Today a group of friends and I had lunch at Chinese Garden, I've eaten here on and off since 1999. Something has changed, I almost asked if they had changed owners. Everyone's food tasted different from before, and by different I meant not good! I only had a few bites of mine, the sweet and sour pork tasted "off". The rice was not very fresh. I had so much food left on my plate I was asked three times if I wanted a to go box and I said no! We won't be going back, the food is not worth it any longer, it's too bad because this area does not have many really good oriental places to eat such as Chico or Roseville or Sacramento.

Tell me what business argues with the customer when the order is wrong NONE THAT I EVER BEEN TOO I CANT BELIEVE IT AND THEN I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO ORDER WHAT I DIDN'T GET AND KEEP THE FOOD I DIDN'T WANT THEY ARE RUDE AND I'M GOING TO LET EVERYONE I KNOW KNOW IT I FEEL THEY ARE RACIST BECAUSE THEY DIDNT ARGUE ABOUT ME BRING IT BACK UNTIL I GOT THERE I HAVE NEVER WROTE A REVIEW BEFORE BUT I AM SO ANGRY AND SHOCKED UNREAL

My family has eaten here as long as Kings been open. We absolutely love it. it's far from a dive. It's a traditional restaurant of yesteryear. The staff is awesome. They have always been friendly and helpful. In fact when my kids were babies the waitresses took turns carrying them around loving them. The food is exceptional. Prices are fair. Its the only Chinese place I'll eat. My family will always be loyal customer King and family.

Have eaten here approx a dozen times over the past 10 yrs. Food is 'ok' but very overpriced for what you receive. Kind of a dive - needs to REALLY be cleaned. Has always and continues to advertise DELIVERY but they do not & never have. I noticed they're quick to interrupt people while ordering (the female servers-family run.) This has been a reoccuring problem. When ordering Dinner for 3, 4, or 5-The amount of portions you receive on serving dishes (or take out boxes) is exactly the same yet you're paying a much higher rate as these meals are 'Family Style.' I guess things would be so disappointing if they were more polite and their dish portions reflected what people were ordering... if people need enough rice, chow mein, broc beef, sweet/sour pork, etc... for 3-4+ ppl they need to order 2 separate orders of each dish otherwise you're paying a lot more $ but receiving exactly the same amount of food. We enjoy great food & have no problem paying a premium for it which includes good service & a clean environment. This location may be iconic in this area and I genuinely wish there were more places that were - but just because the door has stayed open over time doesn't mean standards do not apply. Just making some very realistic modifications could change the way a lot of people feel about visiting. I think everyone would really like to see family run businesses in our community thrive... just give a little back.

The restaurant is a dive but the food is always really good. I think it's the best chinese restaurant in town

I read some pretty good reviews for this restaurant so I took my husband to try it out. He is not a cheapskate but the first thing he noticed when we looked at our menus was that the prices are NOT as low as he expected and the food, unfortunately, was not worth the price. It's just too bad there aren't any good chinese restaurants in this area.

Pros: YUMMY fried wontons and fried rice

Cons: Higher prices, food does not stand out

The food is authentic, made with fresh ingredients, and they will make it the way you want. Service is fast and friendly, but it is family run and as they will get to know you it is a lot of fun. Great food, great people and great value for your dollar.
