Ordered delivery online thusly: 1) Hot & Sour Soup, requested extra spicy-not spicy at all, bland, and was extremely greasy, 2) Wonton Soup-bland, 3) Prawn Amazing, requested "extra extra extra spicy, dont hold back"-bland, not spicy at all, and somehow extremely greasy, 4) Sesame Chicken Combo, again requested "extra extra extra spicy, dont hold back"-again bland, and not spicy whatsoever. There is absolutely no excuse for Chinese food to be bland. The restaurant is only about a five minute drive, but the food was just a little better than room temperature. Woks were designed to use cooking oils as sparingly as possible, so how they managed to have a chefs specialty literally with more grease than sauce is beyond me. On the plus side, plenty of condiments in the bag which is a major plus, and the delivery driver was awesome, giving me back $30 that I had inadvertently given him. To sum it up, someone looking to hire a good driver should call Yummy Garden, but anyone who is craving Chinese should look elsewhere.

Yummy Garden? More like No-mmy Fart-en! The Lovely Princess Strawberry Moon recently tried to order some simple spare ribs from these water-headed slop-pushers, and what did these cross-eyed nincompoops bring her but a fetid bucket of pork gristle shimmering in a rancid stew of gelatinous fat and factory run-off! Ive eaten antifreeze that was more edible than the rusty bowl of dissected pig abortion these grease-witted noodle-suckers brought her! This glorious country of the United States has always had a rich, rewarding tradition with Chinese Food Delivery, a tradition that these felonious fiends, these cretinous crockpots-of-the-Hot-Wok have forever stained with the culinary miscarriage they squeezed out and sold me with a free side of white rice. Further, these slime-fisted fryer-jockeys poisoned, straight up POISONED the great and honorable Princess Strawberry Moon, the Shortcake, first of her name, she of the Rochesters, Queen Regent and Protector of the Realm of Gingers. POISONED her, fam. Inexcusable.

General tsos combo, shrimp Lo-mein, coconut shrimp, crab ragoons, a $30+ order. So where to start...well It was all very sad, the tsos was not the fried goodness coated in a sweet and spice glaze but meat and veggies in some broth like substance. The coconut shrimp was a heavily breaded mess, mixed with barely cooked broccolie and coconut milk (Im guessing) just poured over it lazily. Crab ragoons, definitely homemade and poorly fried, i made better at home. The only thing they had that met expectations was the Lo-mein, decent but super tiny shrimp, a regular dish none the same. The kids working there either seem sad or just dont care as their owners run a joke of a Chinese restaurant....

I ordered chicken w/ broccoli and a side order of fried rice and it simply wasnt very good food. In fact it tasted quite horrible. This is literally the WORST Chinese food Ive had in the area which makes it worse than Lotus Oriental (by far my favorite) , Hes Chinese & Japanese Restaurant (2nd Best) , Lins Garden, Mandarin Court, and New Number One. (Im a college student in the area and when I first got here I made a point of finding my favorite take out place) I feel so strongly about the inferiority of this place and so angry I wasted my money that it drove me, despite my extreme laziness, to go out of my way and type this review. Please buy somewhere else.

Worst food Ive ever had in my life. Menu is a joke, and the cooks make it up as they go. That photo of that "chow mein" in their photo section? Yeah, that was mine. When I called and asked them why my chow MEIN didnt have a single NOODLE in it, or why it didnt look like a single one of my google image results for "chow mein", the guy on the phone told me it was "their style". I promise that I dont have some sort of personal vendetta towards this place, I really just dont feel comfortable that people even still eat here. Someones going to get hurt.

I tried Yummy Garden last night and it was the WORST Chinese food experience Ive ever had. The food was not good, my crab rangoons were HOLLOW! Zero filling, just the outside of the wonton. Egg roll was soggy. The only thing I actually ate a good amount of was the Lo Mein, still sub-par at best.... In addition to lousy food, the delivery driver was rude, and I asked for chopsticks in the bag and they were not included. Im sorry I tried this place and will never order from Yummy Garden again.

Decided to try them out for the first time and ordered over the phone. When I picked up the order, first thing I noticed was how unkept the place looked then to make things worse, the guy packing the food up for me was sneezing and coughing and then would just wipe his hands on his shirt. Anyways the overall quality of food was bad. I got sesame chicken and pork fried rice. The rice was mushy and overcooked and the sesame chicken was just plain bland. So disappointing.

Today is the 2nd time Ive ordered from here. The 1st time I ordered shrimp and broccoli (I asked for the broccoli to be a little soft) with curry sauce and white rice. The rice was very hard and the broccoli was too soft to the point where it broke up. Today I ordered crab sticks with shrimp fried rice and again the rice was very hard the shrimp lo mein was fine but the rice was very hard, both times. I couldnt even enjoy my meal.

This is our fall-back "I dont feel like cooking" restaurant. I have only had the vegetarian food. I like that I can get the sauces on the side and the tofu steamed instead of fried, if I want. Its literally about a pound of tofu, so I only eat half and save the rest. The noodle dishes arent very good, which is disappointing (go to Mings for noodles). The menu has been moving toward authentic Chinese (ie eel, pig feet, etc. )

Watched an employee cut his toe nails and pick at his dirty nasty feet right in front of the place on the sidewalk. We were grossed out but went in and ordered. Doesnt he come in and start making our food without washing his hands. So gross. Got our money back and left. By the way, sandles are not legal footwear behind the line. Yuck, this place should be shut down.

Dont Order Here! Im so **** right now and I mustered up the energy to log on and right this review about the food. Thats how bad it is. I called to tell them they delivered the wrong order because I couldnt believe what they gave me was what I ordered. Their Chicken Chow Mein has to be the worst ever; which is what i was unfortunate enough to have ordered.

Pure garbage. There was a chunk of wood in my lo mein, no joke. I almost crapped my pants an hour after eating that food. I wouldnt recommend walking by this place, let alone eat their food. Its amazing theyre still in business. The only reason anyone should ever eat here is if they enjoy horrible food and explosive diarrhea.

Bought delivery from this place on grubhub. I was surprised by the delivery driver beating the grubhub delivery estimate by over 20 minutes. The food arrived piping hot and was delicious. The Lunch boxes are worth the money as they pack the trays up with food and dont skimp on you. Would order again.
