China Garden

Two of my buddies and I heard about China Garden and we decided that would be our lunch spot for today. We arrived at about 11:45 and we were the only people in the restaurant. Our server was extremely friendly and quickly brought us drinks. Since this was our first time it took us a while to look over the menu which was quite extensive. The entire back page of the menu was filled with lunch specials which are priced very reasonably at $7.99. We all ordered from the lunch menu. I ordered Chicken lo Mein anda cup of Hot & Sour soup. The other people in my party ordered Sesame Chicken and General Tso's Chicken. All three of us were extremely pleased with the service and the quality of the food. My hot and sour soup was extremely delicious. It was chock full of sliced mushrooms and several pieces of tofu and it was almost a meal in itself and was served very hot. My Chicken lo Mein was equally delicious. The others in my party praised their meals as well and all three of us felt that we had finally found an excellent Chinese restaurant. I look forward to my next visit.

This restaurant is quaint. We stayed approximately 1 1/2 hours, taking our time enjoying each other. The staff was sweet and compassionate. The food was good but I didn't explore. My hubby assumed the Mongolia Beef would be spicier. He requested they add some chili spice... he was pleased with the result.I enjoyed the veggie stir fried rice. During the conversation I found out that they have vegetable tempura type tofu. So next time, I will give it a try.

Ok, I hate writing negative reviews but the food was horrible. The fried rice was yellow with orange eggs in it. Whoever has given them 5 stars has never eaten real Asian food.

We have been meaning to update our review. We went there in June 2023 and the owners changed. Really sad because I always stopped by for the dry fry pot. I knew something was wrong when I took my first bite. The dish was tasteless, the ingredients were all over the place. I thought they changed the recipe but if so even the taste profile was bland. I thought maybe they were cutting costs by not using actual cumin seeds and not using Chinese celery. Then I had confirmed the shop was sold. I imagine the new owners want to do it their way which is good. I just can't stand by my original review anymore. May give it a try next time I'm in town and update my review once more. I'd love to get the original owners recipe for the dry fry pork ribs. I've been trying to reverse engineer it for years. Like 90% there. Please reach out if you have their contacts. Will compensate if the correct number.

A sign out front said lunch specials $6.99 but the menu said $7.99. They must have recently raised their prices. We were greeted by a very friendly proprietor. Dan ordered Mongolian beef and I got Kung Pau chicken. I had trouble deciding because the sweet and spicy eggplant. I love eggplant but don't often find it on menus. On the other hand, it's difficult to pass up the peanuts in the Kung Pau. Oh decisions. The egg roll was the best part of both dishes. It was extremely crisp and light. It's much better than egg rolls from other restaurants. My husband complained that his dish was too oily. I had him taste mine and he said it was too oily for his tastes, too. I'm more tolerant of oil than Dan is, but I'd say it was a bit more oily than Kung Pau I've had at other restaurants. The portions were slightly smaller than what I'm use to in other restaurants, but I left full and Dan asked for a to go box. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. That would better measure today's experience. It's difficult to measure being fair to the business and not misleading customers. I heard people talking about Lo Mein. Next time I will try that. I noticed you can get a side of Lo Mein for $3.99. This place is definitely worth a try. We are glad we did.

Shrimp fried rice was good. General Tso's chicken was dry. Delivery was fast and food was hot.

Absolutely fabulous lobster ginger scallion, and good Chinese vegetables. Also love the duck-roasted or Peking, and the dry sautéed flat rice noodles

This is where I go when I want solid Chinese food options in East Tulsa. This is an unsuspecting little space that is obviously dated and kind of run down. don't let that stop you from going inside to experience some VERY friendly folks who deliver amazing quality food. I get that some places go all out on decor and keeping it bright and shiny. Again, you won't find that here. I have to rave on though about the food and the service.The first few pages of the menu in my mind tell you about what they really do. Lots of pictures and food spelled out in english only. Flip to the second half and it's no longer english! That tells me they cater to a crowd of folks who want traditionally prepared and serve cuisine! You'll find some Szechuan and cantonese fair and I've yet to have a dish here that didn't blow my socks off! Hands down a great spot and one I'll keep going back to so long as the doors stay open!

This is a solid restaurant. Unfortunately, every time we order online the price it states online is not the same price that gets charged. Once I paid online at checkout and it showed up $2-3 more on my card statement than the receipt I received/payment I submitted online. Thinking it was a one-off or a weird processing fee, I elected to pay in-person on my next order. Again, there was a couple $ discrepancy between the receipt online and what they charged me in person. I've scoured their website and can't find anything about a service charge or anything of the like. Regardless of what's going on, that's a yucky business practice. Might confront them next time, might just not go back... unfortunate.

Food was ok and the buffet was not very well kept or clean. Definitely gone down hill over the last couple years
