We hadn't visited this restaurant in a while, and once we were there, we remembered why. Buffets are difficult to keep clean. While the food offerings were numerous, the variety good, we couldn't help but notice some issues with the "self-service". In particular, the ice cream. The buckets are so low, one has to really bend over to reach them. Consequently, several people's hair was hanging over the buckets of ice cream. We did not partake. I would suggest to the management they either try to raise the buckets to a more manageable height, or, station a server there, with a hair net, so it is no longer self serve.

We ate at this location on Mothers Day, arriving right when they opened. Panda Express is a "buffet style" with a lot of choices. They will give you a sample to help you decide what you want. The food is fresh and the staff is very attentive.

We stopped by for lunch and asked specifically if they served sweet and sour pork. They had it on the buffet. The waitress quickly went to the kitchen and returned in a few minutes with a pan of freshly cooked pork. We have been looking at each Chinese restaurant for this dish and everyone tells us that they have sweet and sour chicken only. It was fantastic!
