I have never beeen to China Garden, but it regularly has a violation with the Health Inspector of - Potentially hazardous foods are not stored under refrigeration except during necessary preparation or approved precooling procedures (room temperature storage). Having seen this, I will not try this place. If you want good Chinese in Congers, go to Hong Kong Kitchen. Just avoid their Hot and Sour soup because it is nasty and gloppy thick. I think that these dudes at China Garden need to wear hair nets, no one wants extra protein with Lo Mein.. As far as them over charging, I would dispute the entire charge with the credit card company just to get back with them for the nasty food. Most Chinese restaurants that are good don't accept credit cards. Thanks for sharing David, I will avoid this sticky nasty place. Be sure to stay away from that nasty place in JIA FOO TAKE-OUT RESTAURANT in Spring Valley in the Kennedy Plaza mall, just the smell of that food made me sick. ...read more

My boss asked me to find a restaurant for Secretary's Day and I called this restaurant and the owner said no problem just come in. Although the place was fairly crowded, the service was quick and courteous and the food was great. Everything was really first rate from the appetizers to dessert. We are a small office of 5 people and the girls and I have been back with our husbands/dates/friends many times since. My boss was so impressed that now the holidays are almost here, he asked us girls in the office how we'd feel about going to La Triestina for our company christmas party.We anonymously agreed. I originally heard about the restaurant from one of the girls in the gym who had her christmas party there the year before and I have been meaning to try it. Secretary's Day was a great opportunity. Jimmy ,the owner, Roberto and Sonny, the managers, and everyone who works there always make us feel right at home. The outdoor dining is great. and my fiance and I if we hadn't already booked our wedding else where before we found La Triestina would have our reception there. La Triestina is the place to go year round. And we are all looking forward to our company christmas party, we know it would be a great event for the 30+ people in our company. ...read more

..My husband and I planned a fundraiser last year for our sons school. (Jawonio in New City) We wanted to raise money for the special needs program their. We asked LaTriestina to help and they gave us the reataurant, FREE OF CHARGE!!! The owners, Jimmy and Peggy, supplied the entire restaurant. All the food from ,dinner to dessert was supplied by them. Whatever money was raised all went to Jawonio. I cannot thank them enough for all their support and hard work. Because of them the IDP ( Infant developemental program) was renovated ... I would recommend this retaurant to anyone!!! They are good people and will cater to your every need.. Thank-you so much for your opening your hearts to these children. We greatly appreciated all you did for us. ...read more

Many people think that an enchilada in a restaurant is much better than anything they can ever find at home, unless they know a lot of Hispanic people. This is because a restaurant has a special way of making enchiladas that is not only delicious, but doesn't fall apart like some people find when they... ...read more
