I would come to this restaurant when I really run out of option for a meal. WHY? because, I know that I am going to have a meal at the restaurant with a Chinese theme name but I am not going to get real authentic Chinese food. Weak attempts to have dishes by names of Singapore Fried Rice and Chop Suey could certainly food a commoner but one taste and I would know that the name was given for name sake only. Anyhow, if you are sick of having half baked western food and rectum burning spicy food....................come to China garden for a bowl of their pepper chicken soup........MSG + can veggies and traces of Chicken cannot be wrong.

I had lunch with my family there . I was impressed by the tasty food, good service. The price is reasonable. I didn't expect we can have such good Chinese food in Maldives. It's also a good place for family gathering though. We will come more often. Highly recommend!

We found this on our way to another thai restaurant. Decided to try here instead. Pkace had an odd ambiance but then a kind Sri Lankan waiter appeared and doted over us like a professional butler. He told us what to order and looked after us like we were royalty. We had the spring rolls, tom yum soup and a chicken curry with rice - verdict - excellent 10 out of 10. True to name thai food - and we are fussy feeders.

This restaurant is repeatedly listed as one of the best restaurants in Male so I went with high expectations. Location is excellent with a great view. Service was average. Mocktails were superb so had to have second one. Had dinner on deck at night which was dark and it was a while before a small table light was delivered for us to use. But the biggest disappointment was the food. Given the location we were keen to try the seafood so we opted for the seafood platter. The tuna, calamari, cuttlefish and mussels were all over cooked, dry and rubbery. This is a real shame as given the location this place should be setting standards.

Surprised to find such good authentic Thai food in Male.We had Pandan Leaf chicken, red curry, pad Thai, ban kee meow, and egg omelette. All of the dishes were pretty good.Only downside is the price but then again, most things in this touristy place is pricey so this was still within expectations.Dear Stephen,Thank you for the kind review, all our kitchen staff are from Thailand and we do use only ingredients from Thailand, so we are proud to say that our Thai food is authentic,Unfortunately as you mentioned, the expense level in the Maldives is extremely high, leaves us no room for less than we need to ask for, sorry for that, I wish it could be done differently,Warmest Regards Thiomas

We picked the correct evening to visit this restaurant. The Indian buffet is only served on Thursday evenings. The spread includes a soup, breads and chicken tikka prepared tandoori style, curries, briyani and desserts.Quality of food is good so for 200 MVR (about USD16), it's good value for money. The restaurant also has a nice ambience and the wait staff provides good service. Glad we came!Dear Stephen,Wow! What a wonderful review, we truly appreciate your dedication to share your dinning experience to our Bistro. we are very happy to hear that our staff and service met your needs and expectations. We thank you again for the wonderful review.We look forward to serve you againThanks & Best Regards,Belle Amie Team.
