Our entire family visits this restaurant every time we come to the beach. Have yet to be disappointed. The food is a good deal for the money and our kids always ask to go there at least once during our stay. The Mongolian grill is delicious! If you are looking for a good deal with american food, grill, chinese food, and lots of seafood variety at a decent price this place is for you!

Restaurants food was great. Can't beat the price of crab legs on the buffet. A great variety of food and dessert. This is the perfect buffet. I recommend it to anyone on a vacation budget.

This place is great! We go here at least two times before we leave. The food is great, especially the prime rib, crab legs, and I absolutley love the mongolian grill! The waitresses and chefs are very polite and friendly! They have food for everyone.... great variety! It is very clean and you are seated immediatley as you come in the door. And great price for a restaurant as good as this one!

My son and I visit MB just about every 6 months. Coming from Boston, where Chinese cuisine is plentiful, we LOVE this restaurant! There is nothing like it back home. It is nice and quiet, the food is delicious, and there is a wide variety. The value is great, too! We just ate there 2 days ago, and will go back again before we leave Tuesday night!

First I would like to say I do not like buffets. We were invited to go with friends and I was hesitant from the beginning. The evening we were there it was not crowded maybe because it was off season or after one trip there that was enough for people. I was not at all impressed with the place nor the food. After tasting the greasy fried rice I decided I could not eat anything else. Our entire party felt the same way. There are to many nice restaurant in Myrtle Beach to eat at this one.

The food you get here is great for the price you pay!! Shrimp, oysters, crawfish, fish, and then all the prime rib & steak you want and if you want crab legs they have that too! There was plenty of chinese dishes to pick from and all pots were kept full. We have traveled alot in USA and also Europe and Canada. A good place and good price!

Tried the dinner buffet w/o crab legs for 11.95, which was not bad, but not a wide selection at all. Me and my wife looked at each other after looking over the buffet after we were seated, and said where is the chinese food?! VERY FEW CHINESE SELECTIONS! Was very disappointed. Mostly American food and seafood. On a good note the Prime rib and t-bone steaks were good. But the few Chinese selections they had were not that good. If you're looking for Chinese for dinner, please go somewhere else.

With seeing some of the reviews, my wife and I were about to not go to this restaurant. My wife is Filipino so we have been to Chinese restaurants all over the US,when we arrived there we were seated as soon as we went in. We were surprised at the food at the bar. We were expecting to be disappointed but there was a great selection of fish,seafood, chinese food all prepared very nicely. The service was great and atmosphere was quite for us. All iin all ,it was a great place to eat and for us both it was $29.00 without crab legs minus the $2.00 dollars off coupon we found in a book here so we pain only $25.00 comparable to what we pay at Ryans or Golden Coral and a lot cheaper than the seafood buffets here. I Recommend eating here.

We had enjoyed eating here at least once on each of our trips to Myrtle Beach. The Mongolian IS excellent. However, we will not be returning. Our last trip, at least 4 dishes were not replaced since it was within an hour of closing time. Since that is when we arrived, we had none of those dishes. Then, 15 minutes before closing, an older "lady" who I assume to be a manager asked us if we wanted anything else from the bar. My wife said she just wanted to get dessert. The woman said, no kidding, "You go get dessert, we trying to close now" while making a sweeping pointing motion toward the dessert bar. There's too many dining choices in Myrtle Beach that DON"T have rude staff for us to continue eating there.

Very good mongolian bar. Delicious crab legs for only 7 bucks more! Tons of food, impossible to try it all! We will go back and tell others about it. Lots more seafood than Chinese food. Even had spiced shrimp and cold peel and eat shrimp on the buffet. Big dessert selection. We thought it was priced better than all the others and definately as good or better than all the others we had tried. Tip...go hungry!

This restaurant was pretty good. The chinese buffet wasn't anything special, it was like any other chinese buffet. They didn't have a lot of selection. If it wasn't for the mongolian grill I would not have rated it so high. The mongolian grill was excellent. My husband loves alot meat with his dinners, and with this you could get however much you wanted. The guy that ran the grill was very nice. I would recommend going there just for that.

It is the BEST place to eat Chinese food in Myrtle Beach. We eat there everytime we are in SC & we will be eating there again in April on our vacation. There is so much to choose from especially when you have children that are very picky about what they will eat. There is something for everyone.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We arrived late in North Myrtle Beach and saw this restaurant when we were looking for something close. Didn't expect much, but was surprised that the food was really good. I'm not normally a buffet person but it was a good value with lots of Chinese specialties and very good seafood selections.

If you're looking for a nice value for your family and you like Chinese and seafood selections, I'd recommend it. Decor is just average, food above average for a buffet.

We have previously eaten at Ocean Garden and decided to go again in June 06. We used the early bird coupon found in most books and had a party of 6 2 of which were children buffets and our bill was only 60$. Crab legs with the buffet was only 10.95. The food here is great and the mongolion grill is one of the best items I have had at a chinese restaurant. I would recomend this to anyone. Great food, low prices and the staff were always around to bring you anything you wanted.

A must visit every time in myrtle beach! Our entire family loves the crab, prime rib and stir fry!

Tony's the best at the grill! Just watch him slide your fresh snow peas, bean sprouts, zuchini, onions, mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, beef onto your plate hot off the grill! Price is unbeatable. Buffet items are fresh and tasty!

This is not your typical Chinese Buffet! They have traditional Chinese fare - Beef and Chicken with broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, lo mein, etc. They also boost a mongolian grill where you choose what you want them to cook up for you. There is also the prime rib carving station, salad bar, seafood in a puff pastry (wonderful!), all you can eat crab legs,and a dessert bar that kids young and old will enjoy!

We love seafood and Ocean Garden provided the best crab legs and oyster in the entire Myrtle Beach area with an excellent price. If someone in your party does not like crab legs, there is $5 off. You are still able to taste the shrimp, oyster and other seafood. Ocean Garden Buffet also offers prime rib and stir fry in the one buffet price ($10.99 without the crab legs). I don't know where else you can find such bargain.

This is one of my favorite places. You can order the buffet or off the menu. There are always coupons to be found. The selection is awesome. You can also try the Mongolian Buffet where you make up your own meal and have the chef prepare it right in front of you. For an extra couple of dolalrs you can have Crab legs. Besides the usual oriental dishes, they have a cold salad bar (with shrimp cocktail) and a dessert bar. I've been going there for years and have never been disappointed.
