China Garden Restaurant

The pan fried pork dumplings, egg rolls, Lemon Chicken, and the Hunan Shrimp were incredible here. We will definitely come back soon!

2022: As soon as I saw the yung chou chow mein, I dragged my family here. Our food plans fit right in with our visit to downtown Houston. See, my parents’ friends used to make this dish in my little hometown, but since they’ve retired, no one has filled this hole until China Garden. We had lemon chicken, yung Chou chow mein, wonton soup, mixed vegetables, HUGE and delicious egg rolls, and the ice cream pie for dessert! Oh they threw in some wonderful hush puppies as well. I wish I had extra stomachs. My family and I were in LOVE!! For those reviewers griping about this isn’t authentic, you must not have grown up true Cantonese. What you’ve been eating is no longer whole Cantonese fare at other restaurants, even in Chinatown (yes, SF included). Most Asian restaurants serving dim sum and other dishes are mixed now with a Taiwanese or other Asian flair. So don’t knock this place. We met the owners. Carol is so nice and easy to talk to. Gwen on the staff is fantastic. Their parents created a beautiful legacy that this family is continuing. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed!! 2023: We returned late July. Carol recognized us as soon as we walked in the door!! We had the delicious egg rolls again as well as their famous lemon chicken, Yung Chow chow mein, and more! This time we added to our connections when we talked even more with the family, Cameron and Richard. All owners of the restaurant and absolutely fantastic! They’re such a sweet family, which makes the visit a delight and complete. Get to know them. You won’t be disappointed at all.

Was greeted by elderly man who happened to be very hardworking Was all the time busy with his chores. Gave us a table whose chairs were not properly arranged Ordered soup but wasn’t explained the price clearly had to ask twice Soup was flavorful and wholesome. The beef chow main was very tender and tasty. Noodles were perfect Then ordered lemon chicken which was bland and not hot. It tasted not seasoned. Service was efficient but not friendly enough. Bill was brought before we were halfway into the food. The place was getting busy. Spring roll was okay
