My go-to Chinese food place in Poughkeepsie. I especially like the sweet donuts. I can't believe they deliver all the way out to my house in pleasant valley and very promptly. On the phone they are patient and informative. They've been working hard forever to serve us the good Chinese food in the area. I also asked them to include chop sticks in the delivery and they went the extra mile and included plates and forks without me asking. read more

I'm assuming that this development is under new owners or something. This was my favorite Chinese spot it was a staple in my house. And then one day everything switched the way the food was made, the taste, and the appeal even. It doesn't look edible at times and really doesn't taste as good as they used to. The service is fine but the food is absolutely not it. read more

Absolute worst experience I have ever had with a restaurant. There were whole items missing as well as ingredients missing from each of our dishes and they then proceeded to fight on the phone with me because they refused to give me a refund for at least $25 worth of missing foods. Do not give them your patronage, they are unkind, unprofessional, and their food isnt good either. read more

I tried here, since it looked interesting, and the food pictures on the page looked amazing. First I will say the parking lot to get here sucks, literally barely any space to park. The service was pretty quick between ordering and getting the food, and was thanked. The beef and crabmeat in garlic sauce was very good, did not think that was great combo, but the beef and crabmeat were pretty good, cooked just right and the sauce bathed them well. The veggies were of same quality although wish I had more broccoli than onions. White rice was great, not mushy and not dried out. Now the Korean spicy house noodle soup, sorry that sucked, to start, should been a thinner noodles, since the larger ones get gummy in texture and honestly it weak in the spicy department, plus definitely more cabbage than actually any meat. Half the meal was great though so I know don't go outside the Chinese section to the Korean one. read more

East Garden - Spicy Korean noodles and beef and crabmeat garlic sauce - Chinese Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

According to their health depth visit. They found evidence of insects & rodents. In addition to the subhuman conditions of stored food

Food was OK but given that I'm such a picky eater and a person when I placed my orders, they really did not follow the instructions the way I asked them to, but it was all right not much to say here read more

The food was horrible. I bought their General Tso's chicken and the breaded chicken pieces were so tuff it felt like tuff strings of sinewy meat, like an old roosters foot they breaded and threw in the pot. Disgusting!! Sadly I bought this dish through DoorDash and paid wayyyy too much in addition to purchasing a dish with inferior quality meat used. Never again!! Don't bother with east garden. read more

Got my order wrong and they over charge ridiculously. Straight robbery!!! Food tastes decent but not worth the price. Never going back! Do not recommend! read more

So rude! Went in and the cashier complained that a Mexican restaurant overcharges HER and continued to charge me for food I've ordered in the past and I could tell she overcharged me. Me and my family always get food from this place usually on Sundays and spend way less than I was charged. The fact that she complained to me about her restaurant experience... why is it my fault? Just because I'm Hispanic, make it make sense, never going back again, after arguing and showing her my math from THEIR MENU even with 10% taxes it was way over. Absolute worst experience and horrible environment. read more

Chef's special Golden Five Spice Chicken tasted like nothing and feels like it was dumped out of a microwave bag full of shitty fillers. Fucked up to charge nearly $20 for this garbage. Place is going down hill fast. read more

I ordered a small shrimp fried rice, small veggie stir fry, and shrimp roll. the order was wrong, I was overcharged, and my food was horrible!! read more

Food was hot and well prepared, but both types of large ribs have been reduced in size by a third, in addition to a rise in the price. Either that or they cheated me. Other establishments offer similar fare at better value for the money, so I don't recommend these dudes. read more

I have never in my life have ever delt with such a unprofessional restaurant. We called today to have food delivered and they said sorry to far. We live 6 miles from the place and she did to far. I told her we were having food delivered for the past 1.5 years with success and tonight she said sorry we don't deliever there. She was screaming at me and hung up. Then I called back and now the story changed, she didn't have enough drivers and hang up. I asked to speak to the owner and she hung up. She told me my order was 53.00 when the menu said total of 32.00. Seriously what is wrong sith this world. She lost me business read more

The best Chinese food on Main Street in Poughkeepsie. When I order vegetable fried rice and I see fresh veggies that aren't soggy that is a winner for me! I've been eating here for years and will continue as long as they keep doing what they're doing. The restaurant is always clean and you can see everyone cooking in the back! read more

Very Rude People runs this place. There are times when the woman on the phone will just hangup. When you ask a question, she will talk to you as if you're stupid. The food is okay but if you had 1 thing you need to change, you will get attacked on the phone. We ordered the combination platter and it comes with Fried Rice and General Chicken. The lady gave me noodles, and charge me for the noodles. I clearly told them I Fried Rice and it sounds nothing like Noodles so I don't know how can she make that mistake. They didn't want to change it and just say just don't come back! I hope this place close again and for good! They don't deserve anyones business. read more

I've been to many Chinese take-outs in my day and East Garden is a really good place to get food. It many scare some because it's smack dab in the middle of Main St. in Poughkeepsie. Anyone that knows the area has no cases of disillusion here. East Garden is very clean. It actually is comfortable eating there, which most Chinese take-out places are not. The menu is pretty standard when it comes to take-out. They do have an AMAZING Roast Pork w. Szechuan Pickled Cabbage soup that is really off the charts. It is the first Chinese restaurant outside of Chinatown I've been to that actually serves that soup. They also have Ginger Beef and War Shu Duck (something else Hudson Valley Chinese spots usually do not have). I will definitely be coming back here...the Pork & Cabbage soup alone is worth it for me. read more

Sometimes you just need a solid go-to for that rainy weeknight. Some place that remembers your address and your favorite orders. Well look no further, because East Garden is that place. The food is always really good, and the price is right where it should be for Chinese food. Only reason why it's not getting five stars is that (as others have mentioned) sometimes the delivery takes a while, sometimes over 45 minutes. But I do believe that is just because they do so much business! Maybe it's time to hire another delivery driver? Anyway the food is really good. We've had the sesame chicken, general tso's chicken, boneless spare ribs, chicken and broccoli, and that's all done right. The egg rolls are very tasty and not overly oily like many other restaurants. I've also had the crab Rangoon and those were really good too. if your in Poughkeepsie, you won't find a better Chinese delivery option! read more

Its a small takeout Chinese restaurant. Prices are very reasonable. The reason to give 3 stars is because like most of the people stated here, general tso's chicken is really good. The problem is that i ordered kungpao chicken but i still got general tso's chicken remade into kungpao. The vegetable lo mien had some sort of bone so i was disappointed and threw it. Order general tso's chicken here and stay happy read more

Delicious Chinese food, clean restaurant, and very friendly staff. Will be ordering again!

my fiancé and I always order from east garden for delivery because they have the best Chinese food in close range of us. When the food was delivery to my house part of my order wrong. I called to tell them, to see if they would send what I actually order to me. Immediately the woman on the phone was very disrespectful. Started to verbally assaulting at me about their mistake. meanwhile I was still calm because things like this happen with mistakes in the food industry. I use to work in food places when I was younger, accidents happen. She was screaming I didn't order what I said I order when I in fact did. I don't eat certain fried foods because greasy foods hurt my stomach. I order from them about once a week and they will no longer be receiving any orders from me. I was a very loyal customer and was treated very poorly at their mistake. I wasn't rude or came out of place at all. I only gave them a 1 star because their food is delicious. But if they don't have good customer service and be respectful to customers that are being respectful to them in a not so pleasant situation I don't want to do any time of business with them. There's actions are very distasteful. read more

Worst service ! The staff is rude, screams and hangs up on you. Dont recommend, there's a lot more restaurants with better food, and customer service that makes you feel comfortable, not like your walking on eggshells. read more

The driver was unhelpful. Literally called us 15mins before he arrived there. Made us waited outside in the cold weather for 15mins. MAD

I love this place!!! Food is always good. It started raining one day when I was picking up take out and they even walked me to my car with an umbrella! read more

Waitd an hour and a half for delivery of cold food. Called after an hour was told it was on the way and i live 3 mins from restaurant. I called to complain and was told just nevwr to order from them again. Ahe also said food shouldnt be cold was made 20 mins ago. So wasnt even cooked after the first hour . I wouldve picked up if i was made aware read more

I've tried almost every Chinese food restaurant in the area and I can say without a doubt that East Garden is one of the worst. The General Tso's chicken was practically inedible, the sauce was bland and too sour, and the broccoli tasted old. We also ordered Sesame chicken, which, if I had tasted it blindfolded I would have sworn it was just the General Tso's again. The only reason I decided on two stars rather than one is because the Crab Rangoon weren't the worst and they threw in a free bottle of soda. After finishing (and by finishing I mean putting it in the fridge just in case I'm desperate later on), I'm left wondering if the free soda was a generous gift, or a reason to not call and complain. read more

Was looking for a new Chinese restaurant and we found it. The food is awesome and not greasy. So glad I checked Yelp and found them. Now we can order Chinese again!!! read more

We have been longtime loyal fans of Chan's Peking at their two locations but when we received the flyer for this Chinese alternative and it mentioned delivery, we thought we'd give it a try especially since they also advertised Szechuan dishes. We phoned in the order and were told that the wait would be 40 minutes, not unreasonable for a busy Saturday night given the place was a mile or so away. After two more phone calls to the clearly harassed manager and a 90 minute wait (really unconscionable for what should be fast food) the smiling delivery man arrived to a snarling reception. I hate to descend to the level of revenge reviews but if you are going out of your way to advertise the delivery feature you have to d-e-l-i-v-e-r! It's really bad judgment. Curiously, the food was not stone cold on arrival which somehow indicates to me that it was not even prepared by the time of the first follow-up call. If you wish to dine on their food by all means get off your chair and pick it up--the alternative is masochistic. Oh well, all of that notwithstanding the food, the food, the food. You would think even mediocre (what we were expecting) American Chinese would taste like ambrosia to the starving but, not so fast. There was nothing remotely close to Szechuan flavors in those dishes--it was a false hope on our part. The sesame noodles proudly proclaimed themselves to be so-so and the wonton soup was free (reviewing etiquette prohibits carping about the quality of free stuff)! And really the best part was the cascade of plastic condiment packs that fell out of the bag--how lucky can you get! We're saving them to hand out at Halloween. read more

I am giving it a 4.9 The food was very délicieux (delicious) and good portion. It was my first time ordering from there, best take out so far in the region. HIghly recommended : :) read more

Still loving East Garden. Had bone in ribs last night and they were very good. Always happy with the food there.

Even though the food is pretty good there delivery is horrible. I ordered food told 45 mins 75 mins later it arrives and cold. They now charge delivery fee Don't order delivery. Do the take out read more

They are quite rude there, the food had little flavor and was quite expensive. We won't be returning..

Really solid place. Cheap, pretty reliable delivery, and good food. You really can't go wrong. I've eaten here probably 20 times and every time it's been great. read more

Absolutely love the lomien here and the dumplings are fried just right. It's a must try if your you're looking for something quick simple and delicious!!!! read more

Ive tried all the Chinese places in Poughkeepsie and theirs is the best by far. Love everything I've tried so far, from their soups to things like Hunan Chicken, Shrimp wth Veggies, dumplings, etc... But what strikes me the most, which is why I'm written this review (incidentally as I wait for my order to be delivered), is how friendly they are when you call and when the delivery guys arrives. Always saying "thank you very much." Try them and see what I mean. 3+ years later and it's still the same quality so I'm sure you'll experience it as well. read more

Since another Chinese Restaurant closed in the area, I have been going to East Garden and I find the service is friendly and fast! The food is great! The kitchen and restaurant is "very clean" in appearance and that is very important to me. The cooks and staff are busy but still very friendly. We will stick with them as anything else I tried in area leaves something to be desired....Thank you East Garden!!!! Love my chicken with mixed vegetables amongst many other good choices. My husband loves their food too and he can be very picky! read more

We always order from here, they are close by, fast delivery, food quality is awesome,price is right,
