New Garden

it's not the best but not the worst, i've been eating here for a while now, the decorations matches the food, neutral but they make it unique. prices are amazing and SO affordable! i would eat here everyday if i could!! like i said it's not the best but not the worst, the food is perfect i've been ordering different dishes every time i've eaten here i loved them all i think the only thing that would be a bit better would be decor. i'm interested in bold but classy at the same time, but on the other hand the decor led vibes make me feel calm. i would recommend for people who like good food and a little bit of relaxation

The small shop front hides a large eating area that goes a long way back. The staff were friendly and for a Tuesday night it was busy. The menu had all the usual offerings and I didn't find anything to set it apart. I had ribs, Kung po pork, sweet & sour chicken and rice with a beer for £22, not bad. All in all very average but worth another visit.

live music from the grand overlooking the fish pond, tasty and fresh food, an excellent wine list, good tea... a wonderful, busy place that I love to come to from time to time.

Not my favourite Chinese restaurant, but the service is fast and there really good at handling big groups of people, really good venue for a big birthday bash or an office party meal, but that means it's usually full of big tables full of noisy drunk people so not very appealing when you just want a quiet meal. The usual Chinese cuisine with a nice bar area at the front so you can chill for 10 minuets if your friends are late. It's pretty expensive for what you get, and when you compare it to all the other Chinese restaurants in that area nothing really stands out that would make you want to return eagerly.

Very nice food and service.
Decent prices.

Great food at low prices. I have always had really good service. Large restaurant but always treated really well. Very friendly atmosphere.

The New Garden in Aberkenfig is a really lovely restaurant. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and are happy to offer you a sort of 'ten pound a head' type meal, if there is a larger group of you. You can also request certain dishes that you would like within your selection, and then everyone can share the dishes placed on the tables which have large rotating rings, so that everyone can reach the food that they want. The prices are very reasonable, and you can also order from the menu individual if you feel that is better than everyone sharing. :)

This Chinese Restaurant really is the best in the area - people really make the effort to go to Aberkenfig - not the obvious choice for eating out - in order to have their parties and celebrations here. There are always big tables and groups, and you can expect the pianist to strike up happy birthday at least a few times on the average night.


Massive menu - the set meals are excellent - and they help you taste something different without having to sacrifice having a bit of your favourite dish. The lettuce rolls are my favourite!


This is a large restaurant - there is even a river running through it (a bit dated but dont let that put you off). Staff are very friendly - they have gone the extra mile for us on more than one occassion.


If you mention it is your birthday you not only get happy birthday played for you but there is free chocolate cake with sparklers!

Great food efficient staff but you feel rushed to leave as soon as you have finished your food!

Have eaten here on many an occasion, I adore the food, the people and the decor. I had my 18th birthday here too, and they bent over backwards to make sure that we had a brilliant time
