About China Garden

China Garden, located at 1835 Celina Rd, St Marys, OH 45885, stands out as one of the few remaining Chinese restaurants in the area that offers a dine-in option. You can reach them at (419) 394-8270 or their mobile number +1 419-394-8270.

Customers describe China Garden as a rather cute and comfortable place, a departure from modern restaurants with hard surfaces, making it conducive for conversations with family and friends. The presence of nice, cushioned booths adds to the cozy environment.

The food at China Garden receives high praise for its delicious and distinct flavor, reminding one reviewer of a favorite restaurant from their hometown, suggesting a unique taste compared to other local Chinese establishments. The lunch sweet and sour chicken special and fried wontons were specifically mentioned as enjoyable.

A standout feature, repeatedly highlighted by customers, is the superb quality of the egg rolls. These are described as containing fresh vegetables and meat wrapped in a flaky and crunchy exterior, with one reviewer stating they would drive there solely to enjoy them and considering them the best homemade egg rolls within a 30-mile radius.

One minor issue mentioned was with the rice, which was noted as being a bit hard and possibly dried out, likely due to being near the end of the lunch service and sitting in a warmer for too long. However, the reviewer expressed their intention to return and try the rice again.

Overall, China Garden is portrayed as a "best-kept secret" for freshly prepared Asian food, consistently delivering quality. The owners are described as sweet, and the establishment is noted for its cleanliness. Customers highly recommend a visit and suggest asking for Tina, who is described as very sweet.

Firstly, this is one of the few Chinese places left with a dine-in option. It is a rather cute place. Definitely not your modern “all hard surfaces so it’s hard to talk” place. It is a nice place to sit and talk with family and friends. Booths were nice and cushioned. The food was delicious and it reminded me of my favorite place from back home in Kokomo IN. Some Chinese food seems like it’s from the same distributer, but not this place. This food was flavorful and slightly different than any other place in the area. I had the lunch sweet and sour chicken special with an order of fried wontons. The egg rolls in particular were superb. Fresh veggies and meat all wrapped in a flakey and crunchy outside. In my opinion and experience, it is rather hard to find an egg roll with all these qualities. I would drive there just to eat a couple of these bad boys alone. My only complaint was the rice. It was a bit hard and possibly dried out, but then again I was there at the tail end of lunch. It might have been in a warmer a tad too long. I will definitely be coming here again. And when I do, I will be giving the rice a second try.

Best kept secret for Asian freshly prepared food. NEVER disappointed! I don't understand why this place isn't crowded...BEST fresh HOMEMADE egg rolls within 30 mi! Sweet owners with VERY clean establishment. Been around a few years so maybe newness is worn off, but IT'S THE BEST QUALITY around. Ask for Tina. She's so sweet!😁

Wonderful little restaurant owned by a delightful local couple for many years. The food is delicious and abundant, perfect won ton soup, Mongolian beef spiced hot just the way I like it, and a hot, crispy fresh egg roll. If a buffet is your thing, this isn't your place, but if you want authentic Chinese food cooked to order, this is the perfect mom and pop establishment. Easy to get to and quiet with reasonable prices.

Lunch came with all the food temperature hot which felt great since the day was chilly and wet. Service was good and wait staff friendly. I asked for my dish to be medium hot spice-wise and it was perfect. The egg roll was very good.

I golo the Mala spicy chicken this time and really good. I normally get curry because they have the best spicy curry around. Egg drop soup is delicious as well as the egg rolls, spring rolls, and crab Rangoon. They make their own sweet and sour. Ran by very nice older couple
