  Twenty years ago when another Chinese Buffet came to town they had buffet wars. We literally ate lunch everyday as cheap as $1.50. China Garden won the battle and had been the only Chinese in the area. I miss those days. Quality has slowly gone down hill to the point of a weekly carry out being a monthly carry out to no carry out.
  I miss the old China Garden where quality mattered. It's time for another Chinese restaurant to come to town. Unfortunately we are done eating here. I say this as someone who has been a patron from the time they opened. I am happy the original owners retired but not that China Garden retired along with them.

  The worst Chinese food ever. Good people not the food, it's not good at all. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with those faded old picture of Chinese food. The cook made us beef and broccoli added some peppers and called it Mongolian beef, you folks should be ashamed of your selves....

  This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. Not anymore. I always get General Tso's. For the past year or so, it had been less than quality. I still try every couple of months, hoping that it was an off day but no, it's just not like it used to be. Disappointed

  I'm coming to like Chinese food less and less - too oily. I also doesn't help that I recently visited San Fransisco, where the Asian cuisine is fresh and on pointe. But that's me, and not this joint's fault.
  
  I stopped at China Garden because it was one of the few things open late on Dowagiac's charming main drag on a Saturday night.
  
  Got the garlic broccoli and vegetable lo main. The broccoli was a good texture, but I could have used more visible garlic in the sauce. Lo main was ok too, though on the oily side.
  
  Unfortunately, I forgot to ask if they use MSG, so ended up with a red, itchy face after supper. Fellow MSG allergy sufferers beware!
  
  Service on the first dish was ok; I had to go back and ask about the second.
  
  Decor is typical basic chinese take-out, with red good-luck signs taped up. Kitchen floor looked clean and well mopped.
