    They have great food and have good prices! We love to go here for lunch! The egg rolls are delicious

    Sesame Garden, which used to be Lin Garden, is a great local spot for Chinese. It's very affordable and worth the money you pay. The lady that runs it is very good and speaks English well. She is quick and efficient. Great meal place for take out and dine in (even though there are only about 20, chairs in shop to eat at), as long as you have a car. It is across the street from KMart and doesn't deliver to campus sadly. However, if you can make it there, you won't be disappointed. Note- If you're a WIU or Spoon student you can get the college special for about $6, which is one of the best deals around!!

    The food is always great here. Only reason I gave a 4/5 is because they've forgotten some of our food lately.

    Good vegetarian options. They also take COVID safety protocol very seriously, and that is much appreciated.

    Affordable, Friendly, and you will leave full for a pretty cheap price. Easily a top restaurant in Macomb.

    Excellent food. They now have several tables (their other location had very few) but we prefer to carry out...you can't go wrong here.

    I really can't overstate how bad this sushi was. I am certainly hoping we make it through the next…read more24 hours without getting sick. There was definitely some "bad" fish (tasted old) in the rolls, which fell completely apart the moment you attempted to pick them up. Ambiance? The large bowl of rice sitting outside the bathroom was a bad look. The server was nice enough, but the best service in the world could not offset the poor quality of the food. I have had better sushi from the grocery store and from Sam's Club. The saddest part? I had been wanting to try "the best sushi in Springfield" for the last two years! For your reference- we had 4 rolls- spicy tuna, Alaska roll (salmon), French kiss (shrimp tempura, crab, salmon), and Caribbean orgazam (soft shell crab, salmon). There was not a good roll in the bunch. Seriously, this is not the place to go for sushi.

    Love this place! My daughter broke her arm and we were at the hospital all day. When we left we…read morewere all so hungry. It was 8 pm and my daughter found Happy Sushi on line and said let's try it. We were worried about getting there so close to close 8:30, but hoped for the best. They welcomed us in! It was very clean and organized. Not a lot of seating. We got several sushi rolls, noodles and some ramen. It was excellent. The owned stopped by the table to talk to my daughter with the busted arm and made her feel better. We will definitely be making stops here in the future. Thanks so much Happy sushi!!!!!

    My husband and I visited Crazy Buffet (aka Panda Buffet) in Galesburg, Illinois on a Sunday night,…read morearound 7 pm, in late Sept, 2024. The restaurant was scheduled to close at 9 pm; the rest of the neighborhood was already quite sleepy. All of the food that both my husband and I ate was quite tasty, including Asian buffet favorites such as Pepper Chicken; Mongolian beef; crab Rangoon; California sushi; and far more. They also offered some unique and tasty items, such as fried zucchini slices. They also had tubs of creamy and yummy ice cream for dessert. We rate the quality of the food that we ate as 4.5/5.0. However, by 7 pm, the restaurant was already winding down and many of the food trays were already near empty and weren't being replenished so there were many food offerings that we didn't get the chance to try. Our rating for variety is thus only 2/5. Service was okay (3/5). The waitress brought us our requested waters, and checked in once to see if everything was okay. The overall ambiance was of a typical Chinese buffet restaurant, and was maintained well. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. However, staff started to wind down the day at 8 pm, including mopping the floors of the main buffet area, the check-out counter, and restrooms while we were still eating and needing to walk in those areas! It was an hour to closing time! Finally, the restaurant was a good value for all-you-can-eat for $12.99/person at dinner, before tax and tip. We would return but probably earlier in the day to have full access to the variety of food choices and to ensure that we didn't interfere with the cleaning at closing.

    I've been to this buffet a few times over the years, I live over an hour away but my family and I…read moremake the travel once in a while. We decided to come by today after we traveled to Galesburg, but unfortunately a disability I have kicked in upon arrival and I got sick. I didn't eat a single bite of food at the restaurant, I got a soda while the rest of my family got full meals. Well, my dad called the waitress over near the end of everyone else eating to say that I hadn't eaten a single bite; the waitress replied very rudely telling us we were at fault for not telling them I wasn't going to eat before we checked in to the restaurant. Legitimately, I got to the table with my family, didn't sit down, and immediately went to the bathroom and got sick. When she told us we would get charged for my non-meal, my dad responded by saying we'd pay it and we didn't want to argue. She continued multiple times telling us to basically kick rocks. After around ten minutes of my family finishing their meals and deciding the food wasn't worth the treatment, another waitress comes by and takes my "meal" off the ticket, saying something along the lines of "We didn't want to, but management said to not charge you" I didn't have any food, but besides this experience with the staff my family members said the food wasn't nearly as good as it has been years prior. My dad and my partner are usually ones to get multiple plates, but they both only got one and didn't even finish what they got. My dad said there's no way he'd drive as long as we did to have this again, when in the past we would make the trip SPECIFICALLY for this buffet. Nothing else, just for this place. This was a really disappointing experience, and it very much gave "money hungry" vibes. I'd get charging me if I'd eaten ANYTHING. I didn't have a single bite. I hope this was a one-off experience and the staff doesn't act this way with other, worse off customers.
