About China Garden Restaurant

Welcome to China Garden Restaurant, a Chinese Restaurant located at 1013 S College Ave in Newark, Delaware. We offer a variety of Chinese dishes for the local community and visitors.

Customer experiences at China Garden Restaurant appear to be quite different. One recent visitor from North Carolina, who was in Delaware for a family reunion, had a very positive experience. They specifically praised the freshness of the food, highlighting the deliciousness of the fried pork wontons and sesame chicken. They also commended the lady at the front for being very catering and super friendly, strongly recommending the restaurant to anyone in the area.

However, another customer who ordered chicken fried rice on January 3, 2025, reported a severely negative experience. They described the dish as "Mystery Meat Fried Mush," noting that the rice was tasteless and the meat was concerning. This reviewer expressed extreme dissatisfaction, stating they would never order from China Garden Restaurant again and questioned the source of any positive ratings.

Given these contrasting reviews, it is important for potential customers to consider both the positive feedback regarding fresh food and friendly service and the serious concerns raised about the quality of at least one dish. For inquiries or to place an order, you can contact China Garden Restaurant at (302) 737-9986 or +1 302-737-9986.

We’re on vacation here in Delaware for our Family Reunion from NC, was craving some Chinese food and thought to give this place a try and man I couldn’t have picked a better place, food is soooo fresh, the fried pork wontons, sesame chicken woo *chefs kiss*; my wife said the lady up front was very catering and super friendly! If you’re ever in this area I strongly recommend if we’re ever vacationing here definitely check this spot out!

I would give no stars if possible. Yesterday 1/3/25, I ordered chicken fried rice and I got Mystery Meat Fried Mush! I tried the rice and it was tasteless mush. It concerning to know this so called meat is being served to the public. Where did 4 starts come from??? I posted two pics one of China Garden’s Mystery Meat Fried Mush and my replacement order from Kampo Garden in Wilmington. You can see clearly that China Garden’s dish is NOT chicken! WILL NEVER ORDER HERE AGAIN..EVER!!!

We had ordered the meal special, bone in ribs and pork lo mein. The ribs were out of this world. Fried rice was absolutely delicious and the lo mein was stellar. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for really solid Chinese food.

W elite the food here and the service is better than most similar places. They always ask of you want sauce or plasticwear. Lobby is not heated or furnished so make sure you get it to go!

Been ordering takeout for a while, stopped in for a pickup order probably the first time ever. Store was eerily lit, and smelled of mouse urine. Suggested wait time of 10 minutes stretched into at least 25 for General Tso combo... Food is good, but it was better not knowing where it comes from.
