Green Garden

Food was much better in the past. I ordered chicken and broccoli for take out. I went
to pick it up 10 minutes later and it was not ready. I waited another 10 minutes (which was
no big deal) and took it back to my office. I figured it was hot off the press… WRONG.
All the food was cold like it was reheated. Never again.

On a recent Friday evening, Green Garden was one of the few places in the area that could accommodate a large group that did not have a reservation. Although their dining room was not full during that popular dining-​out time, they seemed to be doing a brisk delivery business.
GG is BYOB so when a couple magnums of wine were produced, they provided all of us wine glasses and a corkscrew to open the bottles.
The menu is extensive and includes a variety of Chinese and sushi dishes. The sushi included an eggplant roll, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. It had a toothsome crunch and pleasing flavor and I’ll likely get it again. All of the rolls I got (yellowtail, Alaska, sweet potato, and the eggplant) were tasty and well made. The Chinese food looked and smelled appetizing, and the green beans I sampled were nicely seasoned.
The décor is generic. Service is friendly. Prices are very reasonable.

My friends and I go here at least once a week, if not twice. I haven’t gotten anything from there that I didn’t like. Sure, the inside is dimly lit and not the most gorgeous, but I don’t even care because the food is fabulous.

Worst food and service ever. Do not order from here. I threw my entire order out after waiting 1 hr and 45 minutes for it.
The sushi tasted so foul and I had to get rid of it immediately.
Disgusting!!! Hopefully I don’t get sick from the nasty sushi.

food was food especially the sushi and the delivery was super fast at least to me it was perfect. very good restaurant.

I was introduced to Green Garden by a very dear friend after a taking our daughters to see a play at the Walnut Theater. Their SST roll is my new favorite. My daughter and her friend really enjoyed their entrees. Will be back again with husband.

We got the following for delivery: spicy salmon roll, spicy yellowtail roll, deluxe veggie roll and general tso shrimp. The spicy salmon and spicy yellowtail were fine.
My beef is with the deluxe veggie roll. The menu does not mention it has avocado in it but it did have a sliver of avocado and I am allergic. The roll did not match up at all with what the ingredients were on the menu. My boyfriend tried it and said it was gross. It went in the trash.
The general tso shrimp was also so so.
Delivery was on time and price was good.

Don’t let the outside fool you, this place is legit. The sushi is phenom (not that I would know the difference) but I can say the Chinese food is really good. Egg rolls, fried WonTon, and loMein are all top-​notch. It’s also a BYOB, highly recommend!

Green Garden is one of my go-​tos for my Asian delivery needs. Solid and tasty food in both the Chinese and Japanese categories and deserving of a 3.5 rating. My hubby and I stumbled upon the actual restaurant years ago when a nearby restaurant we were trying to go to closed down. I call that food fate. Now Green Garden is totally across town from where we live and not really worth the trip for the dining experience. However, they are on Seamless, don’t charge a delivery fee and are always fairly prompt. Win, win, win.
On the most recent occasion, my hubby and I decided to order the Chinese lunch special for delivery. Their lunch specials are really reasonably priced. For $ 5.50– $ 6.25 you get a ton of food. We went with the Hot and Spicy Beef (hold the shrimp) and the Chicken with Eggplant and Garlic sauce. You get your choice of egg roll or soup and all dishes come with fried rice. We both went with wonton soup, and substituted one white rice and one brown rice for the fried rices. We also got an order of Singapore noodles with chicken to split.
All of our special orders came correctly. The food came about 50 minutes after ordering. Our estimated time was 30 – 45 minutes but I’ll give them a pass since our area was enduring parade traffic. The packaging was a little off though. They gave us 3 forks but no spoons. There were no crunchy noodles either.
As far as the food goes, this was more than enough food for both our lunch and dinner. The soup came in pint containers and everything else came in the plastic white containers. The wonton soup isn’t the best but definitely not bad. There were no pieces of pork aside from the wanton and minimal scallions. The wontons weren’t overly stuffed either. The broth itself was good though. The Singapore noodles were awesome. You can see the red pepper flakes and taste the spice. They aren’t just hot but very flavorful as well. The garlic sauce for the chicken and eggplant is not overly spicy but it is packed with flavor. The chicken was tender and pre-​cut into almost bite sized pieces and soaked up the sauce nicely. Same with the eggplant. The rest of the sauce was soaked up nicely by my brown rice.
If they keep delivering, I’ll keep ordering.

My new go-​to chinese/​japanese place since moving to the city. I haven’t gotten delivery from here before since it’s a block and a half away from me, so I just get take out, but they’re pretty quick. I normally head in, pay and if it’s not done yet, I stand outside and smoke a cigarette, and they come out and hand me my food, which I think is nice. All of the employees are really nice to me when I’m there. The sushi is great, and as a vegetarian, I appreciate the freshness of the avocado. General Tso’s tofu is on point as well. Have yet to try most of the menu, but I won’t be needing to Unilocal through other asian food places.

Green Garden is the perfect place to eat before you drop a top of cash on tickets to the Walnut Street Theater — or just if you’re in the mood for really good sushi at a very reasonable price when you consider the area!
Their Green Garden Special Menu for sushi is really large — and I love their use of fruits & fruit sauce in their rolls. You don’t find an excess of that everywhere — but they definitely have a ton of quirky options that are really quite tasty. Their sushi has also always been very fresh when I’ve had it — they’re not the fastest in prep — but it’s definitely fresh. Since there are so many options for their rolls, I’ll definitely be back to keep trying more.

Best kung pao in the city. I am an expert. Also it is cool to have decent sushi delivered. My wife just told me to tell you that their fried rice is gross. But what does she know.

We love this place because the Chinese food is very light and fresh. Never too oily. However, I don’t give it five stars because we never eat in the restaurant. It just does not seem like a nice place to have a meal. We always order delivery. Try the chicken with mushrooms.

This place is a block away from my apartment. Small, no-​frills, but good sushi. I’m so excited to have a go-​to sushi place so close to where I live!

For a low-​cost Chinese place with free delivery, Green Garden is quite good. I’ve tried the standard Americanized Chinese dishes, all of which were good for what they are. The sushi is quite good, too, and very reasonably priced. I stop by regularly for a maki roll and steamed veggie gyoza.
The lady who works the register deserves a special shoutout. She just epitomizes the efficiency and work ethic that good restaurant owners should all aspire to.

Vegetarians take head: they have great vegetarian sushi!
I can’t be the only person who delayed becoming a complete vegetarian because of my deep abiding love for sushi. Now that I have been a strict vegetarian for a while, I am still craving sushi and looking for places that actually have options for me. Green Garden does a great job in this department – I went there or got take-​out three times in my one-​week business trip. If you go at lunch the prices are a little reduced and you get free soup or salad.
Avocado roll: great
sweet potato tempura roll: great (has a teriyaki sauce on top)
eggplant tempura roll: same sauce, not as good though as eggplant has less flavor
cucumber roll: good
asparagus roll: only ok, the asparagus was more cooked than I like
vegetable roll: good, mix of veggies
they also have pickled oshinko roll, and two special rolls that I didn’t get to try but that sound really good with mango. I highly recommend their veggie sushi!
They can’t always be so fast, surely, but the two times I got take-​out it was less than 20 minutes from order to leaving.
I only tried two items off the Chinese side of the menu: vegetarian lo mein was good and hit the spot for simple comfort noodles, the broccoli with garlic sauce was drenched in a whopping amount of oil and I can’t recommend it.

Since Green Garden seems to be getting no Unilocal love, I feel it my duty to follow up now that I have dined in for their Japanese food.
Once again I was here for their lunch specials. Two of us split the three roll lunch special and a new 6 piece sushi/​1 specialty roll lunch special. Both came with a bowl of miso soup which hit the spot on this rainy day. Nothing special, but not too salty which seems to happen to often all too much at Japanese joints. All three rolls were great: the spicy yellowtail, Philadelphia, and shrimp tempura. The 6 pieces of sushi were 2 tuna/​2 salmon and 2 of what I think were red snapper? Either way all were very fresh and well crafted. This also had the American dream roll which was a winner with the mango sauce.
The service was just eh which was disappointing since they were not too busy. Took them a long time to come over, make the food, clear the food, etc. Its a small point but I’m not a fan of places that only offer canned soda like here. Nonetheless, $ 30 with tip for this feast will have me coming back soon.

The best thing about this place are the mysterious green Japanese candies in the dish by the cash register.
Their cryptic Kanji characters are scintillating. Is that a kiwi fruit? A star fruit? A hemisection of a pickled kidney? Who knows? It’s a surprise.
It was also a surprise when the place was empty at about 8pm on a Friday, yet it still took 30 minutes to make two rolls and an order of nigiri takeout that tasted kinda fishy.
Sure glad they had those candies, though! Decrypting their wrappers and analyzing their exotic flavor reminiscent of green tea, honeydew melon, lemongrass and other green things was very entertaining.

I’ve been here a few times now, usually out of convenience when looking for quick sushi. The sushi is average with a big menu at decent prices… which would usually mean three stars from me. BUT My latest trip here will most likely be my last, as both my girlfriend and I were sick immediatly after eating here… gross.
Skip it for other sushi options in the area.

I ordered the steamed chicken with mixed vegetables and while I didn’t like it, my dog sure did. The chicken looked like something you would’ve dissected in high school biology class.
One extra star though because they delivered in the middle of this blizzard.
