New China Garden

It was okay. I had better hakka Chinese. it’s still not the best, as my spot in Toronto. Will I come back again? The food needs more flavoring, I felt it lacked a bit of flavor, but the vegetable spring rolls were Amazing, I’ll buy All of them if I could, lolol

Good portion and good food. If you don’t mind drinking water sub a second spring roll for your soft drink in the lunch special.

I’ve gone there a few times around 3pm and it’s always pretty quiet. I usually get a chicken dish and a rice dish, and they’re flavorful but kind of average.
The real fun at China Garden comes from eating their Hakka food, and wondering as you eat it if anyone has ever died from having their mouth be on fire from such spicy food.

General Tao chicken and chicken fried rice. Excellent Hakka food. People are complaining about the service… Really? Have you ever been to a Hakka restaurant that had exceptional service? I’ve been to most of them and they are all the same. This place is legit.

The reviewer below nailed it, I couldn’t have written it better. Every single thing written below about «Phillip» is true, he never smiles and it’s so funny about the «acting as if its his favor to be taking your order», I literally get the exact same feeling from him. Service is pitiful, and I don’t care for the food either, the chicken is so fatty and gristly I don’t even know where he’s getting such low grade meat. Been a couple times and definitely won’t be back. There’s loads of Hakka choices in Peel Region now, no need to settle for junk.

I’ve eaten at this restaurant a few times. This is the same person who also owns the China Garden restaurant in the Derry and Airport area.
The food is nothing special, I usually go here if I am craving hakka and too lazy to drive further. It’s all about convenience rather than the quality of food or the experience.
The owner’s name is Philip, and his customer service skills are horrible. He never smiles or even attempts to make conversation with his customers. In fact I would as far as to say that it almost feels like he is doing you a favor by taking your order. His personality is «dry as bones». Another thing I find odd is the fact that his children are running around the restaurant and making lots of noise. I completely understand that his wife and him have to take care of their kids, but if they are going to bring them to work at least ask them to be civil. People are paying money for enjoyment, not a daycare environment!
I usually order the chilli chicken (with gravy), hot and sour soup and Manchurian balls. The chicken is pink sometimes, and when I complain he says it is because «it is dark meat»??? I really don’t understand his logic, I mean dark meat can still be cooked can it not??? And no chicken that I know of is PINK if it is indeed thoroughly cooked.
Anyway, point is save your time and money… check another place. If you wish to try it (because it is convenient or you’re just curious) keep your expectations in check.
