The Peach Garden-Chinese Restaurant

On the recommendation of a friend, visited The Peach Garden (536 South College Avenue; 812-332-3437) recently. It would seem that the majority of their business comes from delivery orders (which according to their site can be placed online or via telephone) but we chose to dine in on our visit.

The hostess was very courteous and attentive to our needs and the service was pretty good. The dining area is a bit small, but made for a cozy, family friendly setting. The soups and appetizers were all good. I would recommend the Hot & Sour Soup, Szechuan Wanton's (for those who like it a bit spicy), or the Beef Sticks to start with.

The entrees were served up quickly and were nice and hot. Table recommendations were the Mandarin Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, and Chicken with Broccoli. Personally I like the flavor of the Mandarin Chicken, but having sampled them all none would disappoint the taste-buds.

All in all it was pleasant dinner, with great tasting food, and all at an affordable price. Two adults and two kids were able to eat for just under $40 which included soda's and appetizers. I would highly recommend The Peach Garden to anyone seeking good, authentic Chinese cuisine in Bloomington.
