China Garden - Hartford

The food was absolutely delicious, we can't wait to order again! We've lived near Hartford for 33 years and I don't know why we never tried it!

Last 2 times we tried calling for take out on the weekend they never answered the phone so we had to go elsewhere.

We have been going there for many years. The food and service have fluctuated, but for the past 5 years or so, the food was great, and kept us coming back. Tonight must have been an off night. It was a Sunday after 5. The soup and rice were barely warm. The rest was ok, but not their usual. The egg foo young was NOT in patty form like it is at other times and anywhere else you go. It was also burned. The hot and sour soup tasted like vinegar. I'm sure we'll be back, but this time a bit disappointed.

Our food was so dry today 33.00 and couldn't eat it.. Nov 1st 2023 sad. They normally do good.

I’ve known the owners for many years. I taught their children in elementary school.They were always very generous and kind, and when I did a unit on Japan, they offered menus, placemats, and chopsticks for the students to use. And I’m talking two hundred students not 20!They give it to the community and the schools and are very hard-working. I know that during Covid things might have gotten quite crazy for everyone especially those in food service. I think sometimes customers are extremely rude and have a difficult time with anyone they come into contact with. And because they had a less than fabulous experience, they blame it on the restaurants or whatever business staff because they are not able to take responsibility for their own rudeness. It’s sad, but it’s becoming more and more familiar in our society. People blaming others for their own miss guided and difficult behavior, and impatience .I am so happy the China Garden made it through Covid! So many restaurants didn’t. And if the dining room isn’t open yet, I hope it opens sometime soon. My son insists on going to China Garden at least once every time he comes into town. It’s homemade, it’s not a franchise where everything comes premade, prepackaged, and easy to prepare. All they have to do is microwave it! So, of course it’s going to come out faster!. I’d rather wait and have the fresh, chopped, vegetables and homemade recipes like they have at China Garden.Best wishes for the future and continued success of The China Garden and its hardworking, dedicated, owners and staff! and no, I’m not related in anyway, I just seen that some people have not been fair in their reviews. Maybe they’re thinking of a different restaurant I don’t know, give it a try and make your own decisions.! ?
