price is about what you would expect for a buffet. Perhaps some of the people making harsh comments have eaten at more expensive restaurants and expect the same service/quality, while paying less than half what the expensive restaurants charge. The selection of foods enables families to go because there seems to be something for everyone. It is large enough for small group gatherings and still small enough for a couple or family. I give this small business a lot of credit for trying to establish themselves in this growing community, and it appears from the nearly full parking lot that they are succeeding nicely.

We eat there regularly and enjoy the variety and taste of the food. The price is right for the selection offered. But, the last time we were in there the bathrooms did need some attention.

Sorry you don't like Lenoir City or christians. Maybe people should be more like you: critical, negative, hateful, & intolerant.
I can see why you want to judge us small town and/or religeous types. Who would want to be like us: friendly, down to earth, respectful, hard working, and yes, love & respect for our Creator.

Me, my wife, and our two children eat at Panda Buffet everyother week. They have a very large selection of food and the waitresses are very nice.
My favorite is the Black Pepper Chicken. It is hands down the best Black Pepper Chicken I have ever had.
Food-A+ Service-A+ Price-A

It is sad you don't know the lord, for he knows you & loves you inspite of your feelings, he died for us all you included.

and for the record God does not cause anyone to be
stricken down with anything that is the devil's work.

[Joe Blue Collar]

I eat there all the time. The black pepper chicken is delicious. The price is ok. They have a big selection of hot food and it's always pretty good.

I'm not a picky eater though and I don't drive a brand new car. I rent in Farragut and I think I know what kind of people are leaving 'bad' reviews.

If you sit at a desk bankrupting companies all day you might be disappointed.

If you work and contribute to society then you'll be content with their big selection of great food and reasonable prices.

My husband and I love the place. Every time we have been there it was great.It is way better than the one by Walmart.
