We'd recently heard that the Spring Garden (Framingham,
eastbound side, across from the Tara) had gotten better.
We had brunch there yesterday.  The reviews were right: it
had gotten much better.

The brunch was a nice mixture of "Dim Sum" type items (steamed
pork buns, fried dough, ravs, scallion pie) along with some
of the more traditional lunch items (General Gao's chicken,
Twice Cooked Pork, noodles of various sorts).  The food ranged
from good to very good.  The General Gao's was tasty (though
not **quite** up to Uncle Cheung's), the scallion pie was
wonderful, the pork buns (both varieties) were good.  The ravs
were pretty standard, though good by buffet standards.  The 
Double Cooked Pork was very good.

Worth a try if you are in the area.  I hope to try it again
in a few weeks to make sure this wasn't a one time fluke.

   I second that mention that Spring Garden is a good, not terrific Buffet
Brunch for Sundays.  My wife and I have gone several times.  My only gripe
is the severe salt/MSG headache I get afterwards.  At six bucks it's a
great deal.
