Weekend lunch pretty packed but got table quickly.
Food - Hainan chicken/scallon ginger sauce was good, but didnt like it paired with sticky glutonous rice. Beef laksa fish noodle was a surprise. Noodle is fish paste in noodle form, which made the dish taste too heavy. Spicy milky broth was really good tho. Beef chow fun was ok with table’s chili oil sauce.
Drink - served hot tea in metal cup. Menu, similar options as HK cha chan tengs.
Service - curt/indifferent,...read full review

The beef brisket, while basic and lacking in flavor, was surprisingly tender and meaty. The fried fish was just okay, nothing special. The restaurant serves authentic Chinese food, as evidenced by the predominantly Chinese patrons. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a fast-food Chinese restaurant, reminiscent of those found in Hong Kong.
Good food and customer service. Kudos to Rebecca and the team.

Garden Kitchen is a small, cozy restaurant known for its authentic Cantonese dishes and traditional Hong Kong hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. The food is generally good, with dishes like Hainan chicken over rice, shrimp with pork wonton noodles soup, salt and pepper tofu, salt and pepper smelt fish, and cold mixed beef tripe receiving positive reviews for their flavor and quality. The Hainan chicken is often highlighted as flavorful and tender, meeting the expectations of those eager to try this dish.
The service is quick and efficient, making for a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant has a small dining room that feels comfortable, and there is street parking available, with a small parking lot on-site. Prices are reasonable and not expensive, making it a good option for casual meals.
Recent changes in ownership have slightly altered the menu, with some items like rice rolls no longer available, and the Hainan chicken being more like white cut chicken. Despite these changes, the restaurant continues to serve good rice plates and offers specials, such as coupons for every $50+ spent and a half Hainan chicken for purchases over $100.
Overall, Garden Kitchen is a reliable place to enjoy flavorful Cantonese dishes in a simple setting, with friendly service and ample parking options.
