China Garden - SALUDA

I've known about this place for 18 years, and it truly has the best rice in Saluda!

The food was decent, and the service was good. I dined in, and the price per person was between $10 and $20. I would rate the food a 3 out of 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4 as well. I recommend trying the General TSO's Chicken and the Egg Roll.

Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for families. Service: Takeout. Meal type: Lunch. Price per person: $1–10. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Orange Beef, Fried Rice, General TSO's Chicken. Parking: There’s plenty of parking available, with a free parking lot.

I wish I could put a 0 star but for me review i have to put atleast a star and if I had the power I wish I could shut the business down. The people in the restaurant aren't the best but, they're not rude or anything. I'm guessing its family owned, but I just wish they'd stop. The food they serve looks presentable for something that's not fancy or anything. Its to be expected, the taste of the food is bland and lacking of any passion. I usually get the general tso's chicken and sometimes the bourbon chicken. I would eat at the place once a month or a few times in between months, the other times the food was okay not the best. Their fried wonton they're not fresh and you could tell and also when you chew on them. The chicken is just really bland, the rice is lacking in so much flavor. This time around today, I got what I usually ordered and I come home and eat the food. As I was picking around the general tso's chicken, I saw something weird it looked like an onion and so I took close expecting and I saw it was a cockroach. The establishment itself is really bad, the paint job outside and inside of the place is terrible. The place really need some serious renovations. I've never ate the other food they serve at the place, but since ai expect to have a cockroach in my food the rest of their meat must be infested with something. I don't understand how, all the rest of these people put a high rating on this place, its just very unsanitary and their food lacks anything. Aswell, as their parking lot is very small whenever they get a delivery the food semi-truck parks at the front of the store and you'll get stuck if you park at the front of the store, you would not be able to back up. The restaurant itself is also is in a bad location, it is next to residents of the town. It would be better if they find a different location and do a rebrand and maybe rethink of their methods of everything they do. I could understand why maybe some people put a high rating is because the portions they give is pretty high they, give you too much food colored rice. This place really need some serious inspection, but the town itself wouldn't care, it is a small town. Vegetarian options: I seem to recall there wasn't any vegetarian options, plus it wouldn't be vegetarian i bet they would cook with the same appliances and utensils for the omnivore eaters. Another thing is you will find a cockroach or some kind of bug in your food and it may be really hidden, because of the amount of food they feed you and you mindlessly just eat without thinking where the food came from. Even if they do have a vegetarian option it would be unsanitary, so please go somewhere else unless you would like to change to being an omnivore again. Parking: Terrible parking Kid-friendliness: Do not bring your children here, if they want chinese food bring them somewhere else but here and where its clean. Wheelchair accessibility: Terrible only one disabled person parking space and it isn't even that accessible.

Stop by to pick up a meal for the family we didn't feel like cooking. The waiting area is run down and no real effort to insure a great customer experience. The gentleman that took my order was very short not friendly at all. Almost seemed like I was a burden, not very appreciative for my business. Placed the order and waited while they prepared everything. Got home to enjoy they meal i was very disappointed, everything tasted old and bland. To Me it seem that the food had been cooked a week ago then put in the microwave I will not be returning nor would I recommend this establishment.
