The lady was so sweet. Not usual when we go out to Asian. My husband said the hot and sour soup was ok. Nothing to tight home about. He had beef with vegetables and the sauce was not good. We ordered pork pot stickers and they were delish. My husband had fried rice on the lunch menu and it was awful. I chose the pork fried rice. Now I am picky so I pulled peas out but the rice was a ten. read more

If I had to choose the best Chinese in the area I'd have to go with this place. 2/3 times it's been great. We get the egg rolls, general Taos, sweet and sour chicken but the best is their vegetable lo mein which is amazing! read more

Super friend and really cute inside. Wasn't a fan of their egg drop soup, was really thin and not full. The crab Rangoon was thick and cream! read more

Gourmet Garden Chinese Restaurant - Egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

I am sorry but the food was simply not good. Soup with little flavor. Egg roll with little flavor and no dipping sauce. I wondered if the pork in the sweet and sour pork came prebreaded from a freezer and why the red sauce and vegetables were skimpy. Too bad, it would be nice to find a good Chinese restaurant near here. read more

I'm Gluten Free and they were the only Chinese place around that actually offers BREADED (GF Breaded) chicken!!! They use corn starch instead and you can make almost any choice Gluten Free. It's some of the best Chinese chicken I've had, other than making it myself at home. I HIGHLY recommend this place. They also give good portions for what you pay and the staff is so friendly. Needless to say, I was a regular until I moved out of state last year, but I recommend this place still to this day and I miss it. Wish other places did this. And if you sit inside, the decor and unique artwork is interesting to see as well! If you're looking for a down-to-earth, out of the way place to eat some Gluten Free Chinese food, this is it. I would travel at least an hour to go get it. Just wish I was still within that distance but I think 4.5 hours is too far sadly read more

We had take out on Tuesday. So good! Our son treated us. My husband and I had sweet and sour shrimp. My son had the sweet and sour chicken and my daughter in-law had the Moo Shu Chicken. The three fingers came with an egg roll. We all had left overs for the next day! Yummy! read more

I ordered the pork lo mein on a snowy Monday afternoon. It was delicious and warmed me right up. The service was friendly and attentive. If I'm in Howell again, I will come back! read more

Ordered delivery the first time we ate here, so can't comment on the restaurant. Service: Lady who delivered the food was nice and pleasant. The food arrived maybe 10 minutes past the estimated time of 45 minutes so be prepared to wait a while. We were somewhat expecting this anyways. Food: Crab rangoon - this was good with crisp wonton wrapper, good amount of cream cheese with pieces of chopped imitation crab you can see when you bite into it. Flavor was good but nothing out of the ordinary. They give a small container of a sweet and sour orange dipping sauce. Fried Potstickers - I didn't try it, but my husband really loved them. They looked homemade with homemade wrapper etc, by the way they were wrapped, but maybe a little too thick wrapper dough. Almond Chicken - a bit disappointed with the quality of this. We're used to having a nice thicker chunk of juicy chicken breast and a very crispy batter. The flavor was good, but batter got a bit soggy and chicken was thin. Really liked the sauce that went with this. A light brown savory gravy. The egg fried rice that came with this wasn't up to par. I didn't even think it had egg or any extra veggie in it. I didn't taste it and my DH was disappointed by the flavor. Shrimp and broccoli - I think I was expecting bigger shrimp to come with this, but at least the flavor was good. The shrimp were a little larger than quarter sized to give you an idea. The sauce was a nice brown sauce, probably the same one they use for beef and broccoli. I really liked the savory flavor and not sweet like some other places, but next time I'd get beef instead of shrimp. I got this with steamed brown rice. For these lunch specials, both of us chose egg drop soup (you have a choice of wonton soup, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, or a fried eggroll as the side). This was the worst egg drop soup I have ever tasted. I'm not one to throw away food, but I couldn't stomach eating the rest after 2 spoonfuls. It looked like any other chinese restaurant egg drop soup with the bright yellow color and ribbons of egg, but the flavor was bland and watery with a fishy/crabby aftertaste to it. I'm Asian so I'm used to fishy tasting dishes, but this was fishy in a bad way. Maybe try some of the other options. I'm giving 4 (really 3.8) stars for now because this place has some decent items but not entirely fresh or out of the ordinary but better than most for flavor here in Brighton. read more

Trying a new restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by how nice and friendly the staff was, food was hot and delicious and served with a smile! Love this place! read more

We have been going here since they opened in 1998. Reliable and excellent food and the service always comes with big smiles! Can't beat a family owned business vs those chain Chinese places. read more

This was our first attempt at finding Chinese in Brighton, unfortunately it was a bust. I will say that the staff was friendly and it sounds like they have delivery here which are definite pluses but the food itself wasn't up to our expectations. It seems like it's harder and harder to find the Chinese food of my childhood with great egg rolls, a crispy fry on good meat and sauces that are separate and distinct. My theory is that the families who came here and began restaurants have passed the baton to their kids, which likely don't have the same special touch or pride in their recipes as the first generation. That's just my theory. We ordered their sweet and sour chicken dinner with Wonton soup, an egg roll and white rice. We also wanted to try their spring rolls and crab Rangoon as an app. I ordered their Hunan Chicken with white rice. The spring rolls were OK but weren't quite right, at least from what we're accustomed to. The egg roll was about the same. The crab Rangoon were very lightly filled but tasted pretty good. The sweet and sour chicken had a gummy batter that was lightly fried and the chicken was a little tough. The chicken in my Hunan was also tough and some of it too tough to chew. My wife's dinner came with rice but they didn't give me any extra rice to go with my meal. Lastly, the Wonton soup was not great. The dumplings fell apart and didn't have much filling while the broth was less green onion/chicken flavored and more wash water tasting, sorry to say. Instead of the standard green onions floating in the broth there was lettuce, which was grim at best. $30 for the two entrees and two apps is about on par with our experiences coming from Ferndale but the food wasn't up to par. So onto the next spot. read more

This has been my go-to place for Chinese cuisine in Brighton for many years. They are doing a wonderful job during the shutdown of in person dining for restaurants. For take out at lunch, everything is neatly separated in plastic containers. By the way, their hot and sour soup is some of the best I have ever had. The food overall is far better than the fastfood Asian restaurants. Call and pick up in 15 minutes. read more

Gourmet Garden Chinese Restaurant - Lunch shrimp w/ garlic sauce, hot & sour soup - Chinese Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

This was a pleasant surprise. This is hidden back by Best Buy. It was really clean (no dead flies on the window sills). This food was delicious and the portions just right. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I thought it was strange the we came into a nice sit down dinner to be served everything in to go containers. However this could be because of COVID-19. read more

FAST delivery and decent takeout with generous protein portions. Delivery was at my door in 10 minutes, and my chicken with broccoli was packed with chicken. The food is definitely on the greasy and salty side but not bad for takeout. I would suggest asking them to go light on the soy/salt and oil. read more

The most tasteless, bland Chinese food I have ever had, they can't make the most basic like fried rice and noodle dishes without tasting like mush! read more

We have been customers here both dine in and take (like in the next few minutes!). I have never been disappointed in food or service. My wife and I both consider their hot and sour soup our standards. Want to try something not on the menu? Ask for Jim's hot and sour noodle dish. How do I know? I'm the "Jim". read more

Very disappointing, first off my sesame chicken looked like long snake like pieces of "meat". It's was very tough and chewy. The sauce was more sweet and sour than the sesame sauce I'm use to having at my FAVORITE Chinese Restaurant, DRAGON COURT in Hamburg. I will never return to this awful place. I had to stop eating it because it was gross and threw my leftovers in the trash! Don't eat here read more

There is no way I am going to take pictures and let you in on this gem of a Chinese Restaurant in Brighton. why? Because of limited seating I want to be able to walk up and get seated quickly! Okay so I took some pics for you. I have ordered carry from here, but tonight, my family and I braved the COVID elements and ordered a dine in meal. I am partial to hot and sour soup but since my daughter wanted to split an appetizer I reluctantly agreed and was she RIGHt! (Darn) we were served delicious Crab Rangoon. A staple but we opted for their crab meat and chicken soup! Wow!!!! I've never heard of this soup before. With chicken, crab meat, Water chestnuts, peas, and other delights this was outstanding! My wife ordered the Sweet and Sour chicken dinner combo. The piece of chicken was superior in flavor when I compare other restaurants. Here is the kicker, my daughter ordered the stuffed eggplant chef special stuffed with shrimp! Savory!!!! I ordered the Sizzling Sea Food of shrimp, lobster, scallops and clams. Grand Slam!! Seriously I've eaten here prior to the pandemic, tonight was their BEST FOOD ever! Bravo! In Chinese, How!!!!!!!!!!! Psst ! they served good portions of sticky rice making it fun for me to use chop sticks! I am coming back. Remember, you didn't read or see this review, I am selfish and I love this place!!! So I want no crowds when I return! May Good Fortune truly come your way as we are in this together! read more

My least favorite Chinese in the area, and I have tried it twice. I got sesame chicken the first time, and orange chicken the second time. The wonton soup was decent, but the chicken for both dishes was extremely over cooked and the rice was bland. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Our crab Rangoon was clearly re-fried and old. Not to mention the black hair in mine (were both blonde ). Our egg drop soup is green, and also tastes old. We got take out so there isn't much we can do now except chose to go elsewhere from now on. read more

This was awful. Ordered orange chicken combo. Chicken was way over deep dyed to the point it was hard as a rock. Sent it back and got general chicken. It was was better. Fried rice and egg rolls Blane. No meat in either. Wife had almond boneless chicken and said it was the worse she had ever had. Won't be back here!!. read more

The noodles than you put in your soup are stale. The egg roll while hot was greasy as well as doughy. We haven't got our meal yet. I will keep my chopsticks crossed that dinner will be better, but not having much faith in it. My husband had the hot and spicy chicken and it left a burn nut lacked flavor. I had the almond boneless chicken which had a brown gravy, not the gelatinous yellow one I prefer. It too lacked flavor and had too much flour in the gravy. All in all not my favorite Chinese restaurant. read more

Can't beat this place for the price. I'm sure people mainly get take out here as you can usually shoot a cannon in the place and not hurt anyone. It basically a fast food Chinese restaurant, but priced very well for what you get. I used to live in Ann Arbor and went to the other locations they had there. I find the fried rice to always be very good and the kids like it too. The spicy dishes are not very spicy so ask for extra spicy. read more

I love this place. People are friendly nice and very hospitable. Food is Hot fresh and taste out of this world..... love this place
