Best Chinese food I have had in a long time... everything was made onto order and the veggies were fresh. Looks are deceiving! Eat here, you will want to go back!

I have gone to Cheung's Garden many times since they opened in Lake City about 25 years ago. Their egg rolls are the better than anyone else's bar none. Their food is freshly made and excellent every time and the service is always courteous. Whoever posted the bad review under the name "A Google User" had to have made that stuff up. What a shame because the Cheung family is extremely nice and very respectful.
