New Rose Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Southborough

Waaaay too hot to cook today! We had a family gathering and no one really wanted to put time in the kitchen. New Rose Garden to the rescue! They took our large order and carefully made sure to get it right as well as make an ingredient accommodation on one of the items. When we arrived to pick up our order we were greeted with BIG smiles, and they boxed up our order to make it easier to carry (VERY thoughtful). The restaurant itself is not fancy, but comfortable looking. folks can grab a drink at the bar and play Keno. There are booths and some tables. The aroma of Pu Pu Platter items filled our car and made for a mouth watering drive to our relative's house! Good thing we put the boxed food in the back of our SUV. The food didn't disappoint! My family really enjoyed the PU PU items as well as the rice orders and dishes. We enjoyed the Ginger String Beans, Beef with Peppers and Chicken and Broccoli. The food was flavorful, fresh, quite yummy! The two ladies working the front of the restaurant are gems! They are genuinely happy, thoughtful, and kind. All in all a deliciously...

We ordered take out. The food was hot and ready when I arrived and there was no wait. The ladies who served me were very nice. The 2 egg rolls were sitting in a bag of grease like they were not drained at all. Grease was the main flavor so they both got tossed in the trash. The pork fried rice was just ok. It was a little on the mushy side but the flavor was good. The fried Peking dumplings and teriyaki steak appetizers were good and the Kung Pao chicken was pretty good too, nice crunchy peanuts and celery but it was not nearly as spicy as what I have had at other restaurants. I would assume if you asked for it more spicy, they would accommodate. UPDATE: I was wrong. If you ask for EXTRA spicy Kung Pao chicken, you get the same dish. Kung Pao chicken should be SPICY!! Still disappointed. At least this time the pork fried rice was not mushy. It was perfect. My boys loved the General Gao...

Look, the food isn't anything special, but it's cheap, well cooked, and in my many years of going there never had anything close to the type of scare people associate with locations like this. It's the epitome of a place that doesn't spend money on fancy digs and passes those savings on to their small, but loyal, local customer base.

They have a lunch buffet on most Thursdays and almost every Friday, which are the days me and my work colleagues will visit for lunch, as we've done for about 4 years now. The staff is very friendly and attentive, they come across as genuinely invested in the experience of their customers.

This is not a place to go out of your way to eat at, but if you are in the area, or passing by, and craving Americanized Chinese food, stop in and enjoy.

I'm particularly partial to their beef soup, bbq pork, and calamari rings. Oh, and don't bother with...
