This place seems to be hit or miss with us. Sometimes it's pretty good and other times it's just so greasy that it makes us sick. You get a good serving of food, true. This place is good if you have a craving for something Chinese that isn't really that great. We won't be going back because last time it made us both physically sick. The inside isn't a great place to eat. Very small. read more

I had new China fun when they opened and didn't like anything. ( Old China fun was the best.) So it's been a long time and I decided to give them a try. I went through reviews and took recommendations. And I ordered at 11am to make sure everything was super fresh.) I got the coconut chicken lunch special. - the chicken is good quality. I'm not sure what's over the chicken. It reminds me of sweetened condensed milk but not sticky... but it's not very sweet. And I didn't get coconut in the flavor either. I'm confused. It wasn't bad. It also wasn't good. The rice while better then the plain river rice ( it's chicken fried) it's still easily the worst rice I've ever had at a Chinese place. It was hard, almost crunchy. Large orange chicken with plain fried rice. This dish is good. Not fabulous, but I'd eat it again. Without the rice. If I ordered again I'd tell them no rice. Cause it's a waste of a paper box. Steamed dumplings were very good. Loved the dipping sauce. Egg roll was bad. Real bad. I'd eat a full order of rice before I'd eat another one of those. If you ever bought dollar tree egg rolls to chase off a egg roll craving when Chinese wasn't in your budget.... cooked it in the microwave only to find it was still a little chilled on the inside and wet and soggy. You have already had their egg rolls. Crab Rangoon. They were not all the way crispy. The inside is almost liquid... it pours out when you bite. In my whole order I saw one tiny minced piece of crab. The flavor isn't terrible. Their recipe needs a bit of work. It's saveable. Cost... right over 30.00 Will I be back. Maybe... maybe not. read more

See all

Love it! Food and service always great and at a good price! Never takes more than 15 minutes. Our new place for Chinese food!

For typical American Chinese food, or what I would call mall Chinese food, this place is above average and I really enjoy their orange chicken. Quality in their food has really gone down over the years and I don't think I would make the trip unless I was really craving this style of Chinese food but if I was this is the only place in Tuscaloosa I would probably go. Nothing to write home about service or ambiance wise read more

The take-out was very good. I had the Wonton-Eggdrop Soup, Beef and Broccoli with Fried Dumplings. Hot and delicious. I've gone here a number of times when staying in Tuscaloosa for work. read more

These reviews are trash, We've been going to China fun for years, since back before the tornado and they were Located in Alberta, $9 ya heard me? $9 for some spice in your Life, small on ya wallet but Huge on flavor! Don't let Karen fool you, one bite you'll be back read more

New China Fun - General Tso and lo mein - Cantonese Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Dinner was Szechuan chicken and garlic chicken for my wife. Egg roll appetizers. Portions were great. Szechuan chicken was good but not as spicy as I was anticipating. Had to doctor it up a bit. Wife said the garlic was fair at best. Refused to eat the leftovers next day. Egg roll were egg rolls. Asked for fried rice with both and did not realize we got white (yellow tint) rice instead. Hate that! I know it's on me for not checking. Overall good not read more

Not the best place to eat. Got the bourbon chicken that looked and tasted like sweet n sour chicken. read more

New China Fun - Supposed to be bourbon chicken. - Cantonese Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Food is still reminiscent of the food they had when I was in college and it was located in Alberta City. Pricing is good along with the portion size. Quick takeout as well. read more

yeah they are good, really good. The coconut chicken on top of white rice really is something special. I always order the shrimp toast and teriyaki chicken sticks on the side. Easily the best chicken sticks in town. Also get the Chinese donuts. Just. Get. Them. read more

Their Mongolian beef is nothing like Mongolian beef. Their egg rolls and spring rolls are shipped in. They don't have just vegetable spring or egg rolls. The hot and sour soup is shipped in. They don't offer it without meat and seafood. read more

This place Is the worst I have ever been to. First the lady tried to cheat me out my money and not give me my proper change...She had the nerves to get an attitude when I called her out. Secondly, when I received my food the portions sizes was incorrect. I will never visit this place again and I am advising all people in Tuscaloosa please do not go that way. read more

To be a 5 star restaurant, customer service should be accounted for, and new China fun doesn't have it. I would call in for orders far more often if the guy that answers the phone 99% of the time wasn't so rude. When you ask a question, he answers it like you're an idiot rather than someone who just genuinely needs help with the menu. Then when you go in to pick up your order he just grunts at you and expects for you to know that he means for you to give him the phone number associated with the order. Like "grunting" is a language that we all understand. I'm not a fan. Food is great though! Not sure it's worth being treated and talked to like that though. read more

Used DoorDash to order up to 50$ worth of food. My general Tso chicken combination dinner was awful. It looked like they scraped the bottom of a pan and gave me all the crumbs and crunchy pieces. I literally had no pieces with actual chicken on them. Just make another batch instead of skimping customers for your already over priced below average Chinese food.. Buyer beware! read more

My big city roots must be showing, since I was pretty shocked that New China Fun was the only Chinese restaurant we could find that was open today. I mean, it's Christmas -- so some of us go see a movie and eat Chinese food, right? Anyway, the husband called around and the guy who answered the phone said they were open til 7pm, so we headed over there around 5:30. We were not the only customers, but boy, did the guy behind the counter seem thrilled to be at work or what...not. He marked our order down on a menu and yelled it back to the kitchen in Chinese. We only waited 10-15 minutes for our food, but I noticed that he was letting the phone ring longer and longer, and when the husband asked for some chili paste, he about threw it in the bag. Now, onto the real point: the food. The only good thing I can say about it is -- um, at least some of it was hot. But not all of it. The crab rangoon was a huge disappointment. It was bland, barely filled, had no discernible crab, and the wonton was under cooked. It tasted like nothing and wasn't even crunchy, and salt doesn't really stick to a fried shell, so it wasn't fixable. I ate half of one and threw the rest away, it was that pointless. The menu described the sesame chicken as spicy, but when I asked the cashier if it could be made not spicy, he assured me it wasn't spicy at all. And...it wasn't. It too tasted like nothing, and combined with the yellow (yellow??) rice and a good dose of salt, I was left with a slightly sweet taste in my mouth, and nothing else. The husband got what we think was Mongolian triple something or other (we can't seem to located the item on the menu online) and shrimp and broccoli. Both seemed to have the same brown sauce, and were completely tasteless. The broccoli was barely cooked. Honestly, it was terrible and an insult to decent American Chinese food. So rather than having some delicious Chinese takeout to enjoy on Christmas, we're left with $37.44 of garbage. I don't know about you, but I'm not having "Fun," New China. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

If you are wanting some food for the go. This is it. I do meal prepping and I always take the Easy route and order a lot of rice from here when I can. Only complaint I can give this place is some dishes lack all together while I others are out of this world read more

Horrible service. I picked up food there and the woman usually behind the counter(I believe its the owner) treated me like absolute garbage. She always has a disgusting attitude. Horrible horrible horrible read more

This place has gone from really good prior to the tornado taking out the old place in Alberta which just FYI was once a Krispy Kreme to what it has sadly become today. I ordered the pepper steak this past weekend and wondered if I had orders some vegetarian option until I looked really close and finally found a few small and measly pieces of meat. This wasn't the combo but a large pepper steak should have been steak flavored peppers and onions. The fried rice was extremely dry and some of it crunched and was quite hard in the center. The lady upfront was rude, never smiled, and appears like she really isn't happy that you are there. So no problem I won't be back. read more

I love china fun, the boneless spareribs are the best I've ever tasted. Service is always friendly, food is always fresh, and it doesn't take very long to get your food. read more

The food is horrible. I ordered garlic chicken and the chicken taste like it was spoiled. Had to throw it away. They don't have to worry about me, they don't have to worry bout my friends, my cousins, my high school teacher, the mailman or anyone else I know. read more

A shot time ago I was told this business did not want my Service Dog in their restaurant. I was told it upsets other customers. No one else was in the restaurant. I got very upset. We have been in this location many times. Lady, and I use this term lightly, said we had never been in there before. This greatly upset my sister. Not legal at all. My blood sugar was dropping so I went to another place for lunch. I can not recommend this place to anyone now. read more

We never leave here hungry, in fact many times we take a doggy bag unless we share one combo meal! Food is ALWAYS great, ALWAYS hot and service is very good for the amount of orders they put out! Highly recommend! read more

Five stars for their low price, tasty sweet tea, and VERY HONEST waitress. This restaurant serves American style Chinese food. read more

The best Chinese in town! Coconut chicken is my favorite. It's a sweet white sauce. It's delicious. You get a ton of food for very little money. read more

The staff is very friendly and the prices are reasonable, but the food could definitely be better. I love Chinese food, but it's never a good sign when your Mongolian Beef is 90% onion. Not even green onions either, just plain white onion. A huge one. Honestly it looked like they only spilled some beef into my giant box of onions by accident. The other people in my party had similar experiences with their dishes, unfortunately. read more

Sadly this is one of the best Chinese pickup places in t-town. Why say sadly? Because the others such as "hot wok" down 69, China garden, and swen are all vile. This location gives you nice portions for the price. The food quality is fair and it suffices my Chinese cravings unlike the other places. Now one strange thing I did notice last time I went there, was corn in my egg drop soup. A good bit of corn I may add. Now idk if that was supposed to be an ingredient but if it is, they need to call it corn egg drop soup...did not want that. Will be continuing to find my Chinese go to here in Tuscaloosa/Northport area. read more

I get Chinese takeout from here at least once a week and the food is always great. It has pretty large portions for a good price.

Have to say I never thought American Chinese food could taste so fresh. I got the sesame chicken. It was hot and well seasoned. Would highly recommend. read more

We were traveling on Christmas Day - of course nothing was open (as expected), but we found the New China Fun restaurant- they were fantastic and the food was good. We were really grateful for them today. Merry Christmas! read more

After a long trip and drive home from the airport, we saw New China Fun lit up from the road. Wife spontaneously decided she wanted vegetable lo mein. After a sharp left turn into the parking lot and about 7 minutes later we had our lo mein, pork fried rice and wonton soup and were on our way home. It gets 5 stars not because it's a five star restaurant but because it's exactly what you expect... Tasty food at a low price. read more

Having lived in Tuscaloosa for many years I have eaten at China fun years ago and now New China fun. The quality of the food has declined and specifically the fried rice has a stale old flavor. I'll give the restaurant another try in a couple of months to see if the rice situation has been resolved. I hope they turn things around I love the convenient location. JC Tuscaloosa read more

We usually eat here every time we want to eat Chinese, for some reason today it was the worst!! hard to chew, I got sesame chicken and my husband got the general gso and he agreed was to hard to chew and said his didn't even look like chicken , even the egg rolls and crab rangoons were not tasty, needless to say it'll be a long time before we go back. read more

I'm a snob about Chinese carry-out usually, but we'd heard good things about this place near our new house from friends who were excited by the return of New China Fun after being destroyed in the big 4/27/11 tornado. We got a few basic things last night after returning late from a long trip--roast pork lo mein, fried rice, General Tsao, fried wontons, steam dumplings. First, I was pleasantly surprised to be engaged in conversation by the woman at the front counter about NYC because she recognized our NYC area code (we've been here 5 years & still haven't changed our cell numbers). Apparently, she moved down here from Sunset Park, Bklyn to reopen the restaurant, & I'm a sucker for someone from so close to my old stomping ground. The food was good enough. The lo mein was not too greasy as it can be at some of these places. The dumplings were a little rubbery & wontons a little dry, but the food was overall really really affordable. So I'll still go to Mr. Chen's when I can justify it, but this place will do when we want to save money or closer to home. read more
