China Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Visalia

Had Chinese food here for the first time today because we wanted to try something other than Panda Express. I saw the Dinner Combo plates menu here and the decent price so we decided to try it out!

The service was friendly and the ambiance was dull and environment is dated.

Let’s talk about the food! We ordered the Daily Special which is now $16.50(?)-ish as of 5/2024. It came with orange chicken, broccoli beef, pork fried rice, pork chow mein, fried shrimp, fried chicken wings, and fried wontons. A LOT of food , RIGHT?! We were super eager to get our food! The parking lot was empty when we got there and there were no customers at the time. We purchased our order and drove home.

Upon opening our box, everything looked like your ordinary Chinese food. All the fried stuff was extremely fried. They did not look appetizing at all. Super dry. The wontons were plain and flat. I thought we were going to get the wontons with stuffing inside, but no. Fried shrimp ? Shrimp was pretty non-existent. The fried chicken wings..we didn’t even try it because it looked like mystery meat to us (bleh).

We enjoyed the orange chicken, beef and broccoli, and chow mein. The pork fried rice was eh. Nothing special about it. The rice was a little dry and lifeless too. I don’t think it needed the pork. Too much meat in one meal.

Overall, we gave this place a solid 3. All the fried extras weren’t edible. We felt like it was just leftovers they’re trying to get rid of. Would choose Panda Express over this...

Do not order soup for delivery! Or you will get Burned!. I ordered two wor won ton soups, they come with the soup and veggies and won ton in separate containers. When I opened the soup liquid it burned through the container and spilled everywhere and my hand. I called the restaurant to let them know cause it was delivery. The male manager was a jerk and said "what you want me to do about it?" Repeatedly, I said I wanted my money back and he said "you want money, you give me soup!" He was very rude and said I'd I didn't like it to call the cops and then said "BYE" like a lil kid and hung up! The woman owner wasn't any better when I called back and she said take soup out of trash and give to us and I give you money back and Im being generous! WOW worst service ever! She wanted me to put soup in plastic bag also to...

Not the same w/out Rosie. She was a great Waitress. It took this place 1/2 an hour to take our order, 1 and 15 minutes for our appetizers., and 1 hour and 45 minutes to bring our complete order. Which was 15 minutes after our appetizers where delivered to us along with our soup. (Not good ) Than another 1/2 hour for the meal we ordered to take home to a family member. We where charged $ 109.00 for 5 adult meals, at $11.00 each for 4 meals, $ 9.95 for 1 adult mesl. 3 drinks at $ 2.75, $ 4.50 for kids fris (came out late), $ 10.75 for pot stickers. And Won ton chips 1/2 order we did not even receive. OVER PRICED, SLOW SERVICE, PLUS OVER CHARGED. AND THE PLACE WAS NOT EVEN FULL OF CUSTOMERS. No clean tables...
