There was also a robot that now brings out the meals with a pretty obnoxious song that plays as it travels throughout the restaurant. The rest of the food was great though and I was pleasantly surprised with the spicy soup dumplings! It was quite a unique experience as we've never had dumplings with broth in them and the flavor was amazing. It was a little too spicy for my wife but I thought they were phenomenal. The staff here is always very pleasant and the prices for all the dumplings are absolutely fair. The regular entrees aren't really worth it when you could get more for the same price and quality at any Chinese takeout joint. This is somewhere to go for unique dumplings and fun desserts, we will be back!

After another trip, I came through the Glenside Train Station from the airport around dinnertime…read moreand remembered this Asian Bistro was nearby, so I decided to call in an order. The first thing that disappointed me was the no substitution policy. If your meal comes with white rice, you can't substitute fried rice or lo mein. Instead, you have to purchase a separate order, which makes the meal more expensive. I always appreciate restaurants that offer simple substitutions, so this was a downside for me. I ordered the duck, and my son ordered the General Tso's chicken. The food was cooked properly, but overall it lacked flavor. The General Tso's chicken came with very little broccoli, and while the sauce was okay, it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The biggest disappointment was the duck. I've had duck many times before, but this one had a very strong gamey taste that made it difficult to enjoy. The seasoning just wasn't enough to balance the flavor. We also ordered their appetizer sampler, which included a egg roll, crab Rangoon, a beef stick, and a rib. I liked the idea of being able to sample a few different items. The meat was nice and tender, but even those items could have used more seasoning and flavor. On a positive note, the restaurant itself was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I believe they accept reservations, there's a convenient parking lot on the side of the building, and I also believe it's BYOB, which is a nice bonus. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures because I had just gotten back from traveling, was exhausted, and just wanted to pickup food and head home. Overall, we were disappointed. Between the no substitution policy and the lack of flavor in several of the dishes, it's probably not a restaurant we'll be returning to. Everyone's taste is different, but this experience just wasn't for us.

I came here to celebrate Chinese New Year; the Year of the Horse. This is an annual dinner held…read morehere in remembrance of a couple who loved celebrating Chinese New Year and would always come here. I've lived in this community for a long time and have driven past this restaurant countless times, but yesterday was actually my first time dining here. Parking: There is a very small parking lot, so be prepared to park on the street. Since it's also in a residential area, street parking was a little challenging. We ended up parking about a block away and walking. We were seated in a private room and enjoyed several courses from the banquet menu. Drink: creamy espresso martini. It was ok. Hors d'oeuvres your own plate: Lobster shrimp dumplings Taro crab cake Firecracker spring roll with lotus root, shiitake, carrot, and jicama Grilled lemongrass chicken The lobster shrimp dumplings were delicious. The taro crab cake was pretty good as well. The firecracker spring roll was also enjoyable. The grilled lemongrass chicken was my least favorite it had a spice that didn't sit well with my palate. Next course family style which I like: Champagne Maine Lobster Lobster sautéed with shrimp, shiitake, and snow peas served with longevity noodles and ginger scallion sauce. The lobster itself was tender, but I'm not a fan of ginger, so that dish wasn't really for me. Plum Duck: Crispy duck served with broccolini and sweet rice with Chinese sausage. I loved the crispy duck skin, but duck has a strong flavor and I just wasn't in the mood for it. The sweet rice was a bit too sticky for my liking. Pinecone Crispy Seabass: A whole crispy seabass with pineapple, onion, edamame, sweet peppers, and gunpowder sauce. This was my favorite dish of the night. The fish was excellent -- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I even ate the head! Five Spice Braised Short Rib: Slow cooked with sautéed green apple and gai lan served with noodles. The short rib was fall-off-the-bone tender, though I didn't care much for the noodles. We also had pineapple vegetable fried rice with shiitake, basil, tomato, snow peas, carrot, and egg. That was very good -- I paired it with the fish and duck. Dessert single serve: Lunar walnut cake Triple chocolate mousse Mango crème brûlée Fresh berries which were unripe strawberries so I didn't eat them The mango crème brûlée was my favorite dessert. Lightly sweet. Overall, the restaurant serves Chinese cuisine with a French flair. The service was good and the staff was very attentive. I would definitely return to try more dishes and I will absolutely be back for that crispy seabass again.

They have always Had the best food But this time we ordered general Taos chicken and the chicken was hard and old, shrimp egg foo Young, and the usual brown gravy which is what You're supposed to get with shrimp egg for Young, But this time they gave us some other Glazed sauce that I had no idea what it was. After spending $114 for dinner, this was definitely A waste of money. I spoke to SANTIAGO, the only non-Asian in the restaurant on the phone and he told me he was gonna let the owner know how dissatisfied we were. This one's on Sunday. Monday went by I heard nothing. Today I called and spoke to SANTIAGO again and He told me that he told The owner But the owner does Not reply to my calls and does not care about Selling bad food to its customers that's why they're ratings are going downhill fast. King's Garden used to be the very best Chinese food restaurant in the area. How do you go from being the best Chinese food restaurant To the ABSOLUTE WORST I don't know what happened to this place. But I don't care because I'm out of $114. If the owner would've made good on that dinner, maybe I would have gone back, but Obviously he Doesn't care If bad food leaves their kitchen. I WOULD BE CAUTIOUS NEVER TO BUY FROM THIS RESTAURANT EVER AGAIN. WORST CHINESE FOOD EVER!!!!!!!!!! Yelp is asking what could improve? I said going to another Chinese Food restaurant will improve my situation

Ended up having lunch at King's Garden Chinese at the Chestnut Hill Hotel nearby my relative's…read moreRoxborough home, since our cousin visiting from Texas is geared less to spicier and out-of-the-ordinary food. (Note - The adjacent Chestnut Hill Hotel Market was closed.) Beyond sharing an egg roll, ordered a Hot & Sour Soup and their Thai Style Fish. My local relative ordered Tofu with Black Bean Sauce, while our Texas cousin selected Chicken with Cashews. The egg rolls were OK and Hot & Sour Soup standard. My Thai Style Fish was batter-dipped fried fish in basically a gloppy Sweet & Sour Sauce with a little heat added - nothing I've even had close to in a Thai restaurant. The Tofu with Black Bean Sauce was better, but all in all not so remarkable. King's Garden was like basic Chinese food outside Chinatown used to be decades ago, before you could get higher quality and regional-focused Chinese options elsewhere. (Some may say my 3-Stars is generous - but the food wasn't inedible, just "meh" geared to people with muted tastebuds.) My recommendation - opt for the Market, if open, or choose any place (!!!) other than King's Garden to eat.

My friend went over to where the sushi bar is- our server was sitting on the floor cutting another employees nails! How disgusting is that!! when she confronted them they tried to say they didn't know that was wrong! We asked for a manager and were quickly told there wasn't one. There was a young girl at the cash register who just stood there and didn't know what to say. We told her we were not paying and walked out. And to make matters worse, right before all of this, their fire alarm went off and all the employees ran out of the restaurant and left their customers inside. We are saddened because we have been here multiple times, but we will never return!

I've waited in enough lines to spot the pattern. The line is always long. The food is different…read moreevery time. The service moves like it's billing by the hour. Plenty of restaurants struggle with one of those. This place manages all three. This is when I stopped asking why it's so bad and started asking who benefits. Start with the food. A restaurant that lives on repeat customers fixes the food. A restaurant whose numbers don't depend on customers has no reason to. Philadelphia has seen versions of this. In 2026, a pawn shop owner bought stolen goods from thieves for cash, and prosecutors say more than $19 million of it was sold on eBay, and he pleaded guilty in May 2026 to charges that included three counts of money laundering. Now picture a storefront where a long line looks like demand, the till stays full, and nobody asks whether the food explains the money. The slow service is where it gets darker. A 2013 federal indictment alleged a violent extortion racket and illegal gambling operation run out of Philadelphia businesses including a bar, a café, a pizzeria, and coffee shops, where "pizza" was code for a loan and most transactions were in cash. In November 2020, prosecutors unsealed an indictment against 15 defendants, including alleged members and associates of Philadelphia's organized crime family, on racketeering conspiracy, extortion, loansharking, illegal gambling, and drug trafficking charges. So when I'm standing at the counter, nothing is moving, and nobody will say why, I have to wonder what else is being processed at that register, and whether the word "order" means what I think it means. Philadelphia recorded 222 homicides in 2025, the fewest since 1966, and 2026 was running about 25% lower than the same point last year as of early August. Meanwhile, the District Attorney announced charges in July 2026 tied to a fentanyl and cocaine seizure estimated at $6 million. Crime is down, and that is exactly what a well-run operation would want me to believe. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. They may just be bad at service, food prep, and turn around times. This may just be a place where customers take 10-15 minutes a person to serve. I'm a customer with a lot of time to read the news while I wait in line. One star.
