Best Chinese Food in all of Parker. We takeout South Garden III once a week. Have been fans of theirs since they opened the original store. Nice sit in restaurant, and they have delivery. Shrimp with Vegetables is our favorite, with spare ribs, egg drop soup!!! read more

Food is good and fast. Lovely lunch. We didn't have a lot of time and were so impressed that we got our food so quickly. I enjoyed my sweet and sour chicken and my husband enjoyed his cashew chicken. Thank you! read more

South Garden III - Sweet and Sour Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Parker, Colorado

The staff is friendly and they are fast with the order. I like the soup and beef and broccoli.

Nice locally owned Chinese spot. The staff and owners are always very friendly and quick. Great for takeout or dine in! Food is always pretty good, orange chicken can be a little tough sometimes though. Interior is ok but it's nice that they have outdoor seating as well! read more

My go to for take-out or even the occasional sit-down meal. Nothing fancy, just standard good quality Chinese food. The family that owns and runs it are super nice. read more

The food is the best Chinese we've had in Colorado. We like it so much that we use their catering service when we have parties. If you live within 5 miles, they will also deliver to you for no charge and usually give a free gift like scallion pancakes for wontons. When eating at the restaurant, the food is even more amazing since it's fresh out of the wok. They will also make dishes not on the menu. We always enjoyed eating salt and pepper pork in CA. They will also cook this for us when we request this dish. The restaurant is clean but a bit worn down. Though they are on top of taking care of their customers. read more

I had a quick lunch here. The food was okay and the service was okay. The couple that owns the restaurant was nice. The lunch specials were basic and flavors were standard but the portions were large. I took leftovers home. read more

This small family owned and operated restaurant in Parker has amazing service and great food. The couple who always waits on us when we eat here is super friendly and have always made our experience fantastic. The food is great! We have tried several menu items at this point and have not found one that we didn't like. The price (especially during lunch) is outstanding too. While it is a little dated inside it is clean and comfortable and easy to converse with your table read more

I used to love this restaurant so much. The last time I went there, it was less impressive. The food is still very good and I will return for take-out. But the service was lacking. At one point, my friends and I were all out of drinks, so I had to wander around the restaurant to find a server. I found a pitcher of water first, so I looked around more for a server. Our server was sitting at an empty table looking at his cell phone. I asked him if I could take the pitcher of water back to my table so that we could refill our drinks and he said yes. That's what I ended up doing. A half an hour before closing time, the staff started vacuuming and it was clear they didn't want any customers sticking around so we left. The food was good enough, but there's no point in eating there and tipping if you're doing the work yourself. read more

Gooood Chinese food and they're fast! Place an order on a slow day and it will take 5-7 minutes. If they're busy, it may take 20, which is nothing to wait for really good food. AND they have free delivery! My request - please keep going to the awful Panda fast food place so the good places like this one don't get too busy. Kidding - grow up and get Chinese food from the best in the area read more

Tried for the first time. Super friendly and food was delicious. I got the sesame chicken, beef lo mien, eggrolls, and wonton soup. I will for sure be back as I think this is our new go to Chinese food place. read more

Our favorite local Chinese spot! The food is always fresh and delicious, the service is spectacular, and they're incredibly quick. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered lunch from South Garden III during the week and it was delicious! We enjoyed the Mongolian beef which had wonderful flavor, very savory. We also ordered extra eggrolls and they were fresh and crispy. They seem to be made more in a spring roll type wrapper rather than a thick eggroll wrapper, and we enjoyed this. Prices are very fair for portion size. Two of us shared the lunch portion and had plenty. Easy to phone in and order and pick up within 15 minutes. read more

The fast and free delivery was the best part sadly. The portions were great but the food was pretty bland. We had egg drop soup and hot and sour soup, which were standard run of the mill. The kung pao chicken was very bland and mostly peppers. The hunan triple was also bland. No spice to either. We'll order from elsewhere next time sadly read more

This was a quiet Chinese restaurant over in Parker. I came here on accident trying to go to a same named restaurant in Castle rock. I ordered hot tea, egg rolls and Generals Chicken with fried rice. The fried rice was normal and as expected for what comes with an entree. Little bit of egg and soy sauce. Not too oily at all which I appreciated! Nice:) The egg rolls were really good. Well fried, fresh fry oil, fresh veggie interior. Clearly made in house and great! Soup was nice, nothing to write home about but tasted fresh. They gave me crispy noodles upon request. The hot tea was pretty bad. Not flavorful and not fresh and gritty. I'd stick with water next time! The generals chicken I ordered because it listed a lot of veggies with it that I've never seen offered before on a Chinese menu. What came out was chunks of white meat chicken battered and fried "sweet n sour chicken" style with a sweet and mildly zesty sauce and lots of veggies. I really enjoyed this version a lot. I forgot to take a picture though. Service was helpful, prompt and polite! I tried an array of things and enjoyed all the dishes and they all seemed fresh and well prepared. Another couple dined in and I over heard one of them compliment their twice cooked pork dish saying it was "better than the place we usually go". Seemed like everyone liked the food here:) Over all I will likely rarely be near this location but would recommend it it for anyone nearby! read more

My son and I have been going here for many months now for lunch. The menu is large, the food is quite good (my son says the beef skewers are the best), the service is quick and the couple that own the restaurant are gems! It feels like coming home every time we go. They remember what we like to eat and drink and are prepared to serve as soon as we confirm! Good local business and should be supported. 5 stars for sure!! read more

First time here and as much as I don't want to hurt a small business, I was very disappointed, after spending $100 on take out. Bland, dry, and a poor decision on my part. Would love if the food improved since they're conveniently located. read more

We walked in and this employee snapped saying it's her lunchtime and seemed annoyed. We walked out!!!!

I stopped busy this restaurant while running errands. I Ordered some takeout food, and it was in credibly fast. I took the owner's recommendation and ordered the sesame chicken. The sauce was probably closer to a sweet-and-sour chicken than a sesame chicken. The chicken itself was cooked well. There is a lot of batter used on the little chicken morsels. Probably more breading then I typically like the sauce was also far too sweet in my opinion, however, was pretty typical Chinese food. One weird item to note, I ordered lemonade with my to-go order and it came in a soup container with a little hole, cut out at the top. It was only mildly inconvenient because the soup container was larger than would fit in my cupholder. It made getting it home a little precarious, but we made it home with no spills. If you're looking for your run-of-the-mill Chinese food, this is a good place to try. Nothing real fancy, but also not very expensive. The service was good. They were very friendly. And the food came out super fast. read more

Our favorite place closed so had to try a different place in the Parker area. First off, the service for pickup was very kind and attentive. I couldn't understand her very well to be honest (that's my bad) but the lady was talkative and friendly and smiling late on a Saturday. For pickup, I felt it was extra service and kept this review at 4 stars. I always order dumplings to judge a place. These were very large, well cooked, but overall okay. The sauce didn't stick well and the dough was a bit loose. This is me being very picky though. There was a lot of pork!! We received a free fried scallion pancake I think. It was very oily and we didn't eat it all. But it wasn't something we ordered so no judgement there! The hot and sour soup FYI was not vegetarian and had a few pieces or pork in it. It wasn't very spicy. For entrees we had moo shu chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Like other positive reviews, the amount of protein was more than other places. I could only eat 1/4 of mine so I had lots of leftovers. The flavors seemed off to me though. Not sure what flavor was missing, but it was "one note" as the chicken and cabbage mixture tasted the same. It tasted similar to the hot and sour soup, which take as you will. Again, nothing bad... it was good, but not great. Sweet and sour chicken was good though. The fried pieces weren't soggy nor too oily and there was plenty. I'd recommend that! Overall, 4 stars that I feel could go either way when we return. read more

first let me say this, the people here are incredible. I was treated so so well I felt like ive been here a dozen times my first time. second, the drinks. absolutely amazing. they make them strong and they taste great. I'll add that the food is beyond what I thought I was going to experience coming in. I've been to more Chinese restaurants than I can say and this was hands down my top 2 favorite places on the food alone. if you're passing through or you live in Parker this is a must have. it's slow enough on the inside that if you want some incredibly friendly service youre in the right spot. I hope this place gets some more traffic as it's well well worth it. read more

Ok. This is why I'll never trust yelp when it comes to ratings in Parker. This place is fantastic. So I'm a big carnivore. So when my girlfriend wanted to pickup takeout and chose this place - I gave her a hard time. Only 3 out of 5 stars?!? Are you joking darling?! I'm glad she over ruled me. I'm glad This place proved over yelp reviewers that they have either changed or they are talking rubbish. I have never received so much duck meat in my dish before when I've bought this at other places. The photo was my second warm up - as I couldn't eat it all at once! I mean just look at all the duck meat! Brilliant. I'll be back again for sure and I certainly will take Parker yelp reviews with a pinch of salt here on out. Just found a gem in Parker! read more

South Garden III - Duck - Chinese Near Me - Parker, Colorado

Absolutely the blandest Chinese food I've ever had. Ordered Generals chicken, which should be red and spicy ...it was neither of these. It tastes like nothing with a touch of sweet. The white rice was damp, reminded me of minute rice. The wonton soup had only two dumplings, both of which were empty. I could've grabbed a frozen Lean Cuisine and been happier read more

We ordered food to be delivered and it was delivered fast and hot. The problem was it had no taste. Everything tased the same. Absolutely the worst taste and texture. It used to be so good and now tasted like mash. We will not be back unfortunately! read more

Way overpriced and way average. I don't seek this place out. I have tried so many Chinese places in Parker and it always costs me so much and I could get a very comparable frozen meal from the king Soopers next door. I won't go back because of the price but the food isn't awful, it's just not great for the price. read more

Went here for dinner with the wife. The service was excellent. The food came out quickly, happy family and combo Lo Mein. Food was hot and delicious. We come here every now and then just because we don't live close but is really a great place to eat. Potions are large. Prices reasonable. read more

Unfortunately a sign of the times. It's no longer kung pao chicken, but rather kung pao vegetables with a little chicken. I 'thoroughly enjoyed my kung pao bamboo and water cress' this evening. Wow. Just have to figure something else out these days. Dining out and Chinese delivery will never be the same. Higher prices and lower quality. Disappointing. read more

South Garden is next to my new stable. Even though it has a 3-star review, I decided to try it as the convenience is great. A friend ordered pork fried rice, and I ordered a large bowl of hot sour soup. The second time, I had chicken lo mein and took pork fried rice home to the husband as my friend had raved about it. Both meals were great. What made South Garden special is the owner. She was so welcoming and suggested her favorite dishes. The restaurant was very clean and quiet. I will return again as I can grab a quick, good lunch and return to stable. read more

This is a great place despite what some of the reviews may say. The inside is clean and spacious with plenty of seating, and the employees were friendly and hardworking. Food was ready quickly and prices are very fair for the amount of food. We ordered two large soups, 2 entrees, and dumplings for 3 people and there is enough left for lunch tomorrow. The food was delicious, flavorful, and high quality. If you're looking for a Chinese place out in Parker, I would highly recommend. We recently moved to the Pinery and this will definitely be our regular place from now on. read more

South Garden III - Egg drop soup, orange chicken with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Parker, Colorado

We ordered three different dishes and they came out pretty fast and lukewarm. Made me think that they were precooked already. The taste was so bland that all three different dishes tasted almost the same. Both beef and pork were so overly marinated to tenderize them that I couldn't tell the difference between them. read more

South Garden III is really good Chinese food at a reasonable price. They have a large selection of items, and all the ones we have tried are good. We usually get food for takeout and it works well for us. I would recommend checking them out. read more

Love the BBQ pork low main and pork ribs the hot and sour soup is amazing awesome on a cold day read more

Been a regular here for 20+ years, will forever be my favorite Chinese food restaurant!!! Staff is always so lovely and food is sooo tasty!

The food here is mediocre at best, no flavor and was so bland it reminded me of what old people are served in nursing homes. First let me say that we found a long black hair as soon as we opened our food. None of us have long hair or black hair. Super gross! We ordered our regular which was Egg Drop Soup, Sauteed Vegetables, chicken wings, Lo Mein and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The soup has ZERO flavor, like none what-so-ever. It was grossly congealed and gelatinous. I'd assume they just threw in some eggs with a little unflavored broth and cups of cornstarch. Gross! The vegetable were nice and crisp and not over cooked but again, zero flavor. It took adding 1/2 cup of sriracha to give it any flavor. The Sweet and Sour chicken was so dry and over cooked it wasn't edible as were the wings. In all the years of ordering this dish all over the US I've never experienced this. Another instance not experienced before was super dry Low Mein noodles. How is this even possible, usually they're pretty greasy. These were so dry it took adding tons of sriracha to this dish as well. I've never experienced Chinese food with literally NO flavor and no spice. The search continues....why is it so hard to find just 'decent' Chinese in this town? read more

We ordered a delivery around 8pm last night and the food was absolutely atrocious. Barely any meat in the Beef with Garlic Sauce and mostly vegetables. What meat there was in the dish was rubbery and tasteless. My son would not eat it. The soup was bland as well. I do NOT recommend this place. Very poor quality and the amount of meat in any dish is a joke for what they charge you. I called the owner to let them know about how little meat was in the dish we paid over $11.45 for and all she said is we have many happy customer. I told her I wanted my money back, but she refused and said she would only give free appetizer on next order. Well, there will not be a next order from this lousy Chinese place because we will not be ordering from them any more. Take out from somewhere else and save yourself the disappointment. read more

South Garden III - Beef with garlic sauce - Chinese Near Me - Parker, Colorado

South Garden III is not the place to get your Chinese food fix. I went with my in-laws, and were greeted and brought to a table. Even 2 hours before closing, we felt rushed by them. Maybe they don't speak much English, but it didn't seem like they were happy to see us. When we received our food, I could already guess what it would taste like. The meat was chewy, rubbery, and tasteless - I wouldn't even feed this garbage to my dog. I will admit that the orange chicken was done well, it was fried and tasty like Panda Express. The fried rice was bland and had NOTHING in it except the few random pieces of egg. The best part of the food we got were the veggies on the side. And the prices for this... ridiculous. I will not be returning read more

The fried rice was unedible. The customer service was terrilble. The prices are on the very high level. Won't go back. Eat at your own risk. There are better places to try. Woud give Zero stars if I could. read more

The food here is low grade dog food it's way over priced it tastes like it came out of a can,it was terrible not worth the money, they raised there prices they should lower there prices,avoid this place at all cost, go to Panda Express at least there food has flavor and is fresh, and NOT Way over priced. read more

This is a place I used to really like. The lady that owned it always greeted me as her friend. Food was good. Due to becoming handicapped, I haven't been by lately. Decided to order a delivery for my husband and myself. When I called, I asked the lady who answered the phone if she used to call me her friend when I came in. Silence. No answer. Very rude. Gave up. Placed order. She didn't read back what I ordered. I asked her to. Rattled it off so fast I didn't get any of it. Gave up. Food comes. All correct except dumplings that I asked to be fried, were steamed. And rather too firm. Way too firm. Big enough, though. My husband's pork egg foo yung had singed pancakes and a couple shreds of pork in the sauce. My king pao chicken had no pao to speak of and not much chicken. Mostly bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Bleh. So there goes the last decent Chinese restaurant that delivers in Parker. I give up. read more
