Panda Buffett

Crossing Pennsylvania on route 80 is a long drive and it can be a challenge to find good food stops outside the usual fast food chains. Panda Gourmet was a pleasant surprise for a quick and tasty dinner stop. The location is 2 minutes from the highway in a shopping center. We arrived shortly after 4 pm when they opened for the buffet, so everything was hot and fresh. There is even a made to order hibachi station similar to Mongolian grill restaurants. Service was fast and courteous. The restaurant is very clean.

Not bad. We've been there twice during peak hours and the food has not disappointed. It's your standard Chinese buffet fair but the meat isn't dried out or overcooked like some places do. No mac n cheese for the kids and no weekend crab legs. It's not much to look at from the outside so I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised by the inside. Another plus both times we ate there neither me or the old man had to make a mad dash for the crapper when we got home, and we at the same things we usually eat at other buffets.
