i love this place i have never had a bad experience there in over 15 yrs i have ate here. its a comfort place. The food is so GREAT. ITS QUIET and the staff and the wongs are very nice.
First time eating here but not impressed. Shrimp sauce thin as water. Soup not good all. Other food tasteless and barely warm. Would not recommend this place
Lots of variety, but not much service or ambiance--not all items marked as to what they were. Great buffet price, $11.66.
Love this local Asian food. The ladies and men make fresh food so often everything is fresh. They have a Mongolian grill to make your dinner as you like. Owners, Emily and Daniel are very sweet special folks. We have been dining here for over 20+ years!
This place is pretty good. Most the reviews are overly dramatic. I’ve been going here for years and never have gotten sick. It’s obviously not top of the line but you’re eating for around $10 a person all you want so what do you expect? It’s one of the better Chinese buffets around here.
Where can I start. This is quite possibly the BEST Chinese food I have EVER tasted. The fact that for $15 dollars you can get access to a whole buffet that isn't terrible, a Mongolian grill where the chef makes everything right in front of you is a win win for me. Everything on the buffet is so tender, I've not once ate something that didn't make my mouth water.
I used to be a huge fan of this place. Now, there is very limited selection readily available. The past 3 times I have been, I have had to request items to be prepared because majority of the buffet was empty. I just can't justify going there a 4th time in hopes that the buffet is back to what it used to be. Now, I go to China Wok Buffet in Kingsport or the two buffets in Johnson City.
I ate there yesterday with a friend.
Pros: Friendly service; Mongolian grill is fresh, well-stocked, and the most orderly with a good selection of all the grills I've ever tried; different takes on popular Asian buffet staples.
Cons: If you don't go during the lunch or supper rushes, then much of the food on the buffet is dried out or sparse.
Was extremely sparse in food options, chicken was dry, egg rolls undercooked, and the soup looked like it had sat out all day with a film of grease covering the surface. Paid $27.60 for two people and it was really not worth it. Go to the Hibachi Grill in Johnson City, it's better and cheaper. (Btw even the fortune cookies were stale)
The food was great, the service not so much. Not once was my table offered a refill on our drinks. I have worked in customer service most of my life, and I believe in tipping well, but I didn't leave one today. She picked up our plates, brought the ticket and said "thank you" We were there 15 minutes
This was hands down THE worst Asian restaurant we've ever had the displeasure to dine in. The Hot & Sour soup was SWEET! The owner's wife said that they don't like to put any Chinese flavorings into the foods because the customers don't like it. Omg, it's supposed to have Asian flavors! There was one weird flavor that ran through the dishes I took one bite each of, & it was NOT at all pleasant. Trying the Coconut Chicken was a horrible experience, as if tasting suntan lotion. The owner's wife also told us that all of her customers needed to get used to that food because they won't change just to please them. Awful place!!! Never going back!!!
The food was exceptional. Love the Mangolian bar. Service was absolute excellent. Waitress was very attentive and we were a party of 14 tonight. Would very highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Keep up the excellence you have in food and service.
My family has been going to Ming Garden for approximately 14 yrs. This is still our very favorite place to eat. We love the Buffet and especially the Mongolian Grill. The owners are super friendly, the waiters very courteous and friendly, the cooks are very friendly and everyone always ready to serve. Great for family or by yourself. I encourage you to go.
The building is nice and the restaurant is clean. The prices are in line with other buffets in the area. The food is warm and usually fresh, but it is extremely bland. I'm not sure why, but it has less flavor than every other Chinese food restaurant in the area. I've gone here 3 times over the last 5 years each time hoping it gets better. It does not.
