China Garden Express

I don’t know what it is about fast food Chinese, but I love it. This eating establishment caters to the young, hip, Jr College students looking for Panda, that don’t have a ride to Dinuba. As pathetic as that sounds, this place is good! It’s super clean in here. I pretended to be Anthony Melchiorri, because I couldn’t spot anything to complain about.
Then I found it.
The large red paper lanterns.
Look up.
They’re dusty.
Hah! Enjoy this spot for what it is! Fast Chinese food! I had their chow mein with sides of orange chicken and peppered chicken. Holy cow I will never eat here again, without ordering pepper chicken. The closer you visit to closing time, the more food your dollar will get you BTW.
Check it out! You’ll like it!

I wish I would of checked Unilocal before coming in. I ordered a salad. This is the plainest, most unhealthy salad I’ve ever had. It seriously looks like they threw a bag of shredded iceberg lettuce, some bagged shredded carrots and some chicken in a box. Its terrible.

Food was tasteless, price too high for quality of food. I would suggest spending your money elsewhere.

The food taste horrible! I hate the won ton soup! And the orange chicken it’s mushy and it taste horrible!

This is Chinese fast food — it is not gourmet, it shouldn’t be considered anything more than fast food. You go in, order from behind glass partitions, and get your food on a tray. It is fast food. For what it is, it is really good. I really enjoy it and am never disappointed.

Compared to other Chinese food options in Reedley I give this place 4 stars. Compared to the best Chinese in a big city I would give it 2.75. Ordering from the kitchen makes all the difference too. The pre-​made dishes are mediocre at best while the kitchen options such as the wonton soup are significantly better. Service has always been good, employees are friendly, and the price is right.

Ok, china garden EXPRESS… express in chinese means buffet, i forgot. so dial down your expectations… this is fast food chinese. as fast food chinese goes every bit as good (though not the variety) of its nation wide competitor also an express. Clean place, friendly staff, wanted fried shrimp but only available as extra side dish so went with the express plate. a two item one at that. there were 6 – 8 entrees to choose from and rice or noodles. i combod the rice and noodles, went with two item kung po chicken and sweet and sour pork.
good overall. looking for more snap in the noodles but hey, remember express! they were ok with good mix of vegs. not sure if rice was supposed to be vegetarian… but it was… nice amount of egg and misc… rice was pretty tasty stuff… but no meat of any kind that i could tell.
entrees were both pretty tasty as well. the kung po chicken had as advertised kick… the pork was really good also with a nice mix of vegs… all this for 5.75 and instant!
not a massive plate, but filling and a little bit left for the dog who loved it all. if in reedley and want some fast and pretty tasty chinese food give them a try… you could do way, way worse!

Worse «Chinese Food» I have ever had!
My family and I decided to try China Garden Express since my wife heard from a friend that they had really good soup. We ordered Wor Won Ton noodle soup, Orange Chicken, Chow Mein, green beans & steamed rice. The soup was just OK; nothing special. My daughter told me the orange chicken tasted «funny». I tried it and it tasted OK, but there was little chicken and a lot of batter. The chow mein was just noodles and bean sprouts. The best tasting part of our meal were the green beans and steamed white rice.
The cooks are not Chinese and it would be an insult to call this «Chinese food» .
