Mama Garden — Restaurant in Independence

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mama Garden, a Chinese buffet that left me utterly impressed and satisfied. From the moment I walked in, the inviting atmosphere and attentive staff set the tone for what turned out to be a remarkable dining experience.

The sheer variety of dishes Mama Garden offers is truly astonishing. From classic favorites like General Tso’s Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork to a tantalizing assortment of dim sum and sushi, the buffet spread caters to every palate. What struck me the most was the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The flavors were authentic, and it was evident that the chefs took great care in crafting each dish.

The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the selection of seafood dishes. The succulent shrimp, perfectly seasoned calamari, and delicate steamed fish were a testament to the kitchen’s skill and dedication to delivering top-notch cuisine. Equally impressive were the vegetarian options, which were just as flavorful and thoughtfully prepared.

What truly sets Mama Garden apart is their commitment to maintaining the buffet’s freshness. Dishes were constantly replenished, and the presentation remained immaculate throughout my visit. The dessert section was a sweet ending to the meal, featuring an array of pastries, fresh fruits, and delightful mochi.

From the warm hospitality to the mouthwatering dishes, Mama Garden exceeded all expectations. Whether you’re a fan of Chinese cuisine or simply looking for a diverse and delectable dining experience, I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to Mama Garden Chinese Buffet. It’s a feast for the senses that will leave you planning your return before you’ve even...

I'm conflicted on how to write this review. I've been here several times and I'm not sure I'll be going back. The food and the selection is always wonderful. However, the majority of the time I've been there the staff have been very rude. Usually we don't get a refill and all, and there have been times when we've been halfway through our meal and the server will appear out of nowhere, throw the bill on the table and say, "Pay!".

Last night a friend and I went to Mama Garden, and we ran out of water halfway through our meal. The server never gave us more. We spend thirty minutes trying to flag her down and she kept ignoring us. Then she brought up the bill and we asked her to split it, which she did, and then I paid with a card. She brought the receipt back for me to sign, I signed it, and then she slammed her finger down on the receipt I'd just signed and said, "Tip!" I just looked at her for a moment in shock of her being so rude, and then I said, "I have cash for tip." She said okay, and then proceeded to stand there and stare at me waiting for me to lay it down. I just looked at her and asked if there was anything else she needed. She took the plates and walked away, and then made a show of continually coming by and staring at the table looking for her tip. After that treatment I reduced my tip to a dollar and left. I'm kind of tired of rude people, and I'm not sure I'm going to go back if they are going to let their employees continue to treat...

Very disrespectful, and tried to rush me out in the first 30min.

I arrived at 2:46.. its currently 3:36 as i type this.

Facts: im a disabled young adult (terminal) and i have a total of "16 teeth" of my 32 original teeth due to health complications.

Story: i was given a both ordered my drink.. i didn't even sit i walked straight to the food its been 2 weeks since having 9 teeth pulled "first sold food meal in at least a week"

I sat down and started eating.. 4 long bites later my waitress handed me my check and asked if i was done.. i was actively chewing. (Within 25min of arriving)

My total was $15.58 so i gave her $16 and figured she would be back with a receipt and change, 5min later i see over my shoulder shes sitting at the table next to me sweet talking a coworker.

I grabbed a second plate, walking back i asked for a receipt to prove i paid so i wouldn't get charged again.. she showed frustration, she brought me the bill again (claimed not paid) so i left the second plate walked to the register up front and asked for a real receipt and my $0.50 because she didn't deserve it anymore (never gave it to her anyway) and was met with more frustration and confusion.. she understood me and wanted to play, they again gave me the same bill and come change.

I wouldn't suggest this place every other time im here there's a problem and they aren't constant.. normally you pay at the desk leaving but i guess...
