Willow Garden is a small, family-owned Chinese restaurant known for its delicious food. The dry fried beef chow fun is a standout dish, while the orange chicken and combination chow mein are also popular choices. Customers praise the food as the tastiest takeout Chinese in the area, with fried rice and chow mein made from scratch. The hot sauce is highly recommended, with some customers even asking to purchase it. The restaurant focuses on the food rather than fancy atmosphere, with no-frills decor and about 5-6 tables plus a service counter. Service can be simple and straightforward, and the atmosphere isn't fancy. Despite occasional slow service and limited condiments, many customers keep returning for the tasty food. The food is always fresh when ordered, especially the lunch meals and à la carte dishes. Customers often enjoy dishes like beef chow mein, beef fried rice, general chicken, and honey walnut shrimp, which never disappoint. The restaurant staff, possibly the owner, are always sweet, super nice, and talkative, making the experience pleasant. While the decor is just okay and some areas like the table can be sticky, overall, Willow Garden is a reliable spot for Chinese takeout and dine-in, especially for quick bites. It is easy to access from I-80 with plenty of parking and offers a variety of dishes including claypots and salted fish chicken fried rice.
