The FoodThe long menu boasts impeccable English, but this by no means is a sign of muddy, Americanized Chinese food. The kitchen staff concocts fragrant and artfully arranged dishes, like fried cinnamon chicken with steamed sticky rice or braised prawns with tomato and ginger sauce. Served as an appetizer or as an entree, one of the most savory dishes is the deep-fried spareribs with spicy salt, lent flavor by a mound of sliced chilies, scallions, and ginger. Quickly wokked heads-on shrimp, beef with tender greens, and velvety soft tofu, brought in daily from San Francisco, also share a huge…

Awesome food

Must go place, but food is pricey for what you get. It's more about the experience!
Terrible service
by jrichardson3 at Citysearch
My wife and I met my adult kids for dinner at this establishment following the graduation of my daughter from the local university. The person who greeted us just pointed to where our table was and said something about "they were that way", not bothering to seat us. Service was slow; the graduation girl did not get her order, and no apology was offered after this pointed out. No one checked on us to find out how our meal was or if we needed refills of our drinks. This was without a doubt the worst dining experience I have ever had.
Rubbery Chicken - mediocre for the Price
by F123 at Citysearch
If you get take out the chicken is so rubbery it is ridiculous, and at the prices they charge it should be much better. Also for second time, the sauce from Szechuan Chicken leaked through the bottom of the paper bag. I let them know, and they said, well what do you want me to do about it? No apologies, at all.
I've been here and if you eat in it is a bit better. The only thing I did not care for was I was having a business lunch with a friend, and the waiter was at our table every three minutes, so it was difficult to finish a sentence without being constantly interupted.
After the third experience with rubbery chicken and slightly over priced menu, especially for mediocre quality, I won't be going back. there are too many great restaurants out there that perform much better.
Great food...Great Service!
by StanfordGal at Citysearch
I've been living here for years, looking for a great Chinese restaurant and I've finally found the place.
Not only do they have great food, but I have never experienced such great service at a Chinese restaurant before. The matre d at the desk was extremely friendly and accomodating.
My friend and I ordered the Mu-shu chicken, which we both really enjoyed - I would highly recommend this dish.
We also ordered a beef dish that was too spicy for the both of us (we prefer milder food). When we explained to the waiter that we'd like to order another dish because it was too spicy, he actually just took it off the menu and exchanged it for something milder. We never expected them to do that. While we would not take advantage of that, it was great customer service!! He recommended that we express our spice preference when we order, something we will remember to do next time.
Instead we ordered the orange-peel chicken, another delight that I would strongly recommend.
For the great food and AMAZING service, I would give this restaurant 5 stars and recommend it to everyone!

best place for chinese food
by watermelon1 at Citysearch
this is a wonderful place, the food was great, i have been there for many many times. the prices are reasonable and i really enjoy the time that i was eating over there. i love this place, the service was great. after i eat over there, i can't go to other restaurants because they did not have the taste. whenever i go out and eat, Huan garden is the place that i usually go and i think they are the best in the town. one day that i saw a large group eating over there like around fifty or sixty, i was thinking that was so great that next time i can have my birthday party over there too! if you need to find out a chinese restaurant, i definately recommend this one. oh, if you have more than five people, it is a good idea that you should call them up and make a reservation.
