Yes folks!!!! We're back once again! This is absolutely our favorite Chinese Restaurant! These absolutely know way you can go wrong here! From staff, to atmosphere, to food. Is all good. Love you guys here at Flaming Buffet!!!

Crawfish, crab, fish filet, and green beans

I'd been meaning to check this place out and was pleased to have a good experience here. I am in a powered wheelchair and the staff offered to help me plate my food, which was very kind of them. Their main focus is seafood, and 15.99$ for the buffet on a Sunday felt more than fair (it's cheaper on weekdays). The food quality was fine for a buffet, and nothing tasted bad or expired. I got an assortment of things from shrimp, crawfish, fish filet, crab, clams, to green beans, chicken skewers, and sushi. They even have pizza and ice cream for picky eaters or kids.

It was what I expected for the price. I should have tried the Hibachi, it looked very good. Service was excellent!

I've been to Flamin' hot buffet a few times but today was not okay. I had 3 kids with me, all of whom were 10 years old. When I was asked about their ages, I provided that information. However, one of the staff members pointed out a sign at the front stating that children aged 10 must be under 5 feet tall, and that pricing may vary depending on their weight. While I understand that businesses may have policies related to pricing, I was taken aback by the way this information was communicated. Singling out a child based on their height or weight can be perceived as body shaming, which is not appropriate--especially in front of others. I believe there are more respectful and discreet ways to address such matters, particularly when children are involved. This is not okay. Do better please.

New prices. Still great food.

1st. I love buffets. Especially Chinese buffets in strip malls and this is one of them. I've been coming here for years and I'll keep coming here. It's also cheap with lots of options. Currently they are short staffed but the waiters/waitresses work their butt off.

Awesome awesome restaurant! I love it here. I always come. The staff is great the food is phenomenal. You just can't go wrong with whatever you get.

We have a son that is born on 04/14/2021, and the owners said he was too tall. They charged him as a three year old even though he can't get before and they treated him as a two year old. Blatant discrimination against an infant's height, do they want to see the birth certificate? Because we can bring it straight to their face to show that he is two years old as of this review and they will trash it and say that he is three. Good food, decent atmosphere, horrible receptionists. Food 5/5 Service 1/5 Ambiance 4/5

Had our Sunday lunch here with family. The place is busy, fast turnover of diners. I focused on the seafood items in the food counter. They have fried blue crabs, steamed crawfish from Louisiana, clams and blue shell mussels. They're delicious. Serving staff are helpful and attentive. The place is clean and well lit. Although interior decor is not outstanding, but I only come here for their seafood.

And wow, the taste is the exact same. The decor is the exact same. The people are the exact same. It was truly a feeling of nostalgia that's hard to describe. My favorite dish has always been, and still is, the bamboo shoots with pork. It is so fragrant, umami, and simply delicious. The west lake soup is also a classic done so well - pro tip to add white pepper to give it a little kick. The steamed pork belly was okay - sauce is flavorful (a touch salty) along with the preserved greens but the pork wasn't as tender as I had remembered it. The fish filets are fried to perfection, full of salt/pepper flavor, and pairs well with the jalapeños. If you don't like fish, you can get the same flavor with the pork version of this dish, which I also really like. The service can be a little slow because it's just 1 chef and 1 waitress who own the restaurant - same people that have run the show since I first came here probably almost 30 years ago! Incredible to see them still working so hard and serving delicious food. They'll never know how much their restaurant and food means to me!

Update to my original review. Each time I've been back I receive great food. The sizzling beef…read morewas amazing and so tender.

Garden Restaurant is a Dim Sum restaurant in Garland where you don't have to wait to get a table…read more While that's good if you're in a rush, it's the opposite if you're looking for a great Dim Sum experience. My Overall Rating - 2 Stars Atmosphere - Tucked into a shopping strip in Garland (the old Arc-en-ciel for your OG's), Garden is an open, spacious Dim Sum restaurant. On my Sunday lunch, there was no wait, but the restaurant was pretty full. However, for a Dim Sum restaurant, there were not many carts out (more on this below). 1/2 Star. Service - Many Dim Sum restaurants don't have carts, and instead you order from a menu. Garden has both. There are a few servers pushing carts with the most popular items. If you don't see it, you can simply order from the menu. This is totally fine, but on my Sunday visit, they were busy and finding someone to order from the menu became increasingly frustrating. 1/2 Star. Food - There is a reason they were not packed. Simply put, Garden's offerings were average at best. Their pork buns were more bun than pork, and even the bun lacked the subtle sweet, soft shell. We ordered what we thought were Pork Xu Mai, but it ended up being shrimp. That's when we decided to order from the menu, but if you read above even that was a challenge. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I get overruled. Occasionally, my family members will prioritize time and convenience over quality. If that happens, I'll end up eating at Garden Restaurant. Garden is by no means bad, there are just other options with better food and service. 1/2 Star.
