Nice quiet place. Always good to see variety in a small town. The family favorites are the Fried Dumplings (made from scratch) and the pork egg rolls. Unlike a lot of surrounding Chinese places in nearby towns, you actually taste the differences in sauces from dish to dish. I love the Mongolian Beef and the Orange Beef has slivers of orange peel added so you get a bit of bitter with all the sweet sauce. Also, this place doesn't appear to be a buffet anymore. Full menu items with lunch specials under $5. Skip the foot longs and go for a big meal. read more

See all

Not sure which was worse, the food or the service... Lo mein and egg roll not good. Very disappointing.

Love this place for Chinese food! The best in RF! Lots of options and price is appropriate.

They have the BEST lo mein. I drive from St Paul just for their lo mein. I can't get take out anywhere else because it doesn't compare. I'm not sure how they do it. read more

A good three. Not greasy AT ALL! but seriously, this is third generation locals. But still cheap as a mofo! The egg roll that comes with the combo dinner? LITERALLY only cabbage in the egg roll. Not even a whiff of seasoning or flavor. WORST EGG ROLL IVE EVER HAD! Even from a generic Midwest pseudo Chinese restaurant... They did have the standard menu though. If you've EVER eaten at any Chinese restaurant in the Midwest, remember shrimp, beef, pork and beef. Remember chop suey ( lol!) chow mein crappy fried rice. Not greasy though. So, I'll give it that. Will make a t**d... read more

Food was good and quick but customer service was terrible and just rude and just overall not apelling

Song Garden had been our go-to place for several years for Chinese, and then we stopped going, due to quality issues. We recently decided to try them again, and what a difference 5 years made! We ordered pork fried rice, egg rolls, a combo of roast pork with Chinese vegetables, curried chicken and either sesame or orange chicken. (We forgot which we ordered.) Everything was great! The roast pork was the most tender and flavorful we've ever had, and all of the vegetables were high quality and generously provided. None of the "sea of celery in a mountain of gelatinized sauce" you often get at other places. The chicken in the curried chicken was super tender, and the breading in the sesame/orange chicken was thin, and didn't dominate the pieces. And, the sesame/orange chicken had a good sesame flavor, along with bright spots of what appeared to be orange/kumquat peel. (I suspect kumquat, due to it's being a bit sour.) The place is the same, dark and somewhat dismal place it's always been, but the young woman who waited on us at their Covid setup inside was very friendly and nice, even though her English was fairly limited. Despite the surroundings, we used to eat there and will no doubt again, once things open up again and are safe. In the meantime, we're definitely going to be ordering their craveable, quality food again and again! read more

Eat in at Song Garden a few times and "rude lady" will become your friend. I have always enjoyed eating and getting take out from Song Garden. Their Sesame Chicken is great and get a side of chicken wings. The interactions with the owners son, Cory, are always fun and memorable. read more

Sounds Garden is your typical small town Chinese restaurant. They have your typical Chinese buffet items without much imagination or surprises. The food has always been good and prepared the way it should be. They do have a small buffet for lunch but I prefer China Moon's. Sometime the people that take phone orders can be a little bit hard to understand but they seem to get the orders right. read more

Song Garden Chinese Buffet - the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - River Falls, Wisconsin

I went here years ago with my mother and I remember that, for whatever reason, she didn't like it. Regardless, I moved into town and my housemates said it was really good food! So, 8 years later, I went down and ordered myself chicken egg foo young, chicken fried rice, and chicken lo mein. The child (seriously, a teenage boy) who checked me out was very rude when I purchased my items. However, it was really affordable and cheap! I was excited!!! Then I got home. I opened up the food, after bicycling from my apartment a mile away to the restaurant and back, and was... surprised. The egg foo young was DRENCHED in some kind of gross looking, smelling, and tasting gravy. Unappetizing. I didn't even dare to eat it. The lo mein was... okay. Flavorless, however. The fried rice was literally the exact same except WORSE than the rest of the chicken fried rices from this area. Definitely prepackaged. The chicken in all three were super chewy and disgusting. I couldn't finish it. The one thing they didn't mess up was the white rice. Thank goodness. Still, I wanted to throw up after eating. My wonderfully WISE housemate said that I should really go back and ask for my money returned. I brought the food and we drove down. The place, like before, smelled of old grease with an undercurrent of cleaning product. I spoke to the owner and the boy from before and explained what was wrong. I was thankful that they returned some of my money to me (I didn't bring two of the items since they were thrown away, so that was somewhat understandable), but I still feel sick to my stomach two hours after eating. If you are looking for cheap food for cheap prices with a chance of food poisoning, this is the place for you. I don't know how people think this place is good. GO TO CHINA MOON. They're not great, but it's ONE HUNDRED times better than this place. Save your body. read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat in town! The food is always good. We have never experienced any issues with service.

wow ,again on a hunt for some good food .how do you say not my cup of tea, food was bland ,no taste , just mix of garden ,noodles dry , rice stuck to gather .quality was not there. stay with panda express ! read more

For a small town Chinese restaurant this place is pretty good.

The food here will get you by in a pinch if you are stuck in River Falls and craving chinese. The woman who works up front taking people's orders is EXTREMELY rude. On more than one occasion I have had to deal with her, and she seems to get worse every time I go back. I probably would have given them 3 stars if it weren't for her poor attitude. I just picked up a lunch special today, in fact, and the won ton soup was missing. She did end up getting it for me after about 10 minutes. This was after barking at me to buy more when I told her I was paying by debit card. Apparently you have to spend $7 if you aren't paying with cash, which would be fine if maybe they posted a sign, or, I don't know, didn't scream at you like you were an unruly child because you weren't aware of their non-posted policy. I won't be going here again. I'm currently pregnant, so if I have another craving for chinese takeout I'll just get in the car and drive to Hudson or Woodbury. It will be worth it to avoid this monster of a woman. read more

We were really hoping to love this place, but won't be coming back. The menu was too confusing, everything was itemized rather than offering traditional meals. Service was poor, atmosphere wasn't great. However we were surprised at how decent the food was. Great wantons and egg rolls.... P.s (not a buffet) as we were led to believe by Apple maps. read more

Food is great and service is fast. The women who works there is super rude and cranky.

Best Chinese food ever! You cannot find better fresher ingredient's anywhere! They have great Chicken Lomein, the good red sweet and sour sauce, their General Tso chicken is fantastic and they actually have real cream cheese wontons not the ones with chives in them or the crab rangoons! We drove 15 miles to pick up our order to go, it is the only place I will go! read more

I've eaten here several times and loved it. This last time is enough to get me to never go back. We order the lunch special which comes with entree, wonton, fried rice and soup. The rice tasted like dish soap, the beef was mushy and disgusting and we never received the soup and wontons. We even asked for them and the woman said she's go make them but never came back. When we asked for our money back the woman refused and said all she could so was give us the soup and wonton. After asking again for our money back she said no, walked to the kitchen and never returned. Save your money. This has changed. So, so gross. I wouldn't even give this place a half star. read more

I love their food. They are fast and affordable, but the woman who works there is very cranky. She almost never smiles and is rude when you are calling in your order. read more

It's uninspiring, but tolerable. Nothing about it is unique, service is "eh" food is hit or miss, and it has the environment of a junior high cafeteria. It's the best Chinese in town, but thank god Riverfalls isn't known for its Chinese restaurants. Wouldn't recommend. read more

you need someone else answering phone someone not so cranky and rude an knows how to say combination plates not say what you want when I said what I want lost my business .. read more

My wife and I get take-out Thursday night dinner here every week, and really enjoy it. I also take visitors to lunch here from time to time. Have gotten to know the people fairly well. Tipping helps establish a good relationship. The "rude" lady other reviewers refer to has never been anything but cordial to me. She really brightened up because I knew how to say "thank you" in Chinese. read more

Food was good and quick. Like the other reviews, the place smells of old building but that doe not affect the quality.

Like many of the others here, my negative experience has to do with a rude woman who "helped" me. I've eaten here many times and have always enjoyed it. I typically go during lunch and have always been met by a man who was very helpful and nice. This was the first and last time I've gone for dinner. I asked if I could sub out a wonton for an egg roll with my dinner since I have allergies. She said yes many times. Then it came time to pay and she started telling me it was added on to the meal and after going back and forth with her, I just said to leave it as it comes. After paying for my food, I waited and when it was ready she came back and (and after sitting on the phone clearly talking about me to someone on the other end), said "okay bye." And walked back to the kitchen. Very disappointed. read more
