Chinese Gardens

“Missed it by that much.” This restaurant is practically a Spokane landmark and has been here for decades, so clearly, people like to eat here. The food isn’t bad, but it’s not great and that’s a shame because it could be. The food is bland. Maybe this is a simply a result of the typically bland Spokane palate and this restaurant seasons their food according to what “most” customers like? The other issue is that although my food arrived fairly quickly after I ordered, it was not hot. It was lukewarm. That’s a real problem. Chinese food should arrive at your table piping-hot. Not sure if they keep the lunch menu items under a heat lamp for fast service or what - but it was a disappointment. There was only one other party inside at peak lunch time. The restaurant is clean and service was attentive and friendly and prices were very reasonable. Again, the food was OK, but certainly not great. This place has potential but they will most definitely have to up their game.

Spokane doesn't have many choices for "Chinese (almost)" cuisine that is above mediocre. This restaurant and their place downtown at 3rd and Cedar are the better choices. They are particularly capable of preparing Almond Chicken and Barbecue Pork without turning it into jerky.

I went to Chinese Gardens and had a nice lunch. Very clean and my waitress gets 5⭐️ My egg flower soup was just like warm and there was too much gravy on my almond chicken and egg foo young. I will ask for less next time.

This place is a gem💎! Very impressed with their food and friendly, speedy service. Vegetables tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. And omg the crab wontons were decadent on the inside and light and crispy outside🦀. The sweet and sour sauce was a bit thick, but the flavor was quality⭐. Massive amount of food too! Definitely shareable portion sizes. With the rice I was able to get 4 meals out of just my veggie stir-fry. The only issue we had was the styrofoam containers leaked sauce everywhere and through the plastic bag, transport with care. Will definitely order again though. Please open a location to the west side of the Cascades🙏💚!
