New Garden M

The restaurant recently changed owners, and my parents said the food is much better these days. They've been going there for 20+ years. We ate there last night, and I was shocked at the generous portions! Great food and friendly service at a very reasonable price!! We ordered hot & sour soup, black bean fish, and mapo tofu for four hungry adults, and we went home with ample leftovers. Meals come with complimentary white rice and steamed knotted rolls. We also received fresh orange slices with sweet potato fritters on the house. No alcohol yet, but they said they should receive their liquor license any day...

We went here for a celebration party and had a 12 course banquet. The food portions were generous and we had a nice variety of food. The atmosphere was okay but the restaurant could use a deep cleaning and some updating. The lazy Susan was sticky and definitely needed to be cleaned or replaced. When the server was dishing out the soup, he spilled a lot of it on the lazy Susan and didn't bother cleaning up liquid so the dishes that came out were sitting on top of the soup liquid. I liked the noodles, black bean fish, orange chicken, beef dish, broccoli, Mabo tofu and the bread. The pork dish was okay but I wasn't that fond of the sauce. For dessert they served orange slices and caramelized sweet potato which was very tasty. We had soup, rice, noodles, chicken, fish, pork, broccoli, Kim chi, green beans, beef dish, scallops with asparagus, Mabo tofu and Chinese bun and dessert. It was a ton of food and there was lots left over at our table. It was a nice and fun celebration.

Went in not really knowing what to order but I got some familiar dishes that I’ve seen online. To my surprise, the quality of the food was top notch. My family loved the place and definitely appreciated the quietness of the restaurant(subtle music playing in the background). Owner and service were great as well.

I’ve had the same types of dishes (jajjangmyun, tangsuyuk, mapo tofu) at many other chinese/korean places and new garden’s take on these dishes is super flavorful and distinct. I heard this place is under new management and a new menu, and I have to say the service and staff was awesome and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at NEW GARDEN M, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the area. From the moment I arrived, I noticed how convenient the location is—there’s plenty of free parking, which already takes away the stress that often comes with visiting popular restaurants. Once inside, I was greeted warmly by the staff. The server was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, setting the tone for an enjoyable meal. Throughout the dining experience, service remained consistent—water was refilled promptly, and every request was handled with care and a smile. Now, onto the food—which is the real highlight. The 간짜장 (ganjjajang) here is outstanding. The noodles are perfectly cooked with just the right chew, and the black bean sauce is rich, savory, and well-balanced. You can tell it’s made with care and skill—it’s not overly oily or heavy, but instead has that deep, comforting flavor that makes you want to savor every bite. Another standout dish is their 맛탕 (candied sweet potatoes). This is often a tricky dish to get right, but NEW GARDEN M absolutely nails it. The sweet potatoes are lightly fried to achieve a crisp exterior, then coated in a glossy, slightly sticky syrup that gives just the right level of sweetness. Every bite has a perfect crunch, followed by soft and fluffy potato inside. It’s the kind of side dish that could easily steal the spotlight. Overall, the combination of excellent food, generous parking, and top-notch service makes NEW GARDEN M a place I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Korean-Chinese cuisine. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or planning to bring family and friends, this restaurant delivers in every way. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

My go to for jjajang noodles. Also great pan fried dumplings (yaki mandu). Note, these are not on the lunch menu. Today I tried Kang Jiang Mien, which is a bit different. The sauce is a bit drier, shredded cucumbers are standard and sauce has more vegetables. Still solid lunch. The best in the city. Today 1/26 New Garden permanently closed. So very disappointed UPDATE: whew, New Garden has reopened with what looks like the same menu. Of course I order my Jajang noodles with the pan fried dumplings. Spectacular. Same same = good!

The food here is so good and so fresh. I also really appreciate that it's not overly salty so you don't feel terrible afterwards. They also have live plants and animals which is a great touch for decor. The owner and workers are all so nice and accommodating. I'm really impressed with their party services. I had my baby's first birthday party here and it was worth every penny. SO MUCH FOOD!!
