Still trying to find our go-to Chinese and this checks a couple of boxes but not all. Lady who runs the counter and possibly cooks, too has been there forever, she is quick and efficient. Still carry out only. You order at the counter and there are seats to wait for your food. If you think ahead, you can call it in and not have to wait. I seem to stop here on a whim. I like that they have combination plates all day and not only combo plates for lunch. This time I got Hot Braised Chicken Boneless with Egg Drop Soup, and Crab Rangoon. I also tried the Szechuan Dumplings. The chicken was cooked well, and the sauce had a good flavor, but it was just ladled on and not tossed and that would have made it better. The fried rice was great; I love that it doesn't have peas or carrots which I dislike in fried rice. The egg drop soup has good flavor and the crispy wontons are aslo good to add to the soup. The crab rangoon were a little sweet for me and the dumplings were pretty good but sauce was just ok. Overall, this place will do but I will continue on my quest for great. read more

The food here is delicious. I order takeout often, and both the portion sizes and the staff are fantastic. The gravy chicken and orange chicken are both great, and I especially love the fried rice extra fried. The hot and sour soup is also really good. read more

Great food speedy service great portions.best for takeout not much space to dine in lots parking.

I have been coming to this little gem of a Chinese restaurant in South County for years. I have never had a bad experience. I've always been been impressed with their quick service and the chicken fried rice and crab Rangoon and, well, I won't go down their menu just to say it's all good. I wish I could carry it with me back to North Carolina, in my neck of the woods the Chinese food is atrocious. I don't know how they do it, but they really make outstanding food like their beef lo mein. Of course your mileage may vary and it's my opinion but I definitely recommend them. read more

I miss this place. I really wish they'd bring back delivery. The food was always very good.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and I can't recommend this place enough! Great value, too.

We tried lemay garden because it was close but really can't recommend. The appetizers were in the fryer too long. Entrees were ok and they did give you a lot of veggies. The fortune cookies were stale and the condiments were few and not great quality. read more

This place is well priced and delicious! One of my new favorite Asian food spots in south county! The hunan beef dish was so yummy! I love the rice and sauce it came with along with the vegetables. Also the chicken wings here are great! The garlic Parmesan ones were smacking! read more

some of the worst food I've ever ha. I ordered the spicy chicken with vegetables I thought I'd get crab ragoons but no they probably would have been terrible read more

I've eaten at this restaurant for many years. My all time favorite dish is their cashew chicken with crispy chicken. It's delicious! The proprietors are friendly and service is excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Felt like the entree was just okay. Ordered hot braised chicken and wasn't overly impressed. But I did get some of the best fried rice I've had in a while. And the lady who took my order was really nice. Overall I was really happy with the experience and would order from them again read more

Best wings hands down plus the pepper chicken firer.. No more stop at panda.. THEY'll SEE ME AGAIN read more

Just moved to the area, had a friend recommend this place for takeout, definitely will become my go to spot.

We went here based on the review and it was virtually inedible. I ordered Empress Chicken and it was all mushy. The vegetables had a vinegar flavor and the meat had soggy breading that was super thick. My husband got the Curry Chicken and his was mushy too. The crab rangoon was good and the sauce on the Empress Chicken wasn't bad. We ended up throwing most of it out. We will have to keep looking for a decent Chinese carry out. read more

Ordered sweet-and-sour chicken, cashew chicken, chicken fried rice, and crab Rangoon. According to everybody, the only thing that was even edible was the chicken fried rice. The sweet-and-sour chicken had hardly any chicken in it and was bland and stale. 3 of us shared it and half of it got thrown away. The cashew chicken had a strange taste that reminded me of cookies and the chicken was kinda tough. It got thrown away after 2 bites. The Rangoon was mostly crust with VERY LITTLE filling. The chicken fried rice required a lot of soy sauce but everyone agreed it was ok and edible. We live right down the street and won't be back. read more

Good food at a good price, service is good as well, I'll eat here again. They keep the place nice and clean as well.

I have been eating here for 10+ years! They are always fantastic! Great service too!

For as long as I could remember my 1st experience with Chinese food was Lemay Garden.... How could I have gone so many years living in the area and never tried such incredibly tasty Chinese entrees... I used to work in Dierberg's Plaza Where Lemay Garden has been for over 23 years. That has got to scream excellent Chinese food... It doesn't matter what you order it comes out fresh and Allen is always ready to say hello how are you doing... They don't make managers like Alan anymore.. But take my advice, view their menu and then call in your order and take a quick ride to pick it up... It is so worth it.......... read more

I ordered tonight for the first time. I ordered Hot Braised Chicken combo plate; my husband ordered Beef Fried rice. We both loved it! The food was hot and fresh. We will definitely order again. read more

I came across this place during a quick Google search for the nearest Chinese restaurant. I ordered the hot braised chicken combination plate that came with 2 wontons and chicken fried rice. I added an additional order of 6 crab rangoon, as I can't eat Chinese food without them. The prices were reasonable but the portions are on the smaller side. Don't expect to have any rice or chicken left over. The chicken itself wasn't so bad but the breading tasted really odd. It was more dense than most other places and almost tasted like a homemade fried donut (sounds odd right). The sauce lacked any sort of heat, although not nearly as sweet as Lemay Woks hot braised sauce. The fried rice was serviceable despite actually having very little chicken in it. It had a slight burnt taste to it but that didn't bother me much. It was nice to get fried rice with the meal compared to the usual white. The worst offender by far were the crab rangoons. These are by far the worst that I've had at any Chinese restaurant. They're overly large in size, as if they didn't know how to fold them properly. That's fine but they are also 98% breading with a miniscule amount of filling. I'm sorry but if you somehow manage to screw up the crab rangoon this bad then that doesn't say much for the rest of your food. There are so many Chinese restaurants to choose from in the area. Lemay Garden does nothing whatsoever to set themselves apart from the crowd. I say give this place a hard pass. read more

Fresh and delicious Chinese food! Will definitely be back very soon. Thank you Lemay Garden!

I am in love with their pot stickers!! They are D E L I C I O U S! I have never been disappointed. The service is also very good. Love the owners. Being a regular customer is nice. I did try their broccoli beef once and was not impressed, but I am picky. So I would take that with a grain of salt. Their fried rice has grown on me. Moved to the area and it wasn't like the fried rice in my last area. But still not a horrible fried rice. When I do get a meal, I get the boneless hot braised chicken with fried rice. Sadly, I do not care for crab rangoon and soups. (I did mention that I'm picky) Try them out. I have them saved in my contacts and I will probably get some pot stickers in the next couple of days now haha. read more

This is one of best (in my opinion) Chinese places in South County. They have great lunch specials as well! read more

Hmm . Got hot braised chicken combination plate .very small portions of chicken . Weird tasting never had hot braise chicken taste like this before in a bad way. The fried rice was ok .. very skimpy on the filling of the crab ragoon . The quality has declined n serving sizes get smaller n smaller. Probably won't be back .. shane because ive been coming here since high school . !! read more

I hate to leave this review because I used to love this place. I know the owner has had some health issues the last couple years and didn't order as frequently because they stopped offering delivery. I ordered tonight and the chicken was so dry and stringy I couldn't even bite into it. It seemed old and the fried rice did too. Unfortunately, I will not be ordering again. There are too many Chinese restaurants in the area to pay $22 for old dried out food. read more

By far one of the best Chinese take out places ever! Super fresh vegetables and great cuts of meat! The sauces are brewed to perfection! The staff is so nice and the food is always so hot and fresh!!!! I highly recommend the beef and broccoli or the sesame chicken! The crab Rangoon is so perfect the filling sweet and creamy with chunks of crab! I recommend this to any body on a budget! read more

Great food. Always fresh and well made. I eat there frequently and recommend them to others. Love the St. Paul sandwiches and hot braised chicken. They use high quality meat and veggies. read more

This is above average Chinese food. The pot stickers could have been a bit more flavorful, but overall I was pleased with my meal and I will come back. read more

Lemay Garden, is the best food, at reasonable prices. It is a bit hidden, but isn't that always the way for the best places? A small restaurant, run by family. We will go across town to go there! The hot sour soup is delicious, the crab ragoons always are good, and your orders are made fresh. Thumbs up all the way! read more

Fast delivery, large portions, decent food. I ordered beef lo mein, and it was huge! It was good, but it was kind of sweet, which I am unaccustomed to with lo mein. But it was pretty good. read more

Good chinese foods hidden in small restuarant!!! My favorite place for lunch special. Best orange chicken!!!

OMG!!! Their Chinese food was absolutely amazing!! Their egg drop soup was super creamy and it's very difficult to find creamy egg drop soup around town. The orange chicken was so delish!!! Also, their crab ran goons, egg rolls and chow/lo mein!!! I rate them five stars! They are soooooo delish Their workers are actually Chinese, so it's not any type of knock-off. Also, the service was great!! I will return for sure!!! read more

Took the kids and wife there last night for the buffet. Servers were fine. We did not like the food. We ate a lot of their donuts which were average. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time last night with takeout. I had the General Tso's combination plate which was delicious. My wife had the Bourbon chicken combination plate, she said it tasted delicious as well. Soup is included with the combination plates. I only rated 4 stars because we had a side order of crab ragoon that was just ok. We will try again, especially when we found out they don't use MSG on any of their dishes. read more
