Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Ever since our old favorite, Chop Suey Inn, closed and sold their business to the proprietors of what is unfortunately now Rice Lovers, we have been on the search for a new go-to Chinese place. The Chinese food craving didn't hit very hard during the summer, but it hit hard and fast tonight. Having seen that New China had such positive reviews on Yelp and Urbanspoon, we decided to give them a shot. The decision was somewhat spontaneous (ordering Chinese food usually is), and it was a little late in the evening on a Sunday, so I decided to call and make sure they were going to be open long enough to put in an order. The lady informed me in the broken English so typical of the most-beloved Chinese restaurants that they may close early due to a slow night, but maybe not. The vagueness was a good sign, as the best Chinese restaurants generally play by their own rules and don't really care what you or I think. She happily told me that I could put in my order right then on the phone, which I did. I decided to play it safe, and ordered a sesame chicken and two egg rolls. After I was informed it would be ready in ten minutes, I ran out to the car and headed to where Google Maps and Yelp claim that New China is located, roughly somewhere around ABSCO Fireplace & Patio or Zaxby's, even though I don't remember a Chinese place over there. As I was pacing up and down the 280 access road, I got a call on my phone. I answered and promptly was asked if I was coming to pick up my order. With a chuckle, I said yes, but that I was having a hard time finding the place. The lady then told me that they are located (Fellow Yelpers, take note) behind the Krispy Kreme on 280 and then proceeded to curtly ask me to hurry up as they had decided to close for the night. I took no offense to this, as again, this is pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant; bluntness is apparently part of their culture. When I arrived, the staff was very friendly and apologized for the confusing directions, which of course was not their fault at all. I received my food and my card was processed promptly. I was in and out in 60 seconds flat. The dining room was simple and didn't have the chintzy decor so often seen in Chinese places. I wouldn't make plans to dine in, but for the once out of ten times that I decide to dine in for Chinese, it would be more than suitable. Now on to the food. First, the egg rolls. Oh my. A perfect ratio of crispy outside to hot and soft outside, and they were very hearty egg rolls to boot. Totally worth the $2.50 for the two of them. Next, we split the sesame chicken with steamed rice. The rice was quite good, not the mushy mess that some places serve you. The chicken pieces all appeared to be white meat chicken; they were moist and full of flavor. The best part was that they were only lightly breaded and lightly sauced, unlike some restaurants that give you triple-breaded dark meat chicken drowned in sauce. My only complaint was that the sesame seeds were all concentrated on about five pieces of chicken at the top-center of the pile; there wasn't much of an effort to spread or toss the seeds with the other pieces of chicken. This isn't that big of a deal, but it would have been nice to have the entire dish resemble sesame chicken rather than only part of it. I think we have found our new staple chinese take-out restaurant, especially since it turns out that it's only about two minutes from where we live. I will definitely be returning here for that spontaneous Chinese craving. Highly recommend.

Another great Chinese takeout night. The only take out the whole family can agree on. We always order enough for lunch leftovers. Expect take out Chinese and you will be happy. We go for the sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and chicken with broccoli. Egg rolls too.

I ordered the Mandarin Shrimp thinking it was going to be spicy or at least have a kick to it, since it had a pepper icon by it; instead, it was extremely salty. The batter on the shrimp was completely dark brown, as the entire plate of shrimp was drenched in soy sauce. I tried mixing it with the white rice to mellow out the saltiness but was unable to. I couldn't eat it at all. The egg rolls were ok but filled with nothing but cabbage. :/

I was disappointed with the food. I got sesame shrimp. What I received was deep fried small, flavorless shrimp covered with a batter that was about twice the size of the shrimp. A few sesame seeds were sprinkled on top after they were cooked. They were covered with a sweet sauce that did not add to the flavor. I also got the chicken wing appetizer. They were ok, but small. I doubt that I could recommend this restaurant to anyone who was looking for a good Chinese meal.

As Chinese places go, this one's pretty darned good. The restaurant itself isn't necessarily one I would run you over to be first for a seat in, but we order take out from New China at least once a week. The atmosphere is just a little quirky - but what Chinese restaurant atmosphere isn't? The Run Down: APPS Love the fried Won Ton - Not your typical won ton with the pork inside - this one has the cheese filling but still tastes great and at $3, it's a deal. Their egg rolls ($2.50 for 2) are REALLY good, fresh crunchy veggies, not soggy at all. SOUP I have had the Egg Drop, Won Ton and Hot and Sour soups and have not been disappointed with them at all. The Won Ton soup is probably the best (and most fresh) I've tasted anywhere. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/new-… ). I'm not crazy about the Hot and Sour - it had a strange consistency that made me think I was eating a bowl of duck fat (not that I've eaten straight up duck fat or anything). ENTREE ohhhhh wow - Don't even know where to start here. My favorite has to be Sesame Beef ($10). It's so good. I get mine extra spicy and with additional broccoli. They don't seem to mind the requests for extra veggies (read: no upcharge!). I'm also a fan of the Kung Pao Chicken ($8.95) and the Kung Pao Beef, as well ($9.50) yelp.com/biz_photos/new-… . The Chicken w Asst veggies ($8.95) (extra broccoli) is very good too. Lots of fresh veggies. All white chicken. Not too many of those crazy little corn on the cob things (those always confuse me - weird). And we always end up with a Lo Mein. The pork is awesome. The chicken is my 2nd fave. Good price for those ($8). The restaurant is clean. They staff is very friendly. When they say it will be done in 15m, they are on the money. The Verdict: As I eat my way through the Chinese food options in the N. Shelby County area, I think this one fits the bill for consistency, price / value, tastiness.

Pretty good! My only recommendation would be to take it home. The inside is similar to most other Chinese restaurants. Nothing to brag about. Food is pretty good though! I will definitely be going back.
