King Garden

It really depends on what you order.Beef and Broccoli? Great.Beef with String Beans (special)? Great.Shrimp and Snow peas? Gelatinous goo.Shrimp toast? Burnt.I am going back to beef & broc. Every time I try something else I regret it.Also - no ice, no water unless you BUY a bottle.I try, try, try to remember to bring my water with me. This is SUCH a take out place. A lady came here to dine in with 2 little kids and asked for a cup of tea and they served it to her in a tupperware soup container.Decent Chinese food, take out is the best way.NOT a fine dining experience, or even a mediocre one.

Standard low-end Chinese takeout. Food was acceptable but not great. Hot and spicy chicken was neither, but it was unexpectedly sweet. Lots of better places in the area.

I don't want to see a single negative review on this place. My family and I have been ordering delivery for 20+ years. No joke. Consistently prompt, hot, and accurate. A side note is that I've lived all over this country and this is some of the BEST Chinese food I've ever had!

I've lived in Delaware for 10 years and I must say, it is hard to find a good Chinese takeout joint. Either they have bugs, spoiled food, or are just dirty. I would drive to New Jersey to get Chinese food, but thanks to King Garden I don't have to anymore. The food is a bit pricey for takeout, but it's worth it. The vegetable fried rice is packed with veggies and the general tsos (family size) is a good portion. Best crab cheese wontons I've had from a takeout place. All the food was fresh and tasty. It's also very clean inside.

The food use to be good but a couple of times it was not like today. The food had no taste just bland. I won't be going back anymore.

Food is usually very good. Service and timeliness can be way slower than expected. Don't recommend anything fried, like egg rolls. They sell donuts now and anything fried tastes like donuts.

I just did a side by side comparison of the following items. I ordered the EXACT same items at Hong Kong and side by side will share pics and reviews. Here's the winning results:Eggrolls- Hong Kong- both had bits of meat, but HF had the better tasting, slightly saltier ones.Wontons- Hong Kong hands down- there was a lot more meat in theirs and King Garden was a little tougher to chew the wonton wrapper.Crab Rangoon- King Garden- the filling is slightly sweet, but they are the standard wonton wrapped and not the foldover/turnover style that are tougher to chew.White rice- King Garden- was cooked better and longer according to my teen.Pork fried rice- King Garden- had more veggies and smokier flavor.Sweet and sour sauce- King Garden- better flavor, less red dye and twice as large portion.Orange chicken- Hong Kong, flavor was better, but both had too much breading. King Garden- had more orange peel and broccoli.Shrimp lo main- Hong Kong was better tasting, but King Garden had larger shrimp and included mushrooms. Overall, both places had their strengths- Happy Fortune was 20% less expensive and included a free 2-liter. It was under $45 for HK and almost $55 for King Garden for food delivered plus I tipped $10 on top of that.

I ate at King Garden Chinese more than 25 years ago when I worked part time retail at I. Goldberg; the army/navy clothes/camping store that isn't there anymore more. It felt like a little hole-in-the-wall then, an undiscovered gem in Delaware's Diamond-five years or more, King Garden remains so.My only 'complaint,' if one would even call it that, is that I got a different entrée order than I requested. Of course that shouldn't happen to anyone, ever; it was a fluke the other I got was a favourite. I ate lunch here pretty regularly when I worked retail at the old I. Goldberg (I'm dating myself), now the Wells Fargo. It was quick, good food then and I'm pleased to say the same for it now.I was so hungry I ate an egg roll in the car. Because I was soo hungry, I ate my egg roll vertically, like a kid with a popsicle on the beach. The first bite became a bit bready as one may expect, but it was steaming hot and full of ingredients. I was able to put some duck sauce on the roll and my world was perfect for a moment or two.While I finished that egg roll, I noticed a steady stream of customers coming and going. I wouldn't say it was busy, but a customer in or out every 3-5 minutes is pretty steady and was a good sign for King Garden!While I ordered the combination plate Chicken with Cashews, I got (I think) Chicken with Garlic Sauce. Since that's my other go-to dish, I didn't call and make an issue of it, but that's my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. My entrée was delicious if a bit in expected, and to me, there is NO such thing as *enough* garlic. :-) I will definitely order from them again!** Note: I'm posting this during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of Fri, Mar. 20, 2020 when I called to order again, I was told they were closed until the end of April because of COVID-19. This was not mandated by the state gov't, but nevertheless.I ate at King Garden Chinese more than 25 years ago when I worked part time retail at I.

Covid is on the rise and none of the cooks wore mask...when expressing my concern, I was told "it's hot in the kitchen". Will not be ordering here again. Everyone has to wear a mask, esp if you're go to handle people's food. It's the law...

I've been coming to King Garden for the better part of 20 years. Usually I just come in and order take-out but recently I've stayed in to eat. The egg rolls are some of the best, but they don't always let all of the oil drain off before serving them so the drip oil and taste oily. Just about everything I have had has been good. The wonton soup is flavorful but sometimes the wonton dough is too thick. Beef and broccoli and chicken and broccoli are tasty but the broccoli is barely cooked and pretty much raw I always ask them to cook it a bit longer when I order. My favorite by far is the sweet and sour chicken but the sweet and sour shrimp is equally good. General Tso's chicken is really good with the heat sneaking up on you. I'm not really a fan of fried rice but I do like their's.I've tried too many dishes to name them all here but for the most part they've been good.One negative is that if you are eating in they don't have cups, ice or water and tea is out, you have to buy bottled water or soda and it's not cheap. I solved that problem by bringing my own. With any luck I'll be able to eat here for the next 20 years.
