    Beef broccoli
    Ma S.

    As a Chinese American from the old capital city of Beijing, I have always over looked American Chinese food in search of truly authentic Chinese restaurants. I've been to Cheng's garden many times but never left a review, as I felt that it was good but unfortunately, not authentic. Guess what? Neither am I, sort of a wake up call moment when I passed 30 years living in America & had just realized I am no where near being authentic Chinese to pass my judgments. I am more American than Chinese, maybe at most 50:50. When I dropped my bias, & started to enjoy Cheng on a weekly basis, I realized how good Cheng actually is. The food is always clean & crisp, not greasy, not heavy, not overly complex in flavoring. The taste for the signature dishes such as beef broccoli, chicken & shrimp combo, Mongolian beef etc. are delicious and consistent. The hot & sour soup has always been awesomely spot on. The food is inexpensive & the services are attentive & delightful. I've realized that this is the authentic Chinese food after all, as authentic as it can be to Chinese Americans like me.

    Based on the reviews I was a little iffy to try this place. But the place didn't disappoint. I went flduring lunch hours so ordered off the lunch menu. Which comes with your choice of 3 different soups, an egg roll, and rice. The portions are large, if I was headed home after eating, I would have taken the leftovers home. I got the general chicken. The menu said it was spicy, however I didn't taste any spice to the chicken. And also ordered the fried rice. Not sure if they use msg in the food. If they do, I didn't taste it. I recommend to those looking foe a quick bite to eat if in the area.

    We really like this little restaurant and haven't been here since pre covid days. They closed down for over a year and we just finally returned to visit. The food has always been very good here and fairly priced. The waiting staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The only downside in my last review was that when you were seated at your table your tea cups would be placed directly on the table.... Upside down. This always bothered us for obvious reasons. I don't know if they read my last review or if covid has changed their ways but we were pleasantly surprised to see they weren't doing the upside down cup thing anymore. We ordered the mango chicken which isn't something we normally order. It was well prepared but way too sweet for my taste buds. The Shanghai spring rolls and sweet and sour soup were very good. We like the location because it's very near the cinemax theaters in the mall so it makes for a nice night out. Also Costco is there too so a quick gas up and a couple huge boxes at Costco. Great multipurpose trip!

    We have been trying to find a go to Chinese restaurant in Enfield area for a while, none have been up to our expectations. A little hesitant based up the rating but decided to try Cheng's. We were very pleased! The General Gau's (aka Tso's) was nicely fried, and tender with no fat, nice size pieces and good quantity for a combo. The fried rice was very tasty and fresh. The egg roll was the best we have had in a long time, perfectly cooked not too crunchy, filling was equally fresh and tasteful. Also, had Shrimp mein fun, my wife loved it and said it was very good, with 6 tender shrimp. Her complaint was lack of shrimp, expected 10-12. Boneless Ribs were also good but fatty as are typical when ordered as side. Close to 5 stars, but only 4 due to quantity of shrimp in dish. We will back Update February 15, 2020: Creatures if habit we ordered the same dishes. Unlike last time the shrimp mein fun had plenty of shrimp 10-13 as expected (maybe they read this and improved or the past visit in Dec. was a fluke. Either was a very enjoyable take out meal. Nor ribs this time, the General Gau's combo was very good with so much food I couldn't finish it all, tender chicken, very good fried rice and nice fried egg roll. I am upping to 5 stars based upon this visit. Nice job to Cheng's Garden.

    This is the best Chinese food restaurant in Western Ma/Northwestern CT! For 30 years I've been searching for the best spot and I can't believe I've missed this place. Until now. We ordered the pupu for 3 and PFR. Everything was cooked to perfection. Chicken fingers were golden delicious. Best beef teriyaki and boneless ribs I've ever had. The PFR was phenomenal. Very clean and the ambiance was great. Service was fantastic! The waitress was very engaging with our one year old son and he absolutely loved the food as well! We won't be going anywhere else for Chinese food. What a hidden gem!

    Well, the food has continued to go down hill over the years, but now I've reached my limit. Trash…read morerestaurant. Between the mold they have growing in their kitchen and the horrible customer service , new china is probably the only decent place in Enfield to order from. Edit: after going through the food I had 4 half inch by 1 inch pieces of steak for my15 dollar meal. Edit 2: decided to actually sift through the rest of this. Apparently lo mein is so expensive for them that you get a quarter of what you ask for:

    Today the food was horrible, usual it's ok but not today .. it's 5:30 pm and wanted something quick…read more. This was a mistake , 50.00 mistake .. The eggs rolls were so greasy, as if oil was not hot enough or was old and needed cleaning .. the 6 egg rolls could not be eaten.. The French fries were so over cooked you could knock on wood with them., it was as if they were old ..and warmed up. The chicken nuggets were greasy dry and Burnt and could not be eaten hard to chew. . The crab rag goon was greasy and flavor was not there it was thrown in trash with fries ,chicken , and the egg rolls .. We also got 2 soup and large order of beef and broccoli.. in all the food was a 50.00 bust .. we ended having to go to McDonald's for the kids because Great Wall food went in the trash ... and that was a added cost we didn't expect .. The food in the past was usual good but not in the last few months .. I will not be ordering from them any time soon , unless I hear they got their act together and improved their quality of food . The food was not fresh, as if warmed over It was greasy dry burnt and disgustingly .

    1/3 lo mein and the rest rice. When you ask for lo mein, then get screamed at for asking about it.
