The food was a little different than what I’m used to getting in Virginia but it was good and I will be back to try something different. I had Drunken Noodles with chicken and my husband had pineapple fried rice. The dumplings were my favorite

Tried the pad thai, fried thai rolls, and 2 different sushi rolls… didn’t really like our sushi rolls, especially the crispy exterior that cut the inside of my mouth. Plus from the description we thought only one roll would be deep fried but both were deep fried. Fried spring rolls were ok. Pad thai was the best dish we tried but not the best ever either. I would like to try some other menu items another time.

We usually use take out, which is very good service most of the time. I used to love the Hunan Shrimp. However, the last few times the salt content was unacceptable. I couldn't eat it. We called the restaurant and the owner or manager checked it and said it was "normal". The second time, it was the same scenario. We tried once more and the same thing happened. This last time I ordered something else which was just "OK". We are looking for a different restaurant since we love Chinese food, but it doesn't help my preference for this food when it is too salty to taste it. I am capable of adding salt to my dinner. I don't want others adding so much it makes the food mediocre at best.

I have been on a quest to find some Chinese food that I like the most aside from the buffet. Lets face it, I have to actually drive there and it is next to a tax place so I am reminded of that extension I filed. Anyhow, the good news is that I found a place that is pretty darn good after trying out three others. I have decided that Delicious Garden II will be my final resting point for delivery. As always, I will start with the “As Delivered” and then get right to my thoughts on each item. The quality of the packaging and delivery did not disappoint. Everything was warm and so tightly secured in the bag, the driver would have to be running laps in Nascar to mess it up. Since I ordered a side of Egg Drop Soup (Egg Rolls were included at one per entrée) I am going to tackle them both simultaneously. The Egg Drop soup (my friends fault as she created the idea in my mind) was excellent and by far the best I have tasted in this area from delivery. It was nice and thick, the flavor was fantastic, and most importantly, it was not overly salty. Just a great body to this soup. The Egg Rolls were spot on and I completely enjoyed them with my Low Sodium Soy. Crisp. Flavorful. Held up to the Soy Sauce and I sure did not look back with each bite. The first dish on deck is the “Kung Pao Dragon and Phoenix.” I was not quite sure what was going to be in it, but it sure was good! Shrimp was one of the additions and it was cooked well and added a very nice twist with the Chicken. This was just “flat out” an excellent dish and I was very happy. The spice level was quite nice and for once, someone got it closer to what I wanted/expected without a request. The meat was tender, juicy, and with everything else this is a winning combo. The second dish was Mongolian Beef, and I am quite picky about this one as it is a favorite of mine. While I love the Chinese Restaurants in California, this is the first time that I got to eat this dish here and it had heat to it! Finally!! I can only imagine if I asked for more and I’m smiling about that option. The meat was of good quality, and I didn’t find myself having to put a piece in the trash due to gristle. This meal was a homerun by this cooking crew, and I look forward to having some of the other items off their menu!! Moving along to the rice…no complaints. The Steamed Rice was perfectly tender and moist when it arrived. The much tricker Fried Rice was also well done and not overly oily like the past few that I have had. This was cooked properly and I appreciated that as an option without an additional charge. Right on! My only complaint is that I would have enjoyed just a bit more than a small piece of egg, but I know you are making things in a large batch so not much fault there. I ate it and enjoyed it! Final Thoughts: This restaurant was the last one on the road when it came to who would be the place I went to for Chinese Delivery. Nothing against the restaurant; they were closed when I wanted to order so that is on me. The reality here is this: Out of four, this is the best one, and I am happy to give them five stars as I not only had a quality meal, but my stomach was not overtaken by oil. These folks do a great job and if you’re looking for something that you are more used to like the small places we get food from in Cali, I would aim your compass in this direction. Well done Delicious Garden II. Well done.

Wonderful fresh veggies, tender meats, homemade egg rolls..... one of the few restaurants we have found that doesn't buy their egg rolls at Costco!! Everything is delicious and well prepared and the value is very good, price is great. Service is fast, there is almost always a table available so you can come in starving and get served right away. Very highly recommend!!!

Dishes we like: lo mein is very good here… sesame chicken and triple delight are good too. Dishes that were ok but not our favorites: cashew chicken prefer the vegetables of triple delight (broccoli, cabbage, water chestnuts) versus cashew chicken (mostly green bell pepper and undercooked carrots). Chicken curry, this curry does not have coconut milk and the rice tasted like basmati, not jasmine rice. So not the style of curry that I prefer. Lunch specials are from 11am - 4pm as of Nov 2024
