Have shopped around a bit for Chinese Takeaway, but every time we come back to China Garden we wonder why we don't keep coming back - probably just that it is a little further from where we live! Polite, swift and tasty. Everything you want in a Chinese Takeaway!

Food used to be much better before the place shut down in 2022? and reopened. On reopening, the food quality for the eat as much as you dare is now very poor and portions lacking. The mix starters taste cheap/frozen items such as prawn toast (with negligible prawn), seaweed (of an interesting shade), tough chicken satays (not much satay sauce). Our next food challenge involved rubbery duck with plum sauce and cucumber/onions ( these tasted like they had been sitting around) and between the aged cucumber and the plum sauce there was a distinct feeling that something was off. Main courses involved very small portions of meat, majority of veg entailed large hunks of normal onions (ie cheap veg), the kung po has an unpleasant lemon chicken essence with a chilli style sauce that appeared to disguise other dishes too – some of the dishes had thick strips of carrot (not peeled). Not one of the dishes had any garnishes, eg carrot, turnip, lettuce etc or was there any attempt to beautify the dishes Not once were we asked how the food was. Apparently the restaurant changed kitchen chefs over the last year (since the closure in 2022?)the food from the current chef is truly awful yet the menu prices went up in 2023. Over the last 2 years it has been cash only...definitely not worth the £25 pp + 10% service charge. Advice to management .. change your chef otherwise you will continue to loose regular customers + sort out your card machine as the broken card machine excuse does not wash . Card machines can be got for less than £25 and other options such as sum up etc if you really wanted to allow your customers to pay by card... clearly this appears a cash only business..(draw your own conclusions)

La comida solía ser mucho mejor antes de que el lugar cerrara en 2022 y reabriera. Al reabrir, la calidad de los alimentos para comer tanto como te atrevas ahora es muy pobre y faltan porciones. Los entrantes de la mezcla prueban artículos baratos / congelados como tostadas de gambas (con langostinos insignificantes) , algas marinas (de un tono interesante) , satays de pollo duro (no mucha salsa satay) . Nuestro siguiente desafío alimenticio consistió en pato gomoso con salsa de ciruela y pepino / cebolla (estos sabían como si hubieran estado sentados) y entre el pepino añejo y la salsa de ciruela había una sensación distinta de que algo estaba mal. Los platos principales involucraban porciones muy pequeñas de carne, la mayoría de las verduras conllevaban grandes trozos de cebollas normales (es decir, verduras baratas), el kung po tiene una desagradable esencia de pollo limón con una salsa estilo chile que parecía disfrazar otros platos también – algunos de los platos tenían tiras gruesas de zanahoria (no peladas) . Ninguno de los platos tenía guarniciones, por ejemplo, zanahoria, nabo, lechuga, etc. o hubo algún intento de embellecer los platos Ni una vez nos preguntaron cómo estaba la comida. Aparentemente el restaurante cambió de chef de cocina durante el último año (desde el cierre en 2022 ? ) la comida del chef actual es realmente horrible, sin embargo, los precios del menú subieron en 2023 . En los últimos 2 años ha sido solo en efectivo ... definitivamente no vale la pena el cargo de £ 25 por persona + 10% de servicio. Consejos a la dirección. . cambiar a su chef de lo contrario seguirá perdiendo clientes habituales + ordenar su máquina de tarjetas como la excusa de máquina de tarjetas rotas no se lava. Las máquinas de tarjetas se pueden conseguir por menos de £ 25 y otras opciones como resumir, etc si realmente quería permitir a sus clientes pagar con tarjeta . . claramente esto parece un negocio solo en efectivo . . (saque sus propias conclusiones)

A very poor experience in every way. We had the all you can eat menu at £25/person (plus 10% service charge non negotiable) this was a big mistake. The first dish of combo starters was of very poor quality, spare ribs that had no meat on them and tasteless spring rolls. At this point in a normal menu (not all you can eat) I would have ordered no more dishes and cut my losses and run. We persevered onto a crispy duck that was served with dried cucumber and dried spring onions clearly that had been standing around a while. The duck was just awful with some uncooked fat ie not crispy and just poor quality. We then went onto to a mains of chicken and black bean sauce. One mouthful of rubbery thin tasteless chicken of extremely poor quality and I gave up. Despite all the food that we had clearly been unable to eat left on our plates we were never asked once how was the food. It was just cleared away with no questions I assume the staff knew the quality was poor and therefore no need to ask. We were also informed before the meal that the credit card machine was broken and it would be cash only. Speaking to others, I know that in March of this year the credit card machine was also broken. Running a business on cash only raises my suspicion about the whole business ethics. There was just us and another group in the restaurant for the whole evening. I cannot recommend this restaurant in any way and will not be returning.

Very disappointed at everything. From bringing out the mains before the starters, no serving spoons or plates or bowls for the mains to forgetting drinks and then saying it was cash only when the bill came. Ownership seem to have deserted shop! Training and quality control urgently required here. Sorry!

We had really great dinner here on Sunday. Fantastic service and staff were very friendly!! Seafood with crispy noodles and steamed sea bass are the best ever for me. I think they made theirselves. We want to try other food next visit, and we enjoyed spicy chicken and s stuffed peppers and tofu with black bean sauce. Fresh ingredients and not salty or oily which we loved it. We will come back soon and book in advanced to avoid a long wait, still worth it tho.

The Chinese stir-fries are good, such as stir-fried udon, beef brisket, and tripe soup. However, the appetizers are disappointing, especially the pot stickers, which look like deep-fried fried chicken. Tasteless.

Very expensive with the food and service quality they provided. The Hong Kong style “special lunch” menu was below expectation. We expected “Mike Tea” was the classic HK taste but just a tea bag in water with milk and some sugar, coffee was instant, but price was over £3 each!! And foods was not in HK style, more like localised Chinese foods. We visited cause we attracted by their advertisement on fb on “HK style” but obviously we were wrong. Definitely never return again! BTW, just notice they didn’t provided the free drinks they offered in ad😡

I have eaten here once as a dine in and another for takeaway. Mostly the food wasn’t appetizing and the staff seemed to try and ignore me most of the time. Dining in, the wine was expensive and had a taste like it at the bargain end wine of the wine list. Requests while ordering seem to be ignored or they didn’t understand me. I felt quite upset at the table by the time we finished, paid and left, I felt like I should have gone back to complain. The takeaway on another day (perhaps I thought there would be an improvement) was not nice also. Won’t return.

Very nice Cantonese food! I’m from HongKong, So as the chef as I heard, and I do think it’s authentic. I definitely feel closer to Home. I would say it’s taste like home, I understand that some ingredient are not possible to get exactly the same way as in Hong Kong. So I definitely appreacite the effort ! A large selection of dishes which I am surprised. I ordered from the menu, not the buffet, since that’s not usually how we go to a Cantonese parlour, therefore food is in bigger portion, and the plating seems nicer (I guess), and you know what? It ends up being cheaper. For the whole table. Best value/quality for Cantonese Chinese food in Reading I have tried! Keep on the good work! The food is beautiful, not too oily, not overly sweet with cornstarch sauce, not overly rely on the dreaded “sweet and sour sauce” (that’s not a good representation of Chinese food) and most of all, definitely the quality is not like those take away Chinese food shops! Please try this for yourself! You get what you pay for! And actually it’s not much more expensive. It is not busy at all at most times and I think it is underrated. The atmosphere was good , it’s very neat , clean and comfortable. I was chatting with a waitress who was friendly and also come from Hong Kong. I came multiple times with my family and friends, and will definitely try other dishes.

I had a terrible customer service experience on Friday evening, after questioning something that occurred on my last visit to the restaurant. This was around them only accepting cash yet their takeaway menu indicates that they do accept card payments. I was basically told that if I don't like it I mustn't come back........so I will not be back! The restaurant was empty when I was there so perhaps a lot of people have been told the same thing that I was told.

Had dinner with family on a Friday evening. We were surprised that though it was a Friday evening the place was almost deserted and out of those few guests one family stormed out complaining about poor customer service! We found the customer service to be rather indifferent but food was the biggest issue. Even while having the food we thought it was hit and miss with some foods served almost cold or tepid and some dishes tasting quite odd. However the most concerning part was that the next morning family member developed food poisoning which required visit to the doctors. Given the low turnout on a Friday night coupled with cold or tepid dishes being served very quickly and having food poisoning immediately after raises serious doubt about the freshness and hygiene of the food in this place. Definitely not an experience you would expect after forking out £100 for a meal!

At first glance the all you can eat menu seems like decent value. Starters were nice and we thought we were in for a treat but the main dishes were a let down. Crispy Chilli beef with no beef, chewy squid and sickly lemon chicken were not what we had in mind. While portions were decent everything was lack lustre. Being conscious of the 'pay for what you don't eat at full price' clause we tried our best to get through everything, but would have rather had the starters again. Drinks were very over priced and the coke was flat and questionably Coca-Cola. Add onto this 12.5% service charge and the exclamation that they only take cash and the cash point was up the road, and the meal came to over £100 for three people with soft drinks and one glass of wine. On the plus side the chow mein was good and everything came out very quickly. Maybe a case of learning what is worth eating and what isn't to get value for money.

This was a very disappointed meal although we only pay half the price thanks to the government eat out scheme, the quality of the food did not reflect their price at all. We ordered three dishes from the À la carte menu and following are my comments: 1. Yeung Chow Fried Rice The was marginally average, a little more salty as it should be. 2. Lamb Spring Onions Soy Sauce There was no lamb in the dish, we both feel the meat tasted like beef but the waiter confirmed they were lamb. I was not convinced. The dish was too oily, basically it’s stir fry using soy sauce and dark soy cause, certainty below average. 3. Satay beef glass vermicelli hot pot This is not the way how it should be cooked. First of all, the hot pot isn’t hot :-) they should have at least cooked the food in the pot for a little while. Secondly, the satay was mostly covered by the chilli, satay should not be that spicy. Thirdly, pineapple added to the dish made the taste become a little strange, the sweet is all covered by the spice again. Lastly but not least, the dish was tasteless, you would be taste the chilli and that’s it. In conclusion, they are certainty not authentic Chinese food. I’m specially disappointed with the quality of the ingredients, for example addictive was added to the meat to make too/over tender which cause the meat losing its flavour and texture. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant and certainty wouldn’t go back even it’s half price.

This was our first time at the restaurant and we will definitely return. They have a large menu and our decision to go with the "all you can eat" fixed-price (£19.50) dinner proved wise. The plate of mixed starters was a little disappointing, with rather dry spring rolls and spare ribs that had little meat on them but this was immediately compensated for with excellent crispy duck of ample proportions and all the traditional trimmings of pancakes, sauce, cucumber and spring onions. There followed a huge choice of traditional Chinese dishes based on lamb, beef, chicken, shrimp and pork. Each was cooked to order and served piping hot by friendly staff. The fact that this was "eating out to help out" was a bonus!

This used to be the best Chinese food I've had outside of London, I used to live in Hong Kong so I have a good reference. The last 3 times I have ordered, the food has been badly cooked and even the wrong dish. We always ask for no peppers in any dishes because of an allergy and the last order has peppers. We phoned the restaurant to tell them and also let them know that the food was badly cooked, the lady on the phone didn't care and was rude about it. The most recent meal was terrible and the chef should be ashamed of himself. I'll never order from them again which is a shame, I've been ordering from them for 3 years and used to love this restaurant.

I have visited this restaurant a few times now and really enjoy the quality of the food, and it is usually very quiet. The staff are polite, but do not recommend visiting in larger groups as this is the only bad experience I have had here (food was slow and felt rushed out).

The meal was my third takeaway of the lockdown so far and was pretty good. My opinion may not be amazing, as I have never been to a Chinese takeaway before but I liked it The food was good (I had sweet and sour pork Hong Kong style) the food contained lots of really nice meat. The dumplings were expensive and a bit of a let down but the prawn crackers were really good. The food was made quickly for us to collect and was still hot when we got to eat it, around 10 minutes later. It is a really nice meal and I suggest going here.

La comida era en el mejor de los casos promedio, incluso se equivocaron en el pedido, cuando se le pidió que repitiera el pedido, la señora que tomó el pedido dijo que no necesitábamos dar el número en el menú que pertenece al artículo ya que ella no parecía entender y parecía apresura la llamada telefónicaUn artículo estaba mal y tenía carnes mixtas y, como nuestra hija es pescatariana, los fideos ordenados eran vegetarianos con un plato principal de gambas.Actitud impactante, sin humildad en el simple hecho de que el error fue de su parte - para el negocio de restaurantes / comida para llevar, especialmente en el clima económico actual debido a la Pandemia, donde la mayoría de las tiendas, restaurantes y comida para llevar están cerradas - si se permite que el negocio se quede ABIERTOS necesitan ofrecer el mejor servicio, calidad y atención al cliente posibles. Parece ajeno a este lugar en todas las cuentasNo volveremos a hacer pedidos desde aquí, ¡deja la visita!Pésimo

Decepcionado por decir lo menos ordenado a las 5. 30 pm para la entrega a las 6. Las 30 de la noche no recibían comida hasta las 8. 20 pm, aunque llamé al restaurante más de dos veces y la señora fue amable y se disculpó,Se contactó con el conductor varias veces, se le dijo que dijo que se había desviado, pero cuando me llamó fue otra historia que culpaba a su navegador de iPhone, no puso mi código postal y mi dirección y lo llevó a la misma dirección. En otro lugar, un viaje de 20 minutos en automóvil desde el restaurante que se convirtió en una hora y 50 minutos más de lo que se esperaba la primera hora, era un placer para mí y mi hija discapacitada que estábamos esperando. Después de que el conductor de disculpa le dijo que aún hacía calor, sí, lo adivinó, no tenía que calentarlo todo costó 38, el restaurante ha ofrecido un 20% de descuento la próxima vez, lo siento, no habrá una próxima vez

Food was OK. Not great, but not bad. Had dim sum, and soup noodles and mixed met rice for lunch. Came to try as the Reading China Palace had closed. Not sure we will be back, as nothing special.

Just visited this place and found the food quality to be really quite poor - feeling a little nauseated right now to be brutally honest. Also, the blatant attempt to overcharge by £30 through nonchalantly changing some quantities from 1 to 2 and then accidentally leaving a drink at qty 1 when it should have been 2 with a hand annotation to correct it back to 2 and a little verbal apology and explanation was a clear attempted distraction to focus attention elsewhere and therefore disguise the overcharging on the food. This was really quite offensive to our intelligence and just pure silliness. I'm very rarely moved to a point where I want to leave a negative review but this time I feel it's justified.

Such a blessed to have found this takeaway shop during my stay around the neighbourhood. They provide a lot of dish options with generous portions and quality ingredients. Personally I do prefer their Grilled chicken with ginger and garlic in wine sauce where you can’t find it anywhere else👍🏻

Somehow, i was confused in punjabi and vegetable samosa that made the wrong order😕. I wanted typical Indian samosa, which should be punjabi according to the menu. But I ordered vegetable samosa. So, on the basis of that, it was good ( more oily than expected)but not very good. Vegetables were in good quantities.
