Well, my friend recommended we meet up for lunch here and I wasn't all that excited because most of the Chinese restaurants I've been to lately the food all taste the same... But and I mean, but... I was pleasantly surprised by the varied flavors and taste and portions of this Restaurant ! We had the sweet-and-sour and the Kung pow chicken and the green beans plus potstickers and I must say I highly recommend this restaurant. We got there around 11:30 and there is parking right in the front and were greeted warmly and everything was clean and our server was most attentive... Highly recommend.

Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles

Since our favorite place on the boulevard closed down, we've been in search for a good Chinese restaurant. One of my friends at Church recommended this place and I'm glad that she did. We have been in search for a good tomato beef, chow mein, Hong Kong style for the longest time since our go to place in Chinatown closed decades ago and there has been a price gouging of one of the places in Cv we used to go all the time. We were able to try the tomato beef chow mein Hong Kong style here and to our delight, it's one of the best tomato beef chow mein we've had! The portions are more than generous, the price is reasonable, beef is tender, and it's delicious and just how I remembered our tomato beef chow mein to be in the past. AND they give fresh hot homemade mustard if you ask. The only thing I wish they did was put the sauce on the side bc by the time we get home, it's all soggy and we miss out on the crispiness of the noodles. We also tried the wor wonton. They were generous w the ingredients, but broth is a bit bland and it was just ok. Ordered take out several times here and never seems to be that many people. Will be looking forward to trying out other dishes.

Wonton Soup

The sesame chicken was very good! Perfectly cooked and nice and saucy. Honey walnut shrimp was also very good. Nice and crispy and delicious. I enjoyed the wonton soup as well. The garlic chow mein was tasty but I didn't taste much garlic. All in all I was very happy with this place and I have to say it just might be my new go to for Chinese food.

Éste es el plato de Mongolian beef pero no veo mucho la carne

Ayer mandé a mi hijo y a mi sobrino a comprar comida a este lugar y ellos ordenaron la comida para ir a recogerla, para comer en casa. Y la verdad que ellos ordenaron chow mein no tenía sabor pero dije (bueno si le pongo chile tal vez ayude un poquito) y le puse y más o menos le dio sabor. Pero lo peor estaba por venir , cuando abro la caja donde estaba el Mongolian beef me llevo la sorpresa que sólo venían cuatro pedacitos de carne y lo demás era pura cebolla entonces dije yo ordené Mongolian beef o cebolla beef!!! me molesté mucho porque siento que a veces cuando uno ordena comida para llevar a casa la gente no hace bien la comida pensando en que cuando uno llegue a casa ya no va a regresar a reclamarles y eso fue lo que hice yo no regresé a reclamarles porque vivo un poco retirado del restaurant. Pero aquí les comparto una foto. Gracias por leer mi triste anécdota.

Beef Chow Mein
Christina D.

Food was decent. Vegetables were on the larger side, I prefer smaller bite size pieces personally. The flavor just wasn't there for me. Everything was very bland. The salt and pepper fish was a little too fishy tasting to me if that makes sense. The chow mein my 7 year old LOVED. I truly believe this place is kid friendly flavoring if you have picky eaters. Service was excellent and attentive. Area is large and accommodating. They have a cute bar area that wasn't staffed at the time but wouldn't mind coming back for a drink when I have no kids. We got 5 à la cart dishes 2 soft drinks and that put us at $109, which fed 6 people and we havr some left overs. My kids devoured the fried rice before I got a picture. I absolutely love cashew chicken but I wasn't really a fan of it here unfortunately. Nothing was gross but definitely just too bland for me. Overall, I would say for groups/parties etc this place would ideal.

They have CCTV, still employees decided to take out photos, fine by us.

I want to share a deeply disappointing experience my wife and I had at China Garden in Castro Valley on September 21, 2024. This was not just an issue of bad customer service--it exposed unethical and potentially illegal practices involving undisclosed fees and deceptive pricing. We used to live in Castro Valley a few years ago and often ordered food from China Garden through DoorDash. We loved their food, so when we found ourselves back in the area after moving out of state, we decided to order from them again for pickup through DoorDash. After placing the order and arriving at the restaurant, we decided we were too hungry to wait until we got home, so we thought we'd just dine in instead. The Issue: Undisclosed Service Charge When we entered the restaurant, which was nearly empty except for a group of diners and some workers prepping vegetables, I politely asked if we could eat inside instead of picking up the order. A staff member said that was fine, but she immediately mentioned that the prices would be different. This confused me, as we had already paid for the food through DoorDash. When I asked her to clarify, she said that we'd have to pay a service charge to dine in, even though the food was already paid for. This made no sense. We had already paid more than their in-store prices through DoorDash, and we were planning to tip generously anyway, but the idea that we would be charged a hidden service fee just to sit down in a nearly empty restaurant was ridiculous. Pricing Discrepancy Curious, I picked up a menu to see if they had any mention of a service charge or different prices for dine-in versus pickup. To my surprise, the prices of the two items we ordered were actually lower on the in-store menu than what we had paid through DoorDash! So not only had we paid more on DoorDash, but the restaurant was attempting to charge us even more to eat there. This was simply unjustified. Lack of Transparency and Disrespectful Behavior I politely asked the staff member why there was no mention of the service charge on the menu or posted anywhere in the restaurant. Her response? She pointed vaguely toward the wall where they had health permits and a few other signs, but none of them mentioned a service fee. When I pressed further, she finally pointed to a sign that read, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." This response was completely irrelevant and dismissive. I wasn't asking about their right to refuse service--I was asking about a hidden fee that they were trying to impose on us. When I explained that this wasn't fair and asked again where the service charge was disclosed, she became evasive and giggled as if my questions were amusing to her. This was incredibly disrespectful and frustrating. Deceptive Actions with DoorDash After this back-and-forth, my wife and I decided not to dine in because the staff's attitude and refusal to provide a proper explanation left a bad taste in our mouths. I asked her to cancel our order since we didn't want to support a business that treated customers this way. She refused to cancel the order herself and told me I would need to contact DoorDash to get a refund. Fine, I thought--no point arguing anymore. But as we were leaving, something even more deceptive happened: the restaurant marked our order as "ready for pickup" on DoorDash--right after telling us they wouldn't be making the food! This was done purely to avoid the cancellation, making it seem like the order was completed when it wasn't. Fortunately, I contacted DoorDash, explained the situation, and they refunded us in full immediately. But this deceptive practice was a final insult. Violations of California Law China Garden's actions aren't just frustrating--they violate several California consumer protection laws. Here's why: Violation of SB 478 (California Senate Bill 478) California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) Civil Code 1770: False Advertising Conclusion: Dishonest Practices and Poor Customer Service What could have been a pleasant meal at one of our former favorite restaurants turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience. China Garden not only tried to charge us hidden fees without any prior disclosure, but the way their staff handled our simple questions was disrespectful and unprofessional. This kind of behavior, combined with the illegal and unethical practice of adding service charges without notice, makes me strongly question the integrity of this business. If you decide to dine here, beware of hidden fees that are not mentioned on the menu, and be prepared for unprofessional treatment if you dare to ask about them. I have filed a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs and plan to report this incident to other consumer protection agencies. Transparency in pricing is not optional--it's required by law, and I would expect better from any business, let alone one we've supported in the past.

I finally decided to take a peek and got some take-out to bring to a family member's house for a luncheon get-together. Given the old fast food spacing, I thought this was going to be mostly a take-out spot. But this place does have some tables in there and may even rock some table service. I did a pick-up on a weekend lunch, and the inside was quite packed, almost chaotic even. The tables are jammed together, and people are bringing parties of 4-6 in here like it is a banquet hall, some even lugging strollers in that tiny space. And with all that clusterf#@'n, there is a line of people standing, waiting for take-out literally hovering over people's heads that are eating. Friggin' insane! Total 180 from 2020...member those days. Lol But I can see why people can mob this spot. The kitchen is pretty decent, not top notch but quite decent. And even though not cheap ($17+ dishes) they do give you a good amount, so I think there is a good perception for value here Combo Chow Mein ($19/3*) I got this for family members that like noodles, and I thought it was just mid. Thick yellow lo mein noodles are stir fried with big chunks of chicken, pork and shrimp. The proteins were impressive as nothing were tiny bites. But the noodles were just meh, with little wok flavor and it just seemed a bit tacky to me, versus smooth and chewy. I wanted to try the chow fun but will have to wait til next time. The reviews seem positive for that. Half Roast Duck ($18/4.5*) I only had a few pieces during our potluck and I felt they do a good job with these roast ducks. Beautiful mahogany color on the exterior, not too crisp but also not greasy and soggy. The meat was juicy and not too salty, which I applaud. Lots of bony pieces but that is the nature of this dish, it is a nibbler's jam. Salt n Pepper Pork Chops ($17.50/3.5*) Thin cut pork chops cut into smaller pick-up pieces. It is definitely marinated in that baking soda seasoning as the meat is super tender, almost squishy. There's some starch coating (cornstarch?) but the fry is so light that it doesn't get that crisp. I like it more crisp. But not sure if the steam from the box softened the crispness, but I tried one right in the car to taste while it was still fresh. I liked the seasoning as it was salty and very garlic-y, but the exterior was more sticky and tacky versus crisp. I love Canto food so I'm sure I'm gonna be back to try more dishes. Still want to try their Wonton Soups, a simple steamed fish dish with some vibrant greens and that Beef Chow Fun just to name a few. I may even eat in but definitely on a weekday/weeknight. I'm not too keen with someone hovering above my head whilst I'm having a serious nomming session. *insert shrugged shoulders emoji*
