It's not the best Chinese I've ever had. But we are in the Keys! It works well for me when I'm looking for take out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm not sure I would eat inside... restaurant atmosphere is a little run down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone is always friendly when they take my order and give me my pick up. read more

the food. I ordered BBQ ribs and they looked like they were just pulled from the bottom of the refrigerator and heated up. no extra BBQ sauce or broiling. couldn't eat them. I had the beef and broccoli. tasted good but I had to run into the house 30 minutes later if you know what I mean. something is up. I come down for a month every year for 40 years and never had this kind of experience. so hard to get a good meal in the Florida keys. read more

I tried this place a couple of times. I'm not going back. I bought the most expensive item on the menu, not even a lunch item. The server then had the audacity to try to charge me $1.00 for a take out container for my leftovers! I didn't want that styrofoam garbage because I know I causes cancer from heating in the microwave. She wanted to sell me a cardboard take out container or plastic. I refused to tip and I'm never coming back. Abusi read more

Rice was dry. My general tso chicken wasn't that great or spicy. My wife had the chow mein with fried rice. Service was fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We took our food to the hotel but when I picked up the food the ambiance look good overall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food is okay, quantity is okay. However, one person in our party did not eat Chinese food, was a child and they did not allow the onion ring from next door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was mid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had to hurry up and leave because everyone could not eat and we had already ordered the food. read more

Worst customer service ever. As a local and ordering something specific (but minor) like a sauce I'm asking for, and such person was rude and not understanding English. Never again read more

On vacay and I was craving Chinese. This was the right choice! Generous servings, short wait time, and good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is real cute with traditional decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is seriously great Chinese food. They don't do delivery anymore since Covid, but that doesn't stop ME! The owner, May, is so incredibly kind and always get the order right even if we modify things. The portions are better than average. The food is definitely always fresh & I think made in-house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They used to have dine-in, but stopped that even before Covid and the quality is even better than before, which was hard to beat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always get the steamed pork dumplings, an order of egg rolls (which contains two, & I think are the best egg rolls I've ever had, ,not kidding & I'm from NY lol) Also have had the combo chicken broccoli platter which comes w an egg roll & pork fried rice. Excellent! Nothing is too greasy or salty. Ok it's the only Chinese place on Big Pine Key but that is NOT the reason I'm blowing up this spot. I've been all over the keys, florida, country and this is DEF my favorite Chinese place! In fact, I might have already reviewed it cause it's that good! read more

Great food, good service, huge serving sizes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small and not a ton of space for dine in but very much worth it for takeout or dine in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Average at best. No dine in option. The place is a bit messy and dirty. The food is Chinese food and that's all I can say about that.

Was about 8 PM when we decided we wanted to give this place a shot and see how good it is. Have to say... The egg drop soup is really amazing and the general tso's chicken has just the perfect spiciness to sweet. I would recommend this place if you want good fast take out. read more

China Garden - Egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - Big Pine Key, Florida

See all

Good food good service this place is one of our staples when we are in town. Try them you won't be disappointed read more

Way overpriced for the amount of food you get. Food not that tasty. Will not be going back...!!

Ordered a fair amount of food to try. We didn't like anything. The crab Rangoon's were rubber, egg rolls were doughy and not cooked through, chicken fried rice was not good. Nothing was fried, the chicken was white and rubbery, the veggies were not cooked and our other meal was cold. Just not good, we tossed it all. read more

First of all she can not speak English and over charged me for items I did not order . But oil smelled dirty on shrimp and all batter in Florida .We also ordered house fried rice had that dirty oil smell and tasted not good . Really not good overall and put me on the porcelain throne . read more

Great food. They only allowed us to go in for paying and picking up the food. So very good covid measures. We love this place and is one of our top two restaurants in the area. Thank you!! read more

Take out only which is the the only downside. Egg drop and veggie soup was just what we needed. Fried rice was delish. Definitely recommend read more

Terrible since Covid. Used to eat there and get delivery. Last time I had to wait outside & food was terrible. Not sure what happened

Don't order over the phone. It will not be correct. Don't order in person-they are rude. Don't order. You won't be disappointed. Go to WinnDixie next door and get Chinese out of the frozen section and cook it at home! You will not be disappointed! 99.5% of all of my reviews are positive. China Garden deserves this horrid one. read more

We eat here about ten times a year. The food has been consistently very good.The prices are very reasonable and the service is friendly.

We were in this area for about 6 months and kept coming to this restaurant because they have food portions, great good and the woman in the front is the sweetest thing. If we don't see her we are genuinely sad not to !! She is always so on top of everything and NEVER got our order wrong read more

Take out only. Staff doesn't speak very English. Prices aren't too bad. They get very generous portions. Make sure you like rice, you will get a lot, but alot meat also. Overall good experience, tasty food, very filling. read more

Great food! The spring rolls are so fresh! We had the chicken chow mei fun. Absolutely delicious! The general Taos chicken is deliciously sweet and spicy. Yummy! Such a friendly, generous lady waiting on me to pick up my order! Grateful for our local businesses! God Bless! read more

The portions were generous. The egg rolls were extremely greasy. It filled the pouch it came in (we had it delivered) was filled with oil. That's disgusting. The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour. I was disappointed with the soup. Maybe I should go in there and teach them how to make proper hot and sour soup. read more

Drove 30 minutes to pick up and 30 minutes home. One hour of my day. Ordered General Taos chicken. Opened the bag at home and got Orange chicken instead. Called the restaurant. Gave them my order #. Girl tells me "Orange chicken and General Taos chicken are exactly the same". I am quoting her. I politely told her no they weren't. I wanted spicy not sweet. Apparently it's exactly the same pre-fab chicken with an extra spice thrown it. Anyway, she takes my phone number and says they will replace the order next time. Ok. Whatever. I don't care. Not driving another hour. Here's the kicker. An HOUR later she calls me back to tell me her cook says he didn't make any orange chicken and now she wants to argue with me about it. Basically calling me a liar. Really??? Please keep your replacement dinner. Apparently they would rather have no repeat customers than to admit any fault. BTW, this was our first time ordering here since COVID. (and our last) They have changed the packaging of the takeout boxes. No more styrofoam. SMALL plastic boxes now and you get about 1/2 the portion size as pre-COVID. The prices have increased as well. Off the list. Never again. read more

Since there aren't many options in the lower keys for delivery food, we ordered delivery tonight for dinner. The general tso's chicken had a good flavor but was a bit tough. The crab Rangoon had minimal crab and the egg rolls were average. The food was almost cold upon delivery and the most frustrating part was that I specifically asked for extra soy sauce packets and a couple of the other sauces and the bag had 2 mustards, 2 duck sauces and no soy. The positives are that they deliver ($5 fee, $15 minimum) and it is he only Chinese that I know of in the area. Maybe a better experience next time dining in? read more

They served me some fried rice with a bug in it. It was part of a dinner and I had company so we had 2 dinners. After my guest ran out sick just from the thought I brought it to their attention. Granted that can happen at any restaurant. But they lost because they wanted to take the side of rice off my bill. I politely explained I wasn't paying for anything, as we had barely touched our food, and walked out. I won't return strictly based on customer service. read more

Standard Chinese with vegetarian options.

Love this place food is always fresh and gets here quickly. The fried tofu is wonderful and wonton soup is to die for we get two orders

I ordered take out. I went there to pick up. They didn't greet me right away when I arrived. My egg roll had a hair in it. No plastic utensils. Food was not bad / not great either. However, it's the little things....you know? read more

They have a good lunch special deal. I ordered the garlic beef (not spicey) and it was very good. I would have liked a bit more rice with my dish but other than that it was quite good. I didn't expect to find such a good Chinese restaurant in the Keys and I was pleasantly surprised. read more

I get the sweet and sour chicken every time I go and it's always fresh and hot. The business brings new people in every year who speak very little English but by the time they leave, they speak great English. My guess is people from China come here to work for a year to learn English then go back to China and I am happy to help and support them! The only downside is that sometimes they don't understand you for instance one time I got sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and a friend got sweet and sour chicken with white rice, the lady misunderstood me and brought white rice for both of us. read more

We really enjoy the food and the service is good. Really good hot and sour soup and the chicken with garlic sauce is my favorite! Great crab Rangoon's and egg rolls as well. We love having Chinese takeout in the middle Keys! read more

This place gives you a tasty meal at a reasonable price. Of course like all restaurants they are better at something's than others. ( egg foo young not so great, was soggy). The stir fry is the way to go. I am thankful for China Garden It's taken care of my Chinese cravings for 16 years and there's a lot to say about that. I do not chance eating at any other Chinese Restaurant because I have gluten intolerance - I order stir fry without the soy sauce just a white sauce and never noodles. Also always steamed rice instead of brown fried cause that has soy sauce "which has wheat gluten in it". If I go when they first open there's less chance of cross contamination . So far in the 16 years , no problems ! There is a lot to say about that. Thank you China garden for taking care of me all these years. A+++ Love this place. Do check your to go's for all that's needed. read more

worst Chinese food we've ever had. egg foo young had a yellow anise tasting sauce, odd flavor, and the cum pau chicken had no flavor at all. Poor recipes. Poor execution. Odd flavor all around, even the duck sauce was kind of yucky tasting. Fire the chef! read more

Very delicious Chinese food made fresh to order. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the delivery time was very quick! We will eat here again and again in the next few years that we're living here, definitely a staple in our diet. read more

Don't let it's location in a shopping center fool you, this place serves some of the best Chinese we have found anywhere in the country. The seafood fried rice was outstanding, with large shrimp, big chunks of scallops and lobster. Family owned, friendly service, and the portions are huge. We'll go back. read more

I thought this was good Chinese food for the reviews it had, I was skeptical. The food was delivered hot and the portions were huge. We had the sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken and chicken lo mein. The sesame chicken was very flavorful and had lots of sauce. The fried rice was nothing exceptional but not bad either. We would order again for something delivery in the Keys! read more

Another vist and a couple of take out orders in between visits. Still good food and waitress service is excellent. A word to Eric about the front desk help, they seem more interested in leaving the area and sitting down playing and texting with their I Phones and running to the Order phone when it rings. Not the waitress, they always seem running and in a hurry to take care of you. Also have your person taking phone orders SPEAK UP! read more

A weekly tradition in our home. We order out every week. Large portions, delicious and fresh. Ultra fast delivery too!!
