This has become my go-to place for Chinese. The order is always accurate and hot. Nice sized portions and everything that I've tried has been good. My only complaint would be that when ordering online it's usually about a 30 minute prep time, so sometimes have to wait a little when picking up the order. I will definitely continue to order from here. read more

We did not enjoy our takeout from this restaurant. The service was fast and friendly but unfortunately the food was just not very tasty. This is a takeout only establishment. So you walk-in and there's no tables just a few chairs and the take out window. We ordered orange beef and a poo poo platter. Everything was very mediocre. The beef wasn't crispy. Over sauced. The poo poo platter was a mess. The egg rolls were greasy, the ribs were chewy. The scallop and shrimp were ok I guess. I ordered fried rice and got yellow rice without anything in it that you expect in fried rice (onion, peas) and it didn't look the least bit fried. On a positive note, the food was hot and fast. But I would not eat here again. We through out the leftovers. read more

A few years ago this place was one of the best. Now the food has no flavor and the meat is hard and barely flavorful. The price of the food does not match the quality. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Save your money and head to another restaurant. As always the service is rushed and up charges go without being mentioned. read more

First time order with China Garden, and it was GREAT. The delivery was early, it was packed really well, and it was HOT. To top it off, the food was fantastic. This will be my new Chinese delivery restaurant from now on. I'm really impressed as you can tell! read more

I don't know what happened to the place. it was my go to for years. now the food is awful quality. on top of that I ordered ribs and soup which on their online menu came to $11. when I picked up it was $19 for a small wonton soup and flavorless ribs. I will never be going here again. read more

This has very good food. The people in our office like to order lunch from here. The food is always fresh and delicious. You can get pork or vegetable fried rice. Lunch comes with soup or egg roll. We all get the egg drop soup which is exceptional. We call in the order and everything is ready when someone picks it up. read more

I selected this place off Uber Eats given the high rankings it had on that platform. I ended up ordering the bourbon chicken meal and chicken lo mein. It was prepared and sent over to me via Uber Eats and arrived pretty fast for a weekend. The food was packed well and sealed in the bag. The food was also very hot upon arrival. Both items consisted of a decent portion size and was fresh. I wouldn't hesitate to order from this place again. read more

Don't be fooled by the 4 star review. Most reviews came over a year ago. If you like disgusting greasy garbage China Garden is the place for you. The egg rolls were greasy and burned. The Crab Rangoon was so overcooked the filling had come out and was almost empty. The rice was dried out and the food was horrible. This place has gone downhill. The worst part when I called and told them about the over cooked food they told me they could do nothing. Good bye Chiba Garden. Hello China Dumpster! read more

On Friday I ordered a Bourbon chicken with fried rice, it was awful. The chicken was dried, I ate half and ended up throwing away the other half. The chicken felt like it was cooked and thawed while being cooked, never going back. read more

Food is usually pretty good but they raised their prices astronomically. I stopped going to this business for this reason.

I may have found my go to carry out spot. This is the definition of your hole in the wall carry out. I love how fast the orders are made and how delicious the food is. Tried many places in Tampa but this is the best. Food isn't greasy or oily. It's always fresh. I love coming here for lunch as they have great lunch specials starting at 7.99 with an egg roll and an entree. Personally, I love the sweet and sour chicken. The general Is good and their fried rices are all delicious. Soups are great as well. I love their wonton soup and my girlfriend says they have one of the best egg drop soups. Price wise, freshness, flavor, and overall...just great! read more

China Garden - Sweet And Sour Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I ordered food from here for the first time and was surprised. When I order Chinese food from a new place there's usually a good chance that the food is going to suck in one way or another. I also don't usually write reviews, but in this case I felt compelled. The packaging was secure and sturdy. I ordered crab rangoons and fried pork wontons. Both were cooked perfectly and both came with the right amount of sweet and sour sauce for dipping. The sesame chicken combination platter was cooked equally as well. The chicken was the right consistency. It wasn't overly chewy and it actually felt like I was eating real chicken. Like I said, really impressed. I think I found a new Chinese food place. read more

Very nice people and good prices and food was decent. Fried rice was just yellow rice, but that was our only issue other than quite a long wait for food. We will definitely try it again. I believe they do carry-out only. read more

I've been patronizing this establishment for over 15 years. Always good hot food. Their wings are very go

This was great Chinese food. We had the steamed dumplings, the sauce had a really enjoyable kick to it. The crab Rangoon was delicious but I wish it was the triangle shape instead of the pouch shape because those are easier to eat. The pork fried rice, general tso chicken, and lo mein were great. The homemade iced tea tastes like diabetes so A++. the bones less spare rib tips were a bit too hard however the flavor was still pretty good. read more

I enjoyed the food and tasted fresh and fixed on time. There was a large variety of options and flavors.

I know I know I am starting to sound like a spoiled brat from Jersey, sorry. So we tried this place Sunday. Food was ok not great but ok, We would probably try this place again. We ordered on line and I picked it up. Well there system is a little weird. Even through I ordered on line and paid on line still had to wait. And not because it wasn't ready but because you still have to stand on line. WHat the point of ordering and paying on line if you still have to wait. any way a guess it is a good sign that the place was crowded. Not a big place, small area but they do have parking and defintely no frills. read more

DH and I tried this place tonight based on the fact that they were on our way home from a long trip and took orders online. Well folks, we have a winner! I am so glad that we found some good Chinese food fairly close to home. The lady behind the counter was quick and our order was ready as soon as we walked in and she even paused with a customer she was having some communication issues with to get us our food and out of there. I would give five stars if it wasn't for the location. Granted we picked up after dark, but it was only 6:30p and this is a super shady neighborhood! If DH wasn't with me I wouldn't have stopped let alone gotten out of the car. Maybe it's not so bad in the daylight? read more

Definitely a hole in the wall, but their food is so good that it doesn't matter. This used to be my neighborhood spot until I moved across town. I still drive all the way over here when I want Chinese. read more

My order was ready when I had arrived my chicken wing order was made correct. I asked for them to be cut in half if whole which they did I don't know if they normally serve them cut and my sauce was on the side as I asked now my chicken mei fun was not made correctly but if I wanted it to be regularly made it would have been fine. Reason I gave one less star. But overall good. read more

China Gardens is right near my house, my roommates and I order it frequently. Last time I was in there I couldnt help but notice how incredibly clean the kitchen was. The staff is very friendly, pricing is right, portions are great, and you cant ask for much more out of your local Chinese restaurant. Personally, I prefer this establishment over yummy house! read more

First time here and it was AWESOME! Ordered it to-go and the wait was about 20 minutes because they literally cook everything fresh. We got pork fried dumplings, general tso combination platter, and bourbon chicken combination substitute noodles for rice. Everything was delish- definitely a hidden gem. read more

I LOVE this place and the primary phone order taking lady, up front, is the sweetest individual! My parter and I go at least 2-3 times a month... Great egg drop, amazing Singapore Mei-fun Noodles, and beef (or chicken) and broccoli in garlic sauce... Mmmmm!!! ALWAYS BUSY, primarily take out, one booth table "if" you wish to eat in... but not a great atmosphere for dining... Don't judge a book by its cover, give it a try! read more

I am always a little skeptical of take out Chinese places, but I heard good things about China Gardens from quite a few people in the neighborhood so I decided to give it a whirl. I think I found my new go to Chinese take out spot in the hood! We called and ordered and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes. We hopped in the car and the food finished up just about 2 minutes after we arrived. The portions were heaping and the food was as expected for take out Chinese. I am happy to have found a reliable spot for a quick Chinese meal in Seminole Heights! read more

A pleasant surprise! It's no Yummy House, but it also costs about one-third of what Yummy House does. My beef with broccoli "platter" was cheap, plentiful, and everything seemed relatively fresh. The egg roll that came with the platter actually tasted as though it might have been hand-made... The food was not super greasy, and didn't seem loaded with MSG. I will definitely try China Gardens again! read more

This restaurant is so good. Great Chinese food every time. Hot, fresh and made to order. Everything I have ordered has been so good. Try the steamed dumplings, garlic wings or Singapore noodles. You won't be disappointed. read more

Unfortunately, I did not turn around when I noticed the first health code violation; the front door was propped open for easy access to flies or other insects to enter the restaurant. I understood why they propped the door open when entering because it was about 20 degrees hotter inside than it was outside (95 degrees). And yet, I still ordered two entrees; Mongolian beef and General Tso's tofu. The General Tso sauce was worse than bottled store-bought. I detected zero hoisin in the General Tso, which is one of the main ingredients in the recipe. The Mongolian beef was edible until I found a piece of metal shaving l in it. The metal was likely from a steel scouring pad (image included). There was also a child, who appeared to be under the age of eight, walking around the tiny kitchen and deep fryer area, which is visible from the counter. Taking all this into consideration, there is zero chance of me returning. read more

China Garden - 1/2" piece of metal found in Mongolian beef. - Chinese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is the best takeout Chinese food I have ever had! You wouldnt know it from the appearance but the food is so fresh and delicious!

Very easy to miss this place- as it's in the corner of a rather questionable Kwik Stop shopping center. But, finally ordered food from here last night. I'm now super happy to know that I have a chinese take out place so close! Food was good- generous portions, decent prices. I mean, it's chinese take out. The menu is extensive- and while you can't find this specific one online, it's just like any generic chinese menu you will find. read more

Typical Chinese takeout with 100+ combinations available. They don't have a website, but their menu is identical to every other NY-style Chinese restaurant. While waiting for my food inside the restaurant, I was approached by a poor middle-aged lady who was crying. She asked for money. I'm okay with giving a few bucks to folks who are down on their luck, but I don't think the owners of China Gardens should allow such solicitations in their restaurant. Good thing I didn't give away all of my cash, because when I tried using my Visa to pay for my meal, the guy informed me the restaurant is CASH ONLY. Yikes! Blast from the past. I ordered General Tso's extra extra spicy. Unfortunately, I couldn't really tell that it was spicy at all--definitely not the "extra extra spicy" that I'd specified. The meat was tougher than average. Disappointing. One positive thing--large portions for very cheap. My meal of chicken, rice, and an egg roll was $7.25. I ate a lot of food and still had about half of it left over. Definitely not the cleanest place... but then again, this is on Nebraska Ave so your expectations can't be too high. The prior review noted this place as "super clean." Things have obviously gone downhill over the past two years. (Also true of America... but that's another story.) When the Chinese cravings strike, this boy will continue playing it safe with Pei Wei. read more

I took advice from some of the other reviews on what to order... The bourbon chicken is not amazing as stated. Hard and not flavorful. The dumplings were not to die for as stated. They were Lots of dough and little meat and didn't Taste fully cooked. The fried rice was standard. The eggrolls were delicious. The crab Rangoon was really good as well. The egg drop soup was standard, not bad. Also they don't deliver which was a downfall but due to the good reviews we decided to go with them. I'll stick with the mall Chinese food- cheaper and better. read more

Look, I eat a LOT of Chinese take out. I go to different ones looking for the best. I think I found it. The food here is fresh and full of flavor. I can't believe I past by this little hole in the wall all this time. Other places use a lot of thick sauce and a serious lack of season. The fried rice is clearly overcooked. The same dish tastes different each time. Keep it fresh, authentic, and consistent. read more

I ordered the fried chicken wings with shrimp fried rice. The chicken was not seasoned at all just bland. The shrimp fried rice didn't have that much shrimp in it and no favor. I highly doubt that I come back to this establishment, its very scary at night time. read more
