    Coconut shrimp, chicken and shrimp in lobster sauce, fried won ton, string beans, white rice
    Ben J.

    Tried the China Garden Buffet because I've seen quite a few customers fill the restaurant at lunch time. First, it's buffet so my expectations were lower than usual. The lunch selection wasn't bad but it was your typical Americanized Chinese food. As you can see, I tried the coconut shrimp, chicken and shrimp in lobster sauce, string beans, fried won ton and white rice. Second plate was General Tso chicken (though they were bit size chunks), more chicken and shrimp, and some pineapple chunks. All in all, a good lunch for the $9.99 price plus $2.19 for a 20 oz size glass of Diet Pepsi. There were some California rolls available and some ice cream you could scoop out of the containers. I can see why people go there for lunch. $9.99 can get you a lot of food.

    Good from the buffet: shrimp, Sweet and Sour Chicken, beans, chow mein, fried chicken

    The food wasn't appetizing but didn't taste that bad either. There's not a lot of varieties compared to other buffets. The fried chicken tasted good though-it's the best I've eaten there so far. Service was okay. No one seemed happy, everyone was just doing their job. The ambiance was alright--nothing exciting. You just want to get done and get out. And yes, you need to get out soon and go home and spend the rest of the time in the bathroom because of upset stomach (happened to me and my husband hence the 1 star)

    Great Asian Restaurant? I'd say so!…read more Here's 5 reasons for my 5 stars... * It's Asian Fusion - There's a wide range of American-Chinese,Thai, and House Created dishes... * There's a relaxing upscale casual ambiance. * They have a full service bar * Excellent service * High quality, flavorful food. I was pleased with Mark K and my first visit. It's in a small strip mall, but It's a lot nicer than what you would normally expect to find.. Mark got: Southern Style Egg Rolls - Very Tex-Mex. Good, filling, and not too spicy. Beef Pad Thai - Decent, but not mind-blowing. Could use more scrambled eggs and bean sprouts. I got: Hot And Sour Soup - Quite good with a nice smokey flavor. General Tso's Chicken - It's as good as it gets, folks, meaning it's a rival to my favorite at China Bell in Grove City. The sauce is excellent! The chunks of white chicken meat are just lightly breaded enough to hold the sauce but not overpower the dish. I'd say it's a 95% chicken to 5% breading ratio. And they still serve it with broccoli. Outstanding! I'd go back again to do some more exploring in a heartbeat. Like I said, 5 stars.

    This review is based on my preferences, so I gave it a 4, but it could easily be a 5 to others. The…read morestaff was friendly, and the inside was clean. I'll start with what was good: the Mei fun, takoyaki, and the (delicious) egg roll. What lacked for me were the soups and the sesame chicken. I can see many people loving the sesame chicken, but I like mine drenched in sauce, and this felt like a healthier version with a glazed grilled chicken taste. I am also not the biggest fan of Asian soups but I always try them in case I find one that changes my mind. People may love the soups as well.

The sizzling tofu dish was super flavorful and the tofu was so soft inside. The sauce went with the assortment of veggies well and I loved how the sauce soaked into the giant sliced mushrooms. The beef chow fun was also a great option. The noodles were chewy and the stir fried veggies and beef had a slightly smoky flavor. The stir fried vegetables were also one of my favorites. Even with just a few ingredients, it is amazing how flavorful this dish was. The dishes also came with rice and I ordered a side of chili oil for extra flavor Also, if you're a fan of steamed custard buns like me, do try them! They were warm and delicious, with a buttery and sweet filling. Sooo good and the perfect way to end the meal. Service is on the slower side since there are only 1-2 servers but it was well worth it. There were lots of seating indoors and the interior had a well worn, homey look to it.

The hot and sour soup had just enough spice for interest. I had an eggroll which was the best I've had since leaving NYC. It was crispy without being dry and the filling was well seasoned. We had 3 dishes, happy family, mandarin chicken and a roast pork dish. They were huge portions but ;had similar tastes (our fault) next time we will pick a better mix of dishes. We left stuffed and with plenty of leftovers. The restaurant is bright and clean. There are a variety of tables small to large-some round with lazy susans . White tablecloths, vases and silverwear are on every table. Our service was excellent. There is lots of parking in front. they have highchairs for kids. The ladies room was clean and large

Good service; she was busy with a couple other diners and constant carryout orders but kept up on my items and drink refills. I tried the agedashi tofu, perhaps the best version I've had. Big squares, crispy and flavorful on the outside, silky and mild (and hot!) on the inside. Served with a tangy sauce that nicely balanced the tofu. I got the gonchu beef rice pot as my entree. Several other things interested me, and my standard for a first visit is Mongolian beef so I can compare methods, but rice pots seem to be their specialty and this looked good. Tender lean beef, marinated in a slightly sweet sauce, with green beans over rice in a metal kettle with lid. Sort of like bibimbap but the kettle/bowl is not searingly hot. Very tasty. I was stuffed between the two. Oh, and a spring roll comes with the bowl, also pretty good. Fast. Flavorful. Convenient. I'd definitely come back.
