China Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Malden

DISAPPOINTING. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR $$. Overpriced and not great quality. I suggest other Chinese places in Malden such as Faloon Restuarant ( better quality/ price and not generic Chinese food and I usually know if a type of cuisine is good if you see people of that ethicity eating there which is the case at Fuloon's which has americanized and Authetic chinese food) But I unfortunately live closer to China Garden now which is why I gave it a try BIG MISTAKE. Ok, first of all they dont offer a menu online for dish and price comparision ( its 2013 for goodsakes) and the bill came to $15 for lunch.( I normally work in Boston near South Station/ Chinatown and with that being said that is alot more than I spend for lunch for just 1 person). So walked in and it's basically a store front and I ordered the Hot and Sour soup since I had a cold, which was pretty good but cost $3.75 for a small- waaay overpriced( it's not Sebastians), and most chinese soups are $2-3 tops for a small. Secondly the fried rice was dry and uninspired and didn't have much flavor to it, no onions or other veggies to mix it up. The General Gao Chicken batter was floury and dry, the sauce was not good at all and the portion was very small, not like the heaps you get from other Chinese restaurants.Very disappointing and won't be a repeat customer and overall I prefer Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, not Chinese...

I tell you what, if a zombie apocalypse ever hits and you can break the windows to get in and cook food with what was left, then definitely go here. Otherwise, don't waste your breath ordering, time waiting, or "cash only" money.

I called and ordered delivery at 7:00. 8:00 roams around and I'm starving. I call to check in and hear, "Yes, it's on it's way. We don't have it in the system because it went out." Oh okay, coolsies. EXCEPT IT WASN'T. It wasn't coming, and by the time he called me at 8:30 to tell me he never placed my order but can send it now, I was hangry AF. But if it's free it's for me, so let's let them deliver. HA...they still wanted me to pay for it! Yeah um, NO.

Moral of the story: Order from Great Chow....
