Panda Garden Buffet

A good amount of hmong style foods... along w chinese foods n I'm lovin it. Highlights for me is the cold chicken, pho, pig trotters, kapoon, n naab vaam. The only thing that didn't do it for me were the crab ragoons i didn't like the wrapping n the cream cheese was dry. Everything w drink for about 24 bucks I think. Go on the weekend dinner if you want to try everything they offer. They seem to be limited on the weekdays.Recommended.

I took two teenagers there on Saturday February 8 2025. I was charged $75, which would be a crime anywhere but even worse here because the restaurant is FILTHY and the food was barely edible. Even the teenagers had no appetite for the food.

It's a buffet so I never have cover much. The chicken curry noodle (kapoon) is as actually more flavorful than I expected, however I like mine more creamy so I could have used more coconut milk. The Thai boat noodle was a bit water down for my liking. The soup selection was very nice, we didn't get to try all of them. The selection of food was what you would expect. There are a couple Hmong dishes, the cold chicken, pig feet and knuckle (kind of disappointing they didn't just make it into sweet pork). The papaya salad was very bland, the Hmong pepper was good, could have been more spicy. The location has a big parking lot, the inside was a typical buffet setup. Very dim lighting. The staff doesn't interact much with you at all. When you arrive they give you your utensil and you seat yourself where ever. They come around to pick up your used dishes but thats it. It's unfortunate, I don't think anyone check on us at all to make sure everything was ok. I understand that it's a buffet so everything is self serve, but it was honestly the weirdest experience not having any interaction with the staff. The most interaction was when I was ordering my noodles.Also, they close at 8 PM everyday. The will no longer seat customers after 7PM so if you wish to dine in, make sure you arrive early. Probably won't go back, I wanted to try and support but it's just not what I expected. Best of luck to them.

Food was okay. There are some options you don't typically get at other buffets so that ups the star factor by one. My favorite part is the build your own Tricolor dessert drink. The place could use more seating as it gets crowded and the line moves slowly. The staff were kind enough. The dining room is a bit dingy though but staff worked to clean up as best they could with how busy they were. The fish pond seemed low in water and had a lot of algae.

Solid buffet with reasonable prices offering Chinese and Hmong fare. Small selection, but they were items I like to eat so no complaints from me. A little dingy, but its a cheap AYCE buffet spot so it's in-par with expectations. It gets pretty busy but staff clears the tables quickly. I need to go back and try the pho bar, but I was on a time crunch so just stuck to the mains and enjoyed the shrimp and pork options.

Not a fan of this place. Food is bland but I like the options. Wished it was a little more flavorful.

This place is seriously underrated! I love how you can get both Chinese and Hmong food at this buffet which was so surprising and nice for me because this side of the cities don't usually have a lot of Hmong food options (at least compared to St. Paul). There is both a DIY pho bar (Hmong style) and tri color dessert bar which makes it fun. For other Hmong food options there is Lao style papaya salad, boiled chicken and yes even Hmong pepper!Everything is pretty much self serve including drinks. I do agree that some of the dishes weren't fresh looking or needed to be filled but also it was just starting to get busy so I think they were just keeping an eye out to not waste food. I think for the price and location- I was pleasantly impressed and will be back.

Great variety of good tasting food. We always enjoy eating here. Everything has been fresh every time. We will go again soon.

Bad service Food was a 2/10Cups and plates were dirty and even found hair on the plate before I even started to serve myselfAssociates were just starring and felt uncomfortable to even dine in there.

Hmong buffet! They have papaya salad, sticky rice (ask the person who distributes the pho broth), pork belly (dinner menu), Hmong sausage, pho, curry, and make-your-own tri-color! Fun American dishes for the kids such as: cheese pizza, chicken wings, and ice cream (and not the soft serve kind; the real deal in an ice cream freezer). Food tastes fresh and well balanced flavors.Other pluses: big parking lot. Quiet service--if you don't want anyone to bother you, this is a great place to be. It's also nice that you can grab your own drinks so you don't have to wait for a waiter to do it for you. Affordable prices. Remember, this is a buffet, so don't expect high restaurant quality. Perfect to bring your Hmong elders for the crawfish, boiled pork feet, cold boiled chicken, and other Hmong favorites. I don't know any other place that does a Hmong buffet, so this is my new favorite place to go to. It was a genius idea for whoever to decide to make the menu Hmong based since there's no other place like it.
