China Garden — Restaurant in North Carolina

Whatever you do..don't eat at this restaurant..Let's go step by step..We arrived on a Saturday in February and ordered soup and Home style tofu. We decided to sit and eat at the restaurant . We were not given any water nor asked if we wanted any. The food came on "paper plates" and plastic forks. The food was greasy not tasty at all. THEN,...I discovered hair in the food. I showed it to one of the female employees who seem to be in charge and she actually said that it was "Chinese seasoning" and not hair...I am not making this up. I was also told that the tofu which had the hair attached to it , was brought from another company. A male employee even showed me a package of tofu that they purchase. I told them that has nothing to do with the hair in the food and I have been eating tofu for over 40 years and never saw that type of seasoning. I was then told that I ate more then half of the food and I could get a 10% discount or they could give me another order. I told them that I wanted a full refund because of the hair in the food. After some angry looks and grumbling I was given a refund for the Home Style Tofu but not the soup. I have encountered hair in my food before and this is the first time someone actually tried to insult my intelligence and common sense by telling me it was some type of seasoning. Therefore if you are in the area my advice is to eat...

We were on the way to the Italian place next door when we randomly decided to switch gears and eat Chinese. Bad move. There was only one other patron when we got there and the lady took our order promptly and as we sat down I saw the sanitation grade which was 95. Not bad for a small shopping center style place I suppose. The food took longer than expected, considering we were the only ones waiting for food. In that time we realized how hot it was in the place and she didn't bring us our drinks. After bringing our food we were asked to choose between a plastic spoon and a plastic fork and she sat down some napkins in what appeared to be a used tissue box. She then disappeared to get our drinks. There was one other patron in there and she never checked on him or us while we ate. We stood at the counter after finishing our mediocre meal waiting for a refill but never saw anyone to ask. We left thirsty, hot and disappointed. The fried rice was bland, the General Tso's was tough and not very flavorful. Honestly the dumplings were okay and the egg roll was decent. All in all the best part of this experience was getting back on the road for home. Had we read any reviews we would have known better. Maybe the owners will read some reviews and address these issues so as to offer a better product...

Read where someone else said the woman there was RUDE and I totally agree. I got some take out for my family tonight and after starting to eat I noticed that the chicken (sweet and sour chicken) tasted strange then after I was thinking that my daughter asked if anyone thinks the chicken had a funny taste to it which I replied yes I did and my boyfriend said he did too. We all stopped eating it and about an hour or so later we me and my daughter both started feeling sick to our stomachs. I called to just let them know and the woman pretty much went off on me and more or less called me a liar. This really made me mad because this is not how you treat customers. But that's okay because they just lost a customer and I will make sure to NEVER recommend this place to all my friends and tell them how they have RUDE people working there or probably owns it and has food that makes...
