About Chinese Garden | Restaurant & Lounge

Chinese Garden | Restaurant & Lounge offers a convenient option for tasty Chinese cuisine, with generous portions and reasonably priced dishes. The restaurant provides a friendly service, although the quality of some items like BBQ pork and shrimp can be inconsistent. Despite the slightly sketchy neighborhood, the restaurant offers a comfortable dining experience with spacious booths.

The menu features classic Chinese-American dishes, including delicious fried rice and sweet and sour sauce. The fried rice is flavorful and darker in color, unlike the simple white rice with a few vegetables. The sweet and sour sauce is also praised for its delicious taste, unlike the neon-colored sauces served at some restaurants.

Customers have mixed reviews about the cooking, with some dishes being excellent and others less so. The restaurant has at least two cooks, and customers have noticed differences in the quality of dishes like ribs, chicken, and almond chicken. However, the good cook's specialties, such as the tender and delicious S&S ribs and perfectly sauced S&S chicken, are highly praised.

The restaurant also offers a full bar with liquor and video lottery machines, as well as a large parking lot. It has been owned by the same family for years and is a go-to classic Chinese food destination for many customers.
