New China — Restaurant in Parkersburg

Wonton soup was less than average in flavor. The meat stuffed dumplings were tough and chewy. To add to my disappointment, the 2 bags of hard noodles that come with quart size soup were not as expected. Each bag had about 15 crunchy noodles - not the normal overstuffed bag of noodles we have come to expect with wonton soup. I ate a few bites of my soup then threw nearly the whole quart of wonton soup in the trash. Then to top it off, my fortune cookie was an empty shell - nothing inside to reveal my fortune. Service was rated for higher because it was fast and unexpectedly brought it to me while I was waiting in the car. It was my first visit to New China restaurant so I have no menu items to recommend. I will likely not eat here again. Note: the overall score at a glance when I posted my ratings was significantly higher than I would have expected when I rated food -2 stars; service -4 stars; atmosphere 3-stars. Now I see how ratings can be misleading...

This has been one of the only take-out experiences I’ve had where I’ve hated literally everything. For reference, I ordered:

The Pu Pu Platter Mongolian Beef

The Pu Pu platter was extremely disappointing (some mediocre egg rolls, 4 extremely dry skewers, 2 fried dumplings with absolutely zero filling, 2 fried shrimp, and some mozzarella sticks for some reason). Most of this went into the garbage.

The Mongolian Beef was also pretty disgusting to be honest. It was that cheaper tasting type of beef you’ll often find at Mall food courts as opposed to any sort of quality beef. The sauce was just weird and totally unlike any sort of Mongolian beef I’ve ever had/made. The worst part though was the rice, never have I ever had rice that actually made me GAG just from the smell. It smelled as if the rice had been cooked in water taken straight from a recently used toilet. I didn’t eat it obviously.

My expectations were low and I was still...

So, i ordered for my mom, dad, daughter and i ...pork fried rice, chicken lo mein, cream cheese wontons, sweet and sour chicken and beef w/ broccoli. They gave us the cream cheese wontons, vegetable lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, and general tso's. Which we paid for all those things. Then THEY CALLED to tell me they didnt give us the right order with the chicken and broccoli or the pork fried rice, and the lo mein was supposed to be chicken, not vegetable; they had gotten the order wrong. Then, they made us pay for all those things too before they gave them to us. So we had to pay for an unnecessary general tso's & vegetable lo mein. Even after my dad picked up the incorrect order, they called me and told me the order was wrong and to have him come back and pick up the correct order. Then they charged him for all of it, like 7 meals lol, these people...
