We have been looking for a good Chinese food place, so when we found China Garden and it's only 8 minutes from our house we were excited to try it. While they do have a couple of tables, it's basically a takeout place. It's very clean inside, they have chairs so you can sit and wait for your food if you didn't call your order in. We ordered the Happy Family, Szechuan Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken, egg rolls, wonton soup & hot & sour soup. Let me tell you.....the food was AWESOME!!! We all had leftovers for lunch the next day! They are reasonably priced as well. Since the first order, I took my mom back and she ordered the Honey Chicken and absolutely loved it!! If you have been on the fence about trying China Garden out, do yourself a favor, go order yourself or your family some dinner! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Best Chinese food in the area!!! The sesame chicken and crab Rangoons are delicious! Always fast service too.

See all

I ordered the chicken lo mein with extra vegetables and spicy. Hardly any meat or vegetables and not spicy!! I'll go to Canton House from now on! read more

This small restaurant in a Linden strip mall has EXCELLENT Chinese food! The difference here compared to other Chinese restaurants is that the ingredients and vegetables are very FRESH! Many Chinese restaurants have entrees with lots of sauce that can become quite pasty, not the case here. The food delivered is very fresh and ingredients and sauce offer light and tempting tastes. They are ALWAYS busy (good sign) and the staff moves people through. Cost is extremely reasonable as well. STOP BY!! read more

Great food and promptly on time on every one of my orders. Best Chinese food in Linden and surrounding area. Another hidden gem I'm glad I found. read more

Went by reviews on here... boy am I glad I did!!! We got enough food for the 9yr old and I for dinner and some left over all for $14!!! Sesame chicken has a little kick to it it's very subtle. Everything was warm like it was just cooked when we got home which was 15mins away... we will be going back!!! read more

China Garden - Sesame chicken, 3eggs and 10 crab Rangoon A meal for 2 ppl - Chinese Near Me - Linden, Michigan

Good crab Rangoon egg rolls! The service was quick and affordable. It was a carry out place, not really a sit down restaurant.

amazing, the only chinese place i eat from now they're always so amazing and even on a busy night my order is ALWAYS right and they also have soda cans so you can grab a drink read more

Really nice people and really good food as well. Highly recommend trying them. Service is very fast and on top of that they are polite

Being from Missouri, I've had amazing Chinese food. This place is the best that I've found around me. I'm unable to locate quality Chinese in Michigan. It all seems very bland. Luckily, this one is in my backyard. read more

Not great anymore. I have read other reviews about a definite decline in the food, and sadly I have to agree, It is not an "off" day, it is consistently of poorer quality and taste. The portions are good size and prices are good, but the ingredients are less with more filler. Rice is dry. It seems like the pride this place once had is gone. I'm disappointed it was a great local place, but you can pretty much get this offering anywhere now. Sigh. Bring back the cook! The recipes! The China garden that was! read more

The prices here are unbeatable, I have yet to find a place with more affordable Chinese food. You can get really sizable lunch meals here for only $6.50. It's not the "highest quality" ingredients but it's a perfect budget-friendly option for some quick takeout. The staff is friendly and very quick with service. They are always pretty busy but they still get you in and out quickly. A lot of times there is free green tea while you wait. The food is consistent as well. read more

When you walk into this Chinese place I guarantee your first reaction is going to be "wow this place looks run down, and I have no idea what I'm getting myself into." And that is understandable, considering the way it looks inside, but do not be fooled! This place is beyond the best Chinese food I've ever had. For context I live in Howell, which is quite a drive away, but the drive is so worth it. Compared to every other Chinese place in my town, this place is always going to be worth the 30 minute drive, my grandma and grandpa LOVE LOVE LOVE this place and my grandma always craves their orange chicken. So everytime I decide to drive out to Linden for some Chinese I always pick up something for them too, my mom also loves it here just as much and the rest of my family and I. The staff is quiet and friendly, they always have the food out hot, and as soon as you get in the car you are welcomed by the strong smell of heaven. Like I said, DO NOT let the inside of this place fool you. Best Chinese around. read more

Best Chinese food around! We've been going here for many many years and still remains our families favorite!

I would have emailed China Garden to express some disappointment, but they don't have one. First of all, they have great food and we've ordered from them for years. I picked up an order for dinner tonight. Part of the order was their House Special Fried Rice. It has always been made using brown rice, which has been one of my favorites. Today it was prepared using white rice. Not nearly as good. If this is a permanent change, I'll not be ordering it again. read more

One of the best options for decent Chinese food in the area. Serving sizes are very generous and we were happy with our meals. I would definitely pick this restaurant over options in Fenton and other surrounding areas. read more

We are so lucky to have China Garden in Linden. It has the best Chinese food around. People drive long distances to get their food. I strongly recommend it! read more

Very disappointing. Maybe the least flavorful Chinese food I've ever eaten. Very limited protein option - no fish, just shrimp, chicken, beef or pork. Good sized portions, but again, flavor was as basic as a Campbell soup casserole... and, what is the deal with water chestnuts in so many dishes? Too bad it is the only Asian place in town. We won't return. read more

House special Lo Mein was pretty good, shrimp were not overcooked. The fried rice was fair, more like rice with vegetables and pork not really fried. The eggroll was the real downer, not much to it, mostly wrapper. Orange chicken was decent. All in all better than most of the alternatives in Fenton but not exactly top quality chinese. Will work in a pinch if you don't feel like driving. read more

Food Service Ambience. i've been going here basically since i was born. best crab rangoon in town with fast friendly service

I don't know where to start.... fried rice is not fried rice. I ordered Kung pao chicken they gave me chicken nuggets. My husband ordered some sort of beef and noodle which had zero taste. Just go to the grocery store and get the frozen meals trust me it has more flavor. It was good for the garbage read more

by far best chinese food i've tried!! will for sure come back often! so fresh and doesn't leave you feeling bloated after! absolute best:)

I drive out of my way for this place. Great food and good service. Egg rolls are amazing here!

Soooo good! Was scared to try it a second time because I didn't want to be disappointed. I can tell you I am NOT disappointed. This is the best Chinese I've ever had. I plan on coming back often! read more

We have been back to being regulars at China Garden. The fried chicken (Sweet & Sour and Almond Boneless) and crab rangoon have been delicious. Quick service at a reasonable price. read more

This place is near my work, and there is a reason it's a staple for everyone there. They are extremely quick, quick enough that I can easily get it, eat, and still have some lunch break left (and I only get 30 minutes). I've been down the menu a bit: almond chicken, orange chicken, honey chicken, etc., and it's all really good. Their General Tso's is the best I've had around the area. Love getting it extra spicy. read more

Best chinese food in the Linden-Fenton area. Prepare to wait for your order though, it seems that they're under-staffed at the cashier/order taker position. Update 1/22/16: knocking a star off of my prior review. Food is still good but wait times have ballooned to 45 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous - this has been on several occasions. read more

Excellent food and great prices. I have had several meals from this place and have never been disappointed. They are very fast and willing to change up the dish anyway you want it. read more

My husband and I decided to get food here on Christmas and we were so happy we did! Definitely recommend eating here if you want Chinese!

It's been close to 10 years and I still love this place! Any Linden or Argentine resident knows this restaurant is a true hidden treasure. I've since moved to Burton and still drive out to eat here. Owners have always been extremely pleasant and all employees are very nice and friendly to deal with. Prices are reasonable and food always comes out fresh and great tasting. I've ordered a wide range of food this restaurant offers and I can report everything has tasted great thus far. This is mostly a take-out location, but they do offer 2-3 tables inside that sit 2-4 people comfortably at each table. There are 6-8 chairs to sit down in while you're waiting for your food, however, I do recommend calling and ordering ahead; Even if you plan to dine-in. read more

The food is excellent compared to any other Chinese carry out I have ever had. It is always hot and fresh. They have never disappointed me. So if you want the best Chinese carry out, this is the place. read more

Best Chinese Food in the area! I'm some what of a picky eater so when I find a good place I will keep coming back! I absolutely love the fried rice & the spring rolls are my favorite you guys never disappoint read more

I got the vegetable lo-mein and there were no vegetables in it except for a few pieces of broccoli. Very disappointing. Won't be coming back. read more

Hands down the best crab Rangoon's I've ever eaten and that's saying something. Love their wonton soup too. The rest of the food is kind of bland though. We honestly stopped ordering because the rice is super bland and the chicken is decent. We order the Rangoon's and soup and get the rest of our food somewhere else. Prices are very fair though read more

As many, I have eaten at hundreds of Chinese restaurants over the years, but ran into a problem when we moved further out into the country. There are several Chinese restaurants in the area that are pretty good, but China Garden is excellent. The egg rolls are great and the spiciness of their 'hot' dishes are spot on. The only problem...they are NOT right across the street. Mucho thumbs up for China Garden. read more
