    27. Sesame Chicken Combination Plate
    Katie A.

    Decided on Chinese Take Out the other night to accompany the Chinese New Year cake I made for my mom for her birthday, because let's face it, what's a birthday party without a theme? Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on rat party supplies (2020 is the Year of the Rat). This time I deviated from my go-to General Tso's and took a less militaristic approach, going with the sesame chicken combo meal (whoa! so different... not), rounded out with bland pile of pork fried rice and an eggroll better fit for a rabbit than a hungry human. Egg rolls are the quintessential Chinese takeout food, and even though they're very much an Americanized creation that evolved from its cousin, the more svelte Chinese spring rolls, sometimes I very much like the basic version you find in takeout places and Chinese buffets; however, unfortunately this review lost a star because of it's disappointing egg roll. Hey, it was missing so many ingredients, I figured it wouldn't notice a missing star, too. Instead of a colorful medley of shredded cabbage, carrots, celery, scallions, and *hopefully* some pork in there for good measure, I sunk my teeth into a crispy egg roll wrapper filled with nothing but wilted cabbage leaves with absolutely no flavor, zilch. Nada. More like a take on chimichanga better suited for a rabbit than an American girl. It was a disappointing end to the weekend, to say the least, but it got me thinking: what happened to all those fillings? Do I need to send out a search party? Are these veggies falling off the back of a delivery truck? I need answers people! Egg rolls are being compromised, and it ain't pretty. In closing, my meal was pretty tasty, an A-OK version of sesame chicken, which honestly isn't that much different that General Tso's, just perhaps a bit less spicy. Their General Tso's doesn't pack a memorable punch, so these dishes are almost the same. I haven't completely given up on New China, but next time I have a hankering for Chinese food, I'm going to expand my horizons and try a new place...

    Really above average in the Americanized Chinese Takeout genre, average value in a hole in the wall storefront in a nearly-dead oldschool mini-stripmall. We tried standards for our first time out. Dumplings were well above average, including nice thick wrappers and very gingery pork fillings. Eggrolls were not overfried and greasy. Moo Shu pork was very tasty, although downgrades on the pancakes for having been reheated in a baggy in the microwave (and all of them fell apart along the crease lines, so it was a fail). Orange chicken was glutinous, American-style, but had many actual pieces of orange peel in it, indicating they make the sauce from scratch. Downtick for almost no broccoli in it, though. String beans were nice and garlicky, although we still haven't found a place in the area that sears them dry the way they're suppose to be seared. But the quality of the beans was good and they remained crunchy. Having cantonese, szechuan, and hunan is really all over the map, and they have some true American dishes (chow mein!) so there's not what I'd call much originality going on, but within the category everything definitely came out above average. They had the order up within 15 minutes as well. Prices aren't that cheap relative to the area, though, with some of the main course dishes ranging up above $9 for standard-sized takeouts. They do use the reusable plastic containers (the old style paper containers were used only for rice) which is a plus. The thing I noticed most about this place, though, compared to the many other similar and almost generic counter-style Chinese takeout joints, is that the employees were chattering with one another, laughing, exchanging pleasantries (with one another; the English of the counter clerk was almost non-existent, and presumably his American language skills were the best of the crew), and acting like, well, a family. Too many places like this the employees seem to be toiling under indenture (perhaps literally) and seem unhappy and gruesomely overworked. So it was a bit more pleasant than one might expect given the hideaway location.

    Broken won tons. And moo shu chicken

    I I ordered moo shu chicken what a mistake The wontons that you roll the moo shu in we're all broken to pieces when I got home I had to eat Mushu out of a tin pan. And they never give you hot mustard People came back just to get hot mustard. when i called my order in the girl told me that rice came with moo shu When I got there she said she was sorry that moo shu did not have rice with it and if I wanted some rice that she could give me some I figured it would be on the house because she made a mistake well she charge me four dollars for the rice I told her no thanks I will skip the rice ,over all bad experience at that New China. And the moo shu itself was not that good.

    Very good my favorite Chinese food. The food and service is great. It is a very good family restaurant with seating and delivery and Carry out as well.

    Egg drop soup! Missing the corn and ham version I'm used to, but tasty! I like adding siracha to it

    So yes, safe to say Schenectady has decent Chinese food. I'm a picky person! I love awesome Lo Mein and they have it here QUART size! I didn't look at menu prices when I called to place the order, I ordered a small Egg drop soup, Qt. of Vegetable Lo Mein and a large General Tso to share with hubby! All that for $17 bucks with tax! I am impressed and I think the quality definitely surpasses our old Chinese take out place Golden House. I have now become a loyal take out member of New China! Excellent service on the phone, patient, they speak clear English and get you exactly what you want. Free wonton chips with your order. Dinner portions huge! I can't wait to back for their lunch deals. The pictures will get you to drool. Now I will help myself to seconds :D

    I ordered Hunan chicken for delivery on a Thursday night. It was SO not good. I won't order from…read morehere ever again. I'll buy frozen PF Changs and eat that instead. Honestly, this is like Chinese food from Utah back in 1980. It's THAT bloody backwards, this cooking. Really bad quality. I am hoping we finally get a Panda Express at the level served on the NJTp because that is 1000 times better than this...which is a very sad statement from this Washington DC girl. It's pretty hard to do worse than Panda ! The vegetables in the Hunan tasted canned and severely overcooked. The sauce was so "whitened" that it barely qualified as a sauce. It was weird, white sauce, nothing "hunan" about it, had a little heat but zero flavor, The steamed dumplings were a small wonton wrap with a filling and not even as good as that. Ugh. So very disappointing. Delivery was perfectly fine.

    Chambers with all this stuff don't normally order food from anywhere near here but we are on the…read moreway home and there were no Chinese restaurants that are open in our area so we ordered here. The food was awesome. Roommate got General Tso's chicken it is so juicy and chicken taste really great and the breading is awesome and a sauce there's enough stop more than I normally see and it is spicy but not killer spicy. I got General so chicken it is good I like it. I wish they had a menu and if roommate had grabbed the menu I would have taken a picture. The staff was nice it's in a nice new little building in Round Lake behind the store.
