  I live very close to South Garden and I was hoping to have found an authentic chinese restaurant next door (which would be the dream!) but instead have had hit or miss experiences here. I came for dinner alone already knowing that I wanted duck, but was interested in looking at their dim sum menu. For dinner, they only have a small section of dim sum where everything costs $3.95 which is not a bad price for what was on it. I wanted to order and eat as I go which I often do at other restaurants but the server there was pretty insistent that I order everything at once and kept taking the menu away when I wasn’t done looking at.I ordered the chicken rice soup as a quick appetizer and as a way to ease my hunger. I was surprised by how tasty it was and they definitely don’t skimp out on the chicken with huge pieces throughout. I thought to myself at the time that I would definitely come back for this the next time I catch a bad cold or am sick. I had ordered the soup, chicken feet, and the shrimp/scallop dumplings as appetizers from the dim sum menu but instead immediately got the half duck after my soup which bothered me a bit since I didn’t receive the rest until I was almost done eating. The duck was definitely the star of the meal and a half is only $13.85 which I was very happy about. It was a huge platterthe duck was cooked perfectly (not overdone) and the exterior was nice and crispy. YUM!In general, I’d come back for the duck only and order it out or share it with someone. I also remember coming a time before this where they had a large dim sum menu at lunch so I would think about coming back for lunch.IG: @KFitzEats

  The service of South Garden has been steadily declining since the change of management about 5 years ago. We had the dirty dishes cart beside us in the walkway at the front of the restaurant with no one clearing up the dirty serving dishes piling up on our table. We had to ask repeatedly for napkins (which never came), water (my son drank all the water at the table and we asked 3 times each before the server decided to bring water). We asked for Jasmine tea, they gave us oolong and when i asked for Jasmine they argued that we already had. After all of that the server told us that we didn’t give enough TIP (To Insure Prompt Service). The food is good but unless you take out I don’t think this restaurant is worth it any more. 🙁

  Get true Chinese food here!. If you are adventurous or curious about tasting true flavor of a culture, you must search for authentically prepared food. If you want to eat food real Chinese people eat, then you can have it at South Garden Chinese & dim sum restaurant.You can have everyday-americanized Chinese food here too, the one we are all used to eating everywhere If thats what u want.But here you look a little closer, and you will have awesome, new tastes and textures. They have a wonderful brunch on the weekends, they have small treats of all kinds that come by your table in push carts and most are small portions so u can try many different dishes. If ur not the adventurous kind, then by all means, they serve all the dishes we all are used to having. Deliciously prepared, in a very clean environment. Go try it!
