"first timer. I was so impressed how fast this was done and arrived (shout out to my Dasher) the Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup - is delicious, tender and flavorful! the Scallion Pancake - amazing however slightly greasy but I have to say it was not a turn off. the Pork Dumplings - definitely dumpling 😂 the Szechuan Pork Buns - very puffy! it was like a pancake wrapped meat.

"The food is the most tasty in Morris county.( my opinion) until I tried this spot I would travel 30 mins to my old town for great Chinese food. Other spots in my current area are bland and tasteless. d I Each time I order i food from here it is always hot, packaged well and tastes just like last time. Only issue I have, is they're very very stingy with their sauce packets . I order four different combination platters for four people and always always ask for lots of extra soy ,duck and spicy mustard sauce( if you don't ask they send 1 of each). When we get the order there is only 2 of each in the bag. So we also type a note for dasher to ask for extra. They only give him/her 1 duck 1 soy. I'm not sure why it is like that with this restaurant. But, if you need me to pay extra for more just say that, or add the option to order more to the menu. But I think for the flat rate $13.99 for combination plates sold elsewhere a lot cheaper then your prices you should be glad to throw a few more extra sauces in the bag at no charge. I'm just saying. "
"Comfort food from China Garden is pure happiness, including the vegetable and bean curd dishes (for vegetarians and vegans, but for everyone). Portions are more than adequate (but up to the size you choose to order), ingredients are fresh, and they'll alway be my local go-to for Chinese-American food."
