Buffet Garden

We invited 27 guests to this restaurant to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday, and paid for it ourselves. We reserved a month ahead of time. When we arrived, we were not expected, so had to wait while the long table was set up. The service was slow, however the waitresses were pleasant. The food was good, but not very hot. When we paid our bill, we were hit with a 10% surcharge, for no reason that we could see. Considering most of us were seniors, I had been led to believe that the entire bill would be REDUCED by 10%. I was able to negotiate the seniors discount off each individual seniors meal, but still had to pay the surcharge. Clearly, I did not tip the staff, although I usually tip 10% to 15% in this restaurant. Worse still, none of the staff speak fluent English, although I am told by a Chinese friend that of course they do ... unless faced with an irate customer. We will probably eat at this restaurant again, but we will never tip here again.

Our experience at this restaurant was the same. Everything was tastless and greasy, I was never offered a second cup of coffee and the waitress would reach across in front of us to take things from the table without so much as an excuse me . Never again!!!

My husband and I had a horrible experience at the Buffet Garden. They made the worst Ceasar we had ever tasted. When we complained to the waitress she looked at us as though we had a 3rd eyeball in the middle of our forehead. Another waitress come over and when we complained she just smiled and walked away. The next nightmare was the god awful food...everything tasted the same. The food was totally tasteless and again when we complained they said well it is still the same cook that we always had. The staff were argumentative and rude. We will never eat at this garbage restaurant again. If you are interested in good chinese food I would stronly suggest the Modern Cafe on Front St in Belleville. My husband and I went there for dinner last night and ordered the dinner for 2. We had more than enough to eat while we were there and brought home enought for supper for both of us tonight. We each had a drink and the bill was less than $30. I would strongly suggest the Modern to anyone looking for good affordable food and the service was amazing.

Lots of food for a good price. Never had a problem with it being cold or anything. We frequently order takeout for lunch at work. And with the new bridge and their quick order time it's the new fast food stop!

The food was mediocre at best and the selection very limited. The dishes were filthy, as were the washrooms and the table was sticky. The waitresses looked like they wanted to kill themselves and barely spoke to us when we went for dinner.

Awful, not really Asian, Asian food. Blech!

Very good food variety, tasty and at proper temperature. And the employes have warm smiles.

Found the food to be cold and undercooked. Even though the restaurant was not busy, we were rushed out. Even the soup was lukewarm. Not sure how you mess up rice - but this restaurant did.

My husband and I went to the buffet garden with hopes of having a good meal, when we sat to eat our supper we were soon to discover that everything on our plates was cold except the rice. The chicken balls were as hard as hockey pucks, the chicken wings looked uncooked and cold. We did not even eat any food we had only tried a few things and were very disappointed. We asked to speak to the manager, he walked around like it was his first time there. We had to go to the counter to speak with him. We told him about the food and he was going to charge us full price for both terrible plates of food which we had only sampled. I complained so he charged us for only one plate plus our drinks that we did not even touch. I asked him for a head office number or a number to reach his boss. He told us there was no number. I asked for his bosses name, he said he did not know it, I said you don't know your bosses name he said he only knows him as boss. Whatever. I laughed and told him I would be calling tomorrow to speak to someone. So my rating for this place is all around poor, the food, and the service.

Delicious foods at reasonable price.

Excellent food and selection...A+++

Your diversity in the foods you offered was excellent a great mix of Canadian and Asian dishes. Our favourites battered mushrooms, French fries and the vegetable rice. We also enjoyed your reasonable prices. Keep up the good cuisine!
