So many of you know that I have been on the hunt for old New England style "celery" egg rolls. Well, a friend gave me a heads up, that Oriental Garden in Haverhill has them. Away I went to investigate the claim, and sure enough, they do indeed have the long lost celery egg rolls. What is a celery egg roll, you ask? Well its a regular egg roll made with ground celery intead of cabbage. It also has pork, a bit of carrot as well. I stopped in for lunch on a weekday and choose from the lunch menu. #1 Egg roll w/ pork egg fu yong, and Pork fried rice. Perfect smaller portion. The celery egg roll was fresh, hot and crispy on the outside. Egg foo youg was also fresh and had ample pork and bean sprouts and brown gravy. RIce was ok. Service was friendly and pleasant. I will be back soon for more egg rolls and menu items. read more

I was in the neighborhood late one weekday afternoon and decided to give it a try even though reviews have been mixed at best. The common thing among them was that the ownership had changed recently and that it ~may~ have improved. One teriyaki photo at least showed some promise, so why not? OG Appetizer Combo #2: Combined samples of four appetizers, with no rice. - Beef Teriyaki: Two sticks of grayish meat. Slightly thick, slightly coated, slightly tender, but dry after a few bites. Not much flavor. A little below average. - Spareribs:  Two ribs had top surfaces with a light but faded red paint and a few tiny bubbles that whispered "reheat," while the cross sections had even more grayish color and screamed reheat. More tender than I would have expected-- it pulled cleanly off the bone-- but not much flavor. Well below average. - Egg Roll: Uncrisp shell, mix of cabbage and celery, with pork fairly strong. It looks like more cabbage than celery, but tasted and felt more like an old scholl celery egg roll. Sawdusty dry, but decent flavor from the pork and seasonings. Average. - Fried Shrimp: A pair of thin, stretched-out shrimp (probably halved) with MUCH more batter than shrimp. More of a deficit than I've come to expect. Could barely feel or taste it. Had one. Didn't even want the other for my leftovers box. Below average. Pork Fried Rice (full order): I went back and forth with my elderly server on which rice to choose to get something fresh, and he recommended ordering PFR but adding bean sprouts, which normally don't come with it. Miraculously, he was right. Pork nuggets a little long in the tooth, but the rice itself was soft, fresh, moist, and tasty. A little salty though, and not soy saltiness. But overall, above average to well above average (for nowadays). I get that those apps might be better if I ventured in later at night, but this is a one-and-done for me until convinced otherwise via photographic evidence. I think New Moon Garden has more upside, and Hawaiian Isle, even with its inconsistency, would be the clear cut choice for the area. read more

I have been to this place a hundred times but this visit felt so awkwardly different. I thought re-visiting would be a great time but other than having a decent conversation with the bartender, the food did not meet the Standard that I grew up with. It tasted like two day old food they tried to pass off as brand new. The business seemed dead and then despite only drinking water. They had Last Call at 8:15pm. I suggested it was truly a bad joke. I found out that it wasn't a joke. read more

Happened to swing by during lunch special time and was suprised by the portions , fairly priced , everything was good .Sat in the restaurant , i did notice they had a separate lounge and Keno .. read more

Great Deal on daily lunch specials , price was good and portions were more than expected .

I love this place. The prices are for everyday people and the quality of food is as good as you're gonna get in. Any Chinese restaurant is clean, professional welcoming. this is a four star restaurant why it's 2 1/2. It's just bad reviews from jealous competitors I believe. read more

The food was so good I was enjoying every atom of it and it was amazing would recommend

Very first Chinese restaurant that I had ever experienced. If they have been there, that long they have to be doing something wright. Last time that i went the food was great. The real treat is the bartender Krystal B. An epically beautiful woman. Her friend Kerry C could get me to spend all of my money there. Great service and drinks served by beautiful women. An Iconic landmark. Krystal you and Kerry are epic beauty's that bring business to an epic restaurantl read more

The food and drink is delicious. The staff helpful and friendly. The big take away was the amazing comedy club they have in the back. It is called "Funny Vibes Comedy Club" and Ms. Laddy runs a very professional setup and brings in hilarious comedians. They do official shows and a weekly open mic on Thursday as well. As a comedy connoisseur I highly recommend this spot! read more

I went to the Oriental garden for a late night bite to eat and some drinks on a Saturday. It was good vibes, good music and later I got my food and it was really delicious. They have the best Chinese food in Haverhill and at the end of the night I had forgotten my phone there and the owner stayed a little later and gave me my phone. The owner was really friendly and kind so if you're considering Chinese food in a good time, you should go to Oriental gardens they have different events going on such as comedy and karaoke and other things so I rate it five stars. read more

We've ordered food from here before and have always loved it. Today If I could give this place 0 stars I would solely because of the hostess at the door. We ordered online through their website. Got charged, got an email confirmation that the order had been placed. My husband goes to pick it up and the person at the hostess station tells him he doesn't have our order, my husband calls me so I send him the email confirmation and the charge. Again he tells him he doesn't have the order and that "he doesn't have time to talk to them" my husband's about to lose it so he walks out. I call and speak to the guy and he said the same thing to me so I asked me speak with the owner. The owner apologizes but simply says they've been having issues and that jimmy is a knuckle head. Takes my number and name and tells him he will make sure I get my refund. Meanwhile my husband goes back in and asks for the owner who gives him our cash refund and tells Jimmy now we've lost a customer. Great that the owner was able to rectify the situation right then and there but definitely won't be back because of one miserable employee who should never work in customer service a day in his life. read more

Great food, great service, pleasant staff and great location. Super fun spot on the weekends during karaoke and comedy also. I believe they are under new management and it shows. Only downside i would say is it's a little pricey but everything is nowadays so it's pretty understandable! read more

Stay away. Burnt rice. Over priced. Nasty service. There are so many better places in the area! read more

What can I say about this place it's been here for the longest time. I been a teenager and this place still here but I can say they have the best EGG ROLLS in town they have the original recipe not the spring roll like other places have. No they have the original flavor EGG ROLLS !!! I usually do take out only read more

I ordered chicken fingers. You know when the food is fresh. It was overcooked or left over from yesterday and refried today. The rice was clumpy and stuck together in a ball. The duck sauce tasted like alcohol. No I won't go back. I ate 2 hours ago and my stomach is still feeling horrible. There was no one in the restaurant. So no ambiance as well as poorly lit and we were seated right across from the windows into the lounge which the decided to wash while I was eating with long washers and scrapers. No no no read more

I have been there for their open mics and awesome comedy shows at Funny Vibes. The food was good and the service was great! Why go into Boston for dinner and a show when you have this gem in your backyard? I don't know either! Follow Funny vibes on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the shows. read more

I love going to OG love the fact they have a comedy show and have a wonderful DJ and good food with wonderful atmosphere.

Fun environment! Karaoke and comedy shows keep an eye out on Facebook for other fun things they have going on. Food is amazing

The OG is my new place for food, drinks and service. Open to midnight Sunday, Monday and Thursdays for games.

I went to go see a comedy show at Funny Vibes Comedy Club and it happened to be in the Oriental Garden. It was in the backroom, and we were served by the OG staff. Great food, service and laughs. Definitely a night out I would recommend to anyone needing a night out! read more

I was there on Saturday for a comedy show. The food and drinks are amazing!!! Service excellent. Nice chill place.

Great Food and Service and the New Ownership has great plans for the place. Free private parties in the Back Lounge Available too!

I am a regular at oriental garden so I have seen more than my fair share of stuff. One thing that sticks out is ownership is clueless about the aspect of customer service. Two out of three weeks on Saturday night the second bartender has called in for their shift. Same person. I have been in the customer service industry for 30 years and this would be unacceptable in any other business. My question is what is being done to solve this problem. Is this person been reprimanded or warned or anything. Instead of for lack of a better term,sticking it to the employees that show up and are loyal this ownership show get rid of the dead weight and start treating his employees better. 5 stars to the bartender on duty who puts up with this and 1 star to the owner read more

Trash. Poor service, food came out cold. Told "management" and all they said was sorry. Never going back.

I was a regular at oriental garden. Food has gotten sub par and expensive. Expected in this economy but a little outrageous. Beer prices are very excessive. Of you want to buy a Bud light be prepared to spend 5.46 including the sales tax (should not be added to bottled beer). Mixed drinks will set you back much more. Find another place to go where your money will get you farther. read more

I stopped in at OG for lunch takeout recently. I ordered the Luncheon Special #1 Egg Roll, Egg Foo Yong, Pork Fried Rice ($6.50 plus tax) and I chilled out in the lounge for about 10 minutes while waiting for my order. The food I ordered was actually fairly decent tasting and just average, a good amount of food in a square styrofoam takeout box. The egg foo yong was firm with mix of onions & roast pork in a deep fried egg mixture, covered in a thick brown gravy. The fried rice (brown color) had a soft texture with a mix of onions and roast pork pieces. The egg roll was nice and crispy on the outside, filled with a mix of cabbage & minced pork. Overall, the takeout food I ordered was served hot and it was not bad. read more

so sad this place has gone sooooo downhill since it's hayday.....what was a staple in the haverhill community from what i heard and experienced throughout many years of visiting this area is just an overpriced, unexciting, sub-par space with no atmosphere and so-so food. if you want to charge $5 for a bud light bottle at least don't make me wait 10 minutes for it after it is ordered, after having made me wait 20 minutes to acknowledge my presence. read more

Service is absolutely garbage. Sat there for about 1 hour and not a single person working had come over to take our DRINK orders while the table behind us got them and arrived later than me and my party did. The food is great but, they really need to get better workers who are on top of tasks. read more

DO NOT GET FOOD FROM HERE! They are super rude and not customer oriented at all. We were on a business visit to Andover. And we wanted to try Chinese food. The website did not specify that no rice came with any of the entrees. The person who took the order & money also did not specify. So once we got to the hotel and called the person on the phone was super rude and argued. Despite us telling them that if they didn't specify how would we have known. He hung up on us when we called and dared us to call whoever we wanted to. SO we were stuck with the food with no rice and no means of making it. To say the least this was the most unprofessional way to deal with customers. If they can be so unaccomadating (sp.??) to people who are depending on getting a meal from them, I wonder how they handle regular customers. read more

Been going to Oriental Garden for decades now. I can't complain about the food I've always got a good meal, service is always good. And they make great drinks. it's my go to place and they also have Keno read more

Service in food was terrible I am $85 bill that I put on a credit card with $20 cash for a tip. The waiter called me cheap said I did not leave with tip he did not work on the table it was still there. Then he proceed to tell me that wasn't enough. So yes I did get pissed took back my tip and started to walk out the door he blocked me from leaving said it was cheap again in front of all my friends I was horrified and so where they. I will never go back places dirty they deserve to be closed down. read more

Horrible customer service! I called in to ask a question and the guy hung up in my face. It's very unfortunate because I dined in with them recently and loved their food so much that I wanted to place an order for delivery. Not anymore.... read more

I am surprised that this place is still in business. Although it has been a Haverhill staple for decades, perhaps it is time to close its doors. Located in a strip mall, it feels like walking into a time capsule. I don't know how they cook the egg rolls, but they are the chewiest things. The boneless spare ribs are 75% fat. The peking ravioli's were stone cold upon arrival. I wish that I could recommend this place, but I just can't. The mai tai, at least, was good. read more

This restaurant is near our home in Haverhill and I am wondering why it is still open because of the ongoing nastiness of the Chinese person who answers the telephone. He is unreasonable and does not speak good English and is hurting this business terribly. Although you say you will pay way more to make a change on a combination plate or dinner item this person refuses. We found three Chinese restaurants just a half mile away in Plaistow, NH that are inexpensive and and willing to compromise if you want to upgrade and incur an additional price to get the items you like that are on the menu. He will not substitute any appetizer for another appetizer although you say you will gladly pay the difference in price. I think this has hurt their business and would not be surprised if they soo closed their doors in the near future! read more

So I've been here a couple times for a quick late night drink in the past, but had never had much of their food. My boyfriend & I decided we were in the mood fir some Friday night Chinese take out, it was about 8:30 & he lives very close to the plaza OG's is in, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered white rice, steamed broccoli, spring rolls, soup & chicken fried rice. The broccoli, soup & spring rolls were tasty, though these are hard to mess up. The chicken fried rice was no good, it was dark brown in color, had pieces of onion & almost no chicken at all, no flavor, just blah, like it was just doused in MSG, so my boyfriend accurately put it. I would not return here, price was average ($35), but the one entree dish we ordered was lacking. There are many other great Chinese places in the area, such as Li's. read more

Hungry? Want food? Stay away. Just don't come here. The food here is probably the worst attempt at Chinese food I've eaten. I didn't have high hopes for the food and I was still disappointed and grossed out. We had beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and their Lo Mein special. The beef was cut into large pieces, the broccoli was under cooked, and the sauce was only soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and corn starch. The chicken also was cut into large chicken finger pieces, the pineapple wasn't cooked, they added maraschino cherries (??), and the sauce had no flavor. It came with fried rice which was old rice doused in soy sauce. The Lo Mein was the only thing that was close to not disgusting. It again was overcooked with soy sauce, the meats were underwhelming, and the water chestnuts were cold. This place is probably only good for its bar (which had a Caucasian girl working to draw in customers) and the Keno. read more

I went with a group of 6. We had hotel rooms at the Best Western next door. We went to sing karaoke. We had 3 rounds and got cut off. Don't go to Oriental Gardens if you are looking to have fun. read more

Holy cow, has this place gone downhill. Not that it was very far up the hill to start with, but it has grown exceptionally worse. I visited OG's this past Friday night with some friends and had probably one of the worst restaurant experiences ever. First off, our waitress was something else. If you combine the personality traits of rude, arrogant, disrespectful, and just all out brain damaged, you arrive get the equivalent of the type of staff they employ, specifically our waitress. After ordering our food, and receiving the wrong order, we kindly informed our waitress of this, to which her only response was to repeat back what she wrote down and not offer to correct anything. Let me drop some customer service 101 on this girl, as I'm 99% certain that the 'Customer is always right'. I don't even care if you fail to admit your fault or think that we're wrong, but at least offer to rectify the issue at hand. - Strike 1 Throughout the course of dinner, our waitress was beyond intrusive. I was sharing a Pu-Pu platter for two, not even done eating mind you, and our waitress is busy clearing plates and moves a plate filled with discarded chicken wing bones onto my platter. Hello, can't you see I'm eating here? There's still food on my platter for crying out loud. - Strike 2. In the process of her hastily clearing the table, she also removes plates of food that we weren't even done eating with. Didn't even ask us if we were done eating, just proceeded to clear at her own pleasure. After calling her out on this later, 30 minutes later after she hands us the bill, she returns with some food in a baggie saying, 'no, I was wrapping it up for you.' HAHA, yeah, sure you were and you most definitely didn't go into the kitchen and replace the food you discarded with some newly bagged items- Strike 3. Now how it even got to strike 4 and 5 below, is beyond my comprehension, because I should have just walked out before we made it there, but let me continue. Finally when the bill comes, there was an error with the bill as it included items that I did not order. Our waitress had this tendency to be breathing down your back the moment she handed you the bill, expecting to receive your credit card instantly. "Are you ready to pay the bill yet?" NO I'M NOT READY, YOU SCREWED UP THE BILL AND YOU'RE TOO INCOMPETENT TO NOTICE OR REMEDY ANY OTHER ISSUE FOR THAT MATTER. After explaining all the above to the manager, he was completely unapologetic, no empathy or anything of that nature. And still no offers for correction. I only wonder how many other tables this woman has screwed up. No idea how she maintains a job there, my only assumption is that she and the manager have something going on, what with them making googly eyes at each other all night. I wouldn't even expect a fast food joint to offer this woman employment, because she was just that awful. No intentions of coming back here, which is a shame because from what I saw Friday, a lot of people have been bailing here. This place is usually fairly crowded come the weekend but it was really empty. I wonder if our waitress knows why? read more
