Zheng’s Garden

Delicious, cheap and abundant portions! If that’s what you’re looking for, this is the place. I moved to Indy six months ago and have been on the search to find great Chinese food. This is my go to now!

Tried this restaurant out last night had takeout the happy family and combination fried rice, we heard a lot of great things about this place so we tried it. I must say that it was good but not great… rice was dry and the dish had barely any meat. I was expecting more maybe I’ll try another dish later.

Takeout hit the spot, and the price is right! Little family owned place with delicious General Tso’s & Chicken Lo Mein.

a giant thing of hot and sour soup for under $ 4… a bunch of crab Rangoon for about the same… oh sweet comfort food so close to home… i love you. order and go pick up tho, unless you have endless patience and are ready to witness all sorts of clientele in all sorts of moods.

Pretty decent Chinese food at reasonable prices. The little girl that works there is extremely rude, though. Make sure to double check your order before you leave.

Good to Very Good food at average prices for takeout in the area. The guy who took my order was quite rude, and the location and parking lot are sketchy. I thought he General Tso’s chicken and Crab Rangoon were fantastic. 10 Crab Rangoon in an order for under $ 4, and they were just the right amount of sweet. The General Tso’s was crispy with a great flavor and the dish was mostly chicken with very little broccoli for filler. My husband enjoyed the Happy Family, and I’m glad he did since it was 12 bucks! The egg drop soup was bland. We’ll try it again, and I would have given it four stars just based on the food and not on the atmosphere and rudeness of the staff.

A few blocks away… from my crib is (was) a tiny unassuming little spot called Zheng’s Garden.
The people on Unilocal already declared its virtues, and so did the people on Urbanspoon.
Of course, everything on the Internet is on point, so I called in an order to pick up on my way home from work.
Egg Drop soup. yummy…check!
Hunan Beef — best I ever had! It had this peppery spice component to it that was delicious!
The man there had never seen me before, and I was asking him questions about my order.
He says.“you’re not from around here, right?” I said «no, just moved here from Cincinnati».
He says, «first time order?». «Yes».
He laughs and says «you’ll be back».
I’m definitely going back.
Zheng’s is located in the vicinity of College and 38^th, in case your GPS decides to take you down to the IMA like mine did. LOL.
Yes, it’s in the hood, lots of bums and hoodrats, but. sooo what? It’s worth it!

Quite good! We love finding good food at a hole-​in-​the-​wall place, and this is DEFINITELY a hole-​in-​the-​wall. The public area is about the size of our (galley) kitchen, and you look directly into the kitchen. There are a couple of small tables in the «dining room,» but I’d wager they’ve never been used.
We got General Tso’s Chicken, which was B+/A-. Not as orangey and spicy as some, but it was nice and crispy, and pretty darned good. The Happy Family was fresh and the flavors were distinct; I’d give it an A! it was loaded with some of everything, from chicken to lobster. Mmmmm! Definitely a winner.
And… We got Crab Rangoon, which were crisp and sweet. I think of them as Chinese cannoli. Very good.
Overall, a definite winner. We live nearby, so not doing delivery is not an issue. We spent $ 23 on the items mentioned above, and the two of us barely finished half of it.

If you are looking for the perfect Chinese dive without the soggy chicken… you’ve found it! The place itself is a little rough. I definitely wouldn’t try to eat there… there is seating for about 3.5 people. But the carry out service is quick and impressive! The food is always hot, fresh and crispy! The order taker over the phone is short and to the point, no fluff. I like it. Anytime i’m looking to stay in for a night and eat-in…this is my go-​to Chinese dive! Oh and did I mention that is super cheap?!

So before I begin, I should start off by saying that I’m a snob when it comes to Chinese food. I know what I want, and my expectations are that it is going to be the best thing ever. Needless to say, despite rave reviews from others, Zheng’s misses the mark.
I called and ordered boneless spare ribs (the greatest meal ever), and I arrived about 20 minutes later (to ensure that my food was prepared) when I arrived. Not only was my food not ready, it seemed like they didn’t even remember that I had ordered!
So, I had to wait another 20 minutes for my food to be prepared. Now I know that people make mistakes, so I wanted to give this place another chance after reading rave reviews on Unilocal.Now it didn’t help that the restaurant is about 1/5^th’s the size of an average person’s living room, so it feels more like a bus stop than a restaurant. FURTHER, given the fact that there was a mistake on their part forgetting my order, there could’ve been better customer service. (I’m not saying I wanted it to be free – but COME ON PLAYA!!!)
OK, now to the food.
EHHHH…
The fried rice was decent. The boneless spare ribs were decent. It was definitely GOOD, don’t get me wrong, but I want my Chinese to be GREAT! Unfortunately, Zheng’s Garden wasn’t great, it was meh.
On a good note, I should also mention that Zheng’s is VERY cheap, and the dinner portions are quite hearty, which is a plus.

Decent dumplings, great lunch special.

This place is clearly meant for takeout. Their food is absolutely delicious — I’ve had their chow mien and lo mien. I will say that the guy who has been there both times I’ve gone is incredibly rude. The only reason it has four stars is because the food is delicious and I only had to deal with him while I paid — I just took everything home.

I love this place. I eat here regularly, and general Tso is amazing. It’s cheap as hell and the load you up on food. Great little place to eat all around. Not fancy, but you come for the food, not the decorum. They get the order done fast and correctly as well, despite the accent barrier. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

The food here is pretty decent and super cheap. I spent $ 14 on two small entrees and a small soup and I’ve eaten leftovers for 3 days!
I would recommend takeout as the dining space is EXTREMELY small — like 3 tables. It was also ARCTIC in there when I stopped in. It was 20 outside and I was cold indoors. Must be hot in front of those gigantic woks they use.
Overall I was very pleased with the quality, quantity and service. Will definitely be back!
