New China — Restaurant in Virginia

This is such a pleasant surprise in a place not known for good Chinese food. We gotten takeout twice now, and have been pleased with the care taken. The dishes that should be spicy were actually spicy! Hot and sour soup that makes your lips tingle, Singapore Mei fun that is pungent with curry, and well flavored Kung pao chicken with tons of vegetables, chicken, and peanuts. I did add chili crisp to the Kung pao, because I like it very spicy. We also got shrimp egg foo young, which was also generously filled with shrimp and veg. And the bout and sour soup had so much tofu, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots that it’s almost a meal in itself! We also got crab Rangoon, which is a childhood favorite. This was nicely balanced, with (I assume) surimi and cream cheese, and nicely seasoned. Nothing was greasy, although we got several fried items. Portions were generous, and the service was friendly and efficient. What I really appreciated was that they asked if I wanted condiments. I didn’t, because I have them at home, and hate having to toss extras.

Their version of fried rice was white rice tossed with soy sauce to give color. The chicken was hard and overcooked and tasted burnt. All I wanted was your typical lunch version of chinese food and I got something that was in my opinion the furthest from chinese food I have ever had more like a bad cooking american person trying to cook chinese. If I had it to do all over again I would have opened and checked the food before paying. I would not go to this restaurant if you want your traditional...

The food was ok, but nothing so great, just your typical average quality fast-food chinese take-out place. The restaurant had no heating system on so they had use numerous electric heaters all around the dining area. The restaurant could also use a really good cleaning in the dining area as well as in the kitchen. I don't care if you're a fine dining establishment or a small chinese take-out, every restaurant should be spotless, clean and organized. To the owners: I suggest you take some information vroom my review and step up your game immediately. Today we have many options to where we can eat, so don't give your customers a reason to go elsewhere. Have a very...
