Horrible service. My order was placed at 1:30pm , didn’t get food till 2:00pm , it was bad Chinese food too , no taste and too expensive

Their stewed noodle is sooooo good. My go-to if I want noodles. That with some crispy Gaugee and chili oil - Pho-kin bomb.

First time here, and a satisfied customer. Food was on point, and excellent customer service. Enough food for a party of 6. This will be our go-to for Chinese food.

Great tasting Chinese food, I am so happy that Mini Garden is still available at this location after they were forced to leave the old 99 market location that is now Home Depot Moanalua. prices here are much better than other Chinese restaurants in this area and the food is always tasty. Highly recommended to give this spot a shot if your in the area and wanting some Chinese food.

Parking: lots of parking in the parking lot and there is no charge for parking here. there is street parking on both roads on either side of the parking lot also, but they are usually filled by the people who work in the surrounding area.

Mini Garden ExpressOverall: *** Ok ***Food: ***Value: **** cheap!Menu: ****Ambiance: *Service: self-serve / to-go

Parking: *****If you’re in the airport area and considering old style Chinese noodles or rice plates, Mini Garden Express may satisfy your hunger. They moved from Ranch 99 in 2023 to a small strip mall less than a mile from the airport.This is not a sit-down Jade, Kirin, Fook Yoon or Kapiolani Seafood quality, but for the price you can’t go wrong.Also, if you’re looking for food to take on a flight, this strip mall may satisfy every family member’s taste with Subway, Bale, Aloha Sushi, Nimitz Korean BBQ, Nimitz Mart and Papa’s Deli & Bento.RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER:Roast Duck & Ginger Chicken Rice = BWon Ton Min = BYelp: https://yelp.to/09izF1R2_QInstagram: MiltonIn808If you would like to see more restaurant reviews, ratings of each dish, my recommended order, and the complete video, follow me: MiltonIn808RATINGS KEY:A = Really Good - one of the bestB = Good - would order againC = ok - similar, nothing specialD = Not very good - wouldn’t orderF = Terrible - avoid

This is a local family run type place. Order at counter to eat in or take out. Lady taking orders was efficient, not super friendly.All food is served in Togo containers. There is one person taking orders and packing items which may be an issue for cross contamination.We order spring rolls, shrimp fried rice and Singapore noodles for $37. Portions were huge and incredibly affordable. We all enjoyed the yummy food. I have had better however the price was higher and portions were smaller. Solid lunch/dinner option.Would like to add a lady was cooking up wontons and noods that looked really good. If there wasn't a line I would have ordered then too.

I recently visited Mini Garden Express to get their tendon soup. Soup was amazing however when I first walked in unfortunately had a incredibly disappointing experience. It was clear that customer service was not a priority. Staff seemed irritated and making me feel like an inconvenience to them.

I’m so happy to find them again. Great food and prices! My go to Wonton and beef brisket Mein is definitely worth the drive. They do offer dine in and take out.

Parking: Stalls are wide and deep. But we went during dinner time so it’s not as crowded. Might be a lot busier during lunch.

Food is pretty good. I recommend the cold ginger chicken with char sue on a bed of rice with a splash of soy sauce, which really nicely ties it all together.
