When you first glance inside China Garden, you might not think much of it. However, that is a mistake that could cost you great food. This Chinese restaurant takes pride in making authentic Chinese food, and it has certainly delivered. Personally, I love sesame chicken. I recently ordered the sesame chicken to go, and I ended up paying only $5.42 for my entire meal. If you’re on the go or craving good authentic Chinese food, then check out China Garden.
