China Garden

Not bad for a small town OH Chinese restaurant. Sesame chicken was a little mushy, but I thought the sauce had pretty good flavor.

If you go to restaurants for «ambiance» this isn’t the place for you. It’s a dumpy building inside and out, and the proprietor is a loud Chinese lady who means well but just doesn’t get it. And the local clientele is decidedly blue collar and Walmarty, if you catch my drift.
However, if you go to restaurants for yummy food (as I do), then this is the place for you! They will cook to order, so I ordered a meal that normally comes with a brown sauce as «hot.» And man, WAS IT EVER HOT!!! The sort of heat that grows and grows the more you eat. We’re talking eye watering, nose running, but be careful not to wipe your eyes with it hot. And it was actual MEAT! I WILL be back and I WILL order hot again!

Driving to Columbus, we stopped here on a Saturday evening for dinner. It’s a couple of miles off of US 23 and wasn’t crowded. The waitress was very welcoming and sweet. I tried Mongolian Chicken. What a dish. It LOOKED beautiful and tasted delicious. It came with a spring roll and a cup of soup. The vegetable Lo mein was also very good. Highly recommend this place!

Love! The owners are amazing and they treat you like family. I have been going here since they have opened and they remember everyone’s order, even if it has been a year since you have been there. Definitely worth the stop and don’t order HOT because it will literally make you sneeze when it gets sat down in front of you.

Staying in the Upper Sandusky area for a couple of weeks and got the urge for something fresh, something other than the burgers and pasta that seems the staple. I searched here on Unilocal for a good Chinese place, where I can usually get a dish with some tasty veggies, and found China Garden. Sadly, I was a bit disappointed with the experience.
Ordered beef & broccoli to go with a hot & sour soup. The beef was good; the broccoli was good; but they were slathered in a brown gravy that was just not very appetizing. The soup was… well, it was not soup. It was some other form of gelatinous goop instead of a spicy broth. I tried to eat it, but it was so bland and gooey, I just couldn’t.
All in all, I probably threw out about half of the meal.

Stereotypical Chinese décor decks out this old KFC location with seating for about 45 – 50 people…
Mom and pop place with the owners on site, waiting on customers and doing the cooking. I’m primed.
I ordered the China Garden Special and hot and sour soup. Soup was very pretty good but way too thick but with a pronounced white pepper flavor. The Special? Chicken, Beef and large Shrimp stir-​fried with carrots, chinese pea pods, bamboo, water chestnuts, mushrooms, bok choy, celery, broccoli and onion. Brown Sauce (got it medium spicey). Wow…
No complaints here at all, great food and speedy service. Owner was very friendly and chatty, made sure I was happy with everything. My only gripe is that she dropped off the check and then got tied up on a phone conversation so I had to get up to pay my bill. Irritating but not a deal breaker.
I’d definitely recommend this restaurant if you are craving Chinese food in Upper Sandusky.

This place has been a favorite spot of mine for multiple years the food is great and the service is fast and friendly. The owners are almost always on site and the quality of the food is better than most Chinese places. I recommend ordering from the specials menu as they come with soup tea and an egg roll all for less than 10 dollars at lunch and 15 at dinner for the most part. When ordering all of their spicy dishes you are immediately asked «HOW HOT U WANT IT» in a most appealing Chinese accent.
All in all this place is a regular stop for me when I am in town and I recommend making it one of yours too.
