I had been to the Super L Ranch Market next door at the Cofco Chinese Cultural Center, and was craving Chinese food so I headed for Beijing Garden Chinese for a late lunch. As I approached the entrance, a group of 4 diners came out - headed to their car. I asked them how they enjoyed their meal. One of them said he really enjoyed his shrimp dish, but the others didn't want to comment. Since the one gentleman was enthusiastic, I decided to continue inside. As I entered, I was greeted and led right away to a table near the kitchen entrance. As I took my seat, I could see that the plates on the table in front of me were both chipped. I asked for a plate that wasn't chipped, and it took my server a minute to find one which she switched from another table before she delivered a glass of water, and left me with the menu. Looking around, I noticed that there were very few diners present. The menu was quite extensive and a bit overwhelming. It helped somewhat that photos of some of the dishes were included, but dishes were less than completely described, providing little sense of flavor profiles, or how one sauce might compare to another. I love vegetables, and wanted to be sure that whatever dish I ordered had plenty of them, in addition to meat or seafood. Understand that by vegetables, I mean nutritious vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, snow peas and the like, not just onions and bell peppers or celery. I also wanted lots of flavor as opposed to a bland dish. The more I studied the menu, the more questions I had about the various preparations, but for at least 10 minutes, no one came within hailing distance of my table. Finally, with a couple of potential items in mind, and a host of questions, I closed my menu and put it down. Only at that point did my server re-appear. She wasn't particularly helpful in terms of being able to describe flavors of the dishes, and we appeared to be having some language barrier difficulties. I had been leaning to the Beef with Broccoli, perhaps with garlic sauce instead of brown sauce. After explaining that the garlic sauce was a white sauce that they used with chicken. She indicated that I should just get #82, the Beef with Black Pepper Sauce in Sizzling Plate, which had more spice. I finally convinced her to have Broccoli added to the #82 after clarifying that bell peppers and onions were not sufficient to meet my taste for vegetables. When I asked if they could add a level of spice to the dish, she said no, but she would bring me some hot oil. While not busy at all, she appeared frustrated by my questions, so I left it at that, in addition to some hot tea - hoping for the best. She brought my tea almost immediately, along with a dish of white rice covered by a bowl, and hot chili oil. I opened my book (dining alone, I always carry one) poured some tea, and settled in to wait for my meal which I thought would be out in short order since the rice had already been brought. After a good while, a young man set a heated metal plate in a wooden base before me. From a white soup bowl, he poured my beef dish onto the hot plate where the ingredients at the bottom against the plate began to sizzle and give off a delicious aroma. The slivers of beef were in a bit of sauce, and were clearly seasoned with black pepper. The beef apparently had been sautéed with pieces of bell pepper and onions about the size of quarters, and broccoli. Overall it smelled wonderful, and looked appetizing, and the portion size was generous. I spooned rice, which I realized was now barely warm, and the beef dish onto my plate. After an initial taste, I added Chili Oil to my plate, and to the remainder of the beef dish. The dish was overly salty overall - although not too salty to eat initially, provided each mouthful included lots of rice. After my first few bites, I realized that not only was the rice not hot, but neither was the beef dish. I found that by digging to the bottom of the metal plate, I could find meat and vegetables that were warmer and almost hot. Each bite tasted overwhelmingly of black pepper. I soon gave up trying to eat it, poured some more tea, and went back to reading my book. No one bothered to approach my table for another 15 minutes - this time I checked my watch... When someone did return, it was with my check. No one ever asked me how my food was, or if I wanted a take-out container for the large amount of remaining food. They simply removed it. When they saw that I had produced my credit card, they came to collect it right away, and returned in very short order with my card, my receipt, and a fortune cookie, and left my table with no further comment. Overall, my experience was disappointing. There may be wonderful things on the menu, but they are not helpful at assisting you with finding them.

I'm gonna give this a 3.5 star review even if I can threw Yelp. Let me start out by saying the service here is outstanding. And even the pricing too! The food is where it looses stars for me. For being literally in a Chinese cultural center I would expect amazing across the world dining. But sadly the food was mediocre at best. It wasn't horrible , but not worthy to say hey let's take a trip to eat Service: 5/5. I could not even get half way down my drink before they filled it up. When I ate my egg drop soup and side dishes, the dishes were taken immediately when empty. The servers were nice and prompt. Pricing: 5/5. Although probably the ultimate downfall of the quality of food, we were blown away to see a 5.95 LIST of meals which included egg roll soup entree and rice. Bill with tip was 8.50 Food: 3/5. The "sesame chicken" was a downfall from the first bite. I was expecting sweet yummness and all I got was a flat doughy fried taste :( There was no sweetness at all and the color must have been food coloring since it looked like darken brown chicken. I do give a little bit of redemption on there rice. It was actually very tasty. But all in all Rice should not be the winner of lunch.

This is pretty authentic stuff. You get the feeling you're eating in Chinatown. Staff is friendly, but you can tell there is a bit of a language barrier. The prices are very reasonable. And the food choices vary from "traditional" Americanized Chinese food to dishes like Pig Kidney and Chicken Cartilage. I thought the food was very good. I ordered the spicy pork with chilies. A cook came out from the back, with better English skills, to make sure I understood it was spicy and that I could handle it. Yes, it was spicy, but I've had spicier. Most importantly, it had good flavor. It may not have been the prime cuts off pork, but that's traditional. The portion size was quite generous. I don't live in Phoenix, so I may not go back, but I definitely would if in the mood for a more traditional meal.

We came here for a surprise birthday party. We had about 30 people. The place was clean. Some of the dishes were good & some of the dishes were ok. We have 3 different appetizers (cold noodles with beef, veggie platter, etc.); roasted duck (not bad); spicy fried pork chops (good); seafood on rice crackers (good), soup (didn't know it had noodles and goodies in the bottom of the pot), etc. I would come back to pick things that I would like to try next time.
(3)Sean L.
Authentic as? There were meats on the menu I didn't know you could eat. I had the chicken fried rice and that was ok. I probably won't go back but only because the food was a bit far out for me. The service was good and the people were nice. A mix of cultures were in there eating. Sorry for the poor score - just not my cup of tea.

I've been to China. This reminds me of the real thing. Authentic, good prices, and so delicious. Never ordered something bad here.

It was only 4:30pm but had a case of the hungries so went to Beijing Garden for an early dinner. They were empty but love being the only people in the restaurant. Usually get great service and today was no exception. Started with jasmine tea, don't get the black tea when jasmine is available, it is so much better. Wife ordered and we got thinly sliced pork with bamboo and fried tofu. There is also sliced leaks and celery. It is one of my favorites. Pretty healthy and tastes awesome. I could eat most of it myself. Also had the sliced pork and rice cakes (mochi for you Japanese aficionados). This is sautéed with salted mustard cabbage which is just amazing. One of my favorite vegetables. Got to find out how they make it. Rice cakes are tender and flavorful. Those two dishes are not your run of the mill. They have orange chicken and Kung pao too but you can get that at Panda Express. The one thing that I want to try is the Peking Duck but you need to call ahead. Perhaps next time.

It's a good Chinese traditional foods restaurant. Last time we 10 people ate there, and so many special and traditional dishes that other restaurant doesn't have. It is very hard to find a very traditional restaurant in unite states, but this one does. Definitely I will be back again.
(4)Felix K.
Food is awesome, of course mostly spicy food but good authentic chinese better than some restaurant in philly ctown It it worst to try

Just got off the plane and wanted to get some beer and snacks at Ranch 99 market so we decided to get a quick bite to eat next door at Beijing Garden. It was 2:30 and all the other restaurants were closed. I had been there before when it as another Chinese restaurant. The decor was the same. The menu was colorful and extensive. We were the only ones in the place from beginning to end of the meal. We ordered two dishes the rice noodle soup and the house special crispy fried noodles. The Crispy Noodles had chicken, pork and shrimp and was OK 3 stars. The other rice noodle soup was terrible. A little ground pork in a bland greasy pork broth and some thin rice noodles. no stars. see pics. It comes spicy and they way it's spiced is the waiter gives you some siracha to add. The people who work there didn't know their own dishes. Sorry but, I don't think I will be coming back. Also, they turned a nicely decorated restaurant and added some stainless steel hot food tables in the back. It makes the place look like a cheap street food stand in the back of a Hutong open air market in Beijing.

Quite good! Despite the mediocre reviews, I found that one look at the menu would indicate that this restaurant knows what it's doing. There are many authentic items that are, if not perfect, very decently cooked- but if you factor in the prices, your meal becomes a steal. It's true that there are some waiters who are very unfamiliar with the menu; the first waiter who came to my family's table couldn't make any suggestions. Thankfully, my mom has no tact :0 and asked if there was a more knowledgeable waiter who could take our order. There was (!) and she made excellent suggestions, straight up steering us away from dishes she didn't find well-cooked, and suggesting some of the chef's signature dishes. After our first go-around, my family ate here on multiple nights, ordering delicious dishes like the: suan ni bai rou (thin-sliced spicy garlic pork belly; really amazing), the soup dumplings, the xue cai cau nuan gau (tender, chewy rice cakes with slivered pork and pickled veggies; SO GOOD!), the stir-fried bean curd with pork, the jiao yen pai gu (deep-fried salt & pepper jalapeno pork chops), the zi cai he (chive, shrimp, pork and vermicelli pockets) the yang rou cuan (cumin-spiced roasted lamb skewers), the gan bien si ji dou (dry-fried string beans)... and the list goes on. We don't believe in moderation. :) Items we ordered that I would not suggest (but were honestly fine by Southwestern standards; it's just that when there are so many better menu items, why bother?) were: The hong sao niu rou tang (red cooked beef noodle soup), the yang rou suan cai tang (pickled cabbage, vermicelli and lamb soup- I'm thinking soups are not their forte) the green onion pancakes, the hai xian jian mien (crispy fried seafood noodles), the cong bao yang rou (stir-fried lamb and scallions), and the cao A-cai (stir-fried garlic Arden lettuce). For a family of 5 adults and 2 children to scarf down all the food they could (and we can really put it away), and then take home another dinner's worth of leftovers, our bill came in at under $100, 20% tip included. My Chinese homies starving for an authentic meal- definitely stop by. You'll find something you enjoy.

Authentic traditional non-Americanized Chinese: some dim sum & servers fave hot & spicy beef. Very gracious staff.
(5)Ray K.
Here for 2 nights and was recommended to visit this place. Ordered one dish veggie and shrimp dish. It was really good. Got some egg rolls and they were just ok.
(4)Qa'ed M.
Service is awful, even for Chinese people (I'm Chinese, so I am socially qualified to make that statement.) Food is good occasionally, but I question their hygienic standards. For example, I know that Peking duck is not supposed to taste rancid. It tasted rancid twice in my frequent visits, and I eat there mostly because my in-laws like the place. "The duck tastes off." I said. "No it doesn't." said the waitress without missing a beat. Once, while dining with my toddler son, my wife asked if they had anything for him to drink along with his water. We asked for milk or orange juice, both of which they had none. "What do you give kids, then?" asked my wife. "Just give him soda." said the waitress. My father-in-law decided to have the Special of the Day. "We don't have the Special of the Day." said the waitress, her deadpan face never betraying the dripping irony of the statement. The manager came out soon thereafter. "Sorry, we don't have the special of the day today, sir. Can I get you the wonderful fresh cod that we're known for? It's steamed with traditional spices for half an hour and served on a bed of greens-- a delight to the taste, especially with a splash of light Pinot Noir." ... is what he never said. Instead, the cap-and-jeans dude looked irritated and said, "Get number 44. We don't have special. Get 44." "What's 44?" "It's good." And he walked away.

Food is good but not great Service was fast And friendly got the orange chicken lunch combo not sure that I'll be back I guess I'm just used to Panda Express which is no way similar to their orange chicken
(3)Britt C.
My parent's wanted to try this place out, I was a little wary because of the reviews but I thought it was pretty good. We ordered the following: Garlic Chicken: very flavorful, with sliced garlic Pork & Bean Curd - Also very good, slices of pressed tofu with a brown sauce, skimpy on the pork though Scallion Pancakes - very tasty, light and fluffy Pork & Cabbage Dumplings - flavorful fresh dumplings I really liked that they had a dim-sum menu so we could try a few more things, there were also a lot of items that I haven't heard of and would like to try. The service was good too. Dinner for 3 of us was $30, I will definitely return.

Bad business move: I have been going to Beijing Garden at the Chinese Cultural Center for three weeks now as I've been rehabbing my hand across the street. Every Monday I have ordered two lunch specials for myself and my wife trying out different lunch entrées with their lunch special which they advertise both outside on their billboard and inside on the lunch menu. Their advertised lunch includes soup, and egg roll and rice. For the past two weeks I've ordered hot and sour soup for both of us as our side soup. I was told that hot and sour soup and egg drop soup are the two options available as part of the lunch. Good. I like Hot and sour soup...not so much egg drop soup. One thing to note: when I ordered my lunch for the first time, an older maître d' lady told me that they no longer offer soup as part of the lunch even though it's advertised but said I can have the soup like she was doing me some grand favor. I didn't make a big deal out of it at the time but I could have pointed out that since she advertised the soup is part of the lunch she therefore by law has to offer soup or take down her advertisements and replace them with something that fairly advertises what she purports to serve. Okay, this might be me being a little asinine but hey I got the hot and sour soup as part of our first-order. I let it slide. The next week I came in I again ordered two lunch specials with two hot and sour soups. I asked the gentleman who took my order at the front register if soup usually comes with the lunch and he said yes and he reiterated that my options are hot and sour soup and egg drop soup. One thing to note is that when I did get to my two hot and sour soups, both containers were only half filled. Annoying, but again I let it slide without a fuss. Today I went back prior to physical therapy ready to try out another two lunch entrées, getting to know the restaurants better and fast becoming a Monday regular. Once again I encounter the older maître d' lady. After ordering my two lunch entrées I requested hot and sour soup as my soup of choice for lunch and she immediately tells me no. "We do not offer that anymore" she says. "You don't have hot and sour soup", I ask. "No, you cannot have hot and sour soup" she replies. I'm like "what you talking about? You just change your policy this Monday?" Her reply was no. We don't offer that anymore. So I'm a little taken back and I tell her "look, I got hot and sour soup last week and hot and sour soup the week before last week so why are you tell me I can't get it today?" What she said next didn't make a heck of a lot of sense but she told me she only offered it before because the restaurant was busy. I look around the restaurant and it's practically empty. I ask her "are you telling me that you don't have hot and sour soup ready to go because you're not busy right now?" She replies "no. You can order hot and sour soup on the side." "So you do have hot and sour soup". She says yes. So I ask "why can't I have the hot and sour soup as the soup with lunch?" She replies "no hot and sour, egg drop". So I tell her "I don't like egg drop soup". She says "that's what you get". So I tell her "this is ridiculous. You rather lose me as a regular customer for no reason at all other then 'I don't want to give it to you' even though you served to me the last two weeks?" She asks "you don't want egg drop?" I tell her "no. I don't like egg drop soup. I don't want egg drop soup. I want the hot and sour soup" which is been part of your menu for the past two weeks as part of the lunch special. She tells me again I can't have it. So I tell her "well I don't want your lunch. Just give me what my wife ordered, I don't want the other order". She asks me "you don't want the other order?" I tell her "no. I am never ordering anything for you guys again". You had me as a regular customer and now you have lost me because for no reason whatsoever you got to make a big stink about the hot and sour soup. This is bad for business. This is so utterly stupid. What's so special about your hot and sour soup that you have to make such a stink about it that you're going to disenfranchise a new loyal customer and send him out your restaurant so pissed off that he would sit here now and write out this diatribe? Wow! It's like something straight out of Seinfeld. No soup for you! In any case, for customer service zero stars. To be fair to review, the Mongolian beef is good, the black pepper shrimp is good but the garlic chicken, the beef broccoli and the orange chicken are quite pedestrian and no better than PF Chang's. Actually PF Chang's beef broccoli is probably better. But the hot and sour soup? Pretty good if they would actually serve it to me. Not a big fan of the egg drop soup.

Food was good- ok. I had the lunch special- almond chicken. They give you a good amount of food for the price. I would eat here again if in the Chinese Cultural Center- but would not make a special trip.
(3)Scott S.
My new favorite Chinese restaurant in the east Phoenix metro area. Enjoyed all three dishes we had - not exactly sure of the names because my guests (who, unlike me, had been there before) ordered in Chinese, but I think we had Triple Delight, General Tso's Chicken, and one other dish. Very reasonably priced, and good service. I prefer Beijing Garden over Szechwan Palace (in the same complex), though I have had many good meals at SP in the past.

First off, those of you that expect a suburban mall type of Chinese place will be disappointed. Secondly, those of you who have never really eaten Chinese food will also be disappointed. How can I say this? I spent many years eating wonderfully Chinese foods in and around Chinatown San Francisco and have been to proper formal Chinese dinners. I'm looking at reviews to my right as a write that illustrate this point exactly, "...meats on the menu I didn't know you could eat..." What I can say to these people with mall expectations; stick with Panda Express, it's just for you. There are two kinds of Chinese restaurants, the kind in the strip malls that cater to suburbia, and then there's the kind that cater to Chinese. This is the later with a menu that is amazing! First off we went later than lunch and earlier than dinner. This afforded us a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I mentioned the menu? It was extensive, but they had my husband's favorite, Beef Chow Fun! I ordered the Orange Pepper Beef (not to be confused with that Orange Chicken they serve at the mall). Both came with superbly sticky rice too. A final Dim Sum we enjoyed was a Beef roll which we had for a snack later that evening. The Orange Pepper Beef I had enjoyed a light sauce that didn't overpower the beef and just the right amount of pepper so as to infuse the dish, but again not overpower it. The Chow Fun was, my husband declared, one of the best since he'd left San Francisco and moved to Arizona! Again, the sauce complimented the meat but didn't overpower it and there were ample green scallions to make anyone happy! Next time we go, he'll have the Brazed Beef and Wonton noodle soup that kept tempting him... Service was present but not in our way, isn't that the way you like it? As for the overall cost? Well priced for the selection -
(4)O'Zandra F.
I've frequent this establishment a couple of times for takeout. Each time I got the hot and sour soup. I decided to dine in tonight because I wasn't feeling well. The restaurant was half full, yet quiet. My hearty shrimp in lobster sauce was delicious and filling. I didn't realize just how hungry I was until I saw the bottom of the dish! The staff was very pleasant, but they speak Chinese. I found it difficult to understand them at times. They sent their best English-speaking guy to my table and I was able to order a dish that wasn't on the menu (yay!).
(4)Tanda M.
Located in a shopping center next to a huge supermarket, I should've known better. Might have been the worst chinese food I've ever had. The veggie fried rice was bland. I added chicken. Honestly, it was mystery meat and it was undercooked. Horrible. The spring rolls must have been frozen, freezer burned and dropped into a deep fryer. They were hard and stale by the time they got to me. I ate one of the two. I had a Sprite with a slice of lemon. Best part of my meal. The service wasn't great either. My waitress really tried to be nice. She clearly has not had much interaction with people of color. Upon entering I asked one woman if they were still honoring the lunch special as I was just moments past the lunch special hours. She must not have spoken English that day or at all. All she did was point to the other young lady who ended up being my waitress. She didn't appear to want to be there and refused to honor the lunch special by a few minutes. She wasn't warm or cordial. I was already turned off at that point. She took my order, brought my glass with ice and a dirty can of Sprite. After getting my food I refused to pay for the mystery meat and literally picked out every piece. It was not chicken! I also asked for no mushrooms. I had them in my rice. They did take the price I paid for the meat off my bill. Honestly, if it wasn't 109 degrees out and I wasn't hungry and needed to kill time, I would have never eaten here. It's my own fault. I should've Yelped it before I decided to eat here. So disappointing. I wanted to like it.

You can find authentic Chinese food here, but I feel as though they're selling out offering Americanized food here as well. I asked the waitress for recommendations and she recommended the Sizzling Beef plate and the Ranch Chicken dish. I ordered crab puffs (girlfriend's guilty pleasure) and the sizzling rice seafood soup. The puff were subpar; severely understuffed and over-fried. The seafood soup was great. The two dishes she recommended were super salty. Both of the proteins got the corn starch treatment. I expected it from the beef because we all know the texture from Beef and Broccoli and all Chinese restaurants. But getting that chewy but tender texture from the chicken was new. It was okay but I do know that both of these dishes were incredibly salty! We are thinking of going back for the duck because it seems like they dedicate a big portion of their business to this. You just need to preorder it in advance.
(3)Rachel G.
Love love love this place! It's next to impossible to find decent let alone good Chinese food in Phoenix. They actually have real Chinese food! We had the wonton soup, spicy chicken chili (like a hot pot) and pork dumplings. All were delicious and amazing and I will definitely be back for more!
(5)Jacob P.
Food here is very tasty and the wait time was minimal. We had 5 people, all ordered different dishes, and ate it family style. Each dish was delicious and couldn't be more satisfied. The chow mein and sweet and sour chicken was amazing and I would definitely recommend. The service was mediocre, they weren't good but they weren't horrible either. All in all I will definitely be back
(4)Ken G.
A little conflicted here. The food was a solid four stars. The portions were ample and the taste was spot on. The "service" on the other hand is non-existent. My server was unfriendly and hurried. Not the normal all business type that you usually get in Asian restaurants, but just plain horrible at his job. Came up to the table and just stood there looking out the window...not a word to me, just stood there. You can get the same good food elsewhere with better service and cheaper prices. Don't bother here.
(2)Brandon K.
I have not had the chance to try anything other then their soup. However, the soup hear is addicting. At least their spicy beef nuddle soup is. I always get my soup to go and find they give you a lot of it. Sadly, the portions you get, really are over priced at it nearly $9.00 tub-to-go. That's one reason for the rating I have chosen to give it. Now the people are friendly here, the place is clean and food does not take that long. At least thw soup does not. Your on you own guessing how long it will take to get othet foods. So far I lije this place and will return.
(3)Yvonne G.
Had a lunch special today as a takeout. I couldn't believe the prices of the lunch specials starting at 5.95 for: choice of dish, choice of rice, egg roll and soup. There were also specials in the 6.95 and 7.95 pricing depending on what you wanted to eat. For the 5.95 that I selected, I had shredded pork with dried tofu. The died tofu intrigued me as I had never had it before. I asked that it be made spicy. My choice of rice was brown rice which is usually up charged in chinese restaurants. Not here. I also got the egg drop soup and an egg roll with the order. Despite great value on this meal and the generosity of the portion, I would not have called the dish tasty. Usually pork dishes taste really good. There was some spiciness as requested but it was made spicy by using hot szechuan oil which made the dish quite a bit greasy. The egg roll and egg drop soup were fine, but nothing to write home about. I hope that restaurants in the Chinese Cultural Center up their game. They should be serving some of the best Chinese food in Phoenix.

I was very excited to find Peking Duck highlighted on the front of this restaurant as I walked by. A few days later I called ahead to ensure they had time to prepare properly. With great anticipation I arrived to discover very poor approximation of the real thing. The skin was not separated from a large layer of fat (yuk!), meat was overcooked, pancakes were thick and incorrect. Maybe some of the other dishes are good (I didn't try any), but the Peking Duck ... bu hao chi!
(2)Krista H.
Great food! FYI... state the dish name and do not use the number affiliated with each entree. The waitress did mess up one of the meals as we ordered based on the number, other then that I had a great time and left satisfied.
(4)Ying J.
My favorite dish is flog leg casserole. I love it so much. I went there many time due to missing this dishes. Some people afraid of flog legs. They think it is very terrible. I didn't like flog before I ate this, after I tried that, I cannot stop love with it. Actually, flog leg is like chicken leg, but it is more fresh and tender than chicken. Beside of flog legs, it has some vegetables in it, like lotus root. The cooker will have deal with on flog leg, than put legs and vegetable into casserole with some spicy sauce to fried. There will be a small cooking range with the casserole to keep the dish keep warm.
(4)Tracey K.
My daughter and I ate here and thought the food was good. We ordered spring rolls, eggplant in garlic sauce and the sweet & pungent potatoes. It was a little difficult communicating because of the language barrier though.
(4)T P.
I am in Phoenix for work and was craving Chinese food since I would be spending Friday night in my hotel room. I ordered the beef chow fun and Chinese broccoli to go at 5:00 p.m. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes. Customer service: friendly, quick and hassle free. They accept all credit cards, including American Express - bonus! Food: big portion size, chow fun was delicious/tons of beef and Chinese broccoli was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I will definitely return and recommend. For the price, customer service and quality of food, this is a definite keeper.
(5)C.K. L.
Went there with my co-workers this past weekend after a long day working at the Chinese New Year's Festival. We didn't get there until 8:30pm and the restaurant closes at 9:30pm. We know the owner there and we want to try it out and see how the food taste. It wasn't very busy because it's already late at night and they close in an hour, we sat in the middle of the restaurant and Paul (one of the manager) helped us out with ordering. All of the food items from the menu looked delicious, we ordered a noodle, bean curd, and a chicken dish. Personally I won't go back again because the prices are so high and the food portion isn't all that enough for the price we paid. Four of us went and we paid $30 before tips.

I had an appointment in the area and decided to go here for a late lunch. It was just after 2 pm. I looked at the extensive menus outside and was disappointed I didn't see moo shu pork anywhere on the menu. I decided to get the lunch special General Tso's chicken. It came with soup, rice, and an egg roll. They brought out egg drop soup automatically. It tasted exactly like packaged chicken broth with a little egg in it. Then the chicken came out and I'm guessing they fried the chicken at 10 am and had been under a heat lamp since then. It was dried out, tasteless, and tasted burnt in places. They put it in what seemed to be sweet and sour sauce straight from a bottle with no extra spices or seasoning and threw some overcooked snow peas in there. It came with a scoop of plain white rice. I tried the egg roll and the wrapper was fried crispy, but that was the best part of it. I couldn't identify any ingredients in the egg roll. I couldn't tell you if it had meat of cabbage or anything in it. It was just a glob of something. The frozen egg rolls that I get from Sam's and stick in the oven turn out better.

I came here after my graduation ceremony to celebrate with my family. The service was horrible, for lack of a better word. We didn't leave a tip due to the service. The owner came and asked me why there was no tip and I thought it would be for constructive criticism but he started arguing with me instead. In addition, he made a racist comment. Very unprofessional. He was in denial that they offered terrible service and refused to listen to what I had to say to improve their service. I have never experience such treatment or service and I eat out daily. To top it off, the food was salty. There is a Chinese restaurant next to this one, Szechwan Palace, that offers better service and food...go there instead.

Well I read some of the other reviews and we must have hit it on a great day because the food was hot, prepared to order (Hunan Shrimp was extra spicy and loaded with big ol' shrimp), and everything tasted great. The servers were attentive and didn't have to be asked to fill drinks, bring a few extra napkins, etc. Lots of dishes under 10 bucks and a similar amount in the 13-16 dollar range. Portions are big enough to share. The menu is quite extensive - I'm not into frogs, but you can get them. The dining room was tidy and well arranged. They were busy but we didn't feel cramped for space. Overall nice place and tasty food. I'll go back.

Outstanding, authentic, Chinese food. Fresh ingredients. Delicious Peking Duck. Go here. We found it by accident. Highly recommended.

Outstanding food and service. Will go back.

Excellent restaurant for the Beijing style. It's a bit on the expensive side (Why in the world are the beef wraps 8 bucks?) It has all the staples you come to expect from Northern Chinese food, and the items I ordered leaned toward the delicious side. I ordered a beef stew noodles, tofu and pork strands, and of course the beef wraps. Although the noodles aren't hand made, and everything else is pretty basic, I honestly can't find much to complain about. Beijing Garden is good, and I will definitely go there again.

Expensive and nothing delicious. Never go there again

I am shocked by some of these reviews. This is simply the best Chinese food that I have ever had in town. The lunch specials are outstanding and more food than most can eat for under $6.00. I have tried evey one of the lunch specials and enjoyed all. I have brought several people to the resteraunt and they have all loved the place. The staff is great and Paul is a great guy that knows the menu very well. Also, this is the BEST hot and sour soup without a doubt....highly recommend. I had stopped going to the previous resteraunt at this location because of poor quality.
(5)Susan H.
In spite of the mixed reviews, I decided to give them a try. Oh! What a mistake! I went there in attempt to get some lunch, but with no success! I cannot comment on the food since no one took my order even though I've alerted 2 different staff members that I was ready to order. When I walked in, the lady just gave me a menu and told me to seat myself. Then, there was no table settings or anyone asking if I wanted tea or water....a few minutes later, someone just dropped off a tumbler of iced water and walked away...then another few minutes later, another lady brought silverware and napkin...then no one came to the table to take my order. The waitress with glasses and long hair was just too busy making sure that people paid their bills while the male waiter was too slow...all I can say is, based on the level of service...it's a 1 star at best.

Bad business move: I have been going to Beijing Garden at the Chinese Cultural Center for three weeks now as I've been rehabbing my hand across the street. Every Monday I have ordered two lunch specials for myself and my wife trying out different lunch entrées with their lunch special which they advertise both outside on their billboard and inside on the lunch menu. Their advertised lunch includes soup, and egg roll and rice. For the past two weeks I've ordered hot and sour soup for both of us as our side soup. I was told that hot and sour soup and egg drop soup are the two options available as part of the lunch. Good. I like Hot and sour soup...not so much egg drop soup. One thing to note: when I ordered my lunch for the first time, an older maître d' lady told me that they no longer offer soup as part of the lunch even though it's advertised but said I can have the soup like she was doing me some grand favor. I didn't make a big deal out of it at the time but I could have pointed out that since she advertised the soup is part of the lunch she therefore by law has to offer soup or take down her advertisements and replace them with something that fairly advertises what she purports to serve. Okay, this might be me being a little asinine but hey I got the hot and sour soup as part of our first-order. I let it slide. The next week I came in I again ordered two lunch specials with two hot and sour soups. I asked the gentleman who took my order at the front register if soup usually comes with the lunch and he said yes and he reiterated that my options are hot and sour soup and egg drop soup. One thing to note is that when I did get to my two hot and sour soups, both containers were only half filled. Annoying, but again I let it slide without a fuss. Today I went back prior to physical therapy ready to try out another two lunch entrées, getting to know the restaurants better and fast becoming a Monday regular. Once again I encounter the older maître d' lady. After ordering my two lunch entrées I requested hot and sour soup as my soup of choice for lunch and she immediately tells me no. "We do not offer that anymore" she says. "You don't have hot and sour soup", I ask. "No, you cannot have hot and sour soup" she replies. I'm like "what you talking about? You just change your policy this Monday?" Her reply was no. We don't offer that anymore. So I'm a little taken back and I tell her "look, I got hot and sour soup last week and hot and sour soup the week before last week so why are you tell me I can't get it today?" What she said next didn't make a heck of a lot of sense but she told me she only offered it before because the restaurant was busy. I look around the restaurant and it's practically empty. I ask her "are you telling me that you don't have hot and sour soup ready to go because you're not busy right now?" She replies "no. You can order hot and sour soup on the side." "So you do have hot and sour soup". She says yes. So I ask "why can't I have the hot and sour soup as the soup with lunch?" She replies "no hot and sour, egg drop". So I tell her "I don't like egg drop soup". She says "that's what you get". So I tell her "this is ridiculous. You rather lose me as a regular customer for no reason at all other then 'I don't want to give it to you' even though you served to me the last two weeks?" She asks "you don't want egg drop?" I tell her "no. I don't like egg drop soup. I don't want egg drop soup. I want the hot and sour soup" which is been part of your menu for the past two weeks as part of the lunch special. She tells me again I can't have it. So I tell her "well I don't want your lunch. Just give me what my wife ordered, I don't want the other order". She asks me "you don't want the other order?" I tell her "no. I am never ordering anything for you guys again". You had me as a regular customer and now you have lost me because for no reason whatsoever you got to make a big stink about the hot and sour soup. This is bad for business. This is so utterly stupid. What's so special about your hot and sour soup that you have to make such a stink about it that you're going to disenfranchise a new loyal customer and send him out your restaurant so pissed off that he would sit here now and write out this diatribe? Wow! It's like something straight out of Seinfeld. No soup for you! In any case, for customer service zero stars. To be fair to review, the Mongolian beef is good, the black pepper shrimp is good but the garlic chicken, the beef broccoli and the orange chicken are quite pedestrian and no better than PF Chang's. Actually PF Chang's beef broccoli is probably better. But the hot and sour soup? Pretty good if they would actually serve it to me. Not a big fan of the egg drop soup.
(1)O'Zandra F.
I've frequent this establishment a couple of times for takeout. Each time I got the hot and sour soup. I decided to dine in tonight because I wasn't feeling well. The restaurant was half full, yet quiet. My hearty shrimp in lobster sauce was delicious and filling. I didn't realize just how hungry I was until I saw the bottom of the dish! The staff was very pleasant, but they speak Chinese. I found it difficult to understand them at times. They sent their best English-speaking guy to my table and I was able to order a dish that wasn't on the menu (yay!).
(4)Sandra R.
Food was good- ok. I had the lunch special- almond chicken. They give you a good amount of food for the price. I would eat here again if in the Chinese Cultural Center- but would not make a special trip.

First off, those of you that expect a suburban mall type of Chinese place will be disappointed. Secondly, those of you who have never really eaten Chinese food will also be disappointed. How can I say this? I spent many years eating wonderfully Chinese foods in and around Chinatown San Francisco and have been to proper formal Chinese dinners. I'm looking at reviews to my right as a write that illustrate this point exactly, "...meats on the menu I didn't know you could eat..." What I can say to these people with mall expectations; stick with Panda Express, it's just for you. There are two kinds of Chinese restaurants, the kind in the strip malls that cater to suburbia, and then there's the kind that cater to Chinese. This is the later with a menu that is amazing! First off we went later than lunch and earlier than dinner. This afforded us a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. I mentioned the menu? It was extensive, but they had my husband's favorite, Beef Chow Fun! I ordered the Orange Pepper Beef (not to be confused with that Orange Chicken they serve at the mall). Both came with superbly sticky rice too. A final Dim Sum we enjoyed was a Beef roll which we had for a snack later that evening. The Orange Pepper Beef I had enjoyed a light sauce that didn't overpower the beef and just the right amount of pepper so as to infuse the dish, but again not overpower it. The Chow Fun was, my husband declared, one of the best since he'd left San Francisco and moved to Arizona! Again, the sauce complimented the meat but didn't overpower it and there were ample green scallions to make anyone happy! Next time we go, he'll have the Brazed Beef and Wonton noodle soup that kept tempting him... Service was present but not in our way, isn't that the way you like it? As for the overall cost? Well priced for the selection -

I had been to the Super L Ranch Market next door at the Cofco Chinese Cultural Center, and was craving Chinese food so I headed for Beijing Garden Chinese for a late lunch. As I approached the entrance, a group of 4 diners came out - headed to their car. I asked them how they enjoyed their meal. One of them said he really enjoyed his shrimp dish, but the others didn't want to comment. Since the one gentleman was enthusiastic, I decided to continue inside. As I entered, I was greeted and led right away to a table near the kitchen entrance. As I took my seat, I could see that the plates on the table in front of me were both chipped. I asked for a plate that wasn't chipped, and it took my server a minute to find one which she switched from another table before she delivered a glass of water, and left me with the menu. Looking around, I noticed that there were very few diners present. The menu was quite extensive and a bit overwhelming. It helped somewhat that photos of some of the dishes were included, but dishes were less than completely described, providing little sense of flavor profiles, or how one sauce might compare to another. I love vegetables, and wanted to be sure that whatever dish I ordered had plenty of them, in addition to meat or seafood. Understand that by vegetables, I mean nutritious vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, snow peas and the like, not just onions and bell peppers or celery. I also wanted lots of flavor as opposed to a bland dish. The more I studied the menu, the more questions I had about the various preparations, but for at least 10 minutes, no one came within hailing distance of my table. Finally, with a couple of potential items in mind, and a host of questions, I closed my menu and put it down. Only at that point did my server re-appear. She wasn't particularly helpful in terms of being able to describe flavors of the dishes, and we appeared to be having some language barrier difficulties. I had been leaning to the Beef with Broccoli, perhaps with garlic sauce instead of brown sauce. After explaining that the garlic sauce was a white sauce that they used with chicken. She indicated that I should just get #82, the Beef with Black Pepper Sauce in Sizzling Plate, which had more spice. I finally convinced her to have Broccoli added to the #82 after clarifying that bell peppers and onions were not sufficient to meet my taste for vegetables. When I asked if they could add a level of spice to the dish, she said no, but she would bring me some hot oil. While not busy at all, she appeared frustrated by my questions, so I left it at that, in addition to some hot tea - hoping for the best. She brought my tea almost immediately, along with a dish of white rice covered by a bowl, and hot chili oil. I opened my book (dining alone, I always carry one) poured some tea, and settled in to wait for my meal which I thought would be out in short order since the rice had already been brought. After a good while, a young man set a heated metal plate in a wooden base before me. From a white soup bowl, he poured my beef dish onto the hot plate where the ingredients at the bottom against the plate began to sizzle and give off a delicious aroma. The slivers of beef were in a bit of sauce, and were clearly seasoned with black pepper. The beef apparently had been sautéed with pieces of bell pepper and onions about the size of quarters, and broccoli. Overall it smelled wonderful, and looked appetizing, and the portion size was generous. I spooned rice, which I realized was now barely warm, and the beef dish onto my plate. After an initial taste, I added Chili Oil to my plate, and to the remainder of the beef dish. The dish was overly salty overall - although not too salty to eat initially, provided each mouthful included lots of rice. After my first few bites, I realized that not only was the rice not hot, but neither was the beef dish. I found that by digging to the bottom of the metal plate, I could find meat and vegetables that were warmer and almost hot. Each bite tasted overwhelmingly of black pepper. I soon gave up trying to eat it, poured some more tea, and went back to reading my book. No one bothered to approach my table for another 15 minutes - this time I checked my watch... When someone did return, it was with my check. No one ever asked me how my food was, or if I wanted a take-out container for the large amount of remaining food. They simply removed it. When they saw that I had produced my credit card, they came to collect it right away, and returned in very short order with my card, my receipt, and a fortune cookie, and left my table with no further comment. Overall, my experience was disappointing. There may be wonderful things on the menu, but they are not helpful at assisting you with finding them.

Authentic traditional non-Americanized Chinese: some dim sum & servers fave hot & spicy beef. Very gracious staff.
(5)Ray K.
Here for 2 nights and was recommended to visit this place. Ordered one dish veggie and shrimp dish. It was really good. Got some egg rolls and they were just ok.
(4)Judy L.
We came here for a surprise birthday party. We had about 30 people. The place was clean. Some of the dishes were good & some of the dishes were ok. We have 3 different appetizers (cold noodles with beef, veggie platter, etc.); roasted duck (not bad); spicy fried pork chops (good); seafood on rice crackers (good), soup (didn't know it had noodles and goodies in the bottom of the pot), etc. I would come back to pick things that I would like to try next time.
(3)Sean L.
Authentic as? There were meats on the menu I didn't know you could eat. I had the chicken fried rice and that was ok. I probably won't go back but only because the food was a bit far out for me. The service was good and the people were nice. A mix of cultures were in there eating. Sorry for the poor score - just not my cup of tea.
(2)Don K.
It was only 4:30pm but had a case of the hungries so went to Beijing Garden for an early dinner. They were empty but love being the only people in the restaurant. Usually get great service and today was no exception. Started with jasmine tea, don't get the black tea when jasmine is available, it is so much better. Wife ordered and we got thinly sliced pork with bamboo and fried tofu. There is also sliced leaks and celery. It is one of my favorites. Pretty healthy and tastes awesome. I could eat most of it myself. Also had the sliced pork and rice cakes (mochi for you Japanese aficionados). This is sautéed with salted mustard cabbage which is just amazing. One of my favorite vegetables. Got to find out how they make it. Rice cakes are tender and flavorful. Those two dishes are not your run of the mill. They have orange chicken and Kung pao too but you can get that at Panda Express. The one thing that I want to try is the Peking Duck but you need to call ahead. Perhaps next time.
(4)Dan Y.
It's a good Chinese traditional foods restaurant. Last time we 10 people ate there, and so many special and traditional dishes that other restaurant doesn't have. It is very hard to find a very traditional restaurant in unite states, but this one does. Definitely I will be back again.
(4)Tanda M.
Located in a shopping center next to a huge supermarket, I should've known better. Might have been the worst chinese food I've ever had. The veggie fried rice was bland. I added chicken. Honestly, it was mystery meat and it was undercooked. Horrible. The spring rolls must have been frozen, freezer burned and dropped into a deep fryer. They were hard and stale by the time they got to me. I ate one of the two. I had a Sprite with a slice of lemon. Best part of my meal. The service wasn't great either. My waitress really tried to be nice. She clearly has not had much interaction with people of color. Upon entering I asked one woman if they were still honoring the lunch special as I was just moments past the lunch special hours. She must not have spoken English that day or at all. All she did was point to the other young lady who ended up being my waitress. She didn't appear to want to be there and refused to honor the lunch special by a few minutes. She wasn't warm or cordial. I was already turned off at that point. She took my order, brought my glass with ice and a dirty can of Sprite. After getting my food I refused to pay for the mystery meat and literally picked out every piece. It was not chicken! I also asked for no mushrooms. I had them in my rice. They did take the price I paid for the meat off my bill. Honestly, if it wasn't 109 degrees out and I wasn't hungry and needed to kill time, I would have never eaten here. It's my own fault. I should've Yelped it before I decided to eat here. So disappointing. I wanted to like it.
(1)Jay C.
You can find authentic Chinese food here, but I feel as though they're selling out offering Americanized food here as well. I asked the waitress for recommendations and she recommended the Sizzling Beef plate and the Ranch Chicken dish. I ordered crab puffs (girlfriend's guilty pleasure) and the sizzling rice seafood soup. The puff were subpar; severely understuffed and over-fried. The seafood soup was great. The two dishes she recommended were super salty. Both of the proteins got the corn starch treatment. I expected it from the beef because we all know the texture from Beef and Broccoli and all Chinese restaurants. But getting that chewy but tender texture from the chicken was new. It was okay but I do know that both of these dishes were incredibly salty! We are thinking of going back for the duck because it seems like they dedicate a big portion of their business to this. You just need to preorder it in advance.
(3)Rachel G.
Love love love this place! It's next to impossible to find decent let alone good Chinese food in Phoenix. They actually have real Chinese food! We had the wonton soup, spicy chicken chili (like a hot pot) and pork dumplings. All were delicious and amazing and I will definitely be back for more!
(5)Justin B.
I'm gonna give this a 3.5 star review even if I can threw Yelp. Let me start out by saying the service here is outstanding. And even the pricing too! The food is where it looses stars for me. For being literally in a Chinese cultural center I would expect amazing across the world dining. But sadly the food was mediocre at best. It wasn't horrible , but not worthy to say hey let's take a trip to eat Service: 5/5. I could not even get half way down my drink before they filled it up. When I ate my egg drop soup and side dishes, the dishes were taken immediately when empty. The servers were nice and prompt. Pricing: 5/5. Although probably the ultimate downfall of the quality of food, we were blown away to see a 5.95 LIST of meals which included egg roll soup entree and rice. Bill with tip was 8.50 Food: 3/5. The "sesame chicken" was a downfall from the first bite. I was expecting sweet yummness and all I got was a flat doughy fried taste :( There was no sweetness at all and the color must have been food coloring since it looked like darken brown chicken. I do give a little bit of redemption on there rice. It was actually very tasty. But all in all Rice should not be the winner of lunch.
(4)Rich M.
This is pretty authentic stuff. You get the feeling you're eating in Chinatown. Staff is friendly, but you can tell there is a bit of a language barrier. The prices are very reasonable. And the food choices vary from "traditional" Americanized Chinese food to dishes like Pig Kidney and Chicken Cartilage. I thought the food was very good. I ordered the spicy pork with chilies. A cook came out from the back, with better English skills, to make sure I understood it was spicy and that I could handle it. Yes, it was spicy, but I've had spicier. Most importantly, it had good flavor. It may not have been the prime cuts off pork, but that's traditional. The portion size was quite generous. I don't live in Phoenix, so I may not go back, but I definitely would if in the mood for a more traditional meal.
(4)Qa'ed M.
Service is awful, even for Chinese people (I'm Chinese, so I am socially qualified to make that statement.) Food is good occasionally, but I question their hygienic standards. For example, I know that Peking duck is not supposed to taste rancid. It tasted rancid twice in my frequent visits, and I eat there mostly because my in-laws like the place. "The duck tastes off." I said. "No it doesn't." said the waitress without missing a beat. Once, while dining with my toddler son, my wife asked if they had anything for him to drink along with his water. We asked for milk or orange juice, both of which they had none. "What do you give kids, then?" asked my wife. "Just give him soda." said the waitress. My father-in-law decided to have the Special of the Day. "We don't have the Special of the Day." said the waitress, her deadpan face never betraying the dripping irony of the statement. The manager came out soon thereafter. "Sorry, we don't have the special of the day today, sir. Can I get you the wonderful fresh cod that we're known for? It's steamed with traditional spices for half an hour and served on a bed of greens-- a delight to the taste, especially with a splash of light Pinot Noir." ... is what he never said. Instead, the cap-and-jeans dude looked irritated and said, "Get number 44. We don't have special. Get 44." "What's 44?" "It's good." And he walked away.

Food is good but not great Service was fast And friendly got the orange chicken lunch combo not sure that I'll be back I guess I'm just used to Panda Express which is no way similar to their orange chicken

I've been to China. This reminds me of the real thing. Authentic, good prices, and so delicious. Never ordered something bad here.
(5)Tianyi S.
Quite good! Despite the mediocre reviews, I found that one look at the menu would indicate that this restaurant knows what it's doing. There are many authentic items that are, if not perfect, very decently cooked- but if you factor in the prices, your meal becomes a steal. It's true that there are some waiters who are very unfamiliar with the menu; the first waiter who came to my family's table couldn't make any suggestions. Thankfully, my mom has no tact :0 and asked if there was a more knowledgeable waiter who could take our order. There was (!) and she made excellent suggestions, straight up steering us away from dishes she didn't find well-cooked, and suggesting some of the chef's signature dishes. After our first go-around, my family ate here on multiple nights, ordering delicious dishes like the: suan ni bai rou (thin-sliced spicy garlic pork belly; really amazing), the soup dumplings, the xue cai cau nuan gau (tender, chewy rice cakes with slivered pork and pickled veggies; SO GOOD!), the stir-fried bean curd with pork, the jiao yen pai gu (deep-fried salt & pepper jalapeno pork chops), the zi cai he (chive, shrimp, pork and vermicelli pockets) the yang rou cuan (cumin-spiced roasted lamb skewers), the gan bien si ji dou (dry-fried string beans)... and the list goes on. We don't believe in moderation. :) Items we ordered that I would not suggest (but were honestly fine by Southwestern standards; it's just that when there are so many better menu items, why bother?) were: The hong sao niu rou tang (red cooked beef noodle soup), the yang rou suan cai tang (pickled cabbage, vermicelli and lamb soup- I'm thinking soups are not their forte) the green onion pancakes, the hai xian jian mien (crispy fried seafood noodles), the cong bao yang rou (stir-fried lamb and scallions), and the cao A-cai (stir-fried garlic Arden lettuce). For a family of 5 adults and 2 children to scarf down all the food they could (and we can really put it away), and then take home another dinner's worth of leftovers, our bill came in at under $100, 20% tip included. My Chinese homies starving for an authentic meal- definitely stop by. You'll find something you enjoy.
(4)Felix K.
Food is awesome, of course mostly spicy food but good authentic chinese better than some restaurant in philly ctown It it worst to try
(4)Scott S.
My new favorite Chinese restaurant in the east Phoenix metro area. Enjoyed all three dishes we had - not exactly sure of the names because my guests (who, unlike me, had been there before) ordered in Chinese, but I think we had Triple Delight, General Tso's Chicken, and one other dish. Very reasonably priced, and good service. I prefer Beijing Garden over Szechwan Palace (in the same complex), though I have had many good meals at SP in the past.

My parent's wanted to try this place out, I was a little wary because of the reviews but I thought it was pretty good. We ordered the following: Garlic Chicken: very flavorful, with sliced garlic Pork & Bean Curd - Also very good, slices of pressed tofu with a brown sauce, skimpy on the pork though Scallion Pancakes - very tasty, light and fluffy Pork & Cabbage Dumplings - flavorful fresh dumplings I really liked that they had a dim-sum menu so we could try a few more things, there were also a lot of items that I haven't heard of and would like to try. The service was good too. Dinner for 3 of us was $30, I will definitely return.

Just got off the plane and wanted to get some beer and snacks at Ranch 99 market so we decided to get a quick bite to eat next door at Beijing Garden. It was 2:30 and all the other restaurants were closed. I had been there before when it as another Chinese restaurant. The decor was the same. The menu was colorful and extensive. We were the only ones in the place from beginning to end of the meal. We ordered two dishes the rice noodle soup and the house special crispy fried noodles. The Crispy Noodles had chicken, pork and shrimp and was OK 3 stars. The other rice noodle soup was terrible. A little ground pork in a bland greasy pork broth and some thin rice noodles. no stars. see pics. It comes spicy and they way it's spiced is the waiter gives you some siracha to add. The people who work there didn't know their own dishes. Sorry but, I don't think I will be coming back. Also, they turned a nicely decorated restaurant and added some stainless steel hot food tables in the back. It makes the place look like a cheap street food stand in the back of a Hutong open air market in Beijing.
(2)Ken G.
A little conflicted here. The food was a solid four stars. The portions were ample and the taste was spot on. The "service" on the other hand is non-existent. My server was unfriendly and hurried. Not the normal all business type that you usually get in Asian restaurants, but just plain horrible at his job. Came up to the table and just stood there looking out the window...not a word to me, just stood there. You can get the same good food elsewhere with better service and cheaper prices. Don't bother here.
(2)Anna V.
I came here after my graduation ceremony to celebrate with my family. The service was horrible, for lack of a better word. We didn't leave a tip due to the service.

Very unprofessional. He was in denial that they offered terrible service and refused to listen to what I had to say to improve their service. I have never experience such treatment or service and I eat out daily. To top it off, the food was salty. There is a Chinese restaurant next to this one, Szechwan Palace, that offers better service and food...go there instead.
(1)Brandon K.
I have not had the chance to try anything other then their soup. However, the soup hear is addicting. At least their spicy beef nuddle soup is. I always get my soup to go and find they give you a lot of it. Sadly, the portions you get, really are over priced at it nearly $9.00 tub-to-go. That's one reason for the rating I have chosen to give it. Now the people are friendly here, the place is clean and food does not take that long. At least thw soup does not. Your on you own guessing how long it will take to get othet foods. So far I lije this place and will return.
(3)Jacob P.
Food here is very tasty and the wait time was minimal. We had 5 people, all ordered different dishes, and ate it family style. Each dish was delicious and couldn't be more satisfied. The chow mein and sweet and sour chicken was amazing and I would definitely recommend. The service was mediocre, they weren't good but they weren't horrible either. All in all I will definitely be back

Had a lunch special today as a takeout. I couldn't believe the prices of the lunch specials starting at 5.95 for: choice of dish, choice of rice, egg roll and soup. There were also specials in the 6.95 and 7.95 pricing depending on what you wanted to eat. For the 5.95 that I selected, I had shredded pork with dried tofu. The died tofu intrigued me as I had never had it before. I asked that it be made spicy. My choice of rice was brown rice which is usually up charged in chinese restaurants. Not here. I also got the egg drop soup and an egg roll with the order. Despite great value on this meal and the generosity of the portion, I would not have called the dish tasty. Usually pork dishes taste really good. There was some spiciness as requested but it was made spicy by using hot szechuan oil which made the dish quite a bit greasy. The egg roll and egg drop soup were fine, but nothing to write home about. I hope that restaurants in the Chinese Cultural Center up their game. They should be serving some of the best Chinese food in Phoenix.

I was very excited to find Peking Duck highlighted on the front of this restaurant as I walked by. A few days later I called ahead to ensure they had time to prepare properly. With great anticipation I arrived to discover very poor approximation of the real thing. The skin was not separated from a large layer of fat (yuk!), meat was overcooked, pancakes were thick and incorrect. Maybe some of the other dishes are good (I didn't try any), but the Peking Duck ... bu hao chi!

Great food! FYI... state the dish name and do not use the number affiliated with each entree. The waitress did mess up one of the meals as we ordered based on the number, other then that I had a great time and left satisfied.

My favorite dish is flog leg casserole. I love it so much. I went there many time due to missing this dishes. Some people afraid of flog legs. They think it is very terrible. I didn't like flog before I ate this, after I tried that, I cannot stop love with it. Actually, flog leg is like chicken leg, but it is more fresh and tender than chicken. Beside of flog legs, it has some vegetables in it, like lotus root. The cooker will have deal with on flog leg, than put legs and vegetable into casserole with some spicy sauce to fried. There will be a small cooking range with the casserole to keep the dish keep warm.

My daughter and I ate here and thought the food was good. We ordered spring rolls, eggplant in garlic sauce and the sweet & pungent potatoes. It was a little difficult communicating because of the language barrier though.

I am in Phoenix for work and was craving Chinese food since I would be spending Friday night in my hotel room. I ordered the beef chow fun and Chinese broccoli to go at 5:00 p.m. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes. Customer service: friendly, quick and hassle free. They accept all credit cards, including American Express - bonus! Food: big portion size, chow fun was delicious/tons of beef and Chinese broccoli was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I will definitely return and recommend. For the price, customer service and quality of food, this is a definite keeper.

Went there with my co-workers this past weekend after a long day working at the Chinese New Year's Festival. We didn't get there until 8:30pm and the restaurant closes at 9:30pm. We know the owner there and we want to try it out and see how the food taste. It wasn't very busy because it's already late at night and they close in an hour, we sat in the middle of the restaurant and Paul (one of the manager) helped us out with ordering. All of the food items from the menu looked delicious, we ordered a noodle, bean curd, and a chicken dish. Personally I won't go back again because the prices are so high and the food portion isn't all that enough for the price we paid. Four of us went and we paid $30 before tips.

I had an appointment in the area and decided to go here for a late lunch. It was just after 2 pm. I looked at the extensive menus outside and was disappointed I didn't see moo shu pork anywhere on the menu. I decided to get the lunch special General Tso's chicken. It came with soup, rice, and an egg roll. They brought out egg drop soup automatically. It tasted exactly like packaged chicken broth with a little egg in it. Then the chicken came out and I'm guessing they fried the chicken at 10 am and had been under a heat lamp since then. It was dried out, tasteless, and tasted burnt in places. They put it in what seemed to be sweet and sour sauce straight from a bottle with no extra spices or seasoning and threw some overcooked snow peas in there. It came with a scoop of plain white rice. I tried the egg roll and the wrapper was fried crispy, but that was the best part of it. I couldn't identify any ingredients in the egg roll. I couldn't tell you if it had meat of cabbage or anything in it. It was just a glob of something. The frozen egg rolls that I get from Sam's and stick in the oven turn out better.

Well I read some of the other reviews and we must have hit it on a great day because the food was hot, prepared to order (Hunan Shrimp was extra spicy and loaded with big ol' shrimp), and everything tasted great. The servers were attentive and didn't have to be asked to fill drinks, bring a few extra napkins, etc. Lots of dishes under 10 bucks and a similar amount in the 13-16 dollar range. Portions are big enough to share. The menu is quite extensive - I'm not into frogs, but you can get them. The dining room was tidy and well arranged. They were busy but we didn't feel cramped for space. Overall nice place and tasty food. I'll go back.

Outstanding, authentic, Chinese food. Fresh ingredients. Delicious Peking Duck. Go here. We found it by accident. Highly recommended.

Excellent restaurant for the Beijing style. It's a bit on the expensive side (Why in the world are the beef wraps 8 bucks?) It has all the staples you come to expect from Northern Chinese food, and the items I ordered leaned toward the delicious side. I ordered a beef stew noodles, tofu and pork strands, and of course the beef wraps. Although the noodles aren't hand made, and everything else is pretty basic, I honestly can't find much to complain about. Beijing Garden is good, and I will definitely go there again.

Expensive and nothing delicious. Never go there again

I am shocked by some of these reviews. This is simply the best Chinese food that I have ever had in town. The lunch specials are outstanding and more food than most can eat for under $6.00. I have tried evey one of the lunch specials and enjoyed all. I have brought several people to the resteraunt and they have all loved the place. The staff is great and Paul is a great guy that knows the menu very well. Also, this is the BEST hot and sour soup without a doubt....highly recommend. I had stopped going to the previous resteraunt at this location because of poor quality.
