The food is delicious no-frills Chinese takeout. Efficient service. I loved the crab rangoon. Crispy and not too sweet. A stalwart of the community. I highly recommend this place if in the area.

This is the worst chinese I’ve ever had. My husband and I are no strangers to ordering chinese either. We had: — crab Rangoon: this was ok crab Rangoon. It had a decent amount of stuffing and was your standard triangle Rangoon. The taste was off for us and we can’t peg exactly what it is. — sesame chicken: This was the worst sesame chicken I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of sesame chicken. The chicken was actually moist, but the crust tasted like a dried out roaster chicken with some sesame seeds thrown on it. The sauce tasted like thin, not very flavorful brown gravy. — red chili chicken: my husband thought it was ok. It was spicy, but a little on the salty side. Even the white rice seemed a little off in a bad way, but we couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. I would not recommend this place.

Chinese food is usually a go-to when my boyfriend and I are looking to do take out. Wanting to try out a new place for Chinese, we decided to give New Chinese Kitchen a whirl. We always pass by the place, but for some reason have never given it a shot. Maaaaan I’m happy we did. The man who greeted us at the register when we picked up our food was so nice and positive and smiley, that you yourself couldn’t help but smile. We paid and left with our heavy bags of food. Starving and«hangry», we tore the bags open. We could not believe the portion size. Holy CRAP. You get a ton of food. No wonder our bags were so heavy. We ordered chicken fried rice, general tso’s chicken, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon. So much food. We barely made a dent in any of it before we started to fall into a food coma. Not only was the portion size more than generous, it tasted good too. Is the food five star gourmet? Heck no. It’s Chinese takeout for pete’s sake. I’m not going to say the food was mind blowing, but it was definitely worth it. You get a ton of good food for way cheap. Do I recommend this place? Heck yes. Try New Chinese Kitchen out. Can’t argue with the price!

We used to carry out here quite regularly but the food has taken a downward plunge. We’ve had terrible experiences recently with the chicken dishes. The quality of the chicken has turned from tasty, juicy, tender chicken to chewy, rubbery pieces. The sesame chicken, chicken kow, and even the chicken noodle soup must have changed to the same subpar grade of poultry because it all resembles chewing on a rubber band. Steer clear of the chicken dishes.

Kung Pao chicken was tasteless and was the least bit spicy, The beef and broccoli was Horrible! bascially it was unseasoned boiled meat in salty brown gravy, even the pork fried rice sucked, most of our meal ended up in the garbage! never again!

We have been ordering from New Chinese Kitchen for a long time… at least 8 yrs. It is a «treat» — the food tastes great, is fast(10 – 15 minutes), inexpensive(two lg. dishes for under $ 18), and always hot. The portions are huge… we usually have leftovers for two more meals– which is part of the fun. We love: the hunan beef… tons of very tender beef along with a variety of chinese veggies, the egg foo young(comes with 4 pattties and plenty of gravy), General chicken(feeds 3 people). The two triple delight is also very good– with 3 kinds of meat and 3 varieties of mushrooms, and the House Special low mein(with thin, crispy panfried noodles) are also very good. We always have extra rice when we order– so usually end up making our own version of fried rice a few days later to use up the left-overs. The crab rangoon is great, and our daughter loves their soups(wonton and egg drop.) They are in the strip mall at Woodward and 75th Streets, a few doors down from Pepe’s. It’s carry out, but there are a few tables if you want to eat in. Note, they are closed on Mondays. The owner, Tim is friendly and always thanks us for our order when we pick it up. This is one of our favorite carry-out places cause the food is consistently good!

I like chinese food and just this place is ok! I rather go to Gong Ho down the street or even Darien chop Suey right down the road much better food! Very clean carry out place with nice owners, though!

Good for a local chinese takeout place. Pricing is good and you get kind of a lot of food.

I decided to try this place for dinner and was disappointed as the reviews looked so good. I got the chicken with broccoli, however it should have been called broccoli with broccoli as there were only 4 or five small pieces of chicken and the rest packed with broccoli I couldn’t finish. The fried rice tasted like it had been made with coffee or some other odd flavor. Something didn’t taste right with it and it was barely edible. The potstickers were the only good part of the meal as they were cooked perfectly and the flavor combined with dipping sauce made them even more delicious. I don’t think I will be going back. For the price, it wasn’t worth the effort and food. I would recommend trying another place.

New Chinese Kitchen has been around for many years, my numerous experiences with them have been no less than perfect. New Chinese Kitchen isn’t like your average Chinese take out where food portions are small, and ingredients aren’t fresh; they’re the exact opposite. Cheap food, enormous portions, great taste. I’m not talking about a bit bigger than normal, their boxes are loaded with food! This has been consistent for many years, food portions have not gone down at all. I’ve tried plenty of dishes from this place but I do recommend the ones I normally get. — Fried rice(huge portions, always have leftovers, tastes great.) — Crab Rangoon(not too oily, not over-fried) — Sesame Chicken, lets just say its not your average Sesame chicken there’s a zing to the sauce and the chicken is never hard. Best Sesame chicken I’ve ever had. The cashier Jeffery is very friendly, holds a conversation with you and always has a smile on his face. And if you don’t know what to get or want to try something new, just ask, you won’t regret the recommendations. 5 Stars, best Chinese carry-out ever.

Our favorite Chinese take-out place :) We go here weekly, for at least four years now, and we have never had a bad experience! The owners are so nice and now recognize us on the phone! Highly recommend the Orange Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken w/Egg Fried Rice, and Crab Rangoon — some of our faves :)

I’ve been eating from here since 2002. This place have very good quality food with open kitchen, which makes it fun to watch. They are always fresh and clean inside ! There are several menu items that I still want to try; however, I always get my favorite dish, which is the Jalapeño Delight. One must experience the ripeness of their jalapeño peppers. Consistently fresh and delicious every time, with perfectly tangy flavorfulness of the mouthwatering shrimps, beefs and chicken over thick Lo Mein noodle.

i have been going to this place since I moved to the area in July 2011. Very good food, great prices and very friendly employees. I particularly like the Singapore Chow Mai noodles, the orange chicken and a special they often have: breaded fried chicken breasts with onion fried rice. The potstickers, spring rolls and teriyaki beef are also great. My only complaint is that I wish there was an opportunity to leave a tip when using a credit card… I very rarely carry any cash.

I am on a mission to find a Chinese take out place on my way from work to home. New Chinese Kitchen is the fourth one I tried. Thanks for Philip C.‘s review. We enjoyed the Red Chili Chicken. A tiny place in small mall on Woodward and 75th. We just finished up the shopping at Meijier’s and decided to try this place. I called up first to order the chicken and a veggie dish. The package was ready for me to pick up when we walked into this place about 10 minutes later. The old gentleman at the counter was very nice to me. He added the fortune cookies, chopsticks, and chili oil/sauce container into our package once I walked in there. He has correctly assumed I like the spicy food and use the chopsticks. Red Chili Chicken was basically the chicken breast stripes soaked in chili sauce with red chilli peppers and onions. Spicy and tasty. If you love spicy food, dipping the chicken in the chili oil/sauce makes the chicken taste even better. It is fairly close to Lao Sichuan’s chilli chicken with bigger pieces of chicken and non-fried. The Veggie deluxe was a typical Americanized Chinese dish with a light brown sauce all over over-cooked veggies. Nothing special. It is a nice Americanized Chinese take out place. I might pay another visit to try something else in addition to the Red Chili Chicken.

This place is pretty good. It’s typical, nothing really separates this place from your normal chinese food store — fronts. But their food is good, and they give you a very good size portion when you order the dinner; definitely enough for you to take leftovers to work for lunch the next day… What I liked: The place seemed clean and their prices were fair. I ordered the orange chicken dinner w/fried rice. My chicken was good, kind of sweet but that wasn’t a bad thing. My fried rice could’ve been better though, it tasted like they over-cooked it. I can say I’d give them a second chance.

Gross… 1. The beef and broccoli was super watery. 2. The«fried rice» tasted terrible(cant even explain!) 3. vegetable egg rolls were very tough and chewy. My Husband however liked the egg foo young(and only the egg foo young) and did eat the whole thing, but the rest of it I threw in the garbage :(. Do not recommend at all! Plus they charge you for chop sticks and a few other normal items that you associate with a Chinese Meal. I understand the prices are decent and maybe that’s how they make back some cash but i’ve never seen it done that way. In my opinion Tai San Chef down the street is much better.

I was surprised how good the food was. I’ve been going to my friend’s house lately for NFL Redzone, so we always just grab food from a place nearby. On the plus side, the order took only 15 minutes, but sadly they’re carry-out only. Oh well, not that a big deal. My favorite was the Red Chili Chicken. Juicy chunks of chicken in a spicy chili sauce, scattered with red chilis. Spicy deliciousness! The Jalapeño Fried Rice was pretty good, as well as the General Chicken. Not General Tso’s, just General. The one dish the place makes in a very unique way, is their Sesame Chicken. It’s not your average sweet chunks of crispy chicken nuggets… it’s actually not sweet at all. You get 3 large crispy chicken breasts, sliced up into huge chunks, in a savory sesame sauce. Differentt, but very good. I loved the food and plan on ordering again and again.
