Overall, it was really good. I have the Generals Chicken with fried rice and an egg roll. Some of the best Generals Chicken from recent memory. A little sweet, and less spicy than I am used to. Will definitely go again.

The food was fresh and and wonderful. I took my family and we all thoroughly enjoyed the potstickers. They were crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Just like the orange chicken. It was so good. I highly recommend the tofu Chinese vegetables. best tofu dish I have ever tried. Tofu was crispy and flavorful we also ordered the chicken curry and it is a dish. I would order 10 times again. Everything was delicious. And the staff was very kind. Very clean and well taken care of restaurant. I will definitely come back if I'm in town.

Honestly. This place just didn’t taste good. Very bland. The most blah taste I have ever had from a restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend.

Chinese garden has the best lo mein in idaho falls hands down. Lo mein is supposed to be soft and saucy, not dry like chow mein. The BBQ pork is my favorite! Delicious!

Every bit of this food was AWFUL. The egg roll got thrown in the garbage. The chicken was subpar, definitely not restaurant quality. The fried was was... the same. Not worth the $25 I spent. I could have gotten better quality at half the cost from Walmart frozen

The wontons and the lo mien are both very good, but we were not a fan of the fried rice, or the orange and sweet n sour chicken. The fried rice just didn’t have any flavor, and I don’t know if it’s because we ordered delivery, but the chicken overall was not the best. Both sauces didn’t taste great… the sweet n sour one in particular tasted just like a fair funnel cake with strawberry syrup. It wouldn’t be a big deal, but it cost over $60 for the appetizer and two chicken dishes which is wayyyy too expensive for dishes that don’t even taste right.

We did takeout. Originally I thought it was pricey, but when I looked at the quantity I was happy. We got a selection of items and the flavors were good. Will definitely add them to our gotos.

This place is grear. Exactly what you'd expect from strip mall/take out Chinese. Fast, Packaged well for take out. The hot and sour soup is amazing if you like that vinegar/spice bite, I'm literally addicted. I wish the menu had better descriptions so you know what you are getting, but the food here is really good.

If you told me the owners were white Americans trying to pull this restaurant off with Panda Express knowledge, I would believe you.My roommate spent $60 on this place, we’re both full time college students and we both work over 40 hours a week, so we DoorDashed it as even an hour away from work or studying is really bad.This was also my first Chinese restaurant experience living here as I just moved here, and boy, was this one for the books in the worst way! I take back what I said - if I could do it all over again, I would go to Panda Express, even for “traditional” this place misses the mark. If you want authentic/traditional, take a trip to the Seattle area, it’s the closest place to Idaho that actually has it. I’m disgusted. Why you ask?Egg roll? Half of it was fully cooked, until I bit into the second half and it was uncooked dough. Think slimy, raw dough texture, and not the chewy texture of egg rolls.My cashew chicken? One singular cashew. If I wanted hoisin chicken and veggies I would order that.The fried rice? Wait, did that say fried? They mean steamed white rice, with oil and ham mixed in to be “fried.”That’s before I get into the problems with her meal.I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, especially after working in restaurants. We called twice, and the horrific employees (I am HOPING they are not owners because that would be an embarrassment) hung up on us both times.So now we have food that is either a safety hazard to eat (the egg roll) or is just so poorly made I have to recook literally everything. Will never order again. This “establishment” deserves no praise.
