Food was well packed, however…read more The Urban Fries weren't too bad, although two little slices of pickles does make the food feel stingy for some reason. The chicken tender prices are criminal here, especially at the delivery prices, and it's definitely not the best tenders I've had. I don't rate based on price, but it's at least worth a mention. The spice level was good, however, and what I've expected for Nashville hot. I enjoyed the cup of seasoned corn, although there was one unpleasant bite where it was just char, like just black burnt stuff. They need to clean their grill better! Lastly, the Texas toast you can definitely skip. It leaned on stale and I'd rather used to butter in my fridge. The sliver of sesame on one side was fun, however.

We watched multiple people walk out because they were told it would take 35-45 minutes for an order of food to come out. Which is UNHEARD of for a fast food joint. When we ordered they asked if it was dine in or Togo which we told them dine in. They proceeded to pack up our food and practically rushed us out of the store. Apparently they value online orders and Togo orders vs the customers that actually want to dine in.

Getting to the location was quite easy, parking was super easy as well, it is in a small shopping center. As I went inside, I could smell the food, and I knew it was going to be good. I was greeted by a younger guy who handed me the menu, but fortunately, I already knew what I wanted! Which was one of everything! But, I was solo on this day, so I had to have some restraint! I chose to go with the catfish basket, with 2 filets, fries (cajun), a side of mac and cheese, and a side of their specialty sauce that comes with crawfish! I had an appointment I was going to next, and I didn't think about how long it would take, but fortunately, it didn't take long at all. They drop the food to cook after you order, which I love!!! The catfish and fries were piping hot when they came out. Seasoned just perfectly for my taste! I'm glad I went with the two, so that I could take the other one home for later!!! I don't know how they season the fish, but keep doing what you're doing! I got the mac and cheese, it looked super good. It was cheesy and had the cheese pull that we all know and love. It wasn't my most favorite dish, it was missing a little something. BUT!!! When I added the side sauce with the crawfish in it, it became my favorite! Something about that combo just works! I believe it's the sauce they use in one of their pastas, but don't quote me on that! The sauce I used as a dip for everything, fries, mac and catfish. It is worth getting! All in all, loved everything about this place. It reminds me a little of some of the places I used to go to growing up in Memphis. Family vibe, packing lots of flavors, good music going, and just good everything. Will be back to try more of the menu!

Extremely Displeased with China Cottage - A Warning to Others I recently had an incredibly frustrating experience with China Cottage that compelled me to share my dissatisfaction. We ordered through UberEats, and within minutes of completing payment, we received a notification stating that the restaurant adjusted the price from $33.00 to $50.00 without any explanation. In response, we promptly canceled the order through the app, only to discover that we were still being charged because the restaurant claimed to have started preparing the food. Not only were we charged a whopping $17.00 more than expected, but we also didn't receive any food. To make matters worse, the restaurant failed to include any note explaining the sudden price increase. Attempts to contact the restaurant have been made, with them providing excuses like "the manager isn't here during close" and conflicting information about when the manager is available. It's incredibly disappointing that they didn't take the initiative to reach out and discuss the unexpected charge, leaving us frustrated and without resolution - and still being charged for food. This experience has left me questioning the integrity and customer service of China Cottage. I strongly advise potential customers to be wary of such practices and consider alternative dining options. read more

Note to others about closing, it has been re-opened as China Cottage in December 2007) China Cottage (formerly Hong Kong Garden) is hands down the best translation of Chinese / Taiwanese cuisine into the American "Chinese food standard". The selection at China Cottage (formerly Hong Kong Garden) is endless, ranging from simple Mongolian Chicken to extremely authentic specials concocted for only a week's use by the head chef. The service ranges from excellent to average, some of the servers there are under the age of twenty and some have been serving for the past ten years. The prices are extremely reasonable. Whatever your experience at the China Cottage (formerly Hong Kong Garden) is, you will want to go back. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When I received my order, I noticed black lines in the rice, which was extremely concerning. It could have been mold or even insect contamination--none of which should be in properly prepared food. This raises serious questions about their food quality and hygiene. I definitely won't be returning. read more
