| - I have been here a few times and I have to admit that Garden Restaurant delivers not so much because their food is amazing. As it is not. However it is simple, well done and reliable. I remember their old location and what a dump it was back then, but the food was always tasty.
However once you thrown in the modern and attractive, dark-wood heavy decor, then this place stand above the typical hole in the call that is most Chinese restaurants in the strip/hood.
I would say the restaurant is a relatively cheap and tasty option for when you are in the hood and yes, sometimes you have the feeling that this is not a "let's stay and linger over a glass of wine," kinda of place. No, they are in the business of "feeding you and once you have done that, please get out and lets get more people in."
Is that a bad thing? No, I really don't think so, as this place is generally so busy that you yourself will be wanting to leave once you eat.
Now, just remember, this place can get packed... and by packed I mean ridiculously packed. Specially post-club hungry patrons desperately looking for a place to eat.
In fact last time I was there, it was so packed that getting out of the restaurant past the unholy group of people waiting for a table was the hardest thing to do out of the whole visit!
That aside, if you are with a large group of friends and want to eat at a relatively nice looking place with a reliable and competent kitchen, then you can't go wrong with Garden Restaurant.
