  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Proud owner of Ray's New Garden, Raymond So has been a part of Needham, MA for over 40 years and so has Ray's. They would like to thank all of the patrons that have been a part of this history. Ray's recently moved from their location of 40 years to a brand new state of the art establishment. With this change they bring you a new menu with a mix of Asian Fusion cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Sushi and they tie it back with their traditional Cantonese style dishes. Ray's gives their patrons the best of both worlds with the option to come in and head to their lounge or their dining room. Patrons choose which atmosphere they want. Both the lounge and dining room serve all of the menu items.

    Service was bizarre and not attentive. Food very slow to arrive, and when it did it came out one entree at a time. Terrible and weird for my guests. Used to be great here. Not sure what’s going on. Maybe it was just a bad night.

    I was excited to go for the $5 sushi Thursday special; however, we got there for 6:30 and waited 45 minutes for our sushi! When it arrived, it didn't even taste fresh (I got tempura) - I believe it was sitting there and our waitress didn't grab it sooner. There were several other tables, but it wasn't super busy; yet, our waitress seemed to have a hard time handling it. I had to wait about 15 minutes just for my water, somehow my husband's beer came sooner! Their lunch and dinner combos are a pretty good deal, and I think it was tasty. I'm willing to go back to give the sushi another shot as that was the main reason we went.

    I don’t wish to be mean but I won’t go back except perhaps for Karaoke night and a beer.

    Twelve of us gathered at New Garden for a family dinner. We mostly enjoyed the appetizers (sushi, tempura, spring rolls, etc.) but the entrees were bland and generally doused with brown sauce. The restaurant is somewhat isolated and off the main drag. It feels more like a bar than an Asian restaurant. Service was spotty and we felt rushed toward the end of the meal.

    We are looking at city prices in a suburban bar. Take a look at the pricing and maybe business will pick up. Unfortunately, I think we are paying for the renovation at the new location.

    I have gone to New Garden over the years for special occasions and have always left feeling like I had a "wow" experience. This last visit was more of a "meh." Slow service, very long wait time for the food (sushi) and they were not even busy when we were there at 7 p.m. Going to try some new places, but will come back again one day. As someone who is in the business, PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE, train your staff better! Teach them to communicate to us patrons when the food is going to take more than 30 minutes. Make sure they are smiling and checking in on us. Nothing worse than being left alone for long periods of time to wonder when and if our food is going to come out.

    Disappointing and lacking in finesse. We won't be returning.
