Was met by a man that couldn’t speak English. He handed me a paper in Chinese and said something about drinks. I asked if they were open for food. He didn’t understand so I left. There was no one there to eat or order. I hope they get things figured out

Had to stop eating the braised beef halfway through the meal due to not knowing what kind of meat it was...tasted almost like liver fir some reason. The beef was not falling apart, it was mostly hard fatty pieces that felt a bit off to me. Didn't want to get sick so stopped halfway through the bowl. The place smells like a bathroom now. Pre covid it was always a good spot to get a quick meal at...now I'm not so sure. Maybe they are going through a hard period?

Food's okay but nothing special, service members are consistently rude and in need of discipline. After one of them criticized my choice of food and tossed it onto the table, played obnoxiously loud memes on the television, only to then ask for an 18% tip, I swore to never go here again. It's a place ran by children and the management needs to get a grip.

Watch out from that place.I ordered the veggie fried rice option to go from the menu and it turned out to contain pork. I even called them to ask what were the chicken-like chunks in my dish and they admitted they were pork.If a a dish that says veggie but has meat in it is not misleading and a border-line deceit, I don't know what is.

Worst fried rice ever. And they charge $15. It was virtually devoid of pork and vegetables. Never going there again

I got fried chicken noodle. It tasted great, not too oily or salty. The chicken was crispy and yummy

This place is so good. The best Chinese beef stew noodle soups I've ever had. A must have here! Everything my family and I ordered came out super amazing! Price is great too. They have a combo meal of milk tea with meal for $15.99. Very friendly service and quick too! Coming back for sure!
The bento box is big, good for two meals for girl. And it's quite yummy too.

I had to try this location after enjoying the same restaurant in Arcadia. The menu here is slightly different without the option of mustard green fried rice with the fried pork chop - you would have to order them separately here, so we opted fto go with the steamed rice. In general, the food at the Arcadia location is better but also a greater distance away from Orange County. The beef roll is what I would recommend at this location.

The place always smells like a restroom. The good thing is they have wifi.

My order from their menu is always the Dan Dan noodle. I think there’s no place that makes Dan Dan noodles as good as here. The servers are always friendly and helpful, the chef always makes the best food, and there’s plenty of tables for customers. I hope there were more Dings Gardens around Orange County. This is my #1 Chinese food restaurant.

The dishes taste authentic! Service is superb! Most importantly, the prices are slightly cheaper than the Chinese restaurant at UTC.
