👍👍 As a kid, my family would always order from here and loved it. I moved away for a few years and compared any Chinese food to this place. Nothing lived up to it. I recently moved back to the area and was so excited to order from here. It did not disappoint and was just as I remembered. Their crab ran... People often mention order, chicken, Chinese, good, time,

    I previously gave a five star rating, however as we were waiting for our order tonight the woman carrying chicken nuggets dropped one on the floor placed it on the tray and put it into the fryer. Then she put crab Rangoon into the same oil. I am absolutely disgusted by this. We paid prior to seeing this and will not be back.

    It's the best fast food Chinese take out in the area, and I have to drive from Indiana to get it, lol! We've tried a lot of places and nothing comes close. The portions are large (can feed 2-3x people depending on what you order), and it's not very expensive. My favorite is the general Tao's chicken dinner. Everything else I've had has been delicious too. They've only made a mistake once or twice and the numerous times that I've gone there. Does this portion look small?

    As a kid, my family would always order from here and loved it. I moved away for a few years and compared any Chinese food to this place. Nothing lived up to it. I recently moved back to the area and was so excited to order from here. It did not disappoint and was just as I remembered. Their crab rangoons and pot stickers are amazing. Sesame chicken was always my favorite growing up and was so good. The dinner plates have so much food and can be shared or divided up into several meals. Can’t wait to have it again!!

    Every time I come into this place, there’s always some type of rude person behind the counter. I’ve been coming here for years. The only nice person is the young male who works. Doesn’t even matter if they’re food is good there service makes you not want to eat here ever again. Also, I’ve seen cockroaches in here. It may sound better, but it’s taken me at least two years to write this review after repeated times coming here. I definitely won’t be back.

    Have been a customer for decades, but I'm done now. The last two times we ordered have been terrible. Wrong items given to me the last time and this time the container was only filled 3/4 of a large order of chop suey and had no taste of spices as usual. Very bland tasting. Not sure if there have been changes of cooks, ownership, etc., but I will not be recommending them anymore.

    Went there for the first time in a while. Egg rolls were okay. House special fried rice was okay. Chicken curry lo mein, which the menu said was supposed to be spicy, was disappointing. Just noodles, onion and bland chicken in a bland brown gravy, no spicy heat, nor much flavor.

    Your food will be fresh and hot with a delicious taste of excellent Chinese cuisine. I have been enjoying their food since 2017.

    Bought dinner at China Garden tonight. Never going back. Beef Sesame was ALL dough and some other rubbery substance and cost $14.50. Next time I'll just buy a loaf bread. I went through each piece of so called Sesame Beef and there was a couple of pieces of beef but the rest of what you see in the Pic, is all dough. The only real or identifiable part of my meal was the broccoli. If they did me like this how many other people have they done this to and made a fortune in the process. Do not eat there. Major disappointment and they do not deserve the 1 star given.

    I ordered the Orange chicken. It was disgusting. There was no sauce and it was super dry. When I called to report the issue, they didn’t offer any sort of refund or discount. Never again!

    Great Chinese take out restaurant. Food is consistent, fresh and DELICIOUS. Large variety on menu.

  • 1/5 catie d. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to love this place back in 2012/2013. It has gone downhill drastically. The food has no flavor anymore. The staff isn't friendly, have no clue what's going on and get angry if you question anything. I understand inflation, but the past few times we've gone, it's been a $60+ bill for 2 people ordering minimal food. Last chance was this week, as I was sick and wanted soup and noodles plus one large entree for my husband (somehow totalling $55). Get there 6 minutes after placing order, told no cards - use atm. Nope - using a credit card, can't pull cash. We left after waiting awhile in case their machines started working again (we dont use cash often, wont pay atm fees and our bank isnt in the area). Over an hour and a half later they call me repeatedly saying come pick up food, it's ready. No thanks, I don't want food that's been sitting for that long. I'd rather travel to Tinley or Orland to find good chinese.

    Something has gone terribly wrong! What made this Chinese food stand out was the seasoning. That is no more. The last couple of times I got food was not the same. Extremely bland and not sure if it's the cooks are different. Please change things, I cannot go back until you do.

    Quick service and really great food 💛 I've had the sesame chicken and pot stickers. The white rice was actually really good which was a relief because I forgot to order fried. Came here on a whim and I don't regret it 😊

    Been coming to this place for years and the food is always delicious, and fresh, but I was very disappointed yesterday, I ordered a Large SHRIMP FRIES RICE AND LARGE SHRIMP LO MAIN NOODLES, I get home and there’s almost no shrimp at all, this is the first time it happens, I will never go back again to this place, the prices went up (which I get it) but I feel like my order was INCOMPLETE, I didn’t call to let them know I was super tired from work and didn’t feel like dealing with the grumpy Chinese lady who always answers the phone.

    We got horribly sick just few hours after eating their food. Their food was bland as well.

    Their smoothies are underrated for sure. So good and always good consistency. They always get my order right and are always fast and reliable for takeaway ❤️
