China Garden — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Update: Came here and placed an order in person to take home lunch. The beef and broccoli I ordered with no broccoli (watched the man write it down) had more broccoli than beef. Beef/sauce was ok but not the best I ever had. Fried rice was fine but not much pork pieces. Egg roll was ok but quite soggy by the time I got home - I don't usually have this problem with Chinese take out or delivery - stays crispy so that was disappointing. I mentioned in my last review I was happy that they had the broad homemade looking crispy noodles. Today, I was given generic skinnier crispy noodles. I do not know if they switched or what but that was also a bummer. I did really like the general tsos chicken. Great sauce and much better portion than we got with the beef. I have an issue with some Chinese chicken dishes having woody/stringy or cartilage-y chicken that I find really off putting. This chicken was 90% to my liking I only had maybe two bites that were like that the rest was nice and tender so I was generally happy with it. Wonton soup the wontons are great the broth is flavorful but very salty and lacks those pork and scallion pieces in the broth you get at other place that I like.

Preliminary review as I only popped in here for a snack of wonton soup but so far so good. I really enjoyed the broth and the wontons were delicious and plentiful in the size large to go container. Maybe could have used more of the pork and scallion garnish. It was a nice surprise to have a free bag of crispy noodles that were not the pathetic kind that most take out Chinese places give you (if at all). They were closer to the sit down Chinese restaurants that they put out on the table for dipping. While they were not quite as deep in flavor they were much more enjoyable. Service was fast and seemed friendly enough. Will be back to try...

Don't go here. I order Boneless spare ribe and plain fried rice and a small soup. They give me burn spare ribe and vegetables in my rice, and the soup taste like dish water. Not saying they sabotage my food but if you walk in to order your food they not going to do a good job. But if you call in it will be good, that only because they don't know if you black or white yes...

I hate writing negative reviews but I felt I had to for the benefit of the next person who ordered.

I could get into detail but overall do not order. Not only did it not taste good I actually stopped eating it. I dunno how they got such high reviews. This is not a matter of ordering something that taste ok or even bad. I had to...
