What Dempsey Bri doesn't like about Asia Garden Restaurant:
I don’t know if we caught them on an off night but I won’t eat here again. An empty restaurant during lunch hour is not generally a good sign. Ordered chow mein and ginger beef. The chow mein was pale and covered in a gloopy, flavourless sauce. The ginger beef was served with onions and peppers that weren’t even cooked. View all feedback. What Katie D likes about Asia Garden Restaurant:
We had heard about this restaurant from a friend in Duncan who is from Taiwan, as we travelled to Port Alberni we decided to have dinner there, it was delicious, I think the best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand. The service was very good as was the ambiance. Highly recommend it View all feedback.

The Cantonese Chow Mein is my favorite. It is a family run business. It does not look like great place from the outside but inside is clean and friendly.

Featuring a mix of reviews, the restaurant offers decent food with some inconsistencies. Some dishes were good, while others lacked meat or were greasy. Pricing is reasonable, but not everyone's top choice. The decor inside is beautiful, despite the unassuming exterior. The Asian Garden stands out for its cleanliness and authentic pad thai. The service, although friendly, could be improved by having a better-organized kitchen and English-speaking servers. Overall, the spot offers a variety of delicious dishes, making it worth a visit for some quality Asian cuisine in town.
