    Food quality acceptable although sizzling beef cooled down too quickly. Big mistake with the bill meaning an overcharge. Staff maintained that it was a simple error but refused to give me a copy of the bill. So I had to take a photo of it. Eventually received a small cash refund. BUT NO APOLOGY. Very dissapointing and ruined the evening.

    Pretigeous location. Easy to find. Food delicious and there is a good variety to choose from. Some of those dishes can even be customised with your own choice of ingredients. Very friendly staff. Would definitely go again on my next visit to Brighton.

    Amazing food & service which suited three generations of family. China Garden is a Brighton institution and the food is always delicious.

    not many dim sum options in Brighton but would say this was the best out of the lot. Lovely restaurant, ambience and great service. But pricey.
