One customer raved about the portions, stating, "Don't know how they do it , but the portions are HUGE." They specifically mentioned the "szechuwan chicken" as being "like 1 pound of white meat.tenders in delicious sauce." This reviewer found it to be of "Great value" and "Great food," even mentioning that they "Drove from Roswell just to get them."

Conversely, another customer who ate there with a friend reported a negative experience. While they found the server "very nice and helpful," they noted that "the soup was cold for the place just being open for the day." They described the "sesame chicken" as unlike any they'd had before and "not in a good way," noting "a very weird syrup over the chicken" and that while the chicken was hot, "it seemed old." They also felt the "rice almost seemed leftover as did the chicken." Alarmingly, "Not even 10 minutes after eating I felt so sick and needed to get fresh air and threw up everywhere outside," leading them to feel "absolutely awful." They speculated if it was "from the poor preparation or MSG" and concluded, "I will not be back."

Based on these reviews, Oriental Garden 2 in Gainesville, GA, is known for its exceptionally large portions, with the szechuwan chicken being a standout in terms of quantity and taste for one reviewer.

I ate here with a friend, server was very nice and helpful when we ordered. However, the soup was cold for the place just being open for the day, I would’ve thought otherwise. The sesame chicken itself wasn’t like any sesame chicken i’ve had before and not in a good way. There was a very weird syrup over the chicken and while the chicken was hot it seemed old. The rice almost seemed leftover as did the chicken. Not even 10 minutes after eating I felt so sick and needed to get fresh air and threw up everywhere outside. I feel absolutely awful. I’m not sure if it from the poor preparation or MSG.. I will not be back.

This is a delivery order. I am giving my opinion as I have a refined palate and have lived and worked in downtown Atlanta/Midtown for many years. This food is not quite up to par. The Wonton Soup and Hot & Sour have bland broth (and are filled with tasteless amounts of noodles to fill up the container). The vegetable fried rice is fresh; however, it lacks flavor. Please consider adding some fresh ginger, garlic and other fresh spices to get it up to par. The spring rolls have no filling, just greasy wrapper. Steamed Pork dumplings lacking pork. We, as high paying patrons, would really appreciate a fantastic, authentic, memorable, CHINESE restaurant. Gainesville, GA.

If I could give it zero stars I would. We eat here yearly around the holidays for the last 10 years. This year the food was tasted frozen and freezer burned. We both ordered chicken dishes and each ate one piece and had to stop because it was so gross. The establishment made us pay for the entire meal even though we ate NOTHING. We told them the food was awful and couldn’t eat it. The chicken tasted like it had been fried and then frozen and reheated in a microwave. I miss the old owners.
