China Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Starkville

The food here is beyond awful. I do not understand how this place has four stars before this. Almost all of the chicken items either smell and taste like chemicals, smell awful, over breaded, dry, or very bland. Actually, literally almost everything here tastes bland. The pork items and soups even smell and taste like chemicals and awful. I would not trust their salad bar or seafood period. Everything looks so sad here. Nothing is 100% clean. Restrooms are poorly attended to. If you come here, expect chemicals, food poisoning, and cross contact. I will never come here again. At least my waiter was nice, I think? I would give this place zero stars if possible. Edit: I forgot to mention that the atmosphere was uncomfortable, and the waiters will watch, stare, and police the area like hawks. The lighting is also not the best...

I tried a little bit of everything at this restaurant about a month ago the last time I went. I withheld making a review even though I thought the food was very mediocre, because I thought maybe it was just a bad day for the cooks. Giving them a second try I see that the issue is deeper than just a bad day.

When I say I tried everything, I mean it. I took a small sample of literally everything. The best I could say about any of it, the shrimp dishes were passable, the muscles were alright. The beef was overcooked and chewy, the sushi was unpleasant, the broccoli and cheese tasted expired (it's was the only sample I couldn't finish).

I will not be going back. I'm rather...

The best Chinese restaurant and buffet in the town. You have so many choice of various kinds of delicious food on the bar that you can't eat them all in one visit. All food is fresh cooked and yammy yammy. Service is excellent as well, waiter come to serve the table several times, refill my drink and grab the trash with hospitality manner. And I bought a box to go, it is the same price as you eat in, that's amazing. I have been to other Chinese buffet nearby, they charge the to go box by pond. I think China Garden is the best one in this area, definitely Will...
