Food is very good, and their servings have more protein than that of the China Garden on N Tamiami (next to Publix).

Stopped by for a quick lunch good prices, good Chinese food good service. Small place that has mainly takeout. Several tables, you order at the counter. We enjoyed the Kung Pao Chicken and Szechuan beef lunches. read more

Finally found the best Chinese restaurant in Sarasota! Everything is freshly made with the best quality ingredients and plenty of meat and vegetables. Will recommend it to all my friends! read more

First and last. Part of the order was good, but the egg drop soup was terrible. I don't expect much from these places, cheap food, but I never had to throw away egg drop soup. It tasted like dirty unsalty water with a slight taste of cleaning chemical... Me and someone else got food poisoning, more than likely because of that soup. I had diarrhea and the other person turned totally red, difficulty breathing, nausea, chills, mild fever. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

Standard food It was my first visit and I was pleased to see they were not just a takeout / delivery place and had 4 tables for dining in. Floor to ceiling windows provided a natural light and a view of the outside but it did come at the cost of an uncomfortably warm place to sit. I ordered Sweet & Sour Pork, and I'm the first to admit that is not a very good choice to rate the quality of food, but I like that dish. What they made was very basic, very standard. Getting it as their lunch special also made it inexpensive, and that got them an extra star. My interactions were businesslike, and it looked like other customers that came in after me was also got that same type of service. They said it would take about 10 minutes and it only took 6, so that nice. The place itself was clean. Not the kind of place I would make a special trip to visit if there was another Chinese restaurant closer, but it was ok today. read more

China Garden - Sweet & Sour Pork - Chinese Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Ordered honey chicken combination with lo mein got sweet and sour with fried rice. The lady in the phone kept interrupting me and I had to tell her to hold on so I could finish ordering what I wanted. When I called to let them know about my order being wrong I spoke to 3 different people that claimed to be the manager . They wanted to just bring me sausage to throw on my chicken . Kept saying I didn't order lo mein with my honey chicken . All around it was extremely stressful and I ended up telling them to forget everything . The fried rice went into the garbage because we don't eat rice . And my small order of lo mein ended up going to my daughter so that she wasn't just left with eating chicken . I never had an issue before with this place so I hope no one else has the same issue or has to deal with the same stress I did . read more

Absolutely delicious! And they give you enough food that you will have enough for lunch the next day.

Food wasn't very good.....I was starving when we went there and ate half my food......almost barfed it...

Good basic Chinese food; generous portions and nice friendly staff. Sunday evening and a craving for Chinese so I tried their steamed dumplings and General Tao's chicken. Sauce on chicken was mild but with not enough zip. Again, portion size was generous so if you want basic quantity, try them. There are 4 tables inside to eat but consider them predominantly for takeout. read more

My coworker and I have order twice from this restaurant, we enjoyed our choices both times! Very fresh and tasty.

Worst Chinese in Sarasota driver delivered to wrong place I had to go pick it up and it gave me food poisoning

The food was amazing. I didn't expect that from a place this small. Service was good. It took a little while but that's because it was cooked to order. Completely worth it. Try the boneless ribs and the orange chicken. Best in Sarasota read more

Love their Veggie Lo Mein with extra Veggies always super fresh *****Always on time if not earlier than you expected.

A sort of hole in the wall place but good tasting food. I got a small chicken cashew and it was huge. Enough for lunch tomorrow! Had a few tables for eat in dining, friendly staff. read more

Average Chinese food but better than anything else down here outside the mid Atlantic and northeast states. Not very organized when it comes to taking orders and giving timeframe for pickup but very pleasant staff. Will go back. read more

Great food! The portions are huge, great service. Have been going there for years! Highly recommend the orange chicken and steamed dumplings. read more

I used to stop here on occasion because I do my laundry next door. The garlic chicken is pretty bland, egg rolls large but typical Chinese take-out, nothing special. Pork spare ribs can be good, but hit and miss on size of the order and if it gets overcooked. LoMein bland too. Servings are good size, but like I said, bland on the several items I've tried. The girl "working" at the counter is never friendly, and always on her computer. She shows zero interest in what you ask for, what you want, or when your order is done. The others in the kitchen always hard at work behind her, but never a hello, a thank you, a smile, nothing. After getting my order last time there, I paid and asked for 4-quarters back with some of my change. She said can't spare it - even though plenty in the drawer which I could plainly see. Really? "Can't spare a square"? LOL With so many Chinese take-out places to choose from, no need for me to eat here again. There are 3-other Chinese restaurants to choose from on my 4-mile drive home that are not only better in taste, they have friendly service, which means more to me that simple convenience. read more

I wish this place didn't have the same name as another Chinese restaurant nearby, because it makes it hard to search for them online, but they're wonderful. They're the only Chinese place that delivers to my campus (every other delivery place conveniently stops short of my college) and it's also absolutely delicious. I've never been to their location, only ordered over the phone, so I can only judge from that. Every time I order, they deliver within half an hour and are always happy to meet me at my dorm. The delivery person is always very nice, and has change on them so theres no awkward fumbling for bills. I always order the beef and broccoli with veggie fried rice, and good lord is that veggie fried rice something to die for. The vegetables taste fresh and are very crisp, and the flavors in them is to die for. The beef and broccoli is pretty good as well, but the beef is just a tad on the chewy side. Their egg rolls and spring rolls are pretty standard, nothing that blows my mind, but I'm happy to eat them. Will order again. read more

Very good and very affordable! Got 2 large meals, a large soup and appetizer for about 30$! Have plenty of leftovers!

This place is great. They are always friendly, fast delivery, great people. Kung pao is great! read more

I have been a fan of this place since my first week in Sarasota eating take-out in a motel room! I grew up in Seattle eating squid with chopsticks in Chinatown restaurants in elementary school. China Garden is Fast and tasty, with Online ordering, prompt delivery, and options for vegetarians and gluten-free folks. Now I've gotten my girlfriends hooked!! read more

Just not good! Stopped in to order lunch and while I was waiting for my take-out order I noticed the lack of cleanliness; tables & floors were quite dirty, and heavy plastic sheeting obscuring a view of the kitchen. When I got my order home the food was awful! Worst tofu I have ever eaten- soggy & devoid of flavor. I ordered General Tso's tofu and it contained only 3 pieces of broccoli, the rest was the subpar tofu. Spring roll was equally disappointing, no flavor and had a freezer burned taste. A complete waste of time and money, everything went right in the trash! I'm confused by the positive reviews of this establishment... read more

This is a very good restaurant, the crab rangoon is great as is the Mongolian beef, although one must ask them to spice it up.

Never eat here. Spent all night taking care of my son who got food poisoning last night from the pork fried rice. Fortune cookie say: You are about to call in sick! read more

Ordered about $50 of Chinese food and when delivered an item was wrong. Called to let them know they sent Orange Chicken and not Orange Beef. They told me I was wrong after I told them repeatedly it was definitely chicken. So here is my bad review. To be honest, the rest of the food tasted like garbage anyways and I would recommend any other restaurant. Here's a photo of their beef and you can decide if you want to try it (that's definitely chicken) read more

China Garden - a person's hand grabbing a piece of food - Chinese Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Best Chinese food I've had in a very very very long time - thoroughly enjoyed my dinner - love the ease of ordering online and the speediness of the delivery itself ! their food is just top-quality! read more

I've been here about 15 times so far for lunch in about 10 times for dinner. Good portion sizes and I love the fact that all the vegetables are fresh. Out of my 25 times I've been here I'm yet to have a bad experience. My meals always ready within 10 minutes and they've never messed up my order. And I love their moo goo gai pan. I also like that you can choose soup over an egg roll when you get the combination platter. I was in the restaurant when another Patron came in to complain that Rice was touching their chicken. It was absolutely absurd what the person wanted. To have rice not touch the chicken in their meal. I thought the owners handled the situation very well even though the patron was being, frankly, an idiot. read more

Ate here once. Never again. Everything tasted old, reheated, overcooked, bland and disgusting. Restaurants should understand that the food they offer must be superior in taste and quality to anything customers can buy at their nearby supermarket and prepare at home. Restaurants are there to restore us, not abuse our wallets - they should nourish us, not infuriate us. Why pay $20 to get punched in the gut? I bet I can hire my neighbor to kick me in the belly for $5 which would be preferable to eating here again. read more

Average Chinese. Average pricing...even the extra spicy was not spicy at all (too me). I rarely get Chinese may once a year...all stuff here in Sarasota is sub-par to average...nothing to rave about, rather have some on a NYC trip. read more

I still love China Garden's food, but their "Beyond Menu" app for deliveries was not efficient this evening!

I normally order from the China garden near down town but I was curious about this restaurant and if the quality would be the same. I order my normal chicken wings with rice and it was almost $9 with 5 wings. Seems like a fair deal until I saw they were 5 individual wings instead of the normal 4 full wing and drumstick that I normally get for $6.75. Would never recommend to anyone. read more

As far as neighborhood American style chinese food goes, your in the right spot. I have a picky opinion on crab Rangoon as I worked in a Chinese restaurant for my first job. Mr Lee literally made the best crab Rangoon ever, you just won't understand. So as far as China gardens crab goes, slightly above average. Everything else is good. It is your standard pork fried rice, lo mein, and generals chicken type place. It is priced right, fast and clean. I've been getting delivery from here for years and I really like the kid who does it. He is friendly and prompt. The girls up front are nice and professional. If you are doing your laundry next door or just want some good old Asian American comfort food, it is worth a try. read more

Searching for a place in Sarasota with good Asian food, this won't be a top contender. Food seemed dry and overcooked. I always look forward to leftovers but not here. read more

Amazing Chinese take out! Friendly staff, wonderful food, excellent prices. You can't ask for much more. This is our go-to place when we're craving good Chinese. read more

Fairly standard Chinese take-out at first appearances, but consistently great, tasty food, large portions, excellent consistency, and quick service once you get to know them. I've been going for years. read more

Pretty standard Chinese delivery. Plenty of menu items to choose from - most offered LG or SM. Delivery was prompt & the order was 100% accurate. This isn't gourmet by any stretch but it's tasty, consistent, and reasonable. You get what you pay for here, and they charged less than $2 to deliver! read more

I enjoyed the food here, but the prices were a bit steeper than they should be. I will eat here again, but will try others first because of the price. read more

hole in the wall chinese that every other city but Sarasota has in abundance. cheap and fast. i would only do take out, it's not a pretty picture inside. i just don't get why they don't do brown rice though. doesn't every chinese take out do brown rice?! i've only had the beef and broccoli and for 6 bucks it works. read more

I'm not a big fan of every chinese restaurant on the corner but I like this place...the people are nice and friendly. Owned and operated by a small family. The mom and dad work very hard and the daughters help after school. The food is very cheap and good. This is a place to eat when you want to save a few bucks and still have a nice meal. read more

So damned good! Fast delivery GREAT pricing. Food quality great. Staff great nothing I can find wrong. Awesome 1st experience will definitely be a regular here! Ordered combo platters sweet and sour chicken and Mongolian chicken spicy plus egg rolls and fried dumplings. Cooked to perfection... Tasty fresh and the pork fried rice that is a part of the platters DID NOT give any indicators of being bad or giving a hint of food poisoning so don't pay any attention to the earlier reviewer. It's easy to blame a child getting sick on almost anything and while I sympathize I'd bet the kid gets sick at McDonald's more often than once and THAT food is as unhealthy as it gets especially when the soda he probably drinks is factored in. Let's just say that her begging people not to eat here was ridiculous especially without a doctor confirming it. But I support the 1st amendment right to speak your mind and be wrong; so review on, Ms "sour grapes" . I love the place and hope that you all will try it! read more
