China Garden — Restaurant in North Liberty

The inside of this place was a little underwhelming, a little dark and nothing going on, but I was also here at like 3 in the afternoon when they aren't busy. The guy working was nice, and answered a few questions. It appeared to be clean and the food was pretty good. I got the sesame tofu, and my friend got garlic broccoli with tofu - both were lunch specials that came with rice (I think like 6 or 7 bucks each plate). The sesame tofu was awesome, cooked really well and it was really flavorful. The garlic broccoli was really good too, and both portions were pretty good sized, especially for a lunch special! I didn't love that water was served in a plastic bottle, and it looked like all the soda was in cans. This isn't a big deal by any means, but I definitely prefer glassware to plastic/cans when I'm eating in a restaurant. Tasty food, I'd...

Ordered online and was told I could not have it delivered based on my location. So I drove 25 miles to pick it up. Ordered egg rolls- got vegetable egg rolls.

So not only do they upcharge the online items, you also get a 25% fee for using online. Never again will I go...

Food is always great & well priced with very generous portions. I just wish they’d do a little more with their restaurant area. It always looks like they’re either just moving in or they’re about to move out. Place is always empty but they’re busy & there’s always just 1 person working & they’re running around crazy! Most of the time everyone working there is on their phone pre-occupied & I feel like I’m inconveniencing them! They have 4 or 5 big flatscreen TVs but they’re never on (maybe not even plugged in). I feel they could really be successful in this town if they made the effort. They check all the boxes when it comes to food, location & setup, they just...
