Wow, we had such a great experience at the Gourmet garden. We typically order take out, but decided to dine in because the interior is so nice. The service was so friendly, efficient and the food was so fresh and delicious. The place was busy and I can see why. We’ll be back again soon and will include karaoke night!

Just at the restaurant and ordered Salmon Teriyaki. Not edible. Menu said it came with salad, waiter said not tonight though. Salmon was overcooked to the point it was too dry to chew and swallow. Brocolli on plate was cooked just a little, which is OK but it was ice cold. Rice served with meal was cold and dried out, I did not want to enter intro a dialogue with the staff so I asked to take it all home, but ditched in the nearest rubbish bin.

No experience with the food always missing something We order big ball of seafood soup when we take back home it was half of them in the small container. This is ridiculous.

Excellent place to go for dinner if you’re trying to lose weight. Gourmet Garden? More like Diarrhea Garden!
I had been a faithful customer for well over a decade, but for the past few years every time I come back and give GG another shot it seems to find new ways to get worse. The interior is rapidly falling apart, the front of house staff is often very rude, and the food quality is extremely inconsistent.
Tonight was the cherry on top when I (along with a couple other members of my family) got very bad food poisoning almost immediately after dining. Will never be coming back here again, and plan on calling for a full refund tomorrow when I’m hopefully done feeling extremely ill.

Wow ?. I am genuinely astonished at how every item in my order managed to taste so unappealing. It's difficult to convey just how disappointing the flavors were. I ordered white rice, shrimp egg foo young, pepper-fried shrimp, and what can only be described as very artificial-tasting and looking chicken.
I had high hopes for this meal, especially since it was quite an expensive order, and I intended to enjoy it for lunch. Unfortunately, the experience was so unpleasant that I simply couldn't bring myself to eat any of it. It felt like a form of culinary torture. I strongly advise against trying this place; it was truly a dreadful experience. 0/10

I love Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and I found both here as either dine-in, pickup, or delivery. When I dine there with friends, it is a happy place where waiters make sure you are enjoying the food and having a fun time. Service is courteous and quick. If I order delivery, the service is FAST, the food is HOT, and the delivery person is there with a SMILE, always. The food is delicious, and the selections are interesting. Trust me, you will be very full and well satisfied with all that the Gourmet Garden staff has to offer you.
