Tang Garden

I've had quite an enjoyable experience at this restaurant, having tried many of their dishes, most of which are both authentic and delicious. While there's room for improvement in certain dishes like the Chicken Giblet with Pickled Chili (not the flavor I expected at all), there are clear standouts. I highly recommend the Grilled Fish without the side dish; although I'm surprised by the high cost of the side dish. The Hunan-style dishes are a personal favorite, and I'm confident the owner hails from that region given the authentic flavors. Special shoutouts go to the Mashed Eggplant & Preserved Duck Egg and Cured Pork & Bamboo Shoot are delicious, but a bit salty. The Bone-in Chicken with Hot Chili is my favorite!

Tried Hunan Stir-fried pork belly in multiple places and this restaurant is ranked as top 1 in my mind. The dish is pretty spicy so if you are not good with spicy food, better to leave a less spicy note. I look forward to trying other dishes next time.

Disappointing experience. Shrimp chow mein received with hardly any shrimp in it. They are using little tiny canned shrimp. You really can not charge $15 for that. A real let down.

How had I not dined at Tang Garden before? This is the best Chinese restaurant I've found in the Valley so far. The owners are from Hunan Province (YASS!) and the dishes reflect the spicy nature of the region. From the Chongqing Spicy Chicken (重庆辣子鸡) to the spicy green beans (干煸四季豆）everything was heavenly. For starters, the steamed pork dumplings (always order steamed when you have the choice over fried) and the scallion pancakes were also legit. There is so much more on the menu that I have yet to try which means that I will be back! All of the other diners in the restaurant were Chinese, which says something about the authenticity of the menu (hey, I lived in China for a long time, too!). The owners were friendly and there is great energy in the restaurant. Don't be shy to ask for recommendations. They do sell bottled beers, including Tsingtao from China and Sapporo from Japan (didn't spy any baijiu though). In addition to the outstanding food, they have several KTV rooms. The rooms are available for rent by the hour. And yes, you can order their food while you sing your heart out. The song selections are available in both English and Chinese. What a great idea for a company teambuilding event or a celebration like a birthday. All in all, Tang Garden is the real deal. Outstanding service, wonderful dishes, fair prices, and a relaxed environment that does get busy at dinnertime despite all the takeaway orders. I'm in love!

Tempe has been in flux for a lot longer than the pandemic. Rising rents, changing migration patterns, and frenetic bursts of development have fundamentally transformed it from an ASU student dive to a dining hotspot brimming with swagger. Sure, you can still hit Mill Ave and get some cheap eats, but now the area is packed with places offering some of the Valley's finest menus. Far from the tourist circuit of Old Town Scottsdale, Tempe's restaurants reflect the full spectrum of Arizona's diverse and contemporary Chinese community. That means menus catering to regional cuisines from across the mainland and throughout the greater Chinese diaspora, and new shops with a close eye on food trends half a world away. I only learned of Tang Garden when I passed by. I popped in, asked for a menu, had a brief chat with the LǎoBǎnNiáng and decided that I would return to try it. Boy, am I glad that I did! At Tang Garden you will discover authentic Chinese dishes bursting with flavor. If you're concept of "Chinese food" is Panda Express, please come to Tang Garden and experience the real deal. The Chongqing Spicy Chicken is a must if can handle the (dry) heat. The Garlic Broccoli not only tastes great but feels healthy. The steamed pork dumplings are also as good as we eat them in Beijing. Tang Garden has a large selection of Chinese and Japanese beers, including TsingTao (not having had Chinese beer in a while, it went straight to my head!). A large number of KTV rooms are available for rent and food can be served in the rooms, which makes it a great place for a celebration like a birthday. The owners are friendly and easygoing. Bottom line: one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Valley!

Recommended: yes! I recommend the fish trays. I recommend getting the flounder filets. Price: great priceFood: delicious. If you love spicy food, this is also a plus. If you have never had something like this, you should definitely jump out of your comfort zone and try this. They have non-spicy fish tray as well, but the spicy ones has great flavor. It's one of kind here in Arizona. I don't think they have this anywhere else. Details:I usually go in about a total of 4 people and share the fish tray because it is a big portion. Then we'll add toppings like the potato noodles, a choice of meat (we usually get beef or lamb), we also add on soft tofu and mushrooms. We also pick a choice of vegetables too. It's all up to you. You pick what you like to add on. Even though it is additional price for add-ons, but if your feeding a group of 4, you get to add on variety of toppings/ingredients to share. The totally for everything usually is still a decent price with a full belly. Splitting into four people is about $20-$25 a person. Our bill was around $80 for everything. Definitely recommend this place. Support the local. I remember this place had a bigger front of the house area but probably due to Covid they had to size down into one section/building. I would love to see this business grow especially its one of a kind here in Arizona.

The food was really good and the staff was friendly. They also have karaoke rooms you can rent out which I want to try next time.

Got this to go and didn't like a lot of the items I got . The meats tasted like they've been recooked multiple times and that makes the texture of the chicken and intestine like jerky. The pigs feet was the one I liked since it was tender and flavorful. the green beans was usual but not bad.

The ambiance is low the flavor is very bland today and service wasn't so attentive not sure if I would recommend this place they were good last year but the flavor has been lost

If you're looking for authentic sichuan food, come here! We got the fish boil in Tang's house sauce. Very spicy and flavorful. Can't wait to come back to try their other stuff.
