I’ve been a customer of China Garden for over 14 years, and this was by far the most disappointing experience I’ve had, both in food quality and customer service.
On November 28, 2025, I placed a delivery order around 5:00 p.m. and spent $47.78. The food arrived around 6:05 p.m., and it was some of the poorest quality I’ve ever received from this restaurant.
Food issues:
• The combination platter contained several over-fried items. Much of the food was dry, dark, and unpleasant. The fried chicken was dry on the inside, and most of the platter had to be eaten around, I could only pick at the few parts that weren’t overcooked.
• The barbecue pork lo mein was extremely salty and nearly inedible. The pork was dark brown, hard, and chewy, more like overcooked bacon than the traditional red barbecue pork they used to serve. It also had a refrigerated taste.
• The cream cheese wontons were tightly rolled with only a tiny dab of cream cheese. They were not cream cheese wontons as they used to be, just wontons with barely any filling.
• The shrimp were noticeably smaller and heavily battered, more batter than shrimp, and nothing like what I’ve ordered from them in the past.
This wasn’t just personal preference, the recipes, portions, and preparation have clearly changed, and not for the better.
Customer service was even worse than the food.
I contacted the restaurant multiple times trying to resolve the issue:
11/28: I spoke with an employee named Ethan, who said he spoke with the manager (Amy) and told me that a refund would be issued that night.
11/29: I spoke directly with Amy, who again said she would issue the refund but was “busy” and would do it later.
12/2: I called again and was told by another employee, “We don’t do refunds.” During that same conversation, I was told the manager would call me back and take care of it. No call ever came. No follow-up was made. No refund was issued.
Instead of resolving the issue, I was talked over, dismissed, and ultimately told that I am no longer allowed to call, order, or do business with them at all.
After 14 years of being a loyal customer and giving them another chance, this was shocking. Banning a customer for expressing dissatisfaction, canceling an unpaid order, or asking for a refund is unacceptable. Promising a refund and then refusing to honor it followed by no call back, shows there was never any intention to resolve the issue.
I’m not claiming to be the authority on food, but I do work as a chef and have years of experience in food service and customer care. I wasn’t trying to cause problems, I was honestly disappointed because I was reminiscing about how good this food used to be and hoped it would still be the same.
Whether it’s five complaints or fifty satisfied customers, those few voices still matter. Many people simply stop coming back without ever saying why.
I won’t be ordering again, not because I was told not to, but because quality, accountability, and basic respect clearly no longer matter here.

I wouldn’t get it again honestly, very disappointing. I got the lunch special, and everything was inedible unfortunately. The fried rice tasted like it was made in a dirty wok with spots of burnt oil or leftover food. I also had the moo goo gai pan which looked grey which concerned me. The veggies in the dish were not the usual recipe you would expect to find in the dish (lots of celery, green bell peppers, no water chestnuts, no bamboo shoots). The sweet and sour chicken was like buffet-style, dry with sauce on the side and no veggies. The price was affordable but the food is questionable.

We paid $35 for this. Everything is old. I had ordered chicken chow mein and it’s literally a brick of burnt noodles.

Ordered the BBQ Pork, cream cheese wontons, pork fried rice, sweet n sour chicken, and beef and chicken in birds nest for take out.
Bbq pork was dry and the sauce was a total miss for me, although my husband did enjoy.
The beef and chicken in birds nest is listed on the menu as “sliced beef, chicken, fresh broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, and carrots cooked with chefs special sauce in crispy basket”. I don’t know what the crispy basket is meant to be as it was nowhere to be found in our take out, and the meal I received also had huge slices of celery stalk and green pepper in it, which unfortunately, I strongly dislike. I had chosen this dish based off the menu description because it had listed all vegetables I was a big fan of, and this kind of ruined it for me.
Cream cheese wantons are not sweet (if you are used to a sweeter Rangoon), and the way their were folded and fried made them extra crunchy to the point I could not enjoy them and had to throw everything but the softer filled outside ring away.
The chicken in sweet and sour chicken was inconsistent in texture but over all tasted good according to my husband.
Fried rice was really dry, but the white rice was pleasant.
Overall, not the worst, I think maybe I just made a bad choice, but ultimately straying from the menu description was really disappointing.

As an asian, their food is just alright. I ordered their diced chicken lunch set and it was not bad, but the gravy was on the salty side. Usually, when i have salty food, the thirst for water kicks in after a few hours but when i ate that, it kicked in even before i finished my meal. Lunch prices vs the portion was fair, u get what u paid for, it was supposed to come with tea but we didn’t get any.
My bf ordered sweet and sour chicken with chow mein and it was weird he got a plate of cabbages in gravy, we checked the reviews and noticed lots of people having the same problem and the owner replied someone saying they do their chow mein differently and it’s more like chop suey. It’s weird why they wouldn’t change the chow mein term to chop suey but leave it as chow mein to mislead other’s thinking they would get noodles, especially when you google “china garden chow mein” they would show you brown noodles.
Overall, it’s an average chinese restaurant where i would go back when i want a quick chinese fix that is reasonably priced.

1 hour and 45 minutes for delivery food was almost room temperature my order was $110 and I tipped $17. They use their own delivery people. This is the last time I will order food delivery from any restaurant that does not use DoorDash my advice to these restaurants that don’t wanna pay DoorDash you’re losing business on delivery

I was there for lunch January 03. I ordered the sweet & sour chicken as a meal with white rice. And that is all I received… LOT of rice. And absolutely no veggies. This was my first and last visit to this eatery. Very disappointing….

The food is good but the restaurant needs a good cleaning. This is not a buffet so the food doesn’t sit out. The sweet and sour chicken is unfortunately the North Dakota norm. Batter dipped chicken and a separate red sauce. I would love to find real sweet and sour chicken.
Though the place was not busy, our booth was gross. Greasy hand prints and a questionable substance was on the glass and chairs.
My suggestion… order your food to go.

I wanted to get a vegetable with garlic sauce dish or just chopped garlic in the sauce if they don’t make a specific garlic sauce…and I got the order pretty fast like 10-15 min at most but when I went home to eat it, the smell was medicinal and I realized it was due to the many celery pieces they added which makes the whole dish taste really bad, there were fresh (not canned) mushrooms, onions, and some carrot slices. But the broccoli wasn’t really fresh and they added whole garlic pieces which were mushy and tasteless which happens when you don’t chop it for the flavor I was hoping for. Then after I put it in the fridge I saw that the sauce turned into a gelatin like texture. So I had to wash out all the sauce w a strainer and added my own chopped garlic and soy sauce to be able to eat it. Otherwise my $15 take out dish would have gone to waste.
The staff are nice and they were mostly young high school to college age students and they were kind and respectful. I just wish the food reflected the goodness of the hospitality. A nice surprise: A nice ramen like base soup…complimentary with the food. Has rice and scallions. Tasty.
