    Really surprised this place is still open. When we got there we saw a big pile of raw pork sitting out in the dining room adjacent to where we were seated. When we left it was still sitting there. The server came by once to take our order and once to drop it off. Never once came back which was especially frustrating because she gave me something other than what I ordered. I was able to finish mine because I was so hungry my fiance's lemon chicken was so bad she didn't have more than 2 bites and left the rest. I eventually had to get up to find the server to pay because she just left us without ever coming back.

    Danger! There was a sharp metal shaving in my food. Would have done serious harm if swallowed. Do not eat here!

    The crispy Gau Gee and rice tasted fine. But we did not like anything else we ordered. Which was Mongolian Beef and Stuffed Tofu. Burnt beef and onion or at least over cooked. I used to love stuffed tofu. But this was spongy, so maybe if you like fried tofu it would be different for you. But the taste of the sauce was not to my liking at all. I prefer the traditional gravy. Very rarely do I not eat something outright. Not for me at all.

    Great food and authentic recipes make this a hidden gem! Affordable food with authentic (and some not so authentic) roots in southern China. Had a great conversation with the waitress who was very knowledgeable. I wouldn't be surprised if she was family of the ownership.

    ok~ish American style Chinese food. There really were no other options in Kailua area for Chinese restaurants.

  • 1/5 Hanna J. 6 years ago on Google
    My husband always finishes his food no matter what. He ordered the dinner plate and the rice was crunchy, and all the meat was “disgusting and way too chewy.” This was the first time he ever had to throw away food. My chow mein was bland but okay. We won’t be ordering here again.

    Had the orange chicken with steamed rice lunch special. It was outstanding.

  • 5/5 Ivette K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best soup been 12 years since I left Kailua and the owner still remembers me and my order always ate here for lunch when I lived here. Happy it was still open enjoyed the soup still tastes as delicious as I remember it.

    Hands down best Chinese food on the island. Absolute best Peking duck I’ve ever had also. Food here is consistently excellent and the service is A+ always.

  • 5/5 Steven M. 1 year ago on Google
    By far best Chinese food on island the portions are huge, food is amazing, and staff are incredibly friendly.

    Ordered takeout for the first time over the phone and informed them of our food allergies. They made menu recommendations based on our needs and dishes were not only allergen free but were delicious.

  • 5/5 Madhuri D. 1 year ago on Google
    Authentic Chinese food and large portion sizes and service was awesome.

  • 5/5 Toni G. 6 months ago on Google
    Best Chinese take out/delivery on the windward side, in my opinion. This restaurant really cares about each dish and pours love into it.

  • 3/5 Peter V. 3 years ago on Google
    The fried rice was good but other dishes left something to be desired.

  • 5/5 Nicole L. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has straight forward delicious food. Whenever I don't feel well this is comfort food for my soul. Very fresh. Generous portions and always friendly staff .Family owned local business is a plus too. Yum.

  • 5/5 Noah W. 3 years ago on Google
    Always nice and good food! Orange chicken, chicken fried rice, and spring rolls are 💯

  • 5/5 Kaydee G. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is just nostalgic. I've never seen it busy but it's been around for decades. I think most people just get takeout. When you get your food they will also give you tea. They leave the kettle on the table share.

  • 3/5 Cristy C. 3 years ago on Google
    There food is to oily

  • 5/5 Christian R. 4 years ago on Google
    It makes me sad that on a Friday night (7/12), at dinner time, this place was absolutely dead. We were the only people dining in at the time so we were of course immediately seated. The food is fantastic here! I came here with a party of 7, including some family from the mainland, and everyone was impressed with the food quality. The dishes that were fried were fried well so it was crisp but not oily, and everything else was seasoned well and flavorful. The Taro Duck and fried string beans is a must have if you're into that kind of thing! Many local Chinese restaurants add tons of MSG so you're incredibly thirsty afterwards; but not this place: which I really love. The Chinese women taking our order was very nice and attentive as well! They even brought us a complimentary dessert. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant on the Windward side! Chinese Garden has been here for a long time, and I hope business here picks up so they can continue to be here for a long time to come.

    The scallops were yummy! I love garlic so they were perfect for me.

  • 3/5 Stephen F. 4 years ago on Google
    Did not have any fortune cookies for starters. Then the general tso chicken had an interesting taste. It was overall ok but not in my top five.

  • 5/5 Lea H. 3 years ago on Google
    We love this place. It's our go-to, all the time. Stop in for lunch, or pick up take out for dinner, its always good. A nice family run neighborhood restaurant.

  • 5/5 Malie H. 4 years ago on Google
    If you’re vegetarian, this is the place for you! Even if you’re not vegetarian and enjoy the flavors of a great Chinese restaurant, you’ll find the best flavors here! The best garlic tofu!!!
