I had the worst experience rude on the phone and were talking about me their native language not only that I was missing items in my first order with them. I did give them a second chance, and they offered to give me what I was missing for free. The food is pretty good and it's pretty cute inside but just overall about experience never go here. read more

My go to spot for quick and satisfying Chinese food. I always get the sesame chicken combination platter, but I don't like the pork fried rice so I sub for chicken lo mein. Have gotten many times and will get many more. read more

Mainly setup for pickup, the food is consistently fresh and aromatic. We generally order vegetarian or chicken dishes. You can also customize all the dishes while ordering online. read more

See all

I have ordered take out as well as home delivery from Mia's Garden for many many years. Never had a disappointing meal. Still the best Wonton soup in Metuchen! Prices are very reasonable and food is always hot and fresh! I like that they do their own delivery - no extra hassle of figuring out who is bringing your food. $2 delivery fee is standard - no extra charge for using credit card. Will continue to use them and recommend them! read more

Mediocre ingredients, inconsitant but convenient and easy parking. Not sure how clean their kitchen is. They have their own website for ordering but also signed up with BeyondMenu which looks like you are ordering directly from the restaurant but they add $1 per meal without ever disclosing who they are. read more

This Is our go to place for Chinese in north Edison Metuchen area. Classic Chinese. No frills. Fair price. We are vegetarians and always order gen Tsao's tofu, flat rice noodles (chow ho fun) and broccoli with black bean sauce. Depending on the amount you order there are some free stuff like spring rolls if the order is above $25. They just need to put less oil. No complaints otherwise. read more

Ordered from here for the first this evening and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. Ordered the chicken and broccoli, pork fried rice and an egg roll. Only the pork fried rice was edible. The chicken was rubbery and the egg roll was solid grease and the only thing you tasted was the grease. Next time I order Chinese food, I'll get it from Pink Lotus on Main Street in Metuchen and I suggest you do the same. read more

Fav local spot! Delivers fast, fresh & prices are reasonable. If u order over $20 they give u a free container of pineapples.. Not sure why lol but we ask if they can substitute it for egg rolls read more

Mia's Garden has been our go to spot for Chinese food for years now. Our family is a huge fan of broccoli and garlic sauce and we haven't found another garlic sauce quite like it. My dad also likes their mixed vegetables + tofu with garlic sauce. We usually order the lunch portion during lunch. It seems like their lunch portions have changed. Before they use to give a small container of broccoli and a side of rice. Now when we get the lunch portion the rice and the vegetables were in the same small container (which previously contained only broccoli). 2/3 of the container was rice with only 1/3 of it being vegetables. There also was barely any garlic sauce the last time we got it. Luckily my husband always orders a side of garlic sauce so we were all able to share that. My dad ended up not feeling well after eating his order of mixed vegetable and tofu. Since this is the only time that's happened, I think it was a fluke. I really hope they bring back their regular lunch portions back since we ended up with so much leftover rice. read more

My new go to place! Very flavorful! Had General Tso which was very nice as was the Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce.

Tasteless & rude! I did a one & done! I think they are overpriced & I didn't care for the rice flavor at all & the chicken & broccoli in my opinion wasn't authentic in flavor! read more

I really wish Yelp would let reviewers give half stars, because this is one of those times where I would give this place 3.5 stars. I decided to round down because of their service. We haven't been in the restaurant itself. We only ordered take out. First, let's talk about the service. Our order is pretty simple, a quart of wonton soap, chicken and broccoli and chicken and eggplant in spicy sauce. We googled this location and found out we were only 9 minutes away, so it should be pretty quick right? Plus, their website promised us that delivery would take around 25-30 minutes. And we managed our expectations based on that. However, the order didn't come until an hour and 5 minutes after our order time. The delivery guy couldn't find our apartment number either. I'll cut him some slack for that one because the building is confusing. He at least found the correct building. In terms of the food, it was delicious and plentiful. They gave us two small take-out boxes of rice with our order. My boyfriend managed to finish his dish and I think I finished about 1/3 of mine (weak I know). We managed to kill the rest for lunch the next day. The chicken and broccoli was really good, broccoli was nice a fresh. They only use white meat chicken, seeing as both of our dishes came with it and they didn't specify that as an option when we ordered online. The chicken and eggplant was good as well. The eggplant to chicken ratio is way off, maybe like 3:1. If you like eggplant, then definitely get it. The spicy sauce has a kick to it as well. Overall, I like this place. We will probably go there next time instead of getting delivery. Or we'll order an hour ahead of time instead. Either way, it's worth a try. Definitely one of the better Chinese places I've had. read more

I work pretty close to Mia's garden and find myself getting lunch here at least once a week. This is definitely one of my favorite take out places in the area, they are friendly and the food is pretty good, although some items are much better than others. The best part about this place is that it is clean, something I definitely can't say about a lot of chinese take out places. There's like 6 or so tables inside so you can actually sit down and eat, and it's pretty cheap. A lunch combo platter and a can of soda is about $6. Worth a trip if you want basic chinese take out that wont either gross you out or get you all rumbly for the rest of the day. read more

I don't think they deserve a full 4 stars but considering the current standing I'm more than willing to give it to them. It's hard to find something other than cheap stuff going over to Rutgers. This place does a solid job. I'm usually not that adventurous, I've had garlic chicken, chicken and broccoli, wonton soup, and lo mein. It's never dry and packs good flavor. They aren't stingy either. I can can have enough leftover for lunch. It's the little things they fall short on. The price is a bit high and don't offer those awesome combo meals you usually see. I usually get delivery but the average time is 45min - hour. At least there's an option to pay online. Worth a shot and definitely not a big risk. read more

We order take out here on Friday evenings now and then. It's your typical Chinese take out place but serves up some awesome eggplant/broccoli in garlic sauce! Delicious Lo Mein too.....Very quick service, you order and the food is ready for pick up in 10 minutes. The place is clean and has a few tables, but never seen any customers actually eating in there. If you want wholesome takeout in a jiffy, you bet you can depend on this tiny but efficient place. read more

This has been my go-to Chinese food restaurant for the last number of years. I was so sad that it closed at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. They have reopened and we couldn't wait to order food! Let me tell you the food did not suffer the restaurant being closed. So good! Dumplings were amazfamilies! The food we got was awesome! Thank you for opening your business so we can help support your families!! read more

This is seeon the worst food I've ever had.ordered the dumplings which completely turned my stomach and the bourben chiken had no sauce on it. When I called the lady insisted that she put a lot of sauce on it and it might be at the bottom but no sauce. I guess it must have evaporated in the ten minute ride home. I will never eat here again and I highly recommend skipping this place. The food is just terrible. read more

Glad to have found a go-to spot for Chinese delivery on our first try, as we are new in town. We've viewed the poor reviews, but happy we overlooked them. It's hard to find great Chinese take-out food, but our search is over. Very friendly staff, fast service, and great quality food! So far, no complaints. read more

I placed an order for pickup and when I got home, I had to hire a P.I. to search for the pieces of pork in my pork fried rice. =) read more

Mia's Garden - chicken and rice in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

Some of the worst Chinese food I've had in a while.For starters the rice was very undercooked. The rice was almost raw which made the food almost inedible. The fried chicken I ordered was seasoned well, only problem was the chicken still had feathers on it. It's so unfortunate that they sell food like this read more

First off, in the winter time the place is freezing whenever I go in and place an order. They are not that friendly either. Fried chicken wings tasted past their due date, fried rice was hard and not edible, and did I mention they aren't that friendly?!? read more

The food is mostly good the attitude of the people is bad they just don't give a dam if you like their food or not they are more interested is churning out orders rather than their quality of food. The free egg rolls or their egg rolls are so loaded with oil it's not even worth it if it's free. This is just the way this young generation does business basically they don't give a darn read more

I don't trust any other Chinese takeout place. I've had very few, if any, issues with orders and the food is always warm. The service is quick and everyone is pretty friendly there. The portions are in proportion with the price. My family always gets the steamed chicken dumplings, which are delicious, especially with the sauce that comes with it. I usually stick with my General Tso's chicken (I ask for it with white meat) or Ma Po tofu. You can also order with brown rice if you're looking for a healthier substitute. For a night when you're too tired to cook but still want sustenance, try Mia's!! Its Chinese takeout though- don't expect a 5-star meal. read more

Their delivery is fast and their Mongolian beef is the bomb. Other than that, this place is a regular Chinese take out place but it's clean and their food tastes fresh. One issue I have with this place is that their meat to vegetable ratio in some of their dishes sucks. My son ordered beef and broccoli and it was mainly all brocolli with only a couple pieces of chewy beef. I also had this issue with their chicken and cashews with it mainly consisting of celery. On the other hand, the Mongolian beef dish uses a much a better quality of meat that is tender and they give you way more. read more

This is one of my family's favorite restaurants and it is our favorite Chinese food restaurant. The food is standard (Americanized?) Chinese food. The portions are large. The staff takes great pains to make sure special requests are always met! Plus, delivery is always on time! I would never elect to eat in the restaurant, though. It's small and...not really intended as a dine-in place. We do take-out or delivery. read more

Solid Chinese takeout. Good quality dishes, quick and friendly service and quick delivery as well. Yummy dumplings, delish beef and broccoli. The beef is tender it melts in your mouth! The kids love the sweet and sour chicken, (I know, not really Chinese but they like it.) All their ingredients are fresh and we have never been disappointed. They give you free fresh Pinnaple with your order which is an extra treat! read more

My original review was very positive but I have seen a change unfortunately, there has been a price increase which wouldn't be a big deal but they have decreased the portions so that doesn't seem right. Also we did not get the pineapple slices this time and have discovered the fried rice is terrible to the extent we had to discard the entire pint. What we did enjoy was the lo mein, egg rolls, and dim sum. I picked up my order this time and would like to note that the place was very clean which you don't always feel when entering Chinese takeout locations, but the staff was miserable and rude it made me feel my business was not wanted. It was a weekday around 11:30am so they were not very busy. read more

Everything here is perfectly adequate and fairly well-executed. We order here when we are craving basic Chinese take out. Delivery is quick and you can place your order online, a convenience that makes this our go-to place. I am sure you can find each individual item better done elsewhere but it is just fine, and the convenient online ordering sets it apart. read more

Not the best, but not the worst. These guys can be hit or miss depending what you order. The scallion pancakes are small and oily, but at least they have them. I'm not a fan of their steamed dumplings, and their dipping sauce for them is just a very salty soy sauce. The general tsao is also not very good. But, the moo shu and egg rolls are good, and you can order online which is nice. read more

This is the best Chinese place in the area! I've ordered from the countless times and they've always been on time and complete. Anytime someone visits my house they always ask if we can order the "good Chinese food". The soup is the best, the boneless ribs are great and pretty much everything else is wonderful too! At any other place I would stick with chicken and broccoli but here I venture out and try tons of new things. I am always pleasantly surprised about any new dish and my current favorite is the pan fried chicken and noodles. And if you like spicy the Mongolian beef is amazing. I could go on and on but try it for yourself! They are also on grub hub. read more

There are many Chinese restaurants in the area however this one to date is the best. Food is fresh, delivery is fast and there's always left overs for lunch the next day. We always do delivery... Haven't eaten at the location. read more

Delicious!!! Food is always amazing and fresh fast delivery!!!!! Order your Chinese here

We dine here almost every week. It's a clean Chinese carry out type restaurant that also has free delivery. The food is tasty and they serve top quality ingredients. The owners, cooks, and workers are friendly and willing to adjust the taste according to your request. If ever in this area and craving some Chinese American food, come down over to Mia's Garden. read more

The worst Chinese food I've ever had. It's cheap because the quality is no good..you get what you pay for. Never again-so many other good spots in the area! read more

Just found a metal "staple" in my Egg Foo Young.YES, a staple. Now it's just become frightening and intolerable. The food has gotten progressively worse and like other posts, the staff is not pleasant, food missing on orders etc. They have now lost a long time customer for good. read more

Our local takeout place. Better than all the other local takeout Chinese in town. Fresh ingredients and not greasy or over salted. Plus they will make up special mixed vegetable orders so we don't have to eat mushrooms if we don't want to! read more

i wish i could rate without a star..... ugly, greasy classic chinese take-out crap......i think this place runs only because there is no one else. and quite sure all the other reviews are my mia & company. took more than an hour for delivery. read more

Maybe it was an off-day, but the food was really salty. Usually this place is good so I'll chalk it up to being the exception rather than the rule. read more

this is probably the best Chinese take out in NJ. I'm a very picky eater b/c my mom is an awesome Taiwanese cook so i'm usually disappointed by take out places. Mia's Garden's food is very good and the seafood are fresh. I highly recommend this place. read more

Worst delivery service, took 56 minutes to get food. Order was wrong, and very disappointed in food.
