The owner is as friendly as a badger and has the personality of a vending machine.
Knowing that the Maple Garden was a to go only restaurant, I had to have a plan. You can't drive from Jenks to Broken Arrow and expect the General Tso's chicken to be eatable. It will be nothing but a soggy mess. Across Elm St., directly east of the Maple Garden is Jenks' very nice Veterans Park. The park has restrooms and covered picnic tables. A perfect place to enjoy lunch on this oddly warm November day. And that is what we did. We grabbed our sack of food and in five minutes we were enjoying lunch in Veterans Park!
Since this is a to-go only restaurant, no service is expected. I will be fair, only rating the quality and taste of the food. And...It was good. I had General Tso's combo meal. It comes with a good eggroll. Crispy fried white meat chicken in an excellent, slightly tart, savory sauce. My wife went with the Chicken Lo Mein. Also, very good. The portions were large. These were the now and later sized servings of food that you expect from a Chinese restaurant.
The food is much more pleasant than the experience of interacting with the owner. My advice... call your order in and you can keep your interaction to a minimum.
Like I said, there is no dinning in......Who the hell would want to. read more
