Cheng's Chinese Garden

This chinese place absolutely slaps. The waitress was a beast! My mother asked her multiple questions, and our waitress didn't even hesitate with a response. She was "locked in" as they say. I also absolutely loved the chinese wall. It was so cool and colorful. Now I kinda want one! I will definitely return.

Wanted something spicy and this was the only Asian food in a 2 mile radius. We were on a long drive and didn't want to go hunting for another restaurant. So Cheng's Chinese Garden it was. The menu had the usual American Chinese fare (General Tsos, Beef and Broccoli etc.) but there was a section that looked promising - the names of the dishes hinted at the more traditional Chinese dishes. We order egg drop soup and hot and sour soup to start. They didn't disappoint. The main course was a dry beans dish and a pork and cabbage "spicy" dish. The dry beans dish was just outstanding! Such a simple dish. Prepared with some pickles (not the ones you are thinking of) that added a bit of extra taste - made the dish worth recommending. Definitely try it. The pork dish was tasty but more sweet than spicy. Not overly sweet like sweet and sour dishes but unmistakably sweet. We asked for some chillies sauce on the side but that didn't help the dish much. It was not bad by any means. Just not the spicy we were craving. Service was fast and friendly. The soup came out non sooner than we finished ordering. The restaurant is clean and the decoration in unmistakably Chinese. If some one walked you in there with blindfolds on and you would know instantly what to expect when your blindfolds came off :-).

We enjoyed dinner here and the food was excellent, fast service, good value. Enjoyed the pork fried rice, egg rolls were a little different than what I am used to which is why I gave 4 stars vs 5, but overall great experience. Pictures is jumbo shrimp with veggies, crispy orange beef and beef and broccoli were also delicious.

Went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago, we thought the portions were small. The food wasn't super hot, so in 5 minutes, your eating cold food. Waitress never came to ask if we wanted a refill on our sodas. Prices are high for the portion size. The free hot tea was watery, and just warm when we got it. So it got cold in the pot quickly. Went again for the 2nd time today and it was exactly the same. This time even the rice was hard. What's with the last booth on the left filled with their stock/supplies?? That's tacky.

Low Cost Lunch Specials. Had the Spicy Chicken with Garlic Special. The spice was on the light side. The portion was nice though. The egg roll and Wonton soup were very good. I ordered some food to go and later found the Egg Drop soup was missing although paid for. The waitress was not quite into the scene with only brief moments of engagement. Room for improvement but still worth a visit for lunch specials bargains.
