Reviews in York

Food and service was amazing. Lovely friendly place

I reserved our table online which was easy to do via the website. We were greeted when we arrived by friendly staff. The menu offered a good range and variety of meals at reasonable prices. The service was good, there were lots of staff happy to help. The only small improvements I would like to see are cotton napkins instead of paper, mints/chocolates with the bill.

smithyYork York, United Kingdom 12067 Reviewed yesterday 10 out of 10 If there's a better Chinese Restaurant I don't know of it ! Maxis is amazing - The atmosphere, the lovely friendly staff and most of all THE FOOD !! My wife and I had the Special Lunch for just under £13 each. I had Veg hot and sour soup followed by beef curry with boiled rice. My wife had chicken in blackbean sauce with egg rice all followed by chinese tea. 10 out of 10 for everything and it won't be long before we go back :)

Food nice. Although maybe don't need to wrap the gyros in paper. Service slow. Took a while to get a drink. Wasn't particularly busy, so no reason to be a slow process. Found it odd that we got took a table in a room on our own, I immediately said why would you sit us in here on our own when there were several tables in the main area. She said I'd thought you like a quiet area to yourselves! As I was with my friend we weren't there for a romantic meal! We did move but the waitresses was clearly not happy. Asked for the bill + gave up in the end + went to the bar. Shame as this use to be a great place to go.

We came her to celebrate 3 family birthdays, a fact that I only mentioned in passing when I made our booking. The staff were amazing, friendly, very efficient and helpful. The selection of food as always really enjoyable and very varied. Imaging my surprise when I was told that my grandson who's birthday is was would eat for free, and that my little grand daughter was half price. Then to add to that at the end of our meal we were presented with 3 little birthday cakes, which we then took home. We were really surprised that the birthdays were not only remembered but celebrated with us. Cannot say thank you enough to the staff for a really great evening

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!
