South Garden Chinese Restaurant

We order out from South Garden a couple of times each month. It is our «Go-​To» for Chinese cuisine in the neighborhood. In fact, the nice woman who takes my order knows my name from my voice.
I love their General’s Chicken. They garnish it with a good handful of crispy steamed broccoli that puts it over the top. My wife LOVES their Kung Pao chicken topped with a generous amount of toasted peanuts. We both love their egg rolls, & I like their Hot & Sour Soup while my wife loves their Won Ton soup.
Whenever we place our order, they always have it ready within about 10 minutes, and it is always piping hot when I get it home to eat. We LOVE South Garden Chinese!

I love this place! Large amount of food for an extremely cheap price. Best spicy sesame chicken ever!
If they had delivery I would probably order it more!

Brought my mom to lunch at South Garden Chinese Restaurant and found the food to be very tasty and in large amounts. The Hot and Sour soup was one of the better ones I have had in a while. The portions were big and the prices were very reasonable for lunch. The waiter named Jose was very attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. I will be back again.

I wasn’t impressed I ordered shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. Egg rolls were ok but I really love shrimp fried rice and I’ve had better. If you like large portions then this is the place for u but all they did was take shrimp and add it to rice w peas and carrots. I won’t go again. :-(

5 stars? Why 5 stars? I’ll tell you why. Where in town can you get such large food portions of food with such great service at such an affordable price.
I finished up a client meeting and decided to stop in for lunch. I was their first patron of the day. I chose their Tuesday lunch special (Kung Pao Chicken). Though I’ve never tasted that particular dish selection before today, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
C’mon man, where are you going to find large portions of tasty asian food with such attentive service for slightly over 5 bucks (actually $ 5.29 for their lunch special). I’m a hearty eater and it was enough for me. I’d eaten here many times a decade plus years ago. I remember enjoying their food and wanted to see if it was as good as I remember it being. I’m going to have to come back again. Yes, I enjoyed it that much.

Service here was good. I liked the egg rolls but I didn’t care for the combination fried rice. It tasted too much like Rice a Roni with extra salt. The combination fried rice from Lung Fung and Hung Fong are much better.

South garden Chinese is a small hole in the wall restaurant off Fredericksburg. I stumbled here simply looking for a a decent clean place to have lunch.
I give this restaurant 4 stars because their service was quick, and our server was attentive and polite, not to mention their sweet and sour chicken plate is truly amazing! And it comes on special every Monday 11 – 4 (for $ 5.29) and comes with a soup and side.
Portions and prices are more than reasonable for a nice sit down quiet place to have lunch.
My only concern was the «sea food» in particular the calamari which was absolutely terrible. I wasn’t sure if it was chicken or some sort of tainted fish, but we told an employee and it was taken off our tab:) (other sea food items look questionable;wouldn’t recommend it).
But overall south garden is an above average place to eat.

Hands down my favorite chinese resturant. I can’t speak for the other dishes but I order the triple delight with steamed rice, crab Rangoon, and egg drop soup and I’m never disappointed, super friendly staff. Best triple delight in town!

This is my second attempt after my first attempt months ago was disappointing.
The egg drop soup tasted fresh and flavorful. Lemon chicken dish was better than average. Moist chicken and the batter wasn’t overwhelming. I chose steam rice just as a preference but it does comes with pork fried rice at no extra cost. Wife got the combination lo mein and OMG is was so flavorful and tasty and a great smelling meal. The only criticism is that the noodles were amazing but the chicken in the lo mein was flavorless and brought he dish down. If it was only noodles and vegetables it would be perfect. I’d suggest no chicken cuz it tastes like it was frozen then refrozen 20 times. There were only a few pieces of chicken so it was easy to remove. Just put the chicken pieces to the side and enjoy the noodles. The pork slices in the lo mein had flavor and was a touch chewy for my taste but they were thin slices so it was ok. The shrimp in the lo mein was certainly overcooked but the sauce kept the shrimp moist enough and the flavor in the shrimp holds up great during the cooking process. The egg roll in the meal had a good balance and taste of flavor inside but the wrapping on the outside was cooked softer then id prefer. I’d hope for more of a crunch when I eat an egg roll but the flavor was on point. Service was consistently good and I have no complaints on the level of attention my table got. Overall a good experience and I would return again.

been coming here for years. the food is always delicious and hot. wait is never too long. people are very friendly and nice. i always have a full cup of soda at all times is what i love.

Food was very subpar. Lacking in flavor and I had stuff floating in my water. My hot and sour soup was luke warm so I was afraid to eat it and my lemon chicken was flavorless. I also didn’t like the fact that they only offered Egg Drop and Hot and Sour soup only and no Wonton Soup. Will not be returning.

I ordered to go and I got great size portions for being their lunch special. Great Chinese food. Next time I’ll dine in, Two Thumbs up!

I usually pick up from this place, and the food is really good. The service is really fast and the staff are super nice. I would highly recommend this place.

I was a little leary but then I saw only one bad review so I decided to give it a shot. I’m on my lunch hour and really no other Chinese Restaurant. I had Kung Pao Chicken. It was inexpensive lunch menu, good food, and excellent service. I will be back again for my lunch break.

Awesome food! They serve big portions, and the customer service is really good. I’ve never had to wait a long time for my food. My only complaint is that they don’t deliver. My favorite parts: the price and what comes with your meal: rice, appettizer, and soup for both lunch and dinner! Most places don’t serve soup and are overly priced.

In the past this has been ok… Today it smelled like an old dirty shoe. Not too good. The service is good and prompt and the lunch special is cheap.
