It was December of 1988 when Sharon Mou, known as Mama Mou, opened her first restaurant in The Lodge at Avon Center. China Garden became a local go-to spot for Mandarin and Szechuan cuisine. After venturing into other businesses and leasing out the space, Sharon is now back at the helm of the restaurant. Many locals have come back and word of mouth is strong.
Choose from traditional Chinese favorites like crab rangoon, dumplings, fried rice variations and hot and sour soup. Add Volcano Shrimp, Yaki-soba noodles or Pad Thai to your order, or enjoy red or green curry or keep it simple with sesame chicken.
All the food at China Garden is prepped and cooked by Chinese chefs with years of experience.
