New Blossom Garden

New Blossom Garden is a Chinese takeaway on the southern stretch of Ripple Road, serving the residential estates that extend between Upney and Dagenham. The menu is a thorough exploration of British-Cantonese cooking: spare ribs, salt-and-pepper dishes, sweet-and-sour, Singapore noodles, Malaysian dishes, Szechuan options and a full range of foo young and chow mein. The salt-and-pepper squid earns repeated praise — one 2024 reviewer noted that the squid pieces were unusually large, nothing like the "silly skinny strips you get elsewhere" — and the salt-and-pepper range more broadly is a kitchen strength. Under new management in recent years, the restaurant has rebuilt its reputation with a run of positive 2024 reviews citing excellent food and welcoming staff.
