Zhu Garden — Restaurant in Farragut

I came into town for a work related trip, and this restaurant had been recommended as a local spot to try. I ordered the dinner combo for the chicken with broccoli, fried rice, and an egg roll. I also added sweet and sour sauce because I love to eat that with my egg rolls.

I have never had a clear sauce with my chicken with broccoli. It threw me for a loop, but I tried it. I was not a fan. The chicken, broccoli, and carrots were all very plain. The chicken tasted similar to chicken that literally has zero seasoning on it. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to this meal. However, I thought the vegetables were cooked well. There wasn't much flavor, but it was not too hard nor too mushy.

The fried rice was not what I was expecting. It was just brown looking rice. There was no egg, peas, carrots, or a single vegetable in the rice. It was just rice that was brown.

The egg roll was overcooked to where you could taste that it was actually burnt on one side. Besides being burnt, the egg roll was really good, especially with the sweet and sour sauce. If it was not burnt, it would have been absolutely incredible.

The location is in a pretty decent area as far as I could tell as someone who does not live in town. The ordering process in the store was simple, and the wait time was reasonable.

I am giving this a two star rating because the food was incredibly poor. I was raised in the family that does not ever waste food because food costs money, and therefore, if you waste food, you are throwing away money. I actually threw away about half of this food because even drenching it in the sweet and sour sauce was not enough to fix the...

This place is definitely the worst Chinese (Asian) restaurant I’ve ever ordered takeout from. Shrimp fried rice literally we’re shrimps that looked and tasted from a can) #notrealshrip. Order regular fried rice definitely #notfriedrice) both servings of rice were steam and was still hand (not fully cooked) and they basically just loaded it with soy sauce. Disgusting. Ordered sweet-and-sour chicken literally if there was chicken the battered took over they were so hard (over fried) it was a very unpleasant to chew. Vegetable lo mein had no flavor whatsoever!!! And finally the ginger chicken beside the lite favor / smell of the ginger this entrée was also extremely disappointing it had no flavor! You would think crab Rangoon‘s would not be some thing that could be butchered unfortunately this too was quite disappointing they added too much sugar on the cream cheese that overpowered it and it just was not a good texture and taste. So we spent $70- on these entrees and definitely was NOT Worth the so called $ price this restaurant is definitely over charging for this horrible food! Needless to say we threw 80% of the...

Changing my review. I'll leave the old one attached. I guess there must have been someone different in the kitchen the last 2 times we ordered. My neighbor had the same experience, so, here we go. The sesame chicken was horrible. The meat was tough and weirdly stringy, while the coating was undercooked and floury tasting. The rangoon was inedible as it was filled with an unidentifiable flavorless thick liquid. If this had happened once, I would not change my review. But, it seems the day we had the awesome food was a fluke. We will not be back, which makes me sad, because they are really awesome, friendly people and I love supporting small businesses instead of a chain.

This is now our Go To restaurant for Egg Drop Soup, Sesame Chicken, and Spring Rolls. The pricing is amazingly affordable. The food is totally delicious🤤 And, the staff is beyond attentive & friendly. Highly recommended. We can't wait to try all their menu has to offer. We plan on eating our way through it😁 As a bonus, we live so close that for the first time in my 50+ years of eating Chinese takeout, we had to wait for the food to cool before...
