New China Foods — Restaurant in Milpitas

This take-out (no inside seating) place is convenient and reasonable in price if you're seeking to buy a 2 to 4 items plate of pre-cooked food items behind the glass casing to take out. There's a variety of reasonably priced frozen dumplings and frozen wontons in the freezer. There are also a good selection of fresh refrigerated soy products: fresh soy milk (sweetened and unsweetened) tofu noodles, tofu sheets, fried tofu pieces, pressed tofu, fresh soft tofu for dessert, etc. This place does not rank high for their service, especially when it comes to cooked-to-order foods. While there's food cooked-to-order, the quality is inconsistent. There's a minimum purchase of $25 for credit card charges.

FOOD: Pre-cooked food behind glass casing: the quality of the food behind the glass casing is good and reasonable price for a box of 2 to 4 items.

I ordered the dishes on their menu. One was 京都排骨，one was 豆腐斑腩煲and one was from their a la cartel bento (large). Food i was say ok taste, but the 斑腩煲didn’t have fish at all. Also, the lady cashier was just giving bad service. I also bought a bag of their frozen food. At the time of check out, I told the cashier that I would like to buy a bag of frozen dumplings. So she charged and I paid. Then, she asked me to pick the food and brought to her. Then, i found out she charged me wrong amount. Then, I needed to pay back the difference in cash. I was able to pay everything in credit if she didn’t charge me wrong in the first place. They had a policy that minimum credit payment was $25. The frozen food supposed to cost $25. And she charged me $9 instead. So I needed to pay the difference of $16 in cash. If I didn’t have cash, she would need to refund $9 and charge me $25. And she even didn’t give me a receipt. What a bad experience I had. This was my first time to go there. I would not...

This place has two different offerings: 1. various soy based products (kinds of tofu, soy milk, etc.) and buns in the fridge to pick up, and 2. hot deli style food you can order to go.

The variety for 1 is amazing. Any soy based product you think of, chances are that they have it. The quality is typically good, but since they all sit in a big fridge for people to pick up, I have gotten stale products a couple times (minus 1 star for that).

For 2, the food is pre made and kept warm/cold like at a buffet, and you pick items for a meal (deli style). For items I have tried, in general they are pretty decent.

I come here pretty regularly. Since COVID they have put a low limitation on #of customers in store (2). This is for everyone's safety ( it is a small shop) and I...
