If you happen to be around the University of Minnesota campus looking for a huge Chinese buffet spread, then U Garden is your Shangri la. It may be the largest restaurant of its kind in the area for an elaborate lunch and dinner buffet. For one the sheer size of the exterior could be a dead giveaway to the variety on offer inside.

Hallmark appetizers of egg roll, BBQ pork, chicken wings and cream cheese crabmeat wontons help you warm up before trying fiery beef with hot garlic sauce and spicy chicken with pineapple and lemon grass. Fried walleye with tofu meat sauce and fresh lobster with black bean sauce make their appearance in season, while everyday lunchtime platters could include pepper steak, pork with green beans or shrimp with cashew nuts. U Garden devotes an entire section to house specialties like sesame shrimp or beef, squid with Chinese broccoli and orange chicken, a delicacy from Hunan province in China.
