On Tuesday, April 11th I visited this buffet with my husband and two daughters, ages nearly 7 and nearly 7 months. I, a very exhausted mother, was trying to eat and take a much needed break while my husband played point for a bit. We are native Pennsylvanians currently living 3,000 miles away in Europe, and so our travel had been draining. I think the array of dishes offered at this restaurant is impressive but given that the place was quite empty, I wonder how it is cost effective to have so much and I wonder a little how old the food might be. That being said, that is not the crux of my complaint. When our baby daughter needed a diaper change, my husband went up with the diapering equipment and asked where the restroom was. Our waitress and the manager were sitting at a nearby table going over some business papers (it looked) and talking. After my husband asked his question, they pointed in the direction of the restrooms, but then said, with a big smile, "The mens room does not have a changing table." My husband said to them, "You really need to have a changing table in both restrooms." They seemed to think this was highly amusing and looked at me judgmentally, who was trying to eat some of her meal without near constant interruption from our elder daughter. I got up, after what must have been the millionth interruption in my failure to actually eat the meal I was paying for looked at them and said, "You know, it is 2017. Both fathers and mothers care for children. You DO need to address that. It is sexist. " They smirked at me. Afterwards, I caught them giggling and whispering to some other waiters. A diaper changing station costs a whopping $100-150 dollars (an easy, low-cost investment for a business) and can be easily installed in both restrooms which are spacious enough. May I ask what my husband would have been expected to do if he was alone with our kids? Or if there were two fathers instead? This is why you equip both bathrooms! If you are a parent who is tired of this crap, tired of being a father forced to change children on the floor of the mens room and tired of being a mother who is unable to divide child care up equally because of these dinosaurs stuck in sexist ways, who then even insult their customers to top it all off, spend your money elsewhere. They wont get the picture otherwise. How a family divides up childcare is not their concern. We wont be back and we are sharing this experience far and wide.

Food poisoning alert.... 0 Star Rating! My husband thought he would be nice and treat the family to lunch. The food seemed to be dried out and not very fresh or hot but it didnt seem very busy so we thought it was probably getting close to time for them to change the food out. I saw no food exchanged out the whole time we were there. My husband, 13 year old son, and 11 year old son ate from the habachi grill after about 30 minutes my 13 year old son was complaining of extreme abdominal pain. He was stuck in the bathroom for hours. My 11 year old son was hit with the same symptoms about an hour after eating there and my husband was next about 3 hours. My husband got it the worst and Im going to assume its because he ate a lot more. By the way it was the chopped steak from the habachi grill that they all ate. I dont want to over do it and give out more than you want to read and visualize but vomiting, diarrhea, 3 people with uncontrollable mouths and bottoms and one bathroom. Imagine my life for 5 days having to care for these poor four loves of my life! I will never again eat there. Watch out they serve a lot of pink chicken as well. The pediatrician confirmed food poisoning for my boys and my husbands PCP confirmed food poisoning for him. Having to watch these boys close. Next stop may be hospitalization. UGH! Doctor gave them one more day before that step! Eat with caution please especially your children!

Garden Buffet was recommended to me by an acquaintance. My wife, two young sons, and I had a great meal here and were impressed with the cleanliness and attentive service. The restaurant is very clean, and the furniture/decor is in generally good condition. Staff was pleasant and helpful; drink refills and plate clearing were prompt. Food was great - a good mix of "mainstream" and more-authentic Asian foods--my favorites include: Dragon Rolls, Mixed Veggies, Potstickers, and Chicken w/ Broccoli. My kids enjoyed the Chicken Skewers, Pizza, and French Fries. Six flavors of ice cream, in a very clean and well-maintained self-serve case. Hot foods hot, cold foods cold, and great variety of condiments available and accessible. Plates, cups, and table and serving utensils clean. Mens room was clean but only in fair condition.

My wife and I were here twice in 1 week. The service is excellent the food is always hot and the servers are nice. What most buffetts lack is the taste of food and the temp of the food which is mostly cold..Here at the Garden Buffett you can get hot food, why because they have heaters that keep the food hot..There food is just so good & the crab legs are perfect...I will vote this as the best All you can eat Bufett in the Lehigh Valley.

Called at 9:00 to find out when they closed. Was told 9:30. Told the hostess I wanted to come in to get takeout. Got there at 9:12 and they had locked the doors and were clearing out the buffet. I called. Asked for the manager. Was called a f**cker and was told that if I didnt leave, I would be arrested. NEVER EVER GOING THERE AGAIN.

Food was disgusting. Everything was cold and dried out except the general tso chicken. I didnt even look at the sushi bar as buffet sushi is the worst thing you can put in your body. There was a bucket in the middle of the room collecting drippings from the AC vent.

Id like to add a photo, but I cant. My son got a pastry puff from the desert area and it had mold on it. Good thing I checked before he ate it. Ive been coming here since I was in high school and always loved the food but im pretty disgusted by this..

Will not return!!!! Food hasnt been flipped in hours, all the chicken dishes where incredibly mushy, sauces solidified, poor selection and I watched the worker reheat the fish fillets by dumping hot water over it. Ice cream was good though

Food was not the best, my in-laws said it is hit or miss. This was definitely a miss. The food was mush that was supposed to be crunchy. Some of it was cold, and everything I had was greasy.

Their chef is from southern China, which means GOOD FOOD. Ive eaten their twice. Both times food was very good. Not exactly a glamorous buffet, but GOOD.

Might be the worst food Ive ever eaten. Crab legs were like rubber bands. Nothing was fresh. Awful. The empty parking lot should have been a sign.
