Buffet Garden Resturant

Terrible. Food was as sour as the service. Head to Kingston and do Mandarin if you are looking for a buffet. Very disappointed.

Disgusting. Absolutely repulsive. We used to go once every 2 weeks or so, the last 4 or more times we have been there we have left hungry as the food was so rubbery and watery it was completely inedible, and the service was so terrible. I couldn’t even drink my GLASS of WATER the last two times. Don’t think it was coincidence that we both felt sick the evening after the last few times… In fact, the last time, we were both feeling sick before leaving!

We have ordered take-​out from here more than once and often do not get what we ordered. This last time our order was off by 20.00 in that we were missing 20.00 worth of food that we had already paid for. We had to call back 3 times in order to get anyone to come and give us what we paid for. The first time the gentleman who answered the phone (did not speak great english) just said, okay, I’ll look into it… An hour later after we had finished eating we called back (same man answered the phone) and he acted suprised that we still were requesting our food that we ordered. At first he said he’d credit us what we ordered and «record it in the computer». We said no, we would like our food or a refund. Finally, he agreed to send someone out with the food that we ordered and of his own volition, offered to credit us back the cost of the missing food. An hour passed still no driver or delivery. We called a third time and the same man, exasperated told us he was sending someone right now. Finally we received the food.
This is not the first time this has happened. The food is okay, but not good enough to risk being screwed every time you order from them. Time to move on. Never again.

Sadly, I have to start off by saying that, at the very end of my meal, I found a hair in my food. A few hairnets for kitchen staff might be a good investment. No rubber gloves were in sight either at the sushi counter, not surprising.
Since I did have the full meal before being grossed out, I will comment on it.
The sushi and sashimi were varied and excellent, though the fish was a little watery from being recently thawed.
The salad bar was not large but there was a good selection. The peel and eat shrimp however could not be peeled, the shell stuck like glue. Of course they weren’t deveined either, which doesn’t appeal to me since that black vein is the shrimp’s digestive track and I don’t want to eat that.
Hot items ranged from good to inedible (the ribs could not be chewed or cut through with a knife, and some of the items were heavily breaded). A more skilled chef might be able to make these cheap meats more edible.
Staff seemed to be mostly bored and did as little as possible to get by, which might explain why many of the food items were mislabelled. A hazard to anyone who has food allergies, not to mention confusing to someone who likes to know what she is eating. What was clearly shrimps was labelled pork, etc. Totally off the wall.
Anyway, due to the hair thing grossing me out, I am unlikely to visit this joint again. Even the North China Buffet, which is pretty bad, may be better than this.

Great food, for the buffet or take out!
General tso chicken, sweet and sour pork are killer. Very nice staff.
