Great food at a great price. Large selection. Food was hot and dishes were filled frequently. Great value and service. Top notch buffet.

My family and I had an extremely disappointing experience at China Garden Buffet last night. We were a party of seven — five adults and two children — visiting for the weekend and decided to dine here for dinner. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the service was unwelcoming.
The gentleman at the front did not greet us and appeared unwilling to assist. We stood waiting to be acknowledged, and when we finally placed our drink orders, they were written down incorrectly despite our patience and respectful demeanor.
After we were seated, the experience continued to decline. Dirty plates were not cleared in a timely manner, and I found myself organizing and stacking dishes just to keep the table manageable. The buffet food was cold and clearly had been sitting out for some time. We waited for fresh food to be brought out, but aside from the crab legs, very little was replenished.
What made the situation worse was the way staff hovered around our table. Employees repeatedly stood near us whenever someone in our party got up — whether to get food or use the restroom. No other table appeared to receive this level of attention. It felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. We were never clearly assisted by a designated server, and staff came one by one to remove random items rather than providing consistent service.
At checkout, I noticed an additional $13 charge on my debit card that was not reflected on my signed receipt. When I addressed the issue, communication suddenly became difficult. The gentleman at the front would not properly respond, and after reviewing multiple tickets, I discovered I was the only one charged this supposed “weekend hold.” Others in my party dined at the same time and did not have this additional charge. The explanation given was inconsistent and unclear.
Given the unfriendly and uncomfortable atmosphere — especially with children present — I chose to leave and will be disputing the additional charge with my bank.
The food was cold, undercooked in some areas, and overall unappetizing. After paying for what little we attempted to eat, several members of our party still had to purchase food elsewhere.
As a Kansas City native, I am extremely disappointed. Based on our experience with the service, food quality, and billing practices, me and my family will not be returning.

Alin Is the host. He is the single rudest person I have ever encountered in a restaurant. You will get no greeting. You will not get a smile. You will not get eye contact. The servers are very quick and you will not wait for anything. They are very nice however you will notice that they have smiles for each other and Alin will smile and tell stories to them but to the guests it is a different story. The food is always fine. I have been to this establishment probably 10 different times. I have never had a problem with the food. it does make me wonder who owns this restaurant and how can they treat their customers this way and in doing so treat their employees like this? can you imagine the increase in business if they were nice? can you imagine how much more in tips they would make if they were nice? so it makes me think they do not care about their employees in the least. Alin puts in his earbud and stays on his phone and definitely does not clean anything and let’s not talk about the big fountain in front. At least they finally drained the toxic water. but they sure didn’t clean it.

Something has changed. The food before was delicious; now it’s bland and has way too much fried stuff that has dry chewy breading. I taste zero Chinese flavor.
Additionally, if you take it to go, you pay by weight. Not worth it.

The usual buffet fair. They do have dumplings and some sushi. Service was mostly a token effort as you primarily serve yourself. Food was average to good but they did have a very wide array to choose from.

As good as one would expect a Chinese buffet to be. Especially love their Honey Chicken. Only complaint is the floor is incredibly slippery. I’ve been there twice with different shoes and I always feel like I’ll slip and fall. Slippery in the dining hall and especially the restroom, feet were slipping even when I was seated?!

We decided on having a family outing at this restaurant. One of my family members chose this restaurant. I did my homework by reading the reviews & after reading the reviews I was skeptical. To keep from being difficult I decided to go. One of the reviews I did read say that staff do not seat you, you have to seat yourself after they give you your eating utensils. The food was good it was warm, shrimp were good & hot, crab legs were very small. I gave 1 star for service because the waitress did not keep my glass filled with water. Another thing that I read on the reviews is about the tip that is included with your bill I disliked that to the fullest. It was 9 of us & they put all 9 charges on one bill. We were paying separate. It’s ok I have definitely had better service. The food was good to me.

If you’re in for a “Let’s see how much good food you can eat before you explode” then this is the place. Everything is top notch here. Always Fresh. Even when I come and it’s not during peak time. Priced very reasonable. $25 for 2 people w/ drinks on a Friday. Full sushi bar. I like the garlic shrimp, peppered chicken and potatoes. I didn’t take a picture of everything but I tried to get a pic of the things we ate. Definitely bringing friends to this place for a fast meal.

My first time eating here! My mom & I had a great lunch that turned into dinner because of the time!
We went on a week day around 3 almost 4pm so it was $14.00 per person.
I like that their show you gratuity/tip percentages based on your bill/how many people!
THE FOOD WAS SUPER GOOD EXCEPT THE FRIED RICE; it was STALE & HARD!
ID WAIT ON THEM TO BRING OUT HOT FOOD EACH TIME OR DIG FROM THE BOTTOM TO GET THE WARM/HOT TEMP FOOD!

I really enjoy the food here, its always been fresh and tasty. The waitresses are all very attentive, even on very busy times. One of the best Asian buffets in the KC area in my opinion, and the price is very reasonable.
