China Garden

Had Chinese food here for the first time today because we wanted to try something other than Panda Express. I saw the Dinner Combo plates menu here and the decent price so we decided to try it out! The service was friendly and the ambiance was dull and environment is dated. Let's talk about the food! We ordered the Daily Special which is now $16.50(?)-ish as of 5/2024. It came with orange chicken, broccoli beef, pork fried rice, pork chow mein, fried shrimp, fried chicken wings, and fried wontons. A LOT of food , RIGHT?! We were super eager to get our food! The parking lot was empty when we got there and there were no customers at the time. We purchased our order and drove home.Upon opening our box, everything looked like your ordinary Chinese food. All the fried stuff was extremely fried. They did not look appetizing at all. Super dry. The wontons were plain and flat. I thought we were going to get the wontons with stuffing inside, but no. Fried shrimp ? Shrimp was pretty non-existent. The fried chicken wings..we didn't even try it because it looked like mystery meat to us (bleh). We enjoyed the orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and chow mein. The pork fried rice was eh. Nothing special about it. The rice was a little dry and lifeless too. I don't think it needed the pork. Too much meat in one meal. Overall, we gave this place a solid 3. All the fried extras weren't edible. We felt like it was just leftovers they're trying to get rid of. Would choose Panda Express over this place any day.

Ordered chow mein today and it was awful. It was brown. Yuk ! It tasted blah and noodles were so soft they were like mush. No flavor at all to the meal. They used to be really good here but not anymore. Don't waste your money on this slop.

We love this place, hands down one of the best Chinese food restaurants in town. Currently, the place is only open for takeout but it's worth your patronage during this difficult time for local businesses. We have always enjoyed their fresh ingredients, quick service, quality of food, and always willing to make sure we are happy with our order. The place is a relatively hole in the wall compared to other restaurants on Mooney, but once you find it; you'll come back again and again. Thank you for always providing our family with excellent food options!

Had lunch here yesterday, and I hate to say this, but it was the worst Chinese food I'd ever had. Everything came cold. Soup came first and was lukewarm. Then our fried wontons came with sweet n sour (seriously how difficult is this to make?) I was obviously leftovers from the day prior. It tasted stale, and that rancid oil flavor deep within the wonton. Then I ordered the lunch special which was curry beef with chow mein and bacon fried rice. The chow mein and bacon fried rice was cold. The curry beef was the only thing on the plate. I really hate leaving a bad review , just tell you that I for one will never be back and I'd hate for anyone else to have to endure the lunch my dad and I did. Oh, and two lunch specials with potstickers was 55 bucks. So there's that too. It wasn't cheap for that cold food.

It may not look like the best place from the outside, but the food and service is good. The interesting thing about this Chinese restaurant is that they serve outstanding pho! That's our go to whenever we visit. The orange chicken was good too!

Have eaten there and ordered from there for years. Never gotten anything substandard. Everything is way above board always clean, friendly, and delicious. Recommend to everybody that loves really great Asian food.

I've been eating here for over 20 years and I always call my food in order for pick up usually it's under my name and my husband will go pick it up. I guess they have a new policy that they did not make their customer aware that you now have to have an ID and matching card to pick up the food and that's unfortunate because my food is done and we've waited 30 minutes and we cannot get our order. I feel like they should be held accountable for not explaining the policy. The food is great. It just sucks that their communication is going down.

DO NOT GO HERE. if I COULD DO ZERO STAR I WOULD. they put metal piece in my food. Do not I repeat do not go back. Very Unsanitary.

Food is always the same, delicious!! Orange chicken lunch combo is mine and my family's go to!! It's a legit mom and pop spot, just a family serving delicious food to our community. 10/10 recommend!!

Ordered beef pho for takeout, it looked like they dipped all the meat into boiling water before putting it in the takeout box because it was all over cooked, slimy, watery, and left the noodles mushy and falling apart. Not sure why they did this as I've never had any other place do anything like that with takeout but it left the food inedible other than the broth and bean sprouts.
