The service was fine with only 3 customers, myself included. My main dish was shrimp fried rice and was so skimpy with the tiniest shrimps, but lots of rice. I will not order it again! They need to do better with this dish. Rice is cheap, add more shrimp if you charge this price! I was disappointed with my first visit to this restaurant. read more

Been coming here for about seven months always thought the price was high! They always messed up our order every time but except for one time and we come at least once a month sometimes we were coming twice a month! Came in today for dinner. Our price should've been $34 rounded up for pepper steak. $11.45 chicken lo mein $9.95 & in Singapore mei fun $11.35! Total came out to $41.17! So this place is definitely over charging you! Plus, they can't get an order right! got water! So they're charging for everything and now they got a little sign sticking on the front that's not with the menu price! It's not when you come in the door. It's not on the menu. It's not notified anywhere, but a little paper sign stuck to a piece of plexiglass glass that you can't see when you come! The food is good, but after coming all the time every month and once at least if not more, and then them up charging will not be back! Food is good. Other just as good Chinese food other places in Albuquerque that do not charge that the prices are straightforward and you still get good decent! read more

My first visit to this establishment was August 20, 2025. There is plenty of parking available. Clear signage out front. Staff is friendly and helpful. Decor is relaxed and has Asian theme influence. The menu has many choices. My dining companion had orange chicken and I had general TSO's tofu, and a small bowl of hot and sour soup. The accompanying white rice was excellent. The chicken had an amazing crunch on the outside and then was very tender. My General Tso tofu was very well done. Portion sizes are very generous. The hot and sour soup was absolutely perfect. Prices are excellent. read more

I drive by this place all the time and haven't been in in quite some time. I have to preface this with Chinese food as a pescatarian can be really really tricky - pork and other things sneak into the food fairly often so I'm always a bit wary. That said, I came in here on some recommendations from some vegans to finally give it a try. I got the crab rangoons and the sweet and sour shrimp. Both were absolutely delicious. The rangoons are interesting, they're flat which means a lot more filling ends up in them than in your traditional shape. There were also a lot of them for the price. The sweet and sour shrimp was cooked perfectly, it was a little light on vegetables, but the flavor was definitely spot on. The staff was all super friendly and very helpful. It's a small space in a little strip mall so a bit easy to miss but if you're in the area definitely stop by! read more

China Garden - Sweet and sour shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Very disappointed! They were understaffed, thus it took ages to get my food. The main entree was mediocre. The cashew shrimp was not terrible but strange that the cashews were just sprinkled on top of the stir fry. The worst part was biting into the egg roll only to taste rancid oil. Also, the fried rice was tasteless appeared to just be plain rice with some brown color added. The TV playing in the background was pretty off putting to top off this sub par experience. Will not be back! read more

We've been eating here for years. Dinner was not up to their usual standards tonight. Ordered the Special Family Dinner for Two for pickup. Received egg drop soup instead of the requested won ton, chicken lo mein had a total of two pieces of chicken in the entire order and General Tso's chicken was just fried pieces of breading, no chicken. And to top it off, see below photo of my fortune cookie. I hope they were just having a bad night. read more

China Garden - Not much fortune in this cookie. - Chinese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

There are a few places in Albuquerque similar to this place. VERY FEW, thank God. Many times we visited, the owner (Asian woman) made us wait for our food even being there first, in order to cater to customers there after us, just because of our skin color. We don't support fascism. Our money is equally valued and same color "green." We stopped visiting after realizing this issue. Disappointed customers read more

The food is great and the service was on point. Hope you will go by. I have oder food also and it was good.

Always a good meal. Fast friendly service. Would recommend. Had the beef and broccoli and the orange chicken. Yum

China Garden has the most delicious and fresh Chinese food. It is modestly priced compared to the competitors. I asked for special orders of things and the cook does it to perfection for no extra cost. The atmosphere and ambiance is nothing to write home about , but there are approximately nine tables and people come in and eat. If you want to get in and out quickly, but sit down and eat, go Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening. Friday and Saturday evenings are kind of busy because it's so good! read more

Amazing food, great service, and friendly owner. Every time I come here, I am always so pleased. I LOVE the food here, and the owner is so nice. She even replaced a dish for me for no charge when I accidentally ordered the wrong item. She also gave me a cute calendar once and I have it hanging in my office. Crab Rangoon, chicken lo mein, sesame chicken; always delicious and always leftovers. Yum!! read more

Hey guys, this is one of my new goto lunch stops. I am fond of their shrimp egg foo yung. Made to order, fresh ingredients and served with great steamed rice. 3 patties and gravy. It's so cool read more

Food is tasty. The war wonton soup is large and full of great ingredients. I ordered for a group: we had the chicken with broccoli, chicken with mixed veggies, kung pao beef, schezwan chicken, and kung pao shrimp. Everyone loved the food I was surprised, in a good way, when they rung up the cost. VERY reasonably priced. I appreciate that they are generous with portion sizes. I got my food to go, so didn't dine in. But the restaurant looked very clean and well taken care of. Will need to take pics of the food before we dig in next time! read more

Easy access from the intersection of Montgomery and Tramway Blvds. Plenty of good parking. Clean modern restrooms. Tables or booths both available. Seating for maybe 30 max. Service was courteous, friendly and prompt. So far I've tried a few menu items including soups, chicken wings, egg foo young and a rice and veggie dish. Food quality is top notch, portions are satisfyingly large, there's a very lengthy menu with enough variety to suit almost any taste. Kitchen does a terrific job and the food is almost too hot to eat as served. I live in Santa Fe and am happy to drive the 35+ miles for their food. The prices are quite reasonable too. There's other shopping nearby too. This is a hidden gem. read more

Great food, friendly owners and ready when promised.... The Lo Mein was excellent and everything else Kung Pow, egg rolls all fresh and not greasy. Stopping by weekly now! read more

I had never been here before last Sunday. I was looking for a Chinese restaurant that was opened that had General Tso's chicken...I was craving it from another place that was closed. I rolled the dice and ordered General Tso's chicken and some sweet and sour pork... your basic go-to Chinese takeout and it came up 7's! General Tso's chicken could have used a little more heat and next time I'll see if they will accommodate my taste buds. It was, nevertheless, very tasty and had some just right steamed broccoli as a garnish. The sweet and sour pork was very good also. My son was surprised at the great quality and freshness. My fave is General Tso's chicken cold, for breakfast the next morning! Does that make me a bad person? I'll be going back! read more

Food and service is good with ambiance par with other Asian restaurants. Nothing fancy and doesn't need to be.

We've been coming here for 3 years. The waitress is super nice, and the food always comes out in less than 20 minutes. And the food is really good! They also have really good prices! A whole plate with your choice of rice or noodles and your meat and some egg rolls or soup, is only $6.50. This place is wonderful and I'll always recommend it. read more

China Garden - Garlic beef with veggies, fried rice, crab rangoons with duck sauce $6.50 - Chinese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We went here for dinner. & I'm so glad we did! Their Crab Rangoons were 10/10. I ended up ordered more the next day, along with their Egg Drop Soup & Boneless BBQ Spare Ribs. You know it's a good spot when you want to try everything on the menu. read more

We order from local restaurants once a week and normally go to Tsai's but I did not feel like driving that far so we decided to to try another place. China Garden was close so we decided to try it. The food was tasty and there was a great variety to choose from. We will be going back. read more

This little hole in the wall family owned restaurant serves quality Chinese cuisine. I'm a big egg foo young fan and the gravy is yummy. The Szechwan is tasty but not too hot or spicy. If you want more heat try Thai, Indian or Korean food. This is your basic Chinese food, not too salty or too much soy. You will not be disappointed in whatever you may order. If they offered delivery, I would be ordering at least once a week. read more

Such good Chinese food tucked away on Montgomery! Always so much food when I order. Great customer service and cute restaurant inside.

The best moo shu pork in the 505! Fantastic value and delicious- my new go to place. Very nice staff/owner too.

Great American Chinese food, China Garden is hard to beat for certain dishes. The BBQ spare ribs are sweet and tender. General Tso dishes are really good and can be customized, sweeter and/or spicier with extra crispy chicken or shrimp. Garlic sauce is savory especially when you ask for ginger to be added. There are usually seafood specials listed on the board. Salt and pepper anything is good. Singapore Mai Fun can be ordered extra spicy with pork and seafood. Stay away from the cashew chicken, and the miniature corn in dishes. It's worth the drive. If you don't know what to order, ask the nice Chinese woman her recommendations. She always recognizes my family, including extended family. The egg foo young recently has been elevated, maybe a new cook. It is now crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with pork, shrimp, and veggies. It comes with a savory gravy. But I recommend it for dine in only. It doesn't taste the same for take out or reheated. read more

Very nice people running the show here! We ordered the egg rolls which were quite large, but the wrap was too thick. Next we had the hot & sour soup. No heat, and it was not sour, but lots of tofu. Main - Kung Po Beef which is suppose to be Spicy, but sadly it was Not. In fact none of the food ordered had any flavor at all. The beef was very chewy and the vegetables were over-cooked. Such a disappointment to have a Chinese restaurant nearby that fails in food preparation and taste. read more

One an done ....I got the pu pu platter for two the appetizer.. the ribs were like jerky ... the Rangoon's taste frozen and straight fried ... shrimp was mushy in the when u bit into .. under fried... but lucky the shrimp was cooked already looked frozen as well.. so far the only thing that was good was the shrimp fried rice read more

Super thrilled with this place. Ordered takeout for the first time and everything was fresh and delicious. As a New Yorker, it's not easy to find good Chinese food here, but this place is a winner. read more

We love and rely on this place weekly for a healthy well portioned lunch. Our dish teems with fresh vegetables and the crab wontons are the best in ABQ. read more

The take out is great! The food is so good and it isn't too greasy like most take out places.

Excellent Chinese food. I got the chicken snow pea and my partner got the general Yao's chicken. We both really enjoyed our dishes. The service was quick and the waitress was nice. read more

I decided to eat here because of 4 star review. I'll start off with what I like about China Garden. The lunch specials are cheaper then most places in ABQ. Another good thing with the lunch specials is the portions. Not to big, not too small. The waitress was polite and friendly. What I wasn't too impressed with was the flavor and the spice factor of the Kung po chicken, just meh. I won't just write this place of just yet. I think I'll give it another try and order something different next time. read more

I'm Asian and I love this place! I know it sounds a little racist of me to to say this but I love a good Chinese restaurant, authentic or not. I ordered Hunan chicken, Beef and broccoli, and hot and sour soup. I am pleased with all my dishes! Lots of fresh veggies and perfect seasoning. The rice is even really good which many people don't notice, but I do! It's so tender. I just moved to this side of town and am ecstatic I have a go-to right around the corner! read more

AMAZING! The owners are absolutely fantastic and the food is amazing. It's not expensive and it's the only place in the city I'll go for Chinese food :) A 10/10 in my book! The restaurant is ALWAYS clean. My significant other and I live down the road and we're here at least once a week. It always smells amazing and the staff is always so nice! read more

I had the house special lo mein, which was average. I also tried the boneless spareribs which were quite tough, but the sauce was good. Finally, the fried dumplings were disappointing but that might have been because they were takeout and didn't travel well. read more

I frequently order orange chicken because it's never spicy, for me it's safe. This dish was spicy and overly sickening sweet, very little orange flavor, gick. I also order chicken fried rice, another safe dish, no onions, no spice. This dish was gagging dry, tough peas (they should be fresh and pop when bitten), very little flavor and had onions, gick. My sister order shrimp with lobster sauce...NO lobster, rather it contained fake krab....and the sauce was generic. She also got shrimp fried rice...same issues as my fried rice dish. The fortune cookies were good. But, for $27.65, it she have been really good! We were very disappointed and will not return. read more

I joined Yelp just to write this review. I have been looking for good crab rangoon here in Albuquerque for awhile now. Most places just carry the cream cheese wontons or crab rangoon that tastes more like cake frosting. China Garden has the good stuff along with prompt and friendly service! read more

This review is based on my take-out experience. A 15 to 20 minute wait turned into 45 minutes. Not a great way to start, especially when they didn't appear to be busy in the restaurant or with take-out. As for the food, so-so. The egg rolls and dumplings had good flavor but were luke warm, at best. The egg foo young was good but the sauce was very salty. The curry shrimp was reasonable. Overall, a mediocre experience. read more

This is my favorite go-to for Chinese, even better that it's around the corner. They recognize my family by order, and we love the service!
