New China Restaurant - Coalinga

So rice was a big negative house rice was a house special . I'm sorry but chopping everything up into minced did not work where's the beef where's the chicken where's the pork where is the shrimp. A very fleecing of america. Was all rice and frozen peas and carrots don't eat here unless you want to get burned for your money about a $1.50 worth of food on plate do the math gross

I have been enjoying semi-asian food from New China for decades. This time, though, I could not even force myself to finish my meal. If we had not taken it as a take-out, I would have sent it back. The rice being used is short grain, and tastes like minute rice in its lack of flavor. The order was for pork fried rice. But what we got was rice with diced (possibly canned or previously frozen) carrots and peas. No celery. No onion. No pork. No cabbage. Just bare-bone rice and tiny veggies. Very disappointed. No spice or added flavor at all (that I can sense). The orange chicken is not fresh. The outside was soggy and limp. The sauce was, again, strangely devoid of much flavor. The sauce was gummy. Now I realize, anyone can have a bad day, but I ordered out because _I_ was also having a bad day, and wanted a treat. I suppose I might not be as critical if the prices had not shot up so much.

FUXS GIVEN 4.7 Food 4 For where this place is this is probably the best restaurant in town. UX 5 they play good music and have good vibes. The staff is super friendly and remember things like what you drink. Service 5 Outstanding service

Mainly posting this to share pics of most recent menu. Had lunch here recently. Service was fast with good size portions on lunch specials. Food was on the disappointing side. Rice and chow mein did not have a lot of flavor.

Do not enjoy giving two star reviews, however I visited here in a small town and thot either a gem or maybe not. Service is fast and quick, too fast it seemed to me everything is pre cooked and just warmed for serving. The won ton type of chips a lil stale. Egg rolls gave me a bad first bite, advised my partner not to eat. Soup came out tepid and not hot. Fried rice was hard and again not hot. Hard from maybe sitting too long, don't Think it was undercooked or the hardness would have been consistent thru out. Chow mein mostly cool noodles and chicken with broccoli. Again could have been hotter. Sweet and sour chicken was pre- cooked, which many places do this. And add the sauce after. They could have heated it a bit longer to make it hot and then added the sauce. However, maybe to get it out quickly, they missed here also. They do charge fee of some sort if using a credit card. Left a tip anyway. But no, I won't stop again. But this evening we needed to and it could have been a great stop. Ya just never know.
