Great Chinese food they’ve got here! For the food,the rice is OK, but others are very good. The BBQ Honey Pork is marinated very well, with lots of honey flavour, but still has the Pork flavour. The Deep Fried Pork Rib with Sweet and Sour Sauce is very good, the sauce is not too sour, not too sweet, the Pork is OK, the vegetables are great, although most other restaurants have pineapples mixed with the Pork, but this has not. The Stir-fried Beef Pieces with Leek and Garlic is very great also, the sauce is not too salty (but not too un-salty) and has lots of Garlic, Leek and Beef flavours.

Overall, I think this is a good restaurant. Out of 100%: Interior 30%, Food 60%,...

On 20 Oct, 2022, I came here again with other Council Members for a working luncheon with the President of HKUST and her colleagues.
We got a cosy room good for three tables of guests. Apart from the excellent food and service, we shared our HKUST 3.0 vision.
Right now, only the privileged HKUST students, staff and their guests could frequent this restaurant. But it will reopen to the...
Read moreChina Gardens is a good Chinese cuisine restaurant. The environment of the restaurant is excellent, it's not too packed. Staff attitude is substantial with most staff having an enthusiastic attitude and are very willing to help. There is a large range of food choices that are suitable for a variety of age groups. The food is high quality and is tasty. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant and I whole-heartedly recommend everyone to try this HKUST restaurant. It's not just a canteen, it's actually a cheap version of Jade Gardens but the quality is similar or...
