China Garden Bahia Vista

This is my favorite Chinese food place in Sarasota. The food is always good. Quick delivery and they are very friendly

I don't know why so many bad reviews you get what you pay for this is take Chinese and it's really not bad at all this isn't supposed to be a 5 star restaurant this is Chinese street food with some extra options available

Very good, we had a party and everyone like everything.

My husband I eat in restaurants frequently, and in many different countries. Today we had a terrible experience in this Chinese restaurant: Although they have tables and chairs for eat-in dining, this is obviously just a takeout place. The soup was served in a plastic take-out container, and the main dishes on a plastic plate. We both had the Wonton Soup, which had broth and wontons with almost no flavor. When I inquired about ordering Wor Wonton soup, which is the same basic soup but adding vegetables, chicken, shrimp, and pork, the man at the counter didn't know what I was talking about, and said they don't offer it. Anyone operating with normal intelligence and flexibility would offer to make it, charging the appropriate extra amount for the more deluxe variety with the added ingredients, all of which they have in their kitchen.The Triple Delight, a photo of which above the counter showed a generous variety of chicken, shrimp, and beef. My plate had 1 small shrimp, a few pieces of beef and almost no chicken, some bell pepper, and a massive quantity of hard, large broccoli chunks that comprised at least three quarters of the total food served. My husband ordered beef with snow peas and had a little bit more meat than I did, but every second piece of beef was as tough and chewy as a rubber ball, and certainly not fun to eat!Both main courses were filled with vegetables; you could search for the meat like a pirate for his treasure.The worst part: we talked to the two workers and showed them that I have 80% broccoli on my plate and almost no meat, chicken, or shrimp. But they pretended not to understand English, were talking to each other and giggling at us while my husband and I were leaving. That is absolutely unprofessional and rude. We will never eat there again.A restaurant serving food of this quality wouldn't last six months in a city like New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco, where wonderful Chinese food is plentiful at hundreds if not thousands of restaurants. Somehow this place can operate successfully here in Sarasota.

A one star because the food was hot. Beef and broccoli and chicken cashew dinners we're very greasy/ oily rather tasteless. Two very small extremely overcooked dried out egg roll. Drove extra to get there because it had a 4.6 rating. That's unbelievable. Other than being hot the cookies were good.
