The food was also not well seasoned like 100s of past visits. My wife and I have been dining here since we bought our home in Seaside in 2015 and have always enjoyed New Garden Asian Cuisine's large portions of fresh food and fast service from Candy and her attentive staff. I have not seen Candy here in the last 3 months during 5-6 visits and I can easily attest that the food quality and service is "off" and we strongly suspect that this restaurant has changed ownership. Current staff claims Candy is on a "vacation" in New York? Consider us extremely disappointed! After our latest meal at what was once our favorite restaurant in Seaside, I will think twice about dining here again as our food was very bland and service was not attentive like it always was when Candy was running it.

I decided to order a variety of items, hot matcha tea, a tuna roll, miso soup and a donburi. The food and service was amazing. The fish was the freshest i've had in a while, everything was great! The miso does have a shrimp base that i was not a huge fan of, i don't like the shellfish flavor is all. The only other critique i had is the roll was a little heavy on the rice vs fish ratio, however the freshness of the tuna was worth it. I was expecting to have leftovers for lunch the following day and i ended up eating my entire meal lol if you're visiting the area this place is a must try! Reasonably priced and delicious.

We'll definitely be back!

Not so long ago you would walk into a Resturant, a local business, a shop of any kind and employees were happy to see you and grateful for your business. With a few exceptions this feeling is dying in most businesses. The ownership has empowered employees with zero skin in the game to be the speaking agents for their business. I don't think that the message we get as consumers matches what the ownership would want. When I walked into the Big Wave Cafe tonight I got nothing but attitude from a young lady who acted very overwhelmed with the amount of customers in the Resturant. The place was very busy. Lots of staff standing back in the food prep area. Just standing and talking. I could tell she was stressed. Long story short I was made to feel as if I was a burden and unwelcome. I was prepared to spend 50.00 on a steak and another togo meal for my wife. Nothing but attitude from this young lady. I simply got up and walked out. There was another couple with two small children who walked out just after me. We spoke for a brief moment as they looked upset. They got the same experience. Be prepared to be talked down to and treated like they don't care if your there or not. We have eaten here before and never experienced the attitude. What happened ?

My partner and I had the best time sipping and chatting with Quinn, the bartender. He was knowledgeable, conversational, and made a great drink! The space is small, with four seats at the bar, two floating seats, and two standing only spots. It's an intimate space with lots of Japanese figurines and memorabilia. Behind the bar sits a small TV where the bartender plays physical media (can you believe it!?) -- DVDs and Blue Rays of Japanese films. This is probably our favorite thing we've done in Astoria! Can't recommended enough! A total hidden gem.

One thing I would change is not to have any raw onion on the sashimi. I had to pick it off and it added absolutely nothing, almost taking away from the sashimi slices. The fried calamari happy hour appetizer was really good - but I will ask next time if the regular menu item comes as a larger portion. It was that good that I wanted to keep enjoying it.
