Ordered takeout. Grilled salmon and rice noodles. Salmon was thin, overcooked. Bone dry and inedible. The rice noodles were soggy and in a gross sauce. And tasteless miso soup. A $68 meal that I had to throw out. First time ordering there and last time. read more

I had a great evening out with my buddy Saturday evening. We had drinks at the bar and watched/ listened to some unbelievable karaoke talent and had some appetizers. The food was great. We will be back! read more

Amazing sushi! Amazing service! 5 dollars every Thursday night. Great atmosphere. Will be back read more

Ray's New Garden - Sushi Bars Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

I'm a long time New Garden patron. The atmosphere at the new location is nice, tons of TVs in the bar and new everything. The parking is still terrible and the body shop next door makes the area not look so nice but inside is good and the service was prompt and courteous like normal. They completely changed the menu unfortunately and lots of my favorites are gone. I'll come back to new garden every once in a while but I don't think it will be my go-to Chinese restaurant anymore with this new menu. Bring back the old menu and I'll be a regular again. read more

This is correct New Garden. Ordered rib eye steak for $26 which was suppose to come red bliss potatoes, unfortunately once I got home I found out it came with pork fried rice. Pork and steak??? read more

Ray's New Garden - This is correct New Garden. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

Went in early on a Friday the place was packed! Ray and his team did a great job designing the place and they added sushi and Asian fusion entire items. The hostess was super friendly and knew her stuff our waitress was excellent especially since she told us two of the wait staff didn't show. The food was really good. Loved the boneless ribs the chicken wings and scallion pie all really great. The Lo Mien was good but the flank steak and shrimp failed. The only other issue we had was that the main dishes weren't family style but rather individual with rice and green beans which we had no idea. Oh and the Mia Tai's were tasty and strong! read more

Great food and sushi, bar is excellent as well with tons of TV's. Live music some nights also, new sushi bar with tons of fresh fish. Ray the owner is very friendly. read more

We enjoyed the Sushi Lunch. As you can see from the picture it was plentiful, fresh and delicious. My only small critique would be in the presentation. I've had sushi elsewhere and the plate decoration with flavorful drizzle would make a huge aesthetic and flavor addition. The soup that came with the meal was very good as well. Definitely worth returning for. read more

Glad I tried out the new New Garden, I'd only tried this place a couple of times before they moved. The new location is open and welcoming, as are the staff. We were seated in the sushi bar section. The sushi was good and the fish fresh, I also ordered the fried oyster appetizer and a noodle dish. I'll definitely be back, especially for the sushi. read more

Zero rating - Monday 11-5-18 placed an order at restaurant at 6:12 PM. - told 15 to 20 minutes - at 6:52 PM - had to ask where my order was - at least one other Customer came in after me and got order before me. Will not be going here again. Found it also expensive... read more

DELICIOUS! A little hidden gem in Needham -- definitely recommend the Mai Tai if you're more on the sweet side. I will definitely be back! read more

Food is very fresh. Sauces on main entrees are excellent. Only issue would be too much batter on sesame chicken. Don't know if General Gau has the same issue. Best boneless ribs and crab rangoon in Metro West! Service is outstanding. Hong, Garrett and Val's attention to detail is second to none. Food is so good here, my neighbors travel 20 minutes for their takeout, and we have three (3) Asian restaurants in our town! read more

Great decor! Fast and friendly service. Outstanding cocktail called the "tiny dancer". We had the pork gyoza which was very good. The crab rangoons were ok but a crab walked through it-not much crab but delish melty cheese and big portion. Dinner was pork lettuce cups which were savory not sweet like mu shui but a huge portion. Orange checken was good large chunks of chicken not all breading and good spicy sauce-comparable to panda express. read more

Ray's New Garden - Sushi Bars Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

I'm working in the area and have been trying out the restaurants. Gave this one a try today and it was really good! I got one of the lunch specials, shrimp with lobster sauce and pork fried rice. You can pick a soup to go with it- miso, wonton, or hot & sour. I got wonton. The lunch portion was pretty big, I couldn't finish it and have more than enough left over for dinner. The shrimp was big and it came with 4-5 pieces. Lots of meat in the sauce. The rice could've had a little more flavor but it was still good. I didn't dine in but the restaurant is very pretty inside. Nice full bar. read more

I went there last night (11.40pm) and I am absolutely amazed by this restaurant! Never been there before but definitely will come back. Trust me this is THE ONLY place in Needham with fresh and Out-of-this-world SUSHI! We tried their best roll ( Phoenix roll) and it was super! We also ordered beef, crab rangoon, spicy salmon roll and crazy roll. The food was amazing! I loved the service a lot because the owner ( Ray) and our waitress ( Valerie) treated us like we were very special. They were really friendly and helpful even though it was already last call time. Ray gave us a table in a quieter room when we asked and we had wonderful time in the restaurant. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! read more

The perfect place for wonderful food. And not just Chinese. Delicious grilled Salman. Terrific cheese burger, trust me. The place is perfect for sports. With enough screens to make everyone happy. Very comfortable and welcoming. read more

This is a solid place for Chinese food, some of our favorites are Lo Mien noodles, chicken fried rice, chicken fingers( my wife's favorite) and orange chicken. We have also got sushi here and it was good. They have a full bar and a nice seating area. read more

Love their chicken lo mein, the crab rangoon, and the peking ravioli. We used to get it all the time growing up and when we are all home we get it now. One of my favorite places in the area. read more

My mans Ray always hookin me up with that take out, I'm in and out in 1 minute after a short 20 minutes wait for the food. Pking ravioli, with ginger sauce is one of my favorite things to digest after a long day of bs read more

Terrible. Wish I could give 0 stars. Had a 615 reservation which I waited past 7 for and asked multiple employees for a chair for my injured grandfather to sit on and they ignored each request. Wouldn't recommend. Terrible ownership and management. read more

Pretty basic Asian fusion. You have typical Chinese dishes like general tsos and kung pao, as well as sushi and some handcrafted rolls. Then they have weird specials like spaghetti and meatballs and supposedly "outstanding burgers" per our waitress. Beer list is tiny and unspectacular, but they do have some nice cocktails. A bunch of tvs line he bar which is nice and they also have trivia on Wednesday nights, but besides the accompanied festivities, the food is very underwhelming. The poo poo platter is large but typical and the lettuce wraps were pretty unflavorful and didn't even come with a sauce such as hoisin. read more

Absolutely great Thursday night deal, $5 sushi rolls! Also saw a promotion for free ladies night on Tuesday 21+. Sushi was superb. One complaint was that it took a little bit longer than it should have for sushi to come to the table read more

I loved New Garden in it's old location. It was my go-to Chinese food place in Needham and a fun place for a Girl's Night Out. I had not been to their new location and I am sad to say, that I will not be returning. The prices have escalated, the service was horrible, (we were seated in the bar on a Saturday night and our server only had one other table that I could see) and the food was just not what I had come to expect from my previous experiences at the old New Garden. Suffice it to say that all that is new is not always what is good. Their new location and cheap decor did not win over this once loyal customer. read more

I was there the night before Thanksgiving which tends to be a big bar night for New Garden. I was extremely disappointed and upset with the way the hosts and servers were treating their guests. Overall, the employees were rude and unkind to their guests. I will not be going back to this establishment. read more

Mediocre overall. Very friendly people, good service, very nice facility. Good and unusual hot and sour soup. The rest of the food needs work. Very dry egg rolls. Bland sauces and noodles. The beef was not of very good quality. Not much reason to go back until the recipes are overhauled. read more

Occasionally we take out from here. It's always a good meal, hit and fresh. Usually it is ready in 10-20 mins and exactly at the time stated. This time it was a little slower due we were told to s kitchen mistake. When we got home our order was correct and delicious. Generous serving sizes. read more

i feel bad posting a negative review when restaurants are struggling - but this place is open and seems to be doing a decent take-away business - so i feel compelled to write an honest review. we got take-away sushi the other day - and sadly it was inedible. we threw 75% of it away without eating it. we didn't bother calling to complain or ask for a refund or anything like that - but we wanted others to know that our sushi take-away from ray's new garden was very, very poor. borderline inedible. considering we spent $150 during a difficult time when cash is an increasingly rare commodity - i wish i had called for my money back. read more

Love the new New Garden. Beautiful. Always friendly and the food is so delicious... Thanks Ray.

Ray's New Garden restaurant is great! The new restaurant is beautiful, sushi is delicious, and bar is a fun spot to enjoy a drink and watch games. Visit soon and ask for Ray - he'll treat you like family! read more

Went on sat night and ordered food. It came out a little later then expected . Ask for more water another waitress had to fill our glasses. I don't think I would go,back. If it's sushi u want maybe it's good. But disappointed in services . A little on the pricey side . R T Newton read more

The sashimi lunch was fantastic! Artfully presented and fresh and clean. The menu looks good with plenty of asain and American options. The interior is clean and modern, nice quiet atmosphere. read more

the best chinese food I have ever had. I live in Florida where most chinese food is basically not edible... I only get to once every few years when I visit. I have tried dozens - maybe hundreds of other restaurants since moving out of needham when I was 12 and literally nothing even comes close. I ate here last week on a visit up there. By myself. No shame. Please clone yourself and open one up in Florida. I guess I can only dream. read more

The new " Rays New Garden" was terrific! A stones throw from the old restaurant, the outside decor was a hint of Asian and the parking plentiful. The new restaurant has added sushi and Asian Fusian to its tradition Chinese fare. The new bar has enough TV's to follow every sporting event and the atmosphere is cool and attractive. Drinks are generous and prices are right. The sushi is really great. Some of the best I've had and reasonable! The place is packed at night but lunch is a little slower and a good time to visit. I've been both times and saw why so many people are talking about it. Certainly the best "new" restaurant in Needham!! read more

There are two sides to the restaurant. One is more quiet for dining and the other is more like a pub with a bar and lots of tv's. The service is excellent. Traditional Chinese menu as well as sushi. I highly recommend this place. Great mai tais and lettuce wraps! read more

Should be 0 stars. Had been to the restaurant before and was recently scarred by my experience. Here's what went down: Upon entering the bar, we were immediately forced to leave the bar area without any explanation. The manager was called to check our licenses and continued to be skeptical of us even though it was clear we were of legal drinking age. After sitting at our table, we were given one drink and told we were not allowed to order again despite the fact that she continued to ask and serve every single person sitting at that same table. Our three person party was treated poorly for no reason. During our two hour stay at RNG, we witnessed the poorest management we have ever see and we will never be returning. Merry Christmas! read more

Twelve of us gathered at New Garden for a family dinner. We mostly enjoyed the appetizers (sushi, spring rolls, tempura, egg drop soup, etc.) but the entrees were pretty bland and generally heavily doused in brown sauce. The service was spotty - they did not seem to know how to serve a large group - one end of the table got all of their food at once while the rest of us waited for a bit. The ambiance is also a little strange - more like a bar than an Asian sit-down restaurant. The restaurant is set off of one of the main drags in Needham, in what seems like an office park area. read more
