" After years of grabbing lunch here, I've finally come to a conclusion. The food is very hit-or-miss, and you never know what it will be like on any given day. The fried rice and wontons can be top-notch one day, and completely off the next. Their service is friendly, but those long wait times can ruin what could have been good meals. Plus, the atmosphere could use a thorough clean-up. I enjoy the portions, but consistency is key for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to share my experience: I adored the wonton soup here. While the rest of the meal had its misses, the wonton soup was fantastic, giving me a taste of home. The decorations might be outdated, and the staff seemed tired, but overall there’s a warmth that makes me want to return. I’m giving a rating of 3 because of the soup—hopefully, next time it’ll be a more enjoyable experience overall. Portions were generous, so I felt it was worth the price, despite some inconsistencies with other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I reluctantly went to China Garden after a friend recommended it. The atmosphere felt stale, and the staff weren't particularly engaged. The food, however, was surprisingly decent—the pork fried rice had flavor, but other items, like the wontons, left much to be desired. Portions were generous, a redeeming quality, but I wouldn't say they're worth it if you're aiming for quality. A mixed experience that might not encourage me to come back when so many better options exist. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand how this restaurant still has decent ratings. My visit was marred with issues. The food didn't taste fresh, and while the portions were generous, what use is that if I can't enjoy more than a few bites? The service was rushed, and I had to flag someone down for basics like utensils and napkins. I left feeling quite disappointed and likely won't return anytime soon. It gets a two from me, but that’s just for the quantity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a disappointing experience at China Garden. The chicken I ordered was dry and tasted old. It honestly felt like the meal had been reheated multiple times. The only good part was the portion; they certainly don’t skimp on that. However, it does little to make up for the lack of care in preparing the food. I won’t be coming back after this encounter. I’d recommend trying elsewhere unless you’re in a pinch. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Garden has always been a mixed bag. Some days the food is spot on, and others, it feels like leftovers from the week before. I’m continually let down by their inconsistency, especially with staple dishes like fried rice. Service varies significantly, with some staff members being friendly and others dismissive. The atmosphere feels untidy at times—something they should prioritize fixing. However, I will continue going back since it's so close and convenient. I just hope they can find a balance between quality and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing good things, I was excited to try China Garden Restaurant. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and general tso's chicken. Unfortunately, both seemed old and lacking in flavor. The shrimp fried rice had an unappealing texture, and the chicken was overly greasy. The only positive I can mention is that the portions were quite plentiful. The décor leaves a lot to be desired, and the staff appeared overwhelmed. I’m hoping this was just an off day for them, but I don’t think I’ll return unless I hear significant improvements.
