    Jillian S.

    Great place for a satisfying meal! Ordered: Sesame Tofu ($10.59) - filling, delicious, chewy Plain Fried Rice ($3.19/pint) - good subtle flavor Chicken Fried Rice ($7.99/quart) - large portion, good flavor Teriyaki Beef ($6.99) - great flavor, but too chewy Fried Chicken Wings ($5.99) - good, crispy Pros: -reasonably priced -flavorful -large portions -accurate orders -quick -ample parking We would recommend this restaurant to others!

    Decided to order from New China since I was on a job in the area. They also had decent Yelp reviews. So I ordered my usual Hunan Chicken, egg roll, and hot n sour soup. I arrived a bit earlier than the recommended time, so my order was still in the wok. When finished, I decided to go back for the job site to eat up. When I got to the job, there was a lot of steam coming from everything so I couldn't wait to eat because it smelled so good. I love it when their hot sauce isn't those packets of hot red40 food coloring. Their hot sauce is some oil with lots of red peppers in it. Very authentic! The Hunan Chicken was heavenly with tons of flavor and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The shrimp egg roll was light, crispy, and bursting with flavor. Once the Hot N Sour soup cooled down (about an hour, lol) it too was very flavorful. This place is as good as it gets when it comes to shopping center Chinese places. I'll be looking for reasons to come back for more! Well done!

    Cleanest Chinese place I have ever been in. We ordered online, and by the time we got there, our food was ready. Excellent Chicken Teriyaki, General Tso's, Fried Dumplings, and Crab Rangoons. First time coming, but it won't be our last!

    Egg rolls were very tough and not fresh. The fried rice was mediocre with nearly raw chunks of onion. Overall it was not bad, but not great.

They offer table and booth options with available seating at the bar as well. The "front of the house" are, from what i can tell, an all woman brigade, ranging in ages, and they are all so awsome!! They all bring their own spirited personality. Khao Sen can get busy at times, and these amazing women "get to it". I've seen impatient customers get annoyed after 5 mins of waiting and it's super unfair to this amazing staff. The menu has selective, authentic flavors of Thailand, and every option will have you coming for more. For appetizers we've snacked on the vegetable gyoza (GYO PAK), crispy crab sticks served with sweet chilli sauce (so delicious), Tofu Tod, which i have to emphasize this part. In over 10 years, i've not once taken a second bite when it comes to tofu. Khao Sen has their tofu lighlty battered and fried so deliciously, with their sweet chilli and ground peanuts sauce to dip in. I not only had a second bite but i ate the entire appetizer. Even my vegan friend raves about the Tofu Tod. Ok ok, moving on......ohhh it really is good though, haha. Ok, next we've lip smacked on their steamed dumplings, stuffed with ground pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, onion, scallion, and cilantro, served with a sweet soy sauce (KANOM JEEP).....yes!!!!!. Lets talk chicken wings. Seriously, dang!! Their spicy Thai-style fried chicken wings served with sweet chili sauce (KAI ZAAP) are noise makers. Take a bite and tell me you didn't go "mmMMmm". Making our way on down the list is the tender baby back ribs coated with their southern Thai-style curry paste (SI - KRONG PAD PRIK). These are topped with saffron and very much another delicious option. That's it, we left some still on the menu for next time. Entrees!! I'm between favorites at the moment. The spicy tom yum soup with egg noodles, pork and shrimp dumplings, shrimp, ground pork, fish roll, fish ball, bok choy, cilantro, scallion, crispy wontons, ground peanuts, and fried garlic oil (BA MII TOM YUM) and the northern Thai-style curry, crispy skin chicken thigh, egg noodles, crispy egg noodle, cilantro, scallion, picked radish, shallots, and lime (KHAO SOI). Both are different in flavors but equally devine in their own respects. Now direct your attention to Khao Sen's roasted duck and gravy over rice with steamed Chinese broccoli, pickled ginger, cilantro, and scallion; served with a side of sweet dipping sauce (KHAO NA PED), another eye rolling meal!! You have the option of choosing a rice, white, fried, or berry (purple rice)...... i suggest the berry. The beef broth, thin rice noodles, sliced NY strip, stewed beef, beef tendon, beef ball, cilantro, scallion, and Chinese broccoli will have you talking while eating. My cousin couldn't stop raving about the flavor while eating. All this food talk has me thirsty. I can't get enough of the Lychee Tea which is green tea, lychee, and lychee jelly. My drink magically disappears the first 2 times, everytime, the waitress sets the glass down.....poof just disappears. So, i'm forced to order another . Their peach bellini and lychee saki mojito are aMAAAAZziiing. Delightful and refreshing. Seems to really be a common theme here. Everything is flavorful and refreshingly delicious from the food to the drinks. Khao Sen offers beer, wine, ciders, sake. For non-alchoholic drinks there's fountain drinks, coffe and teas, fruit teas, milk teas, fizzy drinks, milks, annnnnd water. Parking can be limited during rush hours. There is a parking garage currently being constructed, but for now there is a parking lot and street parking. Come one Come ALL!

    Clean venue, good flavor (3.5 / 5 star)…read more Venue: bright and modern decor. Small-to medium sized venue on the ground floor of apartment building. (live, play) type of building. Food: small menu which I do not have any problem with. When I go to Thai/lao restaurants, I always order papaya salad - which will tell me everything and what kind of food I can expect. Very simple taste- that doesn't mean bland. It captures sweet, savory and tang. Ordered green curry. Good flavor but almost bland - it can improve on the ingredients. Khao soi noodles again, taste good but missing something - All the dishes tried seems it was missing fish sauce flavor and more, which all dishes didn't seem to reflect traditional deep flavors. The chicken wings were pretty good. Wish the skin was crunchy and had a better batter. The hat yai dry rub was good, salty and sour but kind of reminded me more like tajin. My son really loved it. Service: yin and yang. One older lady who served our table was nice and attentive. The other supporting female staff there was unfriendly, almost seemed mad at the world. Slow service. Price: I don't know why NC charges so much for Asian food in general. I can't say it's outrageously expensive or reasonable price for the genre of this food. All in all, not a bad tasting food. It captured good flavor and has potential. I felt that the dishes are made afraid to show the real flavor traditional Thai flavor. May be good for entry -level food exploring.

Was…read morepleasantly surprised as we walked in to see this Chinese restaurant is not like other fast food ones we have eaten at. The decor is much nicer with an appealing dining area where they offer table service. At same time you can order at counter for take-out or order on-line for pick up. We choose to sit down and be waited on. We were greeted immediately with our soft drink desire taken and menus delivered. I ordered Egg Drop Soup to start and Chicken Chow Mein and my wife ordered Pepper Steak with Onion combo. The soup which came with crunchie noodles was flavorful with nice amount of onion chive and egg floating. My chow mein was good and the small plate order was more than enough. The steak combo came with fried rice and eg roll. My wife enjoyed her meal and the egg role was the best we have experienced. To elevate the dining experience there is red pepper sauce and duck sauce on each table if you care for it. The waitress taking care of entire dining room is the wife of establishment. She took care of five tables like clock work never missing a beat. The chef/husband was out and spoke with each table and later came out with complimentary dessert donuts for each table. This husband and wife team work very hard to insure customers are pleased. We really are sad that this place has not been on our radar sooner.

    I have eaten here twice. First time.. it was an easy 5 stars... possibly the best Chinese take out…read moreever.... The second time... they disappointed me with a 3. The 5 was because they had very home cooked, well seasoned, tasty sauces. The second time, tasted more like pre-made, frozen/ reheated,... Chinese. They were super friendly both times. No comment on ambiance... this too... was take out. Over all... across the two attempts... they are a solid 4.

The sushi bar felt sketchy, and even staples like General Tso's chicken were below average. I had been here once years ago and decided to give it another shot, but unfortunately, it didn't improve. When I review restaurants, I don't hold them to unrealistic standards--I judge them based on what they are. If I'm going to a Chinese buffet, I expect a certain level of quality for that category. In this case, it didn't meet that bar, and it's not a place I would return to.
