    Chicken and mixed vegetables
    Michelle H.

    Just here to add to the great reviews that reeled me in. I tried this place for the first time since I'm running out of ideas at work for lunch. The chicken and mixed vegetables was loaded with flavor and the staff was very friendly . I plan to make this restaurant a more frequent place for lunch.

    If you're looking for an excellent, affordable, tasty Chinese takeout spot in Bethlehem, PA, this is the place. My boyfriend and I had a hankering for some Chinese one night and he told me that this is the place to go for Chinese in his area. He said that he had tried a lot of places, but always found that this was the best local spot, in his opinion. Now, I haven't tried the food at any other Chinese restaurants in Bethlehem, PA, but the food here was truly yummy, and for a really good price. We got the General Tso's chicken combination platter and the Kung Pao chicken combination platter. Both combination platters came with roast pork fried rice. We also got a small wonton soup on the side. The total price was about $25. I think that the food was not too expensive. The food was really good. The egg roll was pretty crunchy and flavorful. The sauces with both chicken dishes were just the right consistency. The General Tso's chicken was a tad on the sweet side, but certainly not as sweet as some other General Tso's chicken dishes that I have had at other Chinese restaurants. The roast pork fried rice was also good, and the wontons in the wonton soup had just the right firmness and chewiness. I would order from here again.

    Simply amazing…read more.. While most people were indulging in Sunday brunch, my girlfriend wanted Chinese food. As we drove, she read the description for U & TEA and we knew we had to go. The place is clean with plenty of room and great lighting -- and the entire establishment is food focused. Our server helped with teas and plates and we placed our orders. My girlfriend got sweet and sour chicken for her main meal. It was obvious the food was fresh and the dish had been cooked in fresh oil (and only for a short amount of time). The sauce was delicate and subtle, which allowed the flavor of the tender chicken to shine through. And what a plate! She ended up having leftovers for two days. Although I normally order seafood, I love duck and have it once or twice a year. From the menu, their duck dishes looked fantastic. Our server recommended the Peking Duck, which I had always wanted to try. That dish brought Alice Gatsch with it. She is kind and engaging and introduced how I should properly eat Peking Duck. She walked be through the steps of how to prepare the buns with scallion, cilantro, and sauce. I wish I could convey how tender the duck was and how crispy the skin had been. It was incredible and I somehow cleared my plate (and didn't eat for the rest of the day). We cannot wait to return. Alice said she'd be happy to walk me through ordering a truly traditional meal and I look forward to that experience. The staff and food are too fantastic to pass up. I highly recommend you make a visit of your own!

I found the food at New China to be mediocre to poor. When I brought my take-out food home I found that the Chow Mein had no noodles. It just had lots of sprouts and other veggies. The veggies were okay, but I ordered a noodle dish and it came with no noodles. Yikes! My son ordered Orange Chicken and it was a bit mushy and the taste was unremarkable. There was "no crunch and no tang", my son said. The only redeeming thing I found it that the food is cooked to order and is ready in 5-10 minutes while you wait. However, there is no place to sit down so you have to take the food home or to your office to eat it. But then it gets cold by then which makes the flavor even more mediocre. Only go here if you are in a rush and don't have expectations in regards to taste.
