The wonton soup was amazing. Service was great. Portions are huge.low prices can't find a better place than this

It's one of my favorite places for Asian food. Their egg rolls are the best in El Dorado. Service fast & friendly. We meet many locals every time we eat there. Service is fast & friendly. Love the ambiance & the fact that one can visit with friends after the meal. read more

Great fried rice, sweet and sour, beef& broccoli dishes. Efficient personnel. FIRST CLASS TAKE OUT.

Only tried it once and it made me think of a can of chun king that you buy at the grocery store. I have heard locals say they love it there

Yuck. The General Tzo's chicken was sweet. Tasted like ketchup. Service was friendly. Can't remember the music. The place was run down. read more

I was craving chinese food so I went here. The vegetable fried rice is actually pretty good. But this chicken is horrible. I ordered General Tso because that's what I know and i figured you can't mess that up. I don't know what they did but this isn't even breaded. To make matters worse, I ordered 30 minutes before they closed so I couldn't even call them to let them know the chicken was inedible. I paid $24 just to be able to eat the rice. read more

Oriental Gardens - a variety of food items on a table - Chinese Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

Food is always delicious, and service is good. Huge portions! Overlook the condition of the restaurant itself and just eat!

The best oriental Chinese cuisine in town. It's a local favorite, smells old and dusty but we ordered to go. Love, love, love!

Absolutely amazing food,portions are great there's enough to feed three people in one box, never had anything bad from here

Best Chinese take out in town. Won ton soup and egg rolls are outstanding. Great service

Absolutely amazing!!! Huge portions and it was absolutely delicious!! My children are incredibly picky and they devoured it - my husband and I had to fight for a bite we ordered the veggie lo-mein, sweet/sour chicken, eggs rolls, wontons, and steamed dumplings - best meal we have had in a long time!! The best Chinese restaurant I have ever been too and I have lived and travelled all over the US including Seattle, Boston, DC, LA, and DC - please, please give Oriental Gardens a chance, I promise you will not regret it! read more

Sit down Chinese food places are getting to be few and far between. Chinese buffets and fast-casual places like Panda Express are becoming the norm. This place is old school sit down or take out. My favorite dish here is any of their lo mein plates. The egg rolls are pretty good and the fried rice is also excellent. The lo mein is the best in the area so that is my go-to dish. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a step above the local Chinese buffets. read more

My daughter comes home for Christmas and this is where she wants to go eat. That should tell you how much we enjoy the food from here. Friendly folks but old building. read more

The food was nasty, there was a lot of it but it was soggy and unable to b eaten. It was our first time and will b our last. I can't get this nasty taste out of my mouth !!!! U guys owe us our money back !!!!!!!!! read more

Our hometown favorite for takeout since CoVid changed the inside options. Their serving size is always more than enough for two.

Good taste and value for money. Dishes were fresh made for each order. If you are in hurry, call them first in advance.

Yes it looks like a dump...but don't most awesome, local treasures?? Have you ever seen Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? They have THE best egg rolls and brown sweet and sour sauce (that they apparently make in-house because I asked which oriental stores in LR I could buy it at...and you can't). The portions are huge, the food is always fresh and the prices are unbeatable. My daughter and I just had two full entrees (sweet and sour pork and the Mandarin chicken, both with fried rice and egg rolls) and our bill was $13.66. And we had to take some home because we couldn't finish it all. I've been going here since I was little and still make sure to stop here every time I come back to El Dorado to visit. My personal favorite is the sweet and sour pork, but a lot of people love the boneless fried chicken (my second favorite) MUST order the egg rolls if you visit. You'll thank me. read more

Oriental Gardens - They've used the same disposable place mats since i can remember. Love looking up my zodiac - Chinese Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

Left hurting and happy!!! So much food and it was very good. I got the mandarin chicken lunch (No. 11) and the food was busting out of the box it was so full. Easily could have split between 2 people. Thanks. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the entire world. I've lived in Los Angeles, California, Clarksville, AR, Bentonville, AR, Fayetteville, AR, etc. Etc. And I have traveled all over the United States and world. I have never ever ever found anything to compare to Oriental Gardens' Boneless Fried Chicken dinner. I currently live in Fayetteville, AR, but my entire family lives in El Dorado, as well as I have to meet with them every 6-8 weeks so they can go to MD Anderson with me for my treatments in Houston, TX. Everytime I come by, I make sure Oriental Gardens is waiting for me for lunch or supper. The number 8/Boneless Fried Chicken with wontons and fried rice is and will always be my favorite meal in the world. The building itself isn't the prettiest. The employees are always nice, kind, and friendly. The plate mats have not changed since I was born 26 years ago, but they are iconic and I love them. I have one hanging up in my bedroom. This restaurant is not to be missed whether you are passing through the area or you actually live here. Regional favorites are the fried wontons, sesame chicken, boneless fried chicken and almond chicken. Their fried rice is superb in any form. read more

I was shocked at how good the food is here. I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants, but Oriental Gardens sets itself apart in terms of freshness, portion size, and wait staff. Most eggrolls, hot and sour soup, fried rice, etc tastes exactly the same in most Chinese places....good, but not great and extremely standardized. It is clear that Oriental Gardens makes their food fresh in house with unique ingredients and flavors. If I lived in El Dorado, I would eat here every week. read more

This is our go-to for take out Chinese food. Love the food and serving sizes. We have been eating here for 8 years and would not change! read more

I came home for Thanksgiving and this was on my wishlist of places to eat. I have been coming here for over 15 years. I support small business and just downright delicious food. I had the sesame chicken lunch plate with an order of egg rolls. One thing is for sure, they are consistent and delicious. The egg rolls with the red sauce are my favorite. By far the best egg rolls I have ever had. And I live in California now, I have tried it all. The sesame chicken is so good. I guess a lot of people forget what chicken is supposed to look like! Tons of meat and a crispy breading with a light sweet sauce and seasame seeds. We got the lunch portion which could easily be shared between two light eaters. (It was just me and I ate it all!! ) Thank you Oriental Gardens for being a reason to come back to El Dorado! read more

YUM YUM YUMMMMMM!!!!!!! They have GREAT food!!!! I've only eaten inside two or three times, but have gotten takeout many,many times. Lemme tell you... their wontons are THE BEST!!!! We always order an extra order of them bc we all LOVE them. Great customer service too!!! read more

If Chinese soul food is a thing, this is it! If Chinese dives are a thing, this is it! You don't come here for the decor or the ambiance, you come here for the food; and you'd better bring quite an appetite because the portion sizes are huge. They may (not certain) use frozen vegetables in some of their recipes, but other than that everything is home cooked. Egg rolls are homemade, hand rolled, huge, and fried to perfection. I usually order 4-5 orders (8-10 egg rolls) just for myself to take home and eat cold out of the fridge. Try the fried wontons, I've never had any like them anywhere. Boneless fried chicken (all white meat) with Chinese vegetables, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, Szechuan green beans, and shrimp fried rice are my family's go-to, but I've never had anything bad from their menu. read more

The setup: The intrepid rookie yelper, Paul E, decides to take a much needed and LONG overdue vacation. Not having seen mom or other relatives in a long time, I decided to go to Arkansas to visit. While on the drive back to her house from the airport, she suggests stopping for dinner. We decide to hit up a place near her house called Oriental Gardens. Hmmm...Chinese food? In Arkansas?? Far east meets the Dirrty South ???* Yeah, that's what I thought too. But I figured what the heck, let's try it...and it would be nice to buy dinner for mom. Besides, there's plenty of time for some of her home cooking (btw...eating sweet potato pie as I type...hahahaha). Stepping inside, I was greeted by a nice lady that was more than happy to take my take-out order. Scanning over the menu, I just ordered up a bunch of stuff at random...whatever looked interesting. And just about everything we ordered was pretty good. First up was their appetizer plate - crab rangoon, chicken wings, fried won tons, shrimp toast, BBQ spareribs, wings, and a ginormous egg roll (looked more like a small burrito). The only thing I tried were the BBQ ribs, which were small but good, and quite meaty. The won ton soup was tasty - a simple broth with lots of fresh veggies, sliced pork, and big wontons stuffed with ground pork. Also had their house specialty #1, which is Fried Boneless Chicken w/ Ham and Chinese Vegetables (as described on the menu). One of my favorites - skinless white meat chicken stuffed with thick slices of ham, then very lightly breaded and fried. Yeah, I'm a sucker for meats stuffed inside of other meats (mmmm.....turducken), and I found myself munching on this one the most - not greasy, very lightly breaded, and not overly spiced...just chicken and smoky pork living in harmony. Between all that and the veggie fried rice, I was a happy camper, as was moms. The portions were huge, so an hour later...as well as the next day...there was still plenty of food left. And we hardly made a dent in the menu. Before I head back for Socal, I think I'll give mom a break from the kitchen so we can head back for dinner, and try a few more items. The Kon Bo pork and Singapore noodles sound interesting... * - Well, maybe Arkansas isn't considered dirrty south...just slightly grimy, I guess. read more

This place is an El Dorado tradition. Great food and even better portions. I suggest trying the ragoon and wings. Special fried rice is also a must. You will not be disappointed! read more

I visited Oriental Garden's on the recommendation of a coworker. I ordered the beef and broccoli lunch special which included fried rice and a wonton for $5.30. The food came out quickly and looked good. The rice was ok and the beef was really tasty. I would definitely go back again. I think i'll try th house fried rice next time. read more

The absolute worst!! Ordered lunch gen tsos chicken. Holy hell i think the chicken was fried a couple days in advance and the sauce tasted like watered down bbq sauce and damn sure wasnt spicy!! Had small egg drop soup and still not sure why it was orange. How this place has any rating is interesting. read more

The lady owner was very nice and I just ordered their egg drop soup but it was very good.

Always consistently good and healthy portions to fill your tummy. It's all good but I love the egg foo yung. Solid stable restaurant for years. read more

The best meal in El Dorado. Massive servings. Great prices. Lovely family that runs it. Eat OG, you won't be disappointed.

Me and my boyfriend ordered food to go about a week ago. We were really excited since it had great reviews. The service was wonderful, the girl up front was helpful & nice. We got egg rolls, chicken low mien, & sesame chicken. All that I could taste in those egg rolls was carrots and celery. Nothing else. The vegetables in the low mien were super crunchy, not cooked enough and could've used more sauce. And the chicken in the sesame chicken had so much fat on it. We don't plan on eating here again. Also they should probably switch the box that they put the low mien in, with the sesame chicken box. read more

Affordable, tasty food that come in generous helpings! What's not to like? Best place for take out in town.

My wife and I visited this establishment and was not impressed! We ordered food from the lunch menu and noticed there was no soy or duck sauce, so my wife asks may we have the sauces for our food. We were told that we would need to purchase sauces for items ordered from the lunch menu, so we did. We were visiting El Dorado from Dallas, TX and this is unheard of in Texas as sauces come with the food at no extra charge regardless of what menu you order food from. Not only were we disappointed in this but the food was not good compared to what we are accustomed to. Needless to say, we will never eat at this establishment again. read more

The best egg rolls in the world aren't in China, they are at Oriental Gardens in El Dorado, Arkansas. The place isn't much to look at, but the food is good and the prices are unbeatable. read more

I eat here every time I come to el dorado and it never gets old! General Tso chicken is my personal favorite.

Amazing Food and great people! I have been eating here since a child and they are always so sweet and amazing. I love the Chicken Lo Mein, husband eats the Sweet and Sour Chicken, parents get the Moo Goo Guy Pan. Egg rolls are the absolute best! Try the Won Ton Soup. read more

My Absolute Favorite Chinese Place!!! Whenever I get a chance to make it to El Dorado, I MUST eat at Oriental Gardens. It doesn't look like much from the outside, or when you go in. They could use a good remodeling. Looks are deceiving The #8 on the lunch menu is my fav, Fried Chicken with veggies and a gravy sauce! There's enough left for the midnight fridge raid as well. GREAT VALUE! CHEAP BUT DELICIOUS FOOD! FRIENDLY PEOPLE! read more
