Ray's New Garden

My son use to go to this place when we leaved in Needham and he use to like it. Today , many years latter he decided to take our 85 years old relative to celebrate his BD from Boston. Experience wasn’t the Best unfortunately Food was good, but service was horrible- they have no idea about what dish what, during 2 hours being there no one took 1 plate from our table, no one came to asked if we need anything. I took a pictures, don’t want to post here. . If management wants to see it- I am happy to share. It’s sad when someone remembers you like best place( taking about my son) and now saying- I never will be back.

Now run by Ray’s daughter and son, this longtime Needham favorite has had a thoughtful refresh. The menu has been completely revamped blending classic Cantonese dishes with Japanese and Asian-fusion options yet prices remain the same, with most entrées under $30 and excellent lunch options. The food is consistently very good, with standout ribs, wings, and sushi, and the drinks are excellent thanks to a well-stocked bar. The updated space offers both a lively lounge and a relaxed dining room, making it great for everything from casual dinners to special nights out. Ray’s New Garden has managed to modernize its menu without increasing prices, and it’s better than ever.

Atmosphere, Amanda behind the bar was extremely friendly and personable. Atmosphere was modern and nice. The food. I'm pretty confident in my pallette when it comes to food, especially Chinese food. Their hot and sour soup was amazing. Old school flavors, wood ear mushrooms, golden needles, tofu among other delicious fillers. Not only did it have perfect flavoring but it was traditionally garnished with sesame oil. It also had a good amount of heat. This soup should clear your sinuses while maintaining a strong flavor foundation, this totally does. Another highlight is the chicken wings. Most places have down the crispy and the juicy part. These also had a nice full flavor. Probably a five spind blend. It also kept the flavor when reheated. The egg rolls are made on location and pass the c

Excellent food, service, all good .

I enjoyed my food and having a value meal made it that much better. Service was professional and attentive. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. If you're in the mood for Chinese or fusion, give it a try.
