Nuevo Jardin de China Restaurant

Don’t expect your typical chicken-and-broccoli Chinese selections when you step into Nuevo Jardin de China Restaurant. Sure, you can order bean sprouts and bok choy with spicy chicken stir fry. But you can also get Spanish specialties like shredded beef with sides of fried rice. If you’re committed to both cuisines per plate, opt for side-by-side appetizers of fried plantains and egg drop soup. Avocados, paella and steak are as ample as eggrolls here, and the pre-happy hour crowd is jovial and kicking back as early as 3 p.m. Menu items are in English and Spanish.
