We go here at least once a week and today my husband went in to order his food .He was in there for all of five minutes and the man said your cologne is stinking up the place. My husband was shocked I am sorry. First of all the cologne was expensive not cheap and had warn off from this morning he was there late afternoon. When he told me I said are you kidding me you do not speak to customers like that at all . When he was leaving the man propped the door open. Also he is a business and deals with the public washrooms should be available for the public. Well he lost good customers cause we will not go back food is good but he needs to work on his customer service.

Ok, so we ordered a large family meal for my wife’s birthday. We ordered about 270$ worth of food including a decent tip. The food as always was awesome, everyone here enjoyed the food and there was enough left over for everyone to take two or three meals home with them. We still have 3 days worth of food in the fridge and I would just like to thank the staff at New Garden for supplying our dinner and making my wife’s birthday a special one. New Garden is the only Chinese and Szechuan restaurant in all of Kingston that I will order from. Thanks again.

Just doesn't taste fresh. First time there, likely the last. Rice tasted a bit fishy, they put the sauce in with the chicken balls already so its soggy when you get home, pork slices very dry, still cool in the middle, definitely heated from frozen. Chicken wings was good.

★★★

New Garden is a typical Canadian-Chinese restaurant. It is not authentic Chinese. It is operating takeout-only at the moment. The food tastes quite bland and the portion sizes are small for the prices. I would recommend going to Sunflower at Princess/Montreal instead, as they have better tasting food and double the portions for the price. The restaurant itself is a standalone building and looks a bit sketchy. The inside is very old-looking.

We ordered take out from here last night, just chicken fried rice and chicken balls. Now we are both throwing up and I dont even want to talk about what else is happening. Could be a coincidence, might not be, who knows? I most certainly wont be rolling the dice again anytime soon, we only have one bathroom.

Last time we ordered here was pre pandemic, was closed during it so went to another Chinese restaurant. Tried several of our favs, shrimp dish was good as was the soo guy, noodles were bland and oily, the chicken in the foo young was overcooked and had to pick it out, cats loved it, spring rolls oily as well, fried rice was basic as were chicken balls, fried won tons were good. Generally disappointed, Kais is better

December 22, 2023

The guy at the counter is super rude.

December 22, 2023

The Service should be a zero. Honestly, this is a review I should have wrote a long time ago. But there is something seriously wrong with the guy who owns this place. He was so rude to myself and my partner at the time ended up leaving. We asked to substitute an extra egg roll instead of the side, and he said ( oh of course you have to be difficult and slammed the menu down. ) It was abusive in nature to tell you the truth. Ive never gone back since I dont think any one should bother taking the chance. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Really missing the food from here, I always loved just running across for his food. I hope to have some again soon. Wishing you and your family well. I promise you ll have me lineuped as soon as the restaurant is fixed.

December 22, 2022

Have had food here before and it was very good that being said just stopped in to get a menu to order and pick up and encountered the absolute most IGNORANT individual running the counter. Instead of being thankful that he was busy and explaining we would need to place an order soon to be guaranteed he threw the pick up schedule at me and snarked you better order if youre going to. There will be no future purchases from this restaurant!!!

Chinese was our go to take out. After covid restrictions relaxed we resumed our usual pattern. Sadly, every single place had not just jacked up cost but greatly compromised on quality. Tried all our favs several times and the cost definitely didnt support the newly inferior food. We stopped eating Chinese food! Then on a recommendation we went to New Garden. The BEST EVER! Fresh and top notch quality! Yahooo! Finally, we resume eating our favorite Sunday take-out!

Food was delicious and plentiful. Definitely had more than our moneys worth (Good on you!) which gave us leftovers for the next day. Things sloshed around in the bag a bit so everything needed a good wipe down before we could eat, but all in all very good. Lemon chicken was delicious, the sweet and sour chicken balls were great (but mostly breading), the beef and snap peas was probably our least favorite, but the General Tao s will be ordered double next time.

December 22, 2021

The guy taking the order and on pick up was rude(same guy). All I asked when picking up my order was about the total. I asked if that was including the 10%off for cash orders? (This is what is posted online for this restaurant. I googled a chinese food place because Im not from this area). He was like whats the difference. Theres no difference in price. It doesnt say that! Then he slams the menu on the counter. Im like wow!!! You dont have to be rude about it. I even tried to explain your menu is online. That I googled this restaurant. He didnt want to hear about it. Very very rude. I was close to just walking out. I will Never go here again when Im back in town. I suggest you find another place with better customer service. If it is a new change to the menu, you should probably take it off your Google menu. Or even just listening to your customers and letting us know there was a change or something..not be met with this unnecessary rudeness. Food was meh anyway. Save your money.

Very clean and open atmosphere with friendly, unforgettable service The portion sizes are absolutely massive. My girlfriend and I each took home an extra meals worth each of left overs and I have a fairly insatiable appetite. The menu looks simple but has plenty of selection for absolutely everybody and the prices are incredible. We tried the fried Wontons, chicken fried rice, chicken noodle soup, egg rolls, chicken balls and chicken curry and there was not one complaint to be had about any of it. In fact, we found ourselves finding something new to compliment nearly every bite. The curry almost seemed more like a yellow curry gravy but the flavours were definitely enough to write home about. The food also tasted very clean, the fried wontons werent greasy and none of the flavours muddied eachother We will definitely be going again, and I highly recommend you go out of your way to make a visit here, you will not be disappointed. They also deliver apparently and the food is served very hot and fresh so Im sure it would travel well but as far as the eating-in experience goes, one of the best restaurant experiences Ive had in this city

Very nice Chinese restaurant. One of the few restaurants like this which is not strictly buffet. Limited amount of Canadian food but very reasonably priced and servings are generous. This place will not break your budget.

★★
December 22, 2019

Got Take-out from here. I dont recommend you eat here. The lemon chicken sauce was incredibly weak, and lacks any tang. Both the lemon chicken and chicken balls had incredibly soft, doughy batter around them, and zero crunch or toughness, as if they scarcely fried it. The only thing keeping it above 1 star is that the egg rolls were pretty good. Otherwise, go elsewhere for Chinese food.

Extremely rude! As soon as the phone was answered I was put on hold without anyone even saying Hello. Once he came back on the line I have never received such horrible customer service. We just got into town and are staying a hotel 9 minutes from the restaurant. I stated the hotel and address but apparently he has never heard of it and I was rudely told to call someone else. I told him he was rude and that I will gladly call someone else and I got a very snarky thats fine.

Awful service. Although their menu clearly states Chop Suey can be replaced with Chow Mein for an extra .50 cents, when requested was told they are the same thing. Im sorry, If you run an asian restaurant and think Chop Suey and Chow Mein are the same thing you need to reconsider your profession. Crossed off my list and I wont be bothering to order from here again.
