New Elite Restaurant

This restaurant is a must-visit for clay pot rice lovers. The rice arrives sizzling with a golden, crispy bottom and perfectly infused flavors. Their Chinese sausage and marinated pork combo is outstanding.

The wait is worth it, as each pot is cooked to order. Pair your meal with their stir-fried veggies and homemade chili sauce for a complete experience. With its cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and attentive service, this spot delivers comfort food at its best.

Clay pot rice was on point. Their taro appetizer was also really good. Would definitely come back when I’m craving authentic food from the hometown

Left work late tonight and New Elite is just 3 minutes west on Valley Blvd of my office. I was originally going to come try this restaurant yesterday night for Mid-Autumn Festival dinner but found out they are closed on Tuesday. We arrived at 7:30 and took a look at the menu and this is a Cantonese restaurant that serves dishes more specifically to my family’s region the Toisan (臺山) / Hoiping (開平) area of Guangdong. It was quite cool and chilly tonight and after looking at the menu, we decided on a soup and a claypot rice. Under the specialties we decided on the Tai Shan Style Salty Rice Ball (台山鹹湯圓) and the Quail & Preserved Meat Clay Pot Rice (鹌鹑腊味煲仔饭) to share. When the waitress came to take our order she asked us about a vegetable dish and recommended the Sautéed Preservee Chinese Pork Belly w/ Garlic Sprouts (腊味炒蒜苔). We were started off with some complimentary hot tea that was very fragrant and strong. First dish that came out was the Tai Shan Salty Rice Ball and it was a huge bowl for $13.90 and loaded with daikon strips, napa, salted chicken (steamed chicken that’s cured by being patted down in salt) , Chinese sausage, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, dried shrimp, green onions, cilantro and soft pillowy rice balls which are little dumplings made from the perfect mixture of glutinous rice flour and water. The broth was so warm & comforting to the stomach and soul yet flavorful with all the ingredients. The second dish that came was the claypot. We took off all the preserved meats and quail and vegetables to a separate plate poured on their special soy sauce and mixed. The rice was perfectly cooked and as always the crispy rice at the bottom was the best, it turns out the quail was preserved too. Lastly was the recommended garlic sprouts and it was the first time we ever had it and it was sautéed with some long beans and preserved Chinese pork belly (臘肉) and the garlic sprouts and long beans vibrantly green and sautéed with so much “wok hay” we could hear it from the kitchen. The garlic sprouts were crunchy and naturally sweet complimented with the long beans and thinly sliced preserved pork belly, a wonderful vegetable dish. Really appreciative of the recommendation. As we were packing our leftovers to go, we were given complimentary dessert which is 砵仔糕, a steamed dessert made from rice flour, starch and either white or brown sugar and molded into little cups and it gets the best Asian compliment that it’s “not too sweet”. It was my first time trying it but nostalgic for my mom who had it growing up in Hong Kong. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their soups, specialities, signature dishes, and even their lunch specials that’s served everyday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Very hometown flavor

I came with my family here for the first time. And the food is great. The eel clay pot and the seafood tofu pot is my favorite. We also ordered a duck meat plate which was a little salty because of the fermented beans, but it makes it perfect for the rice from the clay pot.

Only con is the parking lot space is pretty packed here so you could use the plaza next to it since there is parking spaces there.

solid. I have been coming here once a week for the past 4 weeks, their 干炒牛河 (pic 3) is the best in the area. Slightly better selection than nature pagoda, and much faster too.. The boss (?) buses the front of the restaurant and cooks the clay pot rice, so she disappears sometimes but you can see her through the kitchen window cooking it.

Worst pepper & salt squid I've ever had, way too salty
