New China - Lambeth

The waitress who asked for our order gave dirty looks, sighed when there was miss communication and was overall very rude. When my partner asked another waitress where the toilet was she looked annoyed. Food was standard overal I’d say a 5/10 There’s also a 12.5% service charge that I didn’t feel was fair to pay, considering our the service was some of the worse I’ve had. We’d normally tip but definitely not here.

My friend and I ordered a half portion of Aromatic Crispy Duck through Just Eat (as Deliveroo only offered a quarter portion). It was perfect. The Lemon Chicken and Beef and Mushroom dishes were tasty as well, but we were confused as to why the Egg Fried Rice was a dark, nutty color.

Ordered a takeaway for four of us. Arrived early (within 25 minutes on a Tuesday) and nice a hot. Generous portions. Nice Crispy Aromatic Duck to start. The Chicken Chop Suey was too red and seemed to be full of Sodium Mono. Lovely Beef and Mushroom in Oyster sauce. Lemon Chicken too lemony. Good

I have visited this restaurant a few times for takeout, and the food is always delicious and reasonably priced. I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and affordable Chinese takeout option.

We only ever use New China for Chinese take away. It is the best. Set menu B for two. Heaps of flavour, great rice, generous portion size and reasonably priced.
