My husband and I have been ordering delivery from there for a year or two now. The food is decently priced, and we have always received a ton of food. It is standard Chinese takeout, but we have never had food come messed up from here and we order 2-3 times a month. I get plain lo mein, he gets General Tsos, and we share fried rice. Delivery is always way quicker than expected. All in all, good Chinese takeout for a good price.

They didn't include about 4 dollars worth of food. A few egg rolls. Their solution was to give me restaurant credit. I will never see that 4 dollars again. Awful food. Keep the egg rolls they owed me. Might have saved me some more stomach problems. Don't order from here. Rude and Taco Bell wouldn't use their meat.

We have been ordering from here for probably 8 years now, 2 or 3 times a month. It used to be China House, I think. We have never had a bad meal. The House Special soup is excellent, as are the pork dumplings. My wife always gets the same thing, Shrimp and Broccoli. I tend to experiment. Yesterday I ordered the Double Cook Pork, it was very good. Anyone looking for something different may not be happy here. As in another review, this is standard Chinese fare. However, if that is what you want and expect, you will be extremely satisfied. The food is always good, arrives on time, they give you a lot of it, and it is not expensive at all.

Tried this place for the first time tonight. I decided to go with some sushi, as they offer both Chinese food & sushi. The Tuna Roll & Yellowtail Roll both sounded like winners. (See uploaded photo). I was disappointed. The presentation was very nice, including big helpings of pickled ginger & wasabi, & a little plastic grass to divide the two types. This sushi lacks flavor because the tiny pieces of fish are being strangled by a lot of white rice & a thin layer of seaweed. Although it was inexpensive sushi - $5.50/roll - I expected a little bit more flavor.

Grabbed some take out and service was quick! Decent food with pretty standard prices.

Standard Chinese fare. I mostly ordered because they offer sushi and the sushi is okay - pretty pricy but taste is ok. I've gotten sick off it a time or two, unfortunately, because it's not always the freshest...so exercise caution. Has been reliable service otherwise and the delivery guy is always super nice, but probably won't be making a habit of ordering from here anymore.

Saturday lunch sushi can be hard to find. Seeing Katana and Little Tokyo were not open for lunch on Saturdays, I suggested Asian Garden to my sushi-eating friend. While in a strip mall, it still has a nice restaurant environment. The dining area is divided from the entryway, so when you're sitting at one of the booths, people coming in won't be gawking at you. There is a hibachi/prep area with a counter around it for seating on the opposite wall. We were greeted and seated quickly, and the server was patient with us as we scanned the very extensive menu. I ordered the green salad with ginger dressing to start. I get this everywhere I go. The dressing was more loose than I'm used to and lacked flavor. I can usually eat this stuff with a spoon, but this wasn't my favorite. We ordered Spicy Tuna, Rainbow, and Eel rolls to share, and my friend ordered some sushi. It was prepared fresh where we could have gone over and watched if we wanted. I took a photo of the plate and posted it, but the color isn't quite right, so don't judge by that. I tried eel roll first (usually my favorite), and it was still warm. The eel was just a tad chewy, but it was still very good in flavor. The Rainbow roll was my favorite from this plate. Everything in it was fresh and delicious, and it had just a slight spiciness. The Spicy Tuna was surprisingly mild, which was a little disappointing to me. My friend also enjoyed the sashimi he ordered. I still consider myself a sushi rookie, so I may not have all of my terminology correct, but I do know good vs. bad, and this is good. I just wished I lived closer, so I could benefit from their delivery! I will definitely be returning.

It's hit or miss. Be careful when ordering Seafood....they do not mind serving the catch of 2 days ago. Normally it is good, but I ordered steamed shrimp that smelled so bad it stunk up my house.

Probably some of the worst Chinese and food in general I have had. I would worry about getting sick here based on the raw chicken i was served and kung pao chicken that I have now idea what it actually was. Steer clear of this place.

I ordered from this place for the first time tonight. NEVER AGAIN!! I ordered teriyaki beef (was like shoe leather and tasteless, threw it away). I ordered Beef, pepper and onion (tasted awful and the meat was tough, grissley, and tasteless, threw it away). I ordered Beef low mein (tasted awful and the meat was so tough that it had to be thrown away), I also ordered won to soup (salt water) threw it away. Ordered spring rolls, they were ok really greasy. Ordered crab ragoon and they were good. Called the owner of the restaurant and she did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to rectify the situation. The beef had a funny texture also. I'd say stay clear of this place. Like I said, NEVER AGAIN!!!

Note #1: They are a BYOB establishment. Note #2: They offer free delivery with a $12 minimum order, but I have no idea what their boundaries are. I'm guessing they're limited to the Castle Shannon area, but I'm sure it can't hurt to call. They do take-out too, so you can always shoot over and get it if they won't bring it to you. My parents owed me a belated birthday dinner, and I hadn't a clue as to where I wanted to go. That was until they got a flyer in the mail for a new Asian eatery in Castle Shannon, right down the road from Pho Kim 88. It's yet another entry into the Asian Cuisine Strip Mall War. Does it stand tall? For the most part, yes. As it says on their flyer, Asian Garden offers a mixture of Chinese and Japanese including sushi, sashimi, and hibachi. Geez, I couldn't decide where to go eat on my birthday, and once I decide on an Asian restaurant, I can't figure out whether to go Chinese or Japanese! "Why not go both? It's my birthday after all," I said to myself. I started out with some Tako, which is octopus and a wad of rice lashed together with a strip of nori. My sister almost fainted. I thought it was ok. You get two pieces, and I finished both without using the attendant wasabi and ginger. The octopus itself was a little gelatinous, had texture for days, and only a mild flavor. I didn't hate it but am not sure if I loved it either. Now I almost got their Chirashi which is "assorted raw fish on vinegar rice in a bowl" as their menu states,but a "Chef's Special" called Seven Stars Around The Moon caught my eye. The menu describes it as "Jumbo Shrimp, Lobster Meat, Crabmeat, Beef, Chicken, Pork, Scallops, and Mixed Vegetables in Brown Sauce." White rice comes with it in a separate bowl as does that famous red sweet & sour sauce. It was filling for sure, so much so, that I took about 40% of it home. Each shrimp was tempura battered and fried and puffy and was the best seafood funnel cake/fritter thingamajig I've come across in months. And when you dip each morsel into the red sauce, goddamn, seafood becomes dessert, candy. Who wants tuna ice cream when you can have this? The shrimp was the star with everything else becoming a huge, tasteful mishmash of proteins and veggies united by that Brown Sauce. All of the other sea critters surrendered unto the Borg. The Fried Dumplings the four of us shared as an appetizer were an instantly familiar crowd pleaser, the "Detroit Rock City" of our Chinese meals. If it doesn't happen, people go home disappointed, y'know? Honeyed, crispy, soft, full in flavor and mouthfeel, the dumplings were like pastries of pork. Yet again, a case is made for meat as a dessert by the Chinese, and Asian Garden isn't the only Asian restaurant doing them up like this. In quality, they were very much like Dormont's Amazing Wok, and we ate them up eagerly, each of us getting two. Dad tried to steal a third. Speaking of Dad and Mom, they both liked their Hibachi dinners which had a little bit of steak, scallops, and shrimp in them. Dad wasn't nutters over the Miso soup, which I finished for him and liked. He wasn't crazy about his Green Salad with the ginger dressing. I had to finish that for him as well (For what it's worth, Dad's not used to Japanese food, but he used to be iffy about Indian cuisine, and now he loves it, so...). Anyway, AG's ginger dressing isn't the creamy kind I'm used to. It was pretty tangy, a little bitter, and wasn't very sweet at all. In terms of consistency, it was somewhat akin to a cocktail sauce, and that's the best comparison I can make. Sis, who's almost as fussy as Dad (I had to beg her to try the Miso soup), liked her Chicken Lo Mein, and Mom, being easy to please, liked everything. Asian Garden's lone dessert offering is ice cream in various flavors that you can have as is or "fried." Considering the Chocolate Sin birthday cake from Potomac Bakery waiting for me at home and my recent date with Overindulgence at Burgatory last weekend, I figured it was time to walk away. Guess what else was waiting for me at home? More gift cards! Cracker Barrel (I can live with that) and...ulp...TGI Friday's (aiiiieeeee!!!) Now officially wise to my secret life on Yelp, Dad created a "freestyle" that goes "Darren can't help it, he's gotta Yelp it!" He also wants me to review EVERY chain in Pittsburgh. Save me. youtube.com/watch?v=q7JW…

Had Sushi delivered for lunch today, a group lunch. Had the shrimp tempura roll, boston roll, california roll and hawaiian roll, enjoyed them, but my favorite were Tempura roll and boston roll and love the fact they deliver! Will order from again!

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.
