China Garden is delicious, and an easy five from me. My two recommendations are the pork buns and the House Special Fried Rice. The fried rice is well seasoned and packed with beef, chicken and shrimp, so every bite has something in it. The staff are nice too, which makes it a place I'm happy to keep going back to. read more

We were visiting from San Jose and stumbled across this place, and what a gem it turned out to be! The food was absolutely delicious--comforting, flavorful, and reminiscent of the classic Chinese restaurants many of us grew up loving. Every dish tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the portions were incredibly generous, making it a great value as well. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were so warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The restaurant itself has a nostalgic charm that brought back fond memories of family dinners and simpler times. We only wish we lived closer because this would definitely become one of our regular spots. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Chinese food served with genuine kindness, this place is well worth a visit. Proud to support local Asian-owned businesses that help make our communities so vibrant and diverse. #SupportAsianBusinesses #ShopLocal #HiddenGem #ChineseFoodDoneRight read more

Been Going To This Spot Since I Was A Little Girl. I Haven't Been In A While But The Food Continues Taste Delicious. My Family & I Are Well Known Here Lol I Tried The Spicy Orange Chicken For The First Time & It Was Really Good & Honestly Not Really Spicy. The Staff Are Always So Welcoming & Talkative. Highly Recommend If You Are Craving Yummy Chinese Food! Sizzling Soup Is By Far My Fave! read more

Ordered the lunch special. Chowmein was terrible, soaked in oil and no vegetables mixed in the chow mein. Kum Pow chicken soaked in oil with no real flavor and too much fat on chicken. Service was good, but the food was so bad, I could not eat it all. read more

I was looking for fast food and decided to try this place. Glad I did because it was way better. The food was very flavorful and fresh. The staff was really friendly and welcoming. I had ordered to go so I forgot to take pictures but we ordered house special fried rice, chow fun noodles and beef broccoli. Every item felt very fresh. I would definitely go there again! read more

My colleagues and I had Honey Walnut Shrimp, House Fried Rice, and Mixed Vegetables, and they were each so delicious, authentic, and fresh! The cost was very reasonable. This has been a favorite Chinese restaurant for decades! read more

China Garden - House Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Our food has always been prepared fresh and the servers are helpful and pleasant. Lately, I am wondering if this place has new owners as the paper menu and servers have changed. The menu still offers our favorite dishes but their take-out menu has been updated with color and photos. I ordered my favorite lunch special, beef tofu (with unfried tofu). My husband ordered the chicken with black bean sauce. As usual we both requested half chow mein and half fried rice. Both sides are very good. The hot and sour soup that accompanied our lunches was robust and flavorful. It was nice and hot and one of the best I've had. Our meals were delicious and it definitely curbed my craving for Chinese food. We enjoyed our lunches, the servers are courteous, and the dining area is comfortable and clean. We have never been disappointed here. read more

My wife have been enjoying the take out here for the past few weeks. The lunch special served before 3PM is a good deal. My wife always gets the mixed vegetables that come with a small side of rice and chow mien noodles. The special also comes with soup. The service is really speedy as it usually takes just 10-15 minutes for the order to be ready after we call it in. We look forward to returning:) read more

BAD experience at this neighborhood restaurant We grabbed dinner from China Garden on Stony Point. We have eaten there or ordered takeout food from them before because it is very close to our home. While it was never great, it always was at least decent. Yesterday, however, it was not good at all. Mine was overcooked and tasteless, made with old vegetables. My friends was also very bad. He woke up at 3:00 AM with horrible stomach cramps! He had to cancel all work today. Ugh! DON'T GO THERE! read more

China Garden has long been my favorite Chinese restaurant. Luckily it's in my neighborhood so we go frequently. The staff/owners are so friendly and accommodating and the food is just amazing. Last night my husband and I each had their "individual dinner" which allows you to choose any entree and comes with bbq pork fried rice, a cup of hot and sour soup; and an egg roll for $8.75 more than the entree price. He always goes for the Mongolian beef and I usually get the sweet and sour chicken (mushu is another regular favorite). Everything comes fresh and hot- the sweet and sour chicken is crispy amid that wonderful sweet sauce. I love this place and I will never stop singing their praises!! read more

Great food and staff here. Love the lunch special because it is a huge serving for pretty cheap

The place was very clean. We had a big group & they quickly put a table together for us. They took our drink order & it quickly arrived. They also took our food order, and food came out very quickly. We had family style, so we ordered a bunch of dishes & then shared. This are the dishes we got Chowmein combo Fried rice combo Wor Wonton soup Beef & brocoli Orange chicken Kung pao chicken Walnut shrimp They were all very tasty & tasted fresh & hot. Food was tasty & portions are a great size for sharing. Prices were very reasonable will definetly try it again. read more

Ordered dinner via Door Dash tonight. I got special combination chow fun, egg rolls, and walnut prawns. The egg rolls were so oily that I had oil dripping down my hand. The chow fun was lacking flavor and had a big fishy over tone. The walnut prawns were ok but the pineapple that came with it was not ripe and lacked flavor. Won't be ordering again. read more

It was barely edible. The won ton soup broth tasted like Campbell's chicken noodle soup broth. The won tons were tasteless. The interior carpet was red at one time, but is black now from wear and tear and grease. I do not recommend eating here. read more

Food - this is our go to for Chinese food. We've had various dishes since we frequent this establishment quite often and haven't really found a dish that hasn't been flavorful or bland or just too spicy with no taste. We tend to have leftovers because the plates are pretty large for one person. Service - when we do a sitdown visit we've never had an issue with service. Their owes on top with the order and personable. If we do an online order, it's always ready to go when they say to come pick it up within the time given. Ambiance - we normally don't have to wait when we visit. They seem to be quite busy. It's not a very loud restaurant with simple decorations. No frills we are OK with that as long as the food is great. read more

Best crab Rangoon I've ever had. Orange chicken average, not too much flavor and mushy.

I never take pictures of their food because I always finish it before I think of reviewing the spot. This place is great. They have a lunch special until 3 PM where you can get basically any entrée with chow mein and fried rice as well as a soup and the option of white rice if you want it. Service has always been really good whether it is for takeout or for dining there. The actual inside of the restaurant is very mellow very peaceful. Honestly, this is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember it's also my parents's favorite spot. If you get the chance, you should order the lunch special with the Kung pow chicken. I don't think you will be disappointed. Next time I go here I will make sure I take an actual picture and update my review. read more

Food is unappetizing, service is mediocre, but let me tell you, this place is packed with people coming and going. First time here and last time as well. A complete lack of flavor, the prawns tasted off, and it was not good at all! Update: my sister's stomach started hurting shortly. I think she's got food poisoning. read more

The food is so delicious, what a shame. The pork was all fat, more so than bacon. It tasted good so i kept eating it which led to my belly completely disagreeing with the contents. Maybe the chicken would have been a better choice. I don't know if i can give this place another try. read more

This is a simple, standard, no-frills, but good and enjoyable Chinese place in western Santa Rosa. Ambience is plain but they have some comfortable booths. Service is great, friendly and efficient. The food is good, enjoyable standrad American Chinese fare but done well. We've had General Chicken, with a nice sweet-spicy flavour, plenty of sauce, nicely cripsy (4); peas and mushrooms, a bit baldn but enjoyable for what it was (3); Szechuan beef (fried), which had good flavour and crispy texture (4); veggie chow mein, good with decent texture and some flavour, but not great and lacking in a truly nice, firm texture that holds up, but with plenty of vegetables (3.5); sauteed string beans, very nice with great texture and mildly spicy character (4.5). Portions are large for the prices, and there's plenty of meat and veg with the diches read more

Either this place has grown on me, my tastes have changed, or I can't remember why I gave it fewer stars six years ago. For so many reasons, China Garden is my #1 place to go! For Chinese food! It is not fancy. It is tucked in between a Mexican restaurant and a laundromat in the Oliver's marketplace. Interior is dated. Menu is typical. Service is always efficient and friendly. I go back-and-forth between a few different dishes but my favorites are the Hunan chicken with vegetables, moo shu pork, or Kung Pao prawns. Hot and sour soup is always on order. Hubby usually gets a bowl of Wor wonton soup and egg fried rice with an entree dish that is reminiscent of a major chain's #1 item - orange chicken. We always leave full and with to-go containers. read more

The food here was absolutely delicious it was my first time having their menu. The chow mein noodles are out of this world they are the freshest I've ever had! We also had the general tong chicken and the crab rangoons, all mouth-watering and tasty. If you are in this neighborhood it is definitely worth trying out! read more

Food is good and service is timely. Staff are accommodating and the restaurant is clean

this spot is your classic old school, authentic Chinese spot. The food is very authentic and always fills your Chinese takeout void. There may be alotta oil in the dishes, but there's also a lot of flavor. The portions they give are very generous and the cost is on the lower end. You can always expect a hearty and filling meal here. read more

Have a Chinese food craving? Here's the place on the SW side of Santa Rosa. I had the sesame chicken and a veggie egg roll. All good! Served pretty and hot and quick. Service was prompt and friendly. I took the Mongolian chicken and rice home. Rice does not automatically come with the meal. Plenty of good for 2-3 more meals for two people for $50 isn't bad. It's conveniently located near Oliver's. When you finish shopping, stop and get your fix. I plan to come back again, as ethnic foods other than Mexican are hard to come by where I live. read more

Great food for the value. Decent portion quantity that lasted for more than one meal for my daughter and I (Asian food always tastes better the next day). We ordered basic takeout items that were good and will try something more exotic next time. Friendly staff too. read more

Decided to order some takeout from here. So this review is solely about the food and not the service. It was really simple to call the restaurant and place my order via phone. I was able to request a certain time that I wanted the food picked up by so that it wouldn't get cold. I tried the Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, Vegetarian Chow Fun, Chicken Chow Fun, and Chicken Fried Rice. Every single item was delicious! All the flavors were super tasty and the portion sizes were really generous. This place is great value and I would definitely be getting food from here again. read more

Eek. I don't know how this has good reviews. $100 spent and nothing was good. No flavor to anything. My whole family was disappointed. Won't go back. read more
