Sun Garden - University at Buffalo

I’ve gone to Sun Garden a few times and have had varying experiences each time. The general tso’s chicken is usually tough and grisly, but I went there anyways because my spouse likes the spare ribs. However, when we ordered the spare ribs this past summer (2023) they tasted old, like they had been sitting for a few days. The meat was tough and inedible and went in the trash. We decided to give Sun Garden one last chance because our usual Chinese place was closed, and within 90 minutes of eating the chicken we were both struck with stomach pain and diarrhea. I thought maybe it was just the chicken, and the next day I ate my egg roll and crab Rangoon. Again, I became ill after eating and ended up throwing out $35 worth of food. The Erie County health department site has inspection records, and Sun Garden has repeat violations for leaving chicken out at unsafe temperatures where it can develop toxins. I will not be giving this place my money any more.

My wife and I have been coming here the last 3 years. The family who owns this are amazing! We come in about twice a month and they know who we are every time. Food is spot on and they actually care about what they do! Highly recommend stopping here!

I love Chinese food and always like to try new places. Most don’t stand out and are good or ok. This is my all time favorite!!! Ordered sweet and sour chicken and chicken lo mein, WOW!! Super fresh vegetables, chicken super tasty, sweet and sour sauce perfect!! And very appreciative super nice staff!! Try it once, it will be the only place you go from then on:

My first visit last night 3/31/2023.A typical small Chinese takeout with only one letter in its name lit up outside at night. All remaining letters were out.The place looked closed. From my car I could see inventory stacked up against the window. I hate that look when walking into a restaurant. I thought to myself did I make a mistake?After I got home and opened everything up I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality.The Happy Family was very good with fresh vegetables.The egg rolls were plump and crisp.Allthough the wonton soup was very tasty, I wish there was a couple more wontons in it. Also I wish they had a small orange chicken on the menu and not just a large.Overall we enjoyed our meal and we will be ordering from Sun Garden again.

This was bad. Tso’s chicken was mushy and acidic. Chicken and broccoli was slimy and flavorless.
