Asian Garden Buffet

Food was bland. Desert ice cream was diluted with no taste. Other pastries tasted old. more

We stopped in Asian Garden Buffet because we were in the area and hungry. We could tell the food looked dried out (so Im not sure why the staff didnt figure it out sooner) but we were hungry and decided something had to taste good, but we were wrong. All of the food was dried out and old and we got there at 7:30, which is prime dinner time. I lost my appetite and stopped eating and when we tried to complain the waitress pretended either she didnt speak english or didnt hear us cause she just walked away and then when I told the lady at the front desk she said "no the chef says it is fresh." Two problems with this, she did not walk away and ask the chef so someone else must have said the same thing or she was lying, and also, working in customer service you never tell the customer "no, youre wrong." The buffet was 10 dollars a person, which is really expensive, especially if the staff is just going to insult you. When the economy is bad you want to wow your customers, not tick them off. I will not go here again. Pros: none Cons: dried out food, staff in denial, expensive more

I'm a mother and I love Asian cuisine! I frequent this restaurant in particular, at least once a week & the price is great. We only pay around $20 for a family of 3. This is my first time writing a review & I just had to write about this place. Yes, it was that good! They have huge sushi portions; veggie, cream cheese w/veggie, shrimp, & salmon, w/or w/out seaweed wrap. What makes this place so unique is that they also have a Mongolian buffet. The cooks make the food right in front of you. They have a very nice variety of Asian cuisine. They have items such as: General Tso's Chicken, Japanese Chicken, Buttered Shrimp, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Happy Family, Phad Thai, Squid, Sole Fish, Baked Salmon, Snow Crab Legs, Fried Frogs Legs, & Egg Custard Tarts. Of course, I'm just naming off a few of what I like. They have a much more on the buffet than what I named off here. The staff keeps the place very clean & the buffet full. Just before an entree pan is close to being empty, the staff beings out a fresh batch. We never have to wait! The staff is friendly & the place is warm and inviting. They also have cute trinkets you can buy for the kids & crystal bracelets, & necklaces of different colors you can buy at the register. The Asian Garden Buffet is located in the Northpointe Plaza which has retail shops such as: Wal-Mart Supercenter, Bath & Body Works, Petland, Amy's Hallmark Shop, & a Blockbuster Video Store; just to name a few. We also frequent Sheridans Frozen Custard, which is a few blocks north off of North High St. They have yummy homemade frozen custard there, the kids love to watch them make it through the glass. There is also a Rave Motion Pictures close by if you turn east on East Powell Rd then make a left onto Gemini Place. My family & I live near Galloway, Ohio & let me tell you, Asian Garden Buffet is the main reason we make a 30 min drive every week up to Lewis Center, Ohio. Check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Pros: Large sushi portions, friendly staff, nice variety of Asian cuisine & a Mongolian buffet. Cons: I live in Galloway, Ohio. Asian Garden Buffet is located in Lewis Center, Ohio. Even though it a bit of a drive for my family, it is well worth the 30min drive!!!! more
