We always have a pretty good experience at China Garden. The restaurant may feel a little old and the service isn’t always 5⭐️, but the food is always very delicious! My new favorite is the Crab Cream Cheese Rangoons. This visit, we shared some Sweet and Sour Chicken along with the Rangoons. I recommend a visit if you want some delicious food!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

⭐ 1 star for Carmen - unprofessional rude waitress. And 5 🌟stars for friendly knowledgeable Elaine 🎉👏 So I walked into this restaurant for the 1st time, and our waitress, Carmen, immediately made the experience stressful and unfriendly. 🙄 Before my husband and I even sat down at the table, this waitress shrieked at us and demand we give her our drink selection, Twice before we sat down ! So she was asking what we wanted to drink—without giving us a chance to look at the menu. When we tried to order drinks that weren’t available, she finally provided the list of available drinks, but then took the menu away before we could even look at food selection. Realizing she took away the menus, She had to give it back, saying we might need more time to decide. How can I decide something when I did not even look at the menu ??! Her whole attitude and unprofessionalism were so bad, I almost wanted to walk out right away from the restaurant. Customer service from Carmen is very poor, and I would not recommend her at all as a waitress. I’ve noticed She even rushed other customers, even though the restaurant was not busy—our table was the third in the restaurant when we came. I had to ask other waitress to serve us. Thankfully, Elaine took over and made our experience enjoyable and satisfactory. She was very attentive, brought hot food promptly, refilled drinks on time, offered helpful suggestions for main course with details, she was very knowledgeable about the menu and even sauces that comes with the dish. Elaine provided excellent service and friendly vibe. If you go to this restaurant, ask for Elaine, you won’t regret.
