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.

Cathay Chinese Food - 2-item combo with BBQ Pork and Orange Chicken, Fried Rice, and Lo Mein

My fortune cookie was empty…read more The restaurant was also empty well after the lunch rush subsided. The place is stark bright and devoid of any designer charm or corporate branding. How refreshing! It's the make table that held all the interest. It was beautiful and well stocked. Each of the 2 dozen or so entrees looked wonderful. I needed to keep it simple and the lo mein was just right. The young lady that served me was kind and professional. Best Chinese in town??? No way, but it's good and I've heard from others it's great. But if your getting dinner they make it easy, the prices are great in this ultra casual take away eatery.

I was craving Chinese food after my facial & this eatery was nearby. Thankfully there was no line…read moreand only two of the indoor tables were occupied. I looked over the variety of dishes and settled on a 2 item combo with Hawaiian Chicken & Spicy Garlic Chicken along with half & half of rice & Lo Mein. The lady who fulfilled my order was cordial. Service was nice & quick. The interior is no frills with ceramic tile used as wainscoting adorned the wall. I couldn't help but notice that the wall tiles by my table needed a good scrubbing. There were telltale signs of splatter of sauces & meals gone by. Other than that, the interior was clean. They did have a young man cleaning tables in front of their eatery. He needs to come in & pay attention to the wall tiles I chose to eat indoors since it was too hot to sit outside. When I opened the box it was overflowing! The Hawaiian Chicken was very flavorful but the Spicy Garlic Chicken was neither spicy nor even a hint of garlic flavor. That was disappointing but the chicken was tender. Both the rice & noodles didn't have much seasoning but the Hawaiian Chicken complemented it. Overall, though not fancy nor the best Chinese food you do get a bang for your buck. It's a decent meal. Would I return? Most likely but not often.

I can't give enough positive feedback on how amazing our experience went tonight for dinner! It's a…read moresmall quaint restaurant where you're greeted upon entrance, seated immediately and taken care of right away. Drinks came out quick, appetizers came out as soon as we ordered them and our server was the most kindest person we've ever encountered. She was personable, knowledgeable of the menu, attentive to our kids & provided them with toys and stickers to keep them distracted from typical toddler things lol. She checked in with us, made sure our table was clean at all times, napkins always on hand and our drinks were always full. The food was made fresh to order, that Thai tea knocked my socks off, definitely steeped in house and not powder. The menu offered a huge variety of everything. The potstickers were crispy and the meat was tender. The chow mein was delicious paired with thinly sliced chicken with every bite. We left so happy with this experience & can't wait to go back! Thanks China Moon for making our Wednesday night outing wonderful.

Everything tasted bland or just plain BAD! As in expired, day old... as someone else mentioned, the noodles were grey and almost slimy, the crispy beef must have been shaved beef because there was no beef to be found, some pieces were just fried batter. They have a huge menu, but I would have preferred freshly prepared, tasty food. The service was friendly and pushy at the same time. There was only one other table being occupied, but the waitress came by way too much, taking plates - ordering us around. At least we had a good laugh and we donated the leftovers to a homeless man. It's too bad... this place is close to home, and we live Chinese, but I'm writing this review to remind myself to never go back.
