" We had a small family gathering at New China last week, and while we had hoped for a good meal, we left feeling disappointed. The fried rice lacked flavor, the chicken was dry, and the wontons tasted old. The service was just okay; no one checked in on us after our meals were served. The atmosphere was nothing special, and we felt like we could have gotten better food anywhere else. I think I’ll steer clear of this restaurant in the future. They need serious improvements.

" Interesting how opinions about New China have changed over the years. I've been coming here since childhood and have a fond attachment. Unfortunately, the latest quality has left me hanging by a thread. The hot and sour soup was indeed more sour than hot, while the fried rice was bland. My family and I used to enjoy the egg rolls, but this time they were over-fried and tough. It seems like they’ve opted for cheap over quality, and it reflects poorly. I wish I could support them again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight was my first time at New China after hearing some mixed reviews from friends. My experience was absurdly underwhelming. The egg rolls were soggy and didn’t have the crunch I expected—very disheartening indeed. My Beijing beef was unremarkable and lacked a signature taste. Although the service was friendly, it felt like they were trying to cover for the food quality by being overly attentive. I probably won’t come back; I didn't get my money's worth. The foam plates were also not the best touch for the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" There was once a time when New China was a family favorite of ours! However, my last two visits have made me question if I’ll ever return. The food quality has plummeted, and the freshness of ingredients is a far cry from what it used to be. The crab rangoons were filled with air and tasted greasy. The service was just okay, and it didn't help to compensate for the lousy meal we had. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love New China, but after my last visit, I don't think I'll be coming back. The food is just not what it used to be. The shrimp fried rice was subpar—mostly rice and hardly any shrimp. The service was decent, but it didn’t make up for the lack of flavor in my meal. I glanced over at the table next to me—clearly they were having just as rough a time. It seems that they have lost their way regarding authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been eating at New China for about two years now, and while I initially enjoyed it, I feel like the quality has significantly decreased over time. The food is still edible, but it just lacks the flavor that used to draw me in. Also, I noticed the servings seem smaller than they used to be—especially the fried rice, which was also bland. I guess I’ll keep searching for a better Chinese restaurant in the area, which is a shame because I want to support local places. Service remains level, but it isn't enough to compensate for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today I decided to try New China once more, hoping for a better experience. I was greeted by a friendly face at the counter, which was promising, but things went downhill from there. My order took far longer than I anticipated, and I was left disappointed when I finally received my meal. The fried rice wasn't fried at all—it was plain white rice with some soy sauce slapped on it. The chicken in my dish was overcooked and dry. This restaurant has seen better days, and I don’t plan to return. " (*Curated Review*)
