Assembly Member Sam Berger presented an official New York State proclamation to Cho-Sen Garden, a beloved kosher Chinese, American, and Japanese restaurant in Forest Hills, in recognition of its 35 years of service to the Queens community.
Established in 1990, Cho-Sen Garden has been a cornerstone of the Jewish community, offering a welcoming space for families, friends, and neighbors to gather for both everyday meals and special occasions. The restaurant upholds the highest standards of kosher dietary laws, blending different traditions into a unique dining experience.
“Cho-Sen Garden holds a special place in my heart, as it does for many in the community. My family, starting with my grandparents in Forest Hills, has enjoyed meals at Cho-Sen for over twenty years. I was glad to celebrate this incredible milestone with the restaurant,” said Berger.
For over three decades, owner Neil Wallin and his team have built a reputation for quality food and hospitality, serving multiple generations of patrons.
“As we begin our ‘twice Chai’ year in Forest Hills, we at Cho-Sen Garden are grateful to God and the entire community for the past 35 years of support,” Wallin said. “Countless milestone events have been celebrated by multiple generations in our location and in their homes. As one of the oldest restaurant chains in the country, we are proud of our legacy.”
Congresswoman Grace Meng, State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi, and Councilwoman Lynn Schulman co-signed the proclamation, joining Berger in honoring Cho-Sen Garden.
