New China

This is the first time I have eaten from this particular place. I ordered for delivery and the guy who answered the phone was very short with me. I got my food from the nice delivery lady. They give you good sized portions. I got a half order of crab Rangoon which was not good, it wasn’t sweet at all and had little to no crab and tasted like old grease. I got a order of fried dumplings and I had to spit them out it was so gross. I also got a combination plate of mixed vegetables with Szechuan sauce, fried rice and an egg roll. I loved the mixed vegetables and the fried rice wasn’t to bad. But the egg roll was really good. Overall I won’t seek this place out for my Chinese fix but in a pinch it will do. The free delivery really helps them in my opinion.

Great authentic Chinese food. I love to see the whole family working as a team to make this a friendly family-​owned business. Always a smile and a thank you at New China.
Okay, so it’s not gourmet, but it’s as good as it gets for Bethalto, and you will not go away hungry. The speediness and portion sizes make up for any shortcomings.
I like the Cashew Chicken & Szechuan Beef. My daughter enjoys the Lo Mein noodles and Wonton Soup. The crab rangoon is very sweet and yummy. We usually order those along with some egg rolls. The egg rolls are large so 1 per person is about right.
Delivery is also available and they guys are always friendly and respectful. They also take checks (from regulars) which is nice because I don’t always have cash on me.
Call New China today. «New China. May I help you?» Yes. Yes you may. :)

This was very below average Chinese food in my opinion. Edible but will not return. General tso chicken was way to sweet, the pork fried rice was a strange bright yellow color that I did not quite understand and the crab Rangoon were lacking any sign of crab and we’re the really sweet kind I do not prefer. Will not go back. I really wanted it to be good as there is no asian food in the area that I have found to be to my taste.

Portions are above average but when your not interested in finishing it in the first place that really doesn’t matter. This is classic strip mall fare. Had much better and would not recommend

Great food. This place has the beat crab rangoon around. Also they have very fast delivery. I live a 20 minute drive away in woodriver and i had my food in less than 45 min. Also the workers are very polite. They always answer the phone with «new china, may i help you?»

Best in the Alton/​Woodriver/​Bethalto area… I’ve tried most of the Chinese places around here and always come back to New China.
The food is always good, we have a ‘standard’ order, but have tried a large bit of the menu now.
We probably order there 2 – 3 times a month, when we get home too late to cook… they are super friendly, and the lady who generally answers the phone (one of the owners I think) has a fantastic memory… she knows our favorite order better than I do and can rattle it off for me.
Plenty of food for the money, always prepared well, fast delivery and always good tasting!

Good food!

I love this place! We order about once every 2 weeks or so. Their delivery is fast and they remember us when we call in! Which may be sad for us lol, but really impressive on their part. Super nice and the food is incredible. I’ve had chinese at many places and this is the best by far. Huge portions and always hot.

Popular place for locals. This is the chinese place that everyone goes to for the best crab ragoon and hefty portions! I sometimes can have leftovers for 2 more meals! Seriously, the CEO’s and executives of my previous employment would take clients here because new china’s just the best chinese food in the area. So if you’re around, do yourself a favor…:licks lips: yum.

Portions are HUGE! You can have Chinese for days! The Crab Ragoon is Delish! And their fried rice is almost the best I have ever had! If you have a hankerin for Chinese try them out.
