China Garden

This is the best Chinese food in the area! I just wish I had money to eat there more often! I personally recommend the rice noodles if you can get there for the lunch buffet. They also have great sushi, cream potatoes, and egg drop soup. Servers and managers are polite and friendly.

Best Chinese buffet in the Dayton area. We came from Beavercreek to try this one two weeks ago and we just left from our 2^nd visit.
Great food and they keep bringing fresh out. They will make you anything they are running low on. Management and servers are very nice.
So much better than the Kettering and Riverside buffets.

This place used to be — USED to be — the best Chinese buffet in the greater Dayton area. Just ate here today, for lunch, after having last eaten there approximately four months ago (when it was still damn good). Firstly, the single best straight buffet item (as opposed to the hibachi; more on that later) that this place ever offered was their bourbon chicken. Apparently, though, they’ve decided to strike this from their offerings (and instead, offer the not-​at-​all-​comparable-​in-​quality «rose chicken»).
Secondly, about that hibachi: Time was, one could walk in at lunch time on any given weekday and witness the restaurant fairly filled to capacity, with many of the customers choosing to select the (pretty daggone great) hibachi offerings. But not this time. The hibachi was well stocked, the neon sign reading «Hibachi Grill» was well lit up, and the actual hibachi grill was … un-​freaking-​staffed.
Also, about those previous big weekday lunch crowds: They are clearly a thing of the past. The place was MAYBE a quarter full, which in the past would’ve been unheard of at this restaurant.
As we recognized not one of the employees, from the cashier/​manager-​on-​duty, to the servers, to the food re-​stockers (or whatever they’re called), I can only surmise that this restaurant is under new management And the decisions that they have made/​are still making seem to be — on this day, at least — not as well received as the way that this place used to be run (and we certainly aren’t exactly eager to rush back here and spend our money; and we used to frequent this place one HELL of a lot). :Sigh: I guess Thomas Wolfe was right.

Food was bland and overcooked. The general tso’s was not spicy at all and kind of tasted like a peanut sauce. I did not try the grill. There seemed to be at least 3 flies hanging out by the grill ingredients and sushi.
Service was good. Drinks were kept filled and empty plates promptly removed.
Price was cheaper than most Sunday buffets, however my credit card was charged twice. The bank removed the second charge for me.

The service is yesteryear! Fantastic! The food top notch Chinese quisine! Did I mention the service? Very personable.
