China Garden

Cheap and Delicious, their lunch and dinner deals are affordable and plenty (I would know, I'm a college student). The cashier and I became good friends from how often I visited and ordered, there's plenty of options to choose; there are several cooks in the back making the food. The Dine-In area is ok but I recommend getting it to go while being in the comfort of your home eating a the delicious food while watching a show, you will be filled ! Service is fast and online/phone orders are just as easy. Go China Garden!!

We live in Bartow and drive to this place because it's the best Chinese restaurant in the area and believe me I have tried every Chinese restaurant in the Bartow south Lakeland area. The food is always delicious and when the older gentleman is cooking it's especially tasty. The inside is a typical Chinese restaurant they all look about the same to me except for the bigger dine in types. The service is typical nothing out of the ordinary used to have a really friendly girl there but I haven't seen her in a while. I love hunan beef and shrimp but everything I've had has been really great.

Wanted to continue my fiancées Christmas Eve. Tradition but the normal place we go to was closed. Seen the reviews on this location and it didn't look bad. Chicken came out tasting freezer burned and the boneless spare ribs tasted like they were covered in tomato sauce. I will not be returning.

Well, it was NOT great. It was just like any other tiny Chinese food restaurant ... same old faded pictures on the wall, same menu as anywhere else, mediocre food. I had the Gen. Tao's Chicken. Nice portion but not much flavor; certainly didn't taste particularly fresh. Totally forgetable. The lady at the counter was very nice, and service was fast. The seating area was small-diner style but without any service (e.g., if you buy food-to-go, you can sit inside and eat. I probably won't be back, but it wasn't too bad. Okay meal for a good price.

Love this place delicious food Egg RollGeneral Tao ChickenPolk County food is moderately priced

Food is usually good at China garden period and I'm sure it wouldn't have been had. We got what we ordered period period it was Sunday afternoon I ordered. Broccoli and I'm An egg roll period period I handed the cashier, a $50 bill. And waited for my order. I waited and I.Waited, I thought on a Sunday afternoon.They wouldn't be too but I was wrong period they didn't have the sauce for the Beef broccoli period I wasn't told that I wasn't told that I wasn't told that I wasn't told that I wasn't told that I waited. And suddenly somebody left from the store. And I was told that they were on their way to get the sauce. I can wait for the sauce period While I was waiting, I went home to tell my wife. The situation and she said just take whatever they have available. I'm sure it'll be fine period when I went back to the restafront. Not only was our order not ready. The order they handed me consisted of fresh, uncooked broccoli with rice. No explanation was given. My my change was inaccurate and I wasn't offered any alternatives from the menu. Period period I love the food They usually produce period what happened? Then I don't know but uncooked broccoli with rice wasn't what I expected. I wasn't offered any explanation. No apapology no substitution. They merely took my money, Handed me the uncooked broccoli. Me and went back to the kitchen. Is there beef broccoli? It is the best that I've had in this local area period and it hurts not to be able to get the food but paying $50 for raw broccoli and a small bin of rice to me. Is not only ridiculous and an insult. It shows their lack of caring about themselves and their job. I asked to speak with the manager who wasn't there that day. I've been back to speak with the manager twice. He's never in, or so I am told. I don't buy my Chinese there any longer. I have to drive farther but I refuse to endorse their practice of poor service and manners. Their till/cash register count had to be off. How many 50 dollar bills could they take in on a slow Sunday afternoon? They denied ever seeing my 50 dollar bill. Maybe it's somewhere with my favorite Chinese take out. It's a shame for such a small incident to blacken their name but the truth should be heard. It makes a difference. Just a few simple things they could have done.would've made me happy,offer me something different. Offer to return my money. They could have apologized for not having the Food available that's a part of almost every dish they make. They had been opened for a couple of hours. I would have thought they would know if they had the basics to operate . Simple things that make a restaurant a good restaurant. A place people will recommend to their friends instead of being a "farmers fresh vegatable stand. With dry rice for dessert.

We really enjoyed takeout from China Garden! It will definitely be our new go-to Chinese place in south Lakeland.

Very nice people food not up to my quality standards. I am from up north in Michigan. They have the best Chinese I've ever had next to China.

Always delicious food, served really fast--no complaints! A former Chinese student told me that it's the best in Lakeland.

Good flavor, efficient staff. I have ordered take out quite a few times and I have never been disappointed. The cooks and staff are friendly and helpful.
