We have been there twice (butquitlam Plaza) for dinner since they moved from their former location at Cameron and Austin in Burnaby. The food is very good and served quickly. However, there is only one table that will accomodate more than six. The rest of...the tables are for two to four. Also, on our second visit on a cold day we found that the tables are exposed to ventilation that blows cool air directly at the tables. This cools down the food quickly. Obviously, the whole restaurant needs renovation. They, however, seem to do a brisk takeout business.More

Restaurant relocated to Coquitlam (within Burquitlam Plaza) recently --- our dining experience was there. I picked North Garden for my belated birthday lunch the other day. We (threesome) arrived about 11:00 am, and were able to find parking right in front of the entrance. The...restaurant offers a selection of two- and four-seat tables — the larger tables arranged along one inside wall, with the smaller tables arranged along the other inside, and outside walls, and down the center. We chose one of the 4-place tables. A quite plain and simple decor, and rather quiet ambiance, it looked and felt like our kind of small, local neighbourhood kind of place. After choosing the table, and getting seated, our server arrived with menus, and mugs of hot tea. Yeah, we were off to a good start. Here’s what was ordered and shared: (names of dishes and listings as per menu) - Appetizer: Honey Garlic Spareribs — Beef: Beef with Tomatoes — Chow Mein: Sauteed Rock Cod with Vegetable Chow Mein — Pan Fried Shanghai Thick Noodle — Seafood: Spicy Salt & Peppery Squid. The food arrived from kitchen to table in very well-sized, good looking portions, with the dishes closely and appropriately sequenced. It definitely looked like I (we) had over-ordered a touch, but, heh, it was a birthday lunch, and a little overdoing is allowed at such times! The food really did look good, and when all dishes were on, and covering our table, it surely did look like we were set to enjoy a feast!! But how did the preparations and tastes fair? Ribs - meat tender, coating crispy - dish tasty — Squid - flesh very tender & sweet, coating light, condiments spicy hot - dish about as good as it gets — Chow Mein - rock cod soft & sweet, veggies & noodles fine - dish ’ok’, decent portions of fish, but quite heavy on noodles, and light on veggies — Beef w/Tomatoes - plentiful, tender & flavourful slices of beef & tomato, absolutely delicious sweet & savoury sauce - dish so flavourful & tasty, a major hit with the three of us — Shanghai Noodle - noodles & other ingredients, on-the-mark - dish very flavourful & tasty. I (we) truly-enjoyed my birthday lunch dining experience at North Garden. The restaurant is not far away, and with these good memories in mind, I doubt it will be very long before we are back for more tastes.More

I enjoyed my dinner here. We were a party of 8. The hostess was very friendly and the service was fast. I would definitely recommend.

Been a while since we were tried this restaurant. Decided to stick with our old reliables - sweet sour pork, cod fillet with cream corn sauce. Quite busy on a Sunday evening so service was bit spotty. But they brought out the food quickly. Happy...tummy.More

If you are craving for some good old Cantonese style food North Garden is the place, tucked away in a mall in Burnaby on North Road this is one of the best Cantonese style restaurant that serves family style fixed dinner that lets you choose...from a list and you can have it with 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 combo! If I am planning to take home lots of food I will often come here!More

Have been there 3 times over the last 3 years with groups and wasn't all that wild about the food. Service was so-so.

Three of us visited the North Garden rest. on July 1 for lunch. It is a very large open area space, there were about ten other diners. We were met at the door and seated with TWO menus. My husband went to get another. Our...food took a long time coming, but that's usually a good sign. The 23-year old had congee with pork and 1000-year old eggs. She seemed to like it. My husband had vegetables with shrimp. He said it was very good. I ordered "chicken filets with spaghetti". Worst plate of food I've had. there was a sweet tomato sauce over the spaghetti, and the chicken was only chicken skins seemingly boiled. 'nuff said. No one checked on us during the meal, and my husband had to seek out someone so he could pay. Price reasonable if the food had been edible.More
