Baby china garden was the bomb.com I ordered to go and the food was delish. Unfortunately my partner picked up the food so I can't comment on ambiance or service.

They treated me like family. I literally walked in and told the staff I have 20-25 minutes before I work and they got me in and out for lunch. I've heard Houston has some of the best Asian food and this delivered. I had the lunch special the fire shrimp covered in brown sauce, house fried rice and an eggroll. This probably one of the best eggrolls i ever had. Perfect fried and not like other places where its over fried. The side sauces were a great complement. Highly recommend going for lunch.

Nestled in a cozy corner, China Garden has been a second home to me for 17 years, and for good reason--this place has, without a doubt, the BEST egg rolls in the world!!!! Seriously, nothing else comes close. Carol, the sweetest owner you'll ever meet, makes each visit feel special, as if she's welcoming family. The egg rolls are pure perfection--crispy, golden shells encasing a savory filling that's incredibly satisfying and always fresh. They're a must with every meal; no visit here would be complete without them. And while the egg rolls are an absolute standout, Some of my favorites are the Mongolian beef, tender and flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the lemon chicken, bursting with citrusy goodness. The seafood lomein is a fantastic choice for shrimp lovers, loaded with fresh ingredients that make each bite indulgent. And, of course, the cheese puffs are a delight--light, airy, and impossible to eat just one. We always order takeout here and China Garden never disappoints!

I was on a business trip and saw on Yelp a certain style of egg roll I've been searching for at least 20 years. Phenomenal egg rolls. Expensive, but sublime!

Traveled from the woodlands to try this place after reading reviews. We arrived and the restaurant was busy, but we were seated immediately and our drinks and food came out fast. I ordered the shrimp chop suey and it was a good light dish for lunch time. These eggrolls were amazing! Highlight of the whole meal(not going to lie, this was my main motivating factor for making the drive to try this place). I wouldn't have left feeling so full if that was all I ordered, but I had to try the ribs. They were a bit tough, small portioned for the price, but had good flavor. I am glad I tried them, but will probably not dish out another $14 to try them again.

I've never heard of this place but a co-worker suggested coming here because he said the food was good and it was close to the Toyota Center since we were in the area. It was a Rocket's game night and we came together to enjoy some food before the game. I ordered stir fried beef with snow pea leaves and it came with white rice. I didn't take the rice but the food was fairly good! Service was average, they didn't come by to refill our waters as frequently which left my glass and another co-worker's glass of water empty half way through the meal until we were almost done and then we got our waters refilled as the server picked up my co-workers finished plate. My other co-worker (there were 3 of them) ordered a lemon chicken which I got to try and it was delicious! I would probably order that next time I come! Good service, good space, but not meant for groups larger than 6. The space is quite cramped, at least the side of the room I was seated on but good enough for tables of 4-5 people. Pricing is pretty average and food quality is good so I'd say it's a good "bang-for-your-buck" option specially if you want something quick just before the game! They also allow you to park in their lot for the game, just have to pay a fee otherwise your car will get towed.

I'm still on the hunt for the best Curry Chicken inside the Loop, one that rivals Wong's in League City, so after seeing the great reviews at China Garden, I decided to give it a go. This place looks as though it has not been updated since the oil crisis of the 80' and I could not quite place my finger on what the decor was trying to be. That aside, we were seated immediately and there were quite a few people there because the Rockets were playing that night so everyone was eating before the game. We started with the egg rolls and the cheese puffs. The egg roll was super yum and full of goodness. The cheese puffs were good but I found the wonton wrappers were way too large for the typical serving of cheese. That aside, they did taste good! For my entree, as I noted above, I ordered the Curry Chicken. While it was good, it just wasn't on point with what I am use to. Nonetheless, I would eat there again if I had to. Husband ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan and he said it was just ok. The sauce was too brown (normally it's white). We had the misfortune that our waiter did not give us any fortune cookies, yet other servers gave them to their tables. I guess no biggie, those cookies generally taste like cardboard anyway. LOL.

We were very excited to hear about this place. The reviews did not disappoint. It's not a fancy place but it has been there for many many years. You could tell they had a lot of regulars and everyone was very welcoming. We had some complimentary hush puppies brought to our table. We ordered a couple of appetisers to share for our group. We had pork dumplings and cheese puffs. Pork dumplings were excellent. The puffs had a little to much wonton wrapper and not enough filling for our taste. Dinner was great all around: Lemon Chicken - Sweet & Sour Chicken- Chicken & Vegetables- Beef & Broccoli- General T Chicken Egg rolls were a hit with this group of ours. We could see why they have been in business this many years.
