China Garden - Warrington

The delivery arrived 5minutes early. We ordered sweets and sour chicken, tofu and vegetables, shredded beef with kung po, curry beef, fried noodles and beansprouts, spare ribs and chips. As a person who grew up in a chinese takeaway, there are a certain quality I am usually look for to remind me of my childhood. I have to say the portion size and the price are reasonable. I have to recommend highly their sweet and sour as the sauce has a fresh zingy taste from the lemon and pineapple giving the sweetness. I also enjoyed their beef curry, could do with less salt but the spice level was perfect. Their tofu were decent too cooked in oyster sauce with good mixture of other vegetables such as chinese leaf and broccoli. The noodles (thin) were also well cooked with the authentic taste of wok hey (it is like a chargrilled flavour). The only thing was a let down was the spare ribs it was too salty and not enough pepper taste. Plus they have forgotten our prawn crackers. Other than those hiccups, would definitely go back again.

After relocating, my husband and I were in search of a new Chinese restaurant and we were delighted to find a fantastic one. The food is consistently delicious and while the service can be slow at times, it doesn't bother us because the food is worth the wait. They always inform us if there will be a delay, which we appreciate. We have tried a variety of dishes and have never been disappointed. When we have had friends over, they have also been impressed with the food. It's rare for two picky eaters like us to agree on a restaurant, so finding this place has been very special for us.

The delivery took 2 hours, which was longer than the promised time of an hour. I called after 1 hour and 30 minutes and was informed that they had not even started cooking the food yet. They estimated an additional 20 minutes wait time. There was no apology offered. The food finally arrived 30 minutes later. The overall food quality was good, except for the duck which was overcooked and lacking in meat.

The takeaway food I ordered was decent at best. However, I found the price for the small amount of seaweed to be quite expensive at £4 for just a quarter of a small foil tub. The rice was fine, and the ribs were okay, but overall, nothing stood out as exceptional.

Absolute disaster muchie box b was an absolute tragedy its was a fat soup, half of meat was missing,everything thrown and mixed in the same oil way to much salt,same disgusting taste of oil,honestly im not a hater i love food but places like that should be closed immediately,it's a heart attack food from that place so never again for me
