New China Restaurant — Restaurant in Temple Terrace

It's my first time visiting this restaurant and it will be my last. I ordered the vegetable Lo Mien and it tasted like pure grease and cooking oil. It tasted so bad that I wasn't able to eat anything else the rest of the night. I tried calling the restaurant to see what they could do, but they wouldn't even answer the phone.

I will never visit this place again. I highly recommend that if you're in the mood for Chinese food then I'd suggest that you look elsewhere.

Update:

I managed to get ahold of the staff the next morning to inform them about my experience as well as returning the food in question.

When I told the owner about my experience she became angry at me for the fact that I wanted my money back for their mistake and after she gave me my money back after arguing with me about how bad the food was she started to curse at me in Mandarin, which I can understand, but she didn't know that.

I was told in no uncertain terms not to return to their restaurant, which I have no intention of doing even before I returned the food back.

This is the worst experience I have ever experienced anywhere and I've been to locations where the staff believed that they were doing you a favor for serving food. And that's saying something.

However considering that it was around 11 am and there was no one around was most likely why she felt that she could say those things.

I highly recommend that you DO...

Very pleased with everything

I don't usually eat out, but I'm glad I went to New China Restaurant. This was my first time and I was very pleased with everything. Whenever I try a Chinese Restaurant for the first time I always get the Singapore Mei Fun (aka Singapore Chow Mei Fun). This kind of gives me an idea if I'm going to like the restaurant's style. And, I loved the Singapore Chow Mei Fun here. It was delicious and flavorful and a tiny bit spicy.

Other things I was pleased with, they don't use styrofoam and there is a walk-up window. The food came out in exactly the time I was quoted and it was nice and hot!

I'm looking forward to going back or...

Just ventured out of quarantine for a restaurant meal for my first time since the precovid era. Love this place. The people there are lovely, the food is tasty. The preparation was perfect. I called first. Dinner was ready as soon as I arrived. They've set up a smart no contact pick up window. I'm eating my homestyle bean curd with veggies and a side of veggie lo mein and suddenly social distancing doesn't seem so bad.

Tofu, broccoli, peppers, noodles, carrots, I rate this delicious Asian food as being five kinds...
