Inside
Loveleen A.

Rose Garden is a Chinese place that has an American Chinese menu AND a separate more authentic Chinese menu. I thought that was amazing to have that choice and separated. I think the authentic menu has to be asked for if you go during lunch. Very large space, can fit larger groups of people nicely. I had the Ma Po Tofu, they were able to make it without pork for the vegetarian. Also had the Singapore Noodles. The waitstaff understood we wanted it made vegan and he understood that which makes it easier to order vegan food. Our table had the pork dumplings, beef short rib, and a beef stew with a lot of gelatinous chunks. The food was hot and very good. If you are in the Northern suburbs and are looking for more authentic Chinese food, here is definitely a spot to check out. They also have the robot servers to bring out your food. That was fun to watch! My favorite part was that we got sweet cut fruit align with our check instead of the cookies. That was a unique touch. Plenty of parking as its stand alone building.

Golden fried seafood, salt and pepper squid, house fried rice and stir fry vegetables
Victoria L.

I'm so glad I finally gave Rose Garden a try this place is such an underrated gem! They offer both a buffet menu and a traditional Chinese menu, so there's truly something for everyone depending on what you're craving. I highly recommend the golden fried seafood it's crispy, flavorful, and absolutely to die for. The beef chow fun is another standout: perfectly stir-fried with that classic wok flavor that's hard to beat. Their menu has a great variety of protein options, so no matter what you're in the mood for beef, chicken, seafood, or vegetarian you'll find something that hits the spot. And just a heads-up: the portions are definitely family-style, so come hungry or bring a few friends to share! If you're in the area and haven't tried it yet, this is your sign Rose Garden deserves way more recognition.

Tofu seafood soup

Our families new go-to place for Chinese seafood. It also offers banquet hall for large events and weddings. Plenty of parking and the dining hall is large enough to fit several large groups. Very similar to the Minneapolis Hong Kong Noodle (maybe even related).

Chicken dish

Our food came out with a penny in it... i was really enjoying the dish prior to seeing this. All the other food was great..service was slow but they do have a cool robot that comes out to bring you your food I would go back and give it another try, the beef and onion entree was amazing

The food was great! The service however was beyond awful. I went with my mother and grandmother for lunch/dim sum. We first ordered our dim sum. We ordered the seared bbq pork buns, chicken feet, shumai(2 of each order), then we ordered our main courses to share. Including walnut shrimp, tripe veggies, salty chicken fried rice and deep fried fish. Normally, dim sum would come out first due to it being more of an app. We received the pork buns along with our main courses. Once I was done eating, they finally brought out the dim sum apps. We thought they forgot to put in the order and tried asking the waitress to cancel it. They brought it out anyways and the waitress was very rude about it. Giving us excuses as to why it took so long to come out. She made a comment to my mom, "well next time we can talk about it before you order." It already took us a while to order due to lack of presence your table. My mom is a regular here and knows Julie. So being treated this way is unacceptable. I wish the service was better due to the food was delicious.

98% wonton 2% cream cheese
Chris H.

Poop garden I asked for my sesame chicken extra spicy and it just tastes sweet almost sugary. The cream cheese puffs have a horrible cream cheese to puff ratio. The egg roll tasted like a pine tree... I don't want Christmas in my egg roll. The fried rice isn't bad but I don't know how you would mess that up I will say mushrooms in fried rice is a little strange. The best part of the meal was the sauce packet that are obviously not made by them. I will be back to pick up sauce packets but I will not order anything else from there menu.

Human hair inside a cooked lobsters head

The manager and waitress is telling me this is normal, can someone please tell me if this is normal? I don't eat lobster and I don't quite understand how human hair can be inside a cook lobsters head, how is this normal? I'm so grossed out and this will probably be the last time I will support this restaurant.

I come to Mandarin Kitchen a few times a year for their dim sum. They have this every weekend from…read moreopen until 2 pm. However, it is always packed so just come ready for a wait. The good news is there's a boba place right next door you can hang out at. Mandarin kitchen is a gem still running the old classic push cart style dim sum with a wide array of popular dim sum dishes as well as some lesser known ones. Everything is made in house and the food is all incredible. It can be hard to know how much you're going to pay until the end as they just are checking off boxes on a piece of paper and you don't even know which box they'll check off until after you get it, but still never ends up being too bad - worst I ever had to pay was $37/person but usually it's around $20 and you'll be stuffed. The staff are quick and constantly running around with so many delicious dishes. You might have to ask if you want something specific, but certain dishes like the duck can run out quick so be sure to get it when comes around. Overall, an awesome place for friends, family and just about everyone. One of my favorites.

They need to update hours on website. No longer 11 am - changed to noon recently. Closed Tuesday…read more Service is fantastic. Food dropped down a notch. Sesame chicken was very thin and dry. Ambiance is loud as a result of hard surfaces but that's always been that way. Haven't tried in years. But Dim Sum was always outstanding. Weekends only.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

Thinly sliced raw fatty beef, dipped into a simmering bowl of Szechuan spicy broth (both pepper and…read moremala spice)... I swirl it for 10 seconds or so then let it rest on my sauce of choice - sesame paste sauce, or chili garlic oil sauce. I'll eat it, along with noodle or rice, a qail egg perhaps. My mouth explodes with flavor. Every time. Hot pot, hot pot. In my gastronomical journey through life, Chinese hot pot is possibly my greatest encounter. And locally, it's Le Pot. Best broth bases - mala spicy, pork bone, and Tom yum are endorsed by me and my girlfriend Great foodstuffs - qual egg, udon noodles, good fatty beef, crab sticks, good old cabbage, tofu, bean curd, enoki mushroom etc - Lamb and pork are alright at this location, could be better Great sauce bar, as I can assemble my staples - Sauce 1: black vinegar, chili oil with flake, garlic oil with garlic, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro (about equal parts and adjust); season with sugar, salt and soy sauce if desired - Sauce 2: lots of sesame paste, and leave as is or maybe add scallions, chili oil, sesame seed **I do wish they had chive paste** - Sauce 3: Oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, cilantro, green onion, black vinegar Value - it's like 30-35 dollars a person here. - I often leave more satisfied here than I do after a "fancy" night on the north loop What's missing - ambiance is okay - I do like a huge communal pot - Chive flower paste - Pork and lamb could be better - Broths are good, but I like the Chicago restaurants best Local hot pot honorable mentions - the place at Asia Mall with the electric rack innovation - Legendary Spice - you are free to grab a tray and raid their fridges/freezers for whatever meat, vegetable, etc you want. But the borth wasn't as good. Overall, it's rather expensive but quality is in some ways lower than Le Pot. - J Pot - Korean bbq and hot pot. The Chinese flavors were not as authentic, broths not as good to me, but wow having Korean bbq and hot pot at the same time! It's a decent value too.

Can't hurt to have AYCE hot pot added to the food scene. Individual sized pots here, order…read moreeverything through your server, and they have a wide selection including tripe and pork intestine. Service was good but uneven, the ambiance was decidedly no-frills, down to the high ceilings and pseudo-industrial vibe of the building. 3.5 stars seems reasonable, not sure if I should round up or down.
