October 12,1994 8 Campus Extras China Garden; A taste for the Orient Tucked into the side of Timber Crossings shopping center off high way 50 in Gamer, is China Garden restaurant. China Garden, a fomily restaurant, opened in 1988 but has kept a low profile compared to most of the other restaurants in the Raleigh area. The atmosphere at China Garden is varied. The lunch time atmosphere is casual. The lights are bright, and the tables have paper placemats that fea ture the Chinese zodiac. Patrons have a choice of ordering from the menu or eating from the buffet. Dinnertime is romantic. The lights are low, the background music is soft, and the tables are set with cloth nap kins and candles. Children are wel come and are entertained by an aquarium full of various kinds of iish. Patrons at dinnertime can only order from the menu. Janet Butts restaurant review The food at China Garden is supe rior. Along with a wide variety of Chi nese dishes, there are speciaJry items such as China Garden St^ and Dragon and Phoenix Platter. 1 ordered the Sesame Beef, which consists of sliced beef dryly sauteed with onions and sesame seeds. I was served enough for two and had to ask for a doggie bag. My husband ordered the China Garden Special, which is a combina tion of shrimp, beef and chicken sauteed with seasonal vegetables in a delightful brown sauce. He, too, had to ask for a doggie b^. We were too full for dessert, but the cheesecake and fried banana were both hard to resist. The service at China Garden is ex cellent. Hot tea is served to everyone, and the waiters are always nearby, ready to refill your glass with your bever^e of choice. In addition, they never let you leave without a fortune cookie. The prices at China Garden are good. The luncheon menu prices rai^e form S4.25 to S4.95, and the buffet is usually priced about $4.50. The dinner menu prices range form $5.50 to $22.95.
