The Scene
Set in what looks like an annexed hotel ballroom, Oriental Garden embraces the Chinatown restaurant mold. The interior seems straight out of a 1940s noir film--foggy fish tanks, a deafening din, and an alternately sweet… Read Full Editorial
Good but inconsistent by LaughAttack001 via Menuism on 6/30/2012
This Dim Sum establishment is known for being frequented by the likes of David Bouley. That must have been...
NEVER AGAIN by kennethisip via Citysearch on 5/10/2010
If I can give this place negative stars, I would. I can't even give it zero stars. The experience my family and I had at this restaurant did not make it a pleasant Mother's Day. There was about 10 waiters floating around and only 1 really…
Fantastic seafood! by CSMobileUser via Citysearch on 5/21/2009
The seafood is fantastic. Be sure to speak to your server and inquire about what's fresh and/or isn't on the menu. You won't be disappointed.
Consistently bad by SKSNY via Citysearch on 1/26/2009
I gave Oriental Garden another chance to win my approval, but, yet again, the food was mediocre and the service was appalling. I went for dim sum and most of the dumplings were very glutinous (more so than the average dim sum house). I…
Children seated next to a RODENT! by Foodie0909 via Citysearch on 1/2/2009
We read in Zagat guide that this was a good restaurant for Dim Sum and while the food and service were average, there was a large rodent in the dinning area! Not only did the staff ignore the problem, as did the manager once we notified…
Very very average by richakn via Citysearch on 8/19/2008
It may be know for it's seafood but it's standards in other areas are less than impressive. Scallops in black bean were lacking in flavour, beef fried rice was ok but nothing special. Appetisers were so so, the dumpling pretty good but the…
Delicious Dim Sum, no line by mmilikefood via Citysearch on 8/9/2008
The dim sum was hot, fresh, and delicious. My hunt for good dim sum in NY is over. The Shumai was very good, they also pictures of all the dumplings that you could order from the kitchen. The sticky rice was amazing, same with the shrimp…
Best Chinese SEAFOOD restaurant in Manhattan by samurai98 via Citysearch on 4/22/2008
The reviewers that have focused on OGSR's dim sum have TOTALLY missed an obvious point -- this is a SEAFOOD restaurant, not a dim sum palace. While OGSR's dim sum is good, it really stands out in preparation of seafood; It is the best…
Superb Dim Sum, Great Service by cobraman332 via Citysearch on 3/31/2008
I was here last Saturday afternoon for my first ever dim sum experience with a friend who has considerable knoweledge of East Asian food. The experience was one I won't soon forget and I am anxious to return here. The food was all…
Nothing Spectacular by theworldaccordingtojenny via Citysearch on 2/12/2008
I totally agree with andytak and friendsandfood (see comments below). I am a true New Yorker and this place is overpriced for dim sum. You can find better dim sum restaurants in Chinatown or Flushing for cheaper. Plus when you look…
Great chinese food by Vin V. via Judy's Book on 7/19/2007
I really enjoyed coming to this place with a couple of friends, we were starving and it was right in the area. I love chinese food, so I really thought the food was incredible and It wasn't those upscale restaurants, so we had such a good…
Food and palce was good...but under bad management by andytak via Citysearch on 5/23/2007
I have to totally agreed with the viewer "friendsandfood", this place used to be great for locals to go to and have a very nice dinner at a reasonable price. But since 4 years or so ago this place became very expensive and out of the range…
Overrated by Zagats - merely average food by plinko9999 via Citysearch on 12/3/2006
Went here because Zagat's rates as top Chinese in NYC. Got a great table downstairs, away from the drafty entrance, but overall we were disappointed in the food. The steamed dim sum dumplings were good; however, the chef's special…
Excellent choice for dinner or dim sum by richnhil via Citysearch on 11/9/2006
This is one of the best restaurants in Chinatown along with Dim Sum Go Go, New York Noodletown and Joe's Shanghai. The seafood is very fresh and very good. I especially like the scallop on the half-shell with XO sauce and steamed live…
Gentrified Dim Sum by friendsandfood via Citysearch on 10/13/2006
This used to be a go-to place for my friends and family -- the "locals". It appears that the new management is trying to attract a different crowd -- novices, more affluent, and i hate to say it, less ethnic. The changes: prices went up;…
pretty much the best chinatown has to offer by sortmon via Citysearch on 6/13/2006
ive come here a bunch of times, always with a large group. this weekend was no exception there were 11 people at our table, along with one hyperactive baby. we were seated in the basement area, since the space on the main floor was…
Great Casual Oriental Restaurant. by Jason F. via Judy's Book on 3/17/2006
Oriental Garden Restaurant is a little more than your basic casual restaurant. It has a feeling of class when you enter, and the customer service is very friendly. If you're looking forward to some Chinese or some Seafood, than this…
The best chinese food on the East coast by stan999 via Citysearch on 11/18/2005
I found this gem by following Zagat's 06 guide. It was chosen to be the top chinese restaurant in NYC. I lived in Hong Kong for 8 years and have moved back to NY for 3 years. Oriental Garden rivals Hong Kong. My search is over when I…
Rip off by dw99_82 via Citysearch on 11/15/2005
The restaurant is a rip off. As we were having dinner there, we over heard the next table asked for fresh flounder. Since the restaurant didn't have fresh flounder, the waiter asked the manager what to do. The manager told the waiter to…
Very good dim sum by snoopyjohn via Citysearch on 9/15/2005
The restaurant's decoration is very nice, clean and neat. Service is fast. The dim sum is very good and authentic, although it is more expensive than the average price in Chinatown. The seafood is good. A good choice for Chinese…
