New China Kitchen — Restaurant in Cambridge

I ordered a combination plate, extra egg roll (because I heard those were delicious) and Beef Ho Feng and I have to say I was extremely disappointed. The combination plate of Chicken fried rice, chicken wings (4) and General Tso’s chicken was okay. The sauce used on the General Tso’s chicken was oddly tangy and sweet and not spicy at all. The rice was also this odd yellow/orange colour that I haven’t seen before in other fried rice dishes I’ve had. The wings were fine, just wish there were more than 4 pieces. I’ve definitely had better, but again it was alright.

The real disappointment however was the Beef Ho Feng. Completely dissatisfied with this dish. I have ordered it many times before from other restaurants and it’s supposed to come with extra wide flat rice noodles. But what I got instead was similar in appearance to linguine instead of pappardelle. The beef was tender, and the sauce used was alright I guess but definitely lacking in depth of flavour, but the noodles completely ruined the dish for me. I even double checked my receipt to make sure they gave me the right dish and it definitely said Beef Ho Feng.

When I reheated leftovers in a wok the next day, the noodles just disintegrated into tiny little pieces and mush. Visually it was really unappetizing. This never happened with other Beef Ho Feng or Beef Pad See Ew I’ve reheated. Sure the wider noodles would break up a little but never this bad and never turn into mush. It just wasn’t good.

The only saving grace here were the egg rolls. It was very tasty, probably one of the better ones I’ve eaten from anywhere. I’d say it’s on par with George’s, or what I remember George’s egg rolls to be like, as I haven’t eaten there in a long time. But I remember the egg rolls being amazing and these were just as good or even better. I ordered two and one was quite oily, but still tasty. I would definitely get the egg rolls again and order...

Okay so too be flat out honest I've ordered from here 2 times . When it comes to Chinese food I don't usually live on the Wild Side I usually get the same dish which would be something like noodle rice chicken either chicken bowl or like a lemon chicken. First time we went I really like that everything was spot-on so we went back few days later to be totally disappointed they messed up our order they went back they fixed it no questions asked but it still didn't make me any happier. Chicken was cooked butt breading around it was super soggy and slimy I don't know what was up that day maybe it was a different cook but it turned me right off unfortunately as it's really close to my house. I'm sure that I'll have a third visit there but probably not...

The food here is good.. nothing crazy.. but what sets them apart from anyother place is how RUDE they are. You spend a bunch of money and they treat you like they are doing you a favor by serving you.. i watched them serve about 12 people, not thank them, literally throw their bags of food on the counter and walk away. I refuse to spend my money at an establishment and help them put food on their table if a simple thank you for spending $200 isnt an obvious gesture. Id rather drive 30 minutes then go 5 minutes down the road which is pretty sad. Learn a thing or two about customer service and be grateful the community hasnt written this...
