    A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. We would order food here very often. They have now changed ownership. I'm going to be brutally honest, the food was disgusting at best. We are actually feeding it to our dogs. If you have not eaten here since the change of ownership, don't do it.

    Best Chinese buffet in the valley!!! Been coming here since I was a child. Now I bring my kid. The food has stayed consistently delicious through out the decades. Prices have gone up lately but then again what prices haven't!

    Alright for what it is but the change to the menu was shocking. Everything about it is far from the China Garden we've known and loved for decades. Ordering was a nightmare over the phone. Had to literally ask if this was china garden. Gentleman couldn't understand a bit of english and sounded beyond confused with my simple order. When all that was sorted out he hung up without ever adding my name to my order and couldn't tell me what the total would be. When we opened the bag the food was not at all what we thought we'd get. It was the new owners version of chow mein and spicy beef. Oh and the pan-fried noodles were so thin, chewy, hard (not crunchy), and pretty much see-through or saturated with oil? Very weird but not good at all. Color was far from white and the noodles are the orange style now. Very disappointed in the change to something that was great and the best for years. People came from other towns and cities to have it. Now I'll likely go to fowler or fresno for my fix of Chinese. Because I'm paying china garden prices for something I can get across the street for much less.

    Tried some of their New foods and desserts and loved it! Come to find out,... These are new owners since Jan 2023, so it explains the new items. Well , I'm super happy I got to taste the new yummy stuff. No complaints to be honest! One item I tried was called "jalapeño chicken". It's not super spicy but just right,...with a tiny bit of sweetness; but neither flavor is overbearing. It's perfect imo,...and well, you all got to go try for yourself! So much goodness in this place!

    Very disappointed! My order of sweet and sour pork which used to be on the buffet now you have to order off the menu price charged was $2.00 more than on the menu and when brought up at the time of cashing out he said that was the old menu price now $11.55 hard and overcooked.

    Waitress was very rude. When she took my order for my drink she rushed me and acted like it was a huge inconvenience for me to ask what they had to which she responded "Pepsi products" like I can read her mind. She brought my drink and she never checked up on me again to see if I needed anything or to ask if everything was OK. The food was not bad but not great. They kept bringing out new hot food so at least it was fresh.

    The food was fresh and tasty. Lots choice. I like the orange chicken and steam fish. Chicken on the stick are bomb. I am sure gonna be back for it.

    This type of restaurant should have hand wipes available due to many people using their hands to mouth to eat the crab and other non utensil items. The serving utensils don't get changed often and unfortunately people just don't use the plastic gloves available. Other than my concern that there could possibly be some food contamination issues I did enjoy my meal. I'll bring my own hand wipes in the future.

    Fried chicken is really good and they now have sushi. More like spring rolls. Salad, rice chow mein. It's a wide variety of food. Couldn't be w/o a little Mexican in this area, not talking about the cooks.pizza, French fries and the list. goes. on ....

    I've eaten here before the change of ownership. I read the reviews regarding the quality of the food after the change and decided to try it for myself. The owners/staff are very nice. The sushi was good. I have no issues with the way the food tastes other than the bbq pork. The sauce tasted a little strange but everything else was good. I paid 12 dollars for lunch and was happy with it. I understand this is not a high end chinese restaurant and happy to have so many options including salad and dessert for less than the price of a burrito or a Carl's jr meal. Be advised. This review was for lunch only. I am not sure if the layout and food is different for evening dining.

    The soup was fresh and good . Rest is all average . If you want a buffet for that price range , it’s an Ok place . Other than that for Ale carte I would suggest the near by Panda Express . The fried rice was blunt and not fresh . Rest was ok .

    My family has always enjoyed coming here for the variety of food. I give it 5 stars because the staff is always helpful, courteous and friendly. The food is good, not fancy or pretentious, but flavorful and lots of it. Sometimes there is too much "sauce" or some offerings are slightly overcooked, but there's always something else to eat. We will keep coming back.

    I show up to eat and all the signs say open yet when I walk in they tell me closed to leave.

    Sunday All you can eat crab legs. They are a bit slow to bring them out so you gotta race to get them lmao. But the possible owner is really nice and the waitress we get is an older lady. She so sweet and on top of cleaning the plates.

    It's been years since we have been here. The food was delicious. And was so happy that my son was willing to try Chinese food helping him to realize that he does like some Chinese food.

    Buffet is really good. They have my favorite combination chow Meiji and they also have the pan fried noodles. Oh so good. They serve a stir fried vegetable fish mixed with large shrimp too!! Delicious and perfectly blanched broccoli and beef. The beef is not fatty and it is not chewy either, it’s moist and tasty. They are lid have the best French fries too. There is so much tasty fresh food. Soft serve ice cream and a whole bunch of desserts too. Highly recommend this place. You can also order off a their menu. Everything on their menu is good too. My personal recommendation is to get the orange chicken. It tastes way better than panda express orange chicken. This is a locally owned business and they take pride in their food. Friendly employees too.

    Very good time. Went for dinner and found that amongst all these $20+ buffet places this place only charged about 15 a person. Not a huge selection of for but it was still a buffet. Food was very good and tasty. Customer service was very friendly and inviting. Definitely going back soon. Can never get enough fried shrimp and fish.

    Haven't been here in a long time, but it's even better than I remember. Best buffet around for Chinese food.
