Reviews
The staff is a highlight—they’re friendly, courteous, and make you feel welcome, which adds to the overall experience. While the food isn’t exceptional, it’s good enough to satisfy, especially if options in the area are limited.
If you’re looking for a quick, no-frills meal, New China Garden is a decent choice. It’s not gourmet, but as they say, it’s better than nothing!
The last order my beef was grayish colored, it lacked any signs of searing, which I find incredibly odd for how hot those woks get..
I can guess on why it was the way it was but regardless that was it for me .
I made it home with our order and everything was hot, fresh, and delicious.
Thank you, China Garden, for being open for business on Christmas Day! I hope 2026 is a phenomenal year for you! We will be back to see you again soon! Merry Christmas and thank you again.
If you enjoy eating in an “UNCLEAN” 1960s nostalgic/makeshift DAYCARE-TYPE setting while listening to LOUD “NURSERY RHYME” music playing in Chinese your entire visit,
THEN this is the place for you!
The reason why I only gave the restaurant “3 STARS” is because of their lack of cleanliness and lack of professionalism in the dining area.
From what we could see of the kitchen, that area looked a lot cleaner, but then again, that was looking through a door from afar.
The whole dining experience felt as if we were back in time, to the 1960s era.
The establishment was not filthy dirty, but needed a good scrub down, most definitely.
The restaurant seemed as though a new owner had purchased the restaurant back in 1968 and left the restaurant to sit furnished and untouched for the next 54 years.
The new said owner decides to open the restaurant up after it had sat for that long period, without making any improvements or cleaning, dirt and all.
Our booth and the benches that we sat on, felt as if there was a light film of “grime” covering them, as did the rest of the tables, booths, and chairs.
All the tables have sweet and sour sauce in a jar to use. Our jar was stuck to the table .. Picked up the jar and there was a sticky ring where it had sat in one spot for who knows how long. The entrance glass door, could barely see out of it. Most of the windows were the same way.
Last but not least, the makeshift Daycare …
As you walk into the dining area and straight ahead, there were at least four or five HUGE toys (toddler kitchenette), etc. all piled together with a bunch of little toys as well.
The loud nursery rhyme music playing in Chinese throughout the restaurant, was not pleasant at all, to listen to.
(If it were in English, I would feel the same way).
This China Garden gets a lot of take-out/drive-thru business because the food is good. I’m not sure why carry out is busier. Is it because they have seen the inside and got disgusted as well or the customers are just too busy to dine inside. Btw, we were the only ones there at dinner time.
…Once you see the crud on the inside, it makes you wonder if the kitchen is clean or not.
