About China Garden

Pickup takeout only

China Garden is a chinese restaurant in Lakeland, Florida. It is listed at 1527 Bartow Rd, Lakeland, FL 33801, which places it among the local businesses of Lakeland that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach China Garden at (863) 687-1988; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, chinagardenlakelandhh.com.

This was my first time to China Garden. Our usual spot nearest us went on vacation. We found this hole in the wall in the Publix plaza we shop in and thought we'd give it a try. I met Mr. Huang, the owner. He was such a very nice fellow. The staff are kind and courteous all greeted me. They took such dedication to making their food. It truly had shown in the quality and taste. We had Beef with garlic sauce with pork fried rice. Pint Hot n Sour Soup Chicken Stick Quart Sweet and sour chicken with white rice Side of extra sweet and sour sauce Side of white rice Quart of General Tso chicken with white rice Side of white rice Quart of orange chicken with white rice Extra side of orange sauce. Side of white rice. Large chicken Lo mein Two spring rolls And Krab rangoon. Mr. Huang and his family were so appreciative that they gave us a free 2 liter bottle of Sprite. We certainly eat here again.

I really wanted to like China Garden, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. First, they got a couple of our orders wrong. I specifically asked for no vegetables in the lo mein β€” a simple request β€” and they put vegetables in it anyway. It's not the end of the world, but when you ask for something clearly and they ignore it, it makes you wonder if they're paying attention at all. The rice was bland β€” no flavor whatsoever, which is a bad sign for any Chinese restaurant. And honestly, it wasn't just the rice. Everything we tried tasted kind of dull and under-seasoned. The dishes lacked that savory, satisfying punch you expect from takeout. The biggest disappointment was the Theo's chicken. It had this weird, strong orange flavor, but not in a sweet-and-sour or tangerine chicken kind of way. It just tasted like someone had squeezed orange juice over it by accident. Completely threw off the dish. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but with messed-up orders, ignored requests, and consistently bland food, I'm not eager to give them another try. There are better options out there.

Nice atmosphere, clean. I got crab Rangoon eggs rolls and spicy shrimp with veggies. Food is out of this world, the crab ragoon. The filling was still hot and so creamy ,the fried rice and the shrimp spicy with vegetables was awesome too. Can’t wait to try something new next time. Thank you

I’m not a huge Chinese food person, but when I do China Garden is normally what I want. Yes, it’s that classic greasy really filling Chinese style takeout, but it’s good, definitely better than your average big Chinese food franchise. Plus, the service is pretty consistently fast. They have a really easy to use online ordering portal- I use to do big groups orders, like 15-17 people through them and they always had everything ready at the exact time I requested it, if not sooner. Their traditional orange chicken is great, and I really like the sweet and sour chicken. I’ve had the shrimp before but it usually comes breaded and is half bread half shrimp which wasn’t the best. The steamed dumplings are fabulous. But most things I’ve tried here have been real good, and they have a huge menu.
