While China Garden has served customers for an extended period, some recent reviews indicate areas for potential improvement. One long-term customer, after a year's break, reported no positive changes in service, describing an unengaged order-taking process and a failure to fulfill a request for spicy food. This customer also expressed disappointment with the flavor profile of the dishes, finding them bland and lacking expected Chinese seasonings, ultimately stating they would not return.
Another customer shared concerns about the food quality and portion sizes. They noted receiving an unusually small portion of wings and described the French fries as old and oily. This reviewer, with experience in food service, suggested a lack of effort in the product preparation.
Regarding service, this customer also reported feeling rushed during a late-night phone order and pickup, with discrepancies between the stated closing time online and the owner's insistence on an earlier closing. Additionally, they mentioned the lack of complimentary items typically offered by other establishments for similar order values.
The atmosphere of the dine-in space is described as "pretty small" but clean, although this observation was made near closing time. Overall, recent customer experiences suggest considering these factors when choosing China Garden for your Chinese meal delivery needs in Livingston.

Customer Reviews
We have been coming here on and off for 20 years. We stopped coming because of the service but decided after a year to try again.......big mistake,nothing changed. The woman who took the order never said hello,was on her cell phone while taking our order,never said thankyou. I loudly said "THANKYOU" and she did not even get the hint I was being sarcastic. Asked for our food to be spicy, they forgot. The cook was yelling at 2 different employees,it was so embarrassing. Their menu states "We have recruited our cooks from many parts of China to prepare unique flavors of Chinese and gourmet dishes using selected ingredients and oriental seasoning". Zero ginger,garlic,5 spice,sesame etc detected in this boring food. I make better. Will NOT be going back.
Food: I literally got 3.5 wings in my order instead of 4 😂 My wife’s French Fries were old and filled with oil, CLEARLY not fresh. As someone who works in food service as a cook, I can tell they don’t put much effort into their product. Service: Google says they close at 11pm, I called around 10:05-10:10pm and was rushed off the phone before I could get a price and/or confirmed they got my full order. Got there around 10:40pm and the owner was rushing me to pay, stating that they close at 10:30pm. I paid over $25 for my full order (4 wings w/ shrimp-fried rice & 4 wings w/french fries) and most places in my neighborhood offer AT LEAST a canned soda with purchase of $20-25, this place offers nothing. Atmosphere: pretty small eating space, luckily I got my food to go. It was clean, but then again, they were closing so I’d expect the area to be clean at that time. Overall, pretty meh experience 😕
Staff are very quick and very nice. I usually get the lunch specials (nice portions), and sometimes dinners. Takeout, no dining in. I've found the food very fresh, tasty and plentiful. Never a problem customizing order and reasoning priced, for now.
Waste of money, ordered over phone she didn’t let me finish before saying ok bye. Then I get there and I’m disappointed, my chicken wings might as well been alive with all the feathers I got. The fried rice was horrible, hot sauce gave it a little boost however. Homemade tea was flavored water. Firs and last time getting food from here!
The best Chinese Take Out around!!! Great food, Great prices, Friendly service! Thank you for being consistently delicious!!! So lucky to have you in our neighborhood!
