Chinese Garden Restaurant

My wife and I recent ate here on a recommendation from a friend. It was well worth it. This is one of those hidden treasures that you find out about from friends. The atmosphere was very pleasing as we walked in and the waitress greeted us right away and showed us to our table. we ordered and the food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. It was hot, fresh and very delicious. The waitress came to our table several times checking on us and refilled our drinks before we got to the bottom of the glass. Great place to take the family or that someone special. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get as well.

Chinese food the Way Americans like it. Quantity is far above quality or a hint of imagination. If you want 'Chimerican' food like you grew up on, it's pretty good

Delicious food, huge portions, and amazingly friendly staff. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and this place brings me right back to that time period. It has the authentic look and feel you'd expect when entering a Chinese restaurant in mainstream America. The staff are very fun and friendly. They make you feel right at home. This is by far the best spot​ in all of Longview to enjoy a meal with family and friends; or just by yourself. My fiance loves this place too! Check it out. 😉

Decent location, clean restaurant, staff was very nice (the staff is the best part of the whole restaurant). We came here because it was rated one of the highest restaurants in the area, especially for Chinese food. Unfortunately, the food didn't really do it for us. That's not to say that it was bad -- it was just very different, and not our kind of different. The General Chicken was extremely tangy. My wife also commented on another dish -- and she was wondering if it was soaked in vinegar to give it more of that tangy taste. Don't get me wrong -- I ate plenty of the General Chicken, but the flavor just isn't what I like or expect from General Chicken. So... it wasn't bad, but just wasn't good either. The worst part about their menu is they seem to be VERY inflexible on "substitutions." We're not big pork fans. And, unless you really like shoving pork, pork, pork , pork, pork, down your pie-hole, you might want to consider a different location. They had pork in just about everything... port in the Hot and Sour soup... pork in the rice... shoot, even the kids' menu was riddled with pork as EVERYTHING had pork as a main ingredient except for the one vegetarian dish. We just ordered other food for the kids. On the lunch menu just about every dish comes with BBQ Pork. Sorry, but not interested. For my General Chicken dish I asked if I could have chicken fried rice instead of the pork fried rice. I was told "no." So... I guess they pre-make this huge vat of BBQ Pork and Pork Fried Rice, so that's what they push on everyone or include in every meal. So, because of the 'different' taste of the food, which we weren't huge fans of, and the fact that pork seems to be in everything, and we're not pork fans, and they don't allow substitutions... it knocks a couple starts off the rating for us. Obviously, our opinion of the place is not in the majority, as it has pretty high ratings. Then again, they seem to rate everything pretty high in this area.
