After the ownership changed several times, the food didn't taste as good as it used to. I went back there after a long time and found that the owner had changed again, and the food seemed to have returned to its original taste. My friend who came with me also really enjoyed the food and said it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive as well. read more

New Garden M Restaurant - A photo of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

The standout dish by far was the walnut shrimp. It was honestly the best walnut shrimp I've ever had. The shrimp were perfectly golden and crispy, and the sauce was light and balanced instead of being overly sweet or heavily coated like you often find at places such as Panda Express. The shrimp stayed crispy, and the flavors were excellent. We also ordered the beef with green onions, which had great flavor and was cooked well. The spicy seafood noodle soup was another solid dish with plenty of seafood and a nice level of spice. The beef fried rice was simple but very flavorful, with egg mixed throughout, making it a great side that could easily be a meal on its own. We also tried the jajangmyeon, and it was really good. The noodles had a great texture, and the rich black bean sauce was a comforting dish Overall, everything we ordered was delicious, but the walnut shrimp completely stole the show. If you're in Rowland Heights looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant, New Garden is definitely worth checking out. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant regularly for years, so we are very familiar with how the food is normally served. Unfortunately, our recent experience with one male server was extremely disappointing. From the beginning, he repeatedly pushed us to order more expensive dishes and recommended nearly every high-priced item on the menu. At first, I tried to view it positively and assumed he was simply being enthusiastic about his job. What completely changed my impression was what happened with the rice. This restaurant normally serves rice in a large communal bowl when you order main dishes, but our server did not bring us any rice at all. We also ordered the shredded beef dish that is normally served with steamed buns, but he did not bring the buns until we specifically asked for them. When we asked for rice, he brought only one small bowl. I asked why he had brought only one serving, and he claimed that the restaurant had recently changed the way rice was served. However, every other table around us still had rice served in the usual large communal bowls. I had also eaten here just one week earlier, and nothing had changed. When I pointed to the other tables and asked why they had received the large bowls, he suddenly acted surprised and said, "Oh, do you want like that?" His explanation made absolutely no sense. At that point, it no longer felt like a simple mistake. It felt dishonest, insulting, and like he thought he could mislead customers with an excuse that was obviously untrue. His attitude throughout the meal was also dismissive and unfriendly. The only reason we still left a tip was because the Korean female server who also helped our table was kind and professional. She was the complete opposite and deserves recognition. We have supported this restaurant for years, which made this experience even more disappointing. After this visit, I think I understand why Yong Moon Lu is always packed while this place is nearly empty. read more

PRIVATE ROOMS RIDICULOUS RULES I requested the back private room for a dinner for 50 guests one week in advance. The lady on the phone said I needed to come by and leave a deposit (something they never used to do). After realizing I didn't have the time to drive there (I live in LA) I called to see if they could waive the deposit. She did except she then forced me to order everything in advance. She was very pushy. First she tried to make me order off their special banquet prefixed menu which has a lot of fancy dishes like jellyfish and seafood, stuff that most non-Koreans won't enjoy. So after explaining that she allowed me to order what we like off the menu BUT after she said "that's not enough dishes, the banquet packages are $$$ and you only ordered xxx much" Half of my guests were children (under 12yrs old) so I knew if I ordered more it would be a lot of food wasted... but the lady on the phone was not being understanding. When we hung up I was pretty upset. (We ended up with tons of leftovers ordered way too much). At the dinner we had asked for 6 tables but a few guests couldn't make it so we ended up with 5 tables. They were not happy that we changed plans, even though they had plenty of time to cancel the looks on their faces was very off putting. One table had only 6 guests yet we had to keep our order of 7 dishes (kung pao shrimp, fried chicken, dumplings, black bean fish, sweet sour pork, kung pao chicken and Mongolian beef) that had to be boxed up. Service was slow we asked for water but they would bring only for a few glasses not for the whole table. So we had to ask again. We asked for soy sauce and again, they brought it for one table but not the others! So my sister and I were basically "working" and serving out guests instead of enjoying our meal. Thats not good customer service. The place was half empty at 6pm it wasn't busy, the staff weren't communicating with each other. Update: I got the manager's reply and to me it sounds like they're still focusing on the money loss rather than letting customers order what they think best fits their needs. We gave them an extra $100 towards the tip not because of excellent service but because they made me feel so bad for canceling the extra table. New Garden is an iconic restaurant in Rowland Heights and I was the first to write a Yelp review for them 19 years ago. The food is still delicious but I had to call out how bad we felt with our experiences there w/ the new servers these past few months. The owner is nice but her staff needs better training on how to smile and treat guests with respect. read more

Decent jajangmyeon. Pretty thick sauce but didn't feel super heavy. Flavorful. Pickled radish and onion was not outstanding but still good to cut through. Noodles were a bit too soft for my liking. read more

New Garden M Restaurant - Mongolian Beef - Chinese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

5/5 for service, ambience and food. M Garden has such a lovely vibe with the cozy plant decor and friendly service. The lunch combos (ranging from $22-27) are always so filling and the perfect amount of food. Whether you're a jjamppong or jjajang lover, you can get your favorite noodles and also try another dish, such as Mongolian beef or kkanpung shrimp on the side with the lunch meal. The Mongolian beef is amazing, with the perfect blend of sweet and smoky flavors, which inspired me to write this review. My personal favorite jjampong- fire, with noodles cooked to perfection every time. Your meal is accompanied by an appetizing egg drop/ mushroom soup and the best jasmine tea. Love this place, don't let this classic be forgotten in your Chinese-Korean food rotation! read more

Came here for the jajangmyeon and will say it was a solid 7/10. Wish it had more earthy flavor but this place may have been founded by a chef that specialized in it (from the Swiss hotel?) I google translated an article they have posted outside the restaurant. Was pleasantly surprised by the mushu pork and eggplant. The eggplant was battered which is different than most garlic eggplant dishes I've had before. Once it soaked up the gravy and sauce, it tasted better and less dry. This place is very large inside, and tables are seated super close to each other (which makes sense to accommodate more people), but it was a bit snug! There were lots of smaller private rooms along the sides which would be good for events! read more

We were in the area and turned to Yelp to find a dinner spot--it led us to this place. We were craving jiajangmyeon, and it turned out to be perfect: rich, flavorful, and delicious. We also ordered the sweet and sour pork, which was a unique twist on the traditional version you'd find at a Chinese restaurant. Instead of being drenched in sauce, the pork came dry-fried with a sweet and sour dipping sauce on the side. I really liked this approach--it lets you control how much sauce you use, and the addition of woodear mushrooms in the sauce was a nice touch. We also had the sautéed green beans, and they brought out a bowl of rice to go with everything, which was appreciated. Overall, it was a satisfying and enjoyable meal. And the complimentary candied sweet potato treat at the end? A nostalgic surprise--it tasted just like how my dad used to make it. read more

New Garden M Restaurant - Rice, sauce for pork, jiajangmyeon, green beans, sweet and sour pork - Chinese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I had no idea this place existed until recently because I'm in this area all the time and can't believe I slept on it for this long. The ambiance here easily reminded me of one of my favorite Chinese/Korean spots in Garden Grove (Peking Gourmet). And if you've read my reviews, you already know I live for a jajangmyeon + tangsuyuk combo. Service left a lot to be desired, but let's be real you don't come to a place like this expecting 5-star service. The truth is in the food. Jajangmyeon - Huge portion (def sharable) and super reasonably priced. The noodles were slippery, chewy, and perfect. Solid 8/10. Tangsuyuk - They definitely use potato starch here and it shows. Perfect chew, crisp coating, and the pork was moist (not dry at all). Easily a 9/10 - probably one of the better versions I've had. Overall, this spot is a strong contender and I'll definitely be back whether that be for takeout or getting my monthly fix of jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. read more

Place fell off like crazy. Used to be the noodle goat 99 overall now it's below average. Heard the ownership changed but not 100% sure. It's honestly more of an effort issue than a taste issue. You can tell they don't care that much in the kitchen. I ordered the jajangmyeong and the noodles were super gummy, felt like they left them out sitting for a while. My friend ordered the jjampojg and the broth was watery. The service was really good tho no problems there just the food was pretty subpar. read more

Good old korean chinese place located inside the same plaza as Hanmi Bank and Harvard Optical. Parking can get super crowded on a busy day but I haven't been there in a while. We used to always get togo during covid times. Their prices have gone up and I think with the new management/ownership I feel like the prices are pretty high. We are such boring people so we usually get the same things at korean chinese places (Jjajangmyun, Jjamppong, sweet and sour pork and chili shrimp). One thing that kind of stopped me from returning was when we order the chili shrimp I feel like the shrimp is a bit dry. Sauce and everything else is good. Also unlike other chinese places this place gives your onions and choonjang and pickled danmooji as well. This place used to be our family gathering spot for any events like birthdays and graduations. They have a big room you can rent out or smaller rooms as well. One thing I love about this place is the sweet potato mattang they give at the end. read more

Haven't been here in YEARS but my family used to come here all the time. We celebrated so many birthdays in the private room. I heard that they changed ownership but the food still hits the same My sister & I ordered 2 lunch specials. We got the kkangppong shrimp + black bean noodles & the tangsuyuk + spicy seafood noodles Both the noodle dishes were amazing, the black bean noodle is always a classic. The jjamppong was soooo good, literally my favorite. The noodles are perfect! So chewy and holds flavor so well. broth was so rich with flavor and had the perfect kick of spiciness Service was great! The servers are extremely attentive and fast. They're really nice too I can't to come back & I highly recommend to anyone who wants some really good Korean/Chinese food read more

This place business is unethical. They tend to add $2-$4 for take outs. This happened multiple times. Make sure to ask for itemized receipts and check the price for take outs. If you check against their menu then you will realize they add couple dollars here and there. I asked them why this is and their response was it's because they haven't updated the take out menu but I checked against their full dining menu and my receipt still had higher price. No matter how good their food is I won't eat at the restaurant where they rip you off behind the scene. Maybe I should report their practice to Better Business Bureau. In the other hand their food is good and the service is very courteous and friendly. read more

New Garden M Restaurant is a Korean-Chinese-style spot that is great for family and friends of large groups. This place is family style so the portions are all sharable. Came here for a birthday and were seated in one of their private rooms. You can enjoy some delicious food with a wide variety of menu items. I like the seafood noodles the most! It has so many ingredients inside and just a nice light broth. My friends enjoyed this deep-fried pork item that you dip into a sauce. Overall we had a good time with a large party of 18. They also let us make reservations early to be able to hold the tables for the private room. read more

2.5 stars: I'm not a fan of low ratings but tonight's experience was a miss. My husband and I arrived at 8:15 pm Saturday evening. We were told by a waitress/hostess that last order was in a few minutes. Weird since they close at 9pm but that's fine, we already knew what to order before we even arrived there. We were seated and then the same lady came by in a few minutes and tells us that the kitchen had already turned off the stoves but turned it back because of us. She then proceeded to tell us to come earlier next time. Sorry for not living close by. It's a bit of a drive and we did what we could to get there as soon as possible. I'm not a fan of eating too late but cravings happen from time to time. Given the closing time, we were under the impression that kitchen would still be taking orders well before 8:30 pm. Had we known that they wouldn't be taking orders at that time, we would have left. We don't like inconveniencing others either. However we were still seated by the same person and given the option to order quickly so not sure why this lady kept saying things to (dare I say) guilt trip us. Definitely rubbed us the wrong way and I found myself trying to finish the food as quickly as I could to get out asap. The beef tang soo yook and a different waitress and server were the saving grace for the night and for the stars/tip alone. Best beef tang soo yook by far for sure! And the mat tang is always a hit as well. read more

The service was not really good and I had to call the waiter over multiple times to get more rice. The danmuji (yellow radish) side dish was limp, but the raw onion side dish was fine, as it only involved cutting it as prep. The sweet and sour pork was bland, the fried rice was fine, the jjajangmyeon was bland and the noodles were like udon noodles, and the mapo tofu was pretty good. I am very disappointed with how much the food quality has declined compared to when I ate at new Garden 6-10 years ago. read more

I've been here once before a couple of years ago and had a better experience. The food is good and the waitress we had was very attentive. They added these bells (like doorbell) to every table which made it very convenient to let her know we needed something. Okay, here was the ISSUE: When I went to pay the bill I circled the amount total and zero'd the tip part (I left MORE than 20% CASH on the table). As the lady handed me my receipt she noticed I left no tip on the transaction slip. She actually pointed this out to me and I apologetically told her that I left CASH on the table. I don't know if she didn't understand me but she then tried to give me a black tray...I guess to put money in. I awardly laughed and repeated, this time with hand gestures that I had already put the CASH tip on the table. I KID U NOT...she closed the register and checked our table (my wife later asked me why she came to the table as our party was leaving). This is the first time something like this has happened to us and I would have never come back if it happened to us the first time. We all laughed it off but just not a good impression (tacky). read more

New Garden Chinese Restaurant might just be my new go-to spot for comfort food with serious flavor. What we ordered: Black Bean Noodles (Jajangmyeon): Silky, chewy noodles coated in a glossy black bean sauce that had just the right balance of savory and slightly sweet. Each bite was rich without being heavy, and we found ourselves chasing down every last strand. Mongolian Beef: Tender slices of beef with that perfect sear, tossed in a sauce that clung to the meat without drowning it. Sweet, savory, and a little smoky--exactly how Mongolian beef should taste. Tang Soo Yook (Crispy Beef in Sweet & Sour Sauce): Hands down, the star of the night. Crispy, golden exterior with beef that stayed juicy inside, all paired with a sauce that was tangy but not cloyingly sweet. It had that perfect crunch-to-sauce ratio that makes you keep reaching back for "just one more." Service & Atmosphere: Friendly staff who were quick to answer questions and made sure our table never felt overlooked. The restaurant itself feels welcoming--casual enough for a weeknight dinner, but polished enough to bring friends or family for a celebratory meal. read more

Had lunch at New Garden M and walked away genuinely impressed. We ordered the jajjangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, and fried shrimp. Each dish stood on its own, which isn't always the case when you order a spread like that. The jajjangmyeon was the standout for me. The noodles were chewy and coated in a rich black bean sauce that had just the right amount of savory depth. The sweet and sour pork had a crisp coating that held up even after sitting for a bit, and the sauce leaned more tangy than sugary, which I appreciated. Mongolian beef was flavorful without being greasy, with tender slices of meat and a nice heat to it. The fried shrimp had a light crunch and clean taste, no heavy oiliness. Service was attentive and warm. They checked in just enough without hovering, and our food came out hot and well-paced. You can tell they've got things running smoothly in the kitchen. The space is casual and low-key, with plenty of seating and a comfortable layout. Nothing flashy, but it feels welcoming. Good spot for a laid-back dinner when you're craving solid Korean-Chinese dishes that hit the mark. read more

The food was average at best, but what really upset us was the way we were charged. They acted as if they were giving us something for free, then included it on the bill. It was even worse because it was food we didn't order or eat. This felt very misleading. Even if this were the only Chinese restaurant in California. I would never come back. read more

I will never ever will go to this place ever again. Worse experience I ever had for dinner. I have to ring the bell 3 to 4 time to order food and it takes forever to get the food.
