  • We are regular customers and have always found the food to be good with large portions. The service is very friendly and the restaurant is always clean. Delivery does take awhile and the crispy beef isn't as crispy when we get it, but that's to be expected. It is much better if you can eat in.

  • Order: Spring rolls, hot and sour soup, house special crispy beef

  • I often order take out food from this place. It is a reliable, though unspectacular place for such things as Cantonese chow mein, Singapore noodles, etc. Egg foo yung is also pretty good here. When I say that they are reliable, I mean that I have never experienced overcooking, too much msg, too much oil, etc. They know what they are doing and the price is right.

  • Order: Cantonese Chow Mein and Mushroom Foo Yung

  • Best chinese food in KW, no argument. Food is always awesome and they are so nice, particularly the son. Hot and sour soup is the best I have ever had - usually really spicy. Egg rolls and spring rolls are a bit greasy in my opinion but I rarely order them.

  • Order: Lemon chicken; but have also ordered crispy beef, hot & sour soup, egg rolls, singapore vermacelli...

  • I really like chinese food, so I decided to order some while I was at home alone. I don't have a car so I had to get it delivered to me... even though I live five minutes away driving, it was almost ten dollars to have it delivered.

    The food was okay, but when I was ordering on the phone, the lady barely paid attention to me.

  • Order: (2) sweet and sour chicken balls chicken fried rice

  • The food was great, large in quantity, and it totally fit my budget. They said it would take 15 minutes for the food, but when we got there we ended up waiting another half-hour for our food. However, the servers were very friendly. I drop in there almost weekly for just to snack on their one dollar egg rolls.

  • Working next door to the restaurant, I've ordered the 'Combinated Special for One' (as listed above) so many times, and I've never been disappointed with the choice. The food is always great and there is always SO MUCH of it! I don't think I've ever finished it all off in one sitting. The service at University Garden is unbeatable. These people are genuinely nice and want to get to know their customers, whether its your 1st time coming, or your 101st, you won't be disappointed!

  • Order: Egg Roll, Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken Fried Rice

  • Great food on a small budget. Very kind server, good atmosphere. Food is not super high quality, but is excellent for the $12.50 i paid. Huge heap of food on a large dish. SPRING ROLLS ARE THE BEST IN TOWN!!!

  • Order: Lemon Chicken w/chicken fried rice, szchewan beef, spring roll
