China Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

We eat here often for the lunch special. The amount of food 4 the price...I always walk out w/ leftovers 4 dinner :) & the special is served everyday they're open! I think we've tried about 80% of the menu & not a single complaint regarding the food. They're always very friendly, nice, & accommodating 2 my special request.

The final straw came when they sat a group right next to me and immediately took their order even though she knew I had been waiting for close to 20mins. Sorry for trying to eat out alone, figured she...

I'm not sure how this place got 4 1/2 stars the food was really dry and seemed like it had not been prepared fresh (one clue was that my order of crispy chicken wings were ready in 10 minutes; they take longer then that to cook and the food wasn't hot). The "spicy" orange chicken was not spicy at all. I actually got a stomach ache from eating here.
