it was a really pleasant dining experience, with a reasonable prizes, i think this place is a good spot to go.
clean place,and quick service.
the waiters don't speak good english by the way,so it was confusing to order at sometimes.
the smoky bamboo with pork and chicken giblets with white chili were nice and spicy.
i recommend you to get whatever as spicy as possible.
overall good place to eat and good value as well.
We found Alvin Garden a nice neighbourhood chinese restaurant. The food is not pretentious. Just really good, spicy chinese food. The service is decent. Although the restaurant exterior doesn't tell you much, we were surprised how big the restaurant is and it fills up quickly. We would go back anytime.
The place is fairly large, but fills up quickly, so go early or plan to wait. Patrons are mostly Chinese, which is a good sign for authenticity of food. The pickled chilli and beef is a definite favorite, but be warned - there's a reason why chillis are listed before the beef. Hot! The eggplant is a delicious and milder accompaniment, slightly sweet and seared. Almost everything we've tried so far has been really tasty.
Definitely worth a visit, even if it means driving across town to try Hunanese food.
