“I have to admit that it was the best Pork Fried Rice I have ever had in my life. You cannot find any good Fried Rice anywhere within 60 miles of me so if you're looking for some good food then this is the place to get it.

“We have been regularly visiting relatives in Columbia. I believe we have tried every Chinese buffet in the area. Magnolia Buffet is decidedly better! We noticed that there weren't as much variety as other buffets, but the quality of the food was good. in particular, we though the sushi was good. Although, a little pricier than other buffets ... it was definitely worth going.“

“Nice spot! Food hot and fresh and they give large portions! My husband had fish and shrimp fried rice and he was pleased with the flavor. I had chicken and broccoli and it was very good. The establishment is nice and clean. Will visit again.“

“Pros: Closet thing to NJ Chinese Food. I’ve lived in SC since 2018 and at point I just didn’t eat Chinese food because everywhere was so nasty but this place gives me a touch of home. They do have the best Cheese Wontons /Crab Ragoon. Honey wings are great, fried rice is always a hit . Wings taste really good. The front desk guy is really nice and remembers his customers. I remember one time it was raining and I was in my car and he came out and bring it to me without me evenings asking (which I wouldn’t have lol but i didn’t know it was ready). This place can get busy but my food is ALWAYS ready and I typically order for 5 people.

Cons: Price is a bit high in my opinion. Be careful when you try to buy certain things without rice because they charge you as if you got rice. Not all Prices reflect on their actual menu, I had to call this out at one point. I typically don’t see any of them wear gloves, which does bother me a bit.“

“I ordered over the phone. Took about 10 min for them to prepare my food (I wasn’t far) walked in the restaurant was clean. I ordered orange chicken and fried rice. When I got my food it was very fresh. The chicken was hot and steaming so was the rice. It also had a very good taste. Very impressed. I’ve been to a lot of Chinese food spots and they always miss on quality and flavor. This deserves 5 stars. Everything was fresh and hot.“

“I enjoy and come to this place often. However, I order my food it usually comes out great. They are kind and well-mannered people here. I am from New Jersey, so I look forward to eating here as the food reminds of Chinese food from back home. The woman that works the register is always kind. She knows my number and greets me kindly any time I call. The young man that helps in the front is kind as well. The kitchen seems well put together and is in order. The dining area is always clean when I walk in. I'm always in and out my food takes 15 always on time. Even when they had forgotten my shrimp fired rice one night. They were kind enough to document it in their system and told me to return during the week and I ended up going there for my lunch break and it was hot and ready for me. I have witnessed and seen customers being rude to the woman in the front. I will say this treat people kindly. They are willing to fix mistakes as we are human we all make them no one is perfect. I have cherished these people and respect their business and hope they continue to stay open as not many restaurants in Columbia South Carolina keep consistency with their food. I would say check them out and get your whole wings fried hard.“

“The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing, the reception was warm, and the waiting time was short. The food was excellent overall, though it could have used a bit more salt. However, the flavors of the rice were rich enough that I hardly noticed the lack of salt. The wings were juicy and well-spiced. Overall, it was a great choice for lunch.“

“This is the best place in the area if your looking to fill your Chinese food fix like have to its better than my all time favorite Hong Kong in hartsville sc but , now I have 2 great places this place has great staff and great food at a great price Will make it back on regular p.s the honey chicken is outstanding“

The.customer service is alway good and it's a very clean restaurant. I definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for good asain cuisine.“

“This was a small family type place, where the little child sat calmly, & even quietly, watching TV. Everyone was polite. Food was very fresh & tasty. Pork fried rice was really good. Bourbon chicken was a very large portion with multiple types of veggies & plenty of sauce. Chicken was tender & not tough at all. Price was very reasonable, especially for the area of location. I enjoyed it. I recommend supporting this family by supporting their business. All around very enjoyable!“
