Here you will find a restaurant with the taste of gardens, as befitting the name of the…read moreestablishment. Website: 9/10 It has the motif of the bamboo plants in the background, giving the website a taste of East Asian aesthetics without overwhelming the eyes. It is easy to navigate and brings you to a menu with a large selection of dishes organized into specific categories. They even have a chili pepper icon beside the spicy ones. However, none of the menu items have images showing what they are. Brand: 6/10 The interior gave Garden Taste an underwhelming environment. The sign outside looked faded, while the menu items above the counter had various degrees of outage. I will say that the counter had Lego sets functioning as holders for basic utilities, made by the staff's daughter. There was also I presume a play area in one of the corners of the establishment. So, I can see how the establishment has accommodations for children. As a Chinese restaurant, it does fit the aesthetics of showcasing Chinese New Year in a variety of party favors and signs. Ambiance: 7/10 For a small, Chinese restaurant, it definitely had enough space for a handful of tables. It does have the potential to get noisy during the near-noon rush. The tables also have marks, though nothing too dirty. The condiments and plastic utensils are always in abundance. Service: 10/10 The staff patiently asked me specific questions about the meal, whether I wanted white rice or fried rice, of if I wanted chopped sticks or a fork. She also helped me pronounce the name of my order, the Moo Goo Gai Pan, when I drew a blank. Wait Time: 10/10 Our meals came in time without delay or interruptions. Food: 10/10 I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan with white rice. It steamed throughout the time I ate, yet did not cause a major problem with every bite. The plastic container practically captured the heat and steamed the entire dish. The meal presented itself in a tightly compacted container. None of the ingredients needlessly poured out. The earthy smell of Moo Goo Gai Pan perfectly represented the standard of East Asian cuisine. I never had Moo Goo Gai Pan, but I can say that this dish made a good first impression on me. The sauce particularly the hearty taste that made the soft, leathery chicken and vegetables easy to eat, with the mushrooms helping to bring much of that earthy taste. The rice complemented the dish to provide sturdiness. The abundance of vegetables helps make the dish very filling. The aftertaste stayed with me in a positive way. There are plenty of menu items organized differently on the menu pamphlet so as to ensure that you are not confused about what to get. Worth The Money?: 7/10 I can definitely say that Garden Taste is not that difference from any Chinese restaurant in terms of the bare-minimum aesthetics while also having a large selection of menu items. With those being said, I can see potential in this establishment evolving with time. While the ambiance did not work in its favor, the food definitely outweighed any serious grievances I may have. I would suggest that Garden Taste make itself more distinguishable as a Chinese restaurant. Chinese culture is not monolithic, since a lot of Chinese restaurants are specifically Cantonese-based, including this one. Americans generally know very little about China, or even the difference between Han Chinese and Cantonese cuisine. I do not know if the possibility exists to emphasize those differences in the menu. Furthermore, if the establishment were to continue to use the kid-friendly aesthetics as exhibited in the interior, then perhaps they could reflect the brand as a whole in the form of bubbly letters and bright colors. I would not say this as a serious recommendation, rather as a way of making Garden Taste Chinese Restaurant stand out as a unique Chinese restaurant. Finally, I would suggest that each of the menu items on the website have an image accompanying the name so people know what to get. Rating: 4/5 Stars I had a pleasant experience with Garden Taste and I got to try a new dish without too much trouble. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a Chinese meal while they are traveling through Ramtown.

In Howell Plaza, you will find this Chinese restaurant waiting for customers. Upon realizing that…read morethey did not open on Tuesdays, I decided to return at another time. Brand: 5/5 Howell Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant located in Howell Plaza in Howell Township, and specifically serves Szechuan and Cantonese cuisines, which I appreciate. I really like the logo of Howell Kitchen with the leaping fish. The outdoor sign itself gets to the point with its name and Chinese characters. Inside, the grand wall art invites you with its realistic detail, and the wooden tiles give the establishment an authentic feel. Website: 5/5 It has a pretty good design, with a first impression that easily captures any curious passersby, a gallery of the menu items, and an option to scroll down smoothly. I do like the section that shows quotes from famous cooks. Most of the items on the menu have their own images. Wait Time: 5/5 I experienced no delays or issues while waiting for my order. I finished half of a page of fiction writing when my order arrived. Ambiance: 5/5 The establishment had no music, and it really did not need it. The machines in the kitchen gave off a strange, soothing cadence, making me think they already had music. I especially liked my booth, since it felt as though I sat within an establishment within an establishment, with the decorative wall art, the comfortable seats, and the large table. Despite the small space, the interior uses as much space as it allows with that booth being an example. As for the menu selection, you have a large array of options of Chinese cuisine. Food: 5/5 I ordered the Shrimp Egg Foo Young with sides of white rice and sauce. Every part of the meal had a well-prepared steam. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young had good texture along with the vegetables, even if it became difficult to cut with a plastic fork. While I could barely taste the shrimp, I could definitely taste the eggs and the vegetables. On their own they have an overall, unassuming taste, but dipped in the sauce and it has a pizza-like taste. I tried to use the sauce on the white rice as well, along with the complementary soy sauce, which definitely made the rice more savory and softer. Service: 5/5 I had no issues with the staff, whether it came to my order or the overall service. Cost: 5/5 Howell Kitchen manages to maintain a steady brand when it pertains to their food. Americans typically don't know about the distinct cultural identities throughout China, so I appreciate Howell Kitchen for specifying that they serve Szechuan and Cantonese cuisines. They look especially exquisite on their website menu, almost enticing anyone to place an order immediately. The wait time it took to prepare the Shrimp Egg Foo Young definitely matched the quality of the dish, since clearly the staff care deeply about the food they make and the establishment. The ambiance immersed me into the dining experience, and it did not try my patience while waiting for the order. Based on my first experience, I will say that it matched the standard appearance of a Chinese restaurant, with a tiny space and a view of the cooking process. However, what stood out was getting to sit nearby the painting, as though I became immersed into the landscape. The ambiance finds its way into the website as well. In order to enhance the Chinese cuisine within the website, my personal suggestion is to add quotes about Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine from throughout Chinese history. When I take into account the Shrimp Egg Foo Young, the rice, the sauce, the experience, and the effort to travel to Howell Plaza, I will definitely say that the price was worth it, and I got to introduce myself to a new dish. Rating: 5/5 Stars I enjoyed my experience in Howell Kitchen and I have hope that it will continue to represent Howell Plaza. I would consider it my first choice the next time I arrive at the plaza. Recommend To... Anyone nearby the plaza looking for Chinese food.

In fact some of the fried food gives you heartburn probably because they don't replace the frying oils until it's totally burned. Their soup taste more like water than a soup.

My son and his friends recently visited but realized they couldn't pay because Apple Pay wasn't accepted. As they were about to leave, the owner called them back in, served them a full meal with drinks, and refused to take a dime. The kindness and generosity shown left such a lasting impression on them--it's not every day you see a business treat people like family. Beyond their incredible hospitality, the food here has always been phenomenal. Every time we've dined in or ordered takeout, it's been top-notch.
