Reviews for Zhu Garden in Knoxville, TN
We heard about this place having best hot and sour soup in knoxville. We ordered that and several other dishes; every single... thing we ordered was outstanding! We eat tons of Chinese food and this by far is the best around. Read more
This place is definitely the worst Chinese (Asian) restaurant I’ve ever ordered takeout from. Shrimp fried rice literally... we’re shrimps that looked and tasted from a can) #notrealshrip. Order regular fried rice definitely #notfriedrice) bothservings of rice were steam and was still hand (not fully cooked) and they basically just loaded it with soy sauce. Disgusting.Ordered sweet-and-sour chicken literally if there was chicken the battered took over they were so hard (over fried) it was avery unpleasant to chew. Vegetable lo mein had no flavor whatsoever!!! And finally the ginger chicken beside the lite favor /smell of the ginger this entrée was also extremely disappointing it had no flavor! You would think crab Rangoon‘s would notbe some thing that could be butchered unfortunately this too was quite disappointing they added too much sugar on the creamcheese that overpowered it and it just was not a good texture and taste. So we spent $70- on these entrees and definitely wasNOT Worth the so called $ price this restaurant is definitely over charging for this horrible food! Needless to say we threw 80%of the food away!!!! Read more
Don't let the picture fool you. Small, hard, pieces of chicken. Small amt. of beef and broccoli. Very disappointed for $25. Egg... rolls hard, chewy. Won't be back! Read more

I came into town for a work related trip, and this restaurant had been recommended as a local spot to try. I ordered the dinner... combo for the chicken with broccoli, fried rice, and an egg roll. I also added sweet and sour sauce because I love to eat thatwith my egg rolls. I have never had a clear sauce with my chicken with broccoli. It threw me for a loop, but I tried it. I wasnot a fan. The chicken, broccoli, and carrots were all very plain. The chicken tasted similar to chicken that literally has zeroseasoning on it. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to this meal. However, I thought the vegetables werecooked well. There wasn't much flavor, but it was not too hard nor too mushy. The fried rice was not what I was expecting. Itwas just brown looking rice. There was no egg, peas, carrots, or a single vegetable in the rice. It was just rice that wasbrown. The egg roll was overcooked to where you could taste that it was actually burnt on one side. Besides being burnt, theegg roll was really good, especially with the sweet and sour sauce. If it was not burnt, it would have been absolutelyincredible. The location is in a pretty decent area as far as I could tell as someone who does not live in town. The orderingprocess in the store was simple, and the wait time was reasonable. I am giving this a two star rating because the food wasincredibly poor. I was raised in the family that does not ever waste food because food costs money, and therefore, if you wastefood, you are throwing away money. I actually threw away about half of this food because even drenching it in the sweet and soursauce was not enough to fix the issues for me. Read more
I lived near knox 4 years ago and this has been my favorite Chinese restaurant ever since, even after moving out of... town. Stopped back through while on a road trip and got the Orange Chicken and fried rice. There is no better, and I've neverhad fresher food from a strip mall in my life. The food is obvious cooked fresh to order and the chicken battered and friendright then - always served piping hot! I received white rice instead of fried initially and they replaced it quickly and werevery apologetic. Mistakes happen! Delicious food and very kind people! I'll be back the next time I'm through. Thanks forbeing here!!! Read more
I don't know why it's so hard to get Egg Foo Young in this area. Am very glad a friend said Zhu has it on the menu. It was made... fresh with fresh veggies. My husband had the sweet and sour chicken and said it was good. We will definitely be back. Read more
Ordered chicken and broccoli. The chicken wasn't even brown. It looked raw and was rubbery. My egg roll tasted like old grease... and the fried rice had no flavor. I pitched it all in the trash. Read more
