Oddly enough ... Good American-style Chinese food is hard to find in Rhode Island. I have not yet…read morefound a good spot ... and China Garden is no exception. Having said that, of the 7z or so, places I have tried in RI, AI would put this toward the top of the list (which isn't saying much). American-style Chinese food is my favourite junk food ... my guilty pleasure. For many years it has been my comfort food (I dove into a plate of Orange Chicken after failing my driving test in high school) and my New Year's Eve tradition (having waited an hour and a half in a freezing cold doorway at Cathay Garden last year). The bottom line is this is just average. You won't hate it ... but it's not as good as 80% of what you'd find in Massachusetts. Chicken Fingers ... This is the golf standard of how I judge good Chinese takeout. They were below average ... a thin, rubbery strip of chicken with around a 20% chicken to 80% breading ratio. The texture was odd, almost as if it was small pieces of chopped up chicken, reconstituted. They also tasted as though they had been soaked in chicken broth. The rice flour coating was good ... but there was way too much vs. the chicken making them too thin, too crispy and too dry. Crab Rangoon ... Incredibly garlic-powder tasting. They are the triangles of dough (normally my favourite kind) and not the little ball-shaped ones more common in Rhode Island. They were just overpoweringly garlic tasting for me. These cheese was cream-cheesy with a slightly sweet crab flavour. A little skimpy on the filling and way too much garlic. Eggroll ... Too small. This was spring roll-sized. Dry filling ... mostly cabbage and not much pork. Didn't have much flavour until dipped in the hot mustard or sweet and sour, which made it better. Didn't taste fresh and was too dry and bland. Pork fried rice ... Judging by the colour of the rice, I thought I'd be disappointed because this looked more like yellow Spanish rice. It actually tasted better than it looked. No egg pieces and very few pieces of onion but there were several thin pieces of pork in it. It needed tons of soy sauce and a small bit of hot mustard. Not the best fried rice I've ever had but I thought it would be worse. BBQ Pork Strips ... The BBQ sauce tasted more like Kraft BBQ sauce than the sweet pink Chinese sauce. Other than that, these were pretty typical of what you find elsewhere with a less BBQ/smokey flavour. General Tso's Chicken ... Meh. Not the worst but not the best. The chicken fingers are similar to the pieces of chicken you'd find in here. The sauce is very sweet and sticky but not as complex as some of the other places I've tried. Not much garlic and citrus to layer in with the sugary sweetness of the sauce here. Pan Fried Peking Ravioli (pork dumplings) ... The best dish they make. Perfectly pan seared on the sides, doughy and a nice pork flavour inside. The included soy/plum (?) dipping sauce was good and went nicely with the dumplings. I'd come back to order these. Condiments ... Gave a miniscule amount of hot mustard sauce compared to other places but it was homemade. Very hot but a bit too sweet. Duck sauce was more like runny applesauce. Homemade but not the best I've had. Overall, 3 stars might seem like a bad review ... but it's really average, which this was. I have been spoiled by the great Chinese food in Massachusetts. For some reason, some states just don't have good suppliers ... I find it odd that Chinese food looks/tastes different at each place in Rhode Island and none of it is great. If I were going to order Chinese food from any restaurant in Rhode Island, this would actually be at the top of the list, which is a sad commentary.

We live 2,500 miles away now and no matter how long or short the stay is in Rhode Island - it's always on our list to go without fail. Chinese like this is hard to come by - it's the real deal Americanized Chinese food we all dream about and seldom find - it's the place we use to compare any place we go wherever we are in the country. Nowhere ever comes close - when you're craving Chinese this is the Chinese you want.

The restaurant was close to the hotel where we were staying. (If you need a visual landmark, it shares the same lot as the Planet Fitness on Main). Here's what we ordered: - Scallion pancakes - Wings - Steamed Vegetables (snow peas, broccoli, and string beans) - Mapo Tofu - Fried Rice Good food for a great price, and the food also stays well the next day. Plus, there's a bar inside (we did not expect to see that) and they have a whole page of Polynesian Cocktails in their menu! We loved the old school charm of the spot, too. Ching Tao is awesome!

I'm heartbroken. This is a sad loss for the locals and island. Ching Tao is the last of the 3 great…read moreChinese restaurants this island had. Hong Kong being the best and my friends family restaurant The Canton being a very close second. This is the second time I've eaten Ching Tao since it changed ownership and the second time I've seen a drastic change in the quality of their food. The difference is night and day. The new owner did what all stupid people do when they buy a great restaurant and trade what made it so great for more money. Such a stupid, STUPID move. He dropped the ball big time and if he doesn't change back right now, it's the beginning of the end for this once outstanding restaurant. I'm sorry. I've eaten this food since I was a kid and I'm 55 now. Trust me when I say what I say. The egg rolls are smaller and pre- cooked or pre cooked even more so when you get them now they're almost burnt and crusty. Not only that they're considerably smaller. I've ordered them on both occasions and they were exactly the same. The best egg rolls on the island by far are close to mall food quality now. I also got the General Tso's chicken. It's half breading now and falls apart on the fork before you can get it into your mouth. I was blown away at the reduction in size of the chicken, the change from chicken breast to thigh meat and doesn't taste half as good as it did. That's all I got the last two times I've eaten there so thats all I can give an opinion on but I'll guarantee everything's changed there in one way or another in the name of the all mighty dollar. I won't be going there again and it makes me genuinely sad. I'm going to miss that place.
