★★★★☆ 4.0 DJ Ducky · Feb 2026

The food is always good and fresh here. I think if I could change anything, it would be to make the chicken fingers less doughy and that's why they got a 4 and not a 5 star. Other than that, they have always considered my requests, such as no sauces or maybe cook the chicken fingers till they're dark. I highly recommend this place. I have never been disappointed.

I spent $76 buying platters for my family. I have the chicken fried rice and chicken wings. The rice was disappointing at best. The chicken in it had a very suspicious texture to say the least. After getting over the look and texture of the chicken in my rice, I decided to have a girl at the actual wings. Unfortunately they tasted like burnt grease. I would like to note that the highlights of the night were the duck sauce and fortune cookie - both of which came from outside sources. Highland Garden, you’ve let me down if I could give your food a negative star I would. 😔 to end this on a good note I will say the service was great and the people were very friendly… So, I had to edit this review because I grabbed another fortune cookie opened it and there was no fortune inside. I hope that’s

Drowning in sauce it's all sauce gross. You can't even taste the vegetables or meat just overtaking sweet sauce. Had to drain my veggies on the rice to remove all the excess sauce. Rice was so soggy and soupy you can't even eat it

This place has been going downhill for at least a year. I have been going here for at least 10 years but I am done with this place. Their prices are getting OUTRAGEOUS $11 for wings? Really. They are taking advantage of the inflation going on. In other words they are price gouging people. I used to go there at least twice a month and always spent around $50 each visit totalling about $100 a month. Or $1200 a year. No more. I actually got ripped off for the $11 wings about 2 months ago. Before I leave I always ask if everything is in the bag and the lady (who knows who I am) replied yes. Nothing worse than getting home (takes me 20 minutes to get here) and finding that they forgot to put everything in the bag. I called up and complained and she didn't know how to refund my credit card a

I have been going to Highland Garden for over 30 years. I always consider this the best Chinese take out. It must be under new management. The food is horrible! The people are rude. I won't be going back nor will I ever recommend this place.
