Garden Fresh: Reviews & Ratings
Basil tempura is in my rotations now. I love the food here and the owners are wonderful people I've gotten to know through the years of visiting this establishment. Will be back soon!
Great fake meat dishes for vegans and vegetarians. Love the orange chicken and basil tempura
Great find! Friendly folks, quick service, super casual atmosphere, and an extensive menu of delicious vegan food. You can't go wrong here -- and even the simple dishes like Hot & Sour Soup and Sautéed Vegetables were very good.
I had a very positive experience here when dining with my partner! The staff (I think they're the owners!) were super kind. It really felt like a local, family owned spot. Casual and nice. The food was also very yummy and satisfying. It was a plus that it's also vegetarian. I recommend!
This has been one of our favorite restaurants since... maybe 2007? A long time. I like eating healthy and the food here is basically vegetables and protein. My kids love it, too, so for years it's been one of our go-tos for those tired evenings when we get take-out, an easy yet still sensibly healthy dinner. And the lady who runs it is super sweet, a lovely owner.
Finally made it to Garden Fresh for dinner on Friday night April 7 2023. My friend who was visiting is vegan. It was a great opportunity to try it. Very good food, very good service. Everything we ordered was excellent. Restaurant is small but it is comfortable. Owner is very friendly and personable. I highly recommend Garden Fresh.
The food here is full of flavor, and phenomenal. I have to drive far just to eat here, I wish there were more locations! But I definitely make the trip. My favorite thing to get is the Veggie Bundles, the "chicken" chow mein, and the veggie ribs and mongolian chicken. I feel like all the crispy stuff like the lemon chicken and orange chicken tends to get soggy if you get it on doordash or to go by the time you get home so eating it there when its fresh is SO worth it. Even though its simple, the won ton soup is always so comforting to me and honestly can not find any chinese food within a 20 mi radius that does a vegetarian wonton soup like this. Love this ppplaaaccce
I forgot to take the initial photos of the food we ordered. But as you can see - it was totally devoured.
2 words - flavorful and delicious. *chef's kiss*
Will definitely be back here again
Items:
Vegetable Hot and Sour Noodle Soup
Vegetarian Duck
Vegi Ribs
Vegi Chicken Chow Fun
I did not realize I had ordered vegan food until I arrived at Garden Fresh, which is totally my fault! So a few dishes were a first for me. I was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious all of the items were, be it the "prawn" dishes and all. The flavor was fantastic on everything! We had hot and sour soup, egg rolls and honey walnut prawns. I will be back for sure!
