Hong Kong Garden Restaurant

I have always enjoyed my meals at Hong Kong Garden Restaurant in Bellingham. I have been a customer for over 20 years, and I was shocked to read the other review on this site that described one of the restaurant employees as having ""horrible hygiene."" It quickly became apparent that this reviewer was speaking of the WRONG Hong Kong Garden. There happens to be a restaurant called ""Hong Kong GardenS"" in Anacortes, and I believe that is the one he meant to review. What tipped me off was that the reviewer mentioned a ""lounge"" area, and the Hong Kong Garden in Bellingham does not even serve alcohol, let alone have a lounge area. The locations, despite having similar names, are in no way connected to each other. I happen to know the owner of the Hong Kong Garden in Bellingham, and he and his family are absolutely delightful. Pros: Delicious food, prompt and friendly service, ample parking more

This place has good food, especially potstickers. The lounge crowd is loud and annoying. One patron consistently brings his dog into the lounge where people eat. One of the cooks, the owner's father, uses the bathroom without washing afterward. This is not just a one time thing. He ALWAYS does this, then goes right back to the kitchen. GROSS! I always make sure he is not working if I order food. He also stands there listening to customers while picking his nose until another order is needed where he goes back without washing his hands. Pros: Food is pretty good Cons: DISGUSTING Hygiene more
