New China came back with a bang! The original owners retired and new owner Chef Li, with new staff and new menu, brought this Manteca Chinese and Japanese restaurant back to life, and then some. We came in hungry on Friday night and decided to go all out. We started on the Japanese side of the menu, and ordered a few plates of rolls as appetizers. Sushi chefs Morris and Eric didn't disappoint. The rolls were tasty, seared items were aromatic and raw items were subtly sweet with natural freshness. Now that we were even hungrier and needed the Chinese side of the menu to satisfy us. The chow fun was flavorful but not greasy; The string bean with beef sauté yielded the classic Cantonese aroma with tender yet textured tri-tip cut of beef... All in all, we are happy that New China is back at the junction of 99 and 120 - a place for a night out on comfort food is always nice. read more

This new version of New China needs to open up a new Yelp page.. And maybe, call themselves the New, New China Restaurant. I tried their Mongolian Beef and their Hong King style chow mein. I always look for quality of beef and they used a good quality . They used thin noodles just like an Oakland Chinatown would. So far, they're very good. Vibrant and youthful staff and the place was empty when I went. I'll need to try more dishes from here. So far, very authentic. read more

Tonight was out second time eating at the "new" New China- I have to say that it was AMAZING! Tonight we opted for Beef Chow Fun (my favorite), Kung Pao Chicken, Mu Shu Pork and BBQ pork fried rice. The servings are huge- we brought most of it home. The last time, we tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Sweet n Sour Pork and Chicken Chow Mein. We normally go to Yen Du in Stockton but are so impressed by the new and improved New China- finally a great Chinese right here in town. Two thumbs up! read more

Good news! New China has reopened! New owners, great food. My husband and I knew the previous owners since they opened their first restaurant in Ripon. We followed them to Manteca, and ate at their restaurant until they retired. Alex, the new owner of New China , has a beautiful restaurant and the food is delicious. ( FYI the Orange Chicken is to die for. ) For everyone's convenience, they even kept the phone numbers the same! Give it a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. P.S. As of September 1st, the Sushi bar will be reopening for all you Sushi fans. read more

Tried a takeout order at the "new" New China on west Yosemite in Manteca. I placed a big order for 7 people, including Kung Pao Chicken, Beef Broccoli, Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, Vegetable Plate, Fried Rice, Chow Mein, Egg Rolls and BBQ Pork. Everything was prepared and seasoned perfectly. The beef was very tender. The veggies were perfectly cooked, the Kung Pao and the Orange Chicken were outstanding. We all raved about the BBQ Pork. I and my guests could not have been more pleased at all of the dished we ordered. The restaurant staff were very friendly and courteous. I mentioned to the staff that they need to get their website updated. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This was our first time dining at New China Restaurant, and we had a great experience! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, came out hot, and was full of flavor.

Highly recommend! read more

Been seeing people on IG giving this place a try as it is under new management and cooks and it was great. My family got the house fried rice, beef chow fun, house chicken, sweet and sour fish, and wonton soup. All dishes were good and everything was very affordable. Ambience was great too. Come give this place a try. read more

It's open under new management! Excellent lunch specials. We had combo plates that included the best almond chicken I've had in a very long time. Sushi bar opens on 9/1! read more

I was looking for a quick couple of side dishes to bring to a friend's house for a last minute gathering. I had always seen the New China Restaurant in Manteca next to the Save Mart on Yosemite Blvd. and decided to call in my to-go order since I was nearby. I ordered a chicken chow mein and a vegetable dish with mushrooms and snow peas. My order was ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant is a little dark with an odd layout. When you walk-in, it looks as if it is setup for take out only, but if you walk all the way to the left, there is a hostess stand where you can wait to be seated. The service isn't the friendliest, but the food was decent and fresh. read more

My mother and I had frequented the restaurant before they shut down so we were excited to visit during the grand opening with the new owners. The restaurant had been renovated and now the front counter was much nicer and the sushi bar was entirely different (a designated, well designed and much more sophisticated space). As we sat awaiting our order the sushi chef, Eric, visited us personally to review our order. He was so awesome!!!! When we discussed our order he offered to make a roll based on our favorite ingredients so we would have a customized meal. That made the experience feel so special. While we waited he delivered us a complimentary appetizer which tasted amazing and its presentation was beautiful. Eric really made our dining experience feel so special and his dedication to making our experience feel custom based on our preferences was so cool. He is such an awesome representative for the restaurant to start off strong with a new modern environment, customized experience and great quality food. Eric is the true MVP. read more

For some reason I can let find Cherry Chicken or Cherry Pork anywhere else but in Northern California. Was in Manteca and found that New China Restaurant has It and I had to get some. It's just like I remember it. Deep fried, sweet and delicious! For me it's a must to order either Cherry pork or Cherry chicken. Both are delicious! read more

If you like American-ized Chinese food, this is the place for you. I went with a couple of people who love this restaurant. Years after visiting New China restaurant in Ripon (2016?), I was hesistant. We were already going somewhere but they didn't tell me where. Everyone working there seems to be very positive and pleasant. The decorations are typically Chinese, heavy on the red and gold. They have two menus: one with Chinese food and another with o-sushi, etc. I have to remember that I'm back in California and there are few traditional restaurants, Chinese or Japanese. On the east coast, fusion restaurants aren't quite as popular. She asked about drinks. The couple wanted hot tea and I wanted iced tea. I ended up with hot tea. I ordered Szechuan style tofu with rice. The steamed rice was good. It should be for $3.50 a bowl. The main dish was interesting. It appeared to use molasses or something else sugar-y. It's this kind of thing that throws people when they finally have Szechuan style food and it doesn't taste anything like this. I remember asking the owner of a restaurant why they cooked that way and she told me "because they won't eat it the other way", which is probably true. So, if you like American-ized Chinese food, I'm sure you'll be happy. The couple enjoyed their food. The price wasn't bad, but their menu is so not Chinese that I wonder what they eat when they close the restaurant. Service was friendly. I won't return. read more

So the service was not what I hoped for. Took over 45 minutes for a to go order. To be fair they had lots of to go orders and it was during the dinner rush time. The ambiance was cool in the dining area but not so desirable in the to go section. Definitely needs a deep cleaning! The food was ok. I would give 2 stars for food with 5 being fabulous and 1 being horrible. My Wor Won Ton soup had two shrimp. The wontons were over cooked and falling apart. I had about three maybe four pieces of bbq pork in it, not whole slices just pieces. Also got the build your own combination plate, the chow mien lacked flavor and left a lot to be desired it gets a 1 star. The broccoli beef was good 3 stars and the sweet and sour chicken was 3 stars. I will need to give this place another try before 3 pm when everything is cheaper for one and I'm hoping less busy. When I come again I may update my review ( I'm hoping I can). Parking can be tricky here as it's in a strip mall. Check out my photos. read more

Let me start off saying I have been going to New China in Manteca for years. This place was the place to be in the 2000s. I went with some co-workers in October 2023. In total, 4 of us dined and were promptly greeted and sat as soon as we walked in. The ambiance of this place continues to be great. The lighting is dim and it feels very comfortable and authentic. Our drinks orders were taken promptly and a short while later, our food orders were taken as well. I ordered the lunch plate with Broccoli beef and asked for them to use Mongolian Sauce instead of the regular sauce (extra $1.00), this gives it a little spicy kick. Try it, you won't regret it. I also ordered it with pork fried rice, which was about $1.00 extra (substituted for Steamed Rice). It came with daily soup as well. The flavor was good and about what I expected it to be. My only beef (pun intended) was that the portions seem to be pretty small, comparing to what I have been used to during previous visits. My co-workers also weren't happy with the taste of their meals, compared to other places in town. They mentioned that it tasted pretty bland. Overall, I give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. I'd like to see some slightly more affordable options for lunch. Expect to pay about 12-15 (before tip) for a lunch plate and water. read more

This place reminds me of the Chinese restaurants in New York. They simply will satisfy your taste buds if you have a craving for Asian cuisine. New China, is a Japanese & Chinese restaurant combined and do both cultures cuisine on a very high level with mid range pricing. Friends and I ordered honey walnut prawns, beef chowmein, vegetable fried rice, tempura shrimp, salmon teriyaki, cherry chicken, pot stickers, egg rolls along with sushi dragon rolls. I tell you now, every dish was favorable, tasty and presented with love. This by far is my favorite Asian restaurant in Northern California, hands down. New China restaurant was worth the hour drive from the peninsula and it delivered. Big Time ! So if you're in Manteca, this place is hidden outside a strip mall and is a treasure. Also dine there to appreciate its rustic decore. read more

Like the food. Was disappointed that they have closed their dining room. Don't know why?? Wife and I would go there after church on Sunday evenings occasionally. Stopped by and got some to go about a week ago. Still huge portions even for take out. read more

Food is fantastic and plentiful. The menu has so many items that are not even offered in other places

Good Chinese spot in the area. We decided to have dinner here last week. This place offers Japanese food as well. We chose to build our own combo plates. My dad ordered the pork fried rice, sweet & sour pork and beef with broccoli. My mom got the chicken chow mein , chicken with mixed vegetables and orange chicken. I ordered the Mongolian beef, white rice and honey walnut shrimp. The lack luster would have to be the chicken chow mein. It tasted bland and needed more flavor. I would pass next time on ordering the Mongolian beef, it had 95% onions and 4 to 5 pieces of beef. The ones that we liked are the orange chicken, sweet & sour pork and chicken with mixed vegetables. Overall, we enjoyed the food we ordered here. Service was good too. Will have to come back and try out their Japanese food. read more

Showed up to this establishment for a birthday lunch that we didn't reserve and the service workers were ready to accommodate this request for us. The ambience was a bit dark but that didn't slow down our party at all. We ordered our food and drinks and these came out in a reasonable amount of time. They were also able to keep our cake in the fridge until it was time to sing happy birthday. Staff were nice and friendly. Would definitely come back for the sushi! read more

I had a much larger star review, but this is now the third time, I have coughed up plastic, and choked on plastic from their soups. Once was eating it from when my mother dropped some off... I assumed it was a fluke. Once while eating there, I again assumed/like an idiot, that this must just be some weird coincidence. But, we ordered soup again today, and I coughed up plastic, it cut my throat, and I'm over it. I can't even believe I allowed this to happen this many times. Definitely stupid on my part. I have photos of the plastic. It is thick, sharp, and no idea how much I actually swallowed. This is unacceptable, and not okay. This used to be my favourite place, but I can't ever eat here again. Check your soup. Mainly the won ton types. This was from one bowl. I haven't broke apart the rest but I am sure there is more plastic in there. read more

Tonight I had the Mexican Roll and Hot & Sour soup. The roll was pretty good with spicy crab and avocado on the inside, topped with cilantro and jalapeño. I think I'd order that one again. The hot and sour soup isn't at the top of my list. The broth is thick and almost syrupy in flavor, almost like a melted jelly consistency. Not my favorite. read more

This used to be the go to spot for Chinese Food for me and my family. The quality of the food and flavor was top notch. Fast forward to today and if I could give zero stars, I would. I ordered the 3B and what was supposed to be Sweet & Sour Pork was nothing but breaded bread, yes, I said breaded bread, the meat was non-existent. The Chicken Chow Mien was bland. The only thing more bland was the supposed Garlic Chicken. The overall experience was complete trash! I am done with this place. read more

Worst customer service this people don't know how to talk in a nice way! She screams at you and if she doesn't understand you.

This place is the worst. We stopped eating here awhile back and decided to try it again since we wanted Chinese food and sushi. Their meat tastes freezer burnt in the wonton soup and same with the tempura shrimp in the rolls. The food messed up all of our stomachs and all in all was not great. On top of that, my daughter slid her card twice and it kept saying denied, the lady said you don't have any money and walked away. Very rude. My daughter asked to run it again knowing there was money in her account and it went through. This will be the last time we eat here. Definitely not worth $120 read more

Gonna be honest I ordered 6B and got my noodles and rice with no flavor. I had to put sauce that I got from the store for flavor. Wouldn't recommend unless you like your food with no flavor and the best thing you can taste are the small veggies. Side note I got a piece of meat that looked like a PET FISH was deep fried. read more

Good food and nice people. If you ask for no MSG they will accommodate. We have had Xmas party's there and they were very happy to help. read more

Don't recommend at all, first time trying it and the last time trying it. Doesn't even look like orange chicken, also the Mongolian beef was definitely the worst part of the plate. Gave them a shot and they blew it, don't waste that 20$ like I did read more

Worse Chinese restaurant I've been to! The Chinese decor inside is nice but can we have a little more lights please?! Egg drop soup was watered down and lacking veggies. Pork fried rice and sweet and sour pork were super porky. Salt and pepper pork chops lacked salt while the garlic was burnt to a crisp. All the dishes we had were somewhat tasteless! They must've ran out of salt that day! read more

I really wanted to like this place... I mean, I really wanted to like this place! The menu looked really interesting and a little more authentic than the other Chinese spots in this area. I am from San Francisco, so the Chinese food offerings in the valley are piss poor compared to the city, but I suppose I will have to take what I can get. My husband and I got the barbecue pork chow mein, Kung Pao chicken and fried wontons. The Kung pao chicken has a strange sweet smell to it. And the Barbecue pork chow mein was a little bit sad also... There were a few measly pieces of barbecue pork, but overall, it wasn't disgusting. To be honest, the only part of the meal that was good was the fried wonton and that's pretty sad since this is a Chinese restaurant. I can fry wonton... This place really needs to get its act together... read more
