Discusting

by Tillmon at Citysearch

I went to a Chinese restaurant--about two weeks ago-- in Renton (Hongs Garden). The waitress, and a few others obviously had colds. Our waitress was blowing her nose, and wiping it into a cloth. We watched her go about the restaurant without washing her hands. We had a seat near the kitchen--where we witness her further wiping her nose--while touching our plates. The restaurant is the most sick, foul, non-respecting place I've ever been. To top it off, one girl sneezed on the silverware (Note: They have dinner plates, and silverware on the tables) while leaving work for the day.

• Pros: Location

Good food and service

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

have enjoyed Hong's Garden for many years. The food is well prepared and very pleasing. The staff are helpful and courteous. Their Dim Sum is a great way to sample a variety of dishes and enjoy favorites. The dinner menu has a wide selection that will please and tempt any palate. Give them a try, your tummy will be happy

Absolute rudest service ever

by nicegirl08 at Citysearch

We have been to Hongs Garden quite a few times over the past few years. Only because it is the only one in the area that we know of. One night we ate there, ordered combo number 2. They took forever to even bring the food out. Then they brought one plate out. 20 minutes later they brought the next plate out, and so on. I don't know about you, but I prefer that it all shows up at the same time. When we asked the waitress why it was taking so long, she was completely rude and just said it was the kitchens fault not hers. I talked to the grumpy old lady at the front desk about it. She offered no apology, no discount, acted like I was the one in the wrong. Well, we made the mistake of going there again tonight. Same terrible service, but now the food isn't even good. The chicken is absolutely full of fat chunks, and the beef had a very very strange texture,slimy. This time most of the food showed up, then we waited ten minutes for the rest. I do need to mention that the times the food took the longest to arrive, the restaraunt was basically empty, so it is not like they were slammed. Oh, and tonight the grumpy old lady walked by our table and passed the LOUDEST gas!! Disgusting. I don't even want to eat my leftovers. I will NEVER go back. Why should I pay $70 to be treated horribly and eat terrible food. I would rather just spend $7 and get Chinese over at Safeway, it tastes the same!

• Pros: No wait for table
• Cons: Terrible Service, mediocre food
