What should you order at New China Beach? Steamed dodge

New China Beach delivers the usual takeout lineup but hides behind steamable options that actually cut the damage.

July 25, 2026 About New China Beach

Seed-oil General Tso's isn't a flex, it's a trap.

The Take

New China Beach is 79 slop: standard American-Chinese takeout in seed-oil drag. The menu sticks to fried rice, lo mein and sweet-sauce General Tso's with default fry oil and no sourcing claims.

Steamed chicken or shrimp with broccoli and brown rice is the only move that limits the damage. Everything else swims in the fryer.

The Verdict

Skip the fried stuff and sweet sauces. Ask for sauce on the side plus extra steamed vegetables and you can salvage a meal.

The 79 slop score says it all. Based order is steamed chicken or shrimp with broccoli and brown rice if available.
