China Garden Restaurant

Just to clear up any confusion, I am giving this place two stars based only upon the eggrolls and sauce served with them. I was not impressed with the rest of the food at all. I ordered a combo with my husband; it came with almond chicken, pineapple chicken, two eggrolls each, Asian ribs, and fried rice. What we recieved, besides the admittedly delicious eggrolls, were: veggies in broth w/​approx 20 cashews on top, chewy/​tough ribs, beyond salty rice (however, it was not greasy so that’s certainly something), and balls of chicken, fried but chewy, in some bland sourish sauce.
We ate, and left hungry with a rather large order of eggrolls to-​go, for when we got home.
All that aside, as I was eating, I was facing the bathrooms and could not help but notice an employee leave the bathroom area with a still dripping plunger, AND CARRY IT INTO THE KITCHEN!
Needless to say, we will not be going back, ever. The saddest part is that my husband assures me that the restaurant was wonderful when his grandparents used to bring him when he was much younger.

About the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. Food is so bland or super sweet and the hostess had such a bad attitude. If you order stuff make sure you know what it looks like before you get it. If you order takeout, they don’t give utensils.

Heaving back to Montréal from a client site, I decided to stop here for a quick lunch.
Situated in old St-​Jean across the street from a cinema theater this little restaurant serves Asian styled meals that ultimately was about as average as it gets compared to some other places I tend to go eat.
I ordered their «Combo Meal # 4» that came with a variety of small plates.
The spring rolls were the best thing I’ve eaten here. They were just the right amount of crunchy, the sauce was the perfect mixture or sweet and sour and the insides of the rolls moist and tender. Yummy!
I didn’t like their lemony chicken (the sauce was completely off) as well as the vegetables (they were overcooked).
The mini-​ribs were very small yet perfectly right, the sauce was great and the fried rice hit the spot.
The service was slow but there was only 1 waitress working about 15 tables.
The price was a bit expensive for what it was.
Lastly, the food from this place reminded me of Buffet Fu Lam a lot where you’d get mediocre food from food bins and you’d fill your plate. Nothing except eh spring rolls stood out for me.

Dans le genre cuisine chinoise fast-​food, China Garden est sans aucun doute un des meilleurs endroits de Saint-​Jean. Contrairement aux buffets, la nourriture est préparée lors de la commande. La clientèle est gériatrique mais Martine St-​Clair en background radiophonique et tout simplement génial!
