    I'll start by saying, the food is worth every dollar!!! Minus the grease. Had the steamed wantons. An acquiring taste but okay. Vegetable spring rolls were great and the mala chicken- amazing.. spices just right. Servings are large so be careful not to order too much for 1 person. Ambiance is okay (guess they go for that traditional asain feel). Small space. Be mindful when going at lunch hour (a lot of take outs). Turnaround time for orders was relatively short. Our server Giovanni was very professional.

    The ambiance of this restaurant was wonderful.Upon taking our order our starters came out within 5mins followed by our main meal 10 minutes later.Our waiter Sheldon was amazing he was friendly,kind,polite and hospitable, he also gave my child some more sweets which was great. Antony was also very friendly and polite. As British holidaymakers we shall definitely return and highly recommend to others. Prices are reasonable we paid 8,000 jmd for a meal for 3.

    China Gardens Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the New Kingston area. I have been going here for over 6 years and I have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and ambience is relaxing. It is always best to order first before going as they are always busy. The have a wide variety to choose from and lomein is always perfect. You can always add on more rice and buy extra sauce. They are a little bit pricey but it's all worth it. I can't comment on their restroom at this as I have not used or know if it exist. You can dine in. I swear when you dine in the food is way more for the price. When dining in I recommend of group as there will be a lot of food to go around plus everyone can order different things off the menu to share with each other. Love the aquariums with goldfish or whatever they are.

    My first visit to China Garden and overall very pleased with the service and food. Highly recommend the corn and chicken soup, sweet and sour chicken, and the garlic shrimp...10/10 Overall, I was very happy with our waitress Bree. She was very attentive and friendly to our party of five. I'm definitely looking forward to another visit when visiting Kingston.

    Most affordable place for a filling meal and I have never been disappointed....always delicious. My entire family loves the food here. The sweet and sour chicken wings are yummy, also the fish and veg. Absolutely everything is delicious. Easy on the pocket.

    Reasonably priced Chinese take out and the food is not bad. Parking can be a hassle however as parking spaces are limited especially during lunch time. There is no wheelchair access ramp so if you have that particular disability and wanted to eat there, that would be a problem.

  • 2/5 Simply K. 1 year ago on Google
    The lunch rush is excruciating, the ordering process is stressful as no one answers the calls and when you go in the place is excessively full and some of the cashier is practicing favoritism. The food is good but the shrimp and noodles had a burnt smell to it.

  • 2/5 nan.suzette 1 year ago on Google
    I am rating not on dine-in service but lunch. Rice was not cooked properly, service was terrible - no order to the madness of paying and waiting for your meal and the service area was small based on the crowd there. I have been to several Chinese restaurants and this was by far my worst experience. The first I was visiting and I will definitely not be going there again.

    The service is decent. They process orders pretty quickly tho I always call in and recommend doing so for a speedier experience. I mostly buy their shrimp in black bean sauce and it's always amazing. It never disappoints. The price is very affordable and the amount I always get is considered very satisfactory to me.

  • 4/5 Max M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is excellent and worth the price however I had to give it a 4 because there is very little parking spaces. I was blocked in for 30 minutes this evening which resulted in my being caught in rush hour traffic ..i was most annoyed.They have grown out this location for sure and need somewhere with better parking.for their customers

    I ordered lunch and they told me 15 minutes for pickup. When I got there the food was ready for pickup. The food was also very good. The staff is not so friendly though.

    Food not as great as it used to be. Service is slow and unorganized. Atmosphere is very small and not suitable for take out. Need better and more convenient service area with organization and structure.

  • 5/5 Charlette W. 7 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    My group of 8 (with seating for 7) was warmly welcomed; in fact a few gentlemen saw our dilemma with table and seating and were kind enough to give up there place to make us comfortable sitting beside each other. Our waiter Gio was also hospitable. #greatexperience

  • 4/5 W R. 5 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    The food was tasty and fresh. The service was excellent. It is a bit dated in decor, but you don't visit for the looks, you visit for the meals and it was pretty good.

  • 4/5 Matlock 7 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    It is one of the best Chinese restaurants. The food tastes good, and the amount is sufficient. So far, only their sweet n sour pork I don't like because it's a little tough.

  • 2/5 Phillip C. 2 years ago on Google
    Slow takeout service. Spring rolls were greasy and had to laid out on paper napkins for 15mins. Additionally no napkins came in the order

  • 5/5 Kera Deans (. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Kayla A. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is great. But I wished their spicy would be more spicy

  • 5/5 Jullene R. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shanique L. 6 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Though small and far from luxurious, China Garden is a welcoming, cozy place to enjoy good food and great service for an excellent price. It's definitely my go-to spot for a nice sit-down lunch.

  • 4/5 Terry D. 2 years ago on Google
    Consistently good food. The wait time is ridiculous tho so, ensure you order ahead before you go in for pick up.

  • 5/5 Dominic B. 2 years ago on Google
    I am a fiend for their Choy Fan D. Call ahead to order for faster takeout. Great prices, generous portions, great food.. who could ask for more?

  • 5/5 Rolling With The C. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Chinese food in Kingston. When you go ask for Ingrid Best Customer Service!

  • 4/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    Their food is good in general, both dine in and take out. Their prices are competitive and reasonable. Parking is at a premium, but is available for free by the side of the building. Dining in allows you to take a break from the outside while being partially hidden inside. The dining area is tucked away inside, seperated from the general ordering and waitinf area. It's generally not crowded and makes the wait for the food far less agonizing compared to other facilities. The staff are courteous, warm and welcomes you onbever visit, from the guard at the door to the delivery to you. All Covid19 protocols are in place.

  • 5/5 LPT 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and service too. Food tastes delicious and is good value. Visiting from the UK and have already been twice in one week!

  • 4/5 John-Earle S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good Chinese food in a "mom & pop" setting. This restaurant has a loyal following though the majority of their meals are ordered as takeout even before COVID-19. This may be due to its small size but don't be fooled - it is a New Kingston hallmark. This restaurant is a 'Daniel' - a giant slayer and definitely worth your money.

  • 1/5 Ashli M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed in the food I had here. Went of my way to try their food and the rice didn’t even taste like fried rice and no gravy on it all. Chicken was not good at all either and the attitude of the servers were not great. So disappointed I didn’t even want to eat my food. If I was close by after tasting it, I would’ve returned it.

  • 5/5 shavena C. 2 years ago on Google
    The ambiance was absolutely amazing ! Sheldon has been our server and he does an amazing job every single time! Food is placed on our table within minutes and it’s always so tasty ! Try the steamed wontons, you won’t regret it ✨💛

  • 5/5 Latoya W. 2 years ago on Google
    Was great experience. A lot of food the server was very experience.would do back again

  • 5/5 kerry Ann D. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shemory N. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is really amazing. Best options to do is take out. Space is a little cramped but the food is really good. Especially the spice sauce.

  • 5/5 SoldierBoy 8. 7 months ago on Google
    This was my first time stopping here, I like the ambiance, the food was good too, I will definitely be dining here soon.

  • 4/5 Obrien B. 7 months ago on Google
    The food I had was excellent. the service was courteous and friendly.

  • 4/5 Asante B. 9 months ago on Google
    I especially love their sea food option, special fried rice and their noodles. The bad thing is, so does a lot of persons so it is often crowded and hard to find parking sometimes. Never dined though but it has a nice Chinese atmosphere (not like I've been to china but I've watch a great deal of karate movies 😆).

  • 5/5 Shaneil T. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is always on point. ALWAYS

  • 5/5 Takara R. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Horace 1 year ago on Google
    If you go here, I highly recommend you try their Special saltfish fried rice. I also ordered mine spicy. Very delicious. Prices are reasonable and great setting for dining in or grab n go.

  • 5/5 Jey K. 1 year ago on Google
    This isn't somewhere you go for the atmosphere but for the amazing food. The food comes out quickly and tastes great.

  • 4/5 Keila M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is generally good but try not to order during the rush hour; the service is quick but the quality can be affected due to the crowd.

  • 5/5 Tanya H. 1 year ago on Google
    I love picking up food from China Gardens. I visit often and their curry chicken, roast pork, and chow mein are my favorites. Once you call in your order the process is smooth.

  • 4/5 Gosford L. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice little chinese restaurant, they provide take out and dine in. Although dining in is a little extra, I enjoyed it. The staff was nice and courteous. Wait time wasn't very long and the food was nice. I'll eat there again.

  • 4/5 Mark H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is always good, more of a takeaway place. Can get a bit crowded at lunch time and Friday nights. 9/10 times they don't answer the phone definitely not a place to call in an order for pickup.

  • 1/5 Allabout _. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is awful. The curry shrimp was soooooo white like they just dip the shrimp in curry water. The fried rice was horrible and dry. I will never go back.

  • 5/5 Patrice A. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite Chinese Restaurant since 2002. Havent been there in years. Food still nice

  • 1/5 Nicola G. 1 year ago on Google
    I am so disappointed with the order I got today. I ordered two meals with noodles and two types chicken each only. Only to received the actual Oder plus extra rice in a smaller container. 🤔 Malah chicken which should be spicy was not and the sweet n sour chicken having the same colour and taste as the Malah chicken. The chicken steak has a spoilt taste and the noodles have no taste. The fried rice also had a stale taste. It appears as if it's left over food. 😔 Sorry China Garden Restaurant, I will not support your restaurant.

  • 4/5 Kyhian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is quite good compared to others at this price point (lunch special). Impossible to place a phone order though.

  • 4/5 Kirk-Patrick W. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is excellent but the service need to be more efficient and your phone calls to make orders, go unanswered.

  • 4/5 Kwane B. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is somewhat hidden but well known. Food is good. Real good. COVID means less dining in but the ambience is cozy and there's a wide variety of Jamaican-Chinese dishes. Some of the things in store seem out of place like the very outdoor 3 seater chair in the main area, but it's an easy overlook when you're hungry. In addition be prepared to wait. They have a huge crowd and even though they work super fast, it's the line that takes the time, not the delivery. I recommend

    Person can call in and preorder their food so that when they get there they pay and collect. Cutting the wait time drastically. Food is in large portions and affordable.

  • 3/5 Jantu C. 2 years ago on Google
    Dine in first time in years and was disappointed. The food was good but the service and the environs were not up to par. We were forgotten by the server and after paying we could not get a copy of the bill for ourselves. Takeout is fine but don't recommend dining in

  • 4/5 Kirkdale A. 2 years ago on Google
