New Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Phoenix

Well, I've been asking my husband to take me here for a couple years now, and he finally did. I was very dissapointed, as the ownership has changed. We entered through the back which leads through the kitchen, welcomed by the cooks. I wonder if it's ever been inspected, if so he must have been blind. Dark and dirty. Then passing through you enter into the dinning room. It is fairly tidy, with no ambiance at all. It does have oldies music playing which is cool. One employee that brings you the menu acts like he is really bothered to be there, not polite at all. After ordering, the food was served by another man whom was a bit more polite, but english very poor, couldn't understand him. Food was hot, looked apealing, but taste wasn't there. Ordered shrimp fooyoung, bland dark sauce covering it, portion was large. Also ordered sweet and sour pork, which was crispy, and served alone, no vegetables or pineapple, sauce weak and served in a bowl, along with rice. I ordered lomein noodles with chicken, they were fair, and a large portion. I knew how the place looked from being there years ago, so I took the chance. Sorry to sayI will...

I live down the street and I finally stopped in. The food was so delicious. The first time I accidentally ordered too much food but I didn't even care because it was enough to share with the family and it didn't cost an arm and a leg

So I would absolutely say anything you get that isn't mentioned as small or large or a combination plate is family sized portions. Just putting that out there as a heads up. 👍🏽🙂

Oh and I really do mean the food is very tasty, I've already been back twice since I first went 🤭 thankfully it is healthy food and not over processed or greasy. I feel like this could be compared to eating at a family friends house. It is a very relaxed homey setting. I've seen families order extra food in one sitting because there is a lot of options on their menu and the pictures on the wall make you wonder what else you should try next.

I've seen that some people say there is a long wait for their meals but I've gone during the weekend and weekdays and only waited maybe 25/30min at most. Either way, enjoy your company and be patient the food...
