    The Food is terrible; I'm talking worst food ever; I ended up trashing it up. If there were a way to give it Zero stars, I would in a heartbeat. No one deserves to waste their money this way.

    Since my favorite chinese restaurant is now permanently closed, I have to find another place that offers good chinese food. Mini Garden didn't disappoint. Their young chow fried rice is really tasty! This place also has catering menu. They have a big dining space so it's good for big groups. There's parking beside and in front of the building.

    Great Chinese food here! Plenty of seating, service can be suboptimal but for the most part acceptable. Pricing reasonable. This place is best for groups!

    I was impressed how fast the food came out. Just wished it remained hot... Didn't feel the AC was cold enough to cool it down, makes my think the food was prepped ahead of time then heated up because the taste was kinda bland. For the price it's pretty decent. Can't go wrong with getting their signature dishes like volcano beef and chefs shrimp balls. It's not a flawless experience but above mediocre.

    They have an extensive menu with many vegetarian options. There were many locals there in their COVID compliant dining room. We were picking up only one dish and ran into a neighborhood local who raved about the place. The service was extremely quick and the Salt and Pepper Tofu was delicious! Judging by the crowd of what appeared to be regulars, the reviews on the wall and the yummy dish we sampled...we were fortunate to find Mini Garden.

    Yummy vegan/vegetarian options! Meat alternatives are good, some better than others. I enjoyed the mock beef.

    Super tasty food, convenient parking, and fantastic service - we were welcomed in for a take-out order even after closing! Totally not expected, but much appreciated. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced.

    I wish there was an option for a zero star. Arguably the worst food I have ever tasted in my life.

  • 3/5 Max B. 3 years ago on Google
    I was pleased to see this restaurant offer so many vegan menu items. First off, I would recommend not getting the vegan broccoli beef—it wasn’t bad it just wasn’t good. The spring roles were meh. And the volcano spare ribs were lit (literally, on fire)—fun in presentation and flavor. The staff were super hard working and very attentive, high marks for service. TW if it bothers you to see marine animals kept in crowded tanks with dirty water, avoid avoid.

    A family fave. We enjoy some nonstandard fare. Always enjoy the food here

    My girl and I ordered from here and the food was so bland it was unbelievable, the crispy noodles were sitting in gloop that made them soft and the chicken we had seemed like it was cooked a week ago. It was so nasty we couldn't eat it. To top it all off dumplings looked like they were undercooked. Don't bother ordering from here, believe me. (This could be Uber eats fault but they didn't even have drinks on the menu so when we called for verification and asked her to add a drink, they couldn't do it)

    My wife was craving Chinese food during our trip to Hawaii, so we found this place. The food was good, and there were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The kids really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was typical Chinese restaurant. The staff was friendly and serve speed was quick. We came a couple of times, especially when we had to do laundry.

    Super expensive. Expect to pay at least $20 per a person. Their appetizers are at least $10 each. I got the fried rice and char siu and it was heavenly. It was the best fried rice I have had in a very long time. The char siu was also very good. My partner got the beef tenderloin curry and it was alright. I wouldn’t recommend it however. I would try to fried rice and char siu if you try this place! It’s so good!

    Auntie treated us to dinner here and she pre-ordered the meal. Absolutely fantastic food with perfect texture and varied exciting flavors.
