Came in at around noon after a long walk. I already had looked online and knew exactly what I was going to order. I ordered #13 off the Luncheon Menu: The crispy bone-in chicken. I've had what I believed to be the same dish at several restaurants, mostly Sichuan speciality places and they are almost universally excellent. After placing my order, the woman behind the counter confirmed number 13, and I said yes, number 13.

After a very brief wait, they served me the soup of the day, some sort of wonton soup. It was okay. One wonton was slightly cool in the center, but it was a very large wonton, and the filling was clearly pre-cooked so it wasn't any concern.

A very brief period after that, the first of three orders was presented to me. The woman behind the counter was doing double duty as the server, and sort of proudly declared lemon chicken. Confused, I told her that it was not what I ordered and she insisted it was. I insisted it was not and she asked what I did order. I told her again, that I had ordered the crispy bone in chicken, and she nodded, and stepped away with the chicken.

After a slightly longer wait she set down a plate of sesame chicken and began walking away. This was absolutely not what I had ordered, but I did not want to cause any more trouble so began eating.

To the credit of the restaurant, this was a pretty good sesame chicken. The coating was extraordinarily crisp, and the portions were very generous. The sauce was very simple, and quite sweet, but it was altogether very good.

A bit into eating, a man (I assume to be the cook) came up to me and said sesame chicken, right? And I said that I was eating sesame chicken, though it was not what I ordered, but it was fine and that I did not mind. He asked what I did order and explained again, and he he checked the menu with me and began to take the food away. I protested mildly, but since he seemed set on replacing my meal, I relented. As he walked away , he told me to simply say the name of what I wanted rather than the number. Frustrated by the ordeal, I said nothing.

After a decent wait, the food arrived. It was not what I expected, but the spicy sauce was intriguing enough that I tried it. The dish was bad. The chicken has a very metallic aftertaste, and is drier then I expected. The skin is very crisp but difficult to keep on the chicken, and carries it's own strange aftertaste. The sauce is okay, rich, sweet, and has just a tinge of spice.

All in all, I will never return to Rose Garden, but if you properly communicate exactly what you want, in excruciatingly certain terms, you could probably fill yourself up with relatively cheap, and somewhat tasty americanized Chinese food.

Do not order #13. It is perhaps the only Chinese food I've ever had that I would call terrible in every way

I love coming here. The food is delicious and the staff

Vegetarian options: I did not buy a vegetarian option, but if you want vegetarian options then the staff will surely make it for you.

Kid-friendliness: I didn't bring a child, I just brought myself to pick up the food for my nursing staff's birthday party.

Best take out ever, idk what people are saying you know some restaurants specialize in certain things. The sesame chicken, fried rice and chow mein are the BESTTTT flavor hits every time and has a smokiness to the food, been coming here since I was a kid . I now live where there's a whole Chinatown and I drive to San Leandro every time I want Chinese food. If they ever close i will cry.

Loved the food. We ordered kung pao tofu and kung pao chicken. The food was fresh and very tasty. The quantity was more than what we could have. Thanks again for the wonderful food and customer service. We will surely be back.
