Mama Panda in Fort St John

Its fine.

Decent buffet. Price is reasonable.

Place was pretty good. Showed up a little before closing but still they had a good selection

This is a great place for Chinese American Food. Their buffet has a great selection. Whenever we are in FSJ we stop here for Sunday noon buffet. Its worth the visit.

Great and friendly service. Good is fresh and delicious.

Food was ok nothing great for the the price they charge also do not have a huge selection. And desserts are pretty much non existent. Not worth the price they charge at all. Would not recommend to anyone. Parking also sucks.

Absolutely horrible experience. Ordered a 4 item combo on DoorDash - my order was completely wrong. I first called to let them know the order was wrong after spending a pretty penny, and they hung up on me. I called again, was on hold 5 minutes for them to come on and tell me it was going to be another hold as they need to go to the bathroom. Disgusting. They proceeded to say they will not fix my order and that I can reach out to DoorDash to get a refund on the wrong order Mama Panda provided. I never dealt with worst customer service than I have with this place, as it was my first time even ordering from here. Will not be back - and I will make sure anyone I know will not buy from here.

The only place in fort Saint John where I dont feel I am being robbed. The price really equals the amount of food I get, I give honest reviews. Right of the bat when I receive my order and lift the bag it is 3 times heavier than anywhere else for the same amount of money I would pay other restaurant. Not only that, tasty as well. Id give 6/5 stars if I could

Just like I remember. I like the consistency.

Went with a large group for a staff party. The buffet was well stocked and the kitchen was still able to accommodate orders off the menu as well for those with special dietary needs. Food was excellent as always and the staff were great. Dietary restrictions: Kitchen has limited options but several menu items can be made gluten free.

a little expensive for this food 30$

Great food and service

FIX your mobile app!

Food was good very tasty and clean and delicious and good service

Always a good choice

Chow mein was ok..deep fried prawns inedible...and sweet and sour pork was hard

I ordered pick up so I couldnt really comment on the atmosphere however I did notice it was very busy. The hostess who took my order was super friendly and efficient. When I picked up my order it was piping hot and the flavors were very enjoyable. I have ordered from here before and will definitely return. Thanks for such great food and friendly service.

Best Chinese food in Fort Saint John. Good service & prices plus fresh not over cooked selection for buffet. Even had fresh flowers on tables which is nice.

Rude! I have been in to this restaurant a few times mostly for their buffet. Three or four months ago, I wanted to order One Ton soup for take out. I went to their take out counter but I was told they were too busy for just soup. Ive never been back since.

staff was good and on point. foods not bad.

Not too much, but enough to be full. Everything looks clean and fresh. Thank you

Great place for family dinners

Food is very good

Went at 5:45 on Easter Sunday, buffet had been out for sometime by the texture of the fried rice, or it wasn t cooked, mussels were good, very few vegetables to chose from in buffet. Beef dish wasn t edible either, not sure it was even beef, maybe an old rodeo bull if it was. Restaurant is Definitely not up to standards IMO

We had the lunch buffet today. Everything was very fresh and tasty. I always recommend the teriyaki chicken.

great chinese food buffet. not overly greasy. honey garlic pork was not my favorite. ginger beef was good and chop suey vegetables were fresh &crisp

Very poor quality

Excellent customer service. The ladies are very friendly. Our server Irene was amazing. She went above and beyond to serving us. The food was delicious and freshly cooked. We really enjoyed the buffet it was my moms and my nephews joint birthday celebration. Nonetheless, they surprised them with cake and ice cream will come back again when we are in the area.

Smorg was ok but not hot.

Bestest food in town. Come here everytime I pass through.

Always good food. Just getting too expensive for myself personally.

Foods always good beef with black bean sauce rice side awsome food

Place is amazing

It seems the price has sky rocketed and the quality has plummeted. I hate that I will never order from here again.

Smorgasbord is not true Chinese but it is a nice variety. Parking: In front Wheelchair accessibility: 2 spots right outside the front door!

Portion was good, breaded chicken

Great buffet

Everything tastes the same deep-fried and greasy Way too expensive for what they offer on the buffet for dinner Definitely the restaurant has gone downhill. Food : 1/5

Service was okay. We were a large group. Vegetarian options: They had some but sent wrong order first time Food : 4/5 |

The food was sub par. Not the eat in place that charges a premium for buffet. I hope it gets better soon.

Pretty good food all round buffet well stocked

Good place, but my wifes chicken balls and mine with both raw, which is concerning, considering my wife is pregnant

Parking is hell but everything else is great!

Amazing dine in area

Foods taste, is different every month specially chapsoey. Too much salt even. Vegetables overcooked. Dont follow delivery time.

Always the best in town!

Food was much better then I remember. There was hair in the food and food on the table that wasnt able to be wiped away. Pricey but worth the cash

Smorgasburg is back and just as delicious as ever....soft icecream would have been a nice touch( hint hint)..all in all, Ill be back!

One of the best Chinese food in Town. Really love the food and staff working over there is really awesome. Would love to visit again and again.

Big thumbs up to Rod he always goes above and beyond, always smiling and very quick to serve.

Great service and good food.

Buffet was great.

Excellent food and service as usual

Pretty good dine in smorgasbord dinner, food all tastes pretty fresh.

Im almost here _ Every other day what can I say ?? Good Service and Awesome food _ the CHICKEN is a must TRY Good atmosphere and clean *** Koodos to you all staff

Fair price, good food. The deep fried wontons were a little over done and not much in them but main dishes were excellent. Short wait time for take out.

Excellent food

The food is excellent. The service is good. The buffet has a nice selection, all of the food was fresh and hot. Parking is not so good. Everybody has a different type of Chinese food that they like, Mama Panda is the restaurant for my wife and myself. We will be back many times.

Today i ordered the 3 combo from mama panda in fort st john. the chicken chow mein was very dry, no vegetable, no flavour. the fried rice has no salt or flavor and veggies. The chicken was very dry and looks like they brought from chicken strip bag. The lemon chicken has no lemon but only a plum sauce. The chicken tasted like rubber. No Spice , no salt on any food..... I would not recommend this place . I called to complain and the supervisor hanged up on me. Please save your money by avoiding this restaurant !!!!! Very disappointing , very bad food . BEWARE!!!!!!..........

Been going here for years, amazing food

Arrived an hour before theyre closing but they said kitchen is close and they cant serve food anymore... frustrating bcoz we came from a long road trip and really hungry came in no one really welcome us and we have to look for someone to ask if we can order...they have to change their time of service

Great fresh food

Love it ! One of my spots

Food is generally alright, but don t order the deep fried wontons from here. They have absolutely nothing in them, just the batter, that s it. If you want to know what deep fried wontons should look like, order from Sungs.

Lots of choices on the Buffet, service was incredible. Very clean restaurant, always enjoy going here for a meal

Little Disappointed. Found the Menu online ordered Dinner for 8. Went in and the bill was almost $40 more than expected. Brought it to thier attention. She just said oh yay that menu is outdated. Than I was asked if i used the skip menu or thier app? Heaven forbid i use google and a phone. She refused to give me the meal at the online listed price in the menu. Very Dissapointed.

Friendly staff. The buffet was fresh with a decent variety.

walk in, ordered dinner for 2 & wor wonton soup, meal was great but soup had no Wontons, just veggies & a few shrimp, dissapointing, I suggest when ordering take out, check your order before your leave .... found a bunch of wontons at bottom of a 2L container buried under many broceri

Really good chinese buffet. Very satisfying, and great atmosphere.

Friendly service, food is good to.

Best Chinese food in town in business for over 40 years Dietary restrictions: They will cook to your restrictions Parking: Always room Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff Wheelchair accessibility: Marked spaces

Refused to take my order because I informed them i had a minor shellfish allergy that was nothing serious, and that I would prefer if they avoided any cross contamination possible.

This is the best restaurant

Great Food Awesome Service

Fast service , very polite and food was very good.

Very excellent food

This is literally the worst Chinese food you can order. Never have I had something so under cooked and bland. DO NOT ORDER from here

The most dirty disrespectful place I have ever been. And we were picking up order to go. Front was very rude and could barely understand English they spoken. All I could understand was her saying hurry up n buy me supaaa bisy you want wonton fry wrice n fry chicken whnoodle suuup we ended up just walking out with the lady mumbling what sounded like she was saying U TUPID WRITE PEOPLE ALWAY DONT BUY and you go now weee supaaa bisy. Never will I ever lower my standards again.

White-washed Chinese food... Bland and unoriginal. Might as well fry something at your house and itll be mama panda food.

Loved the food! Great, friendly service.

Everything was perfectly fine. Just not as good as it used to be. Quality of food and flavors have definitely gone down from where it used to be.

Thanks for the food poisoning

Paid a 5 $ delivery. For a 30 minute late meal, order at before 4pm. To a hotel 3km. Guess I gave to much notice?

Enjoyed the buffet, some fresh food from salad bar, dessert bar & main buffet.

Great friendly service. Good prices

My food was good but my container had a burn hole on bottom that I did not notice, I noticed when picking the container up as I got sauce all over my table and floor, plz check your take out container before you send out that order...

Most food ok, however their deep fried prawn are subpar at best. For the $17.25 you get 12 small prawns with way to much batter! Seriously outrageous.

the amount of protein is really good. but I did say we are starving truckers and I would of pain extra to fill the last compartment in the diner for one tray/take a way box.

Oh my gawd... The ginger beef is AMAZING

It was very good

Great food. Their soft ice cream machine is hit or miss as it has been out for repair many times when we go there for dinner

Excellent food and service

Good food. Busy enough that the food is fresh.

Very good food, a nice to sit and enjoy a good meal.

Nice place good food.

Good food. All you can eat chinese

The best

Nice place to eat

Its really nice. The food is good, but it can make you sick if you eat to much. There bathrooms are okay.

Excellent food super friendly and fast service

Good evening I m staying in a hotel here in Ft St John, asked the front desk a good Chinese restaurant and was given your info, after an absolutely exhausting day I phoned your restaurant to order and was told I had to download your app to place an order. I said all I want is dinner for 4...was told again you don t take orders over the phone. Exhausted I tried to download your app and it didn t work, several times trying I found another Chinese restaurant that was more than happy to take my order over the phone and deliver it to my hotel. MORAL OF THE STORY...bend a little

Great selection of food and good service

Love the options

Good food

Ran out of some of the dishes and had to wait for them to be refilled

When I was studying abroad at a nearby college, I occasionally went there to eat. It was very delicious. At the time, I was studying English, so I told her that before paying and asked her to speak slowly, and the clerk spoke really slowly. He also gave me his business card and said, ``If you have any problems, please come to me anytime. It was already 10 years ago, but its a store I have fond memories of.

A little pricey for what you get at the buffet but not bad

I ordered the Dinner for Eight for pick up. Tried their mobile app for the first time and it worked splendidly. The food was ready at the prearranged time and was hot and fresh. Ample quantity that satisfied easily. Excellent food and friendly staff. I would recommend the Fort St. John location without hesitation, whether dining in or take-out.

The smorg is very fresh

Good food good service

Typical Canadian Chinese food. Get what you expect. Nothing special here. FSJ Chinese food is all the same. Noodles might vary from place to place but all have same quality

Exquisite & Elegant

Excellent food, excellent service.

Food was absolutely disgusting.... Arrived right when they opened at 1130. Everything extra greasy, flavours in all the types of Chinese foods were bland or off. Buffet was not piping hot despite having only just opened for lunch either. Sauces had skins from sitting. Only thing worth eating was the salad.... Will not return and i do not suggest this place at all. Staff were checking on us less than every 5 minutes as well which was more annoying than helpful considering its a buffet!!!

Would not Accommodate substitute for a Shellfish allergy, made no attempt to contact and sent it to a house with airborne allergies anyways, But its okay... we got a note with the delivery driver saying its not safe to eat. Complete lack of common sense give your heads a shake

Food was almost inedible... chicken balls supper greasy.. everything tasted off... would not recommend to anyone

Cheap eats not that great.

Bthrms were awful

Very not impressed !! Wife and I both found the food cold and very little selection compared to what has been there previously !! At this point we wont be going back there, we used to love that place !! And sorry but we cant reccomend it to no one else !!

While visiting FSJ for a week, I tried to order online through their website. Order would not go through to the restaurant restaurant not responding. So I called. I waited on hold. I talked to a lady who said she couldnt get the order from their system. She took my order over the phone. She said to give them 45 minutes for delivery of a 5 item combination plate. After an hour, I called back. I waited on hold. She rudely told me that my order was already out and I said, its been over an hour. To which she replied that my order was already out and hung up on me. I only gave two stars because my family has been eating at and ordering from Mama Panda for years and I know the food is usually good. If the food shows up tonight, I might already be in bed. My patience is Already OUT. Edit - food showed up 10 minutes after I posted. In a soggy bag. The food was so cold and sad I couldnt eat it. What they sell as an Egg Roll was one soggy, cold Spring Roll. Almond Chicken was a sliced up chicken strip, also cold. Chop Suey was under cooked, steamed broccoli. Noodles were...noodles. Sweet & Sour pork could have come from any freezer section. If they think they can give this kind of service to people staying in hotels because they can get away with it, they are wrong. I will be stopping in there tomorrow to give them their food back.

Best Chinese food in town and great service

Friendly staff, easy to talk to and food was great

Food was good

Consistently good.

Yum! We enjoyed the buffet!

Always a great place to eat! Never have had a bad experience there. Friendly staff, great food.

Excellent Chinese food

Average Chinese food Buffet

Good décor but not as good as at its prime Crisp noodles is awesome

Great place in fort st john to get Chinese buffet right price

Good food. Friendly staff.

Stood for 15mins yesterday to get seated. Not acceptable.

It was a very relaxing dining experience

Gross and overpriced for take out. Rude service on take out side. Buffet looked good, but not allowed to get your take out from that side.

Mama Panda has been in Fort St. John since I was a little girl. They have a good buffet with a decent variety.

Large buffet option for FSJ

Good food

Food was nice. Selection was limited. Different layout than other pandas I have been at

Good all you can eat Buffett! Nice atmosphere!

Clean laid back environment good food

Good food

Mama would be disappointed! Not the best Chinese food at Mama Pandas Fort St John, I ask for no onions and everything comes with onions. So I stopped ordering from this place. prices are high for the small size of portions you get when ordering for take out. They usually answer the phone in a very strange unprofessional way, but thats usually the way it goes in Fort St. John. Improvement in every area is needed before I become a regular customer.

Best smorg in town. Not in BC, or even Northern BC, but best in FSJ and possibly The Peace.
