Garden Wok - Chinese Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Yelp says "Garden Wok is trending. Find out why." We don't need Yelp to tell us, we know why! Great selection, generous servings and always delicious. When family comes over for dinner we set up our own Chinese Buffet. Plenty of choices and less expensive than taking them all out to dinner. On weekends we order enough to cover dinner and a couple lunches. We've never been disappointed with the quality. Also parking is always available. Try it! read more

The food is EXCELLENT! The owner (service) is always good! . Good portion size! The buffet style lunch was really a good deal

Just had them today, been eating here for over 20 years, never again. Must have a new cook or something burnt our fried rice, I opened my meal and immediately smelt something that smelled like cigarettes, upon inspecting our other meals rice we found the pork pieces were burnt/charred and that carried over into the rice. They probably made the whole batch of rice for our family's order then the burnt flavor carried into most of it. Then they mis-made the order and made the wrong entree spicy. Had a issue in the past too where they short changed my father he gave them a bigger bill and they tried to claim he didn't and gave him less change. Stay away theres plenty of other places to go to in the area, New China on the south side and there's golden dragons around. read more

Garden Wok - Burnt fried rice - Chinese Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

The ambience is a typical carryout Chinese restaurant. You go up to the counter in order so service is quick. I ordered the garlic chicken, special lo mein and the wonton soup . The garlic chicken was awesome. The rest was barely edible! I gave it two stars because the garlic chicken was so good! read more

Fire food, customer service is excellent and worth going back. The spot itself is very simple and easy to understand, very clean and tidy place. read more

Reasonable prices and good food! The service was fast, and lots of customers seemed happy to be there.

Not a buffet 10 best Chinese Buffets in South Bend is wrong. Restaurant is about 15x15 definitely not for a group.

The only Chinese place I go. The food is always excellent. The lady that owns it is always very friendly with me and my mom and brother, as is the few people that work with her. Go get some good food at Garden Wok read more

This is my husband's favorite spot, he likes the fried rice and chicken wings. I really like the wonton soup and my kids like the lo mein. I tried the Bean Curd in Oyster Sauce this time and it's very delicious (while my family prefers American style Chinese food I prefer more authentic). Recommend this dish if you like Tofu! It's not spicy but if you want it spicy she will make it that way. If you prefer Sichuan cuisine she also has a Sichuan style bean curd on the menu, similar to maps tofu but no meat... if you want meat she will add it just ask. Nice, friendly woman! I recommend this place. read more

Garden Wok - Bean Curd in Oyster Sauce - Chinese Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

We have been eating here for years. Their food is delicious, reasonably priced and the service and staff are top notch. While I am not a huge fan of their crab Rangoon ( these are real and not the usual imitation) and the hot and sour soup in my opinion needs a little mor heat and sour. The rest of the menu is absolutely delicious. And between the 4 of us we have tried almost everything on the menu. Try for yourself I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Note: we stopped by today - May 2, 2020 - they are indefinitely closed to keep their employees and loyal customers safe from COVID-19. The Garden Wok has THE best orange chicken we have ever eaten anywhere. The owners are so nice! Once they re-open we will definitely get their orange chicken. read more

Quiet restaurant in a quiet neighborhood. We were driving by South Bend and looking for authentic Chinese food. This place did not disappoint. Everything we ordered were delicious. Thank you! read more

Their lunch special is fantastic! Great small family owned business, everything I've had is great!

Great selection of delicious items. Very clean, and professional service. I order take-out on a weekly basis; the food is always delicious and cooked to my liking. What a wonderful local, family business. read more

This is a nice small business to support. The woman who was working at the register was kind. The food was also very cheap.

Ordered chicken with broccoli...big mistake. Chicken was warm & prepared maybe a day or two ago. Not happy.

I used to frequent this Chinese restaurant weekly when I worked at a summer camp in South Bend. Great tasting, cheap lunch specials. Very nice owners who knew as as regulars and we're always friendly. Highly recommend the Singapore Mai Fun or the Chicken with Black Bean Sauce. read more

Garden Wok - Singapore Mai Fun: curried rice noodles with shrimp, chicken, pork, and maybe beef? Very good. Lots of different meats and flavors. - Chinese Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

See all

Great Cantonese food made fresh,been going for over 15yrs and never a complaint. Family ran with friendly service. Excellent lunch buffet for 5.50 includes a drink. read more

This is my favorite place for pepper steak, onions and the shrimp fried rice. The best deals are when you go during the lunch hour. But dinnertime is much less busy. Just be aware that it's not the safest neighborhood so if you have a license to carry. I would just to be on the safe side. Owners are always very nice and accommodating. And after you have been there enough they even remember what you like to order. read more

We eat here all the time. I love the food and service. The staff are always friendly and the food on the buffet is kept hot and fresh. This is my favorite place to go get take out for lunch read more

only thing i can really say is their food is always amazing. ive ate from there almost weekly for almost 2 years now my food has always tasted amazing and fresh and never not tasted the same! normal wait times vary from 10-20 mins ive never waited longer then 20 mins for my food. they have a huge selection of food check them out!!! read more

I am leaving an update that the food is still excellent and very reasonably priced. Serene still knows almost all her customers and is very friendly. read more

Excellent lunch specials. For 5.99 you get your choice of carb and the entree. Also come with a soda. Beef and broccoli with fried rice was very flavorful. Unfortunately, I personally didnt care for the crab Rangoon, but it had a good flavor. read more

Just phenomenal. It doesn't look like much but this is the quintessential "hole in the wall" amazing food place.

Great Chinese for the price I paid. I will definitely be back here. The owner seems to know the regulars here. Nice touch.

This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for years. It is a little hole-in-the-wall place in what used to be a strip mall (now mostly occupied by the church complex that apparently owns the property), Be not deceived. This place is well worth the visit. The food is consistently good and always seems fresh and hot.It's basically carry-out, but there are a few tables if you want to eat on the premises. I think it's family owned and operated - I've seen the same familiar faces (and yes, they do remember you) for years. Note that they do not accept credit cards for orders under $20 (last I heard). read more

Amazing food and HUGE portions for your money!! The restaurant itself is tiny and nothing special, I order to go. Very friendly staff also :) read more

Garden Wok is a FANTASTIC lunch value. The lunch 'buffet' is open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the food is excellent. You get your choice of steamed rice, fried rice, mei fun, or lo mein and two (2) entrees. The chicken and broccoli and beef and broccoli are two of my favorites. The Kung Pao is also very good. And....that's not all...you also get soup (Egg Drop, Hot and Sour or Wonton) and a soft drink (free refills on dine in). It's a small eatery and gets REALLY busy during the lunch hour. They give you a ton of food for only $5.50 (tax included). You just can't go wrong! They also offer a full menu. But it will take longer to get your food, so I highly recommend the buffet. read more

Best food in the Northern Hemisphere. The owners are very friendly and remembered my order after only one prior visit. Their ingredients are fresh and I've enjoyed every meal I've tried. Their Pepper Steak and Lo Mein noodles are most delicious. read more

I've had take out from Garden Wok twice and now it's my first choice. Fresh veggies, light flavorful sauces, fluffy perfectly prepared white rice, and not greasy! A small serving is enough for two generous portions. I ordered my go-to chicken chop suey with white rice, and plain fried rice with pinion and bean sprouts. (Not one pea or carrot! Hooray!) read more

Best Chinese food to go in the area!! Owners are very friendly and remember you from one visit to the next!

Very good Chinese/American. We go there for lunch quite a bit. You get a lot of food at a good price. Gets crowded at lunch for the special, but they do a great job of getting everyone helped quickly. read more
