Inside New Garden M
New Garden M is a longtime fixture in the Rowland Heights area, offering a take on Chinese dining that balances familiar comfort with fresh, well-executed flavors. Located on Colima Road, this spot feels approachable whether you’re popping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a larger family meal.
The atmosphere here is practical and unpretentious, with touches of living greenery and small animals adding a subtle, homey vibe to the space. It’s the kind of setting where you can bring a group and feel comfortable amid casual decor rather than worrying about formality. That said, the restaurant’s interior could benefit from some upkeep—the dining surfaces and turntables show signs of wear that are noticeable during busier meals.
The menu leans into classic Chinese and Korean-Chinese favorites, making it a go-to place for dishes like jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) and spicy seafood soups. Portions are generally on the generous side, which fits well with group dining or celebratory occasions. For lighter meals or lunch, their smaller servings provide a satisfying balance without feeling too heavy. Some standout options include the House Special Seafood and the sweet garlic fried shrimp, which come across as fresh without being overly salty—a detail appreciated by locals mindful of after-meal heaviness.
New Garden M’s staff leave a strong impression: they come across as attentive and welcoming, especially during larger gatherings. Service tends to be friendly and accommodating, helping with everything from menu suggestions to managing bigger parties, which explains why many locals choose this spot for milestone celebrations or group dinners. The occasional slip-ups during service, like spills or slow cleanups, don’t overshadow the generally good care felt by diners.
This restaurant fits best into occasions where you want reliable, hearty dishes and a familiar, no-fuss setting. It's popular with regulars who appreciate consistency in food taste over decades and newcomers exploring Chinese-Korean fusion dishes. Visiting during lunchtime or early dinner means a quieter experience, while larger parties or weekend evenings bring a livelier, bustling energy.
For anyone in the area looking to share big plates around the table, or craving less salty, more balanced Chinese dishes with attentive service, New Garden M offers a straightforward local spot that respects both tradition and a practical dining experience.
