Pretty yummy Chinese. Friendly, if somewhat stilted conversationally, service. It's our go to for consistent quality.

I moved to the area not long ago, and finding a good Chinese food place was one of the first things on the list. This place is pretty good, and the prices aren't too bad. I've had it a few times and have no complaints about the food or service. read more

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the hot & sour soup, Chow fun, and green beans. People were very friendly, food was ready fast, and vibes were good. Highly recommend!! Arguably the best Chinese place in Redding! read more

First reviewed 7 months ago-food ws fantastic and couldn't say enough on the way in the positive. Hv bn multiple xs since. Food and service both hv bn on the decline. Another Yelper made a comment abt being watched as if they weren't going to pay up @ the end of their meal-SO TRUE! Our party ordered the peppered steak w onion combo dinner w cream cheese won ton, beef & broccoli combo dinner w egg roll and pork BBQ appetizer. Our peppered steak ws in no way shape or form peppered. As to whether it ws even steak and beef were served-definite debate of the evening. It ws also scarce! We pd for a main course of veggies, pork fried rice and chicken chow mein MINUS the chicken. Not one of us hd a sliver of chicken in our chicken chow mein-disappointing. New China's chow mein is fantastic...whn complete. Needless to say, ths w/b our last visit to New China. It ws gd while it lasted. read more

Some coworkers took me to New China, and it was surprisingly good as it is hidden in a strip shopping center and didn't look like much from the outside. My lemon chicken was good and the others like their lunch specials too. It looked like they have all the standards you would expect. I guess I have a new place to choose from for my lunch rotation. read more

Best Chinese food in Redding Ca. They are lightning fast with the food and it is very good quality. The family run restaurant has been in Redding a long time now and the food has gotten better and better. Best prices as well. Great place for a family dinner. I really like the folks who run the restaurant. They do things top notch. Thanks again. read more

While in Redding last weekend, five of us asked a local family best place to have Chinese food! oh my gosh! THIS PLACE WAS THE BEST FOOD! Fresh, crisp, flavorful, right temp, excellent food!!!!! We were so delighted with the five person combo meal! Too much food but made for great leftovers! Service was great and we had the best Chinese food we have had in 15 years!! Highly recommend! Going back for sure! read more

Really nice, clean restaurant with good atmosphere. Best Chinese food in town!!! Nice friendly staff and really good services. I have been going here for years now and always had a good experience. I really enjoy their Pupu Platter, deep fried crab wontons, war wonton soup, honey walnut shrimp, happy family.... you want deep fried stuff? They got you. You want mixed veggies? They got you. You want coke AND Pepsi? They got you! read more

New China is hit and miss. Sometimes the food is amazing, and sometimes it's 'eh'. Same with the customer service. I've had annoyed looking waiters who never smiled when I had my kids with me, and I've had very friendly ones too. They do make really yummy walnut honey chicken though! All in all worth a trip as there really aren't any great Chinese food joints in Redding. Thai food yes, Chinese not so much. read more

They have many choices of meals. I have have been eating there for years. Always a great meal. Prices are great. I will be there soon. bdm

Let me just say that this place is a hole in the wall, but a CLEAN hole in the wall. Family was driving down from WA to CA and was craving Chinese food. Of course, we quickly turned to yelp because we never thought there a great Chinese restaurant would be possible in Redding, CA. When we first got there, the place looked not very trust worthy. Everything changed when we went inside. The staff was very courteous and this place was by far the cleanest Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Let me say that if you want to know whether the restaurant's kitchen is clean or not, you should check out their bathroom. If the bathroom is nasty, the kitchen I'm sure is more unsanitary even though the seating area might look nice. New China had a spotless bathroom and didn't smell. Nor was there a fragrance that tried to mask any smell. We got there around 6pm and it seems a bit empty. But we noticed that people kept coming in and out for take out. Then around 7pm, the restaurant was packed. It's a good sign if the restaurant is packed. We ordered... Sizzling Rice Soup - 5 stars ++ This soup was the bomb diggety. The rice crackles when he pours the soup and it is such a delicious appetizer to start off a great Chinese meal. One order of the soup gave out 4-5 small bowls of soup. it's MUST try. Shrimp Fried Rice - 5+ stars!!! ++This is DEFINITELY the best fried rice that has ever graced my tastebuds in my whole entire life! The rice is sooo juicy, moist, plump. The shrimps are huge not like those janky dried stuff you would find at a cheap chinese food place. Everything about the fried rice was soooooo great. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dish. I would order this for every meal if I lived here. Better than any fried rice I ever had in SF or Los Angeles. TRUE STORY. People who live here are lucky. Waterchestnut Snowpeas - 5 stars ++WOW! Party in my mouth! Such a perfect veggie dish to go along with our meal. The dish is so fresh. There's not too many waterchestnuts but perfectly balanced amount of both snowpeas and the chestnuts. I tried to order this dish in LA and it was soooo nasty. New China's food keeps appearing in my dreams... Sesame Chicken - 3 stars ++This is by far my least favorite dish. We weren't able to finish this dish because we were so full from the other items we ordered. NEW CHINA, you should open up a franchise in LA so I can NOM NOM NOM on your food everyday! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you ever decided to drive thru Redding! read more

So we were driving through this area (I live in Sac) and thought I'd find some good Chinese food trusting my fellow yelpers, but they got this one wrong. This was some of the most terrible Chinese food I've had. My boyfriend and I even had stomach aches after we left. The chicken tasted awful, like it had been reheated, it was hard to digest. We ordered the cashew chicken and prawns with mixed vegetables, but left most of the food on the plate. We even mentioned our dissatisfaction to our waiter, but he didn't seem too concerned about it. Maybe we are spoiled with so many good restaurants in Sac, but I would never return to this place. read more

What a pleasant surprise on the western outskirts of Redding--- an authentic Chinese restaurant, same owners for 18 years... great quality SUPER INCREDIBLE FAST SERVICE and the decor is very lovely and comfortable. We will be back! read more

New China is a hidden gem. We've eaten here twice and the food is excellent. It's served fast and hot, and the food is fresh. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. It's not over priced. This restaurant is a must!!! read more

New China is without a doubt the best Chinese food in Redding. Don't get me wrong, Chu's is good, but it is safe, it is what you expect; I like that, but I like New China more. If you love Chinese Food, let go of what you think is the best, because you are wrong. In a society where fancy is the finest, you tend to miss the finer things in life. Don't miss New China read more

The most authentic Chinese food in Redding! I love that they brine their chicken. The portions are great, and they have a very extensive menu. I order take out regularly and it's always efficient, hot, tasty, and correct. Dining in has always been a great experience as well. I definitely recommend the house chow fun. read more

Sadly I was expecting more from New China based on the Yelp reviews... so, where do I start? 1) This is more of a personal preference, but I enjoy egg drop soup as the soup that accompanies my [Chinese] meal. However the standard soup here is Hot & Sour soup - I'm not a fan. 2) The egg roll that comes with the lunch special, was very greasy and the filling was completely flavorless. 3) The fried rice was hard and almost crunchy, as I'm pretty sure the rice had not been reheated properly/long enough... I will say the flavor itself wasn't bad. 4) The chow mein was the most disappointing. All it was, was thick noodles with barely any chicken or veggies, and it left a lot to be desired flavor-wise. 5) The sweet and sour chicken I ordered was solidly decent, very middle-of-the-road. No complaints here. I will not be going out of my way to return to this establishment in the future. Instead, I will continue my journey of trying to find some good Chinese food in Redding. read more

This place kept me fed many a night during my high school years. IN between golf, choir, mad dinner, and musicals- this place was easy, fast and affordable. Beef Chow Mein= love also they are open pretty late for a redding restaurant. read more

The fiancee and I stopped by here last Sunday around 5 pm for a very late lunch / early dinner after an afternoon of hiking Mount Shasta. She really wanted Chinese food and this place seemed to be highly rated. I looked through the photos of the food and some of the previous reviews and was fairly skeptical. As a rule, I tend to avoid eating Chinese food outside of the San Francisco Bay Area because it's almost guaranteed that the food will end up tasting like Panda Express. Thankfully, this place turned out to be at least a slight notch above Panda Express quality. The fiancee ordered the Wonton Soup and the House Special Fried Rice and I ordered the Sizzling Beef. As expected, the food can best be characterized as your run-of-the-mill bizarrely Americanized version of Chinese food. The food lacks any nuance or depth of flavor you want out of real Chinese food. The Sizzling Beef was drowning in sauce (a big NO NO) and all the food was pretty salty. What infuriated me the most was the wait for the food. This is a relatively small restaurant - maybe 10 to 15 tables total. There are a lot of call in To Go orders, but still, we waited for over 35 minutes for our 3 dishes of food. Absolutely unacceptable. The restaurant obviously needs to hire more staff and it clearly has the means to do so. It was early on Sunday for dinner and already the restaurant was mostly full with a constant barrage of call in orders. If I had to, I might be able to force myself to come here again, but definitely not by choice. Places like New China are further proof in my mind that it is not possible to find authentic Chinese food in places where there is no substantial Chinese population. You might wonder how I still manage to give this place 3 stars. There are clearly some pros. It's obviously very popular with the locals, so I must be in the minority here with my less-than-satisfactory review. In addition, the food is reasonably okay. Not good or spectacular, but definitely better than some Chinese fast food chains. Finally, the prices are reasonable and won't break your budget: we had a decent meal for about $30. read more

very delicious food! I could eat here forever. The oranges they gave us at the end were dry. Also, the customer service sucks. but the food? My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I will reccomend. read more

New China - sesame chicken! - Chinese Near Me - Redding, California

I am really not understanding the high reviews of this place. Admittedly, Chinese food isn't normally my thing - I prefer the more flavorful Thai, Laotian, or Korean. So maybe I am not the best person to review a Chinese food place, but honestly it was really boring and mediocre food. I ordered the Mongolian beef. It was OK. Decent flavors, though not spicy at all like the menu claimed. The meat was pretty chewy IMO. Hubby ordered the sesame chicken. That was really the only good thing on the table. The dinners come with chow mein and fried rice. The mein was decent- fat wheat noodles. Fried rice was boring. Kids had pu pu platter and the only decent thing on that was the ribs. The rest was pretty forgettable. The place is small, family-owned, so I feel sad to dis it when I am sure it's their livelihood. The service was fast and the servers kind and attentive. read more

Very nice Chinese restaurant. Food is good with great service.

I now live in Redding, previously Los Angeles. LA is full of fabulous Chinese restaurants, and I've been to lots of them.... New China easily compares with the best places in LA. Walking in, the place feels like the usual hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I always look to see if the local Chinese population also eats there - and they do. Con: food sometimes seems a bit oily.... The menu items I've tried have been great. LOVE the Mu Shu Chicken. The prices are fabulous and a great value. One order of Mu Shu is dinner and leftovers. They always have a steady stream of take-out orders being picked up. Try it! read more

Large portions and pretty good food. We ordered take out. Food came fairly quick. Place was full of peoole eating and lota of take out orders. The fried rice wasnt the best but not terrible. Would go back again. read more

Fabulous Chinese food. Very generous portions. We did a two person combo dinner plus chow mein and took two boxes home. Helpful cheerful staff and reasonable prices. Definitely will be back! Try to sit away from kitchen. Cleanup cart is loud. read more

My family and I ate here while we were on vacation and heading to Dunsmuir. I can't rave enough about the goodness. We live over four hours away, and now my husband & I joke all the time that we want to make the four hour drive just to eat here. The best Chinese I can remember eating...possibly ever in my life!! New China can you please move to Grass Valley, CA? read more

This use to be our favorite Chinese restaurant 3 years ago. We moved and found our new favorite ( Peacock) We went to New China the other day for lunch because we had business in that area. I was very disappointed. It has changed so much. It is still good but we have found a better place ( Peacock). The waiter who waited on us seemed bored with his job and us. He didn't want to accommodate us with our order. He rushed us in and out. I do not like that. I doubt we will return to New China again. We will stick with our favorite (PEACOCK in Anderson) read more

We were looking for a good Chinese food and I searched yelp and found new china and reviewed their menu and seen their great prices When we arrived at the restaurant I was surprised it was as nice as it was was service was awesome and food was great read more

This place has been around for a while but I never get the chance to come since it's not super close to my house so I was excited to give it a try tonight. I ordered the cashew chicken combo plate. It was a TON of food! I was eating solo as my fireman husband got called into work and I ended up taking a bunch of food home. The combo plate comes with soup, a large egg roll and then your plate full of noodles, rice and whatever dish you chose. It's good food, not spectacular, but good. Great value for what you get. My bill with the tip was 11 bucks and change. :) I'll take it! read more

Best Chinese food in Redding, food tastes fresh and is superior in nearly every aspect to other Chinese spots in town.

Absolutely my favorite Chinese restaurant. Quality food, good prices, quick service... I have been eating there for years and I feel nothing compares to other places for Chinese. Very tasty! read more

I had lunch here with my mom, we Ordered General Tso's Prawns, the waiter brings us General Tso's Chicken. We politely pointed out the mistake, and the waiter told us we had ordered two plates of General Tso's--chicken and shrimp--the shrimp wasn't ready yet. I pointed out that this was incorrect--we only ordered GT's shrimp. Then the waiter (an older gentleman who seemed to have difficulty understanding us) got angry and insisted we were wrong about what we ordered. He removed the chicken and slammed the plate into a dish bin. Then he brought us walnut shrimp, not at all what we ordered but we ate it just to avoid the drama and get out of there. The bill wasn't right and we ended up paying extra for sides we didn't order, not to mention the waiter never admitted to or apologized for his multiple mistakes, and was visibly annoyed with us for the remainder of our meal. This is the first time I've ever felt unwelcome in a restaurant. This is usually my go to place for Chinese food when I'm in the area, but the service we received has me seriously reconsidering ever returning to an otherwise good Chinese restaurant. read more

Some of the better food in Redding Pros: good service, fair prices. Nice atmosphere, white table cloth, good food. Cons: nothing comes to mind. No msg in the food I had, I'll be back. read more

Came check out what the buzz was about... Not much of a buzz... The place: The place looks odd. I guess it it what it is. Nothing special... It's whatever... Food: Egg tofu soury soup... Meh... It's tolerable. General tso chicken overloaded with their sauce... Too much... It's pretty good but too much sauce it's overwhelming to eat. Fried rice taste so bland. Other places are way better. Mongolian beef that looks good but the meat tasted like pork. I asked the waiter if it's pork and started making fun off me in Chinese... Well the dish is good but I'm not sure what meat I'm eating. House special chow fun this is delicious. The shrimp in this dish is remarkable! The waiters: they're nice but wasn't able to handle questions... Like is this beef? Our chow fun was supposed to have beef and pork and I cannot find any difference in beef and pork... Laughed at my questions and kept making fun of me in Chinese.... Sad days! My wife was annoyed of the place and couldn't wait to leave... We will most likely give it another shot and try different dishes... read more

New China is great. I love eating here and can't recommend it enough. If you plan to sit-down you need to order the lunch or dinner special for some delicious meals for cheap. My to-go order tends to be Beef Chow Mein and I've never seen a restaurant pack a to-go box so fully. Worth every penny. read more

The prices are cheap and the servings are good. You can get your Chinese fix here! I come here literally once a year for an traditional annual trip. No Gai Lan and other items are missing off the menu. I got Bok choi and beef, sweet and sour pork, string brand with chicken, and wor wonton. Wor Wonton was salty, Everything else was okay. I like how they give ornamental oranges too. read more
