My family and I decided to order to go this time and we were so displeased. The egg fu yung was full of more onions than egg, the shrimp fried rice had WAY less shrimp than previous ones and the combination platter was disappointing. Due to improper packaging, the prawns and egg rolls were soggy from the teriyaki sauce that was for another appetizer. I forgot the name of the young man I spoke with when I called (2/21 @ 6:06pm), but he was rude and condescending. I no longer live in Macon but my family and friends do. I have and will continue to share this negative experience with them. Getting bad food is understandable, maybe it was an off day. I did not call to request a refund, I was merely calling to express concern. Being rude and nonchalant is not the way to retain customers. Do better Mandarin Garden!

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, we got an egg roll that was overcooked, chicken that must have been refried from frozen topped with a gooey sauce that didn't come close to being what we ordered and refried rice that was dry. None of it was edible. I am so sorry this place has gone so far downhill.

I've never in my life seen "yellow Chinese rice" with absolutely nothing in it--no eggs, no onions, no vegetables, nothing. It was bland, unseasoned, and looked exactly how it tasted: horrible.

They don't have all you can eat crab legs but you can buy by the pound for 8.99 with purchase of buffet or more per pound if you buy just legs. First the buffet is huge! I mean they have a lot of food on those bars. Great tasting shrimp and cat fish. Really good dumplings. Just plump little half moon shapes of goodness. But the star was the crab legs, these damn things were succulent and juicy, the butta mmmmmmmm god the butta! It was just the icing the crab meat needed. Just awesome, that was really nice.

I've gone to this restaurant many times since moving to the area and always had a fairly good…read moreexperience. Today however was a different story. My family (my husband, 2 daughters and infant) were sat next to a woman and her son. The woman seemed to be having some type of mental episode and her son was also disabled. The son repeatedly stood up and reached over the booth touching my 9yo daughter and my husband. We politely asked him to stop due to us seeing he had a disability. He did not. The mother was speaking in tongues, talking about harming people, and talking to an invisible person beside her. It was frighting for my children. And none of us were able to relax during the meal because we were watching the family beside us. When the woman and her son were finished eating, the woman said someone had stolen her phone from the table and started causing a scene. There was never a phone. She just didn't want to pay. While this whole situation was going on the little boy was literally running around the buffet area and putting his hands into food. All of the chaos caused My daughter to have an anxiety attack. Unfortunately, Where we were seated we couldn't gather up all our children without being in the direct path of this unstable woman. so we were forced to wait it out. Eventually a nice couple offered to pay for the woman's meal and she ended up leaving. I talked to the host and explained that my daughter hadn't eaten due to the stress from the situation and inquired about having that fee removed, she understood and directed me to one of the owners, Frank. I asked if he was an owner, he confirmed and I explained the situation. He said he would take it off. Once I received our bill I saw that he in fact had not. I went back to talk to him and he stated "I took off $2". I asked him why? He stated that my daughter had a piece of cake on her plate. Insinuating that she had eaten a full meal and gotten dessert.. I explained to him that she had not eaten her first plate. Nor had she eaten the piece of cake that I tried to give to her to calm her down due to the whole situation. And also, the little boy had been putting his hands in the food, my daughter was scared and crying, why would we stay and continue to eat after all of that? He told me that he cannot control other guests.. and while I understand that, this is not the first time that woman has been in their restaurant nor acted out. we learned that during the whole situation, apparently they've dealt with her multiple times. If that's the case and they know how she is they should've put her in the area by herself and not endanger other guests. Another man ended up coming up as well as the host and they both said my daughter had not eaten. Everyone seemed to understand the gravity of what had just happened except for Frank. Or maybe he understood he just didn't care. He was rude, condescending, and became disrespectful when he slammed the receipt down in front of me. I know my family of 5 wont really impact this restaurant, but we will never be returning again. The way he handled that whole situation was so disheartening. That woman could've seriously hurt somebody and we were the ones closest to her. Frank acted like I was wrong for not wanting to continue to stay there and simply asking him to remove a child's meal. Horrible behavior. If I could give zero stars, I would.

DO NOT EAT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!…read more I witnessed an employee stop several customers who were trying to take to-go containers home. The customers had placed their leftover food into the containers after they finished eating. When the group decided they no longer wanted the containers, they left them with the employee. What happened next was extremely concerning. The employee took some of the food from those containers and placed it back onto the buffet line. I informed the employee that the food had already been handled and eaten from by customers and should not be returned to the buffet. The employee responded, "I looked at it, and it looked like they didn't touch it." I explained that it doesn't matter whether the food appeared untouched. Once food has been taken from the buffet and placed on a customer's table, it should never be returned to the serving area. Doing so is unsanitary and puts other diners at risk. Based on what I witnessed, I would not recommend eating here. This version strengthens the credibility of the review by focusing on the observed behavior and food-safety concern.
