The food is delicious. The staff is friendly. Great place. Very clean. Lots of parking.

Ugh I wanted to enjoy this meal... I almost broke a tooth on the egg roll, the pad Thai was swimming in too much unknown liquid and the egg foo young had absolutely no flavor. Never again read more

Best Chinese food restaurant in Salem, NH. Great food, not what you find in 99% of the other places. Yes, you can get it, but most of the food is prepared when ordered. And brought out when ready. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I've noticed in the evenings they tend to get very busy and food comes out slower, but that's expected. It's well worth it. Go! read more

Do NOT come here if you want fast sushi service! Sushi is good but SLOOOW!! We came at 6 o'clock on a Friday night. Place was fairly busy. Every other party ordered fried food and was served before us and left after us. We've been sitting here for an HOUR and 40 MINUTES and ordered eight rolls and each roll has come out singularly by itself. Two people still haven't eaten yet!!! ONE HOUR 40 MINUTES!!!! Each person had to eat alone and we couldn't eat together as a family. One roll every 20 minutes. Very understaffed for a sushi restaurant. I can't even imagine how much longer we would've had to wait if anybody else in this restaurant ordered sushi!! read more

Food was terrible. We use to go there all the time until I got sick. Now that I am better we ordered, it was worse thing ever. Ask for extra hot sauce only got 1, soy sauce 1 packet. Ordered chicken chow mein small dry noodles for 1 person. Since when did that stop doing rice with a pupu platter for 2. So 56 dollars later we has appetizers. WILL NOT BE Going back read more

Food was just ok. I've had better/I've had worse. Not impressed at all. Will continue my search for better Chinese food in the area.

Everything. Not sure what happened here. It used to be their food was fresh, good, and plentiful. It was always our fav Chinese restaurant to go to. Last night we went looking forward to it, and it was terrible. We got a pu pu platter. Chicken wings were so dry they weren't edible. The crab ragoon literally has less than 1/4 cream cheese in the casing and was greasy. The shrimp and chicken fingers shrunk by 3/4 the normal size. The pork fried rice had old dried out rice, a couple of pieces of pork fat, no egg, hardly any peas. The chicken stick was also too dried out to eat. Not sure if they got a new cook? If so, fire them immediately. My guess is they got greedy and cheated out on quality. We won't be back. Way to kill your own business. read more

Disappointed. Crispy Orange Beef, Meh. Chicken wings, Ok. BBQ Ribs, not edible, worst I ever had.

Food, Service, excellent!! Ambiance maybe 4 but not really important at least to not stop from going there! Actually quiet, cozy during the day (have not been there during the nighttime). In a small strip mall off Rt 28, Salem NH (across from a Dunkin' Donuts shop. read more

Absolutely livid! Placed our order with the New Chief Wok in Salem NH on Sunday for a 6:15pm pickup. Two hours later STILL no food. We've lost our entire night waiting and I'm done. Now we have no dinner and everywhere else is either closed or it's way too late to order anything. Called the bank and disputed the charge. I have been getting food from them for decades and the previous owner, Sherry, who was about as wonderful as they come would NEVER have let this happen. If you can't cover the orders you are taking DON'T take them. Shut it off once you have reached capacity. Never going back. read more

They were closed for a while during COVID but recently reopened. VERY happy about that. I hate to review / give feedback during a pandemic however they did a great job. Ordering online through their website was very easy ( beyond menu) and pickup was super easy. The food was fresh and delish and no waiting in long lines. Thank you! read more

Stopped by for dinner with family on a Sunday night. Almost walked out after 10 minutes of sitting at the table and being ignored. Eventually got to order food from a very cranky server. Should have walked out. My dinner was forgotten which is probably for the best because the rest of the food that came out was terrible, greasy and bitter. Sushi tasted stale. Service was atrocious and we were treated like an inconvenience for no apparent reason. Will never be back and will never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Most versatile chinese and japanese cuisine in Salem. Staff is always friendly and commited to ensuring quality in every single interaction you have. I have never been let down by the quality and execution of New Chief Wok, and I will be going there for as long as I possibly can. Highly recommend the gyoza, chow foon, chicken pineapple fried rice and the alaska roll. read more

The food and drinks are mezza mezza at best but bar service is dependent on the bartenders mood. Rude, condescending and unnecessary. I left my usual 20% tip and 10 years of patronage, never to return. Looking at the other reviews rudeness seems to be the theme at this establishment. Better alternatives close by. Try Yang Ming (less than 5 minutes away) similar menu & drinks. A welcoming staff without the poor attitude... read more

Takeout order on a Friday night, ordered a pu pu platter, rice chow mein and lo mein. Super busy but that's ok...to be expected at this time. Staff super nice. Full disclosure... I grew up on the north shore of Boston and my baseline is the old Kowloon so I do have high standards. Kowloon is not so great the last few years and this restaurant is probably similar. Pu pu platter: -crab Rangoon was good -chicken teriyaki very good -beef teriyaki good -shrimp & chicken fingers not good, mostly dough, left a lot to be desired -chicken wings were good, would have been much better if broken into 2 pieces Chow mein: -Large pieces of undercooked veggies - hard noodles greasy Lo mein-garlic -very good but super oily Fried Rice - average Duck sauce - too much applesauce read more

great hot and sour soup! also happy hour drinks and food discounts - small cozy place - very friendly bar staff !!

Avoid this place, I am happy I didn't get sick after biting into undercooked chickeb.

Always good food Jenny , the owner, always smiling and accommodating. We have been coming here a long time. We have never been disappointed. The house rice is amazing and if you into sushi it is delicious. They have a bar area where the locals hang out, This place is kinda like cheers where everyone knows your name. read more

New Chief Wok Restaurant - christmas decorations - Chinese Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

See all

Used to come here when previous owner had it. I hope the new owners kept the previous owners phone number: they need to learn how this simple business is run properly. The food is almost inedible. It's horrible. Fried rice had no vegetable in it and had an awful taste. Won't be going back for sure. read more

Best around area when it comes to chinese. Owner very friendly, staff is great and food always tasty. Try their sushi!! Thx!! read more

Great food and friendly servers! It was our first and only time at the restaurant. We were in town for a family wedding. I wish were could pack and send the food to Texas! read more

We have used this restaurant for 2 years now. Good consistent food and the fried rice is one of the meat around.

We like the New Chief Wok, prices have gone up but they are consistently good. The staff is friendly.

This used to be the "Go to" spot for Chinese in the area and we ate there for several years. I've been a few times since Sherry sold to the new owners and the food is not the same by any standards. Beef teriyaki had good flavor, but was very tough (and was $11.50 for 5 pieces). The last time time we ordered from there, the food was good, but nothing outstanding. Quality and quantity have gone downhill. read more

We just had dinner here tonight. We were seated at a booth in the very casual and clean dining room across from the buffet area (Lunch Buffet offered 6 days a week). There's also a cocktail lounge with big TVs in the back. Free WiFi offered to customers. The waiter brought out complementary tea and water and we started out with a flaming PuPu Platter ($14.95), 2 of each: egg rolls, chicken wings, golden chicken fingers, BBQ spareribs, beef teriyakis, chicken teriyakis, crab rangoons, & spring rolls, came out very hot. The food was pretty tasty,. but very greasy, especially the egg rolls with oil insde. For dinner, we had Pan Fried Noodles ($11.95) and the Sizzling Seafood Platter ($13.95) and ordered a large white rice (add $2). The Pan Fried Noodles was decent and had shrimp, chicken, beef, & vegetables with a brown sauce over firm lomein noodles (we're used to having the thin noodles for this dish). The Sizzling Seafood Platter was okay and a bit on bland side and had lots of vegetables (broccoli, baby corn, snow peas) with a modest amount of shrimp, sliced scallops, and imitation crabmeat. The service was decent with a timely delivery of food to our table. However, we could've used some clean plates for our main courses, so we ended up eating off of the same small plates (filled with eaten chicken/rib bones) from the PuPu. The server didn't come over to check on our table unless he was bringing food out. When we had our fill, the server promptly came over to clean off the table and box up the extra food. We were given fortune cookies and pinapple cubes with the check. The check came out to $34.40 before tip, after we used an Entertainment coupon, which took $11.95 (Pan Fried Noodles) off the check. Not too shabby for an overall decent and filling Chinese meal! read more

Server undercooked chicken. When talking to the manager we were asked if we had ever had Chinese food before. Yes we have and I am well aware what cooked chicken should look like. The manager then proceeded to tell us that we should have to pay for this. Poor customer service and even worse food. Don't recommend at all. Thinking about informing DHEC. read more

New Chief Wok Restaurant - General Tso 's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Salem, New Hampshire

I ordered $75 worth of food from this place as a gluten free option. When I received my meal they stated it was not. And none of the food was edible for those that ordered it specifically "gluten free". It was an option on their menu and they CANNOT produce it that way!!!! When I called and complained they admit they can't produce it that way but advertise it. Moreover, they won't refund the $75 I spent or make it right. What a joke. Don't go here. read more

Average of 3 stars???? Ridiculous. Generous/ friendly bartenders. Awesome sushi. Me and my wife's favorite chinese food in the area.

Easily the best Chinese food in Salem! Have tried them all and food is always fresh and delicious.

This is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in town. The Egg Foo Young there are many options, I really like the pork egg foo young and salt and pepper shrimp was so fresh and crisp. read more

Not going back. On New Year's Eve, waited one hour and fifteen minutes outside in line for food pick up. There was no organization or system in place. I ordered vegetable lo mein and got only lo mein. (Realized this once I was already home with my order). When I paid for my order, did not get an apology from them on having to wait. Nor did they offer us a gift card to use at a future time. Will not be going back. read more

Very good.. We ordered shrimp tempora (amazing), crab rangoons, pork fried rice, and green beans with beef. Just a few comments pork fried rice was very good, had a nice texture and even better taste green beans were cooked perfectly, a little crispy but not too hard *only negative* crab rangoons were ok, the filling was very sparse and I have had better Shrimp tempora was very good and the scorpion bowl was strong and delicious Highly recommend 9/10 read more

They don't deliver. Not sure why they claim to on Yelp. Pick up only. First Chinese restaurant I've seen that only has a few tables but won't deliver. Sure they won't last long read more

This is the best American Chinese food in the area. If your looking for standard pu pu platter items and other dishes you will find it here. They are attentive and quick service. They can accommodate large parties most of the time. read more

I would highly recommend trying this place, I think it's one of the best Chinese food places around. I have been here 5 times, and every time I've ordered take out. In the past I've always gotten the same things afraid of trying something new, here I have tried different things....and everything has been so Good. The menu has a lot of choices, and best of all they have lunches but also have dinners! The best of all worlds here. The place is always clean, and the people have been very pleasant. I live 3/4 of a hour away well worth the drive. read more

Amazing! It is so difficult to find a Chinese restaurant that not only has great pricing, but GREAT food to accompany the prices! Excellent! I had the General Tso Chicken, with white rice, and an egg roll. I also tried their won ton soup. Every bite was delicious! Not a single complain. All high quality ingredients and fresh. You can tell that they put quality into their food. Customer service was excellent as well. Thank you so much! My new favorite Chinese restaurant. I am going to try so much more off of your menu in the near future. read more

Very good. The rice was delicious. Everything came out hot and was fresh. The servers were attentive and very friendly. The mixed drinks are great. read more

Great Food. Great Staff. Great Drinks. I haven't been able to make their buffet yet. I'm told it's great. But I can say that their regular food is fantastic. Nuff Said? Closed on Mondays :( read more

I love this place, though I've only ordered a full dinner once (for takeout). Everything, from crab rangoon to sesame chicken to vegetable lo mein, was cooked to perfection and pretty reasonably priced. There are cheaper places, but Chief Wok is worth heading up NH Route 28 for. But where this place truly succeeds is in the tiny but festive lounge carved out of the main restaurant. Tasty but formidable drinks are the norm, served by excellent, no-BS tenders (Dodie and the owner, Sherry, immediately spring to mind, but the other bartenders are also good). A couple flat-screen TVs, year-round Christmas lights and chinese lantern-style decor and good, salt-of-the-earth clientele make this place a favorite. Perfect, especially, for a rainy weekend afternoon. Try the Peking ravioli, esp. with the chili sauce and you'll jones for it the rest of your life. If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'. read more
