We were trying to get a quick bite Sunday and everything was closing early but thank goodness for Chinese Takeout. Can always count on Chinese takeout places to come through. My wife got the chicken wing and fried rice combo and I got fried wantons. The chicken was done really well and the fried rice was perfect. Fried wantons can be hit or miss, some making it too fried and crispy where it hurts my mouth or soft and tender where I don't know where the wanton ends and the meat begins. I prefer the latter and I have to say it was perfect. Since it's located on Broadway street, it didn't have that takeout feel I'm used to being from DC and looked more like a regular sit down restaurant. The person that took out food was friendly and personable. read more

China Garden - Kung Pao Shrimp and Egg Roll - Cantonese Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Came here from out of town and our first stop was at this place. We ordered vegetable eggrolls and an order of general tao chicken with french fries. Eggrolls were good but the general tao didn't taste like general tao chicken. The sauce was a totally different sauce then I have ever tasted and not good. The price was good but honestly didn't finish dinner plate. The restaurant seemed quite and nicely spaced out. Bathroom was clean. However, I would not go back to this establishment again. I went to use the bathroom after paying for my order and while I was in the bathroom the male staff worker who took my order was about to key into the bathroom. Luckily my husband stopped him from keying in. The worker tried to justify his act by stating the water from the sink was running too long. Bottom line food was not all that great and service didn't make it better. read more

Fast and friendly service. Well seasoned food and huge portions for a great price. Highly recommend the shrimp toast, crab Rangoons, pork fried rice, and beefy ho fun. read more

Small restaurant with very limited seating. Most tables are only meant for groups of 2 or 4. Depending on how busy they are, they may accommodate more. While we dined in, they were able to put to center tables together for a party of 9. First come first served. No reservations. Inside is outdated. There are single bathrooms for men and women. Only customers can use the restrooms. Food was not good. I'm only giving it a 2 since one person in our party didn't complain about the food. I ordered the pint of chicken fried rice; they bring out a plate with your meal on it. I was planning on taking food back to the hotel for later but the portions are not what's listed on the menu. You pay for a pint (smallest option) and it's a scoop of said item. The restaurant is def making money on only giving you a fraction of what you paid for. The food was overly oily. The chicken in the fried rice was rubbery and seemed under cooked. I did not eat it. We also ordered sweet and sour chicken which was okay but it tasted as though the deep fry oil should be changed. I expected very little from this place and that's exactly what I got. I do not recommend this place. read more

Stopped here for take out but you can finally sit inside the restaurant. It seemed like there was only one person taking the order and possibly cooking. It was my first time here but I've been wanting to try it. I ordered crab Rangoon as an appetizer and enjoyed it. The appetizer was crispy and I liked the red-orange sauce that was served with it. Would definitely order that again. My lunch was shrimp w cashews, and wasn't particularly fond of it. This was in a brown sauce and was pretty mediocre. It didn't have fresh broccoli or carrots like I was expecting- lots of water chestnuts, mushrooms and bamboo shoots- I wouldn't order it again. The general Tso was delicious and a heaping portion. Both entrees came with pork fried rice. They have an enormous menu- I would definitely come back but wouldn't order the shrimp w cashews. read more

delicious food and fast delivery it was raining and we decided to eat in so glad we did.

Was craving Chinese food and decided to give this place a try. The wonton soup was good and the waitress was very nice but the chicken and broccoli was horrible, rubbery and just didn't taste right. read more

Didn't have the opportunity to post some pictures because the food was so good! The food was done and ready fast and quick! I ended up getting the pepper steak and onion, to which turns out it was not black cracked pepper. However, it was Bell peppers. And I seldomly enjoy those as well. They gave me so much rice. I ended up getting the Chow mein, when in reality I should have gotten the lo mein, because those are the ones with noodles. They gave me some fried noodles on the side as well. Very tasty! In addition, I also purchased the garlic chicken and vegetables. Perfectly seasoned. I will go again! The ambiance was peaceful and very quiet. I was the only one inside as I waited for my order, but as I left, a bunch of other people arrived for a perfect late night meal. read more

Very cozy atmosphere. Quick service. Food came out hot and was delicious. Very reasonably priced. No wait time.

Great spot for takeout. Staff is very plesent to interact with. Nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Broadway, as a local. Parking is tough. read more

The take-out from this spot is decent. I enjoy their sweet & sour chicken. They have "good" pork friend dumplings. Average at best.

Thank you, China Garden! This place is really getting it done. We were grateful for a quick, comfortable meal away from the Fall Festival crowds. Highly recommend! read more

Really nice people super fast service very reasonably priced in my opinion the best Chinese food in this area. They are open late almost every night and open on Mondays and open most holidays when other places are closed. Standard menu, good food. read more

Hidden gem! Don't be fooled by the appearance, walk in and order with confidence, you won't be disappointed. If there were more stars to give, I would give them more. read more

China Garden - Cantonese Near Me - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

I used to come here on business trips in Jim Thorpe. It was the only place nearby my hotel that wasn't a deli and was open. The food was a bit different from the fast food Chinese joints that I'm used to on the west coast but still very delicious. I would come in the evenings and there would always be a lady there with her small son. Appears to be a family owned and operated business. The family was always very warm and the food was great. They offer a good variety of familiar/Americanized dishes. All plates hot and as fresh as you can get from a Chinese fast food restaurant. All in all, a good spot to grab something ethnic and open late. read more

Ordered take out while staying at The Inn. They provided us with utensils and sauces. We got the general tso, egg rolls, and shrimp lo mein. All very delicious for a local Chinese restaurant. Order only took about 20 minutes to prepare. Well worth it. I would order here again. read more

I came here around 6pm on a Friday evening to order food and take home to eat it. The service was great. It was easy to order. There were other people coming in to place orders and pick up food. Despite people coming in our food did come out within a decent amount of time. I had gotten the sesame chicken combination plate. They were willing to sub out the pork fried rice for plain white rice. Overall I had a great experience and the food tasted great as well! read more

I have gone to this Restaurant for years. It's a Christmas Eve tradition to buy my Holy Supper dinner from China Garden. I have always had great food, perfect happy smiles and no issues. Jim Thorpe does not offer upscale dinning like people from the City are use to. This is a small town and we live simply isn't that why everyone from the City comes here? read more

The day we visited Jim Thorpe we had eaten a late lunch and decided to skip dinner and just have ice cream for "dinner". We walked up and down Broadway for hours shopping, exploring and on a walking tour. We passed by this restaurant several times and it smelled so good. So at 10 pm on a Saturday night when we were finally a little hungry and could not take the amazing smells coming out of this place we finally went in. Damn, it was some of the best Chinese I've had. We had a simple tofu and vegetable dish but it was so delicious. read more

Pretty good for a small town chinese restaurant. I would consider it more of a takeout place instead of a dine-in place, but there was a family in there eating when I picked up. Only 1 block from the Inn. The hot and sour soup was pretty good the egg roll was good and the Kung Bo chicken was decent. read more

Excellent lunch specials-you get an entry, a generous portion plus small soup, definitely enough to fill one person up and have leftovers probably. We stopped here on Sat afternoon as we wanted something quick, and the food was hot and fresh. Lunch for 2 people with beverages was like 20 bucks, pretty good in my book! read more

Good food with fast & friendly service on the way to the Mauch Chunk Opera House. Would return when in the area.

I just ordered here while visiting my mother. I have ordered here before and it was delicious! Although this time it was absolutely horrific. As we all started eating the food, we realized there was no sauce on our ho fun special, it was dry as fuck. There was chicken in all the orders, & it had a terrifying Oder to it. We realized after eating some it was bad/ undercooked or expired chicken. Even blood in the chicken wings. Lady tried telling me since we bit a little of it she was not gonna refund. But did I get all my money back ? YES TF I DID. Overall I would not recommend ordering from China Garden. They will never see my face again and that is for sure. read more

It's the only Chinese restaurant place in town, I wish they would greatly up their game but with no direct competition don't expect much. I ordered the hot and spicy beef, and double cooked pork. Both meals were the same - same sauce, same flavor, low quality, bland, a little sweet, not spicy, and inauthentic. The only real difference between the meals is that in the beef you get yellow rice for the side, while in the pork you get white rice. The beef stir fry had onions and peppers, the pork had baby corn and cabbage. The beef cuts were very cheap and tasteless. The double cooked pork was not double cook pork, which should be thinly sliced pieces like bacon, it was the typical Cantonese style red tipped pork. I'd say the meals tasted like they came from a frozen bag and were not at all fresh. I gave two stars instead of just one because the owners are very friendly even though the food was a disappointment, at least compared to anything you could get from Chinatown or in China. Photos not worthwhile to add, the food looks like every other two bit Chinese restaurant. read more

Usually, I love this as a lunch spot. My last few visits have been fine, but nothing to write home about. However, I placed an order for take-out the other day for a couple of quarts of wonton soup and the wontons were filled with less than an ounce of meat for a WHOLE lot of wonton. The dough they use can fit in the palm of my hand, but I took a bite out of one and noticed there barest amount of filling. I understand conserving resources, but it was an outrageously small portion of filling. I also found a scrap of a steel wool sponge in my broth (at least it's good to know that they clean their pots) but I was turned off from eating after that. I'll have to find a new Chinese place. read more

Recently moved to Lehighton and have tried out the closest Chinese places around. My boyfriend and I have to vote this as the best one. We've ordered take out multiple times now from this place and still have yet to be disappointed. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for Chinese food. read more

The food was just okay nothing special just your average Chinese place, I really didn't get much chicken at all though with the lunch special just mainly broccoli. read more

Absolutely amazing! The place is top notch and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It's definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. My crew and I, are definitely going back whenever we visit Jim Thorpe again. read more

There were 9 of us staying in a nearby AirBNB in Jim Thorpe and needed to procure takeout. We had a pretty complicated order and it was long because of the number of people (plus we all wanted leftovers for our travel day the next day). Order and pickup was easy, the food was all hot, and no one had any complaints! The bill also wasn't nearly as high as I thought it would be for 9 of us with lots to order. I was impressed! read more

Friendly staff, amazing steamed dumplings and the best general tso's i've ever had! thanks for staying open during covid!

Always good food, eat in or take out. Food is always hot and fresh. I have no need to look for another Chinese restaurant.

First, the delivery took an hour when they said 30 minutes. I reminded them that I needed a fork and spoon (I was in a hotel). Nope. Nada. The shrimp with lobster sauce was super salty. read more

We went there basically because it was the only place open. There are a million places that look like this, and none that I can think of are very good. So, expectations were low. That said, our food was really good. The sushi was fresh and well prepared and the Chinese dishes we ordered were solid! Service was good & overall, a good experience. read more

If what we got that day is their everyday quality, this place deserve no less than four stars High quality Chinese food, highly recommended

Could do better. Food is definitely pre packaged and not fresh. I mean you are asian. You should know how to make quality Asian food or don't bother opening an "Asian restaurant" read more

Very good Chinese food. We ordered take out and pickup was easy. The food was great without being overly greasy. The general tso's was my favorite. read more

First I will start with yes I know its Christmas Eve and I'm sure they were busy.... the egg rolls were not only burnt but full of oil. Which I assume means they were over cooked the first time and then refried. The chicken and broccoli had an odd smell. read more

I was iffy bc Chinese food tends to be too greasy but glad I went with it. Best food @ Jim Thorpe. Singapore mei fun & general tso were the best dishes! read more

I was expecting another mediocre Chinese restaurant, but the food was delicious! We ordered Shrimp Lo Mein, General Tso's Chicken and Beef Fried Rice. The place was clean and had great service. read more
