China Garden

Our go to take out Chinese restaurant. Yes, there are closer take out spots to our house. Three of them, actually. And yet- we drive further because it is so much better! They also now know us by name/order. Well, they know John. I laugh when he orders without me and they question if everything is ok- bwahahahaa. My go to is shrimp with mixed veggies. John likes an assortment of dishes like house lo mein, cashew chicken, kung pow, sweet and sour chicken. Obviously he likes them a lot. You'd laugh- I like them over the others based on their egg rolls and soup. That's my bar- you pass, I'll eat at your Chinese restaurant for a very long time (you fail.... you won't see me again).

It was good to find a nice Chinese restaurant in the area that I didn't have to drive 20 miles to get to for a change. China Garden is next to a reduced Walmart store, which makes it a convenient stop when you're in the area. The restaurant is nice in appearance but there is not a lot of seating inside because it's rather small. It appears most orders are call-ins and takeout. I was takeout on my two visits but did call the order in first on my second visit. It's sort of a tale of two visits here. The shop has a large menu and can keep you looking for something special off it. During the first visit, we got the chicken-shrimp meal, along with curry chicken and onions. Both were very good and I looked forward to the next visit! Well, issues arose with the food from the second visit. The bourbon chicken seemed over-cooked and not fresh - too chewy. I guess more like leftovers from the day before. I also found a hair in my chicken with cashews meal. These are the reasons why what could have originally been a four-star rated restaurant for me came down to three star. On the good side of things, service is very good here - courteous and respectful. I enjoyed my visits. Just hope some of the food issues are reduced in the days ahead.Recommend: MED

Always a good choice. The wanton soup is delicious. We've tried many different foods from this takeout place and haven't had a bad meal. Definitely our favorite Chinese take-out in Jacksonville- like a little taste of the Chinatown we remember up north.

I'll start this review with the preface of I lived in china for 4 years and I am very picky about my "real" Chinese food and "American" Chinese food. We've been ordering from China garden for several years now and the food is always consistently good! We enjoy that they have your American Chinese standards like general tsaos as well as some more traditional Chinese dishes like sichuan chicken. We usually order delivery and are consistently impressed with how quick they are to get out their food. Our favorites tend to be the cream cheese wontons, steamed dumplings, combo general tsaos with chicken, current chicken, and the sichuan chicken. Their pork fried rice is excellent- lots of flavor! Their egg rolls are also very good.

The egg drop soup and Mongolian beef are both so good! I always come to this spot whenever I want Chinese food. It is always ready within 10-15 minutes and very well priced. I've gotten other chicken/beef/veggie dishes and they've all been good. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have been getting takeout from China Garden for quite a while now and in our opinion this is the best Chinese food out there. It is always fresh and delicious. I recently tried the seafood soup and was amazed at how delicious it was ! Also best ribs and fried chicken wings of any restaurant out there! So if you're looking for fresh , hot and delicious Chinese food this is the place to try . I also recommend pork fried rice , dumplings, crab Rangoon . You won't be disappointed.

This is straight up the best take out Chinese in Jax. I've ordered 3 times in the last few weeks and the food is on point. Best Chinese spare ribs in town. Hot and sour soup is legit. General Taos and Seasame chicken is awesome. Good egg rolls. Can't go wrong with this place

Fair warning if you order CHOW MEIN this is what you will get.... super disappointed. I have no idea what it even is and it's gooey

Bourbon chicken had no sauce; the chicken lookedLike dried out mushrooms and tasted terrible, I definitely will not order from here again .

Trash service. Walked in with a smile and said hello. Lady behind the counter said can I help you like we were bothering her. My child said hello, she shook her head and repeated can I help you with more attitude. I saw her through the door. She looked irritated as we entered. Like we were disturbing her empty restaurant. I told her no and we left. Very rude. I used to eat here. The food is too expensive and not good at all for the service to be trash. I only buy it because my son likes it. Now I don't have to anymore. I'm going to spread this throughout my mom group, book clubs, fitness groups, the PTA at both schools, and the HOA that this restaurant does not give good service and you should save your money. When I find another Asian fusion restaurant I will update this post so you don't waste your time.
