They've sealed off most of their tables, leaving only two for dine-in, but it's mostly takeout anyway. Beef Teriyaki: Small order yielded three sticks, each with very thin, slightly charred beef. Overly strong salty soy flavor and a texture that summons the adage that there's a very fine line between moist and slimy. But at least not dry and not tough. Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a combo): Thin fingers, less-than-crisp corndog style batter, and low meat-to-batter ratio. Small cup of thin red sweet sauce (no sour) on the side. No fruit. Egg Roll (on the combo): Hot and crisp, but cabbage style with minimal pork and minimal flavor. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo): Nice color, but Rice-a Roni flavor and dry, crunchy texture. Fried rice isn't supposed to be crunchy. Probably a reheat. Well, Hong Kong Island? See you in another 10 years. Maybe.

The multiple times I've ordered over the last couple of months they have always produced my food on time, with what I considered to be a reasonable price. So I would say service is great. The food is some of the better fast Chinese in the area. I have no complaints at all. It didn't blow me away, but it was really good and their eggrolls are far better than the eggroll lady.

We ordered delivery from New China Lantern a few days ago. It's a pretty standard chinese delivery…read moreplace. I ordered the customary spring roll and scallion pancake appetizers. On first glance, the scallion pancakes look a bit floppy, lacking the appealing crispness. They were a bit more greasy than usual but nothing that interfered with their ability to mop up sauce or overall enjoyment. The spring rolls were disappointing in size, especially considering they only come in pairs. They were appropriately crunchy and had the usual fillings. They didn't try to sneak in any shrimp or pork or anything, and left that to the egg rolls. My fellow vegetarians: do not fear, they have an impressive vegetarian menu. I was intrigued by both the mapo and kung pao tofu but ultimately the sesame tofu called my name louder than the others. I was expecting an entree with veggies and shit mixed in but no, I guess you only get vegetables OR tofu but not both. The sesame tofu is essentially a hunk of tofu cubes absolutely doused in a delicious and sweet sauce, topped with sesame seeds. This was very enjoyable and thankfully, not too greasy. I am obsessed with string beans so I couldn't pass by the stir fried string beans without adding an order to my cart. The saltiness of this dish contrasted nicely with the sweet sesame tofu. I knew my GF wouldn't be happy if I didn't order at least lo mein OR fried rice. I was in a noodle mood so threw in an order of their vegetable lo mein. This was pretty standard albeit more flavorful than some places that somehow manage to fuck up vegetable lo mein. This was a good order and I would get this again next time. I was satisfied with New China Lantern and it deserves a spot on your Chinese delivery rotation.

The portions here are bigger than most places ... that seems to be why a lot of people are leaving…read moresuch high reviews. In Central Massachusetts, getting more of a mediocre thing is seen as being better than getting less of a great thing. Because this food is no better than your average mall's food court Chinese food. It's average, at best. But there are heaping servings of average. Let me start out by saying that Americanized Chinese food is my favorite food on the planet. I've eaten at the finest restaurants in the world ... and if I had to choose one thing to eat forever, it would be Chinese food. So, let's just say I've had Chinese at just about every restaurant in MA. Los Angeles has notoriously terrible 'junk food' Chinese food. There's none worth wasting the calories on there. China Lantern is bland, boxed, fried and reheated stuff ... very little taste other than the sugar. The crab rangoon were the worst I've ever had. It tastes like a smudge of cream cheese, a scoop of sugar, no crab and fried between giant dough. So disappointing ... crab rangoon are my spirit animal. The General Tso's Chicken tasted like it was fried, frozen and re-fried. Crunchy ... very little chicken to bread ratio and the sauce was little more than sugary syrup. I tasted no garlic, ginger or orange peel. One-note and blah. The fried rice ... I knew when I saw the yellow color that I was in trouble. We all know the really good fried rice is brown. It tasted like the bags of Goya yellow rice you mix with water. Hardly any pork or egg and certainly not made fresh. Even after 3 packets of soy sauce, it was still bland. Instead of freshly made duck sauce, you get the generic packets. No hot mustard. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. Yong Shing is about the best Chinese I've found in the Central MA area, even though the quality has gone down hill quite a bit there, it's still 4 out of 5. Chum Lee's in Shrewsbury would also be a 4 of 5. When you get out into the North Shore ... Jade East in Tewksbury, the Billerica/Chelmsford places or The Kow Loon on Route One, you are really talking 5 star 'junk food Chinese'. If you want a mountain of average food ... this is a good spot for you. If you want the best tasting Chinese, go elsewhere. Chinese food is hard to get wrong ... so this disappoints me greatly.

The food is just barely okay, but I'd say adequate for a quick takeout situation. -- Egg Roll: Crisp, cabbagey, with lesser bits of celery. Surprisingly pink inside, but not sweet. Seasoned in a traditional way, but subdued. -- General Gao's Chicken: Big chunks, briefly crispy, sweet with no counterbalance, and a bit of extra sauce to lend the rice a hand. -- Pork Fried Rice: Bits of pork and only minimal flavor, but at least it was fresh. Bland and hot beats bland and tepid. A good amount of food for a decent price. No rival for better sit-down joints, but I'll take this place over the fast food chains, and it'll be a better value.

I ordered a combo of white rice, chicken wings (which are the largest chicken wings I've ever seen, beef teriyaki which were also large, boneless ribs (way over cooked and dried out) and an egg roll for my appetizer (part of the combo). My Coke (in a bottle) was even flat! There was a kid behind the counter (school holiday in honor of Veteran's Day), he was really rushing me to make a decision but I think mostly out of boredom. I read previous reviews about him and didn't experience what others wrote (at least not that I noticed or heard). I won't go back.
