My children wanted to take me out for Mother's Day dinner. We could have gone many places but a friend of mine suggested China Garden and that the Chef/Owner Christine would prepare us "authentic prepared" Chinese food. We answered a few simple questions about food allergies and preferences then she prepared a wonderful family style meal for us. We had fried mushrooms, dumplings, fried rice, some eggplant, fiddlehead, chicken stir fry, broccoli pepper and seafood stir fry, and a wonderful sesame crusted dessert. I was so thankful for her enthusiasm; preparing, explaining, and checking on us. We had a lovely time and think we have now found our new Chinese go to restaurant. Thank you Christine and staff. ❤️❤️Teressa, Megan, Nick, and Chanel.

Ask Christine for vegan dishes. She is very nice and will make special dishes not on the menu. Best option for Chinese in the area!

By far the best Chinese food around! Everything was high quality and very fresh. Thank you!!

Ask for the authentic vegan meal ahead of time and Christine will make you a multiple course, amazing, tasty, and often seasonal meal. I have eaten at hundreds of vegan restaurants and few often the delicious selection of well-prepared and flavorful magic that Christine whips up.

Large portions, typical Chinese food offerings near campus. Great for college students on a budget.

Our waitress was nice but the food was a little bit worse than I was expecting/hoping for.

The food is always very fresh and delicious. It's different than anything else you can get around here which I really appreciate.

Maybe the Best Chinese food in Maine. I always try to stop here when I travel from Southern Maine to Aroostook. If visiting your UMaine student give this place a try!
Great food- we let the owner (who was very friendly and just interactive enough) decide for us and we were really pleased. We had several vegetarian dishes and one seafood. Everything was very good. Atmosphere is not great, but who cares with food like this! We’ll definitely be back.

This place confused me. First the good: The food wasn't greasy. The place was cheerful and clean. But here we go: We had C12 and C13 with crab rangoons, egg roll, wonton soup and teriyaki beef. The General Tso wasn't the average, it was more like a spicy Sweet and Sour Chicken. Very good for what it was, the Sweet and Sour Chicken was also good. The absolute worst appetizers I have ever had. And the Pork Fried Rice was so bland!!! The Teriyaki Beef hadn't marinated long enough and was too thick so it was boring and chewy...very chewy! I wanted to fall in love with this place, but I just can't.

On 8/18/2024, I'm going to say that I got ripped off from the China Garden restaurant in Orono, ME. I paid $69.07 for my meal, and I only got part of it. My order consisted of: Combination plates #12, #14, chicken egg foo yung, fried rice, 1 pint of duck sauce and a 1/2 pint of sweet and sour sauce. I received 6 tiny containers of it, instead of a pint, which I ordered and paid for ($5). I also paid $2 for 1/2 pint of sweet and sour sauce, and only received a few tiny containers. I ordered 6 extra egg rolls and only received 3. My egg foo yung was burnt, and placed (I should say crammed or squished) into a little container with the sauce in the side. The sauce was super runny, like water, instead of being thick, like gravy. This order was definitely NOT worth $69.07. I am forced to give this place a 1 star review.

Our first time here and we were very pleased. The best egg rolls in the area. So good we ordered three to take home. My wife loved her lo mein and my Mongolian Scallops were superb. The homemade special hot sauce was very tasty .
