    Mongolian beef with white rice
    Stephanie C.

    I feel like its usually hit or miss when I come here, but I've had Sesame Garden twice in the last few weeks and have been pleasantly surprised. The egg rolls don't taste the same, they are so much better now...not so much filler. The chicken and broccoli still lacks flavor, as does the Mongolian beef. But still decent meals. I though they used to give pork fried rice with their meals and now its just plain fried rice, which is fine by me since I hate peas. The crab rangoons don't seem as big either. My Mongolian beef this time around seemed like it was mostly onion and very little beef. We ordered our food to dine in and it did seem like they were a little busy, but even so, I felt like the food took longer than normal to come out. However I did notice the guy taking the orders was also going to the back and helping prepare some of the food,

    They have great food and have good prices! We love to go here for lunch! The egg rolls are delicious

    Sesame Garden, which used to be Lin Garden, is a great local spot for Chinese. It's very affordable and worth the money you pay. The lady that runs it is very good and speaks English well. She is quick and efficient. Great meal place for take out and dine in (even though there are only about 20, chairs in shop to eat at), as long as you have a car. It is across the street from KMart and doesn't deliver to campus sadly. However, if you can make it there, you won't be disappointed. Note- If you're a WIU or Spoon student you can get the college special for about $6, which is one of the best deals around!!

    Always tasty (I get the house tofu and wonton soup), and I love that they have free hot black tea.

    The food is always great here. Only reason I gave a 4/5 is because they've forgotten some of our food lately.

    Good vegetarian options. They also take COVID safety protocol very seriously, and that is much appreciated.

    Excellent food. They now have several tables (their other location had very few) but we prefer to carry out...you can't go wrong here.

    I had been craving ramen. Okinawa is my go to place. I love their ramen…read more I live in the country out by Springbay, so its a bit of distance to go there. About 40 miles round trip. I ordered 2 ramen bowls to go. They put the wrong broth in the order. One was correct, the other not .By the time I found this out, I was home, they were closed. And didn't answer the phone at 810. Since I had never had a problem with them before, I assumed that I would call them this morning to straighten it out.. Big mistake. I was told that since I couldn't prove this there would be no refund nor any redo. I am terribly disappointed in their customer service. The food is good, but I don't always go by this. If I am going to spend $20 on a bowl of soup, I expect it to be what I ordered. If it isn't. I expect it to be made correctly. Please enjoy the $40 dollars you got from me yesterday. It's the last money you will see from me.

There was very little fish in it. they used deepfried bred crums as filler in all the rowls made both of us sick after and wen she was discharged we asked for a refund and they refused i do not recommend it at all its way over priced to have bread crumbs in it when it dose not belong just so they dont have to put in a reasonable amount of fish

It was 8 pm and my daughter found Happy Sushi on line and said let's try it. We were worried about getting there so close to close 8:30, but hoped for the best. They welcomed us in! It was very clean and organized. Not a lot of seating. We got several sushi rolls, noodles and some ramen. It was excellent. The owned stopped by the table to talk to my daughter with the busted arm and made her feel better. We will definitely be making stops here in the future. Thanks so much Happy sushi!!!!!

    I really can't overstate how bad this sushi was. I am certainly hoping we make it through the next…read more24 hours without getting sick. There was definitely some "bad" fish (tasted old) in the rolls, which fell completely apart the moment you attempted to pick them up. Ambiance? The large bowl of rice sitting outside the bathroom was a bad look. The server was nice enough, but the best service in the world could not offset the poor quality of the food. I have had better sushi from the grocery store and from Sam's Club. The saddest part? I had been wanting to try "the best sushi in Springfield" for the last two years! For your reference- we had 4 rolls- spicy tuna, Alaska roll (salmon), French kiss (shrimp tempura, crab, salmon), and Caribbean orgazam (soft shell crab, salmon). There was not a good roll in the bunch. Seriously, this is not the place to go for sushi.

    My husband and I visited Crazy Buffet (aka Panda Buffet) in Galesburg, Illinois on a Sunday night,…read morearound 7 pm, in late Sept, 2024. The restaurant was scheduled to close at 9 pm; the rest of the neighborhood was already quite sleepy. All of the food that both my husband and I ate was quite tasty, including Asian buffet favorites such as Pepper Chicken; Mongolian beef; crab Rangoon; California sushi; and far more. They also offered some unique and tasty items, such as fried zucchini slices. They also had tubs of creamy and yummy ice cream for dessert. We rate the quality of the food that we ate as 4.5/5.0. However, by 7 pm, the restaurant was already winding down and many of the food trays were already near empty and weren't being replenished so there were many food offerings that we didn't get the chance to try. Our rating for variety is thus only 2/5. Service was okay (3/5). The waitress brought us our requested waters, and checked in once to see if everything was okay. The overall ambiance was of a typical Chinese buffet restaurant, and was maintained well. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. However, staff started to wind down the day at 8 pm, including mopping the floors of the main buffet area, the check-out counter, and restrooms while we were still eating and needing to walk in those areas! It was an hour to closing time! Finally, the restaurant was a good value for all-you-can-eat for $12.99/person at dinner, before tax and tip. We would return but probably earlier in the day to have full access to the variety of food choices and to ensure that we didn't interfere with the cleaning at closing.

    Went close to closing and they were extremely nice and even made my group fresh food since they…read moredidn't have any other customers at the time. Everyone was happy and the decor is amazing very quiet and clean can't wait to go again
