I took one taste and threw everything in the garbage. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Chicken was absolutely inedible and stringy.
Pork dish was devoid of pork.
I don’t know how they stay in business.

Taiwan Garden was recommended to me as a good place to get hot and sour soup, and I was not disappointed. It has a great balance of broth, vinegar, and heat. I also like the consistency of the broth - not too thick with corn starch as some are. I had kung pao chicken which was well seasoned and had more vegetables than most. It was a little salty but that was not so noticeable when eaten with the rice, which had perfect consistency. As I understand, they only do pickup and delivery now, which is fine with me. I will certainly try them again.

I will never order here again. This sesame chicken is so tough and the rice is entirely too soft and it's all stuck together, I can't even mix it up. I requested extra sauce but they only gave me one of each sauce for my ENTIRE MEAL... definitely not enough. I'm so disappointed because I am starving and in my lunch break.

Some of the worst food I've ever had, for 5 people and everyone agreed the food was awful, fried rice was like corn meal, orange chicken was so over cooked I couldn't tell the difference between breading and meat, lo mein was awful and flavorless, sweet and sour chicken was mostly dough.

Lovely service! Our order came quickly, and the person helping us was really kind. We got the chicken lo mein, kung po tofu, and pork egg rolls. It was great!

Our adult son ordered online for pickup. Other son picked up and waited nearly 45 minutes for the order! The man apologized for the wait but still… We live 10 minutes from the restaurant. Food was the worst Asian food we have ever had. The sesame chicken and General Tso’s chicken were so tough and chewy we wondered what it was or how it was cooked—- not edible. The chicken with broccoli was a bit better. The Vegetable Lo Mein was ok. Such a disappointment and cost $70. We will never return and I’d advise others to avoid if you want edible food.

If I could give zero stars I would. The kung pao chicken was absolutely disgusting and inedible, deep fried, greasy and insanely salty. The lo mein noodles tasted/looked like spaghetti noodles and were also somehow just absolutely greasy. Will never order from here again, save your money and just cook at home or something. This place sucks.

Great food, and wonderful and personal service! The owners are very friendly, and learn to know their regular customers, sometimes giving out free snacks.

We have been going to Taiwan Garden for over 20 years (possibly 30?). We love the delicious menu, generous servings, reasonable prices, and the very friendly service. Our adult children have all moved on now, living in Maine, Brooklyn, and Florida. They are well traveled, well experienced in restaurant dining, and they and their parents all agree: Taiwan Garden is THE standard against which they measure all other Chinese restaurants.

We went there and there was no dine in. I got fried rice, that was good. I would go there again.
