  IMO This is the best Chinese food in town, the food is always made fresh with love and tasty!  The service is above and beyond the best part of coming here.

  Today we ordered $70 of food from this normally reputable location for our family. Upon delivery, it was very obviously the wrong order. Now, this can happen from time to time, but the exciting surprise we didn't expect was the following- not only did they ask my gf to drive their mistake back, they asked because apparently they intend to deliver this food to another customer! After it had been opened, pawed through by my gf, myself, and two children!
  
  Not only is this disgusting, and incredibly poor customer service, it's honestly dangerous and I'll certainly be forwarding this information on to the proper authorities for review, since I sincerely doubt this is the first time they've done this.
  
  Shame on you, North Garden.
  
  Gf checking in: the driver from DoorDash had actually warned me from the start that the bag had another name written on it, crossed out and then had mine written on it instead - in case something was wrong. Sure was.
  When I brought the wrong order back to North Garden - yes so they could actually then deliver it to the correct party - they blamed the driver for grabbing the wrong thing. All around terrible service on their part. Our dinner was barely above room temperature by this time, chewy and had no flipping rice. I imagine the recipient of the wrong-order-hot-potato had even colder food (don't worry bro we didn't lick or eat anything but I'm so sorry they sent that to you)

  North Garden is a small, cozy restaurant that serves dim sum every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 11:30am-3:00pm. They also serve your traditional Chinese, Americanized Chinese, and Szechuan but my main purpose in checking out North Garden was to try out their dim sum. Their website allows you to order takeout online and pick up in 20 minutes. Pretty convenient and easy. I ordered my dim sum staples: steamed shrimp dumplings (hargow), steamed shrimp & pork dumplings (shumai), spare ribs w/black bean sauce, deep fried shrimp taro patties, fried taro turnovers, turnip cakes, and rice rolls with shrimp filling. These were a hit or miss. The steamed shrimp & pork dumplings were super tasty with the right amount of flavor and perfect texture. The steamed shrimp dumplings, however, were the complete opposite. The dumpling wrapper/skin was too hard which made it seem like the dish was microwaved VS steamed. The rice rolls with shrimp filling were abundant with shrimp but the texture of the actual rice noodle sheet left much to be desired. The turnip cakes were pretty solid and had good flavor. The deep fried shrimp taro patties were lacking in flavor...it desperately needed a little something something but other than that it wasn't too bad. The fried taro turnovers were weird - I wasn't a huge fan of the filling. A little too salty and isn't similar to the traditional fried taro filling I'm used to. The pork spare ribs with black bean sauce was pretty delicious. The pork was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. You'll definitely find better dim sum in Boston but beggars can't be choosers in Manchester, NH so if you're in the area, craving dim sum and not willing to make the trek to Boston then North Garden is an ok place.
  
  I'll come back to give their traditional dishes a try but their dim sum was pretty meh. I saw a table of Asian people had ordered the salt & pepper fried spicy squid and that looked pretty promising so that's next on my list!

  We ordered takeout tonight. The food was great! Nice assortment of different plates. We tried the chow foe fried rice under the "Chinatown dishes" portion of the menu. The tidbits plate, lo mein, wonton soup and crab Rangoon. The only reason they received a four star review instead of five stars is because a couple crab Rangoon didn't have any filling and the others had to much. We would definitely try this place again!

  Got the Dim Sum here and it was pretty good and was around the same price range of $4-6/plate as they have in Boston. They serve Dim Sum only on Monday, Saturday and Sunday until 3pm. They have a nice size parking lot which is nice and convenient. I saw that they have wifi but I didn't use it and you have to ask for the password. They have a lot of variety of asian foods which is impressive. Next time ill try a plate of their walnut shrimp!
  Docked a couple points for the service. The front desk was attentive and nice but the guy serving seemed to only pay attention to other tables and wasn't as friendly to my table. I had to flag him down just to order and he wasn't very polite afterwards. Over all good food but mediocre service. Maybe just order take out and save yourself the tipping fee.
