Most Disliked
Some feedback points to the decorative aspects of New Garden needing updates, as a few areas show signs of wear and tear. While most reviews praise the quick service, there are mentions of delays during peak hours, especially when waiting for the check, which can be frustrating. A few patrons have noted that the restaurant can get quite busy, leading to tighter space and longer wait times. Overall, these comments do not outweigh the positive experiences many enjoy, but they are worth considering during a visit.

Large portions and really tasty and fresh. Not bad pricing, staff were helpful but off their feet busy. Nice piano music. Could do with an update decoration wise, damp in lots of corners.

A Five-Star Family Meal: Delicious Food and Outstanding Service! We visited New Garden this evening, and it absolutely lived up to the excellent online reviews we'd seen. The experience started with the lovely atmosphere; the restaurant is deceptively spacious inside and beautifully presented. Despite being busy, the service was quick, and the food arrived promptly and piping hot. More importantly, the cuisine was exceptionally tasty—every dish we tried was fresh and perfectly cooked. What truly elevated our evening was the staff. They were genuinely friendly and accommodating, handling requests with a smile and making us feel completely welcome. This spot is a definite win for a great night out. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious Chinese food and fantastic hospitality!

A tantalising atmosphere with fish tanks, koi pond, grand piano, all backed up by - without exaggeration - the best Chinese food I've ever eaten in my life. The staff were fast and the owner friendly, if you live anywhere near this place get down there ASAP.

Absolutely delicious food. I recommend the Cantonese sizzling steak, duck in plum sauce and the smoked garlic chicken. We always book an early table and we find the food comes out then at a good pace. We had a young toddler with us this time, they offered us a highchair straight away. Great service.

The food at New Garden was lovely, my wife and I have different tastes but we found a happy compromise by ordering a couple of different things from the menu. The service was very good at the beginning and the food came very quick. Waiting for the bill took a fair bit of time but that's because the place got very busy and I don't think it was expected that evening.

Visited with my partner for her birthday with her family and it was very nice. There was something to choose for everyone. The restaurant is quite large, though booking ahead is recommended for large parties. The food was good value for money and the staff were very friendly.

Came on a Thursday night to celebrate my daughters 16th birthday. We always get the duck pancakes and crispy beef and noodles. The soups are also very good. Lovely atmosphere and great service.
