China Garden

I have been coming with my family to this place for almost ten years now. The day they finished renovations after the fire was one of the best days ever haha. The food and the service is consistently spectacular. Their chicken fried rice as well as the shrimp fried rice is my favorite of all time, the szechuan chicken is also delicious, and everything else I have tried from their menu is great. If you order takeout, they still give you the wonton strips and cucumber salad and orange slices which is such a nice touch, and much appreciated! I love this place and will continue coming for many years. Also, don’t be afraid to dine-in! It’s a great atmosphere for friends.

Really disappointed after trying for the first time after they have reopened. Was excited to try, I remember how great china garden used to taste and was expecting a great meal. Unfortunately, it is nothing like I remember. Firstly, it is nice they offer local delivery - you don’t have to pay uber eats fee etc. They were quick, delivered within 40 minutes. But that is where the positives end. The food was extremely lackluster and bland. Ordered crispy beef, general tso chicken, and beef sticks. Crispy beef were tiny pieces of beef, the fry was so light it went mushy and it seemed like there almost were more carrots than beef. Sauce almost had no flavor other than cornstarch. General Tso chicken was extremely bland, again almost no taste. You don’t know if you’re even eating chicken. The beef sticks were completely overcooked and just smothered in a salty sauce. It literally was like eating beef jerky. The sauce is just poured on the top, so heavy, not tossed around. One of the sticks was missing half its meat… The pickles even aren’t like they were before. It’s lacking flavor, like they are using less chili or something. Portions are large but when you take into account you don’t want to eat it… it’s not worth it. We ended up throwing away more than half of it- it wasn’t worth it to eat such cheap quality. Would not try again.

October 11, 2024 . . . China Garden is well known in the Frederick area, since 1984 . . . Really good Chinese food 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The community rallied around the Chaing family ( owners ) when FIRE 🔥 torched their restaurant in 2019. Community Fundraising donated money toward the repairs, and China Garden re-opened in 2022. It’s been over 15 years since our last visit, while returning from our cross country bus trip, we decided to stop in for dinner ! WOW the renovations are great! 😃👍🏼 Jessica our server “ caught us up to speed” on the restoration after the fire. China Garden tends to cook up a mix of Szechuan, Hunan, and some Cantonese styles ( regional cuisines) of Chinese food. You can turn up or down the 🌶️🌶️🌶️ heat ! My wife loved her Sesame Chicken, very mild on spices, fresh & juicy . . . Perfect ! 😃👍🏼 My Grandson ordered the Beef Stick appetizer, in a mild bbq & Soy sauce combo. His entree Cashew Chicken was mild and delicious! 😃👍🏼 I ordered crispy egg rolls & hot & sour soup as my appetizer. . . . which was good. Then I ordered Combo Orange Shrimp & Orange Chicken with spicy sauce ! Rather mild, so I asked for a little bowl of extra Szechuan 🌶️ sauce to add ! Yum 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Being across from Frederick High School, good place for the teens to work part time jobs, or hang with friends for appetizers! There used to be a bowling alley nearby, but I hear that’s out of business. Times are changing. This is a good Chinese restaurant!

Food delicious! Service itself was good, just a lot a of waiting time. Waiting to order, waiting for the check.

I walked into and was greeted by the owner. Super friendly and handed me a cold bottle of water. I ordered shrimp fried rice, which was a bit bland only because they did not make it without onions. Not an issue. The next time, I will ask them to add some. The portion was huge! The prices are a bit more than most places, but you get ur monies worth. The atmosphere is lovely and clean! Check out my picture. The bowl was big and not just the average 10 shrimp per quart. They stuffed this bowl with shrimp 🍤 galore! Can't wait to visit again. 🥰
