Chen Garden Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    My most recent trip to Chen Garden was as reasonably enjoyable as before. Clearly, my advice was taken by no small number of people as evidenced by a lengthy line for the hibachi grill. To their credit, the Chinese buffet side of the restaurant has improved slightly. The lack of vegetables is disappointing, but frog legs and unique specialty fried rolls make up for that to an extent. The frog legs were not the best I have had, but they were still fairly tasty. While the Chinese buffet side has improved, there are still two glaring weaknesses which can sour someone's experience at the restaurant. First is the "sushi" offering. I know Chinese buffets offer a handful of sushi rolls in order to take advantage of the positive reputation of sushi. I also know that every attempt is reliably miserable and inferior to grocery store sushi. I keep thinking that eventually, one buffet or another will manage to accidentally fail to be terrible at sushi. No such luck here, the sushi plate at Chen Garden is really a waste of their money that would be better served by a pan of green beans fried in soy sauce or a mix of stir-fried Chinese vegetables. The second weakness is one that stings me personally. I find myself wounded every time I have mediocre hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup here is loaded with mushrooms and tofu, but it is neither tangy nor spicy. It's not a terrible soup, but it is not a hot and sour soup by any means. The egg drop soup is decent if not particularly great. Honestly, both soups are just good enough that I'll have some if I am already at the restaurant, but neither are good enough to be something I would actively pursue. Here's a quick recap for everyone. Hibachi lines are long, buffet is a little better, still needs more vegetables, sushi offering is dismal, soup really could be better, and it's still a three star rating. The prices are a bit higher than before, enough that it's a touch expensive for a Chinese buffet but still a great deal for hibachi grill. Don't let my three stars scare you away. If your expectations are modest, you'll walk away satisfied. Just don't look here for the elusive hot and sour soup that can satisfy my cravings.

    I don't like buffets but the hibachi part was awesome! Don't waste your time on the fillers! The sushi (aka variations of CA rolls were pretty good) along with won ton soup. Lunch was SO cheap! Glad to know can get hibachi to go too! Very clean. Decent Chinese food for Enid :-) will go back.

    No! I do not know why this has decent reviews. Everything is sitting out for long periods of time, including the raw meet for the grill. The sauce is waaaay salty and everything else is mushy and I'm not a picky person. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    Nice looking place with plenty of seating and a large buffet. The sushi is typical Chinese buffet - doesn't amount to much. The hibachi doesn't have many ingredients to choose from. The rest of the buffet is standard Chinese buffet food. Good flavor but the same old thing. They do have a dish called cream shrimp that is unusual and very tasty. They have a nice fruit bar. The place is reasonably clean and there are a lot of staff so you can get refills, etc. Very average.

    This in my opinion is the best place to get a chinese buffet in Enid. The hibachi grill... AMAZING! no its not the ones that are at the tables but you still pick what you want and they grill it up right there and its GOOD! I usually just eat off the hibachi line and not much off the actual buffet section, but there are tons of options, so you can find things for the little ones to eat too. I like to get lunch there because its cheaper and the hibachi line is usually shorter. I've been to several chinese buffets with hibachi grills in OKC area and I think this one is nicer than all but one of them that I've been to. The place is always nice and clean and the service in normally really good!

    My story of love, loss, and heartbreak with Chen Garden "hibachi/sushi" restaurant begins about three weeks before it was opened. I saw the neon sign go up and immediately called my mother. Me: "MOM! There is a new restaurant in Enid!! A HIBACHI PLACE!!! Maybe this will finally make the move from Dallas worthwhile..." Mom: "Oh that's nice honey, just wonderful... I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but you do this to yourself every time you think there is a hip place to go in Enid... I just don't want to see you get hurt again." Me: "How could I be hurt again?!? Hibachi is one of my favorite eating pastimes... the large grill surrounded by front row seating, the flying knives, the singed eyebrows, the flaming volcano onion... it will be my little smalltown Benihana!!!" A few weeks later, I was in the mall despairingly sorting through the same sequined rompers I saw two months ago.... and I saw that they were almost open! I peered through the dark glass and saw tables, a fountain, a bridge!!! The hibachi tables must be in the back, I told myself. Opening day arrives! I round up my compadres, give some thought to making reservations, but then just decide to wing it and show up ready for a great night of food and entertainment... What the.... sneeze guards? Where are the hibachi tables? Where are the entertaining chefs? I could not believe this... Chen Garden is a glorified buffet with a neon sign of LIES! LIES!!!! For a buffet, and it IS a buffet, it is the best one in Enid. Avoid the sushi and take at least one trip through the hibachi buffet line, because the ingredients are fresh and correctly prepared by less than entertaining chefs. As for me... Chen Garden had stolen my heart and handed it back to me on a bed of rice at the end of their "hibachi buffet line". I vow never to return to the scene of my despair again.

    I wouldn't call this hibachi, but a basic American Chinese buffet with a Mongolian bar. The food tastes pretty "buffet standard" although it definitely lacks vegetables. The decor leaves little to be desired. I have enjoyed the fresh fruit section though. I wouldn't suggest going here, but if other people wanted, I'd probably tag along.

    This by far the best saint type buffet in enid. Especially with thier large sushi bar. Also u get to pick your own fresh ingredients they fix it up right in front if you. Great place. Not a bad process either. MILITARY DISCOUNT :)

    Great New Chinese Buffet in Oakwood Mall. Everything we tried was really good and it was very clean. Not only does it have more buffet items than the other Chinese Buffet places across the street but it also has a Hibachi Grill and Sushi bar right in the buffet. You can just pick the items you want cooked on the Hibachi Grill and stand and watch them cook it. There is some wait time for it, but it was also their Grand Opening and it was very busy. There is more seating than any other restaurant I have been in here in Enid. Lunch Buffet (Mon-Sat) is $6.69 Dinner Buffet (Mon-Thurs) is $8.99 Dinner Seafood Buffet (Fri-Sat) is $10.69 All day Sunday $8.99

    One of the better Chinese buffets I've seen. They keep the trays on the buffet reasonably full and hot. Really, what's there to say about a Chinese buffet, it's really good or frighteningly bad. Chen Garden is good.

    We have been traveling through Enid for years, usually arriving around lunch time. This place is the best we have found. We reviewed all of their offerings, starting with a small "sample" plate and honing in on our favorites. There are plenty of choices. Though it might not appeal to the oriental food purist, for Enid, it is something to look forward to when you're on the road. Even the purist can find fresh combinations to suit the more difficult palates.

    Forget the "hibachi" grill. Forget the "sushi", while you're at it. In fact, call the whole eating-out experience off, call 'em up and order same takeout. When they are forced to cook it for you to-order, they can make some seriously delicious food. We had crab rangoon, orange chicken, general tso's chicken, and egg rolls. Amazing! Crabby! Orange-y! Chickeny! Yes, actually good Chinese food can be had in this overgrown military base of a town! We have eaten in-restaurant once, and the food was mediocre and half-cold. The hibachi grill looked like hepatitis waiting to happen (from the customers who looked like that would be the least of what they were carrying around, not the so-called chefs) and I don't do sushi unless it is made at a sushi restaurant. It looked...warm. Ick.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
