Delicious Garden (New Braunfels)

"Wife, granddaughter and I were the first customers in the restaurant last Sunday. We ordered and after leaving a tip, took our seats as other customers arrived and ordered their meals. My wife and granddaughter were served as well as all the other customers and I sat patiently awaiting my sweet and sour shrimp. Three times servers informed me that my order would soon be provided, but not so. As everyone else completed their meals, I continued to wait and finally told the staff to prepare the meal to go. Another fifteen minutes or so elapsed and they finally placed my meal on the table as they collected the plates from everyone elses tables. I took the cold food home and pitched it in the trash. Hope you're treated better. Second and last time to visit this place."

"As soon as I walked in, I sensed a difference. It seemed there was new owners or management. When we got home with our food, we were very disappointed. Our usual 5 star meal was a 2 star. There was very little chicken in our lomein. We'll be looking for a new favorite Chinese restaurant."

"If I could give this place zero stars I would. I had ordered a delivery at 5 pm under the assumption when the order was placed it would be delivered around 6- 6:30 pm. I was okay with the longer wait in the assumption that it would be here between these times. Here it is 7:20 pm and I had paid overall $10 in delivery fees for my order and $44 total for two dinner plates. I called and spoke to the manager and was told it would be another 15 minutes until my order would be received. At this point I no longer wanted or needed this order as I was making other plans for food. I had then asked for a refund for the order since I have already waited over 2 hours for my food. The manager that I spoke to was very rude and had told me that if I wanted a refund I would need to drive to the restaurant in order to receive this refund. Overall the food and delivery fees are WAY over priced, the wait times are way too long and are NOT accurate and the manager is extremely rude and unprofessional. I would defiantly not recommend this restaurant to anyone."

"They are so nice here. And the food was great I asked for extra spicy general tso chicken and it was delicious"

"I have been on a quest to find some Chinese food that I like the most aside from the buffet. Lets face it, I have to actually drive there and it is next to a tax place so I am reminded of that extension I filed. Anyhow, the good news is that I found a place that is pretty darn good after trying out three others. I have decided that Delicious Garden II will be my final resting point for delivery. As always, I will start with the “As Delivered” and then get right to my thoughts on each item. The quality of the packaging and delivery did not disappoint. Everything was warm and so tightly secured in the bag, the driver would have to be running laps in Nascar to mess it up. Since I ordered a side of Egg Drop Soup (Egg Rolls were included at one per entrée) I am going to tackle them both simultaneously. The Egg Drop soup (my friends fault as she created the idea in my mind) was excellent and by far the best I have tasted in this area from delivery. It was nice and thick, the flavor was fantastic, and most importantly, it was not overly salty. Just a great body to this soup. The Egg Rolls were spot on and I completely enjoyed them with my Low Sodium Soy. Crisp. Flavorful. Held up to the Soy Sauce and I sure did not look back with each bite. The first dish on deck is the “Kung Pao Dragon and Phoenix.” I was not quite sure what was going to be in it, but it sure was good! Shrimp was one of the additions and it was cooked well and added a very nice twist with the Chicken. This was just “flat out” an excellent dish and I was very happy. The spice level was quite nice and for once, someone got it closer to what I wanted/expected without a request. The meat was tender, juicy, and with everything else this is a winning combo. The second dish was Mongolian Beef, and I am quite picky about this one as it is a favorite of mine. While I love the Chinese Restaurants in California, this is the first time that I got to eat this dish here and it had heat to it! Finally!! I can only imagine if I asked for more and I’m smiling about that option. The meat was of good quality, and I didn’t find myself having to put a piece in the trash due to gristle. This meal was a homerun by this cooking crew, and I look forward to having some of the other items off their menu!! Moving along to the rice…no complaints. The Steamed Rice was perfectly tender and moist when it arrived. The much tricker Fried Rice was also well done and not overly oily like the past few that I have had. This was cooked properly and I appreciated that as an option without an additional charge. Right on! My only complaint is that I would have enjoyed just a bit more than a small piece of egg, but I know you are making things in a large batch so not much fault there. I ate it and enjoyed it! Final Thoughts: This restaurant was the last one on the road when it came to who would be the place I went to for Chinese Delivery. Nothing against the restaurant; they were closed when I wanted to order so that is on me. The reality here is this: Out of four, this is the best one, and I am happy to give them five stars as I not only had a quality meal, but my stomach was not overtaken by oil. These folks do a great job and if you’re looking for something that you are more used to like the small places we get food from in Cali, I would aim your compass in this direction. Well done Delicious Garden II. Well done."
