China Garden Restaurant 1332 Hilltop Road, St. Joseph, MI 49085

"It's very popular place so it's probably good to others. Certianly edible. I don't like Chinese food so hence the low rating. I only can get one thing and I liked the vegetable fried rice better at the benton harbor Chinese restaurant. They are not affiliated with each other."

"I ordered two lunch specials and pan fried pot stickers. Lunch special 1: General Tso chicken - I wasn’t expecting the chicken to be breaded but sometimes places do things differently. It had a mildew musty taste that was so bad I didn’t even eat it. It tasted like it was old/expired/not good to eat. The rice that wasn’t touching the chicken or sauce was fine enough but I had to throw out the majority of the food. Lunch special 2: Mongolian beef this was better taste wise but it was nothing like Mongolian beef that one would be accustomed to. Very few pieces of meat and mostly veggies in the container but fine enough to eat unlike the other meal we ordered but nothing I would ever spend money on again. Pan fried pot stickers: These were good, definitely worth ordering more so than anything else we tried. Moral of the story - this place is mediocre at best, and the dumplings are the saving grace. I would have given 3 starts if my meal didn’t taste like old moldy musty food."

"Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 2/5. My overall rating for China Garden Restaurant is 3 out of 5. I believe my perspective is compared to Chicago, as the portions were bigger, the fried rice was fried and had color, and main dishes had more meat. The fried chicken wings were extremely good! The rice lacked seasoning but was good overall. Large portions appeared small, and the expense was expensive. The service is usually good, as they are kind! The atmosphere is blah, as dine in isn't happening. All in all, if you want Chinese food, China Garden Restaurant can be a great settlement."

"They stopped putting meat in their meat dishes. I can't be the only one who noticed this. This has been going on for months. They upped their prices, makes sense because of inflation, but are still cheating people. Food has been never been mind blowing, just convenient . Below photo, pepper steak combo- mostly peppers and onion. A few tiny peices of beef mixed in. 10 bucks, waste of money."
