We are always on the search for authentic Chinese (especially Sichuan) food. We stopped at North Garden because they offer dim sum, which is usually a good sign. We stopped in for dinner and got: - "Pan-fried" Peking raviolis - Beef with ginger and scallion hotpot. First, the raviolis came out deep-fried, not pan-fried. Which is fine, but there is a difference and should be reflected on the menu. They were good, but being fully fried, the texture is different from a pan-fried dumpling. Next, the beef hotpot. It came out in a sizzling bowl. It was a large portion of beef, mushrooms, and vegetables (mostly onion). The flavor was okay. Certainly nothing offensive, and it was good, although a bit oily, but it was lacking an OOMPH. I wish it had more ginger flavor. Or maybe fermented black bean - that would have kicked it up a notch. There are actually two separate spaces here: 1 is the dining area, and 1 is a bar and lounge. Both spaces can order the full menu. The dining space was clean and casual. The staff working there were very nice and super friendly. From our experience, it's a middle-of-the-road Chinese restaurant, a place I'd go again but not a place I'd go out of my way for. read more

Second time here for dim sum. The sticky rice in lotus leaves was by far the best I've tasted in awhile. I also had the shrimp dumplings which were good. The fried sticky rice balls with sesame and the filling is a sweet lotus pod --it was freshly made and so good. The black tea with my dim sum was the perfect compliment. Again, the sticky rice in lotus leaves was so so so good. I'll be back for dim sum more often. I left thinking this is the best dim sum in New Hampshire. The service was efficient and good. read more

Second visit was disappointed. Radish cakes lacked shrimp and scallions. Deep fried dumplings had very little meat. Steamed pork buns had nasty meat quality. Beef balls too thick and flavorless. read more

I love this place for specific dishes: pork intestines hot pot, salty fish fried rice! I don't think any place in Manchester has those two dishes that cooked as good as this place. When ordering pork intestine hot pot, you should order white Rice to eat with it. The service is nice too, never have any trouble while dining here This is like a family vibe restaurant, very cozy. I always come here for a quick meal read more

Went there with a few friends and had great food and great service and cold beer. Ambiance was good also.

Acceptable Chinese food for the area. Food arrived quickly and drinks were on point. We walked in with 14 people Sunday at 6 pm. No wait. read more

Service was great, smaller place! We had the D1 dinner combo and crab Rangoon. Overall decent Chinese food! My favorite was the beef teriyaki! It was nice and tender read more

The food was lacking in flavor and the boneless spareribs were so tough they were not even worth eating. But the kicker was we did takeout and bought THREE main courses and they included no white rice. That is expected when you order dishes like sweet and sour chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, etc. They should have told us that when we picked up that there was no white rice. I also looked on the menu and it did not indicate this. I'm giving them one star because the hot the sour soup was actually really good. read more

Do you want dim sum but don't want to go all the way down to Boston and deal with the traffic and parking? Then this is the place to go! This is one of the only places in NH that has dim sum. We tried pretty much everything and everything was great. Everything was fresh and hot, unlike some of the more popular Boston dim sum places where things have been sitting out for a while so it's lukewarm. Out of everything we've tried, here are some things we recommend: Chicken claw in black bean sauce: this might be a bit more adventurous pick for most, but it is so good. Not too salty, but perfectly pairs with a side of white rice. Not the easiest to eat, but chewy and very good. Shrimp in rice rolls: This is a dim sum staple we get everywhere, and theirs is really chewy outside and has no fishy smell to shrimp. Sesame balls and egg tarts: These came out hot and delicious. Goes well as dessert. Aside from the food, the service was also really fast, and the servers were very accommodating and jovial. And to top it all off, the prices were much more reasonable than Boston places. So this place has it all: the good food, great service and very reasonable prices. Definitely check this place out. read more

Food melted through container(styrofoam). Staple in food also. Burned my finger trying to get food out of bag. I didn't know container was melted on bottom. Restaurant made food over. I showed my burnt finger lady was indifferent and then told me to be careful this time with food. This will be last visit to this restaurant needless to to say. read more

I've been coming to North Garden with my family since I was young at their very first location which is now Pizza 911. The food is always fresh tasting, and the staff is always very welcoming and accommodating. Since their inclusion of dim sum on the menu I almost always come for it. My favorite is the sui Mai. The restaurant has an inviting dining area with a small bar with opposite side having a large lounge and bar. There is something for everyone. read more

2nd visit, hubby said house egg foo young was the best he's had, but the gravy was lacking. I tried crispy noodles with shrimp, chicken, beef and veg. Very good, lots of everything in it. Sauce very similar to the egg foo gravy (thin) Music via juke box, nice staff. read more

Don't get the General Gaus meal.. awful.. will not order again..go elsewhere.. Seemed like it was strips of bad meat I was eating..

The best service the chicken and rice were sooooo good. The floors were clean and my food arrived very quickly. I RECCOMEND EATING HERE.

Great Cantonese style food! We have dinner and tried their dim sum next day. The dim sum is freshly made on weekend. The shrimp rice noodles and rice noodles with dry shrimp are super silky smooth . Found out they're in business for 30+ years. It's nice to know great Chinese food in New Hampshire. read more

We have visited twice for dim sum and had 2 very different experiences. Our first visit was incredible! Everything was fast, hot, and very fresh tasting. Staff were attentive and it was a very enjoyable experience. Our second visit makes us not want to go back. Food was tepid, tasted old, and some items never arrived. When staff came to drop off the bill they asked if we got everything. When we said no, they asked if we wanted them to put the dumplings in. Clearly they knew that we did not receive our full order. At this time I don't see is going back, sadly. read more

We had a dim sum brunch here with a large group of friends last Sunday at noon. The entire has open- as well as the dim sum menu. It is great that Dim Sum is offered here as it is a long drive to the greater Boston area to get it. We were all sat at 2 tables and not 1 large one which made it a bit awkward but it worked out in the end. Service was friendly and pleasant- drinks came out fast. Mixed drinks were a bit weak but were properly made and tasted good. Food came out sporadically and tasted fresh and seasoned well. I liked the hot chili oil on the table to spice things up. What other Chinese restaurant offers this? In the end, we all had a good time and will return when we have dim sum cravings. read more

The Food and Service was Awesome. Was out with Wife, Godson. His Friend and Godson Mom for his Birthday!

Best in area everything and everytime things are cooked just right and fresh. Been to about a dozen places simply the best in my opinion.

Service was not as expected (slow and not overly friendly). The food was disappointing considering we had ordered several times prior. The restaurant would not consider soup changes. We will not go back! read more

North Garden offers a good Chinese menu offering the traditional Chinese fare, house specialties, Chinatown dishes, lunch & dinner combination plates, and Dim Sum. The restaurant has a full cocktail bar and a cozy dining room with light green colors, wood tables, and wood cushion seats. There's also Karaoke on Saturdays (9:00 PM to closing) in the separate cocktail lounge/function hall in back of the restaurant. After having Sunday Dim Sum at the sister restaurant South Garden in Merrimack (almost identical menus with slightly less selection), I was still in the mood for some more Dim Sum. I stopped in at the North Garden for some Monday Dim Sum. The 26 Dim Sum items are served on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (11:30 AM to 3:00 PM). The Dim Sum here is pretty good for NH standards without having to drive to Boston Chinatown. There's no traditional pushcart here, so you order off the placemat menu (pictures of some items). Prices range from $2.95 (dumplings, steamed buns) to $5.95 (beef or pork soup with rice noodles for 2). I ordered some complementary hot tea and the following Dim Sum items: Sampler of Steamed Buns (chicken, mashed lotus nuts, vanilla filling): $2.95 (small & very good) Grilled Bean Curd Sheet Rolled with Shrimp (3): $3.75 (bit chewy) Pan Fried Rice Rolls with Shrimp Filling: $3.80 (my favorite item here, not available at South Garden) Pork Soup with Rice Noodles (for 2): $5.95 (large soup bowl with hearty chicken broth, homemade rice noodles, pork, scallions, & Chinese broccoli, very good and filling) The food took about 10-15 minutes to come out because of the steaming process and had some missteps in the beginning with the wrong items such as Chicken Claws and Pork Rice Soup being brought out to the table, but were corrected with apologies. After the meal, the server brought the check out with a fortune cookie and pineapple cubes with toothpicks. Overall the food was pretty good and service was friendly here. read more

North Garden is a small, cozy restaurant that serves dim sum every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 11:30am-3:00pm. They also serve your traditional Chinese, Americanized Chinese, and Szechuan but my main purpose in checking out North Garden was to try out their dim sum. Their website allows you to order takeout online and pick up in 20 minutes. Pretty convenient and easy. I ordered my dim sum staples: steamed shrimp dumplings (hargow), steamed shrimp & pork dumplings (shumai), spare ribs w/black bean sauce, deep fried shrimp taro patties, fried taro turnovers, turnip cakes, and rice rolls with shrimp filling. These were a hit or miss. The steamed shrimp & pork dumplings were super tasty with the right amount of flavor and perfect texture. The steamed shrimp dumplings, however, were the complete opposite. The dumpling wrapper/skin was too hard which made it seem like the dish was microwaved VS steamed. The rice rolls with shrimp filling were abundant with shrimp but the texture of the actual rice noodle sheet left much to be desired. The turnip cakes were pretty solid and had good flavor. The deep fried shrimp taro patties were lacking in flavor...it desperately needed a little something something but other than that it wasn't too bad. The fried taro turnovers were weird - I wasn't a huge fan of the filling. A little too salty and isn't similar to the traditional fried taro filling I'm used to. The pork spare ribs with black bean sauce was pretty delicious. The pork was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. You'll definitely find better dim sum in Boston but beggars can't be choosers in Manchester, NH so if you're in the area, craving dim sum and not willing to make the trek to Boston then North Garden is an ok place. I'll come back to give their traditional dishes a try but their dim sum was pretty meh. I saw a table of Asian people had ordered the salt & pepper fried spicy squid and that looked pretty promising so that's next on my list! read more

Today we ordered $70 of food from this normally reputable location for our family. Upon delivery, it was very obviously the wrong order. Now, this can happen from time to time, but the exciting surprise we didn't expect was the following- not only did they ask my gf to drive their mistake back, they asked because apparently they intend to deliver this food to another customer! After it had been opened, pawed through by my gf, myself, and two children! Not only is this disgusting, and incredibly poor customer service, it's honestly dangerous and I'll certainly be forwarding this information on to the proper authorities for review, since I sincerely doubt this is the first time they've done this. Shame on you, North Garden. Gf checking in: the driver from DoorDash had actually warned me from the start that the bag had another name written on it, crossed out and then had mine written on it instead - in case something was wrong. Sure was. When I brought the wrong order back to North Garden - yes so they could actually then deliver it to the correct party - they blamed the driver for grabbing the wrong thing. All around terrible service on their part. Our dinner was barely above room temperature by this time, chewy and had no flipping rice. I imagine the recipient of the wrong-order-hot-potato had even colder food (don't worry bro we didn't lick or eat anything but I'm so sorry they sent that to you) read more

Got the Dim Sum here and it was pretty good and was around the same price range of $4-6/plate as they have in Boston. They serve Dim Sum only on Monday, Saturday and Sunday until 3pm. They have a nice size parking lot which is nice and convenient. I saw that they have wifi but I didn't use it and you have to ask for the password. They have a lot of variety of asian foods which is impressive. Next time ill try a plate of their walnut shrimp! Docked a couple points for the service. The front desk was attentive and nice but the guy serving seemed to only pay attention to other tables and wasn't as friendly to my table. I had to flag him down just to order and he wasn't very polite afterwards. Over all good food but mediocre service. Maybe just order take out and save yourself the tipping fee. read more

We ordered takeout tonight. The food was great! Nice assortment of different plates. We tried the chow foe fried rice under the "Chinatown dishes" portion of the menu. The tidbits plate, lo mein, wonton soup and crab Rangoon. The only reason they received a four star review instead of five stars is because a couple crab Rangoon didn't have any filling and the others had to much. We would definitely try this place again! read more

Very tasty! I had a craving for walnut shrimp midweek and my boyfriend who's from Manchester recommended this restaurant (he and his friends frequent the lounge area).
