" Our family regularly goes to Chen's Garden Buffet, but over time their food quality has diminished significantly. Everything tasted old and stale on our last visit. We were surprised that the desserts were still good though. The servers are polite, but that doesn't help much when you're trying to enjoy a meal. We’ll probably look for alternatives for our next outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Utilizing a buffet format is always great at places like Chen's, where you can sample multiple dishes at once. Yet I left a little grossed out. Many selections didn’t taste fresh, and we saw some less-than-hygienic practices happening in the kitchen. The decor is inviting, which makes it a stark contrast to what I consumed. Unfortunately, I don’t plan on coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Chen's Garden Buffet again after hearing that they had made some improvements. Unfortunately, too many dishes lacked flavor and variety. I saw some dishes that looked like they had been sitting for too long. However, on the plus side, I appreciated the clean environment and friendly staff. If they can focus on the food quality, they might regain loyal customers. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a birthday dinner, and while it was nice that the staff acknowledged it with a simple dessert, the food quality was what fell flat. The sweet and sour chicken had a strange aftertaste and the fried noodles seemed stale. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, but the food disappointment soured my mood. Overall, it was very lackluster. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance of Chen's is quite inviting, the food did not meet the mark. It was rather bland with no clear flavors. The portion sizes were decent, but that didn't make up for the stale, cold food. The service was okay, yet it felt more like a chore than a dining experience. I’d look elsewhere before choosing to dine there again. " (*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*)
