My husband and I dined here on 10/7. The place is really beautiful and nice. Host was welcoming. The food looked absolutely incredible and came out quickly. Unfortunately the taste was not there. The pork fried rice tasted like straight coffee grinds. The egg rolls were filled with celery?! Never heard of that before. The crab rangoon, red pork, and sweet&sour chicken were all good. It was a good size amount of food. If those two things were better this would be our place to go. read more

Overpriced frozen food reheated. Big portions but food is not good. Best thing we got was the wonton soup. Somehow none of us got food poisoning (probably because the food was all cooked in a factory 6 months ago). read more

The waitress Ava was extremely kind and helpful. She carried herself with confidence and checked on me multiple times throughout my dining experience! read more

Updated my previous review to clarify some things. Decided to go here while me and a friend were waiting for Grandma on Vacation. When we entered, the hostess was very friendly. The server, however, was rude and condescending. It seemed she was stressed or overworked or something. She was a get in and get out kind of person, and it showed. Drinks were from a can meaning no refills. But I felt they were a bit overpriced compared to other restaurants that offered the same can of soda for less. For the meals, we both ordered a sweet and sour chicken and a wonton soup. Wonton Soup came out about 5 minutes after we order and was pretty good. Like the dumpling and meat combo and the broth was tasty. Sweet and sour chicken came out surprisingly quick and wasn't as good. The sauce overpowered the chicken in a bad way and didn't taste very good compared to other sweet and sour chicken meals I've had. Overall, very disappointing for the $40 I was charged for everything, and the experience was dreadful due to the server's rudeness and mixed quality in the food. It's a shame. :( read more

This is American Chinese food for sure there were no chopsticks in sight. Nothing authentic about it. The hot and sour soup was good but way too expensive. The egg rolls are full of celery and not properly fried. I appreciate that they give you tea but the fortune cookie was so gross. read more

The island seafood had few seafood in for the price. Crab ragoons only cream cheese. No recommend it read more

China Garden - The seafood island has not enough seafood for the price. The crab ragoons all full of only cream cheese - Chinese Near Me - Belmont, New Hampshire

They used to have good Chinese food here, but recently the quality has drastically dropped. The boneless ribs are now mainly fat, the General Zhos chicken is flavorless and the rice is pasty. Sad to see this happen. read more

I have to say it's tough to review this restaurant. When driving by the place, mostly looks abandoned. There is a sign on the outside that says yes we are open, looking for employees or something like that. I took my grandson there and we're seated. The first thing I noticed, as other reviewers have noted, he is their prices are incredibly high compared to other Chinese restaurants. I will say that the food was good but the fact that a Poopoo platter for two is $30 is a bit outrageous. I will not go back. read more

This has been my favorite restaurant since I was a child but I think they must have a new cook or something because the pork fried rice I usually look forward to was a big disappointment. Honestly worst I've ever had it was not even brown and it tasted very bland. read more

I have been going to China Garden for 50 years. I have gone three times since I got back from Florida this year. I have to say that the food has gone down hill. When we complained to the Chinese woman she was very combative . Three strikes your out. I'll drive to Concord on main st they have been consitance for years. read more

Awful!!! The food was terrible and the drinks worse been going here for years and it's never been this bad. We did witness and group complain about their food and drinks and all they got was attitude from staff and a patron cursing at them. At that point we decided not to complain about our food as well and just never go back. Stay away it's gone seriously downhill. Also not to happy they charge everyone a 3 percent service fee for what??? Even paying cash. I understand tipping but a service fee? Esp for bad food read more

Steel Wool and Sick Stomach: China Garden was my preferred local Chinese restaurant but I've been convinced to look elsewhere. I have recently noticed that their egg rolls are predominantly stuffed with celery. I ordered sweet and sour chicken last night and received the sauce with no chicken. I had to go back to the restaurant to get the missing chicken while my family waited to have their Mother's Day meal. I was offered an apology but no effort was made to make up for the mistake or to compensate me for the inconvenience/hassle. I found strains of steel wool from a dish cleaning scrub pad in our rice. This is not the only review testifying to steel wool and sickness. My son also found a black substance on some of his rice. My wife had "gastric distress" last night from our meal and my stomach is upset this morning. read more

The food was delicious but bad service employees grumpy and slow and did us last even if they were after us

My Mom and my sister had told me about this place years ago but I never went there . With Covid so many places have closed but not China Garden . We finally tried it and we are so glad we did . They have the best crab Rangoon's I have ever had . I thought they were expensive until I realize they give you a ton of them . They were so good we were fighting over them lol Everything else we tried we lived too . The chicken fingers were also in my top three places to get them . Cannot wait to try more things next time we go . We are moving to Gilford and guess where we will go the first night we are there . It is a must try for really good Chinese food read more

Just moved back to the lakes Region from the Mid west.. parents used to take us here all the time, so me and the husband picked up an order , and it was still amazing, just as I recalled! We never in the mid west got this kind of food! Most places were horrible! Good to be back on the east coast! read more

The pu pu platter is amazing! I stop in every time I'm in town and have never been disappointed. You will not regret coming here.

Very bland.. Not a good choice for lunch or dinner combinations, especially on Sundays, even though it was,A holiday weekend. Tried today.. Not impressed.. Never,again!!! Server didn't know her soda products.. Coke or pepsi? Never came by to ask if everything was ok! We only had leftovers because it wasn't the best!!! Do Not recommend this place!! read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE & $$$ the Pu-Pu Platter "for 3" didn't have as much as a regular Pu-Pu Platter for two at any other restaurant. The Crab Rangoon was tasteless. The General Gao's chicken was so soggy it was gross and it wasn't even the least bit spicy. The dumplings were mediocre and that's the best compliment I can give for the entire order. And all of that cost $85.00. Would never recommend this place to anyone. If you go be prepared to pay dearly and be woefully underwhelmed. read more

Went to china garden in Belmont for dinner, spend $65 on food and get a nasty bone and cartilage knuckle in my beef and broccoli that looks in no way like it came from a cow or bull. Called to complain and ask for a credit since I can't eat this and made me sick to my stomach and I get no apologies or offer to make it right,, they tell me to bring the bone back so the cook can see it!!!! Are you serious. Never will we eat there again and I don't recommend anyone else does either. This cartilage knuckle looks like it came from a cat if I'm being honest. read more

My daughter and I went in May for Mother's Day. I'd been many, many years ago. I was embarrassed. The food was not good and the looks we got from staff were totally unnecessary. Would not bother again. read more

Despite living in the area for over 30 years and just over 10 minutes from here; yesterday was the first time we've ordered from China Garden. The restaurant we usually use did not have chop suey on the menu, which one thing one of my guests wanted. China Garden has a more expansive menu and we gave it a try. We ordered a variety of appetizers, fried rice and of course the chop suey. Everything was delicious. Food was hot, crispy, servings were plentiful and the cost very reasonable. This will now be our go to Chinese restaurant. read more

Having ordered one hundred and nine dollars of food and getting ten dollars worth, I would not go back. The chicken fingers were so over done you could not eat them, the egg rolls were also overdone. The only thing we could eat was the fried rice. The PuPu platter what a joke, the only things that could be chewed were chicken wings. The owners clearly do not care if they put out good food or not. So sorry. read more

I have been eating at this restaurant since I moved to the area in the 90s this is the best Chinese food in the area period I have tried many places in NH none compare this restaurant got my wife and daughter to eat all Chinese food but only there no where else is equal thanks China Garden for being the greatest in NH. read more

i know it's New Year's Eve, one of the busiest nights So I expected to wait a little extra past my requested pick up time of 6pm. Me receiving a call at 4:25 saying my food is ready is UNACCEPTABLE. In addition, me expressing to the woman at the window how ridiculous that is, her screaming at me as if I was in the wrong was also UNACCEPTABLE. I have been a customer for over 10 years, and have never been treated so poorly, by them or any other food establishment. As a business owner myself, I'd NEVER treat a customer so disrespectfully as I was treated today. I'd give them a pass for food being ready a half hour early on this hectic day, and as I said, I expected it to be done late, but not an hour and a half early. read more

Maybe I'm just spoiled having lived close to New York City four Chinese food as I cannot recommend this place and if I could give it less than one star I would. Spent just chi I'm $100 for a few different dishes I don't think anyone ate more than a couple bites. Never again. Going to try a place over in Franklin thatWMUR recommended that one time. read more

It was 3 o'clock Christmas Eve so we opted out of a fancy dish as suggested by our waiter way to go was simple appetizers. We ordered a poopoo and pork fried rice Came out in minutes. Cold, dry and tasteless. We left our mostly uneaten pupu and rice on the table. $29 for poopoo pupu and $8 for rice Waiter apologized said all food was cooked hours ago nothing is fresh due to the volume of to go orders. Spoke with owner she had a blaming tone and said "No Fresh food to your order we too busy to cook fresh we only have 4 woks" no apologies ,Terrible food , high prices = no return. read more

My absolute standard for wonton soup broth, butterfly shrimp, subgum fried rice and hot mustard. SERVICE. So i spent my first NYE here 53 years ago and my mom has been a patron for years before that - and we have definitely learned not to EXPECT great service. We kind of think of the service the same way we would a crazy great aunt that may be grumpy one day and stuff you with cookies the next. Its just part of the "charm." FOOD. Some of the dishes are very different from any other chinese food that ive had, so if you are the type of patron that has a favorite Chinese dish and like it the way you've always had it, it may be hit or miss for you. Not a huge fan of their egg rolls - they are kind of doughy but i get them so i can smother them in hot mustard (diluted with some duck sauce bc it is HOT mustard). But their wonton soup broth - so delicate - not oily or overpowered by chicken. I have tried for years to figure out the recipe-and live 16 hours away now- so if you figure it out pls let me know :) read more

It's fine if you're not picky. Otherwise there's not much to get. They often run out of french fries or chicken tenders and the food isn't always fresh. read more

Great food. The service is only Ok. Primarily because the management does not ever correct an error, and unreasonably upcharges for everything (box for take out, any substitution, etc). The food is always good read more

I spent $117 for food New Year's eve. Called and placed order on Thursday for pickup at 2:00 Friday to beat the rush. Got to front of line at 2:30 , went home and unpacked food and ate (tried to) immediately. The chicken fingers, crab rangoons, dumplings, and chicken teriyaki were legitimately inedible. They were so overcooked that even soaking in duck sauce was useless. The fried rice and Lomein were good. Clearly the appetizers were made many hours ahead of time! I called Saturday morning to speak with the owner who basically said I was lucky to get food at all on New Year's eve because they are so busy and she knows the food isn't good on that day , nothing she can do because they are so overwhelmed they can't put out a good product. She said food was not made to order or fresh. I said well I have ordered food from other establishments New Year's eve and it was quality product, so she told me then go to them next year! Nice. There was no defense or even a pretense of a defense for such a horrible product nor any apology. I am still dumfounded by what she said to me. read more

Food is always fresh, hot and good. Service is usually good. The only complaint is that they nickle and dime to death. There's the typical upcharge to substitute, but when we asked for an extra to go box we were charged 50 cents. That seems crazy considering that the prices are already higher than they should be read more

This was some of the worst Chinese food I have EVER had!! Everything tasted like it had been frozen or out of a can. I got curry that looked like lumpy gravy. It was disgusting! LaChoy. My husband ordered duck. Dried out. We ordered house fried rice. It was dark brown and had nothing in it. We sent it back. It looked like she brought us the same exact rice with NOTHING. We were totally disgusted. We said we were leaving but we'd pay for our drinks and egg rolls (which were not fresh at all and barely warm). You could tell they were pre made and had been sitting for awhile. We left..............still hungry! HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!!! read more

We ordered take out tonight and even though it was VERY busy the staff was running around accommodating everyone. Our food was very good as well! read more

Best in Chinese Food around lakes region. Boneless ribs and house fried rice are almost perfect every time.

Not the best of days and greatly in need of comfort food, so what's better than Chinese food?!? Deciding it would be our lunch/dinner we decided to go mid afternoon. Discovered there is no luncheon specials menu on Sunday, but that was ok! We decided to order a dinner for 2 which includes either juice or soup, choice of egg roll or fried shrimp and 2 entrees. We went with the Wonton soup, egg rolls and number 4 which was butterfly shrimp with vegetables and sub gum fried rice. The tea we ordered arrived promptly served by a very nice waitress. Next came the soup--a full cup of steaming broth, meat filled wontons and slices, not little slivers, of boneless pork. A little bowl of fried wontons accompanied the yummy soup. Next came the egg rolls that were fresh and crispy, very tasty and good size. Of course, there was the hot Chinese mustard and a pretty decent Duck Sauce too. Our shrimp and rice dishes were delivered to us in good time and they were both heaping portions of very good food. The fried shrimp were covered in a brown sauce and veggies---cooked perfectly and served piping hot. Love that! The rice was not what I thought it would be---I thought sub gum meant with nuts, but maybe not. Our rice had veggies in it and was the kind of darker fried rice I grew up eating, but no nuts. It was so delicious, it didn't matter! The restaurant appears to have had some new updates since the last time we actually ate there. We usually do takeout, so not sure when. Needless to say, we enjoyed our meals and we have plenty of leftovers. Also, the dinner for 2 was only $25----can't beat that! read more

In rural areas, you're lucky if you can find something that's even as good as *ugh** Panda Express, but this is the only restaurant in this area we've found that actually has true Chinese cuisine. The food is always fresh; we only get takeout orders, but they always ask when we think we'll pick it up, so that it doesn't sit and deteriorate. Of course that means they don't cook things in large quantities, then hope someone orders it. If you're used to big-city Asian food, this is the only one in the Laconia area that isn't grease-soaked, and lousy. We've never been disappointed. read more

My family was in the mood for Chinese, so we stopped here on a Saturday afternoon. There were not many cars in the parking lot and not a lot of customers in the restaurant. We stood by the hostess counter. And waited. And waited. And waited. Serving people walked by and pretended not to see us. We decided to use the time to look at the menu....found it to be extremely expensive, but we had enough time to figure out what everyone in our party wanted. I put the menu back on the counter and we continued to wait. Finally, we decided that the poor service (lack of acknowledgement that we were even standing there for at least 20 minutes) probably signified the quality of the food...and we decided to leave. No one cared. Obviously this is not a restaurant we will attempt to patronize again. read more

Been going here for 20 years the food was always good, it's changed not as good now maybe a different cook. The egg rolls are half the size they used to be mostly dough read more
