    First time here. Have been wanting Chinese food for weeks. I ordered spring rolls for appetizer. For my meal I ordered Mei Fun spice level 6. My wife ordered her usual Pad Thai spice level of 4 Very clean restaurant. With a very nice staff. Fast service. Nice atmosphere. The dishes were pretty darn good. I have to give it a 4 star due to the atmosphere cleanliness and how fast the food came out. We will be back for sure.

    the food was chewy and we didn't get chop sticks, the service however was quick and everyone was nice. Both meals were what I would call Mid.

    Fried dumplings and crab rangoon

    I'll start by saying that the family who owns/runs the restaurant was extremely nice to us and made sure we had everything we asked for. They came back many times to refill our drinks and make sure we didn't need anything else. Our food also arrived timely and warm. Inside the restaurant is a quaint environment with cozy booths and tables that were all quite comfortable. As for the food, their presentation was very nice and inviting! It wasn't the best Chinese cuisine I've had but not the worst either. The appetizers (dumplings and crab rangoon were actually fairly tasty) but the orange chicken we ordered (not pictured) had a very strange aroma to it just before biting into it and then didn't actually have much flavor at all. I ended up ordering the sushi because many of the positive reviews talked about how good the sushi was. I'm inclined to disagree though. I ordered the Dragon and Sunday Morning Rolls (usually two of our go-to's anywhere we go) and they both were warm and mushy in places they shouldn't be. The salmon in the Sunday morning roll tasted like it was maybe smoked salmon from a package instead of fresh raw salmon and the inside of the dragon roll (which is usually cold and fresh) was hot and mushy. This was an out of the way place for us that some friends chose so I don't see us going back but if we did I'd probably get just the appetizers again. Those were actually pretty good.

    Well priced food that hits the spot, especially when you're craving that salt and MSG. The sushi here is a hidden gem, and isn't available for online ordering. Don't miss out on it though, call your order in or stop by in the restaurant to check availability! It's 100% worth the extra steps, with the Sweet Potato sushi roll being my favorite I have found in the tri-state.

    Food: We ordered an assortment of maki rolls. The fish was fresh, but we found that most of the rolls had the same flavor profile. The eel roll was packed full of eel and avocado. The rainbow roll had a really yummy sauce on top which was a nice twist. We weren't the biggest fans of the spicy tuna and the volcano roll was underwhelming. One other note was that the content of most of the rolls weren't explained on the menu picture or online ordering platform. I'd be curious to go back and try their Chinese menu sometime! Wait time: We ordered carryout sushi on Christmas Day and they said it would be done in 20 minutes. When we arrived, they hadn't started making the sushi and said it would be an additional 30 minutes. When we came back 30 minutes later, it was an additional 20 minutes. I understand it was Christmas and they were short staffed, but it just took much longer than we were anticipating.

    This is a decently good Chinese restaurant that had some extras in their menu, like sushi and pad thai (I updated photos if their menu for everyone). It isn't the kind of place I'd go out of my way for, but if I lived near here or was visiting the area I would definitely stop in often. I ordered the Kung Po shrimp and it was very good. It had a nice kick and there were plenty of shrimp offered in the dish. I also got a New York roll. It was better than I expected it to be. I like how they gave me orange slices with my fortune cookie at the end, a great end to a big meal. If you are in this area, give New Garden a try.

    Orange chicken

    My husband had been craving Chinese food for weeks. We had not had an opportunity to visit our two favorite establishments. Being in the area, and seeing New Garden, it was decided to try somewhere new. Price for the amount of food provided was outstanding. I can't remember the last time all five of us ate for $30, and had leftovers. Takeaway containers were filled to the brim. That was true for both the entires and rice. Fried or white rice comes with the entires. General Tso's Chicken was a little spicy. The vegetables included in the dish (really all the chicken dishes,) were a nice touch. Children enjoyed the orange chicken. The special of the night was pineapple chicken. It was sweeter than I was expecting. It was also a big hit with the children. Food was made to order. Both take out and sit down are available. While I would not drive out of my way for New Garden, I would eat it again if in the area.

    General Tso's Chicken. Delicious sauce with fresh cut vegetables.

    What a great find! My husband and I decided to give this place a try and I am glad we did. We ate here on a Friday night and there was no wait. We wanted to try several things so decided to split General Tso's Chicken, Eel Avocado Rolls, and Fried California Rolls. The General Tso Chicken came out first and it was delicious. Probably the best I have had of this dish. The sauce was very good and the vegetables were freshly chopped. It was huge too, we could have split that as our meal without the sushi. About 5 minutes later the sushi came out which was fine because we were splitting everything, but if we weren't then I would have been waiting for my meal as he ate his, but for us it wasn't a big deal. The sushi was freshly made and very good. We were very happy with our food choices. The restaurant itself is very clean, including the bathrooms. They even have umbrellas growing from the lights above, crazy right?! Overall for the food, the price, the portions, it is a very good option in Ft. Thomas and we will be back for sure!

    We sat there for 40 minutes before getting drinks then waited another hour to get food. Not the best service!

The gentleman asked if we had reservations. We did not. He simply said, "Then we'll have three more guests for the evening" or something along those lines. He was very kind. Before our friend arrived, a woman stopped by to welcome us. Top notch service so far! The ambiance is beautiful. The lighted tree and decor behind us was a lot, but it felt tasteful. Jack, our server, stopped by to get us water. When our friend arrived we had a lot to talk about. Jack stopped by several times and was very chill about us taking our time. He said he didn't mind if we still weren't ready and he'd return to check on us as often as necessary. Again, kindness and patience abound at Oriental Wok. The Ma La Dumplings were absolutely delicious. The filling was delicious and the spice level, which we knew would be spicy, was perfect. Truly a wonderful bite. I had Five-Spice Tofu. The tofu was crispy as advertised and the greens were in a very light and delectable sauce. Green onions were sprinkled with the greens. I feel sometimes greens like these are an afterthought at many restaurants. At Oriental Wok they were as much a star as the crispy tofu. Mark had Orange Chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. He mentioned the orange flavor was perfect. Either Jack asked if we wanted dessert and I missed it or he didn't ask. Our friend thought maybe he did and she said no, but she couldn't be sure. I just remember him stopping by to ask if we needed boxes. Anyway, next thing I knew we had our checks. I really wanted dessert, but I took it as a sign it was time for us to wrap up. I'm absolutely certain he would have been more than happy to bring us some dessert and update our checks, so going without was on me and that's cool. I think it's safe to say we will be back!

    Wow wow wow! That was some flavorful, delicious Chinese food -- and with a fun, funky ambiance!…read more We were seated quickly at one of 2 open tables on a rainy Thursday evening. Ordered green tea, a Jade Dynasty cocktail and pot stickers to enjoy while we perused the menu (including the picture book!). The pot stickers were delicious! More like meatballs inside, served with a I-don't-know-what-this-is-but-it's-delicious sauce. We ordered and were pretty quickly delivered our mains: How Fun noodles (level 2 spice) with chicken and Pepper Beef (level 3 spice). Both were outstanding! The sauces on both were savory and delicious. The noodles were great - not slimy like they can sometimes be but firm yet delicate. The chicken was tasty. The pepper beef was tangy and tender with a nice balance of peppers and onions. Serving sizes big enough for lunch the next day. Vibrant decor made the place really feel alive and servers were friendly and efficient. We found street parking but I assume this part of Covington gets busy on weekend nights so allow a few minutes to find a spot. Bonus tip: stop at DelGardo's down the street and get a couple cannoli for dessert. Perfect end to a delicious meal!

    Star rating between 3.5 to 4 stars…read more We visited downtown Covington and were looking for dinner - we passed several restaurants but found a great rating in Google and decided to stop in here, plus the lighting and colors were bright. Restaurant was crowded but we were sat immediately. Service was good - not super attentive but we were able to order quickly. I had to ask for more water throughout the meal and then they brought checks and boxes before we asked while we were still eating. We ordered the dumplings, orange chicken and how fun noodles. They have a spicy scale of 1-10, I opted for the 5 on the how fun noodles, and they were spicy!! Made me wonder what a 10 would taste like. Dumplings were good - though the bottom broke on them while we were eating them. Definitely homemade! My daughter loved the orange chicken / it also had cucumbers which she didn't love. My noodles were okay - nothing memorable in terms of flavor and very spicy. Overall a bright, well themed restaurant but I don't think I'd go back for the food.
