It saddens Me to write this review. I've enjoyed China Garden for years, via delivery, but this last visit was very disappointing. This time the son and I decided to dine in and the food was borderline spoiled, nothing tasted fresh and it wasn't hot, nor warm. Our food was borderline cold. The interior was dusty and in need of attention, especially the fake plants. Though spacious when we entered there wasn't a soul in the place, which was a red flag, but per usuh we brought people. I'm not sure if our food was so nasty because we ordered a lunch special and they reserve what's going bad for those orders because the other four families dining in didn't seem to be having the same experience. What saved this review from being a 1 star review and the only reason I didn't complain to the waitress about the quality of the food is because the only server was elderly and unable to pick up her feet and my very gracious son said to lig, so I did, but it appears if the couple who runs the restaurant doesn't get some help soon they may need to close their doors. read more

I really like this Chinese food. It has an "A" on the door, so I don't know why it isn't more busy than what it is. I'm not posting pictures because I eat the same thing every time I come here. I always get an egg foo young. Everything is always consistent. The waitress always remembers what your order is. There's never any complaints here so it needs to be more busy!! Please tip the waitress! She works very long hours. read more

China Garden - Egg foo young - Asian Fusion Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Perfect little spot to grab Chinese to go! Today we had three man dishes and few sides to celebrate Lunar New Year. This place has been opened for 40yrs and counting. Now the food is served in cartons and filled to the top ( family was too hungry; forgot to take a quick photo). Food was fresh and very hot. Portions are big enough to share 2-3 people when you order to go as 1-2 when you dine in. It's an authentic Chinese restaurant ready for your service. read more

The food is delicious! It's cooked to order and comes out piping hot. The restaurant looks like what you would expect a Chinese restaurant to look like with all the decorations. It's quiet but the service is awesome. There's always the one older lady that is always there taking the orders and bringing them to the table. She's a sweetheart! This is definitely authentic Chinese food. read more

My mom was craving egg foo young, so I brought her here and ordered the chicken foo young. She said it was the best she's ever had. I've never had it and it was delicious! We also had egg rolls (hot, crispy and delicious) and kung pao chicken (very yummy)! Sorry about the pictures of half eaten food. The service was good; the food came out quickly. I haven't been here in a while and it looks like they did a slight update; the floors are all tile now. read more

We tried China Garden for the first time tonight, and it will be the last. We ordered egg rolls, chicken chow mien, sweet & sour pork, and orange chicken. The chow mien was the only thing that tasted good. The egg rolls had a very funky taste, my husband thought there might be shrimp in it, but there was no mention of that on their menu. The breading on the sweet & sour pork was soggy and I'm not sure it was even tempura. Nothing really tasted that great. Delivery was fast and the food was hot when it arrived. It was -$50 for our meal, but after taxes, fees, delivery, and a tip, it was ~$70, and for that price I expected much better food. Very disappointing. read more

Just went a couple of days ago . Won't go back . Service was bad . Took about 10 minutes before anyone even came out from the back to seat us. Food was yuk . The lemon chicken & sweat and sour chicken tasted the same . The chow main was mushy . Just bad read more

Why have I not found this place before??? Amazingly good food. Can't decide if the egg foo young, orange chicken, chow mein, beef with string beans or fried rice was best. Definitely worth the try if you haven't been before. read more

Food was very good. Egg food young is the best in Bakersfield. Pu pu platter for one, perfect.

Looking for a good Chinese place. This is not it. Everything was pretty bland. Even the soy sauce tasted off. And the sweet-and-sour soup left a horrible taste in my mouth. read more

The food lacked flavor. Sweet and sour pork meal. server might as well worked for the DMV. The 2of us were the only ones there on a Tuesday during lunch. I don't have to go back. I should have saved my appetite for tacos. read more

Great Chinese food! This was my go-to spot when I was younger. They've been in business for 37 years. Their lunch special is my favorite and still so reasonably priced at $11.95 for entree, soup, egg roll, fried wonton and bbq pork fried rice (lunch M-Sat 11-3). open till 9:30pm. read more

Been my favorite Chinese food for so many years. They have the absolute best pot stickers! The elderly woman who runs the business always remembers me and is the absolute sweetest! If you are wanting amazing, fresh authentic food please try here! read more

Ok. So the whole news thing about vermin in the restaurant was obviously blown out of proportion. Construction nearby caused some shifting of critters. Owners of the strip mall refused to help their occupants deal with said critters. Occupants have taken matters into their own hands to keep things managed. So.... They're open! They're running things smoothly, as usual. FOOD IS STILL AMAZING! I ordered take out a couple nights ago. Hadn't heard much about the news thing. Got the whole story from the owner. She was crushed to have the news say negative things about her. So sad. I ordered the Shrimp with garlic sauce. My favorite. Shrimp with onions and peppers and water chestnuts. A little spicy. Delicious! I also ordered the Kung Pao beef. Kung Pao is great. Never tried the beef before. I liked it. Thinly sliced beef with a spicy sauce and cashews. I hope people will get back in to eat. The place is the same its been for years. Food is great. Staff is always on it. read more

This was our first time eating here. The elderly lady running the front of the house moved slowly, but the service was wonderful. She made sure to keep our drinks filled. The food was delicious (beef broccoli, beef fried rice, barbecue pork chow mein, and the three delights sautéed entree). The only con I have is the egg rolls were a tiny bit too oily for me, but the hubs disagreed. We will go back read more

It was empty when we went, a small elderly lady appeared from the inside of the restaurant, and showed us to our tables. She brought us to paper menus and an order form. A little later, she asked what we wanted and we ordered a few things off the menu + drinks. The food came out at a pretty decent time, not too fast or too slow. Staff was sweet and decor is nice, I appreciate seeing people in reviews talking about how they ate here years ago. Food was good, everything was fine :) read more

We found this place accidentally Wednesday night, I just have to say yum! The service is amazing. We felt like we were at a friends home having dinner. Their shrimp fried rice is excellent but their Crispy Duck won us all over. This is now our go to for authentic Chinese cuisine. read more

I am from NYC and I know good Chinese food. China Garden is good Chinese food. The quality, taste, and cleanliness are top-notch. They're open for takeout/delivery so let's support them in this crisis! read more

Really good quality food with great service, will be back again soon. Another thing that stood out was how clean it was inside

Sadly I was not a fan, everything was very oily and had no taste. I figured since I was trying this place out that I would go the safe route and ordered orange chicken, fried rice, chowmain, and pot stickers thinking it couldn't possibly be ruined. Now I'm out of $50 and have a stomach ache. read more

The Food was so delicious. The food was nice and hot! Best in town! I ordered the shrimp fried rice it was nice and hot it tasted perfect.

This is my go to for delivery! Delivery is free and worth the wait. Not that it takes long, rather quickly actually. I usually order the sizzling rice soup, soooo good! House special pan fried noodles are the best here! They are chewy and have a ton of flavors! Also can't go wrong with the potstickers! Definitely homemade and delicious! I could eat a whole order for myself. Order through yelp and get quick delivery! read more

I've been coming here for the past few days. Their food is delicious. But things change when I came in today to pick up my order. Y'all know I love my chili oil. I checked my order and she only gave me one. I asked for 4 more, and she said it's a "dollar" each. Mind you these chili oil come in a small container. SMALL container and it's a dollar!? Sorry, I wanted to give this place a try. I'm sticking with Great Castle China. Over there, they know me and my family already and they know when I'm there, they give me extra chili oil (NO CHARGE)! I really tried my best with this place, but the owner or lady up front just gave me weird vibes as well. read more

I love China garden the food there is very tasty I love going there with my family I recommend going there with ur family

Fantastic buffet! Just moved to the area, and I am so glad that I found this as my go to Chinese buffet! The layout is very open and welcoming. It's a sizable restaurant so you can eat comfortably without having to be shoulder to shoulder with strangers. The buffet itself has solid options and the staff do a superb job maintaining the restaurant as it was very clean, and they are on top of things as it persons to refills! Tip - there is a pep boys in the corner of this same complex which is also awesome. Drop your car off here for maintenance and head over to this buffet so you can maximize your time! read more

I literally have been coming here for over 25 years and I still remember the food here being delicious since then! The owner, Yoya, has seen my siblings and I grow up and she and her employees have always treated us with respect and courtesy! This restaurant is an institution for me as I still think they make the best Chinese food in Bakersfield. I haven't had anything else in town that comes close besides The Great Wall. My favorites are the Garlic Chicken, Sliced Chicken with Broccoli, Kung Pao Three Delights, and the Chicken Chow Mein! OMG!!! These are all just so amazing! I also LOVE their sizzling rice soup and is seriously one of the best soups in town. In fact, if I'm sick, I will get this to help me feel better! I also love their egg rolls and their chicken in the foil! You really can't go wrong here! While this place is a hole-in-the-wall and a bit aged, they really do make the best Chinese food in town. Plus, I have been coming here since I was kid and literally grew up on this food! This place will always have a soft spot in my heart and I will continue to come here for years to come! Highly recommended! read more

Needed to try another part of town for a change, was craving some good Chinese food. It was mid-day on a Sunday and not at all busy in the dining room - no one! The good: The lady who took my order was very sweet. Another worker was so funny, squawking loudly at another co-worker and admittedly could not wait to get out of there for her break! 2 customers coming in for pick-up seeing me peruse the paper take out menu did not hesitate to recommend their fave dishes. Gave me some confidence that the place has regulars The food was reasonably priced Ready within the 15 min they had quoted me The not so great: I would never eat in here - it was dingy, very pepto pink and really outdated. For take out I could care less though, if the food is good The food was not good - major issue. I did not eat very much just in case and while I was not ill afterwards, my tummy was doing somersaults for a couple of hours and I had to eat some ginger tablets Ordered: Kung Pao Three (beef, shrimp, chicken) This came with white rice which seemed fine and I liked that it was included with this dish. Many places charge for it! I found the sauce to be a bit flat. Needed a bit more heat and sweet. The shrimp had a bit of a funky smell to it - and it should not, of course. Did not eat the shrimp Chicken fried rice. The chunks of chicken were larger than some places but consisted of only dark meat, making the rice a bit greasy Total $23 Glad we tried it but not sure we will return. read more
