Excellent food, as always. The best Chinese retaurant in Dorking, by a long way. Good, efficient service. I recommend the sizzling fillet steak, if you’re a meat eater.

Saturday lunch birthday celebration for my mother . Food we had was lovely but atmosphere lacking. We were not offered the desert menu or coffee. The only member of staff clearly wanted to go home as we were the last table.

We were ignored for over 15 minutes after we were seated at our table, we chose a set menu for ease, the starter was overdone and burnt the next course duck and pancakes didn't come but they brought bowls for the main course , we complained and the duck was rushed through and it was only warm and underdone, we had drunk our bottle of wine whilst continuously waiting for action, they brought another to us on the house but the food was awful, so was the atmosphere and our wedding anniversary ruined. simply don't go there !

the food was good and the service friendly but we sat in bright light and would have preferred more subdued lighting, the area where we sat was a little cold too.

Really really slow service! We waited for about 1 hour and 20 minutes before getting any food! It was Saturday night and very busy but they clearly couldn't cope!

Very good food, ambience and service but one irritation as the receptionist put our friends at the far end of the restaurant and put us on another table at the front and we sat there for 15 minutes before we found each other despite both giving the same name, after that it all looked up.

A really lovely restaurant. Food is always good here. My friend had the prawns in ginger and spring onion, which she tells me were absolutely gorgeous. I love their satay beef. We will be back.

The service was excellent. The food as always was too. However the restaurant is very cold. I also feel the steps on the dark carpet need to be highlited as its quite dark and they are very hard to see.

Good service and very enjoyable meal and the complementary orange was a lovely touch at the end. We will be visiting again soon. Ambience could be a little better though.

Service was a little slow and staff seemed a little confused as to what they were meant to be doing. Not all items came out at the same time. We asked for a jug of water for the table and only one of our party was given a glass and poured water from the jug which was taken away? Asking for a gin and tonic and a rum and coke was difficult as they didn't understand what we were trying to say. But, they we're friendly and courteous and always smiling. Food was good.

NoMSG used in any of the cooking. Fresh ingredients and nice cosy atmosphere. Three dishes and a bottle of white wine came to £40. A lovely complementary orange to cleanse the palate.

We love all kinds of cuisine and, in our opinion, The New Fountain Garden is up there with the best for top-quality Chinese food at reasonable prices. We've dined there many times and have never had a poor experience. Staff are friendly, efficient and attentive - without being 'in your face' - and we readily recommend this restaurant to all. Enjoy! David & Elaine

Excellent food and large portions. We had a squeaky table but the restaurant was happy to move us to a silent one which was better as it was by the window overlooking the garden.
