China Garden - Swansboro

I believe I have found the worse restaurant in nc. Stale. Horrible. Food. But they are proud of it cause it cost way too much. Restaurant when walk in has a bad old smell. The entire experience was horrible. If food would have been good wouldn’t have written anything. One person. 16.00 threw all away.

I can’t do more than three stars with any Chinese restaurant around here because it is nothing like the quality and taste of the Chinese food from up north. Some dishes here at China garden isn’t bad but I started going to other locations because their pricing has gotten ridiculous. 3 to 4 dollar difference from other locations and some dishes at other locations are better tasting. I notice the dishes here have gotten bland and almost tasteless. They are also getting skimpy with the meats. When I get shrimp and broccoli here I get three shrimp sometimes only two. That’s pathetic! Other places I’ll get 8 to 10 and it’s cheaper! Chicken and broccoli has little bits and shredded pieces of chicken. At least I think it was chicken. This place was a steady Chinese food location for me but no more. Thanks for going up on your prices. Maybe you have your reasons, but I have mine. They messed up my last order also. I asked for beef teriyaki or beef on a stick I think they call it. She repeats my order and says terriaki chicken. I corrected her and said no no not chicken. Beef! Beef on a stick. I still get chicken!! If you let them know they messed they get upset and not apologetic at all. She will yell out into the kitchen like that will satisfy me but I don’t get an apology at all. No offer to correct this or maybe a replacement. lol. Typical. The Chinese lady at the counter is rude and absolutely miserable. I hope she sees this post and realizes she has a problem because I read the same issue on many other reviews about the grumpy rude miserable Chinese lady at the counter. If you don’t like it here in America go back to China. I just checked many reviews after I wrote this post and noticed soooo many people complaining about how rude the Chinese lady at the counter was. I mean I couldn’t believe the amount is complaints. I do hope someone there realizes she is ruining this business. She needs to sell out and retire maybe? Maybe she is going through some stuff??

I eat here every time I'm in the area. Not many Chinese restaurants serve sauteed sliced pork anymore. Not very crowded when I'm there.

You know it's a good and affordable Chinese restaurant when the total review is mid 3 stars!!!

Delicious good. still offer real sit down, more than just order takeout and eat it there.
