This is the second time I have had food from China Garden. The first, was an all you can eat, dine in. This, was a takeaway for 2 people. We were both craving a carb filled treat but were not satisfied… To keep with the veggie Jan them3, We ordered: Prawn balls - more like tempura prawns (very small) Veggie chowmein - steady Egg fried rice - steady Chips - soggy and a very small portion Satay sauce - steady Curry sauce - weak and uninspiring Overall, this whole meal was bland and not up to what I was expecting. Such a shame as my previous dine in here was great !!

Set price per adult of under £25, covering a wide range of favourites. Fast service and tasty food. Staff are friendly too. Drinks aren’t included in set price, but have a range of wines, beers and soft drinks available.

Food was great and well priced. The restaurant would do better if they played music during the night. We were majorly put off by a family of 2 men and 1 elderly woman with a child about 6 years old who urinated and did something else in a potty in the middle of the restaurant. Absolutely disgusting but not the staff or restaurants fault.

Love this place. However it’s really annoying they don’t advertise when it’s closed. Twice we have been waiting outside a big group of us and they come To the door and say it’s closed today. Even if they put it on the door. But food is great

We showed up at this restaurant as my brother (the birthday boy) had seen online that they did a Sunday Buffett. Initially we were surprised as the place was empty and we weren’t sure it was open but it was and we had a lovely meal. Nice fresh buffet , all cooked to order , crispy food, lovely Peking duck. Smooth house wine and excellent service . Such a shame that this restaurant isn’t more used by local folk. Lovely token when they brought my brother a birthday dessert for us all to share.

Bought a take away whilst my kitchen is being refurbed and found a hair. First and last time I’ll go because when I took it back they said it wasn’t theirs. It was short and black and I certainly don’t have that kind of hair!

On my birthday, my partner & I were taken here by my Father. He'd booked a table & had intended to use the buffet menu, but as we weren't offered it, only the "regular" 1 we assumed it wasn't available on a Saturday evening. So we chose to have the "Set 2, for 3 people" (various set menus to be chosen from for a minimum of 2 people) as I tend to order the "classics", my partner isn't over keen on Chinese & my Dad likes to "experiment". We chose that option as my bloke had tried "Mongolian style lamb" the day before, enjoyed it & that was on this list. The rest of the meal was fairly standard stuff for a "Classic" Chinese, but the lamb was really interesting. It was served between starters & mains, & shredded, a bit like the duck with pancakes, but you were given whole, fresh, lettuce leaves to wrap it in. Not a concept I'd come across before. The other thing that took me slightly aback was when my bloke asked for a jug of tap water for the table we were each brought a (pepsi) glass full instead. The meal was fair quality for a fair price (according to Dad) but the 10% service was added automatically, which he wasn't impressed with. But he's not sure whether you could ask for it to be removed if you'd had a really bad time. We doggy bagged the leftovers & had them for supper 2 days later(yes, there was that much left)

Could do with a lick of paint and new loo's but none of that really matters because the food is fantastic. Eat as much as you like, £20 on some nights and £15 on others. Last night we chowed down on every starter on the menu, followed by the duck, we were so full we didn't have room for a main course. The best garlic butter prawns, deep fried squid and lightly dusted deep fried green beans. Really good value, superb food and a friendly service. Can't wait to go back....mouth watering as I type There is parking right outside the restaurant and a car park 2 minutes around the corner

My partner & I were in Morden & decided on the spur of the moment to dine out. After much codgitation we agreed on the China Garden as a new experience. They offer a set price - eat-as-much-as-you-want, but not buffet style, each dish would be cooked to order & served to your table We had a lovely meal, I had 2 starters, soup, veggy noodles & meat-w-sauce. My partner had 3 starters, rice & meat-w-sauce. We also shared a duck-pancakes. The staff were all courteous & smooth footed. There was a large family party as well as 2 other tables & yet we didn't feel at all like they were hurrying us. We're looking forward to doing it again soon.

It seems this place has gone to the dogs. Ordered twice recently now and each time delivered cold unappetizing food. Curry didn't even come with rice and they didn't tell that to me on the phone when I ordered. Also promised some prawn crackers that never arrived. Joke of a place and staff actually don't care I found. Very expensive for small portions. Ignorance is the only reason why I suspect people still go here. Tries twice as it USED to be good. I suspect different owner now..

The food is usually better than this. The Thai green curry very cloggy and thick- not the fresh, light, flavourful curry it is meant to be. Special chow mien was very dry, and the ribs shrivelled and overlooked. The chicken satay was generous and spicy, and the prawn crackers light and not oily which was a lovely free addition and much appreciated.

Food is good and the East as Much as you Like menu is reasonably good value at £18.95 per head (we do eat a lot). Wine is reasonably priced. However, the place is very tired now, even threadbare in places. The service left a lot to be desired, especially when we were the only table left. More attention was paid to cell phones and chatting to family members who, it seemed, were itching to sit down for their evening meal. The corner table was reserved for their kindergarten. These days it’s fine for a quick meal but it’s not really a night out venue any more, I feel.

Crispy beef was as about as crispy as a packet of Walkers you left in the back of the cupboard in 1992 and opened expecting something.
