China Garden

We have enjoyed coming here ever since we moved to Columbia. It is a long-standing staple for Chinese fair in the central Missouri area. They’ve done an excellent job of staying up-to-date with their building and furniture.Wide selection of very tasty foods. They also have hibachi grill and a sushi station. They are better restaurants out there but this is a solid go to.

A very nice place. The food is wonderful. They have enough variety that my husband does not fuss about us eating there. They have a delicious roast beef, a variety of chicken dishes, a variety of shrimp. Makes him very happy. I am quite fond of the beef and chicken. But I love the traditional Chinese dishes as well. The atmosphere is quite charming. They have a lovely in house pond with beautiful Koi fish. The bubbling water is soothing to my being. Our waiter was a lovely young man. He attended to us very nicely.

I truly enjoyed my 1st experience at China Garden. It was not at all how I expected. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. I couldn't get over how hot the food temperature was, unlike other buffet lines I've been to. The place was beautiful, and peaceful, very soothing while I ate. Speaking of eating, all the food that I ate was on point, very delicious!!! I am looking forward to my next visit to them.

Service was five stars but the food I ate wasn’t worth the price. I don’t eat any seafood but my husband enjoyed the fish and son in law enjoyed the squid. So if your family is not big on seafood I suggest going during the week. The price is higher on weekends because of the seafood. I tried the beef and broccoli it just wasn’t as good as other places I’ve eaten at.

Long wait and poor selection! Please be advised! All hype no foods variations!! $16.99 plus a soda that I didn’t get a refill on till I was leaving- $21 bucks out the door. They promote a seafood selection yet they only had 4 entree’s to choose from and NO crab legs now at all as well! What has happened to this place? More money to eat now and less food and less of a selection too? Just ridiculous if you have been here in the past years it is not the same. The service has also taken a nose dive, no one worried about the customers at the door; stood there with no greeting and then when set the server was no where and didn’t check on me once? If you want a tip and think you deserve one then maybe you should work for it?! Be friendly and hospitable as well as check on your tables. I needed a knife. Just sad. Was excited too! Poor experience and even poorer foods. And are those frozen egg rolls? Man oh man.
