Don’t let the name deceive you. Here at Mini Garden Orient & Vegetarian Cuisine, the eatery is big on taste and value, as customers have come to appreciate its excellent customer service and memorable dining experience.
Conveniently located on South Beretania Street, Mini Garden is surrounded by ample parking, including stalls in an adjacent lot and along the street. Owner Kana Zheng and chef De Hui recently acquired the restaurant and renovated the space to give it a revamped look, while still offering flavorful cuisine that new and loyal customers have come back for again and again. The extensive menu features a host of fresh flavors that continue to gain popularity by the forkful.
“We offer a different experience than you will find in Chinatown,” Zheng says.
Mini Garden is on a roll with its iconic Crispy Shrimp Balls ($8.95 for four pieces), as diners dig into hearty portions of juicy diced shrimp without any added salt or MSG surrounded by a crispy, crunchy shell that blends two enticing textures. Customers also rave about Garlic Lup Chong Fried Rice ($8.95), which includes savory Chinese sausage incorporated with the bold flavor of fried garlic.
