Visited this amazing restaurant for a second time. Once again, food was outstanding. I had the buffet, husband a la carte. Buffet had perfectly cooked vegetables, every dish was delicious, fresh, tasty, and husband's soup and fish dishes both excellent, and his crab puffs or whatever you call them were very crisp and delicious. The service was extremely fast, and... More

This is a VERY casual restaurant. They serve both buffet style and regular sit down meals. We had a regular meal off the menu. But I did look at the buffet and found there were a lot of choices. The food looked fresh and it appeared that most people were eating from the buffet. The price for adults was 10.75... More

We actually read the reviews beforehand and decided to give it a try...will not go back. The food was overcooked, stale, didn't feel like the restaurant was clean either.

Skipped the buffet which better than average, but still was meat and seafood oriented with the usual suspects...broccoli beef, chicken wings, etc. Ordered veggie deluxe and moo shu pork off the menu, both were very good and good portions. I'd go again in a second, much better than all the $ Chinese restaurants in my home area.

This restaurant served decent food and although there was a buffet there was a large menu available. I couldn't help but note that we were the only non-Asian family there, which normally suggests a more authentic restaurant, yet there were only forks, not chopsticks, on the table (they provided them immediately when I asked). Service is fine, and the food... More

The place needs more servers since they get busy during the weekends. Kind of disappointed with the menu and the service was slow. I like the food but not the service

We came for the asian food buffet, and I honestly expected it to be bad. I mean, come on, it's a buffet, right? But then, after laughing about the name (Human Garden!! harharhar.) I saw that the food, setting aside some slightly dry sushi, was actually pretty good. Not a lot of vegetarian options, but I eat shellfish so it... More

If your in south shore and you simply must have chineese this is the place to go. South Lake Tahoe is not exactly a culanary oasis and despite the number of chineese resturants most fall really short of even an average chineese take out in any major city. However I have been consistently pleasently supprized by this place, the decor... More

We visited this restaurant based upon a Tripadvisor post. The food is great -- no complaints about quality or service -- just don't expect high-end ambiance from this restaurant. We ordered ala-carte and were pleased with the service. Generous portions, so you can likely get by with less than one entree per person (ie, family of four -- get three... More
