This restaurant sits in the heart of Chinatown and is near the MCI center. It has two dining rooms with plenty of space. The restaurant caters to Chinese patrons as well as to westerners. The Chinese patrons can choose from shredded tripe, intestines, salty scallops, sea cucumbers and more. The other menu has more familiar fare including orange beef, lemon chicken, triple delight and shredded crispy beef. And afterwards you can head down to a big game down the block.

I actually thought that this was the BEST Chinese food I had EVER eaten and it ruined my ability to order takeout back home because it just didn't measure up. the service was just fine also. We ordered shrimp toast (out of this world) and the fried rice was just fantastic (chicken). We had shrimp and chicken lo mein as well which was also fantastic. I would not hesitate to go back there. they were very family friendly too. I especially love the turntable in the center of the table so everyone can share their dishes.

The first thing I noticed was that half of the staff working at the restaurant were not happy. Soon, I found out just why they are not in a good mood. The food was so terrible that I bet not much tip were left for these workers. The eggrolls we got were dripping with oil. I had never had an eggroll where when you pick it up, oil just drips out of the other end non-stop. And the two main dishes we had…. One dish, the fried noodle was not fully cooked, and it was very salty. The other dish (beef noodle soup) had no taste what so ever. I had never thought it’s possible to have BAD Chinese food in an authentic Chinese restaurant. But Chinatown Garden made I’m a true believer out of me. This was just a painfully pathetic experience. If you want to show your friends just how terrible Chinese food can be, this is the joint to proof your point.

I have been to Chinatown Gardens many times over a period of years when I visit my brother in Washington,DC. Unfortunately, I never bothered to note the name of this restaurant until my most recent visit a few weeks ago. However, I did remember Chinatown Gardens by site. The food and service was as good as when I first ate there many years ago. It will now be a regualar stop when I am in DC.
