Thankfully, my mother in law knows the owners, so we received especially attentive and friendly service throughout the meal. Everyone was welcoming, our food came out fast, and they made sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The food tasted fresh, flavorful, and was clearly made with quality ingredients. The Hainan chicken was tender, the roast duck was perfectly crispy and juicy, the fried rice was delicious, and every dish we tried was excellent. We'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic, high quality Chinese food. The photos speak for themselves!

My favorite was the pineapple bread. It wasn't overly sweet, and the bread had a soft texture without being dry. We also tried the mochi, which reminded me of a Filipino dessert. It had red bean filling with a green tea flavor, which was a nice combination. They also had the mochi pancakes, which I had tried before at another spot. My boyfriend tried the beef bun and enjoyed it as well. He mentioned that it could have been a little crispier, but overall, he liked it. Overall, it was a nice spot to stop by for some pastries and a quick bite!

Adj: dependably and predictably ok Chinese food…read more We've been coming here for Chinese meals both sit down and take out from when they used to be Holiday Villa. That was decades ago. About 10 or so years ago, they changed ownership or rather they went through what seems like several changes and then they became Lucky Jade which is kind of a chain but not exactly. I recall at one time, the workers wear shirts that look kind of like uniforms with another store's name on the back with address and phone numbers, so apparently Lucky Jade is owned by people who also own a few other Chinese restaurants but not by the same exact name. In any case, Chinese food can be pretty formulaic, so it's not really that hard to have consistency as long as the cooks know how to make common standard dishes, the taste generally would not be too different. This is true for Lucky Jade. We had take out recently and got a chow fun, a chow mein, and a broccoli beef. The first was quite tasty, on the oily side but I've not found any place able to make it not too oily and still yummy so it's necessary for this dish. Then there's the chow mein, this one was not good. Kind of non descript and the oil tasted oil (reused). Not too greasy which is my biggest complaint of chow mein from elsewhere like New Lai Wah, but again, this did not taste fresh. Finally, the broccoli beef was overcooked. Broccoli was not quite mushy but almost, still a little bit of crunch but you can see they were turning yellow. And the beef was so chemically tenderized (hopefully only with baking soda and not worse) bc it was also almost mushy. Wasn't cheap either, but on par with other Chinese restaurants around here for take out. I think I'll just tell my in laws they can just order from Bel Air Hot Chinese food deli on Florin Rd which is in the same plaza and they'd pay less and the food would actually taste better with fresher oil (probably not reused) and better quality beef that doesn't need to be tenderized to a questionable quality. Overall, not too good.

ok- how can a prior review go from a 4 star to a 2 star in less than a month? Here is my…read moreexplanation. We had some friends over and decided to grab some traditional and non traditional Chinese cuisine for lunch. Hence we opted to dine at Lucky Jade for their diverse menu, accommodations to dishes due to allergy constraints, and fast service. So what did we order: 1) chicken teriyaki with sauce on the side: the entree arrived covered with teriyaki sauce. What was troubling, the server was trying to have our diner accept the kitchens mistake of covering the chicken with sauce..even when our diner refused, the server tried again to convince our diner to accept this dish. finally, the head wait staff told the server to take the item back to the kitchen. However, when the dish returned, the chicken was no longer grilled but fried. I hope the kitchen didn't rinsed the chicken off of the teriyaki sauce and deep fried the same chicken instead of grilling a fresh piece of chicken. Plus, our diners bowl of rice was forgotten and we had to remind the wait staff. 2) broccoli chicken w/fried rice: it was your basic american chinese dish and our diner only orders chinese combo plates. So he had no complaints. 3) Green bean chicken in black bean sauce: very nice black bean flavor, tender moist chicken but half of the green beans were old and stringy. The prep cook needed better prepping in food preparation- please toss out old green beans before the cooks prepare an entree- what was sad, this dish is always exceptionally well prepared in the past. Not today. 4) fried smelt: very good. no complaints on this dish. 5) chicken and asparagus in garlic sauce: moist chicken but again the prepping of the asparagus was lacking. When our wait staff informed us that they had fresh asparagus- we jumped to her reco. Unfortunately, this dish was served with the woody bottom ends of the asparagus. Which is tough, stringy, and just inedible. Plus, our dishes arrived at different times- in some cases 5-10 minutes apart. Perhaps the Kitchen staff had communication and food prep issues today. Not sure, but i would not recommend dining here on a Sunday. Perhaps the "B or C" team of cooks and prep cooks were definitely working tonight. And the wait staff should have caught the mistake from the kitchen and never served that dish...let alone, trying to push a dish that was not properly prepared or requested by the diner. That is also unacceptable. sorry no pics. Would I return....not sure now.

I'm not much of a coconut fan, but I make an exception for the coconut-covered mango mochi. I think it's only available on the weekends, along with their crispy skin pork.

However, be careful with the specials that are offered when you first sit down. Our waitress, Ling, recommended a "combo" for $30 that included fish bone porridge and pan-fried noodles with fish. The noodles tasted fine, but the portion was quite small. The fish bone porridge was extremely bland--I could barely taste any fish. After looking at the regular menu, I noticed that a plain porridge costs about $5, and a similar pan-fried noodle dish is only around $14-15. Based on those menu prices, the $30 combo did not seem to offer good value and felt significantly overpriced. I would definitely recommend the restaurant for its food, but I also recommend checking the menu prices before accepting any off-menu or verbally recommended specials so you know exactly what you're paying for.

I ordered only the asparagus shrimp to see if it was still the same. I immediately noticed a major difference: the portion was much smaller, the shrimp were noticeably smaller, and the asparagus pieces were thin and underwhelming. The flavor was disappointing and nothing like what the restaurant used to serve. Although the remodel is new, the dining area still feels dark and uninviting. Based on the taste, quality, and portion size, I can no longer recommend New China Restaurant for those expecting what it once offered. One thing that I will say's remained the same is Service. They take your order aren't friendly and get you out. 1 star.

For the Walnut Shrimp, the flavor was so delectable and comforting. The Szechuan Beef was tasty with a hint of spiciness. The complements of the lunch plates, such as the Hot & Sour Soup, Egg Roll, Chicken Fried Rice, and Chicken Chow Mein, were all amazingly delicious, too. For lunch, the portion was fairly huge. In terms of the dumplings served, I was beyond impressed. The Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai was super flavorful and paired so well with the soy sauce. The steamed dumplings were also palatable. What stood out to me the most was the indoor ambiance. The inside felt authentically festive with the beautiful decor. I also loved the addition of the fish tank. The fish were the Blood Parrot Cichlids and they were the cutest things ever! Upon approaching the tank, they like to follow you around and get your attention. I absolutely loved the interactive experience. The staff members were also super lovely, attentive, and amiable. Tea Cup Cafe is incredible, as this restaurant serves extraordinary Chinese + Dim Sum dishes in an inviting atmosphere. I also like how this restaurant is located in Midtown and offers complimentary parking on-site, which is super rare to find (parking is always quite a challenge in this area). I highly recommend stopping by!

However, I can still speak to the food quality and overall ambiance. My favorite dish was the Peking duck--it's honestly one of the best Peking ducks I've ever had. The buns were steamed perfectly, and the duck meat was tender while the skin was crispy. The sauce really ties it all together. We also had fish maw soup, a clay pot dish with shrimp and vegetables, chicken and rice, bok choy, and several other dishes. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared, and I would happily reorder most of the items we tried. The ambiance was pretty much what you'd expect from a traditional Chinese-American banquet restaurant. It had the large round tables with lazy Susans to accommodate big groups, along with a stage off to the side for events like wedding receptions and other celebrations. This is a great spot for a large family gathering or celebration. The food was delicious, and the space was well-suited for hosting big groups.
