More choices than you can shake a chopstick at. The only Chinese buffet for miles and miles. Good thing its a good one! Lots of seating, lots of parking... just go inside, pick a seat and help yourself. You'll probably bump into someone you know here while you're enjoying the buffet. Pro tip: Don't forget to save a little room for some soft serve with sprinkles located on the back wall. read more

My husband used to eat here when he lived in the area but this was my first time here. The selection was honestly much better than I expected (four buffet lines) and they had a nice dessert selection. It seemed like they kept the buffet pretty fresh. Overall the food was very good; the only disappointment was the lo mein, which had virtually no sauce or seasoning, whereas normally lo mein is one of my favorites at a Chinese buffet. The sushi was mediocre but seems on par with the quality at other rural Chinese buffets. read more

Hot food was cold and crusty. Sushi and cold items were dry and room temp. Became nauseous shortly after, no idea how old the food was. Woman in booth directly behind my head had a loud speakerphone conversation the entire time, disrupting half the restaurant with political rantings while customers were trying to have lunch. This was still going on when we left. Currently having an alka seltzer cocktail and swearing never again. read more

Food was good and fresh. Service is friendly and prompt. Ambiance is small town Chinese buffet style restaurant. I eat here when I'm in the area always been good for me. read more

I have ate here for decades. However lately, don't go after 7 p.m. Both times the buffet had old food on it, dried out and wasn't good at all. I'm so disappointed!! If only the young lady that used to run it was here, that would never happen. $36 both times for old food.. when you have 3 hours left to be open atleast serve the customers fresh food. Unfortunately, I won't be back and neither will my family. So sad because for so many years it was fresh and delicious food, not anymore.​ read more

Stopped at this pretty much "middle of nowhere" place due to hunger and high rating. Surprised that it really is a buffet (so many folded during the pandemic), we elected to not order off the menu. The good - the quantity and diversity of dishes was quite good. It has everything you'd expect from a very reasonably priced buffet ($14 per). For instance, they had at least 2 mussel-based dishes, including a Cajun-type mix with crayfish; Lot's of shrimp and chicken cooked all ways; Fruit; Dessert; the standard soups. They are dog friendly. The service was very good. The not-so-good: I found some items bland, particularly the General Tso's. That item is - for better or worse - is one of the most well known Chinese dishes and if done well, is crisp and fiery. This was neither, though I can understand if toning it down appeals to the masses. I could name some others, but I think based on the other reviews that this is a great place for filling your belly and getting your moneys worth. If looking for more taste/authenticity I think ordering off the menu is a better move. read more

I'm sorry but I like this place! Their egg flower soup is the best I ever had! I like most of their dishes, their beef is really tender in all their dishes and the service is very nice. It is what it is and I enjoy it when ever I come to visit the area. read more

China Garden - Egg flower soup - Chinese Near Me - Highland, Arkansas

Have been here before, but always ate buffet. I found that I like the restaurant much better when I order off the menu. Lunch specials 6.99 for egg roll, spring roll or cup of soup, fried wonton w/ sweet sour sauce comes with entree. I was very pleased with the pork Lo main, fried rice and egg drop soup. It was fresh, which the buffet never seemed. Also like that entree is served in to go boxes. There are always leftovers! read more

Well, this place used to be wonderful. Then a terrible tornado came in 2009. This was the first time that I have tried this place probably in 10 years. The buffet was decent. There were a lot of choices. I like chicken and meat when I eat at a Chinese restaurant. I didn't try noodles or rice. I tried the Tsos chicken, it looked like sweet and sour, but it was a little spicy but good. I tried the coconut chicken, this too was tasty, but the chicken was cooked too long. Alot of the chicken was cooked too long and the temp of buffet could have been hotter. The tables were in fire straights, as there were knife cuts all over them. The ceiling tiles were filthy and there were lights out in some areas. This was ok,however, like most of the restaurants in highland, they are mediocre and nothing to rate A+ on. I probably won't be back, but maybe in another 10 years. read more

This is as good Chinese food as you'll get outside of New York or LA. I mean this is really good food. They have your standards in chicken and a few beef options. The spring rolls are meh. Egg rolls are better. The buffet takeout charges by the ounce but you can also order ahead. read more

It's decent food for a good price. They are fast with service, and the ambiance is calm.

Probably the worst food I've ever thought about eating. Most of it I only thought about because the meat looked so rancid I didn't dare. The place is super dirty and they have a dirty, mildewed fish tank with the lid laying off next to the desserts. And seriously how do you mess up frozen, breaded shrimp; not crisp and super rubbery. I thought surely the sugar coated donut would be ok....WRONG! pretty sure they must have fried it in the same oil as the fish because they tasted fishy. Our waitress was friendly. That's the only positive I got. read more

I like this place. The food is good and fresh. The service is great and very friendly. This place is clean and you can tell that they take pride in this place. I haven't eaten one thing here that I don't like. Huge variety of great chie read more

Its a buffet. But I find its pretty fresh and tasty. Great assortment. Some weird things for a Chinese Buffet, like cheese and fish items. Hmmmm. But egg foo young is pretty good. Sushi is not bad. Mongolian beef and Kung Pao is pretty good. Overall they are my second favorite restaurant within 40 miles of home. Very nice/friendly folks.... read more

I don't know where some of you get off saying such bad things about this place. We absolutely loved going there when we lived in the area and cannot wait to stop in there again. The food is great, the place is clean, and hopefully they still have this one sweet little waitress/cashier that would always great you with a warm hello. read more

Do they have a health inspector in Hardy? If so they need to come close this place down. The place is filthy. The food is so old from sitting all day. The dust and grim over the dessert bar could alone close this place down. The floors are so slippery from either grease or steam I had to shuffle my feet. Gross! read more

The staff was nice and well attentive. The food was ok and it was nice that their Sunday buffet didn't cost too much (some restaurants cost too much on Sundays and thank you China Garden for not ripping off customers). The floors were slippery, but still walkable. It was ok and I would return. read more
