China Garden — Restaurant in Hueytown

When this restaurant was named China Sea, it was a great place to get Chinese food in the Hueytown area. I called an order in last night for Mo Goo Gai Pan about 45 minutes before they closed . The food was horrible. The sauce was more like just plain tap water with very little flavor, very little chicken, tons of undercooked carrots, mushrooms, baby corns & bamboo shoots, the rice was not completely tender. It was probably the one and only time that I have gotten takeout from that location and not enjoyed it. When I arrived to get my order the man behind the counter told me the price was $18 & some change. For 1 order of Moo Goo Gai Pan & 2 egg rolls. (The egg rolls were good but much smaller than they have been in the past) I'm not one to normally complain about price increases because I completely understand that a business has to make a profit & most small business owners have been struggling to stay open these last couple years & have had no other choice than to increase prices, so yeah I get it, but the food that I got last night wasn't worth $5.00 much less $20.00. Also when I handed the man behind the counter the cash to pay for my food he simply says to me thank you, puts the money in the drawer but never even offered to give me any change back. Granted I had every intention to tell them to keep the change when I walked in to pay but to not even offer to give a customer their change back is considerably rude behavior. Lucky Panda will be my choice for Chinese food in the future. There's entirely too many other options to consider to just settle...

They were very nice, and the food was ready quickly. I hoped to be able to leave a great review, but our food was so bland it made me wonder if I had lost my taste/smell. The hot and sour soup was neither spicy or sour, and had lots of vegetables in it which was a surprise. Sesame chicken was soggy and strangely bitter. The kung pao chicken had so many nuts on top it was comical, and it wasn't spicy at all. The fried rice was greasy. The egg rolls were pretty good, but were not included with the entree. The sweet & sour chicken was ok. There isn't a kids menu, so be prepared for that. Our order for 5 people was around $65, so it's definitely not cheap. I did like the containers. They're those cute takeout boxes, and microwavable plastic containers. Unfortunately we won't be trying China Garden again until the...

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Every single thing we ordered was bland and nasty. Egg roll looked like they fried it over and over again. The egg drop soup had zero flavor, it is meant to have soy sauce and sesame oil in it atleast. The crunchy fried things were actual crackers and were so hard they didnt even soften in the soup. Also there was a piece of egg white with a black dot on it that looks like permanent marker. The fried dumplings were overcooked and flavorless. The fried rice is not chinese fried rice. Im not even asian and i know fried rice has a bunch of sauces in it to make it a light brown color. Vegetables in the rice were burnt. Even the fortune cookies looked old and stale. Would never recommend even to my...
