I ate here today for the first time. Had several appetizers and King Pao chicken. This is the only Chinese restaurant near downtown where I had to be today. This was my first visit. I am extremely picky about Chinese food. I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was terrific. The vegetables were fresh and crispy and the sauces perfect. I will be back! read more

I've been eating here for about a year now, and the food has always been awesome. But omg, they changed their regular cooks for some of the best cooks in town. The food and service have never been better. I will always be a loyal New Garden patron if the food stays as delicious as it has been this last week. Yummy. read more

The service is good and fast. The food is good and large portions. Had the Orange Chicken, Beef Chow Mein, and Kung Pao Chicken, all good. Will go back soon to try more on their menu. read more

This place is a gem. Opened in 1945!! Probably making it one of oldest running Chinese restaurant in Arizona. The service is amazing, it is clean and the portions are huge!! I want all of phx to know that this great place is right around the corner and is a must try! read more

I would definitely go back for the egg rolls but the rest of my food just not that good. I ordered the shrimp egg foo young the sauce was watery and the egg foo was falling apart not good at all I gave it away when I got back work and no chicken wings. The old school music playing was great. ill go back but I will try something else the egg rolls where unique and one of a kind will read more

I began working in the neighborhood about a year and a half ago and this is my favorite sit down spot for Chinese food. I've had many items from the menu and have never had anything that wasn't totally enjoyable. When you order fried rice, they will ask you if you want sprouts. I definitely like that. Also, you can ask them to make it spicy and it comes out with a little bit of spice, but still tasting of quality fried rice. I love that you park in back and enter through the kitchen. The kitchen staff is so nice and kind. After going there for awhile, they may surprise you with a free item occasionally, that you haven't ordered (ie. soup, some wontons). I like that they have combinations that you can pick 2 of the four items to go along with. One word of warning, the portions are large, so plan to take some home or come with a huge appetite. Also, if you are struggling between the small and large soup, their small is like a large everywhere else. Unlike the typical Chinese restaurant, they play 50s & 60s R&B. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I definitely recommend you try it out! I forgot to mention, what really attracted me at the first visit was how fresh the vegetables tasted. They tasted like they were fresh picked from the garden. read more

Life is about decisions, whether they be right or wrong you will ultimately have to make them. I made the decision to try out this chinese restaurant and it was life altering. I will never forget that day. It's like witnessing the birth of your first child. The food was so good that it truly is unexplainable. The food is like your favorite cereal consistently good every time. I love this place and everything about it. You know on black friday when people camp outside to get the good deals on tv's and stuff? I am surprised that their wasn't a string of tents outside of this place.The people are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They are always playing oldies on the radio. Try this place out and you will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

AUTHENTIC!! The fried shrimp! Is so good. The chicken chop suey is so good and juicy. The area is a little creepy. But like they say don't judge a book by its cover. You go in thru the kitchen and prices are very reasonable portions are very generous. The only think I don't care for is there are no fountain drinks. It's a cold soda can for a $1. read more

I have been eating here for years, noticed the new cooks they said they are all related. The food was great but taste different. Love this spot read more

Went to New Garden this past Saturday 1/26/19 for dinner. Waiter was Awesome kid! Ordered the Sweet N Sour Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein and Egg Roll, the food was BOMB!! Nobody makes the chow mein like they do!! Bean sprouts and crispy noodles on the bottom!! That is my fave! I would totally recommend this place for real, delicious, chinese food! Can't wait to go back read more

The best chinese food ever! Huge portions. The best sweet and sour chicken I've come across. Love their chop suey style egg rolls. It would get 5 stars but the place is kind of shady. I still go though! The food is worth it as long as you're not a snob. read more

Best Chinese restaurant I have been to. Good customer service, fair prices and large servings of food that can be shared amongst friends and family. The location and building might seem skeptical but the experience there is amazing. 5/5 from me. read more

Me and my family have been coming to New Garden for over 30 years. They are famous for their egg rolls. No matter how fancy a restraunt I go to they don't compare to the delicious fried rice they make not to mention the other delightful dishes. The atmosphere is humble and warm as the owners. They never disappoint. Always a smile with good service. Live it! read more

New Garden Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Enjoyed the house fried rice. Staff was courteous and the restaurant and kitchen appeared very clean. I would return again.

This is a Dive one of the best; walking into the restaurant from the back parking lot puts you right in the kitchen where the woks are hard at work. Oh boy! My mouth watered as I made my way to my table. It's a family owed restaurant with locals and loyalty returning customers like myself !!! They are ALOT cheaper and WAY better then Sigh High down the street. I recommend Pork Egg Fu Young, Pork Noddle, Pork Fried Rice OMG the Crab Puffs OO!!! soo good!!! Egg Rolls Huge. I hope to eat here for years to come. New Garden OWNERS PLEASE TELL ME YOUR HERE TO STAY!! read more

This restaurant is horrible!! Hole in the wall!! Filthy!! I ordered Mongolian Chicken and quite honestly, it was $10 and I was truly afraid to eat it. I enjoy eating in hole in the wall restaurants, but this one was past the point of no return. I will never recommend to anybody and will certainly not go back. I don't know who did the Urban Spoon reviews for this restaurant, but I want to have the tendency to believe it was the owners or family and not real customers. read more

Don't judge the book by the cover! Great Chinese Food. Must order a vegetable egg roll you will not regret it! read more

I ordered the Sesame Chicken combo and it was to die for! Very friendly staff and great music as well. I highly recommend this place.

Pretty dang good hole in the wall restaurant! You get a lot for your money... been here twice. Will come back soon

Been going there since I was a child. My favorite place to eat. The way the vegetables are all cooked to perfection. Fried rice is just the way I like it. Sweet and sour is delicious. The servings are generous. Family owned. I'm treated with respect and courtesy. Haven't found a better place yet. read more

Im about to tell you a secret....a BIG Secret...my husband and I have been on a quest for good chinese food since we met....it literally is a hobby. We recently moved out here and friend knew exactly what and where to take us. It started with a backseat ride in my own car because I didnt know the area and already my anxiety was strong because I was not in my own surroundings....we pass a place with a door and the words Chinese Food written on it. "This cant be it I thought." But it was....slowly I get out of the car with my friends and make my way through the door. My husband hesitates opening the door because it felt so uninviting. Finally we walked in and there were about 3 other families eating there. The place was no 5 stars in the environment but I was in it. Anything for the best chinese food. We sat down and my friends exchanged a chuckle to the gal that took our order. " Your back so soon!" We ordered family style and when the food came my chinese food dreams came true. It was all good. The rice, the Mongolian beef, the chow mein.....and the best part is the huge egg rolls....a fatty's (I mean foodie's dream.) It was a feast I will always remember....my realization since the last best chinese food experience in Seattle Washington is this ..."If you feel you shouldn't be there....you should. The best things in life are kept secret for a reason." read more

It's the best Chinese food before you go to the baseball or basketball game. You gotta try the food since you got nothing to lose by the way. Also you gotta try the natural coffee which they are serving now which has many health benefits. Thank you New Garden Restaurant. read more

I have been coming here for over 20 years and I'm 30 lol. This is a family run business that has been around forever. Amazing, authentic Chinese food. House fried rice, sweet and sour pork, hun sieu gai and hot & sour soup are always on the table. Best way to order is family style. We always walk in through the back kitchen and the owner is the only waiter. It's small and a little scary but it's sooooooo yummy. If you want ambiance just think, Chinese food and oldies - sold read more

Stopped by for lunch today. We were intrigued by the "Chinese Food" sign on the building. We ordered orange chicken and mongolian beef. Both were better than we expected. Service was fast, and we never had to wait for refills. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is because their soda is purchased by the can. read more

This place has been around for a long time (at least 30 years). Apparently it used to be quite a popular hang out for certain circles back in the day, and many locals still regularly visit. The location is in a small nondescript building on the corner. You can enter through the front door or through the back door from the parking lot and walk through the kitchen (somewhat odd, but ok..). The dining area is a small wood panel lined room with only a single tiny half window. You are definitely not here to enjoy the atmosphere. The menu choice is a bit limited. I tried the egg flower soup (yummy), pork fried rice (good), mongolian beef (not bad), and shrimp chop suey (not bad). It was basic fast food chinese fare, good but not great. Also soft drinks only come in cans. The food certainly did not impress, nor did anything else really. On my own, I probably would not return here, however, my friend is one of those locals I referred to above so I'm sure I will be back. The owners are very friendly as well. read more

I have been going there sence I was in high school.same owner but lease it out. you can park in the back an come on in through the kitchen they are like family to every one.they start you out with a bowl of egg drup soup an wonton.the tea is the bomb baby.i ordered wonton soup to go one time,oh man it was so much I had to share it with my lady. read more

Got to say that if I hadn't read the yelp reviews, I would not have gone in this place. The area definately looks sketch, but the food was AMAZING, large portions, great prices. Would recommend to all!! Don't judge a book by the cover read more

11/4/16 use to love the place, was the best Chinese food in town. I have gone there for over thirty years n hadn't been there in a while but was craving their food so decided to go and when I got there I noticed new workers taking my order and so I asked if they have changed owners and cooks, the person taking my order lied and said no the owner will be back in a month and that the food was still the same and the cooks were still the same people but as I walked threw the back, as they do allow that to get to your car, I noticed they weren't. Let me remind you I did order it as take out so I didn't get a chance to see or taste the food until I got home. I don't live very far from the place, when I got home the food was very soggy and very oily and nasty. the fried shrimp was very dry and very hard, hard as rocks. The egg roles were made from completely different ingredients then they use to make it with and was very terrible. I'm not a very picky eater but this food was just plain out nasty, never in my life have ever been so dipleased. I had to throw $30 worth of food away. I was scared to feed it to my family because I got so sick from eating what little I did end up eating. When I called and spoke to the person that took my order I was disrespected and lied to he ended up telling that they were in fact all knew cook and not even the same owners. I really edvise anyone who is plaining on eating there to not and please don't feed it to your childrens, as I got really sick from eating their food. and for my personal opinion it doest even diserve the one star. THEIR FOOD IS NOT THE SAME. I have eaten there since my children were babies and never have I been so disrespected, lied to and displease. for yours and your families safety DO NOT EAT THERE. THANK YOU read more

Place is around 50years old. Not your fancy place. The best egg fu young in town,

Really great Chinese food. Loved the hot and sour soup and kung pao chicken and shrimp. Great service too, very quick and attentive.

Always consistently great food. My favorite crab puffs, beef with broccoli and house noodle soup.

I love this place! I have been coming since I was kid. If I show someone a picture of my Ice Tea and Egg Rolls they already know where I am at. Not one negative remark could change my mind. I've given a lot of Chinese Restuarants a chance and non have come close. So to all the negative reviews keep eating at the PF Changs and Panda Express because this place is home to us from South Phoenix. read more

Oh my gosh. This place has to be the WORST food (and the word "food" is giving it much more credit than it deserves!) I have had better canned chinese food! Ordered Mongolian beef, had about 7 pieces of meat in it. No taste whatsoever ! I cannot believe this place has ever received a good review! read more

Went here for lunch and got the House Special Chicken. I also got a bowl of egg soup that was well flavored and great when mixed with hot sauce and a egg roll that was crispy and filling. The food was fast and the service was great. The House special chicken was excellent it had a crunch to it which I liked as well as a good blend of flavor in the chicken. I had a lot to take home too because of the large serving size which caught me off guard. I will most definitely be coming back for lunch or bringing friends and family here for dinner. read more
