Wow, I'm very surprised at some of these negative reviews of such a great restaurant! Please ignore, just try them & see for yourself! Some people are simply never happy. Yummy Garden has excellent service, fair prices & delicious food, they've been in business for many years, and a favorite amongst locals, so that should say something. I first tried them in the early 2000's, they were good then & still good now! We ordered pork fried rice, chicken lo mein & chicken fingers (007) on our most recent takeout order & everything was top notch taste & freshness. Nothing was under or over cooked & they did a perfect job with accuracy, remembering our extra soy & duck sauces. They have a wide variety of different selections on their menu too, so something for everyone. Yummy Garden does not disappoint & I would certainly recommend them for anyone who is interested in quality Chinese food. To be honest, many area restaurants that also serve Chinese are pretty undesirable, same cannot be said here though! I'm actually wondering if the lousy reviews were meant for another place? I've never had a bad meal here, or otherwise poor experience with Yummy Garden. We've dined in & ordered take out before. Friendly staff too.

Always enjoyed their food and staff is friendly. Family owned. Bar is good. They're really easy going with substitutions where as other places would have a fit and start talking down on you in Chinese. My family and I have been buying food from them for years and love supporting them. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

We love this place! Always friendly, accommodating, and delicious! The vegetables in the fried rices are amazing, the crab rangoons are full of cream cheese and never too greasy. The servings are plentiful and the atmosphere perfect. Sometimes we have to remind them to include sweet sauce in their take out bags, but overall, this place is the best, and so close to home!

My wife and I just came back from Yummy Garden and the food was very, very good. Started off with a pot of Hot Tea and the wife had a Mai Tai. I had Hot & Sour Soup and for apps we had Peking Ravioli ( Potsticker ) Pan Fried and an order of Chicken Fingers each of the apps were cooked to perfection. The entrees were Shrimp and Lobster Sauce ( Brown Lobster Sauce ) I asked for it to be served over a bed of Pan Fried Noodles and they had no problem accommodating that request and my wife had the Chicken Lo Mein. Each were cooked perfectly and we had plenty to take home with us. The restaurant itself could use some updating but is nice and clean with attentive waitstaff.
