About The China Garden
The China Garden is a Chinese takeaway at 78 Tangier Rd in Portsmouth, and its menu is built around choice. Chicken and beef meals sit alongside many curries, so the list covers more than one kind of main. Starters include spring rolls and a mixed starter, while salt and pepper king prawn and egg fried rice appear among the other dishes. The business runs as a takeaway, and the cooking it offers is Chinese.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply over the cooking. Those who are happy describe hot, fresh, filling food, singling out the mixed starter and the chicken and beef meals, with one noting an order that arrived well ahead of the quoted time and another praising the choice and value. A larger group is disappointed, and the curry draws the most complaints. One chicken curry was described as mostly onion with little chicken and no spice, and another tasted of nothing and was thrown away after a few mouthfuls. Spring rolls were called bland, the sweet and sour sauce watery, and portions small. One reviewer felt all three dishes had been reheated from the night before. Lateness is a second recurring complaint. One order arrived very late and the driver reportedly shrugged off cold food, while a caller asking for an ETA was told the kitchen had other orders to deal with and received no apology. A couple of reviewers also noted that the free prawn crackers or poppadoms they expected never came with their orders.

“No good, got this Chinese for my birthday with my family, portions were pathetically small, everything was watery inc sweet and sour sauce and barely any flavour across any of the dishes. No free prawn crackers after spending £80!! DO NOT RECOMMEND! 11.02.26”
- Damien Davies
“Absolutely disgraceful service!! Delivery took over an hour after the time to arrive!! The delivery driver had an appalling attitude when told the food was cold and didnt actually care and seemed to have walked round”
