    Rice is terrible chicken is not appetizing and the broccoli was non existent seems like they’re reheating old rice not fresh at all. Trash paper all around kitchen looks dirty.

    Ordered wings & lemonade. Was told ten minutes. Ask why others that came in before me with bigger orders were taken care of FIRST. No apology offered for the FOUR WINGS AND LEMONADE ORDERED. Not huge on returning here. I waited almost a freaking HOUR. Call ahead. They seem to prefer that.

    I wasn't sure what to think of this place when I walked by. I was staying in a hotel a few blocks away and was looking for a quick takeout meal one night and stopped here. It looks like a dive Chinese restaurant, but the food was great. Nothing fancy, but good food and great prices.

    New China has by far some of the best Chinese food in Boston! The prices are cheap compared to the amount of food they provide and based on other Chinese restaurants in the Boston area. This dinner combo plate was $11.25 with rice, boneless spare ribs and General chicken. Amazing!

    This is an example of don't judge a book by its cover. The food tasted really good and reasonably-priced. We were visiting Boston and happen to come upon this place and kept coming back!

    No frills Take Out. Cash Only(but they do have an ATM inside) Tons of good Chinese at a pretty reasonable price! The portion sizes are HUGE and the food is made well. Highly recommend. Probably one of the best Chinese places in Boston. Great place to grab some food if you are at BMC! Had so much food at lunch, I had what was left for dinner.

    Look at the pictures on the wall, this place has been around for a while now. Its delicious and cheap, but still good quality. Seriously, it doesn't get any better hole in the wall restaurant than this. Its a gem hidden among the streets of Boston. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend!

  • 5/5 Zarir S. 3 years ago on Google
    Cheap but tasty food would recommend! It is very small store not much seating but they mainly do take out anyway. This is not fancy food if that is what you not the right place but if you want tasty food at a cheap price this is the spot!

  • 5/5 Saif B. 4 years ago on Google
    Beef with broccoli (small) was great! The portion size and pricing were a big plus as well. This is a quick, no frills, cash only kinda place.

  • 1/5 Milderd C. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time ordering from this place, they picked up the phone and didn't say hello, I heard them chatting in a conversation then they decided to take my order, not only was my order wrong, but it was cold, and I tipped the driver he was respectful, can't really say how the food tasted because it was cold, how did they wind up with four stars? There's no way!? But I'll never order from there again, I guess when you order from the hood this is what you get

    Pros: Its a good chinese fix for cheap when you dont want to cook and not wanting to spend too much. Cons: They only accept cash.

    This place has by far some of the best Chinese food ever in Boston!!! The food is also reasonably priced too, which makes it a great place to order food from. I couldn't really rate the atmosphere because I usually order delivery. They also deliver your food fast too. I love this place, will definitely miss it when I move from this area. Thanks for years of excellent service and great food. I highly recommend New China to anyone in the area looking for great tasting food at an inexpensive price.

    Ive been wanting to try this place for a while and im glad i did. Definitely one of the best Chinese food places in the area! Portions sizes are so good and it only took about 15 minutes for my food to be done!
