China Garden - Lenoir

Make sure to place your order in advance, as they tend to get quite busy. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend dining in, but the takeout is definitely worth the wait. The tofu, listed as "bean curd" on the menu, is fantastic for vegetarians. The fried rice is top-notch, and all the noodle dishes are excellent as well. In my opinion, this is the best Chinese food in Caldwell County.

As for the shrimp fried rice, it would be more appropriate to compare it to dirty, oily dishwater. The woman working the counter—who was also answering phones and preparing food—had such dirty hands that I should have just turned around and left without paying for the slop they dare to call food. Spare yourself the money, time, and health concerns by choosing another place for Chinese food.

I dined here for the first time tonight after moving here from Pennsylvania, and I have to say, the food was extraordinary! We ordered sweet and sour chicken and General Tso's sesame chicken, and everything was cooked to perfection. I couldn't recommend this place more! I’ll definitely be coming back!

This is the Lunch Special Chicken Lo Mein. Service was very quick, but the chicken is slimy and woefully undercooked. Aside from that, the rest of the dish was very flavorful and enjoyable. Wish I could give it a better review. Willing to try again but only if I specify to cook it longer.

Excellent every time. Portions are humongous. Food is very tasty, love this place! These people work their butts off. Family run business been coming here for years. Keep it up, I am very grateful
