Went here with my husband and in laws for late lunch. Ordered a lunch beef and broccoli which came with fried rice, dinner sesame chicken that came with fried rice and an egg roll. Also got teriyaki chicken that also cane with fried rice and an egg roll. Last but not least got the house special lo mein that had with pork, chicken and shrimp (SO GOOD) that came with fried rice and an egg roll. We loved our food and it cane out pretty quickly. The guy who took our order was really nice. This place is kinda old but has inside seating. You can either eat in or take out! read more

New China - Sesame chicken - Chinese Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

Actually, I stumbled on this restaurant because the hours on the other restaurants in downtown Bemidji were not open till 4pm or 5pm. And New China was open at 3pm perhaps even the hours were 11am-8??! I think. For $10.49 I ordered House Special Lo Mein and Kevin out front was nice, he expressed that the chow mein is not the soft noodle kind and he showed me what Lo Mein looked like and I really like that because he did not want me to order the wrong noodles which I totally appreciated. My meal was awesome, he even had chili oil and when I asked for chopsticks, he had some handy. Not at the front though, but you can certainly ask for some. The place is not entirely fancy and it's casual but I sat at the restaurant and for a Tuesday, it wasn't super packed but a couple of folks waited for their food to go. The egg roll was actually really good than most places I've ordered from. Lots of free parking out front and surrounding areas in downtown. It's a quaint small but lovely and friendly town. No complaints here. I almost devoured my food due to a long day! I don't live in the area but appreciate New China for cooking delicious Chinese food. So good I saved for the next day for dinner. Also, Kevin was super cool, he gave me 3 fortunes cookies with my meal! read more

New China - Indoor seating- small but nice - Chinese Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

See all

We ordered 3 spicy dishes; jalapeno chicken, sechwan chicken and general's chicken. None of it was spicy. The food was all overcooked. Pretty disappointed, but I'm not from Minnesota so maybe it was spicy to them ‍ read more

The food was good but could of used less sauce. Try to make some other sauces like lobster sauce

Food was bland . Not like other Chinese food I have had. Also did not like that you had to pay before you ate

Food wasn't bad, food wasn't great. Service was decent, quick, efficient but really not overly friendly. Quantity was considerable, but that didn't make up for the real lack of flavor. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it was white rice cooked with shrimp and a ton of soy sauce, nothing else. Will I be back? If necessary however it is not a place I plan to seek out again. I did like the people, though they were very busy and not super friendly they seemed really to want to do a good job. read more

ordered food to go, got home received the wrong order. I called the manager he refused to correct the mistake, he said he would make the correct order but I had to pay for it and keep the wrong order, when I refused he said how about I talked to the employee who screwed up your order, will that be okay? the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced, will never enter that establishment again. I guess that's one of the reasons they only accept cash-you can't cancel the payment when they cheat you. read more

Very average at best. I have had Chinese take-out from multiple cities around the country, this is not memorable, and I've ordered multiple times. The fried rice that comes with most meals is mushy and doesn't taste fresh. In my opinion, the Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet in town has better take-out. read more

Food is pretty good and quick service. I love the hot and sour soup!! Egg Roll is just okay, not as empty as some so that's a plus.

Just another Chinese restaurants with frozen food, and why only cash? Are they not allowed to accept cards. Fishy fishy. The meals are heavy! Big amounts. One dinner could be spilt for 2 read more

Excellent lunch special, kyung pao chicken. Nice spiciest, hot, veggies crisp, bed of fried rice typical, priced right, served rapidly. Can't expect much more! read more

My absolute favorite Chinese place of all time. Quick service even if you order when you get there instead of calling ahead. Cream cheese wontons are a must. I have taken my family here multiple times as well and this is one of their first picks when we are in town. Nice and small family owned place. read more

Hole in the wall! Great little place to order a massive serving of hot food. Best chinese in northern Minnesota. read more

New China - Shrimp and garlic sauce - Chinese Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

In the spirit of 2021! It's so fun to support small businesses who treat their employees well. I was visiting Bemidji this week, so we decided to stop in on old friends at New China. They wouldn't let me pay (I used to work there ‍) so I put $20 in the tip jar. The boss noticed, fished a $20 from the till and made me take it back! Haha I guess we won't be allowed to financially support our favorite local business Anyway if you've never been there try it out! Portion sizes are huge (an $8 dinner special usually feeds two...) General Tzo's and the Sweet&Sour chicken are most popular, but my personal fav is definitely the Singapore noodles. (They have the best Singapore Mei Fun in the nation! Just the right spice and flavor:) The hot&sour soup is great, also the cream cheese wontons are amazing too. They are super great to their employees (they even fed me most days...) and have two awesome kids who attend BHS. Please help support this local family & local business ‍ read more

I was born and raised in New York so you could say I am probably as close to an expert as it gets here in Bemidji. The first place I tried was Super Buffet and it was absolutely sub-standard chinese food. Aka GROSS! New China is the closest re-creation of the New York style take-out I have had in Minnesota. I have eaten there five times in the past two months, getting something different each time, and it has always served very fresh and very delicious authentic takeout. They'd get five stars if their dumplings, my favorite chinese dish, were anything more than frozen pot stickers. FYI, Which are not at all dumplings (not even close). read more

Best Chinese food anywhere. New China Spoiled me with their flavorful dishes. I have not found another Chinese place that even compares to what you get here. The restaurant itself is nothing to look at: big window, faded sign and 12 tables in the place but has the greatest food. They have an open kitchen so you can watch the food being prepared. Their portions are large and filled with flavor. The wait staff are the owners and their extended family. If you are going to stop anywhere in Bemidji for lunch - New China is the place to go. read more

I was originally headed to the restauarant next door that closed shortly before I arrived. I asked someone going out with take-out, and she said it was good, and I had no other options nearby. An adorable little girl took my order, must of been the daughter to the parents cooking just behind the counter. She told me the General Tso chicken is a popular dish, so I got that, rice came with it, and I also had an egg roll. More food than I could eat, even though I tip the scales at over 490 lbs. The chicken had a lot of batter, not strictly the prime pieces, but nothing that I had to quietly discard in my napkin. I sat facing the sidewalk, and the big picture window was just terribly unclean, fingerprints and who know what grossness. The floor was really dirty, sandy, and unclean. Some easy simple cleaning things would do so much, it's not just out there that's dirty. read more

New China - General Tso chicken, yum yum and under $9 - Chinese Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

Very high quality food definitely best Chinese food in Bemidji. I recommend the general tsao's chicken.

It's kind of a hole in the wall. They only take cash. But the new owners have really improved the food. the sweet & sour chicken, kung pao chicken & Singapore meif fun were excellent. They need to work on the egg rolls. I wish they offered spring rolls. They're quick 15-29 minutes if you call the order in. read more

Been my Favorite in Bemidji for nearly 2 decades! Family owned and operated. Some is just standard frozen Asian Food but they cook their veggies nice and aldente, offer generous portions and still keep things reasonably priced. read more

This has been a favorite since I was a kid, my dad used to bring me here frequently when it was still a buffet. I absolutely love it all! My personal favorites are the sweet and sour chicken, generals chicken and the teriyaki chicken and don't forget the fried rice and some lo mein! No matter what you order, you'll love it. read more

Yum!! I really wish they had longer hours. I would rather have Chinese for lunch than dinner since their portions are so large. Update:: Still wish they were open more. My husband refuses to go back now because he drove there too many times & they were closed & the closure wasn't current with anything we read for their hours. They just post a hand written sign & leave. read more

I prefer New China for Chinese in Bemidji! Food tastes fresh and in kitchen you can see them cooking with fresh ingredients! Also I'm a fan of crab Rangoon wontons (only place you can get them in town)! Do know that you must have cash as they don't accept credit or debit cards. read more

The food is plentiful and very tasty! Yes, it is a family affair and it is lacking for nice ambiance, but when I am hungry, that comes second place. This is the best General Tso's that I have had this side of the ocean! They make it themselves with their family recipe, and while the calorie count may be high, it is fabulous! My Favorites are: General Tso's Singapore Chow Mie Fun Roast Pork Lo Mein Hot & Spice Chicken and their Cream Cheese Won Tons! read more

Excellent food, very well made. Make sure to call a good half hour beforehand to order your food because it is so busy because it has quality food. Food is very flavorful and tasty. Service is decent otherwise would have rated higher. read more

If you've ever been to NYC and had Chinese take out, this is basically that. If that is what you are expecting, you will be fine. If you are looking for the fancy, sit down, Chinese and sushi bar with a bottle of saki, this isn't it. The food is pretty consistent on that note. Some of the employees are more pleasant than others. Overall a great value. Most of the meals can be shared by two people I would say, unless you are very hungry. read more

Food is greasy and oily. It's seen as if they haven't changed their grease in 20 YEARS and they use the same cooking station for all meats and never clean their grills. I'm done. My stomache started hurting. read more

This is my absolute fav restaurant! They are very kind and the food is amazing I want to go all day everyday and they have endless options! I definitely think anyone in a group of under 6 and wanting Chinese should go there. It's delicious and has different types of pop. But don't go and expect to pay with a credit card they only take cash and checks.1 read more

This was the worst Chinese food I have eaten. We spent $50 on a meal for our family. A young little girl took our order and gave us some food advice. She suggested General Tso Chicken and said that it will be spicy which I really wanted. We also ordered cheese whontons and two orders of lo main noodles. The main meals where bland to the taste and the whontons tasted like they where cooked in old grease. I was dissapointed in the whole meal. Will not be going back. read more

Hands down the Best Chinese Place in the Area. Absolutely love this place !! Their General Tso's Chicken is the best i have ever had.

Chicken and rice was great, even had leftovers to bring home. Couldn't believe how nice the lady at the register was.

the chicken lo Mein was very tasty. the beef fried was was abysmally bland :( the cream cheese wontons were just shy of burnt and not a good flavor. it is very bean inside they have a cash register but would not give me a receipt . I almost canceled my order then but foolishly decided to proceed with the order. they have the fans on ceiling which is great for when it's humid and hot however when you are trying to eat in it makes the food cold very fast I will pass on coming back if I am back in town read more

Best Chinese in town. Skip the buffet joint and bank on your buck here. They don't take cards of any sort though--not a smart idea, obviously. read more

This is one of 2 Chinese places in town. It's pretty good. Prices are fair...$7.99 range for a dinner with fried rice and an egg roll. Cash or check only. The egg drop soup was a little odd...maybe had pork in it? We'll go back again for sure. It just wasn't outstanding...it was good. read more

My husband and I ordered the general tsos chicken and shrimp lo Mein. The lo mein was super salty and the chicken was super hard. The fried rice was awful to-it tasted way over cooked! I hate wasting food so I still ate it and I now am confident I have food poisoning. I've been throwing up all night and had to call out of work this morning. I will never order food from there again. They use to have decent food but it has gone downhill! Save your money and your health, don't do it! read more

We went in to order and the person at the till completely ignored us for several minutes, until we couldn't take it any more and walked out. Terrible service! read more

Very traditional style food and always tastes great, anything you order is a great deal because you always get huge portions for a good price. read more

The only thing keeping me from giving them a higher score is the service. I understand it's fast paced, however after waiting over an hour to get our order, and watching the 10 other ppl behind us get served before us was a little disheartening. read more

Best Chinese place in town. Food is cooked when you order. You get a huge portion of meat with rice or noodles and an egg roll with a meal. The wantons are really good. Sesame chicken and the Buddhist delight are my favorite meals. food is cooked by a pro read more

the sign is faded, the interior is simple and plain, but if sustenance is what you're looking for, you've found the place. the portions are massive in comparison to what you pay. the quality is comparable to a typical "pick-up and go" chinese fare you would find in nyc. if you're looking to raise your blood pressure, just add some soy sauce to the general tsao's chicken combination and you're well on your way to the hospital. read more
