A quiet, humble family place. Friendly, attentive service. The quality of the food is excellent, very fresh. There's crunch to the large chucks of veggies and the sauces are rich and flavorful without being gummy/sticky. Value is excellent. My plate of tofu and veggies was huge for $8.50. With egg roll, wonton soup, rice, and a pot of tea, I was stuffed for under $25 (including tax and tip).
Amazing food all around. Very pleasant and polite staff. And the establishment itself was very clean .10/10 would recommend im definitely coming back
2023 I felt like fish today and Jenny Ma recommended the whole fish w garlic sauce. It was DELICIOUS. The sauce was garlicky and a little sweet, the skin was extra crispy. The entire fish was decimated, all we left were a few bones! Highly recommend China Garden. Old standard, they never disappoint. Their soups are medicine in my house when any of us has a cold. Thank you Jenny Ma.
2020 The food is delicious. They dont mind special requests. I think it's getting better every year. Their Gen Tsao chicken is "addictive" according to my daughter. Mom gets sesame chicken "extra crispy". I love their seafood dishes and mooshoo. Oh, their ribs are juicy not dry. The spring rolls are flaky and light. Have loved their food for years. So glad they're in my neighborhood.
The egg drop soup and buffalo wings and garlic wings were amazing !! Food came fast and tasted great !! Server acted a bit odd “sit where ever you like” “but don’t sit there it’s dirty” did that to several people who walked in , kinda odd you gotta tell the folks where to sit as server , also said “ your running us out of business “ when I simply asked for extra napkins . Despite that food was great my drinks were refilled quickly so 5 stars !!but did want to mention those small things , will definetly keep coming here !!
So this has been nearly 25 years in the making but stay with me.
Eat here!
We got takeout last night - Phoenix and Dragon and Happy family. It was very very good. Huge portion, delicious, quick, correct. I took off one star because the Phoenix was missing most of the vegetable pictured - but was still very very good. We will definitely order again soon. I'll ask for more vegetables or maybe dine in and ask for guidance.
And now the back story. We've lived in this neighborhood for 25 years, they've been here about that long. We try them every 3 or 4 years because they are close and easy. Until last night we always say "Nope, still a giant disappointment". Always different items, eat in or take out, just a big no thanks.
So glad we gave them another try. They must be under "relatively" new management. So my point is, if your experience is not recent, give them another try!!!
