China Garden has been a a go-to border crossing Chinese food staple for generations. It still has that mid 20th century flair for decor and the food unforgettable. A super selection of dishes. All of the ones I've tried so far have been delicious and unlike any other Chinese restaurants I've tried in the past. Always friendly service here and I've done a few over and back take out trips just to get at this food.

Had better Chinese food, but gave it 4 stars because the girl at the front desk taking my order was super nice and friendly and the food came fast as well.

Had the #1. It's 12$. You get what you pay for: No chicken in either the fried rice or the chow mein (soggy greens). The riblets are ok. The egg rolls are good: A few people come in just for those.
