Time to bid this place farewell after 20+ years. Unprofessional and overall quality and experience went downhill. Unwilling to fix their mistakes. Not worth it anymore. There are too many Chinese restaurants to deal with this. Bye Lius garden read more

Probably one of the better chinese spots in the area because most of them arent even edible. Their food seems consistently decent. The wings are very good. So far no complaints about this chinese spot. read more

I've been a customer of this location for 25 years. Ever since COVID, the quality and service just hasn't been the same. They changed their moo shu pancakes and now they're almost like tortillas - not the best. Additionally, they have a difficult time quoting accurate wait times. For example, on thanksgiving eve, I was quoted 25 minutes and ended up waiting over an hour for my food to be ready (being that it was the night before thanksgiving, I was willing to wait - just wish I had an accurate wait time so I wasn't waiting AT the store). Tonight, it's the same thing. I door dashed and expected a longer wait time given the holiday but my dasher has been waiting for my order for almost 20 minutes. I know they have a help wanted sign and they're doing their best but it would be really appreciated if they could respect our time and give us accurate wait times. read more

Not sure what happened! We've been going to this restaurant for years. Wonton soup was beef broth served with stale supermarket noodles. Egg roll not good either. Also my order was for egg drop soup. This might be the last time i go here. read more

The food was good and the service was nice. I can tell they were generally good people and wanted to serve quality food.

Still going strong, the best Chinese take out in our area. Been a customer for 15 plus years. The food is always fresh and if you have a dietary need or food allergy just tell them. The people who work here are hardworking and really great. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. We get take out 1-2 times a week here. * read my prior review as nothing has changed. Consistent business. read more

Liu's Garden is my go-to Chinese spot while I'm at work. I usually order from here once a week and have never been disappointed. Almost always order the chicken with broccoli and pork fried rice. read more

I have ordered from them 3 years ago. Was not a huge fan of their general Tso chicken. Today we tried them again. Food was fresh. I used online ordering to make it easier and avoid confusion. It was a lot of food for the price. Definitely worth a try. Not sure why people are salty about their reviews. read more

One of the best take out places in the area. Food is consistently good. Been a customer for many years. Have an allergy no problem as they really work with you. read more

This place is horrific . The lady who works there just assumes I don't understand what they were saying and started making comments about my body to the chefs in the back in Chinese ( which I speak) and on top of that combined my fiancé's rice with mine together and had a whole argument over rice. This place is absolutely ridiculous. I don't recommend it . read more

If I didn't know better I would say this restaurant is under new ownership, as the quality is not what it once was. Sesame Chicken was basically fried coating without chicken. Person answering phone doesn't understand you and vice versa. Since this has happened a few times already we won't be back. read more

Extremely rude. I just witnessed one of the cooks turn down an elderly lady because she did not make the 10 dollar limit on her debit card. Do yourself a favor and go to Salernos next door at least you will be treated like a human being. read more

Located in a very small strip mall. Decent amount of parking spaces and it can get busy during lunch hours. The place itself is pretty small with a few booths if you want to eat in. Both times I've been there, I've gotten take out. The food is good. Flavorful and tasty. The fried rice with the lunch and dinner specials were good. Place is cheap too. For lunch, my co worker and I paid $12.04. Can't beat that. read more

I have been eating here for years. They are so accommodating and will go the extra yard to prepare your food just the way you want it. The owners are always there and are great people. One of the best take out (and the do have booths to stay) in the area. Check out the lunch specials. Can't recommend enough. read more

Liu's Garden Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Hazlet, New Jersey

Worst customer service ever. EVER. The food is good but God help you if it's dinner time because you'll NEVER eat. 1.75 hours and no food. "It's on the way" is their schtick and we finally got them to admit it legit just left their restaurant. I would've picked it up if they wouldn't be shady and liars. On top of that they said "hold on" and talked crap about me and gave ME an attitude. Drive to j&p in matawan or first wok in keyport. These people suck. read more

Folks, please avoid this chinese restaurant. I ordered sauteed vegetables for my son and there was a dead roache inside my son's food. I informed the front desk girl and she said it might've come from outside. The lack of responsibility is immoral and unethical. These are things you would least expect from a respectable business. This is discerning that an establishment would divert the issue and the consumer would ingest it and they do not care about the consumer because their concern is the bottom line. read more

Foods good, I think I would give more stars if they didn't constantly mess up my order. I always ask kung po chicken no peanuts and brown rice; somehow they always give me the order with peanuts and fried rice. One time we ordered a dish that says it comes with steam rice, we opened the bag no rice so we go back and tell the lady and she tried to charge us....WHAT. Needless to say I didn't pay for the rice because I paid for it with my meal, but that's crazy. read more

Order Bean Curd w. Garlic sauce and vegetables. We'll picked it up and no vegetables and dry. Called and the person on the phone was nasty. When I told her we always get the same dish and this is the first time it came without vegetables and sauce she kept asking "well how do you want it?'' I told her how you always make it. She kept arguing with me and then told me she can make some vegetables and she can deliver it in an hour. Total discusted with the with the customer service. I will never go there again and would not recommend this place at all read more

The worst Chinese food I have ever had hands down. I place my order an egg roll and wonton soup pork fried rice and beef with extra spicy curry sick so it took over an hour which was fine with me for the delivery. The food was absolutely disgusting. How can you mess up an egg roll or simple dish like wonton soup. They did not even give me one drop of soy sauce or hot mustard even though I requested extra. To avoid the horrible indigestion I am suffering now please go somewhere else for Chinese food this place was awful it was my first time and it will be my last time I will ever order from here read more

I live within walking distance but would rather drive 5 miles away to a different takeout place instead. Last time I ordered, the dumplings were so big and doughy that I could have played baseball with them. Wonton broth was stroke-inducing salty, and the food was so shiny from all the MSG that I think it might have glowed in the dark. I don't have anything against MSG, but I shouldn't need to wear sunglasses to eat Chinese good. read more

Delivery was prompt soup was delicious. Fortune cookie was good and was in English. Would order here again.

Reliably decent Chinese-American food at reasonable prices. There aren't many dishes here that you haven't seen a thousand times before, but the kitchen is competent enough to make them tasty, and the ingredients are almost always fresh. The dining room is cafeteria-style, with a few paper lanterns and framed Chinese prints. I've never had a problem with the folks who run Liu's Garden, other than to note that they're not outwardly friendly (no big deal to me). There's adequate parking in their lot. read more

This place was our fave go-to for great Chinese take-out for many years but lately it has been bad more times than good. Disappointing.

When entering Liu's you are transported into the 80's, but you don't mind because you are just there to pick up Chinese for a reasonable price. They hand you a bag which seems so heavy it must be the wrong order. They assure you that it is yours and the eating challenge begins. read more

The food is good, but was just overcharged and treated horribly. Check the bill- you're probably being charged something different.

I've been going here since the first day they opened back in '95. If there's one word to describe them in that time period, its consistent! They are reliably consistent in what they make! Its not the best chinese food in the world, but for an inexpensive take out chinese place, its def serves its purpose. Their lunch or dinner combos are a great bargain! And after years of fighting it, they take credit cards now. read more

Waiting for my takeout food as I write this. My family and I have been ordering takeout from this place for more than 20 years. To me, they truly know how to make the best wonton soup! Same goes for the dumplings. I'll continue to only get Chinese food from this place. Looking forward to some good food on this cool Halloween Eve! read more

Super greasy and found a piece of meat in my vegetarian dish. Only positive thing I have to say about this restaurant is that they use fresh broccoli. Definitely threw away the menu when I got home and will not be returning. read more

Food is mediocre at its best. I give them a chance every year or so and they are consistent....consistently eh. They don't use the freshest quality ingredients, not too friendly. read more

Not bad chinese food - on the level with an average one out of NYC. General Tso's and Sesame chicken very reliably made. Nothing mind-blowing but still good for an area that otherwise is rather devoid of good delivery food. read more

Always great food with great flavor. The best take out in the area. Worth the drive even though there are three other Chinese takeout places that are closer to us. Never disappoints. read more

I finally found a decent Chinese food joint in the area. We ordered from here the other day after an off putting experience at another place. We had beef with snow peas (good), chicken with vegetable (good), beef lo mein (decent), steamed dumplings (great), and egg rolls (good). The prices are very reasonable and the food was overall above average. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Best Chinese around these parts. Can't go wrong with their pork fried rice, Lo mein or chicken and vegetable. Reliable delivery in under 40 minutes and they've never messed up my order in about a dozen deliveries. read more

Took a while to deliver. Food wasn't very good, bland. Got two fortune cookies, mine was crushed and had a bad fortune and the other cookie had a fortune in Spanish. Strange. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

This place has the best pork dumplings.. They're quick and the food is not too greasy as far as Chinese food goes.

This is by far some of the best Chinese food out there. I found Liu's garden the night I moved into my new place 4 years ago and they delivered. My order was at my door in about 20-25 min it was hot fresh & delicious. I have ordered many times in my 4 years here & have never been disappointed by the food or the employees. read more

One of the good Chinese food places. I order online and always had a good response from them

I ordered for pickup and they told me 20 minutes, so I got there about 20 minutes after ordered. I waited for an hour. Meat was dry and over cooked. I won't be back. read more

Ugh this place. Bad service and the place does not have air conditioning so you're dying waiting for your food. The food doesn't taste as good as other Chinese food I've had around here. Better off going to the one next to Planet Fitness and Kmart on 35. read more

Decent at best. Worst hot and sour soup I've ever had. The tofu was over cooked, didn't even know that was possible. The vegetables were way over done and squishy. The broth was way too thin. Just don't order it. read more
