The main thing Oriental Gardens has going for it seems to be the cook, who is recognized as one of the best in Enumclaw. I have been told that even his American dishes are better than at many of the other restaurants in town, with the fried chicken being the most well known.

The Szechuan Delight was recommended to me as a way to combine tofu and one of the chef's best sauces. It also comes with sliced pork and chicken, but not in such large quantities that it changes the flavor as a tofu dish. I enjoyed the sauce quite a bit, and was surprised it was so spicy after sampling some of the dumbed-down "Mexican" food in town over the years.
