Excellent food!
Well, I'm not sure how authentic it is, but it certainly tastes great to me. I have yet to have Chinese food that compares. It's a small restaurant and doesn't have much in way of atmosphere. Just stuffed portions of great food at good prices. I mainly do take out there, and after my friends and I are through eating our fill, the lids will actually close properly- heh, they really cram the food in there. It's great.    [14 Jul 2003 16:48:48]

Some of the Best Chinese Food Around
Nearly everything on the menu is worth having at least once, I have yet to be disappointed. The portions are HUGE, there hasn't been a single occasion where I haven't come home with as much left over as I was able to eat.

The prices are exceptional for the quality and quantity of food. If you like spicy food they have items marked on the menu as spicy and for once they actually are.

I recommend this restaurant to anyone who remotely enjoys Chinese food every now and then.    [29 Mar 2004 12:34:03]

Best Chinese in Minnesota
I have been going here for over 10 years, and while it's small and not much to look at, their food is easily some of the best I have had. Their buffet during lunch is usually very crowded, but if you get a chance, stop by. They have great food served at your table instead of getting crusty under a heat lamp like everywhere else. Their takeout is equally excellent, huge amounts of food for cheap. I dare anyone to come up with a better restaurant for value and quality than the Rose Garden.    [01 Apr 2004 14:55:02]

The BEST Food On Earth
This is by far my favorite restaurant in the world! I've dined at fine expensive restaurants where the appetizers are $110, and it still doesn't come close to a $10 meal at the Rose Garden. No place can match the quality or the quantity of food. One entree, and one order of fried rice can easily feed four. You can order anything on the menu and it will be great, but it should always include an order of Beef Fried Rice. It is to die for! Once you've tasted the Rose Garden, you will never want to eat Chinese at any other place for the rest of your life.    [30 Nov 2006 16:48:36]

Mouth Watering
I had never eaten Chinese food until age 25 when a friend offered me an egg roll from Rose Garden. I was hooked, and disappointed it took 25 years. I since have tried other places, and NOTHING compares to their food hands down. I used to live in Elk River and would drive the half hour just to get it!    [09 Mar 2007 16:58:42]
