I had lunch here with my mom, we Ordered General Tso's Prawns, the waiter brings us General Tso's Chicken. We politely pointed out the mistake, and the waiter told us we had ordered two plates of General Tso's--chicken and shrimp--the shrimp wasn't ready yet. I pointed out that this was incorrect--we only ordered GT's shrimp. Then the waiter (an older gentleman who seemed to have difficulty understanding us) got angry and insisted we were wrong about what we ordered. He removed the chicken and slammed the plate into a dish bin. Then he brought us walnut shrimp, not at all what we ordered but we ate it just to avoid the drama and get out of there. The bill wasn't right and we ended up paying extra for sides we didn't order, not to mention the waiter never admitted to or apologized for his multiple mistakes, and was visibly annoyed with us for the remainder of our meal. This is the first time I've ever felt unwelcome in a restaurant. This is usually my go to place for Chinese food when I'm in the area, but the service we received has me seriously reconsidering ever returning to an otherwise good Chinese restaurant. read more

Some of the better food in Redding Pros: good service, fair prices. Nice atmosphere, white table cloth, good food. Cons: nothing comes to mind. No msg in the food I had, I'll be back. read more

Have ordered dinner from here twice. Decent food. The first time was good, enjoyed the sesame chicken, crab/cream cheese wonton, and pork fried rice. Ordering over the phone is difficult if you struggle to understand thick accents, but it's doable. The first order was two dinner plates, both were correct. Tonight it was two more dinner plates and they messed up my request for JUST pork fried rice. Be aware - when they tell you 10min for your order it's safe to add 5-10min to that estimate; or in my case tonight -- 25min extra. Also, the order of 10 fried wontons is just that, flat fried wontons; no cream cheese. I made the mistake of assuming there was cream cheese... My bad. 2 stars removed for poor time estimates and only OK service, food is alright. read more

New China offers tasty food, friendly service, and generous portions for your money. I usually order take out, and the food is always piping hot when I go to pick it up. Would definitely recommend trying it if you haven't before. read more

I got takeout last night. Best Chinese in town. We'll be back. Don't forget to ask for chopsticks

Best Chinese food in town! The service is fast and friendly. Get the General Pso's prawn

Service was amazing and the food was delicious! Even my 5 year old picky eater loved the food

Great food, and amazing price. The owner was busting his hump this Christmas to get food out the door, and he's definitely earned my respect dealing with that crowd. read more

Stopped here on our way north. Best Chinese food I have had in my five years living in the northwest: from the soup to the entrees. I was a bit disappointed that they don't serve fish (seafood dishes are either prawns or scallops) - But the fried prawns and the chicken with black bean sauce more than made up for that. I could feel the goodness in my stomach for a good 250 miles. read more

This is good American Chinese food. It's hot and fresh. The staff is nice. There is always plenty of food. They are very consistent I have never had a bad meal. read more

Terrible first impression. Waitress is very rude. Friend I came with said they are always like that.Shame because the food is pretty good. If they had excellent customer service they would be a 4 or 5. read more

You can't find combo plates hardly anymore...most places serve family style...but here you can find your tasty combo to harken back memories of the good old days...served hot and fresh in no time at all!! Great service and great food! read more

Best Chinese food in redding the fried rice is hella good and the sesame chicken is soo yumm I love their hot green tea the prices are really cheap and brings a lot of food! You can share the fried rice & chicken, the noodles are pretty good too. They have Chinese music playing in the background makes it feel very authentic & they make the napkins shaped like a chefs hat super cute! The place is very clean & pretty busy so there's always people inside eating which is good thing! :) read more

Ordered lunch today at the urging of some staff. The menu downloaded clearly states that the Chef's Suggestions "Happy Family" came with steamed rice. When the order was placed over the phone, they made no mention that rice did not come with the 'Happy Family', nor did they ask if I wanted rice with my entree. Really, no rice with Chinese food is like no pasta with Italian. So upon returning to the window service with menu and receipt in hand, one of the employees just says it doesn't come with rice despite having the printed menu in hand. So they just lost a potential customer that LOVES Chinese food over a container of rice. Not the best business plan in my book. Food was fine... service extremely poor! read more

The rice tasted day old, the chow mein was oily,....... should call this place chow yuck, will not go there again

I wish I could give ZERO stars! What a horrible experience. This is the last time I will every give New China a chance. I decided years ago that the chicken foot with claws I found in my food, although a little off-putting was forgivable but the RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL customer service should never be tolerated. Wrong from the moment we were seated. The owner/manager that took our order was openly hostile about my very well behaved grandson, our desire to have a moment to look at the menu and apparently everything else about us. We were rushed, my daughter received her food before the rest of us and was finished before we got ours. The check was put at the table almost immediately and we were asked if we needed boxes while we were less than half way through our meal. This man that took our order, barked loudly at my daughter when he returned to "box" up our food and it was apparent he wanted to swat her hand for removing her shrimp, to continue eating it. We were then treated to a hovering waiter as we got ready to pay and leave. It appeared that he was eager to process our bill before we had the chance to leave. This was the rudest I have ever been treated while dining. Did I mention that the food was horrible? The rice was dry and inedible, the egg drop soup was thick and goopy, the sweet and sour pork had dried out chunks of pork in the center of thick batter and the pu pu platter had different degrees of chewy, bland meats. So very disappointed but more disappointed that I didn't refuse to pay for such a bad meal. read more

This was a huge disappointment! I call in my order, the guy says 10 minutes. I tell him please make it 25 minutes please. Ok no problem. I show up food isn't ready yet. Ok no problem. 20 minutes and still nothing is ready. I leave and 10 minutes later get a couple of calls from a New York number. Not going to order from New China again. read more

It's been a while since I tried this Chinese Restaurant. My first visit wasn't too spectacular so I didn't go back. This place is close to home on the west side of Redding and we wanted take out. YUUMMMMM! Lemon Chicken - awesome, Kung Poa - perfect, Moo Shu Pork - incredible. Next time I'll eat in. The decor is inviting and friendly and it seemed to be relaxing. We will definitely be back! read more

If I were just rating it on the food, I would give it probably four stars. Takeout service, however, is pretty bad. Last night we ordered garlic shrimp, potstickers, veggie mai fun, and mixed vegetable. Instead they gave us two orders of kung pao shrimp, the potstickers, mai fun with pork, and the mixed vegetable. Since I don't eat pork, this meant that my dinner consisted of kung pao shrimp and mixed vegetable, and I really don't like kung pao shrimp. (The kung pao shrimp was a sea of bell pepper and celery, and the shrimp themselves didn't taste particularly fresh. The mixed vegetable was good, but basic.) The whole order cost about $40, which for two people for two meals wouldn't be bad, but since my portion of it was crushingly underwhelming, it felt like kind of a rip off. If this were the first time that something like this had happened, I wouldn't be jumping on Yelp to give a bad review, but this is like the third time in a row that they've screwed up our order. The plain fact of the matter is that the guy behind the front desk taking orders does not speak English. Don't get me wrong: I love immigrants, they built our country. But when you say to the guy "I want mai fun with NO MEAT, just vegetables," and he says "No meat?" and you say "No meat, just vegetables," and the mai fun has meat in it, there's a problem. And it's a problem that's going to preclude me from going there in the future. read more

I lived in Redding 20 years ago, and just recently came back. I was disheartened to discover that all of my favorite restaurants had gone out of business! I was really in the mood for some good Chinese food! After looking through all of the great reviews of New China, I figured I'd give it a try! My daughters and I ordered the crabmeat cheese wontons, pork fried rice, pork chow mein, and sweet and sour chicken! Each item was better than the next! The food was so delicious, that we have returned several times since our first visit, last Saturday! Even though the restaurant is small, it makes for a more quite, slow paced, dinning experience! It is very clean, and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. If you're looking for great Chinese food, in a relaxed environment, New China is the place to go!! We have also ordered take-out twice, and both times were accurate and delicious! read more

I used to stop by here quite often and was always very pleased with the food and the service. However, the last couple of times has been a disappointment. My special chow mein was tasteless and my husband's lemon chicken was just ok. I'm reluctant to go back now. read more

After all the reviews I thought this was gonna be a winner so bummed! We got food to go, I ordered the Cashew Chicken which was good, Sweet & Sour Chicken which was way to mushy and 90 % Pineapple, Broccoli Beef which we never got, and Beef Fried Noodles which were good. Instead of the Broccoli Beef I ended up with someone's Sesame Chicken. The soup I have no idea what it was but it was horrible. read more

Close to home, great friendly service, and great food! I love the General Tso's Prawns

My wife and I love this place the food is always fresh and the atmosphere is great. I would say it is the best Chinese food in Redding. Every time we get our food it is fast , very hot and fresh. If you go try the sweet and sour chicken , sweet and sour pork and General Chicken. It is Definitely a 5 star place. read more

We ordered take out after a long day of traveling. I had the sesame chicken dinner that came with soup, fried rice and chow me in. I found it to be the best I had in quiet awhile. My husband had prawns in lobster sauce and said it was very good. We enjoyed our meal and they were very nice when we picked it up. Would suggest if you want some good Chinese food. read more

I've read a lot of complaints about bad service from New China but I have always received great service. I don't know of any other Chinese food place where you can order one meal at dinner for $10 that gives you soup, an egg roll, chow mein, fried rice, and the entree! You get so much in the dinner combo that you can easily split it with someone else. I always order the orange chicken or kung pao chicken. You can't go wrong with either. read more

Excellent food, pleasant staff, good prices. This is one of my favorites in Redding.

We love this place. We have been driving out of our way for over 10 years now just to pick up dinner. Quite a bit of food for the price. Friendly service. I would recommend them to anyone. Their pan fried noodles, hunan beef, general tso's chicken are among our favorites. read more

Best Chinese food in Redding!! They are very friendly and the food is so fresh. They have the best value for your money and they are very inexpensive. They also are accommodating with substitutes you ask for. They even give you an orange at the end of your meal with your fortune cookie. The war wonton soup and egg flour soup are one of the best. I've been to all the Chinese restaurants in town and none of them compare to this one. The only thing I wish is that they were closer in town. read more

Had two recent take out meals here. Fresh and tasty. Mandrian prawns a favorite

In and out in less than 30 minutes. And the food was great. One of our favorite American/Chinese places in town.

The service was not very good. Waited about ten minutes to get a menu...my sister had to go up and get some for us. The waiter was kinda rude also.the food overall was pretty good. The waiter never asked if we wanted anything to drink besides water. The bill wasn't to bad very good...pretty cheap. read more

We have been eating here for years. The owners and staff are very professional and May always remembers your name. We recently moved to the opposite end of town, less than a mile from two other Chinese restaurants. So, to save the drive, we tried one of them. Never again!! We will always drive the extra 5 miles one way to eat at New China. The vegetables are not over cooked, the meats are always tender and the sauces are full of flavor. The price is affordable and the quantity is enough for dinner and lunch tomorrow. We highly recommend the Walnut Prawns, Garlic Green Beans, Pot Stickers, Hot and Sour Soup and the list goes on. I have never had a dish I did not like. read more

By far the best Chinese food in town, but when you call in a to go order if you drive from across town with the limited amount of time and you were very clear with your order and half of it is messed up just know that the female employee will argue with you not only do you have to drive across town again they don't compensate you in anyway. And when you call them back to let them know and have them fix it you can hear the lady talking shit in the background to the manager very unprofessional I'm very angry and this whole experience was extremely rude. If you don't understand the person who is ordering then maybe you shouldn't answer the phone. I have never ever had a problem with this restaurant until today read more

The epitome of cheap american "chinese" food, quite the spot if ur looking to blow it up!

Hole in the wall in a strip mall. Fantastic Food! Very clean place!

Best Chinese food in town, in my opinion. Their sweet and sour chicken or pork is great, and their crap cheese wontons are to die for. They are very friendly and remember you by name if you are a regular customer which in my mind means they really do care about their customers. read more

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Redding. We usually get the dinner combo and we leave satisfied. I do have that rare moment where I must have EVERYTHING. They have amazing hot and sour soup, and crab and cheese wontons. I could eat these all day and never get tired of it. read more

Service was good and the food was better than average but not superb. Called in a take out order. Even though it was fairly busy with other people picking up their orders, the food came out timely. Ordered crab wontons, potstickers, chow mein, and kung pao chicken tasted great. read more

We adore New China, not only is the staff very nice, and fast! Their food is delicious! We order take out from them all the time and we have never had a bad experience!! read more
