Oriental Garden

Hmmm. Lil hole in the wall hidden inside grocery store shopping parking lot. publix? Next to el.sombrero. Delish sesame seed wings. $ 7+/_ lettuce. wraps, $ 7 +/​_​very tasty, great food! :-) Staff very FRIENDLY, will definitely be back and update prices and review! :-) Very CLEAN. Gotta add lunch to ur calendar, its worth it, $ 7 +/​_​comes with soup!

This place is hidden away and if not for a co-​worker I would have never eaten there. Good thing for me I have lunch there many times now. The food is fresh and tasty. Service was very fast and they were quite attentive. If your looking for some decent Chinese food at a reasonable price then you have found the best Gainesville has to offer.

this place is a hidden treasure… from the outside you would never expect what is behind the beautifully decorated door… my sister and i were impressed from the moment we walked in… the décor was very elegant and tasteful… none of that *fast food* feel that it seems most chinese restaurants have adopted… i was especially taken with the absence of a buffet line…
hmmmm, let’s check out the menu… everything looked good… i chose the scallops w/​shrimp & chicken, sis picked broccoli beef (i’m more adventurous!!)…
the food was AMAZING… each bite was better than the last… everything was sooooooo fresh… the egg rolls and spring rolls were hot out of the fryer, but not greasy… without the *sitting on the steam table* rubberiness… the scallops were cooked perfectly, the shrimp & chicken flavorful, the beef melted in your mouth like butter, the vegetables so fresh and crisp, as if they had gone out back and picked them!!!
the service was excellent, the staff attentive without *hovering*…and the prices couldn’t be beat… we were there during the lunch hour…11am-3pm…i think nothing on the menu was over $ 7.00…and even though we came in at 2:40, the food was as fresh & hot as if it was the first service of the day…
hands down, this has to be the best chinese i’ve had in a long time… and i’ve been around… used to be a longhaul trucker, and i’ve eaten chinese from florida to new jersey to wyoming to utah… you get the idea… this was top notch… lunch, drinks and a five dollar tip… under $ 21
YUM!!!

outstanding… great lunch n fast service at 1pm. tasty n plant for $ 6. I got a hair cut next door at great clips n they said it was good and reasonable. very true… major airline captain

Our second time to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Having left one restaurant without even being spoken to, we decided to fall back on Oriental Garden. The food here is excellent but what was more important was the attentive waitress. She was very helpful and even offered to modify a menu item just for our liking. Have left both times with food to take home, which is always a plus. We will absolutely be going back for more.

I’ve never been here before today. They’ve been open 6 years according to the gentleman who seated my family. Oriental Garden is located in a strip center in the Marshals, Publix, Old Navy store area in Gainesville sort of near the Hollywood Theaters. The first thing I noticed was the warm and friendly service. The menu was typical. I did notice that almost every table was taken for a Sunday lunch. My wife had the Wanton Soup as a lunch. Packed with chicken and dumplings. Very good and home made as a learned when checking out. I had the chicken lo-​main (spelling?) Very good. We all enjoyed our meals, friendly and good service. Our lunch bill was $ 19 for 3 folks. I’m giving it 4 stars based on service and taste and value. We will be back.

When it comes to Chinese food, it is typically a hit or miss for me. Either the food is good or the food is not so great. This evening we found a great Chinese restaurant. The service was great and the food certainly could not be beat.
The portions were large, so much that we had to ask for a to go box. Two meals, two drinks and a shared appetizer, we paid less then $ 30.00, before tip.
Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to Chinese food, or any other kind of food and their favorite restaurant. For us, Oriental Garden 2 is now added to our favorite restaurants to dine. If you are looking for good Chinese food and good service, you must give this restaurant a try.
