I'm giving this a solid 4 stars. If the servings were either a bit larger or the price was a bit lower I'd say 5 stars. We had beef on a skewer that tasted fantastic but it was four tiny pieces. We had crab Rangoons, I only saw one tiny piece of crab. The rangoons were really tiny. There were six of those. Our main dishes were kung pao chicken and beef with black pepper sauce. We chose spicy dishes because that's what we enjoy. These could have used a bit more spice but they were good. I was disappointed that they don't offer white rice. We had the choice of fried rice or noodles. We chose fried rice because we have never heard of noodles with Chinese food. Of everything we had, I'd rate the rice as something I wouldn't order again. It was dry and tasteless. Dinner came to $70 with a 20% tip and there were no leftovers. This is very unusual for us with Chinese food. We live in Maine and at this price point we would have left the restaurant near us in Maine with enough leftovers for dinner for two twice. But I know this isn't Maine. Service was great until we got our food. No one checked back to see if we needed anything and the server who presented the check never asked if we enjoyed it. The restaurant was clean. We would stop again but I can't give it 5 stars. read more

I ordered chicken and snow peas. The chicken was so salty I chould NOT even eat it. Serves good good read more

I love this place! Such good food and such good variety of options. I'm so glad they've been in Parker for some time and continue to stay!

We have dined here for lunch several times in the past months and have always been greeted with a smile and seated promptly. The egg flower soup is easily the best I've tasted in years. The lunch specials come with a choice of either fried rice or noodles, you won't be disappointed with either choice. The food tastes great and not oily like what some Chinese restaurants serve. The only thing that I don't like is the boxes of supplies that are stacked up above a modesty wall, it kinda distracts from the oriental decor. read more

The food was amazing. Sweet and sour chicken was the best I've had. Won Ton soup is fantastic. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because we asked for hot mustard for our to go order, gentleman said it was in the bag but got home and nothing. Other than that, we will be back. read more

We have a vacation house in parker and wanted something different for a change so we finally tried the local Chinese spot. We appreciated that we could call our order in for pick up. Pretty good wonton soup and general chicken. Good size kid meals as well! read more

Food was decent, service was pretty minimal. While the food was average Chinese food, there wasn't anything about the experience that would make me recommend it to others. Not terrible, not memorable. Wouldn't eat here a second time if we were passing through Parker again. read more

Great spot for good chinese food while at the river! Feeds a lot of people and is a great value, everything we ordered was delicious .

We had the most amazing meal here yesterday for Valentine's Day‼We had been here before on a visit to the area, six years ago, and remembered how good China Garden was then and it was equally good yesterday. Food portions were very generous, and the taste of the food and presentation was incredible. Service was very friendly and efficient. We wish that China Garden of Blythe was much closer to our home in Michigan. So many miles away is a little hard to get here. If we return to the area, we definitely will come back. And we would highly recommend a visit to anyone wondering about this nice place. Thank you for our delicious meal, China garden and employees. read more

Discovered this restaurant the last time we visited Parker AZ & Lake Havasu & it was really good. So we made a point of going again this trip & it's Still Great! My husband had the Seafood Combo & I had the Happy Family & although we both thought they were sort of 'different' than the last time, they were much better than Anything available near our house! We both wish there was one of these near us in Rio Rico AZ! read more

They are very fast and consistent. The prices are okay considering the large portion sizes. Usually 2-3 entrees will feed my family of 7, with left-overs. read more

Excellent Chinese food - very fresh! What a great option for a small town like Parker. Great flavor. Excellent service!

Really good Chinese food and in Parker! Heard about this place a few years ago from friends who swore by it and decided to give it a try. One of my favorite stops in Parker, great place to get food and take home as you're driving in or driving out due to its location. They make the food fresh after you order it, so it's great you can make special requests, such as no MSG or add broccoli. My favorite thing here is the sesame chicken and their noodles. Try them out and you won't be disappointed. I've only got food to go here, but they do have a nice indoor seating area. They accept credit cards. And your best bet is to phone in a to go order about 20 minutes before you'll be there to pick it up. Highly recommend if you're in Parker! I believe they're closed on Tuesdays! read more

Outside the fact that it's the only game in town, we found the food a mediocre throw together Chinese food not made with love or care. In short, it lacked inspiration. The food isn't the only issue that we found here. The staff is rude, like they are trying to hurry you out. The cooks clothes looked like the had never been washed, the salt and pepper shakers need to be cleaned, tables and windows are dirty. Greasy..... please visit and make your own assessment, maybe thing have changed and they have started caring since I was their yesterday. Best of luck to this establishment as my criticisms are for them to better themselves and improve for their benefit as well as their customers. Best of luck..... read more

The seating and ordering services were prompt and the employees were very friendly and personable. The food was excellent. I started with egg rolls that were hot and crispy and tasted really good. My nain was the mixed chop suey and it just floored me. It came with both rice and noodles and the portions were very generous. I will be back here every time I am in Parker!! read more

GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE We have so few restaurants to choose from and I'm very happy we have an excellent Chinese restaurant in town.

On my vacation in Arizona for Fourth of July, my boyfriend and I wanted to try a few of the places around where he's currently staying. China Garden, as far as I can tell, is the only Chinese restaurant in Parker, so of course we had to try it! We walked in and we were sat immediately! The inside of the restaurant dining area was clean and smelled amazing. We ordered crab Rangoon's, I ordered sweet-and-sour pork and accidentally ordered crispy noodles instead of soft lo mein noodles. Austin got veggies and beef in brown sauce, (Per usual.) both of our entrées came with fried rice that we shared. The food came quickly and we didn't have to wait long at all! Even though I accidentally ordered the crispy noodles, (not knowing what I was doing) they were really really good and after awhile, the sauce softened them up! The sauce was also super delicious and savory. The sweet-and-sour pork was really good as well! For being out in the middle of nowhere, the food was actually really good and we will be back for sure! Next time I'm going to try the soft shrimp lo mein like originally intended. read more

First time i wished I would have ordered American food in a Chinese restaurant. The sweet and sour chicken tasted like it was cooked ahead of time refrigerated, and then reheated. The pork fried rice did not have much flavor to it. Got a very small portion of Kung pow chicken, but i will say I got 2 huge scoops of the rice. The restrooms were clean, and the service was pretty good. Recommendation to staff; crack, a smile now and then. This was our second attempt of eating here, and we will definitely not be back I rarely give poor reviews, but wanted to be honest about my feelings. Sorry! read more

If you are craving Chinese food this is the pale to go. Seems odd in Parker but have been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. Service is good and the restaurant is clean. I usually travel from Lake Havasu. read more

China Garden - This is the Honey Walnut Shrimp with fried rice and I had the egg roll but their soup is great also. - Chinese Near Me - Parker, Arizona

We tried the BoBo Platter Appetizer it was tasty however would of liked the hot plate to be cleaner, seemed to have had burned on crust that wasn't appealing looking. We have this same serving tray and hotplate in our home cause I like to make these for us occasionally., easy to scrape and scrub before putting away. Since they were so inviting and quick with service, I'll excuse the hotplate issue. We'd definitely will try another item on menu another time. No need to give photos since there are other reviews with good pics already of the BoBo Platter read more

I'm not sure who rated this to be a 4.0 But this place is not worth the time spent in here. We ordered beef and broccoli and the meat looks disgusting almost like it isn't meat. The chicken chow main had hard pieces of im assuming chicken. The customer services was ridiculous, it almost felt like we interrupted their lunch while they run their business. And no checking up at all. Would not recommend this place. Keep looking or desire another type of food because this ain't it. Also the soda needs taste. read more

Good place to eat. My favorite place to eat. My favorite is sesame chicken, however I brought my friend which is 6 foot and 211 lbs. he received not to pleasant looks. I guess they felt intimated which made him feel uncomfortable and all he was trying to do is eat. So I switch him chairs so they wouldn't look at him overall good place. But rip to my friend. read more

Great place to eat , haven't been let down yet .. The lady who is always there treats my grandkids great , they always love the extra attention we get when we eat out at China Garden .. read more

The worst chinese food I've eaten in my 52 years. Walked into a restaurant that had dolls and other toys for sale on the wall which was weird but I let that go because we were starving and craved chinese food. Went to wash my hands and there were no paper towels, just a wet nasty rag hanging from the urinal shield. Food came out promptly but the sauce of the orange chicken was disgusting and rice was mushy like microwave rice. My iced tea tasted like dirty dish water and my wife and my drink cups were sticky. When paying the bill of $27 we gave $40 cash and the person thought we were leaving the difference for a tip, wth! Eat gas station food before you go here! Sweet Jesus this place was so bad! read more

I WOULD RATE IT 0 but service was bad 2 waiters kept going back and forth between are table the food tasted like frozen microwave ready to eat food and the costumers were really racist to my family read more

By far, one of the best restaurants in Parker, and one of the best Chinese restaurants in General. Food is always served hot and fresh in the kitchen. Service is great. Prices are very fair. Or go to place when we come to Parker. read more

Horrible food. Didnt taste fresh. Tasted like cheap frozen breaded shrimp that tasted old. Lo mein half no good taste...spaghetti noodles with red coloring. Worst restaurant I've ever been to. Do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Went with my wife. Was seated fairly quickly. Took around 10 min before anyone came to table for our order. Asked if wife who has Alzheimer's could order off of child's menus which every restaurant we go to always have said no problem.it was a flat no. Placed our orders and soup was borough right away. I ordered hot sour soup. The soup had no flavor it was just hot water. Our meal came in a reasonable time. Food was hot and decent. When finished and waiting for bill which took better then 15 min to get. Walked to register to pay. Took 20 min to for the cashier also took phone orders . The phone calls took priority ahead of customers to pay. The whole experience was bad. Will not go back read more

China Garden - Really good solid food. Came out super fast and serving sizes were great! - Chinese Near Me - Parker, Arizona

Wow, what a difference going into the restaurant makes! As promised, I can back to sit down and dine versus the take out fiasco I had prior on a different trip to Parker. I was greeted instantly and was seated. Servers are amazingly friendly, attentive, and great all around. Eggrolls, crab puffs, and pot stickers made a wonderful group of appetizers for the table. I really enjoyed the three dipping sauces. The hot mustard is so hot! Yet I became addicted and just kept dunking things in it. Yum. Hot and sour soup was so good tonight! The sesame chicken is good. Tonight I got the broccoli that I was missing in the takeout. It was very good. Came with a side of noodles. Only negative, never got a water refill. Place was busy though. Should have flagged someone down but decided it wasn't a necessity. Overall, very fun! read more

Food is great and seems to have always been that way! However, their SERVICE SUCKS! These people need to learn common courtesy and be grateful that they were able to migrate to Parker and all live in the same house and rake in the big bucks from locals and the visitors here in Parker! read more

Definitely worth coming to. Food was delicious. Very surprising to find a great Chinese food restaurant in Parker. If you are in town definitely come enjoy the food because we did.
