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.

The staff…read morewere very friendly however I didn't care for the seating arrangement the hostess was seating us in. There was a ton of seating in the restaurant and she was sitting us right next to everyone. We requested to not be sitting right next to someone and practically be part of their conversation when theres a ton of open seats. Then when we got sat away from everyone, she sat a party right next to us. Again when open seating elsewhere. Just didn't make sense to me. Our server was great though! We ordered the pb and j wings to start which were phenomenal! Then my partner ordered the berry cobbler french toast. I ordered the cavatelli pasta. It was to die for. The sauce, the sausage, the tomatoes how the flavors blended. Everything just melted in your mouth. Highly recommend this place for brunch or for dinner. The menu is so good. Everything you order you can't go wrong. Will definitely be back!

It's in a shopping center with a big red sign on the outside, once inside the ambiance was very chill and the bar was inviting. We did decide to sit at the bar and were greeted right away by the bartender. He gave us drink and food menus and I went with the cucumber fizzle which was right up my alley. My husband had one of there creative Old fashions and he really enjoyed his drink as well. We started with the Caviar Bites and Calamari, probably the best calamari I have had in quite a while. We also ordered the cavatelli mac and cheese which was very flavorful with the shishito pepper and parm and lastly we also had the Korean wings which were very meaty and full of flavor. I think that is something that stands out here is how much great flavors are packed in there dishes. The entire staff was friendly and the Chef was also very welcoming. Great food and drinks not to be missed here.

I do appreciate a cook that can make over easy eggs just as I like them so I was glad about that but I'm going to be honest when I say that my chilaquiles were seriously lacking in flavor and spice, so I was sadly disappointed. My husband said his carne asada was good but that his chilaquiles were bland and definitely not spicy at all. Although he did enjoy their beans. I would have told them I didn't enjoy my but unfortunately after we were served our waitress never returned to check on us or refill our water. This was our second time here, we'd tried it once before and the food was decent that trip. We plan on giving it another try as we saw they had a good variety for mariscos, but yeah don't bother disappointing yourself with the chilaquiles. ‍

I'm a big fan of their daily specials before 2 PM, especially the $14.99 lunch deal. The grilled BBQ chicken is delicious, and I highly recommend getting the baked potato as one of your two sides. Just add some extra butter and yum, yum, YUM! Their chili is also absolutely awesome! The service has been consistently great every time I've visited. I've had several different servers over the past year, and I honestly have no complaints. Everyone has been friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. I also LOVE their online waitlist option! It's such a helpful feature and definitely makes the wait a little less painful. Another fun thing about Texas Roadhouse is their birthday celebrations. Hearing the whole restaurant join in to sing "Happy Birthday" and watching the birthday person hop on that little saddle is always entertaining. Who doesn't love a little birthday embarrassment? Overall, Texas Roadhouse is one of my favorite spots for tasty food, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for an affordable lunch special, craving their amazing chili, or celebrating a birthday, it's definitely worth checking out. I'll happily keep coming back!

He decided to give me the gift card this evening to enjoy a nice meal as our kiddos were at their grandparents and he was working. I ordered a $30+ meal the 6oz sirloin + shrimp and two sides. I got it to go so I could enjoy it at home. While I was waiting (I had arrived very close to the pickup time), I noticed an employee standing next to the driver's side of a car talking to the driver, who appeared to be an acquaintance. I could clearly overhear the conversation, and the employee was saying things that I found completely inappropriate to be discussing while standing right in front of the restaurant, even if it was technically in the parking lot. Two minutes before my pickup time, I went to the to-go window and received my food. When I got home, I realized my rolls didn't include the house butter. Whatever! It's not the end of the world. But worth noting as you would think this would be standard to provide. What became really problematic was the meal itself. I ordered my steak well done, but it arrived bleeding and wasn't even close to medium well. Why ask how I want my steak cooked if you aren't going to cook it that way? The shrimp was cold and incredibly salty. The potato? How do you get a potato wrong? Well, somehow they managed...it was stale and overly salty too. The broccoli I don't even think was steamed for more than a minute before you gave it "seasoning". The entire meal was awful and for $30?! Hahahaha I guess really the joke was on me for paying such an absurd amount but I really was expecting some quality somewhere. It just wasn't there all at. We still have money left on our gift card, but we'll be giving it away because we won't be coming back. I didn't even bother calling to complain because, judging by the quality of the food, I don't think a complaint would make any difference. I added a photo of my "well done steak".

Since I don't eat fish, I was a bit nervous to try this place, but I took a chance and was thrilled to find a chicken option. I ordered the Chicken Yakitori, which comes with two perfectly cooked chicken skewers on warm rice, topped with onion chives, sesame seeds, and avocado.

The employee who helped me-- I believe their name was Kyler -- was incredibly friendly and had such a great vibe. They didn't just connect with me, but with other customers as well. They answered all my questions and gave great suggestions on food combinations and ingredients. As for the food, the price is definitely on the higher side, but considering it's a smaller town and there aren't many poke options nearby, it feels somewhat justified compared to driving farther out. The portion sizes were great, especially the protein. I got salmon and shrimp with a medium spice level, plus avocado, furikake, green onion, onion, and cucumber. It was simple but really good. Their topping options are a bit limited compared to other poke spots, but they cover the basics that most people usually get anyway. Most importantly, they are not skimpy with the protein, which I really appreciated. The inside was very clean, well-kept, and welcoming. They also carry a variety of Hawaiian Sun drinks (my favorite!) and even sell Dole Whip, which I didn't try this time but definitely will next visit. Overall, it was a great experience and the poke was delicious. I'll definitely be back!
