A humble little space in a strip mall with just a couple of tables and you know this is going to be good. We ordered lunch specials, which are very reasonably priced. I got General Tso's chicken, which came with choice of soup (hot & sour, thank you) choice of rice (fried, thank you). My wife got the veggie Lo Mein. Service was prompt. Everything was delicious. Absolutely delicious. Portions were large enough to make two light meals for each of us. The only ding against was that the women's restroom smelled like dirty diapers, so that was unpleasant and kind of made us wonder what else wasn't so clean. That said, if we are in the area again, we would definitely order for takeout. The food was just that good.

Babies crying, people jumbled everywhere, and a buffet setup that was super packed together near everything else. The good: host sat me quickly and my server was polite and super quick. I guess they got this down to a science? The bad: everything else. How the heck are these reviews high? This place was packed but I felt like if I coughed, it would be all over my neighbor and the food. It was a cluster f. I did the buffet. While they had a lot of options, it was jam packed together. And you bumped into people trying to squeeze through some areas. The sushi was mediocre. The sweet and sour chicken was off. The fried rice wasn't warm. Even my tap water tasted funny. I couldn't finish my hot sake because it tasted off. The wasabi and ginger even looked funky (I will say the wasabi had a nice kick). Best part of my meal was leaving. The miso soup was the only decent part. I should have learned my lesson from previous Asian fusion places but I guess I trusted the reviews on this one. It's clear to me; a lot of people don't have an educated palate.

A Sunday Favorite!…read more New Garden is one of my favorite local Chinese restaurants, conveniently located on North Thomasville Road, next to the Bradfordville Publix. Whenever I've had a long, tiring Sunday and don't feel like cooking, this is one of my go-to places. My favorite order is the Mongolian Beef, but I always ask for it with light onions only. The original comes with additional vegetables, but they're always happy to customize it exactly the way I like it. I usually pair it with one of their delicious egg rolls. Another dish I highly recommend is the Boneless Spare Ribs with Pork Fried Rice. It's absolutely outstanding! What really makes New Garden special, though, is the people. The owners are incredibly friendly and genuinely appreciate their customers. Their customer service is exceptional, and they always make you feel welcome. I also love that they occasionally bring candies and other unique treats from China. Those little touches give the restaurant a charm that sets it apart from other Chinese restaurants in the area. If you're looking for great Chinese food, generous portions, excellent customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend giving New Garden a try. It's one of those local gems that keeps me coming back.

(Well, except for the one time I ordered the appetizer beef teriyaki sticks -- they were very dry and were more like jerky than beef.) We order entrees rather than combination platters. Our favorite dishes are Hunan beef, Hunan shrimp, beef with broccoli, pepper steak, Mongolian beef, Szechuan shrimp. I've also had the chicken lo mein and it's been very tasty, plenty of sauce/moisture. (Best eaten fresh, leftovers can become dry and sticky.) For appetizers, we've had and loved the egg rolls, dumplings (steamed or fried), fried wontons and Krab rangoon. Nihao's hot and sour soup is delicious, but my favorite is their pork wonton soup! I get a large order so I have plenty for lunch the next day! For $60, we end up with four meals -- we each get dinner the night we order and we always have enough for lunch or dinner the next day, too! An average of $15 a meal is a pretty darn good deal!

The ambiance is nothing fancy, but I did not expect it to be. The staff working here were friendly enough. The menu is pretty much filled with what you would expect from a New York style takeout Chinese place. They are not straying far from what you would expect from a New York style Chinese takeout place, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. There is a reason so many people love New York style Chinese takeout type food. The restaurant wasn't the best that I had, but I did not see a lot of food options in the area, so I upped it at least a star for offering a Chinese food option. My other options appeared to be a Subway, a Wendy's, or something from Publix. With the limited restaurant choices at this exit for lunch, I will give them four stars. Otherwise, they would probably only rate three stars.
