When we are craving Chinese, but don't want to go out to a better restaurant, just eat in, this is the one we used to frequent. It is typical of carry out Chinese, service is below average. The spring rolls are wonderful, egg drop soup is average. We have a few favorites we always came back to. It doesn't upset my stomach, and that is something for this type of restaurant. You can eat in if you don't want to carry out. They'll give you a box for your leftovers. [Note: We now go down the road for better service and portions. An attitude that shows appreciation for the customer goes a long way. Take note, China Garden!]

I often eat seafood soup here. Have been for about 11 yrs. Now I know that this not a gourmet restaurant and I don't expect it to be. However, the seafood soup as of late is full of imitation crab with no scallops or muscles. They may have an issue I'm not aware of in acquiring ingredients but this last experience is the last time I'll eat there. It just seems that they're taking the customer for granted.

Ordered from here on accident, and I won't make this accident twice. Teenage kids working the register were rude and the food tasted like ass. Joe S. must own China Garden and in an attempt to pump up the average has given this dive 5 stars. It's not more than 1.5

1st attempt - 3/10/12 Staying near by at the Hampton, so figured I would give it a shot. While it isn't the absolute best Chinese food I have had, I would go back again,. It is your typical stripmall food joint that consists of very few tables and the same menu you would find anywhere... which is a good thing since I am a creature of habit and always order steamed mixed vegetables with some kind of protein & won ton soup. The one complaint I did have is that the "mix" consisted mostly of broccoli. I like broccoli, but I would have preferred a little more variety. The soup was tasty and the won tons were cooked perfectly. Latest attempt - 3/7/13 Staying at the Hampton again, so I gave it another go. Ordered the steamed shrimp & vegetables. Based on the latest visit, I took one star away. Again, the vegetable mix consisted mostly of broccoli, but the shrimp was disgusting. They were pan fried (what seemed like hours prior) and then put in the steamer to warm. Come on now... how hard is it to put fresh shrimp in a steamer??? Needless to say, I won't be going back for a third try.

Average food quality and prices. Good menu selections. Too heavy on the oil for my taste (can ask for less oil). Does not deliver for lunch.
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
