New King Garden

I have been getting my Chinese food from here for about 3+ years. I chose this spot because its the closest spot that is around to me after I get out of the F train right on Hillside Ave. The lady inside this place is so friendly and the food is always good. Sometimes the food takes a long time to make but there is only usually one cook in there so it takes some time especially when there are more than one person waiting on food to take out.

This week I had Jury Duty. *clap clap clap clap clap*. Jury Duty gives you an hour to grab lunch and being that I had brought a modest breakfast with me, by the time that 1pm rolled around I was ravenous.
I wanted to sit somewhere out of the sunshine and away from people so I ended up finding a quaint Irish Pub that didn’t sell food, but did provide me with a good selection of menus. Homegirl was craving Chinese food in the worst way so New King Garden was perfect.
New King Garden is your typical Chinese takeout spot. With a $ 6 lunch special they served me enough food to serve two moderately hungry people or 1 ravenous individual (meeeee! I ate it all! OMNOMNOMNOM GIMMIEEEE!!!).
They delivered quickly, packaged the food well and their delivery guy was super cool. I went with sweet and sour chicken with white rice and requested my sauce on the side (this now seems to be a standard practice, but back when I was a young chickie these types of spots used to drown the chicken in it and then it would no longer be crunchy… I like it as a dipping sauce mmmkay).
Their lunch special not only comes with an entrée and rice (choice or white or fried) but it also comes with your choice of soup or a beverage. I went with their wonton soup.
Their sweet n’ sour chicken and white rice was delicious! It was a generous portion, the chicken wasn’t greasy feeling and it was very well flavored and made even better by their sweet n’ sour sauce and some soy sauce.
Their wonton soup was rather disappointing as it only came with 3 wontons and the pork to dough wrapper ration was really poor. They barely had any meat and the broth was quite bland… but for $ 6 my overall meal was stupendous.
I’m never in this neighborhood and I wouldn’t return just for this place, but if I do ever find myself in this hood I would totally order/​eat from here again.

Very delicious, affordable food. Their house-​made iced tea is a beverage paradise! Quick, good customer service. They speak very little English so ordering delivery over the phone is a bit challenging; it’s easier to order and pick up in person. Other than that, it’s our go-​to Chinese spot!

I like the fried shrimp they make here! It’s different from the other Chinese places. The batter is like cajun or something it’s yummy. The rest is regular Chinese food not bad
