    Had the fried dumplings, orange chicken and happy family. All three were well made and delicious.

    Hunan Chicken, steamed rice, and shrimp egg roll!
    Scott H.

    I frequent the Apex area for work and found myself close to New China Chef, so I thought I'd give this place a try. Whenever I go a Chinese place for the first time, I get Hunan Chicken (extra spicy), white rice, and a shrimp egg roll. Hard meal to mess up, but many have so I get something simple. I'll tell you; this place knows Hunan Chicken!! It was cooked beautifully! The chicken was tender and bursting with flavor and heat! They actually the special request box! The rice was fluffy and absorbed that spicy sauce very well. The shrimp egg roll was like a flavor bomb in my mouth. So good! Usually I get hot sauce to add because even though I request extra spicy, it rarely happens. The hot sauce at New China Chef is not the cheap stuff with the Red 40 dye in it; it's actually some oil with red pepper flakes. I almost put too much on the Hunan chicken, but it adds much more flavor that the cheap hot sauce. This place knows what good Chinese food is and will see my face plenty when I'm in the

    Shrimp And Vegetables with Pork Fried Rice!

    Came here about 3 weeks on a recommendation from Facebook on how good this place was and how it reminded them of back home (NY) and they were indeed right this place definitely did not disappoint, they welcomed and greeted us with hello and smile, which is rare. The food was phenomenal had great flavor and was hot....Traveled 25mins from Fuquay and don't regret it, this is our new favorite Chinese Restaurant. Definitely recommended

Room for probably 3 diff groups of people to eat. There were tables to seat 4, two tall stool seats by the window facing the parking lot, and a tucked away spot with a folding chair beside it and had cups of utensils on it. I ordered the cold flour noodle with sesame sauce and the shaanxi mutton soak buns. Both were tasty and the cold noodles were refreshing. The employee described the mutton soak buns dish as a soup soaked pancake which is pretty accurate. It reminds me of a rice porridge but with chopped dough instead of rice. The restroom is in the back through the kitchen which is kinda cool because you can see them rolling out all the round flat bread that they use for the dishes. I'm guessing it's what they use for the rougamo (I've seen it at other Chinese restaurants described as a Chinese hamburger) and the shaanxi soak buns. It almost has a gnocchi type of consistency. It isn't your average fried rice and stir fry type of Chinese restaurant so if you're looking for something like that it might not meet your expectations. I would definitely come back to try other menu items. Also, get the plum juice. It's delicious!

I've always been curious about it and saw all of the "four star reviews" I got an order from them last night via Uber eats. I live so close the delivery was prompt and right on time and the food was hot so no complaints there. However, I have to say, it is the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life and I've had pretty bad Chinese food! I got the shrimp fried rice and the Mongolian beef and basically, they both look like there were "soaked" in soy sauce. Very salty. Flavorless except for the soy sauce and absolutely disgusting! The picture of those two dishes, of course looks delicious and the fried rice is the exact right color in the picture, sort of a yellowish color from small amounts of soy sauce or sauce. When mine came, it was actually dark brown in color and just sopping wet with soy sauce. Same thing for the Mongolian beef. This food was not only bad, it was probably one of the worst things I ever put in my mouth and I would absolutely never ever order from there again and surely would not go there for a sitdown meal. It was disgusting! I'm still struggling to understand why there were so many three star and four star reviews for this restaurant in my meal came out so badly and so awful. I remain perplexed. No apologies for this one star review. It was awful. PS-I would've added some photos of the food for proof, but it was so disgusting. I threw away most of it what was left over and could not even imagine keeping it as a leftover.

The flow of food to our table was great, not too fast or rushed and not too slow. Our waitress was wonderful and ensured that our group had everything that we needed to enjoy our meal. Will I be back again - Absolutely!! Everyone in our group agrees that this is the best Chinese food anywhere! I will caution some seeing this review that unlike many other Asian restaurants, if you order a Hot and spicy dish here it will indeed be very hot. I consider that to be good because I enjoy hot spicy food, but for those who cannot handle hot food stick with the milder dishes.

We also tried the marinated beef and grilled chicken, both of which were tender and flavorful. The menu explains the spice levels really clearly, and there is a full sauce bar where you can mix your own dipping sauce, so whether you like mild or super spicy, it is completely up to you. We went around 4 PM, and there were already four or five other parties. By the time we were finishing up, it was getting really busy, so if you prefer a quieter experience, it is probably best to come earlier. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is attentive, and this place is perfect for a date night or a fun group dinner. We highly recommend Szechuan Mansion Hotpot.

My girl got the noodle dish with the beef tripe, and we also ordered beef tripe for appetizer and milky rice cake for dessert. The beef tripe is one of our favorite appetizers, and it's perfect with Japanese beer. The noodles are a bit spicy but the spice level was adjusted low to my girl's liking. The rice cakes were good but not the best we've tried. It's something we'd order again though.

The fried dumplings were crispy, not at all greasy, and filled with very flavorful filling, coupled with a perfectly paired dipping sauce. The hotpot... oh, the hotpot, was filled with pillowy fried tofu, fatty and tender beef, cabbage, wood ear mushroom shreds, seaweed, bean sprouts, and a ton of noodles. All of this was swimming in some of the most amazing Szechuan peppercorn broth that was spicy, but not numbing and not overpowering. It was the perfect broth to wrap each ingredient in flavor. After I finished all of the delicious beef and veggies, I went for the noodles. I never really new what "bouncy" meant when describing noodles until today. They were truly bouncy in with every bite, silky smooth, tender but with a little bit of bite to them. I ate every morsel that I could fit in my stomach and not explode... this was the perfect winter dish for this South Florida eater.
