The food at Gourmet Garden is always delicious and they offer generous portions. We enjoy dishes like the huh fried rice, crab, and hot and sour soup. It is our go-to spot for Chinese cuisine in the DBShores/Port Orange area. View all feedback.

Better than average basic Chinese takeout! Service was quick and friendly, even on a Saturday night. They offer brown rice for no additional charge! Fortune cookies were super fresh. Meal came with a good variety of veggies, not just broccoli and carrots, things like baby corn and water chestnuts. Sauce was tasty and not overly salty. Lots of tofu too. Give this place a try!
Best Chinese takeout in Volusia County by far. The fried rice is especially superior. I have eaten 100+ times over the past several years and never had even a mediocre meal. Great service and the couple that owns the restaurant is amazing!!
Best Chinese place. Chicken is actually white and freshly cooked. Not discolored and rubbery like some places. Breading on chicken always well cooked as well. Gives most lo mein and taste is better. I eat here atleast once a week great place. just call.

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is fresh and not drowned in sauce like some other small Asian restaurants. I am so happy to have discovered this hidden gem in our local area! We tried the salt and pepper shrimp and the BBQ ribs, both were delicious. They offer a great selection of healthy options as well.

This Chinese takeout is above average! The service was quick and friendly, even on a busy Saturday night. They offer brown rice at no extra cost. The fortune cookies were very fresh.
