Very typical, but very accessible and cheap. There's enough high end places in this area where you've got many options if you're looking for that sort of thing. Yummy Garden is the choice you make when you're so lazy that you barely want to get off the couch to go and pee. Comfortable in your pajamas you have no intention of changing out of? Binging on bad TV all day? Skipping your workout? Procrastinating? Ready to eat something unhealthy enough to initiate a touch of self-loathing? Why not, at this point, right? You're looking for Yummy Garden. Food is a notch or two above passable. Delivery is usually prompt. Only complaint I have is that the fried rice is quite mediocre; dry and a bit bland. I usually sub white rice, or I just get an entire quart of General's chicken, which comes with enough white rice to induce a nap for me anyways. I've varied from the norm a couple of times, but I haven't really enjoyed their "specialty" dishes enough to go back to them. The General's and Sesame chicken is usually pretty good. It can be a bit inconsistent (sometimes crispier than other times... sometimes more/less sauce), but it's never bad or foul. Yummy Garden serves is purpose quite well, especially in this area. read more

had hair in my food as of July 31st 2026. The food gave me a calcium clump in my throat and I couldn't figur out why my esophagus was hurting so bad. horrible spot, don't go. no one wears hair nets! read more

Good is a hit every time i come. Prices are decent. Especially with everything going UP. Beef on a stick, chicken wings, soup, egg rolls, they're always good. read more

Yummy Garden - Beef on Stick（4） 牛肉串 combo - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

Convenient location, food is cheap, service was extremely fast, and my boyfriend paid so it was free! You can tell the food is actually fresh, my chicken was crispy, you could tell the broccoli wasn't frozen, even their egg rolls seemed home made and not frozen. Maybe I just have low expectations but this place was a 5/5 for me. read more

Yummy Garden - Small orange chicken with plain lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

Just ordered on DoorDash, was very hot and delicious! The Szechuan chicken could've been a bit spicer but it had great flavor! The steak egg rolls were Okay nothing crazy there I could def go without it next time or just try a different one. The fried rice had a really good flavor to it usually don't like fried rice from Chinese restaurants but this one had great flavor. I highly recommend the general Tso's chicken if you're looking for your basic sweet chicken super good great portion and nice and hot when I got it. Will definitely order again read more

I was in the mood for chineese food and ordered thru Uber Eats. I got my order and the soup smelled and tased burnt. My dish came with the chicken and rice I oredered, but had NO suace so I basically ate plain chicken and rice. Would not recommend them for thier food. The chicken was over coated and had more coating than chicken. Not worth the money I paid!!!! read more

The meat smelled foul. The containers were of poor quality and lots of the sauce dripped into the plastic bag. I have ordered here via UberEats multiple times and every time the quality gets worse. The final straw was when everyone who ate got quite sick with explosive diarrhea. I support small business, but this business needs to go out of business like our explosive diarrhea. read more

As of selecting the right app for the right franchise location wasn't bad enough, my dinner was even worse. Besides not having Singapore Mei Fun like just about anywhere else, I got another version and it was "ok". Frankly, it's hard to screw thats one up. I also ordered a quart of wonton soup which had a good broth, however meat in some of the wontons was "off". I don't know it was bad or undercooked, however, something wasn't right and it was noticeable. The worst part though was when I tried my quart of lobster lo mein with had just about no lobster in it. The funny part was that when I did see lobster it was the size of mini prawns that were maybe a half inch each and looked like something that you would get from A can. Unfortunately the "lobster" also tasted rancid. As a result the rice immediately went into the garbage can and this restaurant came off the list for good. Well I can appreciate wontons being off sometimes, serving rancid food and making me sick for a day isn't acceptable and makes me question the ethics of those in the kitchen as well as the owners of this establishment. read more

Soo I have ordered from here pretty regularly as I live nearby. Never expected gourmet Chinese b/c this is more of a "cafeteria" style order restaurant. It's usually okay. Sorta dissatisfied tonight. I specifically asked for spicy/extra spicy & just a basic broccoli w/ garlic sauce so not much involved here. Irregardless they down played the spicy. Boo. Maybe they misunderstood. Who knows. Soo $22+ later, I ate it b/c I was hungry, BUT, not too thrilled w/ Yummy Garden tonight. I won't complain to them, but, know for next time. I w/ say the young man at the counter is always super polite. I'll give them another shot & perhaps just an off night. read more

I ordered from here on Uber Eats when my regular Chinese restaurant was closed. It was a big mistake. I specifically said in the instructions that I have a severe shellfish allergy. I'm eating my sweet and sour chicken and I'm like huh, maybe I should take my inhaler, I might be having an asthma attack. I took my inhaler and went back to my food. The next to last piece I bit into was not chicken - it was shrimp. I had to take my EpiPen. It took me weeks to be refunded and I had to show the proof of my emergency room visit. If they can't follow basic instructions when it comes to an allergy, their kitchen safety is definitely compromised. read more

BLUF: Skip this place for Thai food, flavorless and will leave you wanting real Thai food after just a few bites. Ordered this through Grubhub under a pseudonym, Tai Chi Lunch Box. The receipt was printed under that name and stapled to a Yummy Garden menu. The delivery was quick and the food was well packaged. They used high quality take out containers that are microwave safe and probably reusable if I was so inclined. Unfortunately, the same quality was not represented in their food. We ordered the Red Curry and the Panang Curry. Both dishes were not what I've grown accustomed to after sampling Thai cuisine across six different states. The Panang is usually spicy with sweet undertones of peanut butter and served with potatoes and a variety of other vegetables. Their offering was void of potatoes, which I could have lived with if their sauce was tasty. Regrettably, it was not tasty. No spice, no flavor, nothing. The scallion pancakes ordered where okay, but not tasty enough for us to give this restaurant another visit. There are simply too many reliable offerings to take another chance here and I'd recommend anyone considering making their own opinion about this place do so with caution. read more

Fried rice is a typical staple when I'm ordering from American style Chinese Takeout. As a result, I typically use it as a barometer to determine if a restaurant is worth its salt or not. The rice here is awful and I recommend choosing white rice or substituting with something else. The rice is bright yellow in color and doe not taste good. The shrimp in garlic sauce and crab ragoon were good, but I probably wont be venturing here anytime again in the near future. As mentioned in previous reviews, this is a typical Chinese Takeout joint. I've had some pretty awesome cuisine from takeout in the past from other places, but after visiting this place, the search for quality take out shall continue. read more

Don't waste your time, money, or energy. Rude employees. I ordered a chicken teriyaki over rice "Special Bento Box" through their online system and DID NOT RECEIVE WHAT THE PICTURE OUTLINED ON THEIR WEBSITE. I called numerous times to be given the run around. Finally after several calls and 20 minutes later they told me that they would send a driver over to pick up the food. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? At this juncture, being 20 minutes later, they are NOW just offering a very poor remedy? Ridiculous. Why not take this situation seriously as I'm sure your little establishment is hurting due to COVID. Monroe Ave and the surrounding area has a variety of places to eat. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, OR ENERGY at this restaurant because they clearly don't appreciate your patronage. read more

Yummy Garden - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

Not sure why this place got such bad reviews. For a $6 lunch, I don't think this place can be beat. Very affordable. And normal sized portions too, they don't skimp because of the discount. I ordered general tso with pork fried rice and it was really good. Only thing I didn't love was the chunks of corn and peas in my rice, but minus that it was delish. Also wish it had a bit more brocolli. Meat was crispy and spicy just like I like it. If you need a quick lunch and you're craving chinese, this is the place to go!! read more

Really fast to go service. Not the best Chinese food I've ever had but pretty tasty. Not a sit in place.

Trash don't do it save your money order pizza and wings the place is a joke. Very disappointed 30 dollars wasted crab raggon trash no soda no egg roll never again thanks for listening take it from me read more

Yummy Garden is not going to go down as the best Chinese Take out place, ever.Just not going to happen. Somewhere, on some street there is the best take out place ever, I don't doubt it. But how many of us live near by it? I know I don't. I do live walking distance from Yummy Garden. Their prices are pretty good, pretty average as most take out places are. I really wish they had tarter sauce for when I ordered fried shrimp but it's hardly the end of my world. Pretty decent fried, spicy, sweet, crispy, Asiany flavored chicken,beef,pork,rice and noodles and they won't break the bank. They actually have a few combo's if your not ordering alon and they give you free dessert if you order over $20 of food. I like their fried shrimp with french fries for $5 and their sweet and sour chicken/pork also about $5. Their wontons and rangoons aren't great, maybe a half a notch below average. Egg rolls are egg rolly. No complaints about this place, they are pretty quick too. I ordered some food, put on sandals, walked down to the store and they had my food bagged and ready to go! Can't complain about that! read more

Yummy Garden - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

This place doesn't have the best reviews but every time I've ordered from here it's been some of the best Chinese I've had. Their pork fried rice is perfect. Sweet and sour chicken is crispy. And their crab rangoon is some of the best I've had. Despite reviews, you should give this place a try. read more

I have been going to Yummy Gardens, since they opened up on Lake Avenue in 2001; when Jacob, his brother and dad was running it. I was confident the Meigs Street location, would have that same skill of flavor and cooking............WRONG! My fried rice was not cooked all the way. Really no bean sprouts, WoW. The crab stick, is imitation, which I don't like but it was not bad. It tasted fresh and they are a nice size. I am sticking with the Lake Avenue location. read more

I tried Yummy Garden tonight and it was the WORST Chinese food experience I've ever had. The food was not good, my crab rangoons were HOLLOW! Zero filling, just the outside of the wonton. Egg roll was soggy. The only thing I actually ate a good amount of was the Lo Mein, still sub-par at best.... In addition to lousy food, the delivery driver was rude, and I asked for chopsticks in the bag and they were not included. I'm sorry I tried this place and will never order from Yummy Garden again. read more

Yummy Garden - Hollow crab rangoon with zero filling - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

Excellent food for the lunch special price!!! I got the sesame chicken, pork fried rice that came with it, and a shrimp egg roll that also came with my meal. Took about 50 minutes for delivery. Grubhub had free delivery so I got a great deal and the food tasted great. read more

While this place is not perfect, they have the most satisfying comfort food you could imagine. Crab rangoons are to die for. Great lo mein, sesame chicken and Kung pao chicken. Awesome and cheap lunch deal where you get so much food for such a light price! The people offering counter service are always polite and helpful. Bottom line-- this place is awesome!!! read more

The only thing you need to know is that this place is SOMEHOW under the impression that CHOW MEIN IS SAUTEED VEGGIES. In other words, what kind of Chinese restaurant thinks chow mein is vegetables??? Mein literally means noodles!!! And if you have some "special interpretation", WRITE IT ON THE MENU. This place may be cheap, but it's cheap for a reason cuz they will try to scam you in every way possible. Definitely would recommend going somewhere else. Their only saving grace may be their pretty good milk tea. read more

the food was terrible tasted like toilet water ordered orange chicken beef fried rice and seasami chicken absolutely not sati and threw up don't recommend read more

I ordered via Grub Hub. They were listed under a different name: Thai Chi Lunch Box. I should have been more cautious considering how cheap the 3 entree meal was. I think all 3 meats were boiled and a different sauce was sprinkled on. Then they were crammed on top of one another in a box. The delivery guy practically threw the food at me. I wish I had done a bit of research before ordering. Had I Googled the address, I would have ordered elsewhere. read more

Yummy Garden - Gross Garden - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

Mainly I go here for convenience. Open and delivers later than most places! The food only "meh" a bit on the greasy side, but fits the bill while working 3rd shift at 1 am. Would not be my first choice if there were other options late night. read more

We have ordered takeout from here a bunch of times. It's definitely not super high quality Chinese food, but it's typical takeout with a few good points. They also deliver, which is great. For a while we (husband, brother and I) ordered from them almost weekly. Here's a summary for each of our frequently ordered items: Yummy Chicken: different than anything we had ever had; chicken can be tough, but flavors are pretty good. Sauce is unique and there's a spice to it that's good. Texture of the fried chicken is more like panko breading than other Chinese fried chicken. Veggie Lo Mein: pretty good flavor; not quite as greasy as other places (don't get me wrong, it's still greasy). Scallion Pancakes: good; I love getting these and am not super picky about them (to be fair, they're tough to screw up). Sauce is good. Crab Rangoons: ok, not the best, but satisfying enough Veggie Dumplings: ok; sauce is good. Crispy Sesame Beef: tough beef; more fried stuff than beef, swimming in sauce; not my fav but my brother likes it Sesame Chicken: husband likes it; typical sesame chicken, nothing too special Beef on a Stick: ok, not as good as Shui Asian Fusion Veggie Spring Roll: ok, typical Wonton Soup: not good... too bland; we recommend chef king in Bushnell's Basin for better broth and noodles in particular. read more

Oh-so mediocre! Must agree with Evan R. that this is the place to go if you absolutely can't get out of your PJ's and are ready for some hardcore self-loathing. It's cheap and fast for both delivery and take-out, but Yummy Garden's quality has really declined over the years. The crab wontons are greasy, the egg drop soup is too salty, and the meat is always soft and undercooked. What's more is that they rarely pay attention to special directions such as "extra spicy" or "extra crispy." I typically take a few bites of my order, put the rest in the fridge, and promise myself never again. Yummy Garden's prompt service and late hours are a plus, but that's pretty much it. A phone call to 345 Meigs St. is more like a cry for help. read more

Yummy Garden? More like mediocre restaurant. ZING! Tam Slam! I am tired of eating here all the time but it is so close to my apartment. I am always disappointed when I eat here and I have gotten sick from the food multiple times. Shame on you, "yummy" gardeners. read more

The food is great, only, they didn't give me all of it. I ordered 12 pc and I only got 10.

If you are looking for CHEAP chinese fast food, yummy garden is the place to order from. Their price are standard but they give you free food if you order over a certain dollar amount. My favorite is the free sesame chick (which you can exchange for general tso) if you order over 20$, BEST VALUE in town. Most of their food are standard, meaning they don't have anything that are bad, but they dont have any items that stands out as well. However the egg foo young here is really good and thats what I usually get. The people running this place are friendly and I always have a pleasent experience ordering from them. Overall, this is the best place to order from if you are a college student sick of campus food and want some chinese food to fill your appetite. read more

This is a great spot for Chinese food. They're fast with making the order and quick to pick the phone for phone orders.

I get take out from this place all the time. I especially enjoy the retro vinyl chairs for while you wait. Clutch move. The food is consistently quick, hot and delicious, though we often pick it up so I can't comment on delivery. read more

If i could give a zero I would. The first time I ordered everything tasted fine but a few hours later i had the worst case of the runs and vomiting. I was going to blame them but i thought i was coming down with something. So last Saturday I ordered from them sesame chicken combo with sweet and sour chicken combo. The food was fine again but a few hours later the same thing happened I was vomiting. I dont know what they put in there food but i will never be ordering from them again. If you value your digestive system do not order from here. read more

This place used to serve very delicious Chinese food. The food has really gone downhill in the last few years. Got my usual sesame chicken combo with white rice. Sadly the rice and sesame seeds had more flavor than the chicken. I think my days of ordering from YG is done read more

Best Chinese food I've had since moving to Rochester 2 years ago. Great portions at a very good price. Would recommend for larger groups due to combo-deal offers. Reasons for not giving it a full 5 stars: Parking lot is too small (2 spaces, shares others with 7-Eleven) and clientele is a little too sketch after dark. Got to give this place props for staying open so late (1am, I think). read more

Always good,never had a problem My main Chinese take out go to.Great people.Singapore mai fun is delicious! read more

AVOID!!! General tso's combo, shrimp Lo-mein, coconut shrimp, crab ragoons, a $30+ order. So where to start...we'll It was all very sad, the tso's was not the fried goodness coated in a sweet and spice glaze but meat and veggies in some broth like substance. The coconut shrimp was a heavily breaded mess, mixed with barely cooked broccolie and coconut milk (I'm guessing) just poured over it lazily. Crab ragoons, definitely homemade and poorly fried, i made better at home. The only thing they had that met expectations was the Lo-mein, decent but super tiny shrimp, a regular dish none the same. The kids working there either seem sad or just don't care as their owners run a joke of a Chinese restaurant.... read more

The customer service is pathetic. I ordered food from them several times and they are quite nasty on the phone and in person. The older woman at the counter is so rude that she cut me off and wouldn't let me continue speaking. We ordered food and my husband wanted to stay and eat in. The woman attempted to charge us two times. Once for our food and then for the server when we didn't need utensils we have never ever treated so rudely at an Asian restaurant. She tried to keep our credit card so she could charge me a second time. Extremely rude!!! Don't waste your time their food ain't all that. They won't ever get a dime from us again. read more

Yummy Garden is perfect for a cheap and delicious vegetarian meal. I ordered broccoli with garlic sauce, vegetable lo mein, and a vegetable egg roll. All three items were delicious and some of the best that I have tasted in the East end/south wedge. This is definitely my new go to spot for Chinese take out. Also it is very convenient that there is a parking lot located at the restaurant. Will be ordering again soon!! read more
