The lemon chicken is to die for--it is lightly sauteed and the lemon sauce is very subtle--not like the sweet and sour sauce that other Chinese restaurants serve. Wonderful food!
My favorite place to go for lunch! The food is phenomenal and the prices totally reflect the quality and quantity of food! The owners and waitstaff are wonderful!
The pan fried pork dumplings, egg rolls, Lemon Chicken, and the Hunan Shrimp were incredible here. We will definitely come back soon!

As soon as I saw the yung chou chow mein, I dragged my family here. Our food plans fit right in with our visit to downtown Houston. See, my parents’ friends used to make this dish in my little hometown, but since they’ve retired, no one has filled this hole until China Garden. We had lemon chicken, yung Chou chow mein, wonton soup, mixed vegetables, HUGE and delicious egg rolls, and the ice cream pie for dessert! Oh they threw in some wonderful hush puppies as well. I wish I had extra stomachs. My family and I were in LOVE!!
For those reviewers griping about this isn’t authentic, you must not have grown up true Cantonese. What you’ve been eating is no longer whole Cantonese fare at other restaurants, even in Chinatown (yes, SF included). Most Asian restaurants serving dim sum and other dishes are mixed now with a Taiwanese or other Asian flair. So don’t knock this place.
We met the owners. Carol is so nice and easy to talk to. Gwen on the staff is fantastic. Their parents created a beautiful legacy that this family is continuing.
Check it out. You won’t be disappointed!!
2023:
We returned late July. Carol recognized us as soon as we walked in the door!! We had the delicious egg rolls again as well as their famous lemon chicken, Yung Chow chow mein, and more!
This time we added to our connections when we talked even more with the family, Cameron and Richard. All owners of the restaurant and absolutely fantastic!
They’re such a sweet family, which makes the visit a delight and complete.
Get to know them. You won’t be disappointed at all.
Was greeted by elderly man who happened to be very hardworking
Was all the time busy with his chores.
Gave us a table whose chairs were not properly arranged
Ordered soup but wasn’t explained the price clearly had to ask twice
Soup was flavorful and wholesome.
The beef chow main was very tender and tasty.
Noodles were perfect
Then ordered lemon chicken which was bland and not hot. It tasted not seasoned.
Service was efficient but not friendly enough.
Bill was brought before we were halfway into the food.
The place was getting busy.
Spring roll was okay
The food was magnificent! Hand rolled home made egg rolls were fabulous! Kung Pao Chicken and Fried Rice is top notch! Chicken and Vegetables was delicious! Shrimp and Lobster Sauce rich and very filling! The dining room looks virtually unchanged through the years. Put it on your list of places to dine!
Saw article in the Houston Chronicle that they were the best Chinese food in town, I disagree with that, but it was pretty good. The egg rolls were very good, sweet and sour pork was fine, but I do not recommend the Shrimp Egg Fu Young, it was very bland. The wonton soup was very good, hot and sour soup was good. Seating was exceptionally comfortable.
This is a great place, especially for vegetarian options. I come here often (I'm vegetarian), I've never had a bad dish. The family atmosphere is incredible and everyone is always nice. The staff treats me like family, and over the years they have become my family. Love everything about this place. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Especially if you are looking for authentic Chinese food. Also, the vegetarian egg rolls are to die for, don't forget to ask for them. (They are not on the menu, but they will make them for you from scratch)
This place has been in Houston for over 50 years. This was my first time visiting this restaurant . i ordered the Mongolian beef entree and a tasty hand rolled eggroll. I must say I was impressed with the flavorful steak, freshly made eggroll and sauces. This is a must visit in Houston when searching for the best Chinese restaurant!
Please follow my advice on this one . If you are going to the Toyota center for a concert or whatever, stop by this venue. You can get a solid meal before going in Toyota Center. If you are going to a concert they got lots of alcohol and mixed drinks . Man top off here before you head in Toyota Center. It's a walk through the garage and boom your at Toyota Center .
Food and service were impecable! This was our first time, but it definitely won't be our last! We both had kung Pao and shared some vegetable dumplings and we have 0 complaints. In time we hope they try to modernize a little as far as decor, but it doesn't take away from such amazing food and service. Even better than Asian food in Alief!
The lemon chicken was tender and juicy. The best lemon chicken in Houston!! The homemade egg rolls are a must have with the duck sauce. Carol and Angie were amazing and very friendly, they treat you like family. If you want some amazing Chinese food from a place that does it right, then this place is a must.
