9 Best Chinese Restaurants in Franklin

“Excellent food, friendly family business. Highly recommend! Best Chinese Food in the area!“

“Have never been disappointed. Portions and food have always been excellent. Walk-in service is fast. Highly recommended.“

“Food is consistent and has lots of flavor. Always fresh and made efficiently. It’s a standard Chinese spot with limited seating and decorations but the food is delicious.

I have taken the food to multiple events and people unfamiliar with it love it. I hope they continue to have good quality and home style cooking.“

“We were frequent visitors to this restaurant for a few decades, and for some reason stopped coming.\n\nIt is solely a take-out Chinese, because there is only one table with four chairs inside. People mostly order online or by phone and then pick up the food.\n\nOn a whim, we decided to order from here after a few years. I am extremely glad that they have maintained their quality and standards. What we got was delicious – Chicken Fried Wings, Black Pepper Chicken, Vegetable Fried Rice, Curry Chicken and Sichuan Dumplings. The food smelled heavenly in my car and tasted just as good when I served it.\n\nWith the quality of Chinese food going down the hill where we live, we will be regulars here again.“

“I Would Fight a Bear for This Chinese Food

Alright, folks, gather ‘round. I have a story to tell. I recently moved back to Jersey from Florida, and if you’ve ever lived in Florida, you know two things: 1) Alligators will steal your golf balls, and 2) They have no idea how to make good Chinese food. Seriously, I don’t know what’s going on down there, but I’ve had dumplings in Florida that tasted like they had an identity crisis halfway through cooking.

But then, this place happened.

I ordered (purely in the name of science, of course), and I swear on my fortune cookie—I have seen the light.

Let’s break it down:

Pork Fried Rice – Perfectly seasoned, fluffy, with that little hint of wok magic that tells me someone back there knows what they’re doing. This isn’t just rice; this is a lifestyle choice.

10-Piece Crabmeat Rangoons – I took a bite and immediately questioned every life decision that led me to eat subpar rangoons in the past. Crispy? Check. Creamy? Check. So addictive I’d trade my Netflix password for another order? Check.

Chicken and Broccoli – I think it hugged me from the inside. The chicken was tender, the sauce was divine, and the broccoli wasn’t that sad, overcooked mess some places give you. No, this was vibrant, fresh, and ready to be devoured.

Now, here’s the thing—I don’t just like this place. I am now in a full-blown, committed relationship with this restaurant. I will be talking about it at parties. I will be bringing out-of-town guests here like I personally own stock in it. And I will not rest until I have left a five-star review on every single platform known to mankind. Google? Done. Yelp? Already there. Carrier pigeon message straight to their kitchen? Give me time.

In fact, I’m already researching pigeon care because if that’s what it takes to support this mission, then so be it. I will foster a pigeon. I will name it Lo Mein and train it to deliver handwritten praise directly to the chefs.

And to anyone who dares say anything bad about this food—I’m convinced you have burned off all your taste buds. The only possible explanation is that you’ve been eating nothing but plain porridge your entire life and now mistake "flavor" for a personal attack. Seek help. Seek seasoning. Seek this restaurant.

Whoever is back there making this food, just know—I appreciate you. I see you. I love you. Expect me back. Probably too often. Possibly enough to be concerning.

10/10. No notes. Perfection achieved.“

“Got take out tonight and I felt I had to edit my post. This is the third or fourth time I got food here and I was very disappointed. The food was awful. Overcooked and rasted like they ran out of seasoning. I thought someone steamed the order.“

“I had the Pork egg foo young, what I usually order when I do!
Sometimes the Pepper Steak. Combos

Excellent what kind of stupid question is it to ask me what made it excellent after I said it was excellent if it was excellent that meant I liked it and it was good because that's what I ordered very often when I do order it Wake up Google.

Excellent a little higher than usual but that's because it was delivery delivery people have to get paid too. Atmosphere in my house is always what it is boring but it's my house so I guess I'm stuck with it The atmosphere at their place is fine for what it is a place to pick up your food.

Excellent. I had it delivered. Handed me my food I handed him money he thanked me I thanked him he left.

Excellent. This list of questions is somewhat annoying. Over the years of buying from them I've always found the food to be fine and never had a problem not fancy but good. What else would I like to share I would like to share this questioning is being very annoying and I'm sick and tired of answering more questions that don't apply to anything in my life other than I'm sitting here answering this stupid thing.“

“My wife and I like the food here at Szechuan Garden - we've been getting take out here and sometimes dining in since 1989 . . Even with the change in ownership from Phillip, the food quality has been consistently good - and not as oily as other local Chinese restaurants. Keep up the good work!

Parking: Excellent parking - a few feet from the restaurant!“
