    the food was chewy and we didn't get chop sticks, the service however was quick and everyone was nice. Both meals were what I would call Mid.

    Fried dumplings and crab rangoon
    Kelly H.

    I'll start by saying that the family who owns/runs the restaurant was extremely nice to us and made sure we had everything we asked for. They came back many times to refill our drinks and make sure we didn't need anything else. Our food also arrived timely and warm. Inside the restaurant is a quaint environment with cozy booths and tables that were all quite comfortable. As for the food, their presentation was very nice and inviting! It wasn't the best Chinese cuisine I've had but not the worst either. The appetizers (dumplings and crab rangoon were actually fairly tasty) but the orange chicken we ordered (not pictured) had a very strange aroma to it just before biting into it and then didn't actually have much flavor at all. I ended up ordering the sushi because many of the positive reviews talked about how good the sushi was. I'm inclined to disagree though. I ordered the Dragon and Sunday Morning Rolls (usually two of our go-to's anywhere we go) and they both were warm and mushy in places they shouldn't be. The salmon in the Sunday morning roll tasted like it was maybe smoked salmon from a package instead of fresh raw salmon and the inside of the dragon roll (which is usually cold and fresh) was hot and mushy. This was an out of the way place for us that some friends chose so I don't see us going back but if we did I'd probably get just the appetizers again. Those were actually pretty good.

    Well priced food that hits the spot, especially when you're craving that salt and MSG. The sushi here is a hidden gem, and isn't available for online ordering. Don't miss out on it though, call your order in or stop by in the restaurant to check availability! It's 100% worth the extra steps, with the Sweet Potato sushi roll being my favorite I have found in the tri-state.

    Food: We ordered an assortment of maki rolls. The fish was fresh, but we found that most of the rolls had the same flavor profile. The eel roll was packed full of eel and avocado. The rainbow roll had a really yummy sauce on top which was a nice twist. We weren't the biggest fans of the spicy tuna and the volcano roll was underwhelming. One other note was that the content of most of the rolls weren't explained on the menu picture or online ordering platform. I'd be curious to go back and try their Chinese menu sometime! Wait time: We ordered carryout sushi on Christmas Day and they said it would be done in 20 minutes. When we arrived, they hadn't started making the sushi and said it would be an additional 30 minutes. When we came back 30 minutes later, it was an additional 20 minutes. I understand it was Christmas and they were short staffed, but it just took much longer than we were anticipating.

    This is a decently good Chinese restaurant that had some extras in their menu, like sushi and pad thai (I updated photos if their menu for everyone). It isn't the kind of place I'd go out of my way for, but if I lived near here or was visiting the area I would definitely stop in often. I ordered the Kung Po shrimp and it was very good. It had a nice kick and there were plenty of shrimp offered in the dish. I also got a New York roll. It was better than I expected it to be. I like how they gave me orange slices with my fortune cookie at the end, a great end to a big meal. If you are in this area, give New Garden a try.

    Orange chicken

    My husband had been craving Chinese food for weeks. We had not had an opportunity to visit our two favorite establishments. Being in the area, and seeing New Garden, it was decided to try somewhere new. Price for the amount of food provided was outstanding. I can't remember the last time all five of us ate for $30, and had leftovers. Takeaway containers were filled to the brim. That was true for both the entires and rice. Fried or white rice comes with the entires. General Tso's Chicken was a little spicy. The vegetables included in the dish (really all the chicken dishes,) were a nice touch. Children enjoyed the orange chicken. The special of the night was pineapple chicken. It was sweeter than I was expecting. It was also a big hit with the children. Food was made to order. Both take out and sit down are available. While I would not drive out of my way for New Garden, I would eat it again if in the area.

    General Tso's Chicken. Delicious sauce with fresh cut vegetables.

    What a great find! My husband and I decided to give this place a try and I am glad we did. We ate here on a Friday night and there was no wait. We wanted to try several things so decided to split General Tso's Chicken, Eel Avocado Rolls, and Fried California Rolls. The General Tso Chicken came out first and it was delicious. Probably the best I have had of this dish. The sauce was very good and the vegetables were freshly chopped. It was huge too, we could have split that as our meal without the sushi. About 5 minutes later the sushi came out which was fine because we were splitting everything, but if we weren't then I would have been waiting for my meal as he ate his, but for us it wasn't a big deal. The sushi was freshly made and very good. We were very happy with our food choices. The restaurant itself is very clean, including the bathrooms. They even have umbrellas growing from the lights above, crazy right?! Overall for the food, the price, the portions, it is a very good option in Ft. Thomas and we will be back for sure!

    The food for me like the flavor and it didn't taste like your typical Chinese American food.

    The service was good, but the food was just OK. We had salmon sushi (pretty good) and I had beef and broccoli.

    I've never been to Japan...but I came here with my wife who has been and she felt this was the best…read moresushi she's had outside of Japan; which is quite a testament for a landlocked midwest city! They are reservation only and it can be a challenge to get a reservation, so make sure you check their Instagram to figure out when they become available. We came here for a dinner reservation. For the vibes, they have 8 seats and sell out basically every single reservation. There were 2 people making the sushi and they were both super friendly and made great conversation. Each bite was carefully crafted and came with a thorough explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. I don't think my words will do enough to explain each bite, but check out the pictures if you are interested. They have a few beers, cocktails, sake, and whiskey if you are interested in a drink to go with your meal. Overall, worth a visit for an excellent omakase experience!

    Went to Roji for their lunch with a friend. The space is very intimate and cozy. We arrived 3 min…read morelate to our reservation. The servers had already given the other customers a warm towel to clean their hands. We only knew this because the hand towels were still on the table next to the customers. We didn't receive the towels and instead used our own hand sanitizer after they mentioned we'd be eating with our hands. The hand towels remained on the table and were never taken away. The green tea was perfect on a cold snowy day. The fatty tuna was excellent in both the nigiri and hand roll. Presentation was 10/10 and flavor was there for each piece. However, when the food was given out the chef presented the food like he was reading off a menu. There was no additional information on what went into it and what he was doing. The food was delicious and fresh! The overall experience was sub par. I would think if we're paying this much that it would be more of an experience. Especially in Cincinnati when people crave culture and are going there for a cultural experience, I would expect for knowledge given and information. Rather than having to ask for information
