Used to go here all the time a few years ago. Thought I might be missing better food elsewhere so tried some other places. Went back here Christmas Day 2023 and my mother got food poisoning...thanks folks. I think I'll go back to the other places.

My meal was delicious. I can’t speak for service directly or atmosphere as I had the food delivered via Uber Eats, but this was almost precisely what I wanted and I am a hard customer to please.My two misgivings are that the crab rangoons were a tad soggy on the bottom, and the broccoli in the general Gau’s chicken was a little tough.However whatever the detractors, the positives far outweigh them. The chicken, though white meat which is usually not my fave, was prepared and fried perfectly and was both juicy inside and crispy outside. The amount of sauce was just right. Four rangoons came with the combo meal which seems reasonably generous, filling tasted just right. I also upgraded the combo with a second app accompaniment— got an egg roll which was just right with cabbage and pork filling. Duck sauce was not too sweet and had that nice hint of fruit flavor that reminds me of applesauce— just right. Fried rice was not mushy nor was it dry, just right, with a wonderful little bit of smokiness/molasses flavor, a little bean sprout and a sprinkling of nice pork pieces.Base price excluding delivery fees and tip for the driver was around $20 and it’s easily enough for two filling meals (The photo i included was after I ate half at least).I look forward to trying other dishes in future!

As a long time resident of Westie, I have utilized West Garden for Chinese cuisine for many years. The management has changed a few times, but the current owners and staff are the very best. Their food is always extremely fresh and cooked to perfection. Their friendly and courteous service is superior to others.

Best sweet and sour chicken finger sauce, no joke. I've eaten food all across this country and this has the best pink sauce.

I got lo-mein and there is no skill that goes into making it. The noodles were apparently reheated on the grill because they were burnt, covered in black marks and tidbits and tasted burnt as well. Since I'm pregnant I asked them if it came with bean sprouts and they did, so I asked them to hold them. Apparently nothing else comes in the lo-mein because all I got was noodles and beef. No veggies, no seasonings or salt, no nuts or texture of any kind. It was disgusting.

The freshest made to order food made in front of you. I have been coming here since high school. 32 now and if I'm ever in the area I have to stop by. The owner is an amazing father and was always so nice and welcoming to my friends and I. Love West Garden!

Never order wonton soup from here! I ordered wonton soup under the impression there was going to be pork. I get home and there's nothing but pasta. The soup is pink looking. No taste at all. I paid in cash and called them to tell them I want my money back. The lady said no refund. I asked what Can you give me for food. She said you get what you paid for and that's their style of wonton of soup which comes with no pork in it. Never again. Avoid paying them in cash.

Salt and pepper shrimp are good but really spicy and crab Rangoon is decent. So far this place has been the best for Chinese fast food in W. Roxbury. It seems there aren’t good places around here for Chinese food.

Nothing I ordered was fresh, it's a shame this place used to be pretty good. Now the food is kind of bad and the employees don't even want to deal with

Mr. Kelley
I placed an order that was over cooked and wrong. The woman that answered the phone started yelling at me like it was my fault. I will NEVER support that business again.

I was in mood for wings. Roches was my wing spot but 7 pm they shut down hot food? Went here as near Roches... 9.50 for 5 wings is almost 2 bucks a wing? Bland taste... need soy or teriyaki ginger root marinade ... duck sauce was so watered down... dripped off wings before could eat? Clearly going for prices without concern to attach return customers. I was actually going to Pupu chines further down street , but was confused this place was them... maybe other items are better?
