Garden Buffet — Restaurant in Roseburg

We wasted our time and money so you don't have to.

First after sitting down it took 20 minutes to get our drinks. Our drinks that are priced separately from the meal at $4 a soda was watered down and disgusting. Second after getting our plate of food we had to flag someone down to get silverware which took 10 minutes.

After waisting the first 30 minutes now on to the food.

At $18 per person it just wasn't worth it. The food was all bland and mostly flavorless. It reminded me of the junk you'd buy for a quick and easy meal from the frozen dinner section of the grocery market. Nothing tasted fresh and everything tasted like a microwave dinner. I've had better food from an elementary school cafeteria back in the day.

The bathrooms were absolutely gross. There was urine on the walls, poop on the stall doors, and that was after wading through the water on the floor.

I know this is a new restaurant but everything about it was exactly like the old china buffet that was there previously. There is a reason that restaurant failed. Copying their formula is just going to lead this new restaurant to the same fate.

If I could give this restaurant less than one star I would.

My advice is to save your money and eat somewhere else for cheaper, better quality, and a...

Decent buffet. If you like China Sun up north in Springfield, you will like this place. They have mostly the same dishes, including coconut shrimp. You can tell the oil is fresh on fried foods, like the asian donuts. The french fries were actually really good. Ranch, too. Most of the food could have been kept warmer. The "Crab puffs" don't have any Crab in them, and the filling is a little too sweet. The spring rolls also lack filling. The honey pork was good. The chicken stick was overcooked and dry. The rice and noodles could have been better, not exactly sure hoe to explain that. The sushi is decent. It's buffet sushi, so it's not top tier, and it's small portions and they dont put out a lot at any time, but I think that's a good idea to reduce waste and keep it fresh. The desserts were cleared out, so that's a good sign. The chocolate cake was pretty good. They have blue bunny brand...

I’m a person who always wants to give out good reviews or no reviews. I was so happy when a new restaurant opened and it was a buffet. I had high hopes.

Basically the food is mediocre. The atmosphere is mediocre. The weight staff didn’t really seem to keep to a role. It would be nice if they wore uniforms.

I was impressed with the heat and steam rising off of the buffet. The same steam makes the dining area muggy.

They did have a small selection of salads, desserts, seafood, and other traditional dishes. The dish I liked the best was the sautéed green beans, they were cooked to perfection. The sushi rolls were good. They were a bit small but moist and tasty.

We had lunch after church on a Sunday and discovered that all day Sunday and holidays were considered dinner rates. So we paid the$17.99 a person.

In conclusion, I probably will not go back again unless somebody offers...
