My friend and I agreed that the general tso's chicken was good. it was $5.50 for the lunch special, and the hot and sour soup was good as well.
so for the 3 of us (my boyfriend got sushi), the bill came out to be $27.10, I'd say it's kind of pricey for just chinese food I mean we only ordered:
2 general tso's chicken (each $5.50 cause of lunch special)
3 sushi rolls = $9.25
1 crab rangoon $3.95
the crab rangoon was good but the inside was just warm, not hot. like it was microwaved or something.. and on the menu it said 8 pieces, we got 5 small pieces ! that really irked me. i still don't know how the bill came out to be $27, unless they charged us for water. but overall it was okay.
for a small place that certainly wasn't crowded on a Friday night, the service was mediocre. The waiter meant well, but didn't know what he was doing.
Didn't eat the Chinese, but the sashimi (mackerel, yellowtail) was pretty bad. Also had their American dream roll which was poor.
Delivery took almost an hour and a half (though I understand that sometimes comes with the territory for delivery, and the delivery person did apologize). But the delivery person did not understand that I paid with a credit card online and asked me to WAIT AT THE DOOR while he rode his bike back to the restaurant to look for a receipt. After a few minutes I went back inside and he called me and kept asking for my credit card numbers, and couldn't understand that I had already paid. Finally another person called me and after a while was able to understand that I did not want to give her my credit card numbers again because I already paid. I'm pretty easy going and can overlook this stuff but I found the food to be literally inedible. I threw 75% of it out. I would never order from here again.
I checked out Green Garden the other night for dinner after finding a menu slipped under my doorway - "Grand Opening!" Is this place actually new, or did they just never change their menus? The world may never know.
Either way, dinner was lovely. Green Garden is a BYO, so my friend Sam and I brought a bottle of wine to accompany our meal, and the waitstaff was quick to open it and bring wine glasses.
We decided to go the Japanese route (GG has both Chinese and Japanese), and for appetizers, we ordered the spicy seaweed salad and Miso soup. The soup was tasty, but overall, pretty average...but the SEAWEED SALAD! was! INCREDIBLE! -- rich, fresh, and flavorful. I never thought I'd say this, but I could eat seaweed salad allllll day long.
Now Sam and I didn't particularly look like restaurant reviewers (probably because we're not...and in fact, we were both clad in crappy tee shirts and jeans) but for some delightful and unexplained reason, the waitress also brought over a complimentary tuna dumpling, which was light and delectable....mmm. We were almost full by the time our sushi arrived!
I ordered the spicy roll combo (just $13!) and Sam the Maki combo -- both came with 3 rolls, arranged beautifully on large platters. It was a struggle to finish them all (so many!) but they were so yummy (ESP the spicy tuna roll) that I stuffed myself anyway.
The bill came out to about $30 -- a reasonable amount for any young, broke hooligan. I will definitely return again soon!
This is a great local source for your basic chinese food. Love the cold sesame noodles, sauteed chicken, General Tso's chicken. Very fast delivery too.
I've been here so many times because of its timely service. The staff is usually friendly and like I said, you get your food at a very reasonable pace whether you're dining in or taking out.
My dish of the moment is the chicken ho-fun. I love noodles. Which is probably why I've gained weight. That's besides the point. I still need more soy sauce when I order this though.
I have yet to try the sushi and other Japanese items they offer. The restaurant was recently renovated and it looks really nice inside. It has a really quiet and dim ambiance and there is now a sushi chef who makes your sushi fresh by some really nice decorations!
If paying by card, you need a $10 minimum, fyi.
Don't get the sushi. Not fresh, rubbery, and thick "slices" on the nigiri. My tuna was border line purple. I couldn't even finish my meal because I felt grossed out.
yup, another update...i ordered a spicy tuna roll this weekend and found some scales sprinkled in the roll. yes, fish scales. never again.

i came here the other day for the cooked sushi platter and it was awful and bland. the unagi still… Read more »
OOoo! I'm loving this new Chinese restaurant! The place is small but somehow not cramped. It's casual and kid friendly (in fact you'll have cooing waitresses making your baby feel like a celebrity). The menu has all the classic Chinese take-out dishes you adore, but it also has a few fusion tibits if you're tasting for a bit of Korean or Japanese food.
I had Kimichi yaki udon (Korean spicy cabbage over fat Japanese noodles) and wow what a great idea! The crispy duck is also fantastic. I can't wait to try their lunch special: Japanese bento boxes.
i've only had delicery from green garden once but i feel quite good giving it at least a four star rating. the mushu (which i hadn't had in forever) was perfect, crunchy and soft at the same time. i ordered the vegetarian version (not feeling very meaty) and it was excellent.
i also had the house special wonton soup, and it had delicious wontons in it (thinner skinned than other places, which i prefer). i would probably just get the regular wonton next time since there was too much stuff (chicken, pork and lots of veggies. all good, but i like my broth. :) ). i will definitely order from them again. the total for these two items was around $13 and i easily got three meals out of it. yay!
Pleasant atmosphere and kid friendly. The food was fine, some of it is obviously frozen fare and pre-packaged, not bad but not the best I've had. I will say that they have some unique items on the menu like the Japanese Udon noodle dishes (6 of them) as well as Bento Boxes during the lunch hour. They do have a buffet in the afternoon but it shuts down at dinner.
