New China Cafe - Denver

Came in on a Friday night, was very busy which I took as a good sign. Service was EXTREMELY friendly, so damn nice. The lady who took my order was patient and courteous. Even made small talk while they were clearly v busy. Food took about 15-20 min, faster than I thought. And gentlemen even helped me to my car bc of how many bags I had and was soooo gentle with everything so that there were no spills. The food itself, was ok. As a New Yorker living here a few years I was really excited from the reviews, but the flavors were off. The sesame chicken was more sweet like honey with no sesame to be found. Chicken was very juicy though. Same for the general, I’m used to a dark soy based spicy sauce and it was again sweet and slightly more savory. Still very juicy though. The pork lo mein was yummy but wished there was more veggies. That rice is NOT fried rice. That is white rice that someone sprinkled some soy sauce on ever so gently and then mixed. Bland and no veggies. The marinated wings were good too, but they are pan fried not deep fried so they are not crispy, just an FYI All in all I enjoyed my food though it wasn’t was I expected

You know the food is going to be good by the line in front of the business. Don't let that scare you, though cause they are fast. The food is outstanding, folks. New china is definitely a must try...we will be back.

I have been coming to this place for 30 yrs and hands down the best take out. I had to move across town and nothing compares and came back and was just as good as it used to be!

This whole in the wall spot has been our go-to for quick, Americanized Chinese food for years. They have great prices and the food is always made fresh.

Delicious as my kids and Wife would say! Love all the basics and they do them very well here!
