New China — Restaurant in Pittsfield Charter Township

We had just done a big Wal-Mart trip and were too exhausted to actually prepare the food we just made, so we decided to be lazy. We saw this convenient Chinese option and took it, honestly not expecting much. This place had me shocked in the best ways possible! For what you pay, the portions are huge. We got the bourbon chicken and the lemon chicken and both filled up the container until it was about busting through. And don't think they skimped on flavor either, they were both delicious. The steamed rice wasn't prepared yet so they offered me fried and I happily accepted! Nothing was too salty or too sweet.

The employees seemed to want to make sure I was happy with my order and I appreciated that. They are very covid-safe and extremely clean! You can see right through the whole kitchen when you go in to the counter to pay and get your food. I cannot tell you how impressed I was at how clean and organized everything looked, these people take pride in what they do and it shows. We just moved here from New Orleans so we sort of pride ourselves on knowing good food and this is the perfect place to get your classic American Chinese food. We will happily return to New China and recommend you...

Two young boys ( under 16) were manning the register. They were both reading and we had to get their attention. We ordered and sat down. The younger one started picking his nose. I didn't say anything because he wasn't touching our food. We get the food and its awful. The kung pao that my mom ordered was ok but the general tso's chicken I ordered was missing a key ingredient: the chicken! It was like I was eating deep fried breading. Hard and crunchy. Yuck! My fried dumplings were nothing special. In fact, I'm sure I've had the same kind from the store, in a bag from the freezer. As we're eating, the nose picker moves to sit at the empty table next to us where he continues to read his book and pick his nose. When we were finished, after I choked down my crispy "chicken", I walked up too the counter and had to get the other boy's attention again, so that he could get us go to boxes, with his hopefully booger-free hands. I will never eat...

Update: my last review I gave 4 stars because the quality of the meats is not great. Tonight we ordered beef and broccoli, and general's chicken. Unfortunately, neither was edible. The chicken was cooked so long that it ended up being more like jerky, but not in a good way, and the beef was so tough it was nearly impossible to chew it enough to break it down. On the other hand, the shrimp fried rice had tons of perfectly tender shrimp. It's hit and miss. I wish they would use higher quality meats and not overcook them.

Original review: They are taking Covid very seriously! Absolutely zero contact between employees and customers. Very good prices and generous portions. The food is more 4 star than five but the speedy service helps bring...
