Customer service or anything doesn't really stand out for me. But the food does! It's hard to find a really good Chinese place here and this place has delicious Chinese food as well as a good deal. You get really big portions for the price that you pay. I will get the dinner orders and have leftovers for days.. read more

Still very good and Love the BBQ Pork fried rice! We had orange chicken, spring rolls, huge egg rolls, crab puffs, shrimp egg fun yung and everything was delicious! My dad's favorite Chinese food spot. He brought us here growing up and still very good food. This place has had to be here more than 20 years for a reason. read more

OUR NEW FAVORITE HIDDEN GEM!!! While some restaurants are closed during this pandemic my boyfriend & I decided to check out some new local places and found that New Garden had great reviews so we checked them out. We had beef & broccoli, chicken fried rice & orange chicken & we were EXTREMELY satisfied with the food & service! They were super nice, adhered to social distancing rules & their portion sizes are super generous. Better than that their food is AMAZING! I couldn't stop talking about how good it was the entire time we were eating! We will definitely be going back! read more

Love this place ! Favorite Chinese spot, food is always cooked fresh & its more than enough for such a low price. Service was excellent, I am more than satisfied especially with the customer service. Highly recommended read more

We've been regulars for over 25 years and lately the food has changed. We recently ordered and our food was bland and the wrong soups were in the box when we got home. It's just not the same. We grew up in the neighborhood and now have to travel to get their food. We will have to find somewhere else, which is a shame since we used to take our whole family to eat there! read more

This is the only Chinese place we will go to. We moved here from Seattle and have been searching for great Chinese food. THIS IS IT! Their Orange Chicken is incredible and Broccoli beef is oh so good! We are always pleased with the service and friendliness of this amazing restaurant. read more

I would NEVER come back here. Got food poisoning from having their sesame chicken! GO ELSE WHERE!

My Husband and I went here today to get dinner for the family and mind you we have been faithfully coming here for YEARS.... but today that was a HORRIBLE mistake!! We came in and ordered three simple meals to go: 2 orders of Shrimp fried rice & 1 Shrimp lo mein......and we sat and waited and watched them serve the dining room repeatedly over and over and over in their hot ass dining room with no circulating air......no fans...no AC...nothing...for 45 minutes.....and when I asked about it....they had NO ANSWER....n didn't offer a discount...coupons for next time....NOTHING.....this us very likely my LAST TIME coming here!! read more

This is the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Here is a list of problems: 1. Too expensive for a hole in the wall. I ordered two entrees, fried rice, egg rolls and two beverages. The bill was $32.30 2. The egg roll was not an egg roll, it looked like a giant size deep fried hot pocket. 3. I asked the waitress if we could return the egg roll because it was not what I was expecting. I didn't even have a single bite. She told me it was already served to me so she wouldn't remove it from the bill. It was $3.50. It's not like I was asking for some special VIP treatment or asking for my meal to be comped. 4. To end my dinner, there was a cricket crawling on the wall behind me. That killed my appetite. Also the place looked like a dump. The ceiling looked like it had water damage. The whole place was trashy looking. In conclusion, the food wasn't good, customer service was horrible, and the place is a dump -both inside and out. EFF this place!!!! read more

Try a new spot. This place was good, can't say it was awesome. But define awesome and everyone ya a different view of it. We ordered the potstickers (very good actually) and the house lo mein. Out of the two the potstickers took the cake. Maybe next time we'll try something different. read more

It's a great place for when you want food good Chinese food!!! Portions are going to be on the larger size so bring an appetite!!!

Still open. I was about 9 or 10 when my parents took us there. I'm 42 now. Good news is that the food and the entrance is the same. Talk about tradition. Love your food and hope you guys stay open till my grand kids eat there and so on. Thank you for the memories. read more

Great hole in the wall Chinese restaurant.....got my fix for chinese food....been going here for years n still great place to eat. read more

I grew up eating in little hole in the wall chinese restaurants and I really wanted to like New Garden. I had driven past the place many times and thought it was abandoned but after looking on Google and seeing some good reviews on Yelp I decided to give the place a try. The interior matches the exterior, There were food stains on the wall next to the both I was eating in. The server laid out our place setting by handling the eating surface of every utensil she put down. One of the bowls they brought us was dirty too. The server never came around to see if we needed anything else but she did decide to drop off more napkins right as we were finishing our meal. The food isn't bad the prices don't match the service and the questionable cleanliness will make it enough for me to never come back. read more

New Garden was delicious! I recently moved to this side of town and needed a new place to get my favorite type of food. The food was amazing, everything was cooked precisely. I ordered chicken fried rice, chicken chow mein, and broccoli beef. Definitely coming back! read more

The chicken chop suey and house fried rice is BOMB AF!!! Totally worth the price it's similar to Sing high (ok sku Chinese ) restraint that closed ..the sweet/sour pork was bad seems like they forgot it and overcooked it cuz it was hard as a rock! I called and they brought a replacement n that was fine (better for a $5 delivery charge and $15 minimum order would definitely order again !! read more

Very authentic, clean, and reasonable prices. Would recommend to family and friends. I suggest going on a Monday or Tuesday because it is less busy and you would experience a more custom service. read more

Fantastic service! Delicious food! Excellent prices! Massive portions! This is a great case of 'Don't judge a book by its cover' read more

Went to az for a business trip. Got so hungry and this restaurant filled me up with happiness. The best experience I had in az. Don't like the racist people in Phoenix though. read more

New Garden Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had high expectations of this place due to the reviews on Yelp. However, my actual experience was anything but good. First, I ordered house chow mein and instead of getting chow mein, I got a box full of bean sprouts and other vegetables with a few shrimp and a little pork sprinkled in, with a separate bag of wonton crisps. There were NO noodles to be found. I was amazed - never have I ever been given chow mein without any actual noodles. Second, my boyfriend got house fried rice, which tasted good ....at first. We both found hairs in our portions, short hairs that I don't even want to know where they came from. Third, we had the house special chicken, which was the only dish that wasnt terrible. There was more fried flour than chicken meat , but the sauce was good. Finally, we were excited to try their massive egg rolls, but they were just 99% bean sprouts. The theme of New Garden seems to be reliance on endless amounts of bean sprouts. This was a truly disappointing experience. Im not sure if we just ordered the wrong items, but none of the items we ordered met my expectations. I will not be going back. read more

This has potential. 5 stars for the people lol. They are so sweet. I walked in and everyone said hello from the kitchen. The gentleman up front let me walk through the kitchen area to my car parked out back. It was so clean and neat! The food wasn't the best. The crab puffs are my favorite anywhere, and they were light on the filling but still delicious. The egg roll was battered. So to me at least, it retained a bit too much oil. I ordered chow mein pork and chicken teriyaki. Yes, as the other folks state the portions are HUGE, however it was all bean sprouts. Just bean sprouts and sauce and that's it. I will definitely try to return again and order something people rave about but my order just wasn't hitting the spot. I just wish it hit my craving for Chinese food. read more

Pretty good authentic tasty Chinese food, giant portions for the price! If you can get over the location and area it's a pretty good place to eat Chinese food! read more

A bit disappointed. The online menu says that hey have Sizzling Rice Soup - it's not true. As another writer noted, don't judge a book by it's cover. This is what appears to be a seedy run down building in a not too nice industrial area of town. The place doesn't even have windows! Service was ok. The food we ate was pretty good though - I'd say above average for Chinese food. Rating it a three however as they shouldn't post inaccurate or outdated menu information - and in our case, we went specifically for the soup. read more

My favorite Chinese since childhood. Use to live really close by at central park and this was our special restaurant. The flavors haven' changed. The egg roll is huge and lightly crisp filled with bean sprouts chicken and other veggies. The sauces are all really good. Love the teriyaki chicken, recommend a spicy shrimp with broccoli which is a white sauce not the dark you normally get with beef. BBQ Pork is a little hard, not always my favorite, but I'll eat it if it comes with my meal. Fried rice is all good, no matter the meat. My favorite is the chop suey. The restaurant is on the corner and you normally walk in through the back. The inside is spacious and normally some oldies are playing. Owners are super nice and you can always count on good consistent food. I have never had any issues with my order, parking or anything else. Be prepared to take home leftovers, unless you only get one plate for 3-4 people! They're closed on Wednesdays. read more

Passing by Phoenix on Christmas Day, most of the Chinese restaurants were closed, we don't have many options but pick this resturant for dinner which is closer to our hotel. We ordered chicken Lou mein, shrimp broccoli, Sesame chicken, pepper beef, chicken chop suey. They all taste good. 2 people of our party prefer spicy food, I would suggest the resturabt to add some spicy flavor dish in their menu. In general, the physical condition of this resturabt is not attractive, but the taste and the quantity of the food is beyond my expectation. the wait is a little bit long that night, understandable as so many people were eating there. At the end, the food quality earned my 5-star rate. If I live in Pheonix, I would come back often. read more

I've been coming here for a good 45 or so years, My parents came here when they were kids, that's a long time for a business to stay open & that says alot! I haven't been here to eat in awhile so decided to stop by for some nostalgia, to my surprise the decor hasn't changed at all but the food isn't the same, or could it be My taste buds have Changed, not sure but the portions are still huge the prices are still very affordable, and I would still keep coming back, if not for the food, for the Memories I have each time I walk into that old run down building, and of course the Oldies But Goodies playing in the background are a Plus. read more

We ordered the orange chicken and there was too much breading and sauce, tasted mushy. We also ordered the house lo mein noodles and the chicken wasn't seasoned at all, pretty bland. The noodles themselves were ok. We also got fried rice and it had huge chunks of broccoli in it. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid, best Chinese spot in Phoenix! I recommend the beef lo mein & the pork fried rice!

Very good egg foo young! The fried rice is fantastic, worth the drive. Located south of Van Buren in the central phoenix area. One of the better Chinese food neighborhood places to eat at, not at all fancy but good. Don't expect a high end fancy place, you will be disappointed. Go for the food not the aesthetics. Enjoy... read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant, but it just didn't do much for me. The food was under-seasoned. The kung pao chicken I ordered wasn't spicy at all, and also wasn't that hot, temperature-wise. Cups weren't all that clean. Service was indifferent. Actually, I could easily have overlooked the cups and service if the food had been better, but it just wasn't that good. read more

This place is fantastic! Ordered delivery last Friday and the staff is SO pleasant and kind. The food is the best I have found here in the valley. Ordered Beef Broccoli, Veggie egg rolls and Hot Chicken Wings. A friend picked up an order for us about a month ago. Got one of everything and it was also so good! If you are near West Downtown Phoenix - this is your place!! read more

If you are in the downtown Phoenix area you have got to try this place! I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant!! The food and service was amazing. This place is definitely what you would expect out of a "hole in the wall" restaurant, very authentic and your meal is cooked fresh. I would recommend you try their egg rolls and their sweet and sour pork or chicken, those are my two favorite, but I have tried other things on the menu and I have never been dissatisfied. The portion you get for what you pay is incomparable. Don't judge the outside and location of this place as you will definitely be happy you tried it. read more

Don't be fooled by the exterior of this resturant, the food is delish and does not dissapoint! Great service and super friendly. Large portions for a great price. If your looking for amazing Chinese food and in the downtown area, defintely check this place out!!! read more

Always go with my family, I love it. The employees are friendly and the food is so delicious!

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

Grew up eating this! We walk right through the back door. Dont come here if your looking for atmosphere.Its all about the hot, fresh crispy food. Looove the pork fried rice, sesame chicken, ice tea and those big ass deliciously fried egg rolls! The oldies playing in the back deffinatley sets the mood. Family music right there. This place is love. read more

I gave this place a chance but was very disappointed. It's a block building with a couple of small glass block windows you can't even see out of. I thought the food would be better. It seemed like the egg rolls were some type of signature dish at the restaurant. They were hard with no flavor. I had the chicken and shrimp kung pao plate. They gave me fatty dark meat and milky white uncooked shrimp. I didn't eat the shrimp and only small pieces of the dark meat chicken. None of the chicken tasted fresh so I only ate a couple pieces of chicken. I had water with lemon but the water tasted like tap water, not even filtered. The plate was $10. I should of at least got white meat instead of dark for that price. I will not be going back. 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
