I have to say straight off that I am not the biggest fan of Chinese food, but was disappointed by Spring Garden. The spring rolls as starters were okay but my main course of sweetcorn and chilies, just tasted like a tin of sweetcorn with a couple of chilies in. Don't know quite what I expected but it certainly wasn't... More

I like the fact that you can really taste the ingredients and not the sauces. Unlike a previous reviewer, I did not find that the onions were overpowering, so I guess it's all about personal taste. Also, the staff is friendly, and super nice to children! We enjoy going there when we want a simple dinner with the kids. They... More

I read some reviews online but was disappointed by the food (the price tag was also not a bargain and compared to other better restaurants).... with the ambiance not being much, I expected the food to at least hit some high notes but While the food was fresh all we could taste was salt and onions through most of the...

I have been to Spring Garden for dinner and lunch many times over the past year. It is a solid Chinese restaurant, serving fresh and well-prepared Chinese-style food. The service has always been consistent, with friendly wait staff and management paying attention to the customers' needs. It is nestled away in a small house complex and patrons can eat inside...

Slightly western flavored specials on menu, but I've seen plenty of Chinese organizing special meals with the owners. Decent wonton soup, and fairly good singapore noodles. They always accommodate my green vegetable requests of bok Chou in oyster sauce. This is not great Chinese, but what you would expect from outer suburbs in an American town, but haven't got sick...

I am a reisdent of Nairobi and i enjoyed eating at this restaurant until i had a rather disturbing encounter. I was seated at the garden only to see a chef use his hands to blow his nose for almost five minutes while wiping his hands on his chef coat and then go straight to the kitchen...how disgusting. I then... More

Most Chinese restaurants in Nairobi cater for the indian market with lots of garlic, chili, and spices. Spring Garden offers true chinese food. It is located in a house and has both indoor and outdoor seating with private dining rooms. The menu is extensive, covering starters, mains (divided into pork, beef, vegetables, chicken, seafood and lamb), rice/noodles and deserts. The... More

Very nice restaurant. The owners take care about the customers. Friendly staff. The nicest dishes. Even special requests are honoured. Place to be from time to time. Being single or in a group. Fish dishes are excellent. regards mr Hans
