This has been one my favorite for many years. They moved to a new location and looks like going to be pretty nice inside once Covid is gone. Take out is good and fresh every time. read more

Rose gardens food is very good, I've had their General Choa's Chicken, fried rice, chow mein, and more. I've never had any issues with any of their food. Price wise it is priced pretty much what you would expect to pay, portion wise for take out you get more than plenty, they are very generous. I've never eaten in the restaurant but friends of mine have and they say the service and portions are very good. read more

After spending an hour trying to call the Blaine location and the coon Rapids location I finally got off my butt and drove over there. Once I got to the Blaine location it said were closed due to shortage had to coon Rapids so I drove the 10 minutes over there and the sign on the door says they are closed permanently!! Why would you have me drive an extra 20 minute round-trip if you're closed for good. Take the sign off your door, update the website and for goodness sake's get a voicemail saying we're closed!!! What a waste! I spent all this time trying to surprise my fiancé for our anniversary since this is his favorite restaurant and it ruined the night completely. read more

Had a very good meal with a friend as our guest so I was glad to have a good experience.Plenty of varieties and attentive staff.Large dining area with good distance between the tables which means a lot to me.Will definitely be back. read more

If you really love Pad Thai, do not order it here. Note to the Rose Garden chef. Chicken Pad Thai without the heat, chopped peanuts, peanut sauce and lime spritz is just flavorless chicken and noodles. read more

Food was very good. First time there and service was very good. Everything was very clean

Why is it that food become less when take out vs dives-in? The price are the same but the portion are totally different? This is not fair that you get charge for the same amount but get less food when take out? When I say less food I meant like half of the food isn't there! read more

This has got to be one of the most overrated restaurants in the area. I'm not sure what they're known for, maybe I buy the filler items on the menu, and maybe I'm not getting what they're good at making. But holy cow the sesame chicken is god awful. Like my my god!!!!!!!!!!! It's bad! It's like one huge lump of batter, tempura? And I kid you not, about 15% of each piece is chicken, the rest is bland bland bland fried batter. They then give a cup of what they call sesame sauce I guess, well it's a bad sweet and sour sauce with sesame seeds in it. It was shockingly bad. Years ago I got pepper steak, and it straight up smelled like an ashtray, couldn't finish it. If you like lo mein, don't get theirs cause it's thin spaghetti noodles with scant flavor. I did get steak with onions and it was good, being that there aren't many options for Asian in this area Ill probably order the steak again. The house egg rolls were good. Another thing that bothers me is I order two entrees and only receive one small white rice. It should be standard a small white rice for each entree. Oh well. The inside of the building has been renovated though and is nice. read more

Rose Garden - The two red lines are pointing to slivers of chicken, the rest is breading. It's awful. So called sesame chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Really good egg rolls. The fried rice is great also if they cook it fresh. New location is bigger and fancier.

Love Rose Garden! They have the best cream cheese wontons of any Chinese restaurant I've been to ever!

There egg foo young was amazing, it is a little out of our way but definitely worth the drive and the price was reasonable

Food was average, and the selection was limited. Service was good, but the food options ruined the experience. The lunch menu items that people typically go to these buffets for were an additional expense, and the regular buffet is $15/person read more

Doesn't look like much of a restaurant when you drive by but this hole in the wall has some very tasty food. The lunch buffet runs from 11-2pm and only cost 7.99 (cash only). Unfortunately, we went on a day that didn't serve the sesame seed chicken. How the buffet works to my knowledge is they rotate 3 or 4 of their main dishes in throughout the week. (Sweet/sour pork, spicy beef, cashew chicken and steak and onion were the four being served when I went). So if you want something specific and don't plan on calling to order takeout I would call ahead and see if they are serving it that day on the buffet line. Lo mein and rice were excellent. read more

the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten! spent $97. and was so disappointed! The cashew chicken had huge chunks of celery and hardly any cashews and the sauce was disgusting! also orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken huge pieces of chicken not cooked through and horrible taste! I could stomach the fried rice but not the pork or chicken meat in them! just so upset for even trying it again but it had been years so gave them a chance! our go to Chinese is new mandarin but no answer last night sadly. we won't be back here ever!!! read more

This isn't your typical Chinese buffet and it certainly was a nice change of pace. This is a small restaurant, no room for any giant buffet tables, so they bring the buffet to you! While we were dinning around noon for their $7.95 lunch deal, two employees roamed the dinning room offering up various dishes to everyone. They loaded up your plate with appetizers, fried rice and a variety of main course dishes. We had Lo Mein, chicken & broccoli, beef and onions, chicken almond ding, pork dishes and plenty more. Give them a shot to try something new for a change and get served instead of serving yourself at the buffet! read more

Great new location and nice renovation to a large space. Comfortable chairs. Fun to try this kind of buffet where they bring the food to you. Nice and hot. Food was mediocre (very salty) and had to wait a while before something I wanted came by and was offered. Servers were working their butts off and it was very busy. We sat on the edge and were forgotten a few times with main entrees. Maybe they could have some main entrees set up at a small serve yourself station so you could come get them yourselves if you were really hungry or rushed. read more

You need to pay in check or cash but, for the amazing lo mein they make, I would pay in gold sterling. Small and cozy, the food is beyond any expectation I had. I've had a lot of Chinese food around the twin cities and this was incredible. They also gave us cream cheese wontons at no extra charge and the ice they use is crushed ice (I like good crushed ice). Will be back!! read more

I love this place! They moved from a "hole in the wall" and built a very nice restaurant! While their prices changed to reflect that, I've never had a bad meal here. Their service is great, they have a full bar, it's kept very clean, and it's a place I want to go again and again. read more

Two weeks ago I was purposely short-changed by a young woman with long hair. Rose Garden only accepts cash. Maybe that's so they can short-change customers who don't count their change. The young woman did NOT make a mistake. She knew exactly how to short-change a customer. I bought an order of fried rice for $4.95. I gave her $20. She gave me 1 $5 bill, two $1.00 bills and 15 cents change. I don't count my change when I'm in a hurry. So customers- COUNT YOUR CHANGE at Rose Garden. I won't eat there or buy food again. There's another Chinese restaurant two block away on Coon Rapids Blvd. David Sekhon Coon Rapids, MN read more

Nothing super exciting about the food at Rosegarden. Easy to order, easy to pick up, nice employees. The food is reasonably priced, however, it lacks flavor. I would order from here again only if I was in a pinch to feed a group. read more

We heard good things about this place but was extremely dissatisfied. Ordered Chicken Chow mien and Sesame seed chicken. The Chow mien had like no chicken in it. There was a ground up substance laying on the top which possibly could've been Chicken. The Sesame chicken was like chicken nuggets with no sauce on it or even on the side. We called them back and they wanted us to come back and pick up the sauce. We ran back and got it. By the time we got home everything was cold and the sauce was very sweet and orangish tasting. There was not one iota of heat. I am sure it was the wrong sauce. On top of that we only got a pint of rice for a quart of Chow Mien and an order of Sesame Chicken. The chow mien had no flavor either. It was so disappointing. On top of all that the Manager was indifferent and they really didn't care. Beware!! Paula J read more

When Rose Garden used to have two locations years ago, it was great. Over the years they got very expensive, and consolidated into this new location. The ambiance is pretty good. However, Parking is terrible. They maybe have enough parking spots for 1/3 of their tables. Prices are very high. Probably to pay for the gimmicky food robot they have taking food from the kitchen to the tables. I ordered house lo Mein with extra meat. No extra meat was included. In fact they just dumped a pile of lo Mein noodles on my plate and then put all the good stuff on top to make it look like there was more meat. Very little flavor. House egg rolls are extremely greasy. You need to ask for extra napkins to wrap these things up and try and sponge off the tons of fryer oil on them. Service was not that good. The egg rolls should have come out first, but instead, my dinner came out right away, and 5-10 minutes later the other persons dinner and all of our egg rolls came out. Took forever to get a to go box and our checks. For a house lo Mein and one order (2) house egg rolls, and just water to drink, my bill was $29. Ridiculous for what we got. Not going back. read more

Rose Garden: an "it is what it is" inexpensive lunch buffet with decent food. It's got the basics, so don't expect anything crazy like hibachi, sushi, or a massive array of deserts like those dedicated mega-buffets. Would I return? Maybe under just the right circumstances, like if I was really hungry and I was very close. But I have to confess that the lingering vision I have of this place is when I looked over and saw an employee making eye contact with me... and her index finger was 2 knuckles deep into her nostril. read more

It's true, it really is as good as it gets. I've never been to a buffet where they bring the food to you. You never have to go get your own food. Everything was hot and flavorful in each individual dish..... Very tasty. I will definitely recommend Rose Garden to everyone. I will positively go back again... read more

The best American-style Chinese food in the North of Twin Cities. This is the place that my bf uses as a standard to compare with other Asian places. He has been eating the food here for more than 10 years, so he's a die-hard fan, and now im also a fan. It's an absolute family-owned-and-operated restaurant. The owner, his wife, and sometimes his brother manage the front .. serving, and taking dine-in and to-go orders. We've tried number of dishes, and everything tastes good. Their lunch buffet is well worth the visit. Their buffet style is different than other places that ive been to. They dont have buffet station, but they make each big bowl of food fresh, walk to each table and serve the food, so everything is always extra fresh and hot from the wok. read more

I didn't even make it in the front door before getting ticked off, the parking is terrible and then on top of that I almost got rear ended by some idiot. Upon entering the building I am greeted by a rather obnoxious handwritten sign "cash or check ONLY" - in this day and age who the heck carries either one around with them??? (especially when it's just a whim to stop here). I step inside the door to ask if that sign includes debit cards the girl behind the counter gives me a rotten look and says yes that's "ALL" cards, no credit, no debit no nothing except cash and check. As I turn to leave I say "well I guess you just lost two customers here" (me and my husband had planned on getting dinner here) and the response from the girl behind the counter in a really snotty rude voice "SORRRYYY". We will not be back. read more

Upon walking in the cooks were snapping green beans on a table in the dinning area, with lots of empty boxes strewn on the floor. Why I staied to order I'm not sure. Oh yea, I was starving and someone recommended the place. The food was decently priced which was nice, it would have been better if everything didn't taste like cinnamon. I'm guessing maybe a container was spilled into my order or something. I like cinnamon but not on my chicken. I will not return for a second visit. read more

Let me start by saying, I eat a TON of Chinese food! Like I'm pretty sure in a previous life I was Chinese. I think it's in my DNA. Rose Garden is pretty darn good Chinese. I really like their lo mein, although it is a thinner noodle. Their house egg rolls are PHENOMENAL, and their Mongolian beef is spicy & tasty. Fried rice is just okay though. Only other issue is that sometimes, their chopped veggies are too big. Should be cut in half again, but the portion sizes are huge! One other note, it's cash or check only. read more

My favorite Chinese place by far. If all they served here was chicken fried rice, it would still be worth going to once a week! It's a small place and doesn't look like much, but don't be fooled. I've never eaten anything here I didn't like, and neither has anyone I've brought with me. The price-to-portion ratio can't be beat! Don't forget about the lunch buffet (every day except Sunday)... the place is too small for a formal buffet table set up so the staff just walks around to the tables. The food comes to you, and it's amazing, what more could you ask for? oh yeah, and the buffet is cheap. There are only two downsides 1) Cash or check only 2) cans of pop instead of bottomless-fountain style (but it's a hole-in-the-wall Chinese place so what where you expecting? This really isn't a downside, but worth mentioning) read more

Roughly $10 for a tasty, rotating, family style dining experience. In other words, you sit down at a table and the servers will bring by different platters of food to you every 3-4 minutes. There are about 6 or 7 types of platters you can say yes or no to, and you can choose to stop at any point. You pay up at the counter. When I was there around noon on a Thursday, it was very busy. I definitely was not expecting that, especially with its quaint appearance from Coon Rapids Blvd, but this just tells me people like this place and must go back to it! read more

The best food ever! The staff, especially Ginger, makes my day every time we eat there. Friendly and clean.

I'm fortunate enough to work near this place, and this past week was the first week in the 5 months I've had the job that I didn't go here for lunch at least once. The food is good, some of the dishes have too much celery, guess what you can eat around it. I don't care for celery, but I do eat some of it. Everything is good, even the shrimp, and I don't eat shellfish normally. But the chicken friend rice and the steak and onions are so good that I would eat just them. Service is also great. 2 things that kind of suck; parking is terrible and they only take cash or check. read more

I heard good things about this place, I was disappointed. The lunch buffet(where they bring out and scoop you different dishes) was very cheaply priced. And I liked how they served the lunch buffet. But I didn't care for the food. It was kinda mystery meat looking. The vegetables seemed fresh, so that part was good. I won't be back, but I might try their location in Blaine and see if it's better. read more

Hands down the most delicious and freshest Chinese food in Coon Rapids and the northwest suburbs! The only thing I wish is that they would except credit card and delivery was available. read more

This was our very favorite Asian mom and pop restaurant. The only place we could get good fried rice. A few years back they changed the rice - no msg?- to something dry and bland but there was still a good amount of other tasty dishes. Now they changed their batter on the sweet and sour items - it is WAY too thick and covers the flavor of the meat. PLEASE stop making changes. You had a good thing going. read more

Been going to this place since I was in high school and it's never failed me. Great food and service, good portion sizes and I eat a LOT lol. Definitely recommend dining in and also take out too if it's your first time. If you like your food spicy, let them know in advance. read more

My favorite place to eat. I have been going here for 14 years. When I started going there always a place to eat. The place is packed anymore during the lunch buffet. The price on the lunch Buffet has always been fair and offers some of their best foods. The big thing that throws people off is the buffet is not a hot table they have sitting out it is "family" style. They come out with a bowl of the different foods and serve you directly on the plate. Some people like this some don't. I love the hot food that I know hasn't been sitting for a while. I now travel about 50 minutes one way at least once a month to get a buffet to go. Another great option if you don't want just one thing at a reasonable price. read more

This place is beyond amazing. Seated with water a plate and a fork, within seconds I had food, which was some of the best I've had. The wontons are sweet, the pad Thai is flavorful and the fried rice is better than some I've had. Definitely a unique "buffet". And I'll be going back since it's so close to home. read more

Yummy. I like pork fried rice, fried cheese wonton, and sesami chicken. volume also good amount! read more

We are so happy to have finally found a decent Chinese food place around our house. Big portions and great prices at a little, family-run, restaurant. It reminds us of places we loved when we lived in Saint Paul. It's a tiny place so seating is rough--for take out though, it's great! They do have a small parking lot, so, you might have to walk a bit. (NO worse than eating downtown--here you don't have to pay to park like downtown, anyway.) They only take cash or check though--so, make sure to stop at the ATM along the way. read more
