New China — Restaurant in Liberty Township

This was, undoubtedly, the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Truthfully, it's some of the hands down worst food in general that I've ever had.

My family moved to the area last year and we've been trying new places just to get a grasp on the local food scene. We've found a few good spots, but this place is far from one of them. Nothing we ordered was good. This is not hyperbole, top to bottom the meal was a zero star experience.

Their "tsols" chicken (General Tsos) does use okay chicken as it's base, but the sauce is 100% cheap bottled/canned sweet and sour sauce with what tastes like Louisiana hot sauce or straight cayenne mixed into it. The Egg Drop and Wonton Soups were sweeter than some candy, which is wild. I've never had a sweet soup before now, and it was vile. The wontons are stuffed with ground beef. It's literally ground beef. Never before have I seen that used as a wonton filling. Somehow, even though it was in a soup, the ground beef was still dry and spongey. The steamed dumplings were also very sweet, and the consistency of the meat and other filling was grainy. The crab rangoons were filled with seemingly unflavored cream cheese that was weirdly chunky and dry, not smooth like it should be. The Sesame Seed Chicken not only had zero sesame seeds in or on it, but the sauce seemed to be brown gravy with some of the bottled/canned sweet and sour sauce barely mixed in. The two sauce colors were visibly distinct, and it tasted like cherry cough medicine. The fried rice was so dry to the point of tasting stale. The lo mein noodles were entirely unseasoned, overcooked (ie, gummy and swollen), and, once again, weirdly sweet. The egg rolls, advertised as "beef and peanut butter", had neither of those things in it. They were vegetarian. The ONLY good things in our order were the hot mustard packets, soy sauce packets, and napkins. At least we'll have those on hand to use for other meals and messes.

We didn't eat probably 95% of our food. Our dinner for five people came to $71 before tip. It took over half an hour longer than they told us for them to finish our order. Done by 5:05pm? More like 5:38pm. We stood in the lobby for around 45 minutes total, having entered the shop slightly early. We had been sitting in our car outside waiting for the food because they said it would only take 20 to 25 minutes, which turned out to actually be a whisper shy of an hour.

To reiterate, this was the absolute worst take out experience of my life. If you're considering eating here, make sure you've got a sweet tooth, because regardless of what you order, the first ingredient seems to be sugar. If it were possible to give negative stars for food quality as part of this review, I'd go as low as it allowed me.

I tried contacting them about a refund but they were having trouble understanding what I was saying, and vice versa. I finally just had to give up.

Avoid this place, friends. You're better off...

Lovely small locally owned restaurant. The egg rolls were large and delicious for less than $2 a piece. A great deal and must order. I had wonton soup which was also a generous portion with large wontons. Very tasty soup! At this point I was so full I knew I wouldn't finish my lunch order beef lo mein. The Lo Mein was a large plate with noodles cooked perfectly. I would like to have had more beef in the dish but this is a small issue and not a deal breaker. I had hot tea to drink. Comes only by the cup and no tea pot. But they refill your cup constantly so mine was never empty. Enjoyed a conversation with the owners and was very pleased...

The woman is always very nice! I ordered Crab Rangoon's because I love them and these were literally wontons full of mashed potatoes.... No cream cheese no crab... Just mashed potatoes fried in wontons. I also ordered shrimp lo mein and it was shrimp lo mein but the normal noodles were switched for ramen noodles.... Everything else was perfect and very tasty! But these two things were definitely a disappointment when you spend almost $50... She did give us a bag of free fortune cookies too. I wish they wouldn't label them as crab rangoon when they are indeed only mashed potatoes and lo mein is ramen with lo...
