Formerly known as Nuevo Jardin de China; under new management. According to our super helpful and friendly waiter, Jose, for (I believe he said) the last year or so. Having lived in this neighborhood for a good part of my life, I went to Nuevo Jardin a handful of time and, I guess, I never paid attention to their sign and always thought they were a "Chinese Dominican" restaurant as opposed to it being "Chinese Cuban".
The layout of the establishment did not change much, to my recollection. Their food is pretty much as I remember it too. A unique sort of Asian fusion. Having lived in a Latin country myself, I can say this is very reminiscent of what Chinese food is in South America.
I was very happy they still serve Oxtail stew! 100% disclosure... it is NOT the best Ox tail I have ever had... but, I like it for what it is. It's "quick lunch", nothing fancy, "just the basics" type of food IMO. Ox tail stew in a proper Cuban restaurant does not taste the same (not saying this is better, just different). As additional info., they serve "family style". Each dish you order is mean to be shared with your party and comes with your choice of rice or plantains. read more
