Moms Eat Local: New Leejin Garden

Moms know how tough it can be to eat out with little ones. Patch wants to help you know before you walk in the door if New Leejin Garden is a good place to eat with your children.

Restaurant:

Is there a kids’ menu? Not officially but there are plenty of kid-friendly items including egg rolls, chinese pizza, fried dumplings, cold noodles with sesame sauce and wonton soup. Lo mein and fried rice are also usually hits with the kids.

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? From the items mentioned above, the cold noodles with sesame sauce and wonton soup are the healthiest starters. There is an entire "diet health food section" that features only steamed proteins with the option of brown rice. You can't get healthier than steamed chicken and vegetables with sauce on the side and brown rice.

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert the staff of your allergy and they will be as accommodating as they can.

Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? Small cry will likely go unnoticed.
