I love their food and wish they were open for take out. I really hope they open on June 1, 2020 because I miss their food. I do not want the other Chinese places because this place makes it taste better without the headache. Love their egg rolls and cream cheese wantons. read more

The only have carry out. Their fried rice has a stale burnt taste to it. The entrée are vetable heavy and also taste like they are not freshly maid. Waited over 30 mins for my order and was very disappointed when I got home and the food was not good at all read more

It's the best Chinese food in Brainerd. With that said, it's not very good. I have to wait till I go down to the twin cities to get good Chinese. read more

I'm writing this review after only being here once while in town but we loved what we ordered: shrimp with broccoli, chicken egg fu young, and garlic sesame green beans. Portions were big enough for 3 meals. It's takeout only which worked just fine for us. We'd return when we're in town. read more

The worst Chinese food i have ever had. All Tasted like rancid grease. Smelled off when I went in the food tasted like the place smelled.

I ordered a larger shrimp with lobster sauce. There were eight small overcooked shrimp and I'm still gagging on the rice.

Out of the Chinese restaurants that are in Brainerd, this one is my favorite so far. I would recommend ordering off the menu and trying their wonton soup. We also ordered beef and pork with vegetables and the house fried rice, and it was delicious! We had plenty of leftovers to bring home and eat later at a great price. It's a must-try! read more

Ok, I can't say enough about this business and the owners. First, the food is incredible and is ALWAYS fresh. They will tell you "it's going to be about an hour." Well of corse it is! It's made from scratch, and cooked to order! I can't tell you how fresh and hot the food is when we get it... it usually isn't the full hour. The delivery drivers are always nice, and drive safely down our populated road. I'm so thankful for this place. When I forget to take something out for dinner, she always has my back! read more

Good for Brainerd, but that's not saying much. Good: Cream Cheese Puffs Chicken Teriyaki Sticks Bad: Moo-Shu Chicken Fried Rice If your in Brainerd, stick with "Brainerd food" and don't experiment with anything too ethnic, like Chinese. read more

We read the recent reviews saying the food was great so we decided to give it a try. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. We had four people and ordered 1 soup, 1 order of wontons, four meals, and hot tea. The hot tea was served in coffee mugs and tasted off. The soup didn't come until we were getting ready to leave. The wontons came out with two peoples meals and the other two meals came out about 5+ minutes later. The food had no flavor and there was way more celery than chicken in the cashew chicken and kung pao chicken. The cashew chicken had the cashews sprinkled on top which we had never seen before. The fried rice, wontons, and egg rolls all tasted off possibly from bad or old oil. We never saw the waitress after she brought our food to ask how things were or if we needed anything else. We were the only people dining in the restaurant and others were doing take out. Definitely won't be going back. Oh and the buffet was closed but there was still crusted food in all the trays. read more

Mongolian beef, wanton soup and two spring rolls. Good food, hit the spot of hunger. Ordered to take out.

This best take out Chinese food in the Brainerd Lakes area. It has a very good menu and the food is always fresh.

I will never go back. We went for lunch and had to ask for our tea 3 times .I ordered an appetizer and a meal off of the menu because the buffet had very little in it and my wife ordered off of the lunch menu . The tea came with my meal and I waited a about 3 min for hers to show up before we began .The app showed up half way through the meal . The house special rice was cold as was my meal . Only 3 tables with people at them . read more

Wonderful price for all the different items you can eat from. This is a very clean and comfortable place to eat. The food is always fresh and very delicious and it's very fun to try and get through the whole buffet to try everything that they have! I'd very much encourage everyone to try this place out. And the price is very very reasonable. read more

Amazing food, highly recommend the egg rolls! Best Chinese in the Brainerd Lakes Area. There was also a sweet and cute asian service boy :)

My husband and I order from here very often and our kids even love the food more than we do. We usually order the same thing, because we like it soooooooo much! I order the General Tso's Chicken, my husband orders Curry Chicken and my kids order the Sweet and Sour Chicken and they loooove the donuts. We have had it delivered, but most times we order it and then pick it up. This place always seems to be busy and there is usually a wait, but it is worth it because we really enjoy the food. The service is friendly, food is great and we will keep going back. This is the best in the area. read more

I order here very often the best items are the dinners and the appetizers are large portions the staff is nice and pleasent I love the shrimp dishes the best and the white rice is delicious easy parking in front and the best is they deliver city dwellers rejoice!! I have eaten in and out for many years at Diamond House, since they opened, yum!! The Brainerd- Baxter area has quality food my brother lives in Minneapolis and he loves the food here in this area. read more

I had the buffet which I could see. My wife had the veggie moo shu which was less than ideal. Kids had buffet $3 pretty cool plus drink I'll go with good for Brainerd Chloe S review probably right read more

I got there around 6:30 pm and was going to have the buffet. The buffet was less then to be desired, it didn't look fresh and a few items were empty. So I ordered two entrees to go. I ordered the Mongolian beef and general TSO chicken. I loved the chicken and the beef but the beef had a larger ration of veggies and hardly any beef. I also think if you order two entrees you should get to orders of rice not just one. Each entree says it gets rice. My over all experience is good and the employees were friendly. read more

I ordered a large delivery.. It was timely. once I recieved it I checked it over and something was missing. gave them a call back and they are excellent in their customer service.. They fixed the order right away. read more

The service was great and the food was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. It was very filling for a low cost.

Don't go here. Food is ok but usually during the buffet is a joke. They never refill the trays, I had lunch there yesterday and of the eight buffet items only three were available. After 30 minutes nothing was refilled despite requests. Owner is sweet but lack of food is ridiculous. read more

Walked in and all the workers were sitting in corners talking on their cellphones. They pointed for us to sit. I will say I have heard this is good Chinese food if you order out, or order off the menu sit-down, but the buffet was terrible. Everything was hard, cold, crusty, and empty! Not appealing at all. Not worth it if buffet is what you're looking for. read more

Ordered $80 of food for delivery at 5 to 6 p.m. and was told it would be an hour. Called at 5 after 7 to ask if it was enroute. No, it wasn't, but they were getting it out right now. It's about a 10 to 15 minute drive from there to my home. 40 minutes later the food finally arrived. What wasn't coagulated and half warm was obviously rewarmed in the microwave and was dry and hard inside. read more

At 2:30 PM on a Thursday, tried this place for the 1st-& last-time. Lone employee eating his lunch & texting. Tables not cleared from last lunch diners, many tables looked like they had not been wiped down; buffet still out (advert until 3:30)w/ little dabs of crusty leftover food in a cold steam table. (Side of salmonella, anyone?) Ordered "dinner" pricing take out of House Special Chow Mein, pork Egg Foo Yung, 2 egg rolls, Beef & Broccoli. $34+ At home, opened boxes to find: grossly over-heated egg rolls (dry, chewy, tasteless); Egg Foo Yung had no pork, was cooked on too cold plate so was dripping grease-scrambled eggs & rice-no spice. "Sauce" was in separate container (thank Fate for faint favors) with taste, texture & color of raw gravy and the tang of metal-immediately tossed. Chow Mein had miniscule shreds of dark meat, again no spice or texture. Beef & broccoli had lots of broccoli, some chewy pats of meat, again, no spice or texture. Even the fortune cookies were old, stale and chewy. Save your money and gas - eat a piece of dirty cardboard with soy sauce at your own home. read more

First off, the family who runs the place is wonderful. My wife likes the flavor of Diamond House better than China Garden, but she only eats two dishes. We have great luck here during a lunch time that's busy, but for supper it is a crapshoot for both dishes and freshness. If they only have one or two groups they will not put out fresh anything especially if it is later in the evening. China garden is a little more expensive and raises their prices during tourist time, but they have about three times the dishes. read more

I have been going there for many years and usually was satisfied. Last night however I brought some beef with snow peas home and became violently ill. I noticed when the cook walked out his apron was absolutely filthy. He should probably change it once in awhile or stop wiping his hand off on it all day. read more

This place does not even deserve one star. Upon entering the restaurant, the entry way was very dirty. I should have known to walk right back out the door at that point. The buffet is horrible, the food was not fresh at all, it looked like it had been sitting there all day and was dried out and most of the buffet food options were empty. I mentioned the to the host that most of the items in the buffet were empty. Eventually, the cook did come out and replace some (not all) of the empty menu items in the buffet, but to my surprise I watched him dump the fresh food on top of the old picked over, dried out food. Disgusting. Needless to say I won't go back. Nor would I recommend this place to anyone. How disappointing. read more

The service sucks, employees are either never to be found or they are sitting around screwing off on their phones. Once went for pick-up and waited almost 15 minutes for someone to notice I was standing there. But the food is amazing and that's why we keep going back for more. read more
