My Kung Pao chicken, however, had a slightly bitter taste, and I couldn't finish it. The egg roll and rice were both great. The portions were well-balanced, not overloaded with rice. The lo mein noodles were also very good, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. There's no dine-in option, but pickup was quick and the area was well-lit. It's a cash-only spot, but they have an ATM inside if you need it. Overall, it's a solid takeout choice. Every restaurant has one dish that misses the mark, and here it's the Kung Pao chicken, so keep that in mind.

Do not eat at this restaurant. Here 's my warning…read more This place is having a major identity crisis. They are in the process of merging restaurants so we received several menus but were told that not all items were there and that there are some repeats and that all the prices were going to be different. Next, within a minute of sitting down, the waitress very seriously yelled at a young child we had with us about using chopsticks. This kid knows how to use chopsticks and uses them at home. She was excited to see them and be able to use them at a restaurant. The waitress then belittled us for allowing that. She was an extremely nasty person and ruined the entire experience. We resisted the urge to walk out and now have regrets about it. She felt awkward about how we received her criticism, so she pet the child's head and called her a pretty girl. The place is decorated with Christmas presents and bells (it's May). I wish that was the most insulting thing. We were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time. (That should have been our first sign). If you didn't want people to eat there, just close the inside and do just take out. As soon as we were sat she asked what we wanted and wouldn't leave until we asked her to. She came back with drinks a minute later and wouldn't leave again so we ordered a couple appetizers just to buy more time in deciding our dinner. She continued to belittle us and made eating incredibly awkward. We received our entree before we were done eating the appetizer, so I guess she wanted us to leave as much as we wanted to leave. The sushi was surprisingly good. Which is why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. I just felt so uncomfortable eating here that I didn't enjoy much of it at all.

I'm sorry but it wasn't good. I ordered lunch special shrimp and garlic sauce and the shrimp was…read morevery mushy. Almost like it wanted to go bad and they still decided to cook it. Disappointing. I probably wouldn't go back.

I'm not usually a huge fan of Chinese food, but Yoan's Garden has definitely earned my repeat business. I've been back several times because the food is always cooked really well. The shrimp fried rice might honestly be the best rice I've had from any Chinese restaurant. The prices are good too, which makes the experience even better. The only downside is that the parking lot can be rough, so just be prepared for that. Overall, this place has left a great impression on me, and I'll definitely continue coming back.

3-Star Review - Pink Lotus Cantonese, Metuchen, NJ…read more Stopped by Pink Lotus Cantonese Restaurant in Metuchen around 10 PM when not many other places were open, so the location was definitely convenient--right next to lots of shops. The space is nice with good seating and a clean, comfortable setup. Tried the stir-fried chili tofu, brown rice, and noodles. The noodles were the best part--flavorful and well-cooked. Unfortunately, the tofu was quite average with not much taste, and the brown rice was a bit too dry for our liking. Parking is tough around this place .. paid parking mostly . Overall, a decent late-night option if you're nearby, but the flavors could use a boost.
