New Fon Garden — Restaurant in Rahway

One visit, one meal, one experience is enough. Review and experience from 4/22. Prices are competitive among other take out places. Parking in this area is available however you must pay at a meter between 7a and 7p. The size of this place is unknown to me as they have the dining area closed, which is surprising as most places have opened their dining areas to customers. Instead there is a small vestibule with a large plexiglass window. There is 1 chair in this area and a table with menus. If you decide to wait in this area, you are subject to being in close confined proximity with any other customers as opposed to being able to distance if they opened up. There is a light in the vestibule that is hanging by a wire and the wrong size for the opening in the cieling. I'd imagine this area is cleaned infrequently. As for the food, I got boneless pork ribs with roast pork fried rice (lunch #27) which was 8.50 (9.09 with tax). The bones ribs (pork belly) was fair, slightly overcooked, but not overly fatty like some places. The sauce however had a distinct viniger undertone making me associate it with ketchup, which may be an ingredient. The rice was hardly fried. It seems more like steamed yellow rice that was tossed in oil. There was notes of msg and included mung bean sprouts and a miniscule amount of pork. I don't think they even used a wok on the rice. I've seen many versions of fried rice, however this seemed like it's a bare bones no frills yellow rice dish. Edible for sure, but missed the mark for lack of wok hay, no onions, peas, etc. There are other Chinese eateries in the area I'd try before returning here. I did not find any unusual objects in my food like other diners...

On the night of 5/3/2023, I ordered beef lo mein, chicken lo mein, steamed dumplings, and crab rangoons. 24 hours later, my entire family had to miss work. Luckily there are enough toilets to accommodate in my house.

I never write reviews...ever. I'm just not that guy. However, this place, according to other reviewers seems to have sanitary issues as well as using bad cooking oil.

The food itself, had more oil and msg than noodles. I wouldn't see this food fit for a canine. Avoid this place at all costs unless you are the Rahway health inspector. (signing off-- from my toilet) -- you've...

Gave restaurant several times but…

I ordered a standard chicken dish, but what I received was completely wrong. Instead, I got a bland, gelatinous sauce that was absolutely terrible and nothing resembling what I ordered.

When I called to address the issue, I was met with indifference and told that I had, in fact, received the correct dish. Despite my attempts to explain otherwise, they refused to acknowledge the mistake.

This was the final straw. I’ve given this location multiple chances, but after this experience, they’ve lost...
