China Garden

Food great
Service is quick
Very good for its price

Got to town for the first night of our four day mini vaca in Monterey and found the China Garden just down the street from our hotel. The place is pretty big with plenty of nice sized booths and tables, and set up nicely with a variety or Asian decor. The hostess/waitress was friendly and attentive and sat us quickly, gave us menus and asked for our drink order. The menu was pretty diverse with plenty to chose from, so if you like Chinese food at all you should be able to find something you'll like. Everything from the appetizer to the fortune cookie at the end was pretty good and we enjoyed our visit to China Garden

We love this place and have been going there for many years. It just gets better! Service is great. Food is awesome and fresh.

Foods was very tasty original taste really recommend it

This place deserves a 5-star! Our party was seated right away for Saturday dinner and the owner was kind and extremely hospitable throughout the entire meal. We ordered plenty of food and all the dishes came out very quickly and with generous portion. Food quality and taste were spot-on, better than many other Chinese places in SF and with much better prices. We recommend the Salt & Pepper Spareribs, Orange Chicken, and the Garlic Spinach.

First of all, I just wanna say one word!!
🔥Fire 🔥 ...
Every time we vacation in Monterey, ca. This is the spot where we get our bestest Chinese food..
Honestly, u need to try both the sweet and sour chicken or pork. u won't regret it 😋
The house chowmein has shrimp, chicken veggies 😋 again 🔥fire!!..
The chicken wings are fresh and so delish.. We also love the beef fried rice 😝. Remember to request plates and forks and soy sauce ..
The cashier was so friendly and welcomed us with a greeting and a big 😀 smile..We will return 😀..

Found this place when our first choice was already closed. Decor is a bit well worn, but very clean. Our server was disinfecting tables when we walked in. Our server was very nice. Food came out VERY quick! Like fresh out the wok in five minutes quick. Food was good, but not outstanding for the price.

0.5 stars extra for the amazing service and the wonderful servers! We came here around 6:30 pm on a Sat evening. Pretty empty so got seated immediately.

The server had several recommendations when we asked and we ended up going with some of her favorites. We got the kung Pao shrimp, the twice baked pork, chicken chow mein and the crab meat and cheese puffs.

Food was served very quickly, and was pipping hot! The puffs were very good, I love mine with the schezwan sauce but also liked to have them with the duck sauce they provided. We asked for the shrimp to be made extra spicy. I loved the extra spicy but it did overpower the other flavors in the dish. Should've stuck to regular spice. The pork was very good, and I are quite a bit of it. I was really full by the time I got to the chow mein so I only had a taste and it was good too!! We couldn't finish so we've boxed it up and plan to eat it on our journey back home.

The tea was excellent and very soothing. This was a good meal but the highlight was the friendly staffers and their quick service. Impressed!!
