"Firstly, I normally do not go out of my way to give negative reviews. I only do so rarely and if I feel that there is a very good reason for it. I DO want to say that the people there are very friendly. The manager/owner greeted me pleasantly and thewaitresses were also very nice. Normally I go to Pan Asia Buffet off of Nordahl drive in front and to the left of Walmart. Thefood there is exquisite EVERY time! Ironically, the people there are not terribly friendly, but the food is absolutelyexcellent! However, I was tired after working today, and my bank is in the same parking lot as Panda Garden (Citibank by DelTaco) I didn't feel like going all the way across town to the always dependable Pan Asia Buffet, so I thought that well since Iam here, why not... I ordered the very simple honey spicy shrimp with a few added pieces of chicken. Both the shrimp and thechicken were SUPER tough and hard and I could honestly barely chew them. I ate about 1/3 of my dinner and I just could NOTfinish it. It was so awful, I didn't really want to take the rest of it home. I politely told the waitress, almostapologetically, that the food was just too tough and I couldn't finish it. Interestingly, NO apologies were given, NO comments,NOTHING... AND, to add insult to injury, even though I left about 2/3 of the food on the table, they still had the nerve tocharge me full price WITHOUT ANY APOLOGY, COMMENT, NOTHING! So, I quietly paid the $20 or so for about 5 or 6 pieces of tough,almost inedible chicken and shrimp. I see people go in there, and I guess they have their regulars. I can't imagine WHAT thehell they order, but what I had was truly atrocious AND I really did NOT appreciate that they made absolutely NO effort even toapologize or adjust the price, again, NOTHING! So, I felt that I really had to come here and leave this review. I just simplywill NEVER EVER go there again. I will make the drive across town to the Pan Asia Buffet, no matter HOW blood"

"Disappointing! I have been going here for years and have always been happy with the quality and flavor of their dishes but over the last year to year and a half I've been disappointed. I have gotten the chicken Lo Mein and there were hardly any vegetables in it. The egg rolls used to be plump and juicy with a great crispy exterior. Now, there is hardly anything in them except layers of dough and not even enough filling for a dumpling wrap. This evening I got Orange Chicken which is supposed to come with broccoli. I asked for extra steamed broccoli and I guess extra means 2 additional small pieces because there were 4 small pieces under what was supposed to be chicken. Now let's talk chicken. This dish is made with chicken thighs. I know for a fact because this is what I buy at my butcher that they are not that expensive. I bit into a piece of this chicken(? and it looked as if it was an entire piece of breading so I dissected a few chicken(? pieces and low and behold I found the chicken! It was cubed, about a quarter of an inch piece that must have had 3 layers of breading because this quarter of an inch piece was about an inch and a half across which required at least 3 bites. I'm sad because the flavor was spot on but I can not justify paying for a dinner that doesn't even have the protein from one chicken thigh in it and 4 tiny florets of broccoli. I guess it's time to make it at home as I won't be going back to my favorite little take out spot. This is just too sad."
