China Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Bismarck

Let me tell you about China Garden. When I ate there, I paid like 10 bucks for a heaping mound of amazingness.

As I stared at this mountain of food challenging the seams of my jeans, I took a bite and almost flagged the waitress down. Surely they know that there have never been any Monarchy rulers in America, because food of this caliber should only be served to kings.

After being assured that I indeed am allowed to dine on this cuisine, I happy feasted upon the glorious mountain. Each bite took me to a different place, and I started becoming entwined with the chinese culture, Mao Zedong himself smiled at my eternal happiness brought upon by this plate. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, but I had done it. I had conquered the plate made from the enternal garden of china.

When the waitress came by, my head started feeling funny. I got up, bowed, and out of no where replied " 谢谢你，请检查 " I couldn't believe it. After one plate, I had learned fluent mandarin. The women smiled, implying she knew exactly the path I had walked on during my enlightening meal. Luckily, my dollars didn't convert into yen, and I was able to pay for my meal with American money, and include a hefty tip, which is appreciated in American culture, but as I found out, not in the homeland of China.

I thanked the staff as a Golden Dragon sweeped out of the sky and flew me to my bed where I could sleep and dream of eating something as heavenly as that meal once again.

10/10 would turn...

So I order for a fairly large group to be picked up. When I get there the little snot behind the counter informs me that I needed a mask. I then inform her that I do not have one and am not staying just grabbing a to go order. She then tells me I still need a mask. I again I tell her I don't have one and can she just bring it out side the door in the mall. She said no and tells me that we are in the middle of a pandemic and the gas station has them for sale. I'm normally a pretty calm guy but now she is starting to get under my skin. So I go to my truck to get a mask at the gas station but decided to make a last ditch effort to get my food by calling the store to see if they can bring it out curbside. She then tells me that they do not do curbside. I went and bought a mask and went in to get my sub par food. If you need a mask you can feel free to use the one I left on snot faces counter. Never ever will I set foot in that miserable place again or will our company oder so much as a tooth...

Ordered more than $100.00 of food. Received a call saying that I had to pay 15% gratuity. Then picked up my order, drove home and was missing an order of sweet and sour chicken. Called. Was told “I’m sorry. I can write you down for one for the next time you order. “ I told them no, that I needed it tonight for my guest who ordered it. I was told there is nothing we can do. We cannot refund you the 18.00 gratuity for forgetting my food that I now have to come pick up and they could not give it to me for free if I was coming to get it. Hmmm… I feel that is pretty terrible customer service. Yes, I should have checked the bags before I left. But… there is a ticket and you should put everything in the bag. I am really disappointed in the guy on the phone- there is...
