This is a great place when you want your standard Chinese takeout fix. The food always seems fresh and the portions are generous. The appetizers are pretty legit. The cream cheese wontons are some of the best around; they are large, not too greasy, and have a nice dollop of cheese. Not your tiny little rice paper with marble size cream cheese like you now see at many places. Egg rolls are nothing special. All of the entrées are quite tasty. Some standouts include the Dragon and the Phoenix, Beef with Broccoli, and Mu Shu Pork. Shrimp entrées have large pieces of shrimp that are usually done well. For noodles, try the Singapore noodles if you like curry. Before the most recent ownership this place was hit and miss (changed owners 3 yrs ago). I would say it is much improved since then. I would disagree with another reviewer about online ordering. It is a 3rd party website but I have never had an issue with the 10+ times I have used the site. You dont have to use a credit card on the website. Just choose pay at the store...it seems less difficult than explaining my order over the phone.

My girlfriend and I wanted chinese food and I am new to the Portland/Hwy62 area. We always try different places and are not usually happy after we try different chinese places. So we just chose a place off of Google Maps down the street and went. We were the only two people there for most of the time. We ordered the crab wontons which came out hot and crispy. We both wolfed them down and they were pretty good. For entres I had General Tsos chicken. It was crispy and very flavorful. They actually made it differently than the menu described(different vegetables) and I felt bad saying something because it was so good anyway. But I mentioned it and the waiter insisted on making it right and they made me extra to take home with me! My girlfriend had vegetable Lo Mein and she loved it too. It was also very fresh and flavorful. I definately recommend this place and will be returning soon!

Well the biggest issue I would say was the f**king dead cooked caterpillar I found in my Spicy Garlic Broccoli. I spent a total of $50 for not only mediocre food/service but finding an unpleasant surprise in my food. To top it off Im a vegetarian so I was NOT a happy customer. It was dead and cook with its inside spewing out. At first unthought it was a leaf but NOPE a f**king crispy dead caterpillar. We were given a choice of a refund or more food LOL why in the hell would I want more food from a place that DOES NOT WASH THEYRE PRODUCE OR MONITOR THEYRE OWN FOOD QUALITY CLOSELY. Im making a phone call to the department of health today!!!! Please Im not making this up theyre is probably a ton of health violation codes in that place. Im never ordering from them again!!!!!!

Constantly have difficulty with the staff on the phone. They can never understand me. Have messed up our delivery order several times. I spend 40 to 50$ here per week as they are one of the few that deliver to me and they forgot to grab my free egg roll coupon one visit and notated my account that I can not receive any free egg rolls any more. I have been ordering from there for a year. This is the final straw. Apparently 2 egg rolls is enough to lose my business. The staff couldnt even make sense of it. It came from the owner. I ordered from a competitor and they were far better. So long china garden. Thank you Eddie Cheng.

I ordered food waited the standard normal hour for the food. When I got it , it was the wrong order even worse it was seafood which Im allergic too. First thing I saw was a rice container thinking it was mine realized it wasnt. Called the store told them to cancel and give my money back which will now take 3 weeks to do. Then the driver calls says wrong order Ill come pick it up and is going to give it to the right people, gross!!! Even if I just opened the bag those people should have a fresh order. I will never order again who knows if they dropped off my order to the wrong person and it was open.

Yesterday was my first time eating here and it was not a great experience at all!!! I called for a delivery and about 1 minute into the call the guy on the phone started yelling at me when I asked about the meal difference! No patience! When the food finally did get here it was nothing like the picture, my chicken wings were tiny af I thought it was kids meal! My rice had chicken when I specifically asked for just plain fried rice. The only good that came from this place was the delivery time but still I will never ever recommend eating here.. Ever!

Today we ordered food for lunch at our office. It arrived 50 yes FIFTY minutes late, China Garden totally screwed up the order and shorted us a meal. The food delivered was cold. The chicken chow mein was totally GUMMY! They shorted us a wonton also. I called and asked to be comped for the meals. They said the manager wasnt in, but he would call me back. Hmmmm! NEVER heard from him. Sadly you have lost our business. BAD SERVICE, BAD DELIVERY BAD FOOD+= no more CHINA GARDEN. Dont waste your money

Hit or miss with the food consistency besides that when its good it is amazing! Update- This place used to be amazing!! It went from 4 stars to 1. Maybe you will get something good 1 out of 5 times and I get the same order every time. Delivery is a joke it has been taking more than an hour for a delivery during off peak hours for a 1.2 mile delivery route. You want something worth your money go pick it up and look at the food before you leave with your order.

I was bummed. The food is mostly good, but I was very disappointed in the Jalapeno Chicken. They really should call it something else, like "A lot of onions, like really a lot, some jalapenos, and oh yeah, some chicken". I mean, it tastes good when you take out most of the onion, but seriously, I separated most of the onion from the rest of the dish and the onion took half of the container.

I had delivery from here today 6/30/11. It was very good. The reviews you are reading posted prior to just a few months ago were when people ate here before ownership changed. I would not recommend getting two orders of food if there is only 2 people eating, you will have leftovers. This is my new chinese place to eat in Richfield. Fried rice is extra cost but worth it.

CLUELESS STAFF and DUMB WORKERS. Ordered general tsaos chicken and cream cheese wantons for delivery. Recieved mediocre chicken and NO WANTONS. When I called back to explain the order dereliction, I immediately was berated by the receptionist claiming the cook had included the wantons. I recieved no wantons, and I lost $4.83. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COST.

Been eating here for years. Best Chinese food Ive had. Fried dumplings and broccoli beef are the best. Ive even had them cater large meetings, everyone loved it. A little hard to order when calling, but it’s worth the challenge. They will also customize any dish to your liking. Their egg rolls are good, but would be better with meat in them.
