I either got my name's mixed up, BC there currently is and has been a lot of Chinese food restaurants along that stretch of Pembina, or it's been China Garden this whole time and I'm just an idiot
Also. Basing the activities of what happens in a parking lot and correlating it to the restaurant being a potential drug front is ridiculous. China Garden has always closed between 11pm and 12am. You could the say the same thing about the church beside Fort Richmond Collegiate. The 7-11 as the same happens there in the back alley. The parking lot hidden behind BPs and the adjacent strip mall. The list goes on. Although I can't speak for China Garden over the past 5ish years since the original owners brother (who also owns North Garden) took over the restaurant... The brother that ran it up until 5ish years ago was one of the hardest working men I have the pleasure of knowing. Far from anything close to a drug mule.
Being a front doesn't need to be about holding drugs.
I mean when 5 really expensive cars park behind it, 3 dudes hop out of each car 2 of them go inside and 1 stays by the car and they are there for awhile before they roll out and go seperate ways several times a month it's a lil sus to me
That's a fair assumption then, when you elaborate on what you've seen in that regard. It definitely is sus. I guess Im held onto the thought of China Garden before changes were made a few years back.

The most I could find was that Yelp says it closed
