It was nice to find a Chinese restaurant with delivery service around here. I have ordered a few times now through Unilocal and it has been a positive experience. I have sampled a few dishes and the flavors have been quite good. I will be ordering again soon I am sure. I can recommend the crab rangoon especially. It seems in our global food age that one can always find decent Chinese food no matter where you find yourself.

I really enjoyed Panda Buffet! Ordered delivery thru Unilocal,worked great. I love the layout and ease of placing orders! Delivery did take about 40 minutes but it was well worth it. My apartment complex is pretty confusing but the delivery guy called and made sure he was headed the right way. I got chicken fried rice and Rangoon’s. The Rangoon’s were huge and tasted amazing! The chicken fried rice was wonderful, a huge portion for how much I spent. I had enough leftover for lunch the next day. I will most definitely be ordering again.

I read the great reviews about restaurant, but most were for take out or delivery. I decided to try buffet on a lunch break. The buffet looked clean and food looked hot. Sadly most of the choices on buffet were not hot, warm at best. Surprisingly the best thing I had was the hot and sour soup, and spring rolls. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I would probably say next time order from menu or for take out/delivery.

Ordered delivery to my hotel room. The egg drop and chicken rice soups weren’t good. The chicken fried rice was just okay. I was able to eat the beef broccoli, so I didn’t starve. Overall I was not impressed. My coworker also ordered food through their delivery service and had similar reviews.

OMG I finally ordered from here because I discovered they delivered. I ordered using Unilocal which was a first for me and if I can find a way to review it I will. The cool part is you get an order number and email with order information. I ordered for lunch on a Monday at 1130am. The jeer took about 45 mins to arrive. I was impressed and got the Happy family which has scallops. Lobster. Shrimp. Chicken. Beef, pork, mushrooms and veggies. Then I got steamed dumplings, crab Rangoon and rice came with it. The order came with fortune cookies and tons of sauces and supplies. The food; Happy family order has scallops. Lobster. Shrimp. Chicken. Beef, pork, mushrooms and veggies. This is an amazing dish with a great sauce on it. Full to the brim and then some. You could seriously share it with 2 or so people. The lobster is rolled and delicious, shrimp is huge(I was expecting baby shrimp), meats are cooked well and not over cooked, veggies are great crisp but in a good way. The steamed dumplings are great and tasty. They have a great spice to them and come with an amazing sweet tasty sauce. Dumpling has a delicious meaty filling with some veggies and spices. The crab Rangoon is crispy and cooked great complete with filling that is to die for. Sadly the rice is plain but added to other items it’s great. Plain rice is usually boring though. The order comes with sauces galore and silverware, napkins and of course fortune cookies. I’ll be honest I didn’t try the mustard or hot sauce(allergy to mustard and well hot sauce and I don’t like each other). The soy sauce is great and fresh and not too salty for soy sauce. The duck sauce however is my personal favorite but I love duck sauce if I could bottle it I would. Lol. Perfectly sweet in every way and I’ll put it on everything. Fortune cookies are amazing and fresh and of course have great advice. Lol Downsides; The online order menu does not describe dishes but the delivery comes with a paper menu that does help so your first order is hit or miss. The happy family dish is so full the sauce leaks out and makes everything extremely sticky. If you don’t mind sticky it’s great I however will need a shower after eating. Just so you know; The orders are huge and being honest I didn’t expect it. You could split this order between two or three people and have leftovers. Enjoy :)

In town for business and was looking for some asian food and I searched on Unilocal and saw great reviews for Panda Buffet. We arrived and the food was okay. Some of it could have been warmer. Quite the crowd for lunch. Less than $ 8 for all you can eat. I’ll be back.

We look forward to coming to The Panda Buffet, the food is cooked fresh and meat tender, veggies crisp, food hot. The cook goes the extra mile to give his best, you CAN really taste the difference to other Chinese restaurants. We highly recommend this restaurant for your Chinese crave. Priced just right, especially for lunch.

First time we ate, it tasted delicious. But, my in my visit this week, I noticed hair/feather on my fried chicken. I realized that they did not remove the feathers on the chicken properly and it’s very disgusting. Along with that we saw a larvae stage of a centipede worm on my tiramisu. I will not go to this place again.

My husband and I had the buffet as an early dinner before a movie on a Monday. We were greeted and welcomed at the door. We decided on the buffet vs the menu. food very fresh and waiter was very attentive. 4 stars because air conditioning was out!

We absolutely have rated Panda Buffet the BEST oriental food in Las Cruces. It took awhile to get our order delivered, but i place the blame on myself for ordering during rush hour traffic. When it did arrive, it was hot, delicious, inexpensive and worth the wait. Kudos to a great delivery option in the Las Cruces area.

This is the best Chinese buffet I find in the Las Cruces. First time I came here, and try to find some hometown food. I’m so happy to find it. Because I’m from China. I know what is the traditional food in china. If u like Chinese food, come here. It’s cheaper, and also u can taste great food. I want I can come back next time coming Las Cruces.

My family and I love this place. The food is always great and we’ve never had a bad experience. The price is wonderful for the quantity of food one gets. We don’t have any experience dining in, but for those on the go, I recommend this place.

My wife and I ate the Lunch Buffet. Our first visit. First the service was outstanding and the young man running the dining room was attentive and checked on us several times, 5 stars for service. The facility was clean and had nice décor. Another reviewer compared them to Empire, Empire is several times larger and has a Sushi bar included in the buffet and a greater selection of food. The quality of the food was fine but not outstanding. They did not have much in the line of seafood but that might be a dinner item. Like a lot of Chinese restaurants no tartar sauce for the fish. The one issue was they were slow to fill empty pans and the fish was refilled just as we were finishing our meal, is just had a few scraps during our entire meal. This was the one issue we had with this restaurant. They do offer a discount for seniors. All in all a nice small buffet but the replacement of empty pans could use improvement.
