" I visited Chen's Garden Buffet last weekend and it was a mixed bag. The chicken dishes had decent flavor but everything else seemed off. The rice was bland, and the prawns were overcooked. I didn't notice any bugs during my visit, unlike some other reviews. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I can’t say I would return anytime soon. It just doesn't live up to my expectations for a Chinese buffet. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just want to say, going to Chen's Garden Buffet felt like a gamble! The food had no distinct flavors and it was borderline lukewarm at best. Thankfully, the dessert section had some redeeming qualities. The chocolate pudding was surprisingly delightful! It's a buffet, so at least you can eat until you’re full. However, considering the low quality of the main dishes, I doubt I will return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been going to Chen's Garden Buffet for years, but the last time I went was a real letdown. First of all, there were several roaches in the dining area, and just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I received undercooked chicken. I know they’re a buffet, but there should be a level of professionalism to ensure customer safety. I won't go back again if they don't address these issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chen's Garden Buffet after not going for a year. The quality has definitely changed. The food was lukewarm and lacked flavor—something I never experienced previously. I felt the buffet layout was great, but they need to keep a closer eye on freshness. Service was friendly, but it did little to brighten my overall feeling about the meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I randomly stopped at Chen's while traveling through Minden. The decor is charming but the food was a completely different story. It lacked authenticity and careful preparation. The fried rice was mediocre at best, and the chicken dishes tasted greasy. The service was decent, but I left feeling disappointed and likely wouldn’t recommend to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepped into Chen's for the first time after hearing conflicting reviews. The array of dishes available was promising, yet I found myself disappointed with the taste and freshness overall. The dessert bar was the highlight of the meal, but I can't help but wish the savory options matched up. All in all, it'll take more time before I consider a second visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Chen's Garden Buffet expecting a nice meal. The atmosphere was livelier than I anticipated, which was a bonus! However, once we served ourselves, I was horrified to find that many of the dishes were cold and unappetizing. The staff was friendly, but the food should be the focus. We were charged a bit much for not-so-great dishes. They really need to step up their game with the quality. " (*Curated Review*)
