The Take
New China (Kenneth City) serves the standard American-Chinese takeout trap: cheap, fast, and engineered for cravings rather than nutrition. Local fans praise the General Tso's and delivery speed, but the menu stays locked in lo mein, fried shrimp, wings, and sweet sauces with zero sourcing details.
This spot attracts buyers chasing childhood nostalgia or budget convenience while pretending the fried items count as a treat. The identity play is cope disguised as comfort food.
The Verdict
The food hits the nostalgia button for locals who rate it highly on delivery apps, but the default setup screams seed-oil cathedral with sugary glazes and fried everything. Reviews confirm consistent taste without any claims about better oils or fresh sourcing.
Order the steamed chicken or shrimp with mixed veggies and brown rice if offered.
