“ Absolutely phenomenal! China Garden is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in the country. Yes that is right. Not just in Estes. Not just in CO. The best in the USA. Every dish is crafted to perfection, and you can taste the passion in every bite. Lee is a true genius in the kitchen...her culinary skills are unmatched, and her warmth makes every visit feel special. I recently had the General Tso’s chicken with fried rice, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and just the right amount of heat.

If you haven’t been to China Garden yet, you’re missing out on something truly special. I can’t wait to go back! ”
“ The best place to get Chinese food in Estes. My family and I love asian food and try it everywhere we travel. For me, it is the best Chinese food I’ve had. It is extremely affordable and delicious. They do not offer you to dine in, but the weather is so nice you can take it to wherever you’re staying and enjoy it outside. ”
“ Consistent food made by the same husband and wife for the last 20 years I’ve been in town . They never upcharged during the pandemic although I don’t believe eat in dining will ever come back, the portions are large the food is always tasty perfectly spiced and I appreciate I can have Chinese one night and Thai the next as their menu offers both. This is one of the most consistent restaurants in our small town and I’m glad to be a regular ”
“ Best Asian food in town. The curry is incredible. Seriously ignore the bad reviews. Estes gets lots of uppity tourists who are just in a bad mood because they didn’t get up early enough to get a parking spot at bear lake. FYI: takeout only for now. It’s hard to get good help in the mountain towns. ”
