Asian Garden - Athens (TX)

5 /5 Jamie Duran: Wow!! What an amazing find! This is by far the best Chinese food restaurant I have found! The food is so fresh and delicious. No old oil flavors. The soups are not packaged but fresh made. The sesame balls were crisp and not overly sweet! I had a special sweet rice stir fry and I am absolutely spoiled. How can I enjoy other Chinese restaurants now! Wonderful mom and pop! You won’t be disappointed. They are cooking like their family is eating.

1 /5 Sylvester Cyriac: I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I ordered the imperial beef with fried rice, and it was terrible. The fried rice tasted more like sticky rice—completely off texture and flavor. As for the beef, it was drenched in oily soy sauce that tasted overwhelmingly sour, making the dish nearly inedible. The only saving grace was that they canceled the item from our check, but that doesn’t make up for the lackluster food. Definitely won’t be returning.

5 /5 jimmy yoyo: Absolutely amazing restaurant! The food here is incredibly delicious — fresh ingredients and great flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi or classic Chinese dishes, everything is cooked to perfection. The service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. One of the best Asian restaurants I’ve been to. Highly recommended!

3 /5 Maria Granados: The food is just okay. The dumplings tasted like pure flour and were chewy. The peanuts tasted weird, and there was a lot of celery on my plate. We received the check right when we were eating, which was uncomfortable. The service was definitely poor.

5 /5 Eric A: Listen; if you want some darn good homemade Chinese. Come here. They’re the kindest people ever. Food is really great. Be patient with them. As they cook it fresh for you. Very peaceful too. Love this place and been here a handful of times and it never fails.
