Jardines de Confucio — Restaurant in Doral

They finally opened the Dine-In; so happy about this!

I’ve been coming with my family to eat for the past 10+ years and wow never disappoints! Wish they had wine but it is what it is. Cork fee is $20 if you like to bring your bottle from home; we always do!

For appetizers:

• Spring Rolls were extra crunchy and their homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce makes it so amazing! • Crab Rangoon are definitely a must try! Crispy on every single bite; be careful because they’re extremely hot 🥵 • BBQ Spare Ribs with sauce on the side! • Deep Fried Shrimp with their homemade Tartar Sauce; I always ask for Lime to mix it with the sauce (you’re welcome) • Deep Fried Chicken Wings were out of this world! I always ask for Drum Stick only. • Tequeños are very yummy. If you’re Colombian is hard to find that “Dedito de Queso” with a Salty Cheese; well Confucio is doing it right!

For entrée:

• Special Fried Rice is always our go to go! So many proteins in one rice. No Bean Sprouts on the rice for me please; everything else is just perfect. Other rices I go to is Pork Fried Rice & Arroz Valenciana (Fried Chicken on top WOW) • Szechuan Beef is amazing! Make sure to try it while you dine in because when you take it home it’s not the same consistency. • Seafood Creole with extra Cilantro and Lime is always my go to & White Rice. Brings back so many memories from the beaches in Cartagena Colombia (if you know, you know) • Chow Mein Special again make sure to try it when dining in because for take out it looses their consistency. • Sweet & Sour Chicken make sure they slightly bread it. You’ll thank me later! The pineapple on that sauce is 🔥 • Beef with Broccoli when I’m on that healthy mode they also make it in Garlic Sauce so it’s extra healthy. They will pretty much make anything as long as you make the observation. Sometimes I ask for this in Mongolian Sauce.

For beer lovers; they’re only $4.50 !

They also have an excellent Lunch Special. They’re individual portions for just $12 plus tax. It brings the Oriental Fried Rice (Chicken Pork Ham Shrimp), 1 Egg Roll & whatever side they have in the list. SOOO CHEAP! Plenty of food!

Parking is a little hard to find at times it’s a first come first serve basis. But a little Vitamin D doesn’t hurt anyone unless it’s raining 😝

They’re on UberEats now so that’s perfect for those lazy days!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Ps. If you’re Colombian and haven’t tried this place out; you’re missing out big time! Costeños hacen el arroz súper delicioso! Also they don’t serve wine but corkage fee is just...

I would give it a 5-star rating because for more than 2 decades, my family and I have been going to this place and we really liked it very much. It was never the cheapest Chinese place around, but the portions and taste of the food more than compensated for the price they charged. But today I was so dissapointed when I called to order food for pickup, ordered a honey chicken (that only comes the chicken & sauce and white rice) plus an order of shrimp fried rice, and some egg rolls, and when they told me the bill was $49.75, I cancelled the order immediately. What's going on? Prices went from $13.50 on the shrimp fried rice to $18.50, and apparently, the honey chicken went from $11.95 to $20. And I don't even want to ask how much were the egg rolls. I know prices and expenses have gone up in many places, but this is abusive and has been the deal breaker with us. Honestly, we like this food very much, and this was our go-to chinese place at least 2-3 times a month for over 20 years. Unless prices come down again, we won't come...

The food here feels very homemade but the presentation of the food is lacking. I would recommend more Chinese looking dishes and silverware. The service was decent and the people were friendly, but having to go up front to order and pay directly was giving more fast food than restaurant. The atmosphere was lacking, the place didn’t have harmony and the color palette was lacking as well. The different colors of wood for the chairs, boards, and front counter are not a nice look. With the sage green colors and light green I would recommend change all the woods and tables to the same color as the front counter or have it white to be more modern than Denny looking. A special thing is to care about the essence of the restaurant, maybe placing eucalyptus oil in the front to make your place feel refreshing and inviting. This place needs some love and I feel like in the future this restaurant can...
