Chicken and beef and plain noodles
Jayce M.

There's nobody here . It's April 18th at 7pm Should I be concerned? I'm waiting for this food as I type away. My total was over $50 not including drink. I'm typing and gonna send the food photos to show y'all. I read the reviews before I got here. For now, the service is okay. The girl at the counter seems okay. She has a raspy voice but is okay. I mean she is getting orders for pick up. Okay got my food. The flavor is kind of bland, I added a lot of hot sauce. I'm gonna give 3 stars because I think I will come back. see photos . I'm gonna eat it because I'm hungry. I have leftovers for breakfast lunch and dinner now lol This is a lot. Anyone wanna join me ?

Horrible. No flavor. Worst Chinese food. Will never eat here again.. fried rice was dry no flavor , orange chicken plain , also seemed to be microwaved. Do not recommend eating here. You're Better off spending your money at Panda Express.

LOL.  How true.

China Garden has gone through many iterations over the years, but the food is good. Clearly this is a small family run operation, with the hostess up front, who also doubled as our server and also runs to the kitchen to get the Take-Out, while answering the phones. She easily put on 5K in steps, while we were sitting here. It was just incredible to watch. But the key here is the food and to a lesser extent the service. Some of the reviewers seem to miss that and took exception to this incredibly hard working owner. We went with the Fried Pork Dumplings, Chicken Cashew and General Tso's Chicken (photos). The General was clearly the best. The surprise was the gift of some Egg Drop Soup, which came with our meal. Nice!! Three and a Half Stars "A-Okay", rounded up to Four Stars.

Spicy 13. Crispy Beef Hot Sauce amazing
Karen R.

We came in for lunch around 2pm today and were Sat immediately. Ordered 2 lunch specials that came with egg drop soup for 7.95 which is more than reasonable. The food was so fresh and amazing we were truly blown away. The crispy beef was so tender and my husbands general chicken tsaos chicken was crispy and yummy too. The inside was calm, not hectic at all and seating options for boothes or tables. Oh the little crispy noodles they bring you for free in the beginning are so very yummy - thank you

This place has been on and off my radar now for the entire 18 months I have lived so close. A new Thai and a new Korean place recently opened in the same downtown area, and I haven't been compelled to try either of them yet as well. Hungry and heavy rain lured me in even though I had a big bag of fresh groceries, and I can cook like the wind. I really just wanted a big bowl of hot and sour soup but opted for a combination appetizer platter. Fried shrimp, Egg rolls, Paper chicken, Crab ragoons and both steak and chicken skewers served in a large sectioned out wood serving bowl with a flaming cauldron in the center. It wasn't bad, and that beat expectations. I would have liked more sweet n sour sauce over the larger than necessary brown sauce. The place isn't much to look at as the hostess desk is basically a box with glass and stuff everywhere, the dining room ultra-bright and the tables sparsely topped. Service was nonexistent, a gesture to sit where I liked, a quick order, and food unceremoniously dropped at the table until the end when my server came out into the rain and called out to me because I had left something behind. Pro move and let me to believe the service thing was more of a language thing. Would I go back- probably and sooner than the 18 months it took for my first try.

1. Egg Roll
Tania T.

We ordered egg rolls, Orange Chicken, and black pepper beef. The order came with fried rice. I called in the order for delivery. The service is what you expect in any chinese restaurant. Lol, non existant basically, but that's normal. For a restaurant, the quality of the food is what you expect from a takeout, not restaurants. The best thing about our order was the crispy egg rolls. The orange chicken wasn't crispy, and some pieces were really dry. The black pepper beef looked promising, but once we dig in, we find a lot more onions than beef. And this was a chef's specialty. The fried rice was good with both items. Can't say much about the ambiance of the place since we had the order to go. We may try other items, but we'll see.

Pan-fried Noodles! A classic!
Michael A.

I just want to preface this by saying I do have quite a bit of bias towards this place since I used to have lunch here quite often when I was younger. This place used to have a massive silver arowana tank which was amazing for a kid my age, but it has changed ownership a few times since then. What I can say is that the pan fried noodles are still absolutely amazing. I want to mention that this is less of a bistro restaurant, and more of a home-style flavor, so don't expect any incredibly powerful flavors, instead, enjoy the subtlety and nuance. If you sit down to dine, and they have been doing this for over twenty years now, you get a complimentary bowl of egg-drop soup and these little crispy noodles with a sweet sauce.

China Garden is in our neighborhood. We been there numerous times for take out. The food is always tasty and plenty for two people. The owners are always very nice. We will certainly go back for more.

It would be good to have some clear directions on the website regarding the location. Inside the restaurant was clean and pleasant. I was immediately greeted when I entered and the order was ready so there was no wait. The 2-star rating is due to the food and the price of the food, as well as the plating of the food. We ordered an order of yellow curry with white rice and the spicy Thai basil chicken with white rice. Both were ordered as entrees and were $17 each. The curry was delicious and portion was as expected. The Thai basil chicken dish left a lot to be desired. Not only was it plated together (like a lunch portion option), but for what was provided, we expected to get more for the price. They combined the Thai basil chicken and the rice in the same dish along with a few cucumbers and there just wasn't much in the container. In addition, because they plated the rice with the chicken, all of the sauce from the chicken was soaked up by the rice, which in turn made the chicken seem extremely dry. We have ordered this same dish from various places from San Diego to Riverside and have never had the rice automaticalllu combined with the chicken. Based on what was provided, the cost should have been around $10 or similar to a lunch special since that is basically what was provided. Pic shows the combined bowl minus the two cucumber slices that were there as a filler. And the rice moved around to look for any extra juice.

Needless to say, Adrian at Panera was amazing and I appreciate such excellent customer service! Thank you, Adrian!

The young employee who handed me my order was unfriendly from start to finish. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted with a simple "Good morning." Despite me smiling, being polite, and thanking her when I picked up my order, she never smiled once, avoided eye contact, and responded with nothing more than an indifferent "uh-huh." I understand everyone has bad days, but basic courtesy and professionalism are part of working in customer service. A friendly greeting, eye contact, and acknowledging a customer's thanks are the bare minimum, especially for someone spending $75 on an order. Panera should do a better job training employees on customer service or be more selective in who they hire for customer-facing positions. Experiences like this make customers feel unwelcome and less likely to return.

I must WARN everyone that she's very hard to please when it comes to Thai food... FRIED MUSSELS: 10/10 Star of the show! It arrived on a sizzling plate. The mussels were not chewy and the crunchiness of the batter was perfect. Her home made sauce was so delicious!! Better than Sriracha sauce!! I would buy a whole JAR of it!!! CRISPY RICE SALAD (Thai Version): 9/10 It was fresh, flavorful and just delicious! The Thai version comes with Fermented pork (Aka NAM) so this dish is also called NAM SOD KHAO TOD... SUKI YAK (Dry version): 8/10 Very flavorful and spicy but, at just the right amount. It came with shrimp, calamari, chicken and veggies. It was so good but, I think I would prefer the sauce on the side next time because stir frying the sauce with the noodles made it wet... TOGO ORDERS... TOFU SPRING ROLLS: 10/10 The tofu was meaty and soft. It came with 2 kinds of sauce. One was a sweet teriyaki sauce and the other one was a satay peanut sauce! I want more please!!

We got to meet the chef, who is also the owner, and she was incredibly sweet. She has been cooking since she was 9 years old and is so talented. We learned that Melody Thai has karaoke nights on wednesdays and they sometimes offer dinner buffets as well, with all of the food made fresh. Highly recommend this place if you're in town!

As a huge fan of the Menifee location's excellent food and service, I was really excited when I saw this place.

The staff was really nice and I loved the interior. It had a modern feel that made the restaurant feel really nice and welcoming. The food was delicious. I ordered the ramen, which was well seasoned and tasted authentic. It might be a little too salty for some people, but it was perfect for me. The meat was probably my least favorite part. The meat was dry, chewy, and tasted gross. However, the rest of the ramen bowl tasted great. We also ordered the Sweetheart Sushi, which was so cute. I loved that the sushi was arranged in a heart shape and the presentation was really nice. It tasted delicious and I would definitely order it again. We also got a bento box, which came with plenty of food. The miso soup that came with it was also really good and well made. It is hard to go wrong with miso soup, but some places have a very weak fish broth base, so I appreciated that this one had good flavor. Overall, I think this is a great place to eat in Perris, especially since a lot of the restaurants in the area are chains. It is nice to have a local spot with good food and a menu with some variety. I would definitely come back.
