Worth another visit. Friendly staff at the front desk. Ordered the shrimp lo mein and sweet and sour chicken. Both meals were tasty.

The food is great, always hits! Fair prices and good size. Restaurant is clean. Ready fairly quickly, My go to!

Convenient location for some fresh Chinese food. Quick and nice service. We enjoyed our food on both times we visited. We visit Legoland a few times a year and we always come here for our Chinese comfort meal. read more

The personal are professional and friendly. It's a family favorite dinner when no one feels like cooking. Prices are reasonable and most meals are enough for 2 people or leftovers the next day. read more

Better customer service , lady out front needs to stop talking loud, she takes your money, and doesn't say thank you

My wife and I had dinner here. The food on their American-Chinese menu was excellent. Service was great. We dined at one of their tables. While they concentrate more on carry-out, they have an area with tables and chairs. Nothing fancy, but large portions. We enjoyed the meal there and had enough to carry home for meals for each of us the next day. Considering this, we paid ~$28 including soft drinks for the equivalent of 4 meals. I see that as great value. (P.S. My wife is Chineese) read more

Amazing delicious food! Hard to find places where the food and hospitality is a like. Fast and good price !

Food is fresh and much better than any of the others I have tried. I eat there often. You can do take out, or eat in the restaurant, which is immaculate! The people are friendly. Orders are always right and ready when they tell you it will be. Delightful! read more

Cashier was patient and nice!! Food was good, and they're not stingy. Also the place was very clean.

This place is not only cheap but the food taste amazing. The service is also quick and efficient. The only con is that you can't eat inside the restaurant but that's the only one I can think of. read more

This is decent, strip mall, Chinese food place. We like to get takeout from here when we are staying in the area. The food is always tasty and the price is right. No frills, just what you'd expect from a strip mall Chinese food place. read more

cashier/order whatever you call her was very rude..we ordered and kind of stood there waiting, no sign saying not to stay after ordering.. we stood there for about 5 min, then she wanna turn to us and basically said to leave and come back in 10minutes.. and then asked if it was our first time there, definitely will not be going back read more

I've been a huge fan for years now. The general tso chicken is amazing. Fried rice is on point. Flavor and presentation are consistent. I will continue here for many years. Enjoy! read more

Ordered takeout several times. The egg rolls are great. Place is clean. The other items we ordered were also good, no complaints here. read more

Great food. Great service with a smile when place your orders they are always correct and there social distance practices are great in and out pandemic overall great place clean and perfect. read more

This used to be the best place for Chinese food, but not anymore. The egg rolls have very little taste, not even any protein in them. I had Cashew chicken, at least it said chicken. Not convinced! It was tough, chewy and not good cuts, IF it was chicken. Odd flavors for both egg rolls and chicken. Hubby had pork with veg's. Big chunks of veg's, pork was tender, but not much flavor. Very disappointed. No dining in, although there was family taking up two tables. Not many good Chinese places in East Polk. I'm done! read more

China Gardens is in the Publix parking lot just across the street from Legoland. It's moderately priced and, like most Chinese restaurants it has an extensive menu and all your favorites. We choose to dine in rather than take-away. While there, the phone seemed to ring often and there was a steady stream of customers picking up their orders. The dine-in area is rather spacious and nicely appointed for a strip mall restaurant. It was also spotlessly clean. Other than the phone ringing the area is relatively quiet and it's easy to carry on a conversation. Some soft traditional Chinese music in the background may enhance the overall ambiance. We had the house special Mei Fun and the Moo Shoo Pork. Both were very good, although my dining partner felt the server should have added the Moo Shoo's pork to the pancakes table side vs. just delivering both to the table. At this price point, however, it's reasonable to assume the customer will need to prepare them on their own. The service was adequate, not spectacular, but again it's give and take at this price point. In summary, nothing out of the ordinary, but worth the price and a visit. read more

They have tables but won't allow you to sit and eat. The staff is extremely rude. They wanted to sit in a corner on a computer so they were annoyed every time a customer comes in. And food was way overpriced. I'm not sure what changed from these old reviews but I won't be back. Food was decent. read more

I was with a group of four. We were seated and our orders taken promptly. Our dinners came promptly after we finished our egg roll appetizers. The egg rolls were excellent. I had Curry Chicken with fried rice. It was a stir fry dish cooked just right with a fair amount of heat to the curry seasoning. The vegetables were fried to a tender crisp with the right amount of crunch for me. I found the fried rice to be tasty, hot, and quality. Not minute rice that some places serve. My wife had the General Tso's Chicken. She thought the flavoring to be right, but it was not spicy hot as we expect. Serving size was just right. It is a small establishment, but looked very clean and neat, with what appeared to be fairly new tables and chairs. The couple we were with dine here often and recommend it, as do I. read more

This in Chinese take out with maybe 10 tables. This is not a buffet, you order, pay and your food is brought to you. My family loved this place. So I can only say.....Yay I'm a fan. read more

It's fast. It's comparatively cheap. And it's not the worst food out there. But if this place weren't located right across the street from work I'd never give it a second thought. The idea of making spicy Chinese food has never occurred to the owners, no matter how much I may beg, and it seems that I have to call 20+ minutes in advance in order to have my good ready when I arrive. All in all, you get what you pay for. If you're in the area to visit the park and want some good Asian cuisine, there's a hibachi restaurant two miles away, a Vietnamese place downtown and a nice place called Royal Asian Fusion nearby. Just keep looking, it's worth driving five more minutes. read more

Update..hmmmmm did you switch owners or cooks? last night was THE WORST ever. The egg rolls were dripping of oil. The chicken in sweet and sour chicken and Gen Taos tasted like grizzle. And why no white rice with sweet and sour chicken? And rude. Yes, you know you called me and rudely said no one picked up order 20 min after I placed it but you never gave me a time frame. rude. Bye. not going back. read more

order an hour before closing on a sunday night. order seafood delight. Qt of house special fried rice. and pepper steak with white rice. Seafood delight was anything but delightful. all (what there was of it) seafood way over cooked. shrimp was like eating rubber. the little 1/2 oz of lobster so over cooked would not pull out of shell even tried steak knife. no luck. just tore into shreds. most meat left in shell. so called crabmeat. was imitation.scallops only 1/4 inch thick. also chewed like rubber. fried rice burned could not even try it. the smell made you sick, pepper steak. ok except you got 3 times the pepper and onion to a piece of steak. white rice with pepper steak only thing worth eating. $38 buck thrown out the window. good thing for the owners i live to far away to take it back and throw this garbage on their kitchen floor where it belongs. read more

It may take a few extra mins to dine in... Very Very clean, Great Chinese food! The take out is always correct and stays hot for a good while. I've tried a lot of the menu and found that it all is great. read more

As you can see by my check-ins I've been here at least 11 times. It's one of the few places ne'er my job I like to go vaca use the options are limited. It's either this or another place I started to frequent if not those then it's fast food. I have to say for the area they have really good Chinese food. I'm addicted to their boneless rib lunch plate with fried rice and an egg roll. All their lunch menu plates come with fried rice and an egg roll. Great rice and a good egg roll. The boneless ribs are excellent and s pretty big portion. I've also had their bourbon chicken and it reminds me of being in the mall and grabbing one of those free samples. You know you do that too. Also had the pepper steak and it was very tasty and filling. Not but not least the sweet and sour chicken which is also real good. Golden and moist. This is a nice place to eat at its your typical take out menu but they do a fine job with the meals. For the area 4 stars for sure. read more

The best Chinese food I've had so far in Winter Haven (I've lived here for only three years). The General Tso's chicken is amazing, but be sure to ask for it extra hot if you like for it to be even moderately spicy! read more

My family has ordered food from here several times since we've into the neighborhood 3 months ago. My husband loves their boneless ribs. I think they make some of the best General Tso's chicken I've ever tasted. There fried rice is just ok. We've never eaten inside or explored their buffet but their prices seem fair. read more

My favorite chinese food in the area hands down. I travel often and pick this restaurant each time. The food is great, my favorite is general tsao. And the employees/owners are always very friendly. read more

Best Chinese food in town! The Sesame Chicken is very good and the white rice that they make is perfect.

Fried rice is great! Not dry as well as the sesame chicken a lot of flavor and juice ! Would refer a friend read more

I love me some Chinese takeout, and their food is pretty typical Chinese takeout cuisine, but on two separate occasions my wife and I had gotten food poisoning after eating here. After the second time we decided to get our Chinese takeout elsewhere. read more

Everything was very tasty!!! We got a free large Genera Sao for ordering more than $40 worth of food. They also gave us an extra shrimp fried rice. Everything was fresh and tasted home made instead of like cheap buffet food. The shrimp with lobster sauce was loaded with shrimp and even crab. The sesame seed chicken was perfect. Very happy! read more

Unfortunately this restaurant does not offer healthy options, I asked for brown rice and they said "fried" or white rice is all they have. The food taste as if it was prepared several days ago with the sauce (which I asked for on the side) heavily mixed in with the entree. They were also out of several of the dinner options on the menu when we called to place our order. So many restaurants now are offering healthier choices on their menus. I would highly suggest China Garden do the same if they want to stay in business much longer. read more

The food left a lot to be desired but the service was abysmal. After paying, we were told it was be 30 minutes. When inquiring about it at 45 minutes it was simply "still cooking". 3 others were waiting over an hour. When anyone pointed out time frames they just said "ok" and walked away. A phone order for soup was told it would still be a while after half hour. If it weren't for the revolving Legoland crowd, I can't imagine they would still be in business. read more

So I think the food is substandard. Not New York style as was stated in the menu. The place was not packed but it did have a line of seven people waiting for food for over an hour after placing their order. One of the customers waited for 45min for soup. Price was fine. If you really can not go anywhere else than you should block off some time (90min) to wait for your next meal. read more

A business should not be fronted and run by a grade school girl. I walked in and ordered for the family. Got home and saw it was wrong. Called. No apology from the girl. Drove back for correct order. I asked if there would be any credit. No. I was asked why would i want a credit? I said with a wry smile: If i need to explain it's too late". Next time i go somewhere else. read more
