Mandarin Garden

The service is normally mediocre at best. The ladies love my husband but they sure don’t like my kids or me. God forbid a lady ask for a refill! The food is not very warm and the sushi is the worst I’ve ever had. The food is just bland. And their deep fried stuff (crab rangoons, egg rolls, etc.) is never warm enough. Their fried dumplings are good. That’s about it, though.

Typical Chinese buffet. We had a fly and a little cockroach join our party. If you’re a freak about bugs I’d steer clear. If you’re like me and can secretly hyperventilate until I can convince myself it’s just a little bug, you’ll be fine. We let the staff know and they gave us a discount.

The food was warm… Not hot. It was also not very tasty. Prices were cheap. That was the only plus.

If this is the best Chinese food in Rolla, find another cuisine. This is literally the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I decided to try the buffet. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour. The lo mein was slimy and gross. The sesame chicken was cold. Ick.

My daughter is a GRAD student at MST and her mother visit from LOUISIANA. We had asked a sister from church for Chinese cuisine. This place has been recommended for us! We were BLESSED!

Me and my family have been going here for years. In my opinion it is the best Chinese food around. They have great service, a great buffet and the prices aren’t bad at all. I would recommend this place to anybody.

I got takeout from here one night before a volleyball game. I got the General Tso’s chicken dinner, which came with fried rice and an egg roll. It was cheap… about $ 6.50 for dinner. So that’s good. +1 star.
Other than that, I liked that the fried rice was not super greasy. The chicken, however, was nothing like any General Tso’s chicken I’ve ever had before. Yucky. I’ve never seen so much celery in a dish before… Bland, not spicy at all, just blah. They’ve got a buffet that a lot of people seemed to be enjoying, so maybe I’d try that. You can also get takeout from the buffet. I’ll try the other places in town before going back.

I went here with a large group of people for dinner. The buffet was your average Chinese buffet with some good tasting food and plenty of food I try to avoid. The rolls they had on the buffet were not very good and I avoided them. The baked crap didn’t taste like crab but still was one of my favorite things on the buffet. The different types of chicken were all good as well. They also had some American choices on the buffet. I would come back IF I had a craving for Chinese food and happened to be driving by but would not go out of my way to go here.

I got very very sick the next morning after eating dinner there! Sick for 48 hrs now. I may live but won’t eat here again!

We visted Rolla when our buddy was graduating from Basic at fort Leonard wood. Based on Unilocal reviews we gave this place a shot.
I want to start out that I am not a fan of Chinese Buffets however this one was good. Food was tasty, fresh, hot and good. If I am ever in Rolla again I would stop in.

Ok, since I’m from Vegas let’s just say this place is AWFUL!!. The worst off strip Chinesse/​Asian buffet is better than the Mandarin Garden. Once we were sat we wern’t given a menu. We were told that it’s Buffet. So, we had no choice but to eat the old, barely warm buffet style food. They say they have 80 items on the buffet, and let me just say that 4 colors of jello and cookies out of a package still in it’s original plactic tray shouldn’t count. Nothing was good. Is that fair? I think so. This small town would fair better if it would just close.

I stopped in here for the first time with my grandma. I ordered some food, and I explained to the guy at the front that my g-​ma couldn’t get out of the car, and that we wanted to eat outside. He said it wasn’t a problem. The food arrived steaming hot. He placed the items in trays so it was easier for my g-​ma.
The food was delicious. I ordered orange chicken w/​fried rice. The portion was huge! My g-​ma ordered Shrimp w/​Lobster sauce& Egg Drop Soup. She said it was the best egg drop soup!
Overall the Mandarin Garden exceeded my expectations. They even let me charge my cell phone inside while we ate, as I had been traveling all day. Big thanks!
I will definitely return the next time I’m in Rolla, MO!

Delicious chinese food

This place seems like Cheers to me. (Everybody knows everybody.)Everytime I come here no matter how long ago I left this town I run into SOMEONE here. (Well here or Wal-​Mart.)
My favorite Rolla Chinese Buffet place. Spring Rolls are to die for! It is the cleaniest Chinese place that I have ever been to. Also if you get a «to go order» they charge the buffet price which is I think 7.95 and you can fill the box up. Which for me feeds me like 3 meals. So I load up on the sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls, and fried rice. Make sure and bring cash because if it’s less than $ 10 you can’t use your debit card.

Best Chinese place in Rolla. They are obsessive about cleaning everything. Food prices are not bad.
The only real beef I have with the place is that they do not take credit card for anything less than $ 10. This policy has been a PITA to both my friends and I. Oh, and they dont sell fortune cookies, which is a real bummer since the ones at Great Wall (where they do sell fortune cookies) do not taste as good.
