It was okay. The dishes were plated nicely but everything wasn't as it should be. The fried rice…read moredidn't have any egg or vegetables in it. The crab rangoon was overcooked and puffed out too much. It should have had more filling and I think it tasted like they should change their frying oil. The Moo Goo Gai Pan should have had more mushrooms in it and the chicken tasted kind of fishy. My boyfriend's mom liked her steamed dumplings and her garlic chicken too so at least she liked her stuff a lot. Since our bill was over $50 they gave us a free order of Chinese donuts and she gave us a packet of almond cookies to go as well. I will go again sometime and try something else. I hope they change their frying oil soon.

Let me state that I have been eating here since they opened, around 2013-2014 perhaps. Everything has stayed consistent, including the pricing, and that's been impressive. When you walk in, you have the option of ordering from the menu or doing the buffet and let me tell you- get the buffet. If you can cook at all, you will enjoy yourself here. You'll get your soft drink, then it's off you go to build your masterpiece. Five separate buffets with two side stations, there's a lot to process. There's two small stations, one for fried rice and one for ice cream. There's a cold bar in the back which features some salad items and desserts, and one buffet table full of ready to eat apps and foods with some soups offered. I did giggle that the one says "eggg dorp soup". It's what you'd expect at any Chinese buffet. Then we get to the good stuff- the hibachi stuff. You have three bars for hibachi: your noodles and veggies, your meats, and your sauce ingredients. You get a bowl and load it up with your choice of noodles and veggies, there are so many options. Tofu, egg, zucchini, baby corns, broccoli, water chestnuts, sprouts... I can't get enough color! Then you move over to the meat buffet, where you select your raw cuts and place the pieces in your bowl. I typically do the beef and shrimp, always good quality. You'll bring your bowl to the hibachi grill and set it on the counter so they can start cooking it. You'll go make your sauce at this point, which is where it could get overwhelming if you don't know flavors well. There are probably 20 sauces to mix and about 25 seasonings and the likes to add flavor, so there's a lot of room for creation with your sauce! You'll bring it up to the hibachi again when you're done, and they'll plate your order and bring it to you if needed. For $10.99 a person, what a stellar deal. So much fresh produce and variety from a family owned business, it's a staple in the Illinois Valley. Although I've moved to another state at this point, this is the one restaurant I haven't seen done this well and one I miss whole heartedly. I visited the IV from Florida recently and ensured I ate there several times because I just can't get enough of the great service and incredible food. If you haven't eaten here yet, you're missing out. Stop by today and build yourself the meal you deserve.

Looks about similar to many of these such restaurants and the food does too to be honest. The prices are pretty good for the big quantity. Coming in here the first time we were surprised it wasn't one of those Chinese restaurants with the big pictures of the food over the counter. It's actually a little nicer. The food still is pretty similar to many others. About what to expect on the menu. The typical Americanized type of stuff. It's about $11 for an entree. We got some of the tofu ones including the Bean Curd With Garlic Sauce. It had not much of a variety of vegetables but it had a spicy flavor. There's also plenty of options if wanting meaty things like beef, chicken, or seafood. Great thing is there's not much competition. It's closed Mondays. There's a few tofu options for vegetarians.

This was a random find for our return from Des Moines…read more They have tables for dine-in but everybody is urged to order at the kiosk. It is your standard Americanized Chinese food and most of the items on the menu are pretty typical except I don't recall seeing egg foo young. A lot of the entrees came with complimentary soup. The choices were wonton, hot and sour, and egg drop soup. We tried fried wonton, Mongolian beef, vegetarian lo mein, tofu in spicy garlic sauce, and sesame chicken combo with fried rice and egg roll. It was plenty of food for the six of us and we had leftovers. Proper Mongolian beef is hard to come by these days . It isn't supposed to be overly saucy and should just have enough sauce for a slight coating. The beef should be served with crispy white noodles and scallions. Oriental Garden's version is different and resembles the standard soy-sauce based sauteed beef with lots of mushrooms and onions. It was tasty but it wasn't Mongolian beef. And oddly enough, the fried wonton has meat when it usually doesn't. We weren't opposed to it though.
