New China Chef

Went in for a lunch special, and for $ 6, I have enough leftover for dinner too! Now THAT is a happy ending!

Ick. First time there and last time there. Small cashew chicken was a box of zucchini. When I called in the order I asked the ingredients and the woman did not even mention zucchini. Stay away… not good!!!

Good, fast, cheap. That pretty much sums up this place. As other reviews have noted, it’s pretty standard Chinese food. So ordinarily, I’d give it an average rating of 3 stars. However, the prices are cheaper than other Chinese places and the portions are larger. The first time I ordered lunch there, I couldn’t believe how much food they gave me and how the carryout bag felt heavier than usual. I thought it was a mistake or it was because I was a first time customer. But nope, that’s just normal for them and for this reason, I gave them 1 extra star. FYI, this place is the same as King’s Kitchen, so you will see this same review there too.

The only thing that this place has going for it is that it is close to home. We get their appetizer sampler, pot stickers, and teriyaki chicken about once a month. It is just below average at best. If there was somewhere else closer, we’d never get carry out from here. Yet, nothing horrible has kept us from coming back. We have tried some of the entrées and they were ok; but again, nothing special.

Never try dine-​in. This place has become my regular delivery chinese food. Never have problems or delay. I’m Chinese and the Chinese food is good for what it is. I wouldn’t order the Thai food bc I’ve tried them and it tastes like Chinese style.

About what you’d expect from a typical Chinese restaurant, really good portions super fast hot delivery and very tasty food, i tried the general chicken lunch special, very yummy, the min. delivery order is 10 dollars which is the lowest i found in the area. i would recommend it to a friend.

Don’t come here if you’re expecting the best Chinese food in the North suburbs. But if you’re hungry at lunchtime and only have 6 bucks to spend, this place will do more than suffice.
My friend told me I wouldn’t be able to finish the lunch special. With my pride hurt by the lack of faith in my stomach’s capacity, I took on the challenge of finishing the lunch special. I finished it with room to spare but I must admit, it was the most food I’ve ever seen in a Chinese lunch special. I don’t know if I’ll be back again, but for those who have larger than average stomachs, it’s worth a shot at lunch.

There’s nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
I received a mailer this weekend and when the wife asked if I wanted Chinese for dinner, I figured we’d give this place a try — rather than go with the old standbys. Tonight’s lesson: go with the old standbys.
The satay (peanut) chicken was unlike any I’d ever had… and tasted nothing like peanuts. Or, honestly, chicken. The lo mein had noodles that appeared to have been cooked in several different ways. Some were steamed or boiled, some were pan fried, some were… I’m not sure what. And everything tasted like nothing.
There are far better Chinese places and, though fewer, there are also far better Thai places. Suffice it to say, I will not be returning to New China Chef.
