    The best !! in Jerome, Idaho. Love the #1 combination meal…read moresweet and sour chicken fried rice and chow mein enough to feed 2 people and a great affordable price. Always fresh and hot!

    I needed to go to Jerome for an ultrasound last week. Of course I'm going to check out the local…read morerestaurants and see what our food options were. I did Google Chinese restaurants in Jerome and this joint, China Garden came up with a 5 star ranking. Curiosity got the best of me and I needed to see why this Chinese restaurant in this small town is 5 stars. Granted, there were only a few reviews but I had to know why! Honestly, I should have read the Yelp reviews as well. It might have lead me to another restaurant for lunch. My friend and I made it in a little after 1. There were a couple guests eating which is a good sign. We sat ourselves and waited for our server. My friend ordered a diet Coke while we were looking over the menu. Our server had to ask my friend several times what he was drinking because she forgot. I should have taken our first interaction with our server as an indication of how our lunch service would be. I ordered some hot and sour soup to start lunch off. For lunch I got the tofu, shrimp and scallops dish. I did ask the server if there are any vegetables in the dish. Nothing was listed but the 3 things of the dish. She said yes so I didn't worry about adding extra veggies to my plate. Our food came out at the same time. My plate did look good cause it was tofu, shrimp and scallops but I was curious to where the vegetables were at since there were supposed to be some in my dish. Technically there were a few slices of carrots and water chestnuts. When I think of vegetables in a stir fry dish, I think of brocolli, bamboo shoots, onions..... The fact that the server didn't tell me that those were the only two vegetables in my dish was rather annoying. I would have approached ordering my lunch differently. The tofu was soft. The shrimp was nicely sized and cooked perfectly. The scallops were baby scallops and you get a handful of them. The sauce was flavorful and savory. It was actually a good dish but it was pretty much all one texture. If there was some brocolli florettes to add some crunch, I think this dish would have been so much better. My server did forget to order my soup. I probably should have taken that as a sign and not have it. But she brought it out after I asked her about it. I'm going to recommend saving yourself a few bucks and not order it. It was overwhelmingly sour. Way too much vinegar in the soup. No spice and no flavor could be tasted. I ate a couple bites and set it to the side. Our server was clueless, lazy and inattentive. The food was decent. The plate I had could have been that much better if there was a crunch element to it. It's cool I got to check this joint out but it's far from 5 stars on Google. Yelp had the right ranking and I should have read the reviews on Yelp before eating here.
