That said I was in town, actually Warrensburg for my daughters graduation and we wanted to get some Chinese for lunch. After stopping by another place that was closed, we stumbled on Mama Garden in a very safe part of town. Walking in, the staff is extremely friendly and excitedly seats customers. They do have a "traditional" Chinese buffet vibe with some art and statues so the ambiance has a bit of rooted authenticity to it. I believe I counted 6 buffet stations with a lot of different items as to be expected. For me I like to get a first place of small samples so I stocked up on mei fun, low mein, fried chicken wing, egg roll, spring roll, California roll and a sweet and sour chicken. First up my observation which both my kids echoed is the food was rather bland. While the two pastas were cooked perfectly, they lacked the quintessential flavors that make those dishes so memorable, rather they were just boring carbs. Next up were the fried rolls again so boring and bland I had to grab some soy sauce and hot mustard just to make it somewhat desirable. As for any kind of rolls at a buffet you get what you asked for. The secret to sushi is the warm rice and cold proteins that are best as soon as they're made. The roll I got was a California roll with Koni on top with a yum yum sauce. It was ok, a step above grocery store sushi but it had been sitting for a bit. My daughter got a couple rolls and she liked them. That's mainly because she's not privy to good sushi that much. The fried chicken wing was SLAMMING. While it didn't have any flavor, it was juicy and crispy which I put some sweet and sour sauce on making it great. I also tried the kung pow shrimp and it was perhaps the best seasoned item on the menu, making it very tasty. Plus, the shrimp weren't overcooked, which makes them rubbery. Round two and my daughters dishes were as follows, the fried rice was probably the worst I've ever had. Zero flavor, and I mean none with being overcooked a lot. This disappointed me so much I might have to go and get some from a Chinese restaurant back home. We all loved "chicken on a stick" as it seems to be the most consistent item between all Chinese restaurants across the nation, and believe me, I've lived all over the nation so I know. Again it was juicy, slid off the stick with ease and had a good mouth feel. My one daughter got some loaded potato that almost made us both gag. It had some lavender tasting cheese sauce on it which has never sat well in food from my point of view. Avoid it at all costs. The sweet donuts were really good per both my kids. Finally, the do have a dessert bar but I'm not sure about having the warm apple pie next to the broiled fish, that's nasty. That said, the ice cream was good my eldest reassured me. In summary I thought the experience was a let down in terms of flavor yet the variety has something for everyone. The people are nice and the price is right. That said when I have an itch for a food I have to eat something that's at least in the ball park and Mama Garden let me down. I won't be back in part because I live half way across the country but when I do come back to visit, I'll give other restaurants a shot.

I get it almost every time. Sadly, the last time I went, I got my usual, and it was not good. The description on the menu says it has "assorted veggies," and if you look at the photo of this dish on their online menu, you can see it has lots of colorful vegetables including baby corn, green beans, carrots, mushrooms, celery, sweet peppers, etc. Yesterday, I was underwhelmed and surprised. There was chicken , yes, but the "assorted veggies" was five pieces of celery and 3 mushroom slices! All drowned in a ridiculous amount of sauce. Really gloppy and unappealing. And, it was barely warm!! When I expressed my disappointment to the waitress, she tried to tell me that only the "Veggie Lovers" had vegetables. NO. I've gotten this dish for years, and it always had lots of vegetables. The waitress did then bring me a small dish of steamed carrots and a broccoli floret, but I will think twice before I recommend Thai Spice to anyone again. Evidently, the quality has really gone downhill. So sad. My friend ordered Pineapple Fried Rice, and she said it also was short of the usual ingredients. This was the Thai Spice on Douglas.

I'll never plan to go here again on a Sunday evening -- the price is double, the quality is low, and the environment is chaotic. The waiter also forgot our lemonade, but I didn't even bother to remind them because my appetite was already gone. I'm giving these stars only for the hibachi -- it was just okay.
