Panda Buffet - Galesburg (IL)

2 /5 Arnie Gonzalez: I went early enough, 6:45pm when they close at 9pm. Many dishes were depleted and not replenished, even if what was left was dried up from sitting. I enjoyed the items left such as frog legs (I had the last 2) and lo mein. I felt bad for a family that was getting there at 7:30pm. Not much food choices would be there. Service was not very attentive. I had to get their attention to refill my drink. There were only 3 other tables/diners at the time. While workers were not replenishing dishes, they were mopping the main floor by 7:30pm. Not safe for walking and I felt like I was ruining their clean floor. They were quick to leave the bill and pick it up. This was my second time trying this place. The first time was exactly the same but I thought it was because I was there after 8pm and I understood why the food trays were empty and not being refilled. But with over 2 hours until closing and 6:45 not being terribly late for a dinner hour I have to believe this would be the same if I returned. In today’s economy I cannot feel good about spending over $20 for the food, soda, and tip when there were so many empty food trays, and it’s a buffet. The service would be taking the empty plates and keeping the drinks filled. And mopping the buffet floor and the floor leading to the dinning room was just bad customer service. (Note: the first time I didn’t realize it was so late as I had been moving all day and up until then. When I realized the time I finished my plate and left.)

1 /5 Dalton Keith: Worst Chinese food i ever had. The chicken is cheap nasty frozen breaded chicken taste and texture is horrid. Some of the highest priced i ever had at $15 for a tiny to go plate. Literally everything was disgusting avoid this place if you can.a bread sandwich would be much tastier.

1 /5 TripN With Red: This is usually our favorite place to eat but we made the mistake of going at 7:30pm when they close at 9 pm. Nothing was replenished since supper, trays were empty, the fried rice was crunchy from sitting so long, the honey chicken and pineapple chicken were dried out and hard and the potsticker I put on my plate was so hard I couldnt bite it. I felt bad for the family of 5 that showed up as we were leaving. We paid $50 for the worst meal Ive had in a very long time. If you are looking for a meal later than about 6pm, look anywhere else.

5 /5 Rikkie Spencer: We visit the buffet frequently. We enjoy the Sushi bar and the soups, mostly egg drop soup. Great service. We had peanut chicken, salmon, vegetable rice, butter mushrooms. We would enjoy different items once in a while, it is the same all the time.

5 /5 Rob Cook: Food was delicious hot and trays were kept full. They have chicken so many ways it was a delight to try them all. Very well maintained and the layout was was very good. The staff was very attentive for refills of drinks. We sat and chatted with our company ate the great food. Anyone who claims that it is questionable about food temps or cleanness is lying. Staff was on top of clean and clearing dishes. This will be a regular stop for me and my family.
