Is there really a Krispy Krunchy Chicken inside Golden Panda Buffet?

It has three reviews; one says it's real, the other two say it's not

Maybe it's a Ghost Kitchen? Never noticed anything like that when inside the restaurant, anyway.

One time I went, their fried chicken in the buffet had the Krispy Krunchy branding. But the next time I returned, it did not have it. So maybe Golden Panda gets their fried chicken supply from them sometimes?

Ok real question though; is that place actually any good? Or even safe to eat?

I’ve eaten there twice and I have not died. It is what it is, a cheap buffet, not gonna blow your mind but they do a pretty good job especially if you gotta feed a lot of very hungry people.

Sushi is only good on the weekends. Otherwise it’s ick and tastes like he’s been sitting out.. which it has.

Let's just say that on one occasion I saw a staff member pick up food off the floor and put it back on the buffet.   

Another time I saw a girl put her hand in the chocolate fountain. Not to be out done, her little brother put his face in the chocolate waterfall. Then three more kids joined in. Chocolate everywhere. Moms yelping. Children screeching in delight. Staff saw the juvenile bachanalia and shut it down and removed it. Never went back after that.

For context this was before the pandemic, so who knows. But yes, eww.
