Decent little place in a good general location, but a lot that's a bit hard to access. Their shrimp noodles are quite good.

Sweet and sour chicken had absolutely no flavor. Tasted like water somehow. Fried rice was terrible as well

Food was cold, buffet shared with sick people. I ordered to go. The soup was a glob, tasted awful. To go is slow. Customers don't tip the drivers. read more

Very flavorful, very fresh, best place in PB to eat. Great service. Clean buffet. Authentic Chinese cuisine.

A week ago today, 2 friends and I ate here for supper. We had the buffet. Normally it's good. However, this time it was awful. A good percentage of what I got wasn't good nor fresh We won't be back for awhile read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This is the nasties crap I've ever eaten in my life. I ordered chicken and broccoli and egg rolls through DoorDash. I didn't get any duck sauce or soy sauce in the bag first of all. The chicken and broccoli was made with instant brown gravy Mix. Not a typical chicken and broccoli sauce that makes it Chinese food. The eggroll was cold and tasted like it was made this morning. The rice was hard and dry. I wish I was able to go to the restaurant and get a refund but unfortunately I'm stuck at work. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Food was terrible and extremely bland. Mongolian beef had no flavor. Sweet and sour chicken was chewy and almost no chicken inside the breading. This place was good about 8 years ago. I don't know if it's under new ownership or what, but I will never order from here again. Total waste of money!!! read more

China Gardens - a takeout container of fried food - Chinese Near Me - Poplar Bluff, Missouri

See all

I would give no stars if I could. The food was tasteless, and learned that they encourage their waitresses to have extra relations with customers that tip more. A modern day whore house. Poor ethics and bad food. Will not return. read more

China Garden is one of the best local owned businesses in Poplar Bluff. The buffet is always clean, fresh, and delicious. I would recommend to anyone visiting our town. read more

One of the best places to eat in town. Have been going here almost 20 years and it's never been better. Favorite dishes are the Mongolian Beef and the Chicken & Shrimp. Egg Rolls and Rangoon are also fantastic. read more

Food is horrible. I recommend not coming here, you will regret it. The chicken is the worst I have ever eaten in my entire life. Noodles are awful, and the service was the worst. I didn't receive my drink until halfway through my meal and the waitress kept squinting at me, but I couldn't figure out why. All in all, it was terrible. edit- When I went to get more food, I came back and they had taken my fork. read more

Absolutely worst Chinese food place i have ever went to in my entire life. Every bit of meat in that place tasted like the smell canned cat food/ dog food. Their noodles were disgusting, rice was chunky, i paid $32 for food that was absolutely horrible. read more

I loved the creamy noodles probably the best thing on the menu and I love the mint ice cream

Best Chinese food in the area. In fact, I've lived in many other cities and have never found Chinese food that matches China Garden. It's always a must when we're back in town. read more

loved coming for lunch yesterday. everything we had from the buffet was delicious. price is on point as well.

A friend and I went and we couldn't finish our plates. We felt like we were going to get sick from the food. Food was bland, cold, or worse. I hadn't been to this restaurant in a very long time, but I don't remember the food ever being that bad before. Even the drinks tasted odd. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Poplar Bluff. All you can eat buffet. Their menu is more of an Americanized Chinese menu. even if traditional Chinese food is not your thing, you can find something on the buffet you will like. My favorite dish is the Moo Goo Gai Pan. read more

I have enjoyed Chinese cuisine since the early 1950's and regard myself as an epicure, though I do make allowances for Asian cuisine prepared in the U.S. for Americans, I found that ordering from the menu is to be avoided. The pork and onions, with garlic, was rapidly thrown together, passed over a hot grill and served within mere minutes; it tasted like it. If your sense of taste is in your feet you will not notice the difference; to me, it was barely edible. Stick to the buffet. read more

Came here at 7pm on a Saturday night. The lady at the front had a line at the register so she told us to take a seat. Every table was either full or dirty. I've counted 3 waitresses walking around apologizing and refilling drinks but mostly they're just standing around talking about how busy they have been. The buffet was full of empty dishes and crumbs. While we were sitting waiting for *any* food to be replaced on the buffet two of the workers sat at a table next to us to fold silverware and complained about their management the entire time. I wonder if we will pay full dinner price when we have only had rice to eat??? read more

Here for business so didn't know what to expect.. Pretty bad honestly. Ordered house low mein special and got rice somehow and ordered general chicken and I swear it was sweet and sour. So I have no input on if those dishes are any good. Rice dish was nice but I don't know what it's actually called. Other than that the portions are huge for the price. read more
