So simple yet delicious! This is one of the few places in Chinatown that has not increased their pricing drastically over the last 5 years. This place is seriously affordable. You can get two dishes for under $10. I highly recommend the fuzhou wontons mixed with vinegar. A killer combo if you get the peanut noodles with it. This might just be my new fav place to grab something super quick. You get your food in 5 mins! This place is one of the OG places in Chinatown iykyk so it's not gonna be your typical restaurant standard, but enough for you to sit down and enjoy your meal. Also to note- they charge additional $1 for any bills under $15! read more

Wow what an amazing deal in Chinatown!! A hole in the wall fuzhounese restaurant that doesn't have the most impressive interior or exterior, but is super no nonsense and will get the job done. $5.25 for many many fuzhou style wontons, and only $4 for ban mian (peanut butter noodles). The fuzhou style wontons came with a nice clear broth that tasted even more elevated with the vinegar at the table. Came with at least 15 tiny pork wontons wrapped in a superrr thin rice paper. Ban mian was the star - I'm biased cuz I love peanut butter noodles in general, but this was so peanutty yet not heavy at all! It comes unmixed so you have to mix the sauce in yourself. Pro tip: if you add some siracha, it's absolutely delicious!! read more

Came here after my boyfriend suggested it. The place is a classic fast Chinese food spot. It has pictures of the foods they have around the restaurant and benches for dining in. We decided to dine in and ordered house special fried rice, chicken pot stickers, and a kiwi smoothie. We were serviced right away and everything came out really quick. The rice was good - I'd give it a 7.8/10 it just needed more meat. The potstickers did not have flavor in my opinion - had to put siracha sauce of them. The kiwi smoothie was good and refreshing! read more

This restaurant specializes in traditional fuzhou (southern area) Chinese food. We tried quite a few of their dishes and they were all pretty solid. I'll try to remember what we ordered since it was a while ago, but here it is. We got the fried taro cake, clams in a black bean sauce, peanut noodles (a classic), wonton soup, dumplings, and lychee flavored fried ribs and taro (I think). The wontons are the classic southern version that are very small with a super thin wrapper. My favorite was the fried ribs and taro in a lychee sauce, they didn't taste too much like lychee it was just a sauce on the sweeter side. It's a small family business with a decent number of seats. Service is good and I asked for some recommendations from our server. read more

New Chinatown Restaurant in Chicago offers a unique dining experience by catering to both American Chinese and Fuzhounese cuisines. As a second-generation Fuzhounese, I have a deep appreciation for this establishment's efforts to introduce lesser-known flavors to the city. My initial visit to the restaurant was a nostalgic experience, as the flavors transported me back to cherished moments of dining with my family. My go-to order from the Fuzhounese menu is a combination of ban mian, bian rou, and fried taro cake. This is a common breakfast meal that many people order from their neighborhood eatery in Fuzhou, China. I often get this order to-go, and eat from the comfort of my home in the mornings/early afternoons. Whether dining in, or taking to-go, the quality and taste is always the same, and does a great job of capturing the essence of my second home. While the Fuzhounese cuisine at New Chinatown might not reach the same level of authenticity as the renowned Fuzhounese restaurants in Flushing, Queens, NYC, known for their Little Fuzhou and various Fuzhounese eateries, it remains the best and only option in Chicago. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend for anyone seeking an authentic or exploratory Chinese dining experience to check this place out. Support your local Chinese restaurants! read more

New Chinatown Restaurant - Rice flour cake soup, fuzhou style wonton (bian rou), cold style noodle (ban mian), fried taro cake - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Basic looking places like this are all around Chinatown. It's a tiny ass restaurant with only a few tables inside. New Chinatown has a pretty small selection on the menu. Few vegetarian choices let alone vegan, so that's a disappointment. This is good for those needing takeout. After making plans for a pot luck, I needed something to bring. I was around here and came in. This isn't somewhere typical for me because of the lack of vegan options. However, this food was for other people, so it was good enough. They only have a few vegetarian choices, including the Vegetable Rolls. It's $4 for a few. These looked crispy on the outside, and held up well until they were eaten by guests. Good replies on the flavor. They seemed to be popular. Chinatown has a lot of these dinky ass places, some good and others which are bad. In this instance it's more good. There's not a whole lot that doesn't have beef, chicken, or seafood, but if you're looking for cheap, then here you can find stuff. read more

Man.. we came to get some soup dumplings and this is what came out. It was sweet and chewy and weird. It had hot ass peanuts inside and it smelt like bubblegum. The noodles were supposed to be hand pulled and the whole thing tasted like packaged ramen. The tea was pitiful. I think the noodles were spaghetti but the broth was good. Oxtail wasn't even oxtail. It was super dry. There's so much more food to eat in Chinatown I wouldn't even try it. Never coming here again. read more

We came here thinking we'd find soup dumplings but this isn't it. I will say the worker did try to tell us by saying "Sweet" and we got them anyway. Just wasn't what we were expecting.

We came to this restaurant because we saw that they were a participating business in the $2 for 3 hours parking. We ordered a $5 drink & paid, when asked to validating the parking the woman at the register stated that there was a $20 minimum for their restaurant. We had not noticed this outside and so we asked her to show us where it said that. There was a very faint number 0 on the sign which I'm guessing was apart of a "$20" and you couldn't even read the words that came before it from how worn down the sign was. We told her we could barely see it, and she proceeded to rudely trace the numbers and ask if we could see it now. We told her that it was unfair because we couldn't even read the $20 minimum anyway since it was all basically gone. When we were walking around, none of the other stores had added any minimum to their sign. They refused to validate our parking and so we asked if they could give us a refund on the drink because we felt the manner they were treating us was very rude. It was only a $6 refund and they were doing everything they could not to validate our parking. I'm not sure what they lost from validating our parking but we asked for a refund. They all made a big deal out of it, bringing out their young son to translate and shouting in their language. The woman's husband even began shouting at us. My boyfriend asked him to please calm down because we were trying to hear what their son was explaining to us. They were clearly talking about us because of how one of the other workers laughed and scoffed when the lady said something under her breath. We felt very disrespected because we could not understand what they were saying, and therefore could not defend ourselves. She gave us a refund and threw the receipt on the counter, saying nothing. We asked what she needed from us and she said "your signature" in a rude tone. We left after signing the receipt. I understand each restaurant has a right to add a minimum and has their policies but we could hardly read the worn down sign under their $2 for 3 hour validation participating business sign she had added, and they were very rude with how they handled everything. It was only a $6 refund as well. read more

Some of the most delicious Chinese food I've ever tasted. What a treat to eat great tasting authentic Chinese food. The dumplings, orange chicken and even the noddles were "Whoa!" and "umm hmm"!

Ohhhhhh, I get it now, this place's real name is "New China Town Chop Suey" As everyone said, its a late night joint. I usually go there with a group after a night of drinking and fun. This is an intimate place with one waiter (be patient). The service is good and they are fast an efficient. Chinatown is a beautiful place but New China isn't.... the restaurant gets to the REAL business at hand....the eats. I like it, its simple. The place only takes cash because "the credit merchant is out of order" and has been like that for as long as I have been going there (over 7 years). When you go there I suggest: 1. You don't go there after the club closes if you don't want to wait for a table because that place gets packed. It happens to my friends and I all the time. We go after a night of drinking, dancing, and fun then we head over to New China for some good cheap eats...then they are packed to the gills. It is so packed that you see people practically standing and eating. Then we end up getting frustrated and eating next door, Three happiness....HUGE mistake. Three Happiness doesn't satisfy as good as New China will. 2. Bring cash. To keep your cost down...try the "over rice dishes" on the menu. 3. Try all or any of these items: Salt and Pepper pork Chops Clams in oyster sauce shrimp and scrambled eggs Salt and pepper shrimp w/o the shell BBQ pork fried rice Crab Rangoon Hong Kong Steak (expensive but goooooood) Chinese broccoli Go out of your way and try this hidden treasure and you will be thanking me. read more

This restaurant is now called New Chinatown Restaurant and has Northern style Chinese food in addition to their regular menu. My parents are from Northern China so they are always on the hunt for new restaurants that advertise as 'Northern' style. When we got here on a Sunday afternoon, we had low expectations since the restaurant is pretty dingy and a surly Chinese teenager was our waitress. However, we found the menu to be pretty expansive and the food was pretty authentic/homey mom cooked feeling! Also, the prices are extremely reasonable along with portion size. Will definitely be back to try out some other dishes! read more

Since my parents are from Fuzhou I may be biased but their food is amazing! The green beans are not overly salty like most Chinese restaurants, and the rice cake flour soup is a must. Often Chinese restaurants put too much oil or the dishes are just too salty. This restaurant does is just the opposite, meaning not too much salt and not too much oil. The waitress was really nice and it was not terribly busy so food came relatively fast. If you need to a place to eat in Chinatown, this restaurant is the place to go. read more

This restaurant has opened for more than a year now and we walked by there multiple times when we were heading to other restaurants in Chinatown and never for once thought of dropping by here. The reason is that the sign looked like those restaurant catered more to either people who do not know what authentic Chinese food is, and it does not look very modern and most of the young people would not think of taking their friends here. After being told by a friend that this is the only Fujian-style restaurant in Chicago, we decided to drop by. It is actually surprisingly good. It is very authentic, really recommend any of the dishes in the first section of the manuals, those are all authentic street eats in the Fujian region of China. The taro cake is well cooked, not too oily, with a lot of taro inside (instead of just heavily battered, but not much stuffing). the battered had a bit of those chinese pepper salt on it, compliments the taro inside quite well. The rice noodle with oyster in there is quite good too. Despite the look of the restaurant, all the food there are quite authentic. Worth a visit! read more

((rating is base on any other 4-5AM restaurant in Chicago) -=Décor=- Yeah, drop off your bougy taste of your ideal elegant dining at the door...

Everything on the menu is super cheap. Credit card machine has been out of order since 2002. So bring cash! -=Service=- If you see a young, tall asian guy with glasses in the white shirt, black pants and black gym shoes? Yeah that's Ray. I have no complaints about him at all... I want to give him five stars in LIVE! If you want any beverage of any kind, just stand up and get it your self. Water will come after the first dish is out or maybe not at all. Food comes up randomly. Someone could finish their food before you even get yours. Fried eggs will be last, you can count on it! You will also need to request a spoon, if you really need one. -=Food=- Drunk or sober, the Chinese food served here is always slammin' good and extremely cheap!

I've been eating at this restaurant for over 6 years and I had no idea this place was called New Chinatown Chop Suey! I always thought it was simply new Chinatown. Whatever the name maybe, they have the best egg drop soup and veg egg rolls in Chinatown. I've rarely tried anything else besides the egg rolls, egg drop soup and vegetarian fried rice. This was our favorite place to go at 2 am when I was in college and remains a favorite place whenever I'm craving Chinese food. The look of the restaurant is pretty basic, nothing trendy, hell, doesn't even feel clean half the time. They have a TV that is probably as old as I am with an antenna that wouldn't catch a signal if it was being transmitted from New Chinatown's kitchen! Oh and don't be shocked if homeless people come in (usually late at night) asking for change or get a can of pop! The waiters don't really speak English, especially the older guy and everytime my order comes out, I'm shocked to see that it is what I had ordered ! It really is a fun experience to eat here late at night. Their credit card machine has been 'out of order' for years! I have paid with a card before, but not in the past couple of years - so make sure you have cash. Next time you're in Chinatown late at night, try New Chinatown for a cheap, quick and good Egg drop soup and Egg rolls! read more

Stopped here for take out at the end of an incredibly stressful night, at an ungodly late hour. I was amused when the little Asian grandmother staggered out in her night coat to prepare my meal. This place is in no way fancy, the Chinese equivalent of a greasy spoon all nighter. What this place lacks in splendor, it makes up for in interesting menu choices and gritty charm. I was feeling a little funky that early am, so I ordered the stir fried blue crab , my first time ordering the dish. I was more than pleased with my entree and thought it was great. I ordered a side of beef fried rice, I've had this fried rice in a dozen places, pretty typical but still very good. I think I just found the front runner in my search for a favorite place in Chinatown. read more

No way in hell this place deserves anything above one star. It is edible, granted. If you're looking for something to just die in your stomach either from the amount of grease it is cooked in, or your own ulcerous digestive juices from years of mistreating your body, then just disregard the rest of the warnings to avoid this outhouse. My food was appalling, but seeing as I'm the adventurous type and fit into the latter category, I ate what I could. The soup, supposedly mushrooms and spice, smelled of urine. I'm not kidding. If Coco Chanel were stuck on a deserted island with only her soiled Depends and this soup to make a new scent and returned a year later to civilization, you and I would be buying celebrity piss to adorn ourselves. It would be the new black, to borrow a cliché. Everything was either burnt, refried^2, or plain crap. Don't. Patronize. I'll be sending them my dry cleaning bill for the any potential sharding incidents. read more

Ahhh, new chinatown restaurant... there's only one time of day that i ever visit this place, and that's usually at the wee hours of the early morning after a night of dancing/drinking, before we go home to our warm beds... the food is not bad at all, especially when you're starving... we always get the salt and pepper shrimp (which is laced with lots of salt and msg, good when you're in the mood for that), salt and pepper pork (which i must warm, probably is composed of more batter than pork, but it's an acquired taste), the hong kong fried rice (good), beef chow fun (beef very tender), and sauteed veggies in garlic or bean curd sauce... this isn't a place you go to for service, half the time your waitstaff doesn't speak english very well (menu comes in handy to communicate/translate) the food is very affordable, but you must have cash (no credit card machine... sign says it's broken, but i think they've never had one in the first place :) this place really hits the spot when you need it! read more

One of my favorite late nite grub destinations! They are open from 5 pm to 5 am, this place is always packed with people after last call at the bars/clubs. The food is better than most late night joints. If you and your friends are either 1. too tired to really figure out what to order or 2. too drunk to care what you're eating, I would recommend just ordering one of the family style menus. fair warning, always order for the amount below the actual number of people in your group, otherwise you'll have so much food you won't know what to do with it. There really isn't much too look at, it's your basic hole in the wall chinese restaurant: tables, chairs, cooler with bottled beverages. Don't get me wrong, it's clean enough but there really isn't much of an ambiance. It's your basic, I want food, feed me and let me out type of place. Service can be spotty, as there is usually only one person working the front even when the place is packed. They try and are courteous, but there is only so much one person can do on their own. Bring cash, if I remember correctly, they no longer accept credit cards. read more

Open late for me and my date! :) Hole in the wall restaurant that's open late AND has a plethora of Chinese food items on the menu. We ordered the small wonton soup which was enough for two persons. The dish was filled with bok choy, at least 10 wontons, chop suey (red pork) and an opaque pork broth, topped with diced scallions. Are you drooling yet???? All combined together to become an amazingly soothing and fulfilling dish after a long night of dancing and drinking on the town. Honestly, I could say it's probably ranked in the upper 90th percentile as to how good this wonton soup was compared to others that I have tried. The crowd is mixed. There were blacks, mexicans and asians all in one area. The dining area is mall but you can combine tables if you have a larger party (as the group behind us had done for their party of 8 persons). Service was pretty practical of an Asian establishment. Server says hi, give us menus and tea, walks around, takes our order, pay at counter, leave and he might or might not say thank you and bye. Prices were INEXPENSIVE. I was expecting a tiny bowl of wonton soup but out came this motherload of wontons floating in broth. Sooooo worth the visit if you're hungry and it's late and south of the loop isn't too bothersome for you. I'll have to try something else tonight if dim sum isn't available. :D HIT IT!!!!! read more

Maybe their strategy for the restaurant's name is that if you are looking for something "new," they'll be in that mix? The current lack of a knowledgeable English speaker among their wait staff may be a challenge for some. The proximity in taste to Cantonese food was what attracted us. Not at all very tasty or well executed. Our simplest dish was Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. It was cooked just right, but preparation of the stalks of the gai lonn did not aid in eating them. Each stalk was sliced in such a way that thwarted picking it up with fork or chopsticks! Quite an accomplishment. The meat-filled fish balls (3 per bowl) were about the size of a large matzoh ball, but a lot denser, which made them difficult to eat or divide (especially in the soup bowl). Our stir-fried green beans could have been very good, with slivers of garlic, ginger, and fried bacon in the mix. But for some reason, it was all overcooked. Some of the beans had become almost paper-like. Finally, we chose the stir-fried jelly fish, expecting that the main ingredient would be sliced into bands as we had eaten in other restaurants, but NCR's come whole, making them much more difficult to chew. Their name and location (just east of Little Three Happiness) should ensure they thrive, but there are much better choices in Chinatown for a similar menu. read more

My husband and I have been coming to this restaurant since we were 19 years old and after 12 years, it hurts me to say that we will not be returning to the "new" New Chinatown. The food isn't the same and the prices have changed. The food we ordered was just awful. My Kung pao chicken was oily, unseasoned, flavor less and had more vegetables than chicken! My husbands orange chicken was completely different from what it used to be. The "orange sauce" was served on the side and was flavor less and the chicken was dry. I will always have wonderful memories of the "old" New Chinatown. read more

Had a craving for some bad Chinese food last night at 11 with the gf and walked around Chinatown before giving this place a try. First Impression: Very hole-in-the-wall type restaurant. Similar to what you may see in China. The cheap linoleum flooring to the chairs. As dirty as it looks, it fits the restaurant well! 1/1 star Food: I had the beef & tomato rice (with added Egg) and my gf had the black pepper beef chow mein. The rice was TASTY TASTY!~ The beef was tender and the sauce wasn't too sweet. The way I like it! The chow mein wasn't bad, but they put way too much black pepper in. After a while, all I really tasted was black pepper! I'm guessing that can be a hit or miss dish. 1/2 stars Drinks: Didn't have one here, as they only had canned soda, bottle water and Arizona ice tea. But I will give them the star anyway for carrying Brisk Iced Tea! That's BRISK BABY! 1/1 star Service: Definitely pretty weak sauce here. I asked him to recommend some rice boxes and he didn't seem too sure. Working in a restaurant, I'd think he should know at least what's popular and not. *sigh* I'm glad he didn't recommend anything anyway...I liked my Beef Tomato and Egg Rice! 0/1 star All in all, New Chinatown Restaurant wasn't what I would say Awesome, but it surely wasn't bad! I may have to come back for my $4.25 rice box! read more

All I have to say really - THE BEST salt and pepper pork chops and crab rangoon in chinatown!!! And super cheap too, except their credit card machine has been out of order for years (why can't they just say "we don't accept credit cards"?). You have to come here without expectations of a fancy place or super awesome service, if you have dined in chinatown before than you should know what's up. The same young guy with glasses in the white shirt always serves us. I have no complaints about him at all, nice guy, does his job, calmly handles the bums that come in, and does his best on his own when it's busy late night on the weekends. :) :) :) :) read more

Avoid this place like the plague unless you like overpriced, over fried, über salty food accompanied with "steamed" veggies that would be more at place on a raw veggie platter. The tea and rice were the only palatable items and for $15 (for two people getting the lunch special) that's truly unacceptable. I think their lunch special is just refried leftovers from yesterday's dinner menu. There are SO many other restaurants to chose from in the area. So chose one of those instead. read more

This is the only FuZhou style cooking restaurant in the whole Midwest. Dishes are different than northern style cooking and similar to Cantonese cooking but more heavy on taste. They specialize on stir-fried seafood, Fuzhou fish ball, rice noodles, and fried taro cake. Staffs doesn't speak English well, but friendly. I learn many different Fuzhou traditional dishes by talking to staffs and customer there. More pictures on their menu or posted on wall will be a big help for a person like me do know much about Fuzhou style cooking. Dishes came out quickly and steamy hot, which is I love. Taste is on the heavy side for stir-fried, but rice noodle is great. I love the fact I can actually choose different kind of meat and seafood to put in there. Makes it interesting every time I have it. Definitely a new experience. Their price are very reasonable, and also serve American Chinese food. read more
