China Garden — Restaurant in Linden

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Having not been here before (we moved to Gaines from Burton a few years ago) I made sure to order something that I thought would be rather foolproof, almond boneless chicken . I got back home and was sort of turned off by the yellow rice. The chicken appeared plain and mediocre. I opened the gravy and was turned off by the mustard appearance of it. I poured it over the chicken anyhow and proceeded to try eating my meal. The breading on the chicken was so hard that I thought I almost chipped a tooth. The gravy and rice both tasted bland. I could not eat one bite of it. By this point I had pretty much all but lost my appetite but had not tried the wonton soup that I had ordered with my meal. I took the lid off if the container and questioned if it was actually wonton soup or not. The broth appeared to be the color of black coffee. I decided to give it a go anyhow since the rest of my meal was inedible. I was once again immediately turned off by the aweful smell once I got a spoonful near my nose. I scooped one of the noodles out onto a plate and could not tell you for the life of me what brown processed substance was inside of it when I cut it open -gross! I threw the entire meal out and cooked a frozen Kroger brand pizza for dinner instead! I will stick with my tried and true authentic Chinese resturant over in Burton, Canton Chinese restaurant on Fenton road. China Garden should take a few cooking lessons from them. Anyone that says that China Garden is good, I feel bad for because they obviously have no Idea what true high quality Chinese food tastes like. I did give 2 stars since the staff was friendly as other reviews...

So my favorite Chinese place closed I thought they had the best of everything On a whim the other day my mom and I tried here I knew I wouldn't like it because it wouldn't be the same as the place that closed boy was I wrong I walk in the atmosphere is really nothing to write home about But I've heard good and bad about the place so it's worth giving a shot I got the may fung the egg foo young and the chicken broccoli The chicken was good but not the place I wanted (it was really really good when I microwaved it later) Egg foo young could have used some salt what otherwise was really good The May fung however is something to write home about it's something to scream about from the rooftops it is amazing some of the best I've ever had in fact it's been less than a week and I've already eaten there again and it was just as good The shrimp egg rolls were also really good All in all I was happily surprised that Not only was this place decently priced and located close to my business But as good or better in some cases as the place that I miss They have made a lifelong customer

The service was also excellent the staff is very sweet-spirited friendly and...

My girlfriend just picked up an order from them, and had a lovely talk with the owner. We always try to say hello when he's in. Outside of the few reviews attacking his character, which are extremely outlandish, he's a great guy, and an active member of the community. In my honest opinion he overpaid his staff. Their cashiers make roughly $15 an hour, not counting the monthly bonuses...you dont have to offer any employee tips. The food is amazing and extremely affordable. For all of you that believe one negative post without ever meeting him, please walk in and order some food. They wouldn't have almost 5 stars if they were terrible. They actually gave us a really cool calendar for the holiday season. China Garden will always have...
