Panda Buffet

This place has only been here a few years, but its already a standard for the town. The food is always good and in enormous quantity. A real treat, just watch how many times you go in a week!

If you’re hungry on I-​35 in the food desert between Wichita and OKC, this place is definitely worth your short detour into town.
I really like the Chinese buffet option when traveling and have a lot of experience with the genre. There is a lot of variation. This is definitely one of the better ones, despite its unpromising location.
Some caveats: it really looks unappealing on the outside — ignore that.
Also, this is not diet food, they don’t skimp on the grease. And the deep fried stuff and the sticky sweet stuff (sesame chicken etc.) is ho-​hum.
That all said, there is a lot to be said in favor of this place. The various meats and stir fries were very well executed. Rich flavors without being overpowering, every dish a bit different. The vegetables (remember vegetables from when you weren;t on the highway) were especially nicely handled, with the (commonly dire) shrimp and vegetable in white sauce a real standout.
It’s odd, really, that there’s a Chinese restaurant in every town, and probably in cases like Perry OK, not such a great thing for the family that ends up running it. But it’s a real relief for those of us who are passing through and dreading yet another Sonic burger.

Great food! Buffet isn’t very big because it’s a small restaurant but what they have out is very good. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices
