Reviews in York

Great food and friendly staff.

This was our 2nd visit and again it didn't disappointed, well lit atmosphere within the restaurant very friendly staff, service superb, excellent selection of dishes to choose from will definitely recommend

Having eaten at many all you can buffets Panda Mami is one of the top. The place was clean, food was good and was well presented with plenty of choice. The price was however among the highest I've paid for a buffet. I've had better at a fraction of the price, even in big cities. My partner and I went midweek so it was quiet, I can't imagine what chaos it is in there on a busy time. Staff were efficient on the floor but chefs didn't seem in too much of a hurry to prepare the food available on the grill/hotplate. Overall enjoyed and came away well fed.

First time visiting a Panda Mami restaurant. Went over lunch time. Slow filling up empty trays/dishes, didn't look like there was 120+dishes from around the world - mostly asian or Indian foods available. Pizzas overfilled with garlic. Staff were friendly and quick to collect used plates.

Had a fantastic evening, the food was outstanding with so much choice. The desserts were to die for. Thank you so much. If I could give 6/5, I would do.

Even though we had booked the Baltimore next door there was a good atmosphere in Oscars with a mix of ages both eating and drinking. The staff were friendly and service was good. There was an issue with my dish but this was quickly dealt with and our food was delicious. A nice evening had.

Only the second time ive been and didnt dissapoint really, family of 4 dining on a weekend food was excellent. The staff were always smiling and clearing empty plates quickly they were engaging with my little ones which was nice for them, the food was nice and hot the crispy duck was amazing. Was worried that the chocolate fountain wasnt on but turns out the machine was not functioning well so after they sorted it all was good i would only recommend they have marshmallows to go with it. Ice cream was more like ice but i wasnt interested in the ice cream. All the other selections of puddings were very indulgent. I would recommend to anyone who would to try all different foods.

Great value, excellent service, good food & extensive variety

Been going to this fabulous buffet restaurant in York for many years (originally ‘ Cosmo’) and it is always a great pleasure and delight to eat there. The variety of dishes on offer is amazing - something to suit everyone’s taste - staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive and a visit to Panda Mami is an experience more than just eating out. Prices have increased over the past couple of years, but it still offers good value for money.

We like the food at PandaMami very much, especially my sons. We drove about 40 miles there several times and were happy with the effort. Last time, it was my younger son's birthday, and the nice staff provided a delicious birthday cake. It was an impressive experience indeed.

We had another great meal at Maxi's - kids, adults and a grandparent. They were good with allergies and a good selection for vegetarians. The service was excellent and they were on the ball with what we were celebrating. We ate on a Tuesday so it was naturally quiet, but that suited us. It isn't cheap to eat there but you get fantastic quality. Thank you!

We attended for a meal at York restaurant. The guy who greeted us was so lovely and attentive. We went for my mums birthday and he came out after our meal with a cake and sang happy birthday. Im ashamed I didn't get his name, but he was a true a professional and gave us a lovely memory. Food was also really good, and we all left with smiles and full bellies.

Excellent attentive service. Fantastic value with an multitude of dishes to suit all tastes. We will definitely be back.

The food was excellent, such a vast choice and the tastes were superb. We particularly enjoyed the sushi; the maki rolls were stunning. The staff were friendly and accommodating, they cleared the tables as soon as you had finished your plates. The atmosphere in the evening was delightful and welcoming. The amazing amount of cakes was mind blowing. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and if back in York again would definitely re-visit.

Me and my wife visited on the night time and this place is amazing. Great value for money with so many food options and the staff are super friendly definitely be visiting again

Fantastic service from emailing when booking table to service on the day. Great food . Good time had by us all

As always, a great value lunch, particularly as it was York Restaurant Week (2-4-£20). However, not the usual large selection, and some dishes looked a bit tired. We knew their opening hours were until 1500, but they started closing serveries (all deserts gone!) at 1430 and kicked us out dead on 1500, so all a bit rushed at the end. Staff were trying to be accomodating and apologetic, but they could have explained the timings when we arrived at 1315. Also, a strange extra £1.20 added to the bill, which they explained as 'service charge', but 3% seems an odd amount! We left a few quid for the server anyway, but I think it's all combined/shared.
