A group table-buffet in a private room, good value for events. Sweet and sour chicken and the sizzling beef were the pick, but most dishes lacked punch, the room was late and the toilets were leaking and unclean.

What to Expect
China Garden in Milton Park is known for private dining rooms, useful for family gatherings, business meetings and birthdays, and reviewers mention booking them well ahead. Tafadzwa (October 2024) called it the best place for private time with colleagues or family, and Tatenda's 2020 review advised booking early because the rooms are popular.
Portions come up again and again. Tavashe warned in a 2023 review that a single dish can feed two adults and told diners to check anything with “Sizzling” in the name, while Su San (December 2025) described the servings as “large” and “generous”. Taylor (August 2025) enjoyed the prawns and oxtail enough to want them again, and Sandisile (July 2025) likes the Chinese tea while waiting on food. Not every visit is flawless: Craig (December 2025) found the food good and not reheated, but noted the tablecloths “weren't clean” and an employee's phone kept ringing at a nearby table.
Secure, guarded parking is mentioned by several reviewers as a reason to relax about leaving a car there. China Garden is open daily from 12:00 to 21:00.

★★★★★
I love this place. Firstly they offer private rooms (though make sure to book in advance) which are great for meetings or dates. Secondly the food is good and well priced; the portion sizes are generous. I usually have to end up getting a takeaway.
★★★☆☆
A very nice place to go as a small group. Fairly priced meals in generous quantities. Food wasn't pre cooked and heated which was lovely. Table clothes weren't clean unfortunately and a table behind us had an employee's phone on charge whi h kept ringing😕, but overall layout is…
★★★★★
Really enjoyed the private space and the food. If you are up for some private time with colleagues, friends and/or family, China Gardens is the best place to be.
