New China

I work at the VA in Manteno, and the NEW CHINA carryout place off of Rt. 50 in Manteno is a business that needs to rethink how they treat our veterans. The VA is at the most 2 miles away, and it takes them a minimum of 2 hours to get their food there. Once it was over 2 ½ hours, and one of my patients (a diabetic) had to eat, and told the delivery person to take the food back. They won’t even accept his call anymore. I am forced to call for him now, and I can tell you from personal experience how rude they are. I apologized that I wasn’t able to understand what they were saying, and she snapped back — «I CAN’T UNDERSTAND YOU EITHER!» They are the only Chinese business in town and if that’s the food they want, the veterans have no choice. In addition, their order must be $ 10.00 or more to have it delivered.
PLEASE *** we need to send them a message they do understand… A major hit to their profit line.

I’m always nervous about eating at Chinese restaurants because I tend to get something that tastes a little fishy… But I have to say that I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve eaten at this place. The hot and sour soup is fantastic! I also enjoy the hunan pork, kung pao chicken and the fried rice. Even my toddler who is very picky likes the fried rice. All their vegetables are fresh. They are always super busy, sometimes when you call you get a busy tone for minutes. Just try again in a few minutes. The only complaint is that they have their kids answering the phone and ringing you up, and sometimes the boy just can’t keep up. Otherwise, it’s excellent.

I ordered from here wanting to try this spot because not all Chinese restaurants are good. Being that I travel alot eating from different restaurants is apart of trucking. I only order shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. The shrimp fried rice was the worst I’ve ever had. Real shrimp fried rice doesn’t have peas and carrots and even if there was the taste was not what I expected. My egg roll had overcooked cabbage in it so it was mushy. I wouldn’t not buy from here again. Sorry but shrimp fried rice is something hard to mess up. Failed…
