This was our first order after 27 years living in the area. Ordered using DoorDash and it was a very smooth delivery that arrived in 30 minutes. Food was nice and hot and very good!

A small suburban neighborhood Chinese restaurant with sleek decor and sleek food. Not too crowded, though on one Saturday lunchtime the empty restaurant was invaded by an enormous party (with a reservation) just as I was about to leave. I like the lunch special menu, which gives you a choice of standard dishes in a moderate but filling quantity, and for $1 extra a choice of sides beyond steamed rice, including steamed veggies which I was very glad to have. Soup is also extra, though not really necessary, so there is a feeling of being nickled-and-dimed here, but the food and service are good. When here for dinner, I looked at the "old-time favorites" part of the menu, which did have things like egg food yung, but I ordered dumplings in beef gravy, which is a dish I'd never heard of, but it was thick and delicious as well as sleekly made, which is also true of the lunch specials. Well worth stopping at.

If I could give negative 10 stars I would. This place makes tasteless nasty sour dishes. We ordered a few items off the menu and there wasn't a dish that tasted remotely good. All the vegetarian items we ordered were super sour, bland, oily, and with no vegetables whatsover in it. It just had chunks of sour tofu which tasted and smelt like an old mop cloth.????Each entree is about 18-19 bucks if not more! For a strip mall, hole in the wall, and bad quality of tasteless food, this place should be a hard pass. Service sucks as well.The icing to the cake is it's NOT CHEAP either!I'd rather starve than eat anything at this place once more. T E R R I B L E!!!

This is a staple in Union City and has been around longer than I can imagine. Growing up lots of folks would come here and rave about their walnut shrimp. I came here on a Friday evening with some family and had dinner here. The restaurant had a handful of groups dining in, but towards the end of the meal it was quite empty. Surprised at the low traffic in this restaurant! We tried the pre-selected family dinner course since there was 6 of us, for about ~$23 a person, forgot the exact cost. Overall we had lots of food and the pricing was not bad. The family dinner came with soup, fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour pork, appetizers of fried egg rolls and some fried thing with shrimp inside, cashew chicken, Mongolian beef, broccoli prawns, and we also ordered a side of green beans and walnut shrimp. Total came out to about ~$230 including tax/tip for 6 people, which wasn't too bad. Lots of food were had and we had leftovers for the next day. Service was fast and attentive. Everybody loved the cashew chicken and the walnut shrimp, I personally liked the broccoli prawns and Mongolian beef. I would come back here to grab their lunch specials one of these days. Overall this spot is a classic Chinese restaurant to bring family/large groups.

LIGHTLY BREADED AND SAUCED I came here to eat because Rose Garden Restaurant is a participating diner partner as Caesars Rewards Dining. As a Caesars Rewards Member I get reward credits when I eat at restaurants that are part of Caesars Rewards Dining. The more reward credits I earn I can use to redeem to get comp or discounted stay at a Las Vegas at The Strip. The first time I came here for lunch. I ordered the Combination C Plate, which included sweet and sour pork, chow mein, and fried rice. I am a sucker for deep fried, breaded, sauced meat items. Most of the time when I eat those items I feel floated due to the heavy sauce. One thing I noticed about the sweet and sour pork was the sauce was light and runny. Also the breading was lightly coated. The combination of the two made the sweet and sour pork at Rose Garden Restaurant enjoyable without feeling queasy. The next time I came here I tried the new item - sesame chicken. The menu stated they were lightly breaded. I expected the consistency of the sauce to be similar to the sweet and sour pork I ate here. I noticed the sauce for the sesame chicken was heavier in texture than the sweet and pork. Hence the breading became too soggy. The sesame chicken was meaty I just wish the breading was crunchy. Almost three months later I came here for dinner. In fact I came here on a Wednesday in February that was not only Ash Wednesday, but also Valentines' Day. As that night was Ash Wednesday in trying to observe as a Catholic I ordered honey walnut prawns - one of the specialties at Rose Garden. The honey walnut prawns are a test to see how well a deep-fried breaded meat item is. Unlike walnut prawns I ate at other Chinese restaurants this dish is lightly sauced. You can actually see the prawns are not covered by the white, thick sauce that is associated with walnut prawns. How was the taste? I can taste the flavor of the walnuts. The breading maintained a slightly crispy texture. After eating the honey walnut prawns at Rose Garden Restaurant I didn't feel bloated as I've had with other walnut prawn dishes from other Chinese restaurants. The only mistake I made was ordering the salt pepper tofu. It was delicious, but I became a too full as I ordered two deep fried dishes that night. After three eating experiences at Rose Garden Restaurant my two favorite dishes were the sweet and sour pork and honey walnut prawns. That was because these dishes were lightly breaded and sauced. I can taste the meat along with the sauce. Also the sauces didn't smoother the dishes. If you eat a dish with a heavy sauce you get to feel bloated after eating. Maybe next time when I come to Rose Garden Restaurant I will try the sweet and sour chicken.

I group placed a takeout order on a week night for a group meeting. Our order was ready on time and everyone was quite pleased with the items. The vegetable eggrolls were fresh and crispy on the outside, generous filling on the inside. The sweet and sour sauce was yummy. The chicken fried rice was still warm and tasted fresh. The vegetable fried rice was filled with great vegetables including zucchini and asparagus as well as the traditional veggies. We also got some veggie balls that were coated with sesame seeds and dipped them in a hot mustard sauce... wow! My first time trying them, but certainly not the last. Thanks Suzanna for taking such good care of us. May your restaurant have much success!

We had a group of four tonight. We each ordered 1 item, so we had the Mu shu pork, basil chicken, chicken salad and honey walnut prawns. The Prawns were the hit. Everything was taste, but the best chicken salad is still at Tao Tao in Sunnyvale. I've never had plum sauce served with Chinese chicken salad but it worked.
Having a hard time calling them. Tried 3x about 5 minutes apart and after 11:30am and no one's answering. Website is also outdated. These are easy fixes but it seems they're on self destruct. I really liked the quality of their food and hope they are still available.

Ordered party trays of eggrolls and potstickers and they were great. Crispy and hot and they were all eaten. Order and pickup was a breeze.

There was 9 of us & each person said the same thing. "The food looked great until we started eating & it's SALTY!"

Fried rice had zero flavor, the chow mein was similar. I've never had fried rice that obviously didn't have any soy sauce in it, incredibly disappointing.
