This is a really amazing, hole-in-the-wall Chinese place. The last time I had Chinese food this good, it was in the Bay Area, and it was quite pricy. Five stars all the way! read more

What a surprise! A great Chinese Restaurant in a tiny town in South Dakota. We were treated excellent and even given extra items to try that we didn't order. We ordered a dinner for 2 people but left with 3 to go boxes as there was so much food. Great food quality and friendly staff. read more

While visiting family here in town, and being from San Francisco, where we have numerous Chinese restaurants, we wanted to try Chinese food for dinner. We decided to eat at Chinese Garden. When our large group entered the restaurant, the female owner was very accommodating, and friendly. She suggested buffet, and entrees for our large group. Service was prompt, and to my pleasant surprise, the food was very good and tasty. The chow mien, sesame chicken, and broccoli chicken were of good quality, especially for the price of the entrees. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Who woulda thunk?! This little hole in wall has amazing fresh, hot food. The owner is great and literally will keep dumping food on your plate. Great service. The little buffet only has like 4 entrees and sides such as fried wontons, egg rolls, etc...BUT all fresh, tasty and nothing sits. Good value and TONS of food. She is worth the visit all by herself!! read more

I had heard great things about Chinese Garden and finally gave it a try while staying in town for work! Super glad I did, it was amazing! The Mongolian Steak was tender and super duper delicious! I will be going back next time I'm in town!! read more

The Chinese Garden is not what you would expect to find in a town of 1400 people on the Dakota Plains. The Crab Puffs were fresh, light and tasty, actually better then any I have had in my neighborhood in New York. Lunch is served buffet style with small portion on the steam table and a meal can be had for $10.00 or less. So after going to the Petrified Wood Park and the Grand River Museum head to the Chinese Garden in downtown Lemmon. read more

We were there on a Saturday night and there is no buffet. Had combos of cashew shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. There was a lot of food and tasty. $20 for the two of us. Good value and the staff was very friendly. The décor is a bit out dated but the food made up for it. read more

Yes it was a buffet but every dish that came hot and fresh from the kitchen was offered at our table side before it hit the buffet line. These folks bend over backwards to keep you happy. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about but that's not why we go out to eat dinner when were working on the road. Every dish offered was fresh and very tasty. Very reasonable prices as well. Lemmon South Dakota, you are very lucky to have this wonderful little restaurant! read more

owners are wonderful people some of the best authentic Chinese food I've had in a long time to bad they are in such a small town or they could have major franchise ability. read more
