The food is always amazing here. I personally love the Generals and noodles. The crab rangoon, house rice, wonton soup and donuts are also favorites. You don't leave hungry!
I love there shrimp lo main, general toso chicken,egg rolls and egg drop soup. I only order takeout because the restaurant is pretty small. The people there are also nice and always get my order correct.
I got exactly what I ordered, and it is damn good, I drive over the road and I will definitely stop here again for the black pepper chicken lo mein, half the places I got to say they don't have it or just won't make it. They were fast on making it too, I give em I'll be back ????????
First time trying out China Garden. I got chicken & cashew with pork fried rice, reg rice and two spring rolls. It was really good! I'll certainly be trying out this place more often.
Great place to get a quick, tasty lunch. We get takeout at least once per week. Have tried several dishes but my favorites are the Roast Pork Egg Foo Young and the Sesame Chicken. The Egg Foo Young is light, fluffy and full of flavor. Occasionally there are too many onions, but I pick the extras out! The portion is nice and I generally have leftovers. The Sesame Chicken is seasoned and fried perfectly and the sauce is great. Because it is in sauce it does not keep well for leftovers, but honestly, it is rare that I have leftovers of this one! It is that good!
This place is so good that my family and I drive an hour to get it. Never disappoints whether it is food or service. Always fast when it comes to preparing and food is always delicious. The staff is really nice which is refreshing since most of the other Chinese restaurants near me are quite rude.
