New China

We came in at around 2:45 pm and it looks as if we were the first ones here. The pictures are what…read moreoriginally brought us in and I had been craving Chinese food for a while now. Let me tell you!!! As someone who lives in the Bay Area, I get real excited when I see good prices like here, especially from Asian restaurants where normally every entree other than an appetizer is about $15-$17. You can't find good chow mein for under that price where I live in San Jose. This restaurant was fresh and delicious, flavorful and overall everything you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The place overall is quiet and soothing, a nice atmosphere to just sit and have a decent meal in peace. They even got some classical music playing subtly in the background, like a spa. The staff are very polite and welcoming, mostly women in the front, very kind and sweet. They smile a lot and refilled our drinks without us asking. Everything we had ordered was splendid. Chow mein was firm, not soggy, sauce stuck into the noodle, full of flavor, didn't even need to add soy sauce. Had a nice "wok hei" flavor to it too, for those that don't know it basically means savory and smoky like how Chinese food should taste. Garlic chicken was delicious and not too spicy at all, just some chili flakes. It didn't really have a garlicky flavor but more of a sweet, sour and mild kind of flavor. Great portions and a nice balance of veggies, sauce and meat. Nothing here tasted bland. The broth of the sizzling rice was perfect, not too salty and for once they actually put the toasted rice on the side so it doesn't get too soggy within the soup. I love this place, if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back, maybe even during the night when the bar is open. I've never been to a Chinese restaurant that had an open bar and tv which I thought was pretty classic. They closed my favorite local Chinese spot in my neighborhood and I've been all over the bay but this place up in Redding is the closest to it, very happy we came across this on yelp. It was worth turning around 10 minutes just to try it. We had ordered the lunch special (11am to 3pm) combo plate with chicken chow mein, chicken with garlic sauce, it came with an egg roll and your choice of egg flour or sweet and sour soup. My hubby got shrimp fried rice and I had ordered the sizzling rice soup because I came across another review that said it was the best they've ever tried. I had to get me some, it's a childhood classic for me and I agree it's the best. Also we only paid $41 plus tip for a lotta food. I rate this place 12/10!

Deliciousness: I am particularly fond of their sweet and sour pork and sesame chicken, the chow mein covers all of the best tastes that you want in a chow mein including savory salty umami. I also appreciate that they put the veggies on top so you can easily remove them if you do not want them. Environment: it's a cozy kind of hole in the wall place, plenty of space and tables, the only sign that I could see simply said Chinese food, but it's casual and I love it.

The restaurant closes 9 PM and we were lucky enough to reach before that as we entered. The ambience was amazing. The hotel was quite big enough and the sitting area was also very pretty. Me and my daughter and my husband selected up place. We ordered a dinner plate unknowing of the fact both the quantity of the food and as we were hungry enough so we ordered one plate of kung pao chicken, which comes with egg drop soup and one egg roll along with a plate of half chicken needles, half pork fried rice or boiled rice, optional along with the compound chicken and we ordered another plate of sweet-and-sour chicken along with the same combination of fried rice or white rice and half chicken noodles along with a soup and one roll and my daughter ordered a plate of chicken noodle noodles. The food was served within five minutes and seeing the quantity we got scared because it was huge. I would recommend you if you are with a kid or if you are three people please go for two plates as it's really huge amount of quantity we couldn't finish it at all.

I dig the food at this place, man. I almost always get it to go, and if I'd have written this review based on take-out, it'd have been four or five stars. But I took my lady-friend Maude here for Valentines Day, and it was a fucking abortion, man. First of all, the beer and wine selection is, like, from 1962 or something. And second, the service was surreal, like a cable network sketch comedy show's rendition of a Chinese Restaurant. You're probably, uh, uh, uh, *judging* me for taking Maude to a Chinese restaurant on Valentines Day, right? Fuck you, man. Neither of us likes Hallmark holidays, so we were avoiding all the other restaurants packed with people doing the VD thing. Also, we both had that nasty cold that's going around, and the hot and sour soup at New China is the shit when you've got a cold, man. That, and some fried prawns. I don't like fried food, man, but you know that horseradish mustard they serve with the fried prawns? Cleans your sinuses right out. And the Moo Shu pork Chinese burritos are righteous. The service started out fine, with a short wait for a table that they hustled to clear to get us seated. But then, man, it got weird. After ordering, we waited a long time for our food. Meanwhile, about a hundred to-go orders get picked up. Finally our food arrives, all at once -- usually you get your soup first. And the waiter hurriedly prepares the first two Moo Shu pork burritos with about one-tenth of the filling for each. You only get four of the Chinese tortilla things, so if my math is right, that left two tortillas, and eight-tenths of the Moo Shu pork filling. That was a fucking abomination. Then, about five minutes after we start eating, a waitress swings by and asks if she can take our plates. No. She then asks if she can box up the rest of our food. Uh, NO, man. She then goes to the next table and asks the six people there -- who had just received their orders -- if she can box up their food. A woman at that table is like, "We just started eating, dear." And then it happens again, and then again. Finally, we agree to having some of the food boxed up, and our check comes. This is actually cool: With your check and fortune cookies, New China gives each of you a dissected Mandarine orange, cupped in half of the peel, as a little after-dinner palate cleanser. Nice. Maude puts her credit card down and we open our fortune cookies, and I skewer a piece of orange and eat it. And then, as I reach to skewer another piece, a waiter swoops in and removes the plate with the two oranges. What the fuck, man? Maude hasn't even touched hers yet, and I've still got like seven-eighths of mine. This is literally one minute after the oranges were put on the table. It was like getting bum-rushed. This aggression will not stand, man. read more

I love this place, the food is excellent and the people who own and operate it are like family. The owner even put my other bag (which wasn't even part of the order for neighbors and myself) in a bag that would be easier to carry without being asked. These people make every person that walks in there feel like they are especially glad to see them and their food is excellent. I've had a lot of Chinese food at excellent hole in the wall places in San Francisco's Chinatown, and New China can keep up with them in variety and taste. I feel very fortunate that this place is 3 minutes from my home and near such a gorgeous view of Mt. Shasta, and other surrounding mountains with newer snow from last week too, to enjoy while driving to pick it up! The fortune in the fortune cookie was promising also :-) read more

This was my first time eating here, so maybe I caught them on an off day, but unfortunately our $50 take home order was a complete waste of money. The egg drop soup literally tasted like water. The vegetable chow mien was bland noodles with barely any vegetables. The sweet and sour chicken and kung pao beef had very little flavor. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm really disappointed. Oh Redding, I wish you had better food options. read more
