Frequently asked questions about Panda Buffet
Panda Buffet Alpine Reviews
I really liked the food here. The prices were AWESOME. So affordable! I ordered the egg roll and Chow Mein. I really enjoyed my food. The service was quick and effective. My only ding would come from the atmosphere/interior. The restaurant was a little run down on the inside. That being said I loved my food and had leftovers for later.
The food is great and made fresh to order I really enjoyed the honey chicken I got and the fryed dumplings were great too. And the rice that came with is great. All and all I definitely will be going again.
Edit/Update: I am still so glad they reopened Panda. The food is so good and comforting. I'm still very glad this family is part of our community again. Thank you for the delicious fried rice and soup🥣 Keep up the great work. PREVIOUS REVIEW: Yay, I'm glad Panda is open again. I missed this place and even though we don't know each other personally I missed this family. Glad they are back. Thank you for the good food again!
Family owned, food comes out hot and fresh. Typically order house special lo mein or house special fried rice. Always enjoy.

The food is good and affordable. The lunch and dinner specials are well priced and delicious. Really love this place.
Classic fast food Chinese fare. Nice, local people.
The place was closed and my boyfriend knocked on the door and was greeted by the owner. He said they were closed and my boyfriend begged for food to go cause I was craving Chinese food. The owner was so kind and opened the door and made our order to go for us! The food was delicious!!! We live in Terlingua so it was a big deal for us down here!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and the delicious food!! It satisfied everything for me!! We will definitely be back, not at closing time next time!!! 🥰
Great to eat in or take out. Always happy with the food and portions. Favorites include sesame chicken, garlic chicken, cheese wontons, fried dumplings, beef lo mein, and egg drop soup ❤️
Delicious food and plenty of it! Very clean, peaceful atmosphere. Very reasonable prices.
Panda Buffet was very good. Ordered take out for the first time. Great portions and still warm after my 20 minute drive home.
We ordered 4 entrees to split between the 5 of us and a small soup for each. Food was delicious and all of us were full with leftovers to take home for a midnight snack.

I don't know what that other person was talking about 😨 but I think the kid was exellent worker got my order and my girls and my mother and excellent service and I would love to come back again great atmosphere and perfect service glad that the panda is back .
This is an awkward place for us. By the name, Panda Buffet, one would expect a buffet. We found a spot to park an rv, and got in, the host seated us, and handed us a menu. Not a huge deal, ordered food, and waited. Normal takeout menu, and it was very affordable. When our food comes out, every single thing is packaged to go. We look around, and all of the guest are like this. Just odd. Food was average, but very fresh.

Food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. They have never gotten our order wrong. Large generous portions.
Service was nice. Food was excellent. Place isn't a buffet anymore due to Covid we were told. The place looks a tad run down but clean and the food makes up for it. We enjoyed it while visiting Aline.

The food is pretty good.The service was great. We were passing through and decided to stop. Im glad we did
Oh man the food was bad, bad, bad! I’ve never met a plate I can’t finish and I didn’t finish any of it. I tried the beef and broccoli, the orange chicken and beef onion mix. The beef tasted way off! The orange sauce was terrible. I’ve never had orange sauce like that. The spring roll was NASTY. I’ve never left that much food untouched in my life. The rice was even bad. It’s not a buffet and it’s not a place to ever come to. The people were friendly but the food was gross. 🤮 the wait staff was children, probably 13/14. Very young but he was kind. I can’t get over how bad the food was. Never ever again.
There is no buffet. The teriyaki chicken appetizer was average. The main meal appeared to be prepackaged in plastic containers and most likely heated in a microwave. The server was friendly and courteous. The atmosphere was dull. There are better places in the area to eat. Not Recommended.
