Merced Grand Buffet

This is one of my favorite Chinese buffet restaurant in town. There are varieties of food, good seafood and all you can eat.
Champion Grill Buffet
475 W Olive Ave, Merced, CA 95348, United States
Champion Grill for me has always been the best Chinese food in Merced County. They offer so much. Even salad that I dont eat because I can eat salad at home. If Im going to a Chinese restaurant Im going to eat Chinese food not American food LOL. Most all their food is really great. This has been for years that I have loved it. They have a grill that you choose your food to have grilled. The orange chicken has been unedible for more than a year. It tastes like they do not rehydrate it correctly. Its like eating dried meat that was frozen. Like jerky. Horrible. Everything else is usually good.Update 8/14/23 five of us went there and there seemed to be so much oil or Grease in everything that we all were sickened by it. None of us ate very much of it. It was horrible that day. I dont know if they had a different cook or what? Somebody needs to get to the bottom of this. This has been my favorite place but this day was a horrible experience with all the food we ate. Even the crab was not creamy it had oil on it instead. Horrible. Somebody went crazy with the oil. Please fix this and respond to me we will not be back until then. And fix that orange chickenUpdate 11/8/23 I went with my brother to get some food he wanted to go here and we got take out. Still the orange chicken is not edible. I submitted a video. But all the meats were kind of dry and hard. But I never get a response so Im guessing champion officials will not even read this. I guess Im going to make panda my new favorite..
Panda Express
1786 W Olive Ave, Merced, CA 95348, United States
Im a frequent flyer at Panda Express and go to both Merced locations a couple of times a week, and Ive done so in the morning, lunch time and early evening. I always walk in and order in real time, never drive thru or via app. That helps avoid portion shrinkage and errors (though I have been shorted before by not checking the order before I left), so I always check my order now. I religiously fill out the online feedback form _every single time_ to let Panda know the highs and lows of each location visit.General observations:Panda is easily the best and price-effective fast food with healthy choices option. IF you have the app and make sure to enter your Panda points and do the online Feedback survey from the code on your receipt. It gives you a coupon for a free small entree. Essentially Ill have enough food for two meals for under $11!Generally the staff is friendly and greet you when you come in at all locations.Ive also been to the Atwater store, and one in Modesto on Hatch. The Modesto one gets bonus points for having really hot and fresh menu items even at 8:30 at night, including the sometimes elusive black pepper chicken entree. At the Merced stores you more often than not have to ask for it to be made. Though I have been told at the Yosemite avenue store at 9:30 that they werent making any more fresh items (and most everything was almost gone even though they are open until 11:00).About this store on Olive -- its hit and miss on service, though the quality of the food is usually good. This one gets extremely busy at times and the staff sometimes looks overwhelmed. This one seems to get a ton of takeout orders.Front of house staff needs more training on handling Pandas own feedback survey coupons program. Customers shouldnt have to escalate to corporate to get something resolved, but I have, when a cashier deducted 750 Panda points from my account without my permission and the manager couldnt restore them.Overall it wont stop me from returning to Panda Express as a go-to because, as I said, the food is tasty and more often than not, piping hot and fresh if you know to go inside and place your order there.Just make sure to use the survey to politely let them know directly how theyre doing re: food quality and recognize the hardworking folks there when things are standout, or need improvement. :)

Panda Express
14480 Merced Ave, Baldwin Park, CA 91706, United States
This is a mixed review.Went to Baldwin Parks Panda Express Saturday night Oct 22nd about 9pm. I started to place my order. However, as I started to order the bowls. Some of the items I requested. Which was walnut shrimp, chow mein, and the ragoons. The associate said were out of that, were out of those too. So I said really you ran out? She said yes. So I order the fried rice in the bowls. As I got to the window to pay I saw some walnut shrimp an employee was placing in a box. I ask the young lady her name was Ashley wait you have walnut shrimp and she said yes it just came out. I said the lady that took my order said you were out. I then asked if they had chow mein and ragoons. She said yes, but theyre cooking them and will be ready in about 5 mins. I said why didnt the lady that took my order just say that they were cooking and itd be a little bit? I wouldve said yes Ill waited. Ashley apologized several times saying yes the other associate should of told you they cooking again my apologies. Ashley was very kind and remedied the problem. However, I feel the lady that took my order should of been the one to apologize. Anyways, like I said mixed review here. Im writing this review to praise and thank Ashley for going above and beyond to make sure the customer (me) left happy.

Haos Kitchen

❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?HORRIBLE!!!!I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place to my worst enemy the food did not look good whatsoever. Very small portions, also very greasy looking. Not at all what I thought to be ordering. The establishment kitchen was very dirty. From what I could see, had I known prior I would have not wasted my time nor money. Being that I did placed my order byvphone so I had NO CLUE HOW DIRTY the establishment eas and when I say dirty I mean FILTHY! I actually did not take the food that I purchase once I had got a look at the kitchen. Yes! I still purchase the food but left the Box on the counter due to the horrible customer service and the condition of the restaurant....By the way the person who answered the phone and took my order was very short tempered with me over the phone, but I let that slide. So when I came in to get the food I was treated VERY bad very rudly VERY and I know FOR A FACT that it had everything to do with my race with me being a young black man WHICH IS SO SHAMEFUL SMH....But yes I can go on and on about this place TRULY I CAN! So I will stop rambling now smh and give my recommendation.....So All In All I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL!!!.....Due to the cleanliness of the restaurant, quality of the food and the horribly rude customer service I give it to 0 Stars⭐, 2 Thumbs down??, and F-✍❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?❌?
