New China Restaurant — Restaurant in Cullman

Cutting to the chase with highest recommendations: Moo shoo pork, bourbon chicken, hot & spicy shrimp, egg foo yong, and shrimp/beef/chicken/pork with garlic sauce, and the wontons with garlic sauce.

I have eaten literally every item at this place, including the chicken nuggets. When I was in high school, there was a restaurant in Tarrant that I would frequently visit and I had a copy of their menu that I would strike through, and get a different thing each time. I wanted to try doing that again, and finish off the menu of a Chinese place, so after I tried the sesame chicken there and figured it is a place that does things right (see below), Nothing that I have gotten here is bad, except the chicken nuggets (please don't go to a Chinese restaurant for chicken nuggets) and the two tofu dishes. The steamed health dishes were a lot better than I expected, having never gotten one before.

I have a standard for Chinese restaurants: if they don't do sesame chicken right, they won't do the rest right, so if I go to a place I may go to more than once, I will get sesame chicken first. There's two kinds, the syrupy gross kind, and the good kind. New China has the good kind. (One exception is Ming's Garden in Gardendale. They have terrible sesame chicken but great Mongolian beef).

By the way, there's a dish called Dragon & Phoenix that is a mix of General Tso Chicken and Hot & Spicy Shrimp in the same plate. Get one or the other, and don't get that dish, because the shrimp's sauce is thinner than chicken's sauce and will make it taste weird and watered down. Obviously I recommend the latter dish more or else I wouldn't have put...

I stopped by New China on Sunday in Cullman after a closing in the area, and I’m so glad I did! The food was hot, fresh, and quick. I ordered General Tso’s chicken with white rice. My daughter got sesame chicken, and we shared the crab rangoon (crab angles on the menu)—and let me tell you, the crab rangoon was the best I’ve ever had! The sauce that came with it was also hot and fresh, not cold like a lot of places serve it. Thats how I determine if I will return a second time. The gentleman who helped me was friendly and answered all my questions in great detail, which made me feel really welcomed and allowed me to make a decision on what I would like. He even offered to customize the dish for me. I wanted something sweet & spicy. I’m not the biggest Chinese food person, but this was honestly so delicious. My other daughter and boyfriend tried the leftovers when I got back to Madison and have planned a date night in cullman to have more! A 10 out of 10! I can’t wait to go back, and this will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I’m in Cullman....

I write this in the moments before sunrise in the hopes the owners see this and check the dates and temps on everything they send out from now on. Or maybe warn some people away from how I'm feeling now. The only thing I ate yesterday was from here. Picked up order around 7pm everything tasted good honestly but I was woken up violently @4am with both ends screaming red. I had coconut shrimp my bf had another shrimp dish, we both had 2 egg rolls and he's fine. So it was either the sweet and sour sauce or the ragoons "wtv angel thing they call them" that was the main difference in our food. Sauces (specifically sweet &sour and the coconut shrimp sauce).... he doesn't do sauce really but I do and now I'm sick as a dog. Or the ragoons idk but I wish I'd have chosen rice & soy, on the other side of town, like I normally do never been sick after...
