King's Garden
Looking for a cozy spot that nails the perfect blend of authentic Chinese cuisine and friendly vibes? King's Garden in Meriden, CT might just be your next favorite go-to. Tucked away at 1231 E Main St, this charming local gem has quietly built a loyal following — and it’s not hard to see why.
As soon as you step into King's Garden, you’re met with that comforting aroma of fresh stir-fry and sweet-and-savory sauces wafting through the air. The ambiance? Think low-key, warm, and welcoming — the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name and new faces feel like old friends.
The menu reads like a greatest hits album of Chinese-American classics. Whether you're into crispy General Tso’s Chicken, flavorful Mongolian Beef, or want to dive into a heaping plate of Lo Mein, they've got something for every craving. Portions are generous too, so you’ll probably leave with leftovers (and that’s never a bad thing).
What really sets King's Garden apart, though, is the attention to detail. The veggies are always fresh, the proteins cooked just right, and the sauces? Bold, balanced, and never overpowering. They also offer takeout if you're in the mood for a cozy night in without sacrificing flavor.

On my recent trip to CT, I had to have my KG. Was same as ever. I ordered the same thing I always do: szechuan wonton, szechuan chicken lunch special. Still great and a great deal.
Always enjoy the food and friendly service. Never have any problems with timing when we order takeout. Always enjoy the food especially on New Years Eve.
This is exactly what it needs to be. Reasonably priced, quick, and tasty. Wasn't too hot on the fried rice tho. Stopping by again
Kings Garden is my go-to Chinese food restaurant. I travel out of town to get take out. The Egg Foo Young is the absolute best! I've never had a bad meal there. The family that runs it is an honest and hard-working group of people. I just wish they'd open another restaurant closer to my home. They do not disappoint!!!
I was craving Chinese food and ordered this on a whim one day during my lunch break at work. I got the Pork Fried Rice and Chicken Lo Mein. I ordered on GrubHub and when I arrived the food was hot and fresh, bagged to go. The man at the register was very kind and greeted me with a smile. The Pork Fried Rice was just okay - I wish it had some more seasoning as it had a pretty bland flavor overall. However, the Chicken Lo Mein was very tasty and filling. It was packed with vegetables and the serving size was pretty generous. I had enough for leftovers later.
