The noodles were soft, slightly tangled, and clearly living their best life in that container. The fried egg was hanging out in little fluffy chunks like, "Yeah, I belong here," and honestly, it did. Every bite felt like a warm, carb-loaded hug from someone who doesn't really like hugs but tries anyway. The chicken was surprisingly tender, like it actually went to the gym and stretched before showing up. The veggies added just enough crunch to remind me that I made at least one healthy decision today. Portion-wise, this thing could feed you, your future self, and possibly the next tenant who moves into your apartment. Value for money? Absolutely. Flavor-wise, it wasn't the dramatic, saucy Thai experience that makes you question your life choices -- this was more like the chill friend who shows up in sweatpants and still vibes. Simple, tasty, comforting, and zero unnecessary drama. Would I eat it again? Yes. Would I marry it? Also yes, but I don't think that's legal in my state. Service was very friendly and good staff.

It's always accurate and can range from 15 to 45 minutes in my experience, based on the size of the order and how busy they are. The food is always delicious and consistent! The only thing to note is that the quantities vary between items and don't always seem to match prices exactly. When ordering for several people, or ordering dishes I haven't gotten before, it's a bit unknown if it will be more than enough or not (especially regarding appetizers). I think this has gotten better since when I first started going there though, but it could be because I know the menu better. We go here on occasion since they opened and have ordered takeout for just two of us, or up to 10 of us, and everyone always enjoys their meals. Favorites are definitely the Massaman curry (I don't get it other places now since they have the best). I like it with either veggies or chicken the best. It's a very creamy, thick sauce, with lots of cashews, potatoes, onions, and topped with crisp onions. Delicious and filling! I always have enough for two meals from one order. Their fried rice options are also favorites of our household. I enjoy the sweet chili fried rice (best with shrimp in my opinion). The house fried rice is also a big hit, especially for those who like a mixture chicken, beef, & shrimp. It's also very easy to make customizations like eliminating pineapple or peppers or whatever to meet your taste. Their in-store market is also a great find. They have lots of snacks and cooking supplies that you can't find anywhere else in the area. Over the holidays, I picked up some interesting snacks for stocking stuffers, so it's a great place to grab a unique gift or snack.

In fact, we almost drove on, but we wanted to give it a chance. We walked in and they had 2 tables for 4 and a bar area by the window for a few seats. It's a mostly take-out place but we wanted to dine in. It's basically a 2 person show. The woman was very nice and does all the cooking. We ordered beef lo mein, chicken and broccoli with fried rice, hot and sour soup and wonton soup. Our initial impressions were "wow" the portions were huge! We do love leftovers! There were a ton of veggies and meat in both dishes. The veggies could not have been any fresher. They were not soggy and cooked perfectly. The meat was also generous and very tender, not fatty at all. There were even loads of veggies in the soups. I typically don't care for the pork in the fried rice but this pork I was picking out to eat separately. It also was all meat and tender. The food was excellent. Don't drive past this little place or you will miss out on some of the best Chinese food around. We will definitely be returning.

Small family run restaurant at the airport and they are phenomenal! Dedicated parking just to the side of the location for easy in and out, especially if grabbing for take out. Friendly welcome plenty of seating to choose from between tables and standard bar along with window bar seating. Plenty of options to try on their menu and I wanted to try something fresh so started with spring rolls. Perfect combo or protein and veggies to hit the spot. The spicy pad Thai was next and was an awesome combo of fresh veggies, protein and noodles. While both probably could have been eaten in single sitting, wanted to enjoy tomorrow as well so packaged up to bring half home. Bit of a drive so had to enjoy a good Thai coffee as well. Perfect mix to keep me singing my tunes while cruising the interstate! If you are a fan of Thai, ensure you stop in and enjoy!!

The food is exactly what you'd expect when craving classic Chinese cuisine--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Pupu platter is always a go-to for our family, with a great variety of items to share. I also appreciate the Special pricing to add fried rice or lo mein as side dishes. Service is fast and efficient, both for takeout and dining in. The staff is friendly and accommodating, although there were minor moments during our dine-in visits where the attention to detail could have been slightly better--but, I have been a server for 24 years and probably have a high standard. I'd say the focus is more on the food than the dining experience itself. Overall, New Garden is a solid, less expensive choice when you're craving Chinese food. While there's room for small improvements, the delicious food and convenient service keep us coming back. Did I mention that they DELIVER! (Wish I lived close enough to take advantage of the option.) Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for dependable takeout or a casual dine-in experience!
