  Very Good Food, Great Price. Asian Garden China Bistro and Hibachi Grill is conveniently located in the Kroger Shopping Center with a cheap fuel station and Chase Bank near the Jonesboro Road location which contains multiple shopping options and I-75 access from Exit 221 or from easy travel from the square in town. The atmosphere is very clean with tiled floors, soft lighting and Chinese musical ballads playing in the background. Dcor is not overbearing and booths are private, roomy and high back semi-textured synthetic. The restrooms are nice, fresh and well stocked.The table condiments are Rooster Sriracha sauce, Kikkoman soy sauce, salt and pepper, sugar varieties and highlighted with now rarely seen self serve containers of duck sauce and wet Chinese mustard. Even in finer Chinese restaurants do you see these two condiment offerings anymore. Complementary fried won ton chips with warm, red sweet and sour sauce is brought to the table. Lunch Combos start at $5.25 and include choice of Won Ton, Egg Drop or Hot and Sour soup. Also included is a crispy fried Vege Spring roll, choice of steamed or fried rice and a fortune cookie. You can choose from 48 combo specials of lunch portioned size that are generous, but not over plated. The Hot and Sour soup is one of the best I have had anywhere. Balanced perfectly, as not to be too sour or spicy, this lightly thickened soup was classically prepared and full of flavor. To round out the appetizer segments of the combo, the Vege Spring roll was hot and crispy, not greasy, and boasted crisp fresh cabbage, bean sprouts and carrot. The Human Beef I opted for was prepared in a light yet flavorful brown sauce full of tender beef slices and expertly cooked al dente fresh mushrooms, yellow onion, carrot, bell pepper, snow peas and zucchini. Szechuan pepper added a small amount of heat and a burst of elegant enhancement. This dish was simple, fresh and very good. The fried rice accompanying was classic American style Chinese with a splash of soy, scrambled egg and diced mixed vegetables. The Green Tea was served in a large ornate ceramic pot with bamboo handle. It contained one bag each of Chinese Green Tea and Fijian Oolong. The steeping blend created a smooth, medium bodied elixir that was pleasant to drink–neither strong nor bitter. Server was attentive but not over bearing, well informed in the menu items and ingredients and polite. Cost for the Lunch Hunan Beef Combo was $5.25 plus a pot of Hot Green Tea $1.60 equaling a total of $7.33 without tip. The menu is fairly extensive for the small establishment covering beef, chicken, seafood and vegetarian with Hunan, Szechuan, Japanese (Hibachi and Tempura) and some simple Thai cuisines. Wing Specials and a Kids Menu are also offered.Over all, this is a great little spot for fresh Asian cuisine with an incredibly price friendly menu. Lunch or dinner, you cant beat the value or atmosphere at this family friendly caf.

  My shrimp and broccoli was watery and underseasoned, I ended up throwing it away. I’m not sure if I’ll be back
